Dickkopf 1 Impairs Sensitivity to PD-1 Blockade through CD8+ T Cell Inactivation in dMMR/MSI Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT: Dickkopf 1 (DKK1) could promote tumor progression by suppressing immunity. Therefore, we investigated whether DKK1 influence prognosis and sensitivity to PD-1 blockade in colorectal cancers (CRCs) with defective DNA mismatch repair genes (dMMR) or microsatellite instability (MSI). We found that elevated DKK1 expression was associated with recurrence and dismissed CD8+ T cell infiltrations, and patients with high serum DKK1 had poor anti-PD-1 response. RNA interference or neutralization of DKK1 in CRCs enhanced CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, and down-regulation of T-bet and E2F1 following GSK3β activation was detected in DKK1-treated CD8+ T cells. In organoid-lymphocyte co-culture model, apoptosis proportions were elevated after individual neutralization of both PD-1 and DKK1, and the combined neutralization resulted in further increases. In conclusion, DKK1 suppresses tumor immunity in dMMR/MSI CRCs by inactivating CD8+ T cells through GSK3β/E2F1/T-bet axis. DKK1 neutralization may improve the sensitivity to PD-1 blockade in dMMR/MSI CRCs.

scRNAseq of orthotopic mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or chromosomally instable (CIN) colorectal cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancers (CRCs) deficient in DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) contain abundant CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) responding to the abundant neoantigens from their unstable genomes. Priming of such tumor-targeted TILs first requires recruitment of CD8+ T cells into the tumors, implying that this is an essential prerequisite of successful dMMR anti-tumor immunity. We have discovered that selective recruitment and activation of systemic CD8+ T cells into dMMR CRCs strictly depends on overexpression of CCL5 and CXCL10 due to endogenous activation of cGAS/STING and IFN signaling by damaged DNA. TIL infiltration into orthotopic dMMR CRCs is neoantigen-independent and followed by induction of a resident memory-like phenotype key to the anti-tumor response. CCL5 and CXCL10 could be upregulated by common chemotherapies in all CRCs, indicating that facilitating CD8+ T cell recruitment underlies their efficacy. Induction of CCL5 and CXCL10 thus represents a tractable therapeutic strategy to induce TIL recruitment into CRCs where local priming can be maximized even in neoantigen-poor CRCs.

Inflammatory Conditions Promote Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in High Microsatellite Instability Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Inflammatory conditions caused by obstruction or perforation are common complications in colorectal cancer (CRC) and play important roles in tumor progression and immunosuppression. However, the significance of inflammatory conditions in the tumor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains unclear. We found a high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) CRC patient (Patient 1) whose primary tumor progressed and liver metastasis regressed during PD-1 blockade after having inflammatory conditions. Then, in 73 MSI-H CRCs, inflammatory conditions during ICI treatment were correlated with a poor tumor response, and an elevated NLR was associated with a poor immune status and resistance to ICIs. An organoid-T cell coculture model demonstrated an inhibited local immune response to treatment instead of systemic immunosuppression in Patient 1. Single-cell RNA sequencing suggested that neutrophils suppress the immune microenvironment mostly through CTLA-4-associated pathways. Therefore, inflammatory conditions in MSI-H CRCs correlate with resistance to ICIs through neutrophil-associated immunosuppression. Additional CTLA-4 blockade may improve the sensitivity to PD-1 blockade.

Multi-omic colon organoid analysis highlight MSH4 as a marker of Lynch syndrome and microsatellite instability [RNA-sequencing]

Project description:Approximately 15% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients present with high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H), which is driven by defective mismatch repair (dMMR). While about 20% of MSI-H tumors are associated with the hereditary condition, Lynch syndrome (LS), the majority develop through non-hereditary mechanisms. In recent years, the molecular processes underpinning tumor development in LS patients has been debated, with the longstanding view that dMMR is a secondary process in CRC development of LS patients being questioned. Here, we performed the first multi-omic analysis of normal colon organoids developed from LS and healthy patients to address questions regarding the development of dMMR in LS colon epithelial cells from cancer-free individuals.

Remodeling of the Immune and Stromal Cell Compartment by PD-1 Blockade in Mismatch Repair-Deficient Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy can induce complete responses in mismatch repair-deficient and microsatellite instability-high (d-MMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancers (CRCs). However, the mechanism responsible for pathological complete response (pCR) to immunotherapy has not been completely understood. We utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the immune and stromal cell dynamics in 19 patients with d-MMR/MSI-H CRC treated with the neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade. In tumors with a pCR, the proportions of CD8+ Trm-mitotic, CD4+ Tregs, proinflammatory IL1B monocyte and CCL2+Fibroblast concertedly decrease following treatment, while those of CD8+ Tem, CD4+ Th, CD20+ B and HLA-DRA+ Endothelial cells increase. Proinflammatory features in tumor microenvironment mediate the persistence of residual tumors by modulating CD8+ T cells and other response-associated immune cell populations. Our study provides rich resources and biological insights into the mechanism of successful ICI therapy and potential targets to improve treatment efficacy.

Synthetical lethality of Werner helicase and mismatch repair deficiency is mediated by p53 and PUMA in colon cancer

Project description:Synthetic lethality is a powerful approach for targeting oncogenic drivers in cancer. Recent studies revealed that cancer cells with microsatellite instability (MSI) require Werner (WRN) helicase for survival; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found that WRN depletion strongly induced p53 and its downstream apoptotic target PUMA in MSI colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. p53 or PUMA deletion abolished apoptosis induced by WRN depletion in MSI CRC cells. Importantly, correction of MSI abrogated the activation of p53/PUMA and cell killing, while induction of MSI led to sensitivity in isogenic CRC cells. Rare p53-mutant MSI CRC cells are resistant to WRN depletion due to lack of PUMA induction, which could be restored by wildtype p53 knock-in or reconstitution. WRN depletion or treatment with the RecQ helicase inhibitor ML216 suppressed in vitro and in vivo growth of MSI CRCs in a p53/PUMA_x0002_dependent manner. ML216 treatment was efficacious in MSI CRC patient-derived xenografts (PDX). Interestingly, p53 gene remains wildtype in the majority of MSI CRCs. These results indicate a critical role of p53/PUMA-mediated apoptosis in the vulnerability of MSI CRCs to WRN loss, and support WRN as a promising therapeutic target in p53-wildtype MSI CRCs.
