Myeloid MyD88 restricts CD8+ T cell response to radiation therapy in pancreatic cancer [sequencing]

ABSTRACT: Radiation therapy induces immunogenic cell death in cancer cells, whereby apoptotic cells release endogenous adjuvants that are sensed by immune cells to direct adaptive immune responses. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed on several immune subtypes recognize these products to direct downstream responses in part via the adapter protein MyD88. Here we use lineage specific deletion of Myd88 to interrogate its contribution to the immune response to radiation therapy in distinct immune populations in pancreatic cancer. While Myd88 deletion in Itgax- and Lck-expressing immune populations had little discernable effects on response to radiation therapy, Lyz2-specific loss of Myd88 rendered tumors more susceptible to radiation therapy dependent on CD8+ T cells. scRNAseq revealed gene signatures in myeloid and dendritic cells indicative of enhanced type I and II interferon responses. Together, these data implicate MyD88 signaling in myeloid cells as a critical source of immunosuppression that hinders adaptive immune tumor control following radiation therapy.

Early responding dendritic cells direct local natural killer response to control HSV-1 infection within the cornea

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. The role of CD11c-plus DCs in the corneal response to to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection was investigated by depleting them prior to infection. Bone marrow cells from CD11c-DTR (C.FVB-Tg(Itgax-DTR/EGFP)57Lan/J) mice were transferred intravenously to irradiated BALB/cJ host mice. After 6 weeks, the bone marrow chimeric host mice were injected with diphtheria toxin (DT) to deplete CD11c-positive cells. Two days after injection, the mice were subjected to a standard corneal infection protocol using HSV-1.

Potentiating radiation-induced T1IFN and the anti-tumoral immune response with the ATM inhibitor AZD1390 in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Radiotherapy induces a Type I interferon (TIFIN)-mediated anti-tumoral immune response that we hypothesized could be potentiated by a first-in-class ATM inhibitor leading to enhanced innate immune signaling. T1IFN expression, and sensitization to immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer. We evaluated the effects of AZD1390 or a structurally related compound AZD0156 on innate immune signaling and found that both inhibitors enhanced radiation-induced T1IFN expression via the POLIII/RIG-I/MAVS pathway. In immunocompetent syngeneic mouse models of pancreatic cancer, ATM inhibitor enhanced radiation-induced anti-tumoral immune responses and sensitized to anti-PD-L1, producing immunogenic memory and durable tumor control. Therapeutic responses were associated with increased CD8+ T cell frequency and effector function. Tumor control was dependent on CD8+ T cells as therapeutic efficacy was blunted in immunodeficient or CD8+ T cell-depleted mice. Adaptive immune responses to combination therapy provided systemic control of contralateral tumors outside of the radiation field. Taken together, we show that a clinical candidate ATM inhibitor enhances radiation-induced T1IFN leading to both innate and subsequent adaptive immune response and sensitization of otherwise resistant pancreatic cancer to immunotherapy.

Fibroblastic reticular cells serve as primary immune checkpoint in visceral adipose tissues and secure peritoneal immunity

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

Proteomic profile of extracellular matrix-based scaffold obtained by culturing a murine spleen stromal cell line

Project description:Lymph nodes are secondary lymphoid tissues that play a critical role in filtering the lymph and supporting adaptive immune responses. Surgical resection of LNs, radiation therapy or infections may damage lymphatic vasculature and compromised immune functions. Here, we describe the generation of functional synthetic lympho-organoids (LOs) using LN stromal progenitors and decellularized extra cellular matrix-based scaffolds. We show that upon transplantation at the site of resected LNs, LOs become integrated into the endogenous lymphatic vasculature and efficiently restore lymphatic drainage and perfusion. Upon immunization, LOs support the activation of antigen-specific immune responses, thus acquiring properties of native lymphoid tissues. These findings provide the first proof-of-concept for the development of synthetic lympho-organoids suitable to restore lymphatic and immune cell functions.

The distinct function and control of regulatory T cell subsets during influenza infection

Project description:During influenza infection, Treg cells in the lung acquire at least 3 discernable phenotypes which can be characterized by the expression of the IL-33 receptor ST2, the Th1 associated chemokine receptor CXCR3 or neither receptor. It is known in the Treg field that Treg cell acquire different phenotypes to more specifically target related immune responses. For example, Th1 like CXCR3 expressing Treg cells are thought to traffic to and specifically suppress adaptive type 1 immune responses. We have found that during influenza infection, ST2+ Treg cells specifically target innate immune responses characterized by IL-1 mediated neutrophil and eosinophil recruitment and the activation of IL17 producing gamma delta T cells. In order to determine how ST2+ Treg cell perform their specific immunomodulatory function, we have performed RNAseq transcriptomic analysis to compare gene expression in ST2+ Tregs isolated from day 7 influenza infected lungs with CXCR3+ Treg cells and Treg cells expressing neither marker also from day 7 of influenza infected lungs as well as compared to total Treg cells from the spleen of uninfected mice.

