Immunogenic chemotherapy enhances recruitment of CAR-T cells to solid tumors and improves anti-tumor efficacy when combined with checkpoint blockade [scRNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: CAR-T cell therapy is effective in hematologic malignancies but not in solid tumors. In breast and lung cancer patients, CAR-T cells targeting ROR1 infiltrated tumors poorly and became dysfunctional. To test strategies for enhancing efficacy, we induced ROR1+ lung tumors in KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53fl/f mice. Murine ROR1 CAR-T cells transferred after lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide (Cy) transiently controlled tumor growth but infiltrated tumors poorly and lost function, as observed in patients. Adding oxaliplatin (Ox) to the lymphodepletion regimen activated tumor macrophages to express T cell-recruiting chemokines, resulting in improved CAR-T cell infiltration, remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, and increased tumor sensitivity to anti-PD-L1. Combination therapy with Ox/Cy and anti-PD-L1 synergistically improved CAR-T mediated tumor control and survival, providing a strategy to improve CAR-T cell efficacy in the clinic.

Immune Restoring (IR) CAR-T Cells Display Superior Antitumor Activity and Reverse Immunosuppressive TME in a Humanized ccRCC Orthotopic Mouse Model

Project description:Here we report a humanized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) orthotopic NSG-SGM3 mouse model (hccRCC-NSG-SGM3) with reconstituted human lymphocytes derived from fetal CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) bearing human ccRCC skrc-59 cells under the kidney capsule. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched CD34+ HSCs were used for the humanization to reduce T cell alloreactivity against skrc-59 human ccRCC cells. Tumors were collected and sorted for CD45+ tumor infiltrated leukocytes (TILs) to profile the tumor microenvironment (TME) in hccRCC-NSG-SGM3. By comparing to patient data from prospective clinical trials of the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) nivolumab in advanced ccRCC, the results demonstrated that the CD45+ TILs from hccRCC-NSG-SGM3 reconstitutes most CD45+ cell types, including NK cells, dendritic cells, exhausted CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), that are observed in advanced ccRCC patient TME. Furthermore, Anti-carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) G36 immune restoring (IR) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells secreting PD-L1 targeted immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) mAb (G36-PDL1) exhibited superior tumor control compared to G36 CAR-T cells with anti-SARS mAb (G36-SARS) and anti-BCMA A716 CAR-T cells with anti-PD-L1 mAb (A716-PDL1). In addition, G36-PDL1 CAR-T cells restored active anti-tumor immunity at tumor site uncovered by 10X genomics single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single cell T cell receptor sequencing (scTCR-seq).

Gene-expression profiles of ovarian cancer regarding its microenvironment

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-? regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. In clinical samples, the number of stromal CTLs in peritoneally disseminated tumors was correlated with PD-L1 expression on the tumor cells, and the lymphocyte number was significantly related to the IFN-? signature score. In mouse models, PD-L1 was induced in peritoneal disseminated tumors, where lymphocytes were prominent, but not in subcutaneous tumors. Depleting IFNGR1 resulted in lower PD-L1 expression and longer survival in peritoneal dissemination model. Injection of IFN-? into subcutaneous tumors increased PD-L1 expression and tumor size, and PD-L1 depletion abrogated tumor growth. These data suggest that IFN-? works as a tumor progressor through PD-L1 induction. The source of IFN-? in ovarian cancer microenvironment and its biological effect to the tumor cells is unclear. The immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell line, HOSE-E7/hTERT (HOSE) was treated with IFN-? and expression microarray analysis was performed, and probes showing significantly higher values in IFN-?-added group were termed “IFN-? signature genes (295 probes)”. We then applied this signature to our ovarian cancer microarray data, which included 75 ovarian cancer clinical samples, by means of ss-GSEA. IFN-? signature score was strongly correlated to the number of infiltrating CD4-positive or CD8-positive lymphocytes in the tumors. These data suggest that the IFN-? in the ovarian cancer microenvironment is derived from lymphocytes, and an IFN-?-rich microenvironment is strongly correlated to a lymphocyte-rich microenvironment. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in human ovarian cancer tissue were observed in different tumor immunological microenvironment.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:Disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interaction rejuvenates antitumor immunity. Clinical successes by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 binding have grown across wide-ranging cancer histologies, but innate therapy resistance is evident in the majority of treated patients1. Cancer cells can express robust surface levels of PD-L1 to tolerize tumor-specific T cells, but regulation of PD-L1 protein levels in the cancer cell is poorly understood. Quasi-mesenchymal tumor cells up-regulate PD-L1/L2 and induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment, including expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells and exclusion of CD8+ T-cell infiltration2. Targeted therapy, including MAPK inhibitor therapy in melanoma, leads to quasi-mesenchymal transitions and resistance3, and both MAPK inhibitor treatment and mesenchymal signatures are associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance4,5. Here we identify ITCH as an E3 ligase that downregulates tumor cell-surface PD-L1/L2 in PD-L1/L2-high cancer cells, including MAPK inhibitor-resistant melanoma, and suppresses acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance in and only in immune-competent mice. ITCH interacts with and poly-ubiquitinates PD-L1/L2, and ITCH deficiency increases cell-surface PD-L1/L2 expression and reduces T cell activation. Mouse melanoma tumors grow faster with Itch knockdown only in syngeneic hosts but not in immune-deficient mice. MAPK inhibitor therapy induces tumor cell-surface PD-L1 expression in murine melanoma, recapitulating the responses of clinical melanoma3, and this induction is more robust with Itch knockdown. Notably, suppression of ITCH expression first elicits a shift toward an immune-suppressive microenvironment and then accelerates resistance development. These findings collectively identify ITCH as a critical negative regulator of PD-L1 tumor cell-surface expression and provide insights into previously unexplained role of PD-L1 in adaptive resistance to therapy.

