The NK cell stress response status modulates anti-tumor immunity [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: The tumor microenvironment (TME) comprises numerous forms of cellular stress, which can activate Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), the master transcription factor of the proteotoxic stress response. We profiled HSF1 activity across tumor-infiltrating immune populations, revealing the highest activity in CD8+ T cells and the lowest in natural killer (NK) cells. To elucidate the mechanisms through which HSF1 regulates immune surveillance, we generated an in vivo model of augmented HSF1 activity. Tumor challenge revealed that accumulation of HSF1 dampens NK-mediated tumor immunity and impairs both cytotoxicity and production of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) in NK cells. Single-cell transcriptional profiling identified a loss of anti-tumor signaling pathways, including interferon signaling, within the HSF1-enhanced TME. In NK cells, integration of chromatin accessibility with transcriptomics revealed that HSF1 deregulates accessibility and expression of genes encoding for NK receptors, leading to an inhibitory bias.

The NK cell stress response status modulates anti-tumor immunity [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) harbors numerous types of cellular stress that can activate Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), a central regulator of stress response. HSF1 has been shown to directly regulate diverse gene programs beyond the classical heat shock response in a cell-type- and context-specific manner. Here, we uncover significant variability in HSF1 levels and activity between immune populations in patient tumors, with the lowest in natural killer (NK) cells. We demonstrate that accumulation of activated HSF1 in the TME dampens anti-tumor immunity through impairing NK cell cytotoxicity, which could be rescued by NK cells with homeostatic levels of HSF1. HSF1 stabilization results in altered chromatin accessibility and expression of surface receptors and signaling proteins involved in NK cell activation. We further reveal direct occupancy of HSF1 at promoters of genes encoding mediators of NK cell cytotoxicity. Single-cell transcriptional profiling of the TME in the context of elevated HSF1 revealed an inverse relationship between the stress response status and NK cell effector function. Collectively, this work identifies a novel role of HSF1 in regulating the NK cell activation state and subsequent anti-tumor functionality.

Measurement of NK Cell Activity in Whole Blood in Subjects Being Screened for Colorectal Cancer Using Colonoscopy

Project description:This study will look at measuring the activity of natural killer (NK) cells using the in vitro diagnostic device NK Vue in subjects being screened for colorectal cancer using colonoscopy. The NK Vue diagnostic test for natural killer cell activity uses the principle of stimulation of whole blood with a proprietary cytokine followed by the quantitative detection of interferon gamma using an immunoassay. NK Vue is intended to be used for the monitoring of the immune status of individuals. Measurement of NK cell activity could be a useful tool for assessing changes in immunosurveillance in patients with conditions or diseases where NK cell activity has been shown to be reduced, such as colorectal cancer.

Crosstalk between CAR T cell subsets and the tumor microenvironment is essential for sustained cytotoxic activity

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy relies on the activity of a large pool of tumor-targeting cytotoxic effectors. Whether CAR T cells act autonomously or require interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME) is unclear. Here, we report an essential crosstalk between CAR T cell subsets and the TME for tumor control. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we revealed profound modification of the TME during CAR T cell therapy. IFN-gamma produced by CAR T cells and host-derived IL-12 not only enhanced endogenous T and NK cell activity but were also essential for sustaining CAR T cell cytotoxicity as revealed by intravital imaging. Compared to CD8+ CAR T cells, CD4+ CAR T cells were more efficient at host immune activation but less capable of tumor killing. In sum, CAR T cells are not acting alone in vivo but rely instead on a cytokine-mediated crosstalk with the TME for optimal activity. Invigorating CAR T cell interplay with the host represents an attractive strategy to prevent relapses.

Gene expression profiling upon knockdown of JAK1 in IM9 cells

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are primary effectors of innate immunity directed against transformed cells. In response, tumor cells have developed mechanisms to evade NK cell-mediated lysis but the molecular basis for target cell resistance is not well understood. In the present study, we used a lentiviral shRNA library targeting more than 1000 human genes to identify 83 genes that promote target cell resistance to human NK cells. Many of the genes identified in this genetic screen belong to common signaling pathways, however, none of these genes have previously been known to modulate susceptibility of human tumor cells to immunologic destruction. In particular, gene silencing of two members of the JAK family (JAK1 and JAK2) in a variety of tumor cell targets increased their susceptibility to NK-mediated lysis and induced increased secretion of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma by NK cells. Treatment of tumor cells with JAK inhibitors also induced increased susceptibility to NK cell activity. These findings may have important clinical implications and suggest that small molecule inhibitors of tyrosine kinases being developed as therapeutic anti-tumor agents may also have significant immunologic effects in vivo. IM9 cells were transduced with shRNA-encoding vectors and selected with Puromycin. Two vectors were specifically targeting JAK1 (JAK1-1 and JAK1-3) and one vector encoded an irrelevant control shRNA (CTRL-2). Total RNA was obtained from the parental IM9 cell line, the control-shRNA expressing IM9 cells, the JAK1-1-shRNA and JAK1-3-shRNA expressing IM9 cells in 2 separate experiments (Exp1 and Exp2).

A ribosome assembly stress response regulates transcription to maintain proteome homeostasis

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is a complex and energy-demanding process requiring tight coordination of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal protein (RP) production. Alteration of any step in this process may impact growth by leading to proteotoxic stress. Although the transcription factor Hsf1 has emerged as a central regulator of proteostasis, how its activity is coordinated with ribosome biogenesis is unknown. Here we show that arrest of ribosome biogenesis in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae triggers rapid activation of a highly specific stress pathway that coordinately up-regulates Hsf1 target genes and down-regulates RP genes. Activation of Hsf1 target genes requires neo-synthesis of RPs, which accumulate in an insoluble fraction, leading to sequestration of the RP transcriptional activator Ifh1. Our data suggest that levels of newly-synthetized RPs, imported into the nucleus but not yet assembled into ribosomes, work to continuously balance Hsf1 and Ifh1 activity, thus guarding against proteotoxic stress during ribosome assembly.

Topical application of temperature sensitive gel containing caerin 1.1 and 1.9 peptides on TC-1 tumour bearing mice modulates heterogeneity of macrophage and dendritic cell in the tumour microenvironment

Project description:In this study, we demonstrate that, the topical application of a temperature-sensitive gel containing caerin 1.1 and 1.9 peptides significantly reduces the tumour weight of HPV 16 E6/E7 transformed TC-1 tumour bearing mice via improving the tumour microenvironment (TME) when compared with untreated tumour or a control peptide-containing gel. We use single cell transcriptomics and TMT10 plex-labelling proteomics to quantify changes in cellular activity across different cell types within the TME. We show that caerin 1.1/1.9 gel increased immune activating macrophages, modulated the heterogeneity of NK and dendritic cells to be more pro-inflammatory, and increased numbers of activated CD8+ T cells. Proteomic profiling demonstrated higher innate immune responses, especially the positive regulations of interferon-alpha/beta secretion and response to cytokine stimulus in the caerin gel groups. Further, computational integration of the proteome with the single cell transcriptome consistently suggested more activated T cells and NK cells with the treatment of caerin peptide gel.

Phase I-II Study of Fluorouracil in Combination With Phenylbutyrate in Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interferon-gamma may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Combining more than one drug with interferon-gamma may kill more tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving fluorouracil together with phenylbutyrate, indomethacin, and interferon-gamma and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IV colorectal cancer