High Response Rate to Anti PD-1 Therapy in Desmoplastic Melanoma

Project description:<p>Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of melanoma characterized by dense fibrous stroma, resistance to chemotherapy and a lack of actionable driver mutations, but is highly associated with ultraviolet light DNA damage. We analysed 60 patients with advanced DM treated with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) blocking antibody therapy. Objective tumor responses were observed in 42 of the 60 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval 57-81%), including 19 patients (32% overall) with a complete response. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a high mutational load and frequent NF-1 mutations (14 out of 17 cases). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis from 19 DM and 13 non-DM revealed a higher percentage of PD-L1 positive cells in the tumor parenchyma in DM (p = 0.04), highly associated with increased CD8 density and PD-L1 expression in the tumor invasive margin. Therefore, patients with advanced DM derive significant clinical benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy despite being a cancer defined by its dense desmoplastic fibrous stroma. The benefit is likely derived from the high mutational burden and a frequent pre-existing adaptive immune response limited by PD-L1 expression.</p>

Macrophage-mediated abscopal effects of radiation therapy

Project description:Radiation therapy is a mainstay of cancer treatment, with more than 50% of all cancer patients receiving radiation during the course of their disease. Tumor irradiation can activate both innate and adaptive immune responses, and these responses can be pro- or anti-tumor growth . These observations have led to the search for antitumor approaches combining radiotherapy and specific immunotherapies, most commonly strategies promoting the systemic activation of T cells. Thus far, however, many cancer patients still suffer from local recurrence and/or untreatable metastatic disease after radiotherapy. Here we combine radiotherapy with activation of macrophage-mediated phagocytosis via blockade of the ?don?t-eat-me? cell surface molecule CD47 in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), a highly metastatic form of lung cancer for which treatment options remain limited. We found that irradiation of SCLC cells in culture results in the secretion of inflammatory cytokines that results in increased migration and phagocytosis by macrophages. In vivo, CD47 blockade potently enhances the local antitumor effects of radiation therapy in murine and human pre-clinical models of SCLC. Strikingly, CD47 blockade also stimulates abscopal antitumor effects inhibiting the growth of non-irradiated SCLC tumors in mice receiving radiation. Similar abscopal antitumor effects were observed in colon cancer and lymphoma models. Surprisingly, these abscopal effects are completely independent of T cells but require macrophages that migrate into the non-irradiated tumor sites in response to inflammatory signals mediated by radiation and are locally activated by CD47 blockade to eliminate cancer cells. The systemic activation of antitumor macrophages following radiotherapy and CD47 blockade may be particularly important in cancer patients who suffer from metastatic disease.

Transcription profiling of lungs from wild type and MyD88 knockout mice infected with Chlamydia pneumoniae to explore the influence of MyD88 on induction of immune responses.

Project description:Chlamydia pneumoniae, an obligate intracellular bacterium, causes pneumonia in humans and mice. Toll-like receptors and the key adaptor molecule MyD88 play a critical role in inducing immunity against this microorganism and are crucial to survive the infection. To explore the influence of MyD88 on induction of immune responses in vivo on a genome wide level, WT or MyD88-/- mice were infected with C. pneumoniae upon anesthesia and the pulmonary transcriptome was analyzed three days later by microarrays. We find that the infection induced the transcription of 360 genes and repressed 18 genes in WT mice. Of these, 221 genes were not or weakly induced in lungs of MyD88-/- mice. This cluster contains primarily genes encoding for chemokines, cytokines and other immune effector molecules. Genes induced by interferons were abundant in a cluster of 102 genes which were only partially MyD88-dependent. Interestingly, a set of 37 genes were induced more strongly in MyD88-/- mice and most of them are involved in the regulation of cellular replication. In summary, ex vivo analysis of the pulmonary transcriptome upon infection with C. pneumoniae demonstrated a major impact of MyD88 on inflammatory responses but not on interferon-type responses, and identified MyD88-independent genes involved in cellular replication Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis was performed in biological triplicates with RNA from individual mice derived from three independent infection experiments. Samples were lungs from wt and myd88 knock out mice, three days after Chlamydia pneumoniae or mock infection. Altogther 12 samples were analyzed on Affymetrix MOE430A arrays.