The immunocytokine PD1-IL2v overcomes resistance to tumor immunity, and synergizes with anti-PD-L1

Project description:Immunotherapies have shown remarkable, albeit tumor-selective therapeutic benefits in the clinic. Here we evaluated the effects of the immunocytokine PD1-IL2v in a mouse model of de novo pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer resistant to checkpoint and other immunotherapies. PD1-IL2v is a bi-specific molecule based on a bivalent PD-1 antibody, serving as a targeting moiety, fused to an immuno-stimulatory IL-2 variant (IL2v) to precisely deliver IL2v to PD-1+ T-cells in the tumor microenvironment. PD1-IL2v elicited dramatic infiltration by CD8 T cells, notably stem-like and effector memory T cells, resulting in tumor regression and enhanced survival in mice. Furthermore, combining anti-PD-L1 with PD1-IL2v sustained the response phase, improving therapeutic efficacy both by reprogramming immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages and tumor endothelial cells , and by enhancing TCR immune repertoire diversity. The data motivate consideration of clinical trials to evaluate the combination therapy of PD1-IL2v and anti-PD-L1, especially in immunotherapy-resistant tumors infiltrated with PD-1+ T stem-like CD8 T cells.

Tumor-Infiltrating Myeloid Cells Confer de novo Resistance to PD-L1 Blockade through EMT-stromal and Tgf-beta Dependent Mechanisms

Project description:Most bladder cancers are poorly responsive to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) of PD-L1. Thus, there is a need to define mechanisms of de novo resistance including contributions from tumor infiltrating immune cells. In this study, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to map and define infiltrating myeloid cells in 10 human bladder tumors. Human data sets were qualitatively compared with myeloid data sets from the carcinogen (BBN) induced mouse model of bladder cancer which we have demonstrated to be poorly responsive to PD-L1 blockade. We previously established a signature of acquired ICB resistance which we apply here to new human and murine tumor data sets that have not received prior ICB (or systemic treatment). In doing so, we reveal conservation in EMT-stromal core genes and TGF beta signaling between human and mouse myeloid cells consistent with signatures of de novo ICB resistance. Untreated BBN tumors were highly infiltrated with M0-M2 macrophages, low in T-NK infiltration and modeled a patient subpopulation with poor survival outcome. Concordantly, the combined targeting of TGFb + PD-L1 reverted immune cell exclusion and resulted in increased survival and delayed BBN mouse tumor progression. These data constitute the stromal and myeloid cell populations as providing a coordinate mechanism de novo resistance to PD-L1 blockade in a TGF-beta dependent manner.

SMARCAL1 is a dual regulator of innate immune signaling and PD-L1 expression that promotes tumor immune evasion

Project description:Although genomic instability can trigger cancer-intrinsic innate immune responses that promote tumor rejection, cancer cells often evade these responses by overexpressing immune checkpoint regulators, such as PD-L1. Here, we identify the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favors tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. Mechanistically, SMARCAL1 relieves endogenous DNA damage and suppresses cGAS-STING-dependent immune signaling during cancer cell growth. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the AP-1 family member JUN to maintain chromatin accessibility at a transcriptional regulatory element in the PD-L1 gene, thereby promoting PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. Loss of SMARCAL1 enhances anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes tumors to immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse melanoma model. Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a valuable target for cancer immunotherapy.

DRG2 is required for cell surface localization of PD-L1 in melanoma cells and optimum response to anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Tumors expressing high level of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) ligand 1 (PD-L1) are more likely to respond to immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) targeting PD-1 or PD-L1. However, more than half of tumor patients with high PD-L1 expression does not respond to ICBs and the underlying mechanisms are yet to be clarified. Here we show that depletion of developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 2 (DRG2) inhibited recycling of endosomal PD-L1 and reduced surface PD-L1 level in melanoma cells. DRG2-depleted cells showed decreased binding with recombinant PD-1. Although DRG2-depleted cells expressed high levels of PD-L1, anti-PD-1 ICB did not activate T cells within DRG2-depleted tumors and failed to improve the survival of DRG2-depleted tumor-bearing mice. Cohort analysis of melanoma patients under anti-PD-1 treatment revealed that patients bearing tumors with high DRG2 protein level were more sensitive to PD-1 anti-PD-1 ICBs. These findings identify DRG2 as a regulator of recycling of endosomal PD-L1 and a key determinant for response to anti-PD-1 ICB and provide insights into how to increase the correlation between PD-L1 expression and response to ICB.
