SLFN11 captures cancer-immunity interactions associated with platinum sensitivity in high-grade serous ovarian cancer

ABSTRACT: Large independent analyses on cancer cell lines followed by functional studies have identified Schlafen 11 (SLFN11), a putative helicase, as the strongest predictor of sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents (DDA), including platinum. However, its role as a prognostic biomarker is undefined, partially due to the lack of validated methods to score SLFN11 in human tissues. Here, we implemented a pipeline to quantify SLFN11 in human cancer samples. By analyzing a cohort of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) specimens prior platinum-based chemotherapy treatment, we show, for the first time, that SLFN11 density in both the neoplastic and microenvironmental components was independently associated with favorable outcome. We observed SLFN11 expression in both infiltrating innate and adaptive immune cells, and analyses in a second, independent, cohort revealed that SLFN11 is associated with immune activation in HGSOC. We found that platinum treatments activated immune-related pathways in ovarian cancer cells in a SLFN11-dependent manner, representative of tumor-immune transactivation. Moreover, SLFN11 expression was induced in activated, isolated, immune cell subpopulations, hinting that SLFN11 in the immune compartment may be an indicator of immune transactivation. In summary, we propose SLFN11 is a dual biomarker capturing simultaneously interconnected immunological and cancer-cell-intrinsic functional dispositions associated with sensitivity to DDA treatment.

Epigenetic Inactivation of the Putative DNA/RNA Helicase SLFN11 in Human Cancer Confers Resistance to Platinum-derived Drugs

Project description:Platinum-derived drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin are among the most commonly used cancer chemotherapy drugs, but very few specific molecular and cellular markers to predict different sentivity to these agents in a given tumor type have been clearly identified. Because epigenetic gene silencing is increasingly being recognized as a factor in conferring distinct tumoral drug sensitivity, we have used a comprehensive DNA methylation microarray platform to interrogate the widely characterized NCI60 panel of human cancer cell lines according to CpG methylation status and cisplatin/carboplatin sensitivity. Using this approach, we have identified that promoter CpG island hypermethylation-associated silencing of the putative DNA/RNA helicase Schlafen-11 (SLFN11) is associated with increased resistance to platinum-derived compounds. We have also experimentally validated these findings in vitro. In this setting, we were also able to identify the BRCA1 interacting DHX9 RNA helicase (also known as RHA) as a protein partner for SLFN11, suggesting a mechanistic pathway for the observed chemoresistance effect. Most importantly, we were able to extend these findings to the clinical setting where we observed that those patients with ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer carrying SLFN11 hypermethylation showed poor response to cisplatin and carboplatin treatments. Overall, these results identify SLFN11 epigenetic inactivation as a predictor of resistance to platin-derived drugs in human cancer.

Sequential azacitidine and carboplatin can prime high-grade serous ovarian cancer to respond to checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy

Project description:Platinum chemoresistance results in disease recurrence in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Recent advances in the treatment of solid tumours using checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy has not benefited platinum-resistant HGSOC. Epigenetic silencing of genes involved in triggering cell death and apoptosis in HGSOC is known to occur via hypermethylation during development of platinum resistance. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors block methylation from occurring and allow silenced genes to be expressed. In ovarian cancer, DNMT inhibitors alter the epigenome and transcriptome of the tumours, which primarily affected expression of immune reactivation pathways. We aimed to determine the epigenome and transcriptome response to sequential treatment of HGSOC cells with DNMTi followed by standard-of-care carboplatin.

Epigenetic regulation of the homeobox gene MSX1 associates with platinum resistant disease in high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer

Project description:Introduction: Although High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) is considered a chemo-responsive disease, a proportion of patients do not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy at presentation or have progression-free survival of <6 months. Validated biomarkers of lack of response would enable alternative treatment stratification for these patients and identify novel mechanisms of resistance. Methods: Differential DNA methylation was investigated in independent tumour sets using Illumina 27K HumanMethylation arrays and validated by bisulphite pyrosequencing. Gene expression was by Affymetrix arrays and qRT-PCR. The role of Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) in drug sensitivity was investigated by gene reintroduction into ovarian cancer cell lines. Results: CpG sites at contiguous genomic locations within the MSX1 gene have significantly lower levels of methylation in HGSOC which recur by 6 months compared to after 12 months and/or with RECIST response (p<0.05, q<0.05). A decrease in methylation at these intragenic CpG sites was significantly correlated with decreased MSX1 gene expression. Low expression of MSX1 was associated with poor progression-free survival independent of known clinical prognostic features (p=0.014). Three mutant or wild-type TP53 expressing ovarian cancer cell lines, resistant to cisplatin, have reduced MSX1 expression compared to matched parental, platinum sensitive, lines. Re-expression of MSX1 in resistant lines led to cisplatin sensitisation, increased apoptosis, increased p21 and BAX expression. However, in two TP53-null cell lines, MSX1 failed to change cisplatin sensitivity. Conclusion: Hypomethylation of MSX1 is a biomarker of resistant HGSOC disease at presentation and identifies a novel mechanism of platinum drug resistance. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 86 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2

FAK activity sustains intrinsic and acquired ovarian cancer resistance to platinum chemotherapy [KMF parental, KMF clone KT13 (FAK-/-), KT13 + GFP-FAK, KT13 + GFP-FAK R454, and KT13 + deltaGSK beta-catenin]

Project description:Gene copy number changes, cancer stem cell (CSC) increases, and platinum chemotherapy resistance contribute to poor prognosis in patients with recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). CSC phenotypes involving Wnt-b-catenin and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities, platinum resistance, and tumor initiating frequency are here associated with spontaneous genetic gains, including genes encoding KRAS, MYC and FAK, in a new murine model of ovarian cancer (KMF). Noncanonical FAK signaling was sufficient to sustain human and KMF tumorsphere proliferation, CSC survival, and platinum resistance. Increased FAK tyrosine phosphorylation occurred in HGSOC patient tumors surviving neo-adjuvant platinum and paclitaxel chemotherapy and platinum resistant tumorspheres acquired FAK dependence for growth. Importantly, combining a pharmacologic FAK inhibitor with platinum overcame chemoresistance and triggered apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Knockout, rescue, genomic and transcriptomic analyses collectively identified more than 400 genes regulated along a FAK/b-catenin/Myc axis impacting stemness and DNA repair in HGSOC, with 66 genes gained in a majority of Cancer Genome Atlas samples. Together, these results support combinatorial testing of FAK inhibitors for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.

Longitudinal single-cell RNA-seq data of metastatic ovarian cancer

Project description:We characterized transcriptional patterns of chemotherapy resistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) using patient-derived prospective tissue sample pairs before and after treatment at single-cell resolution. Our cohort consists of scRNA-seq data from treatment-naïve and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (post-NACT) pairs from 11 homogeneously treated HGSOC patients. After quality control, we obtained 51,786 cells, including 8,806 malignant epithelial (tumor), 8,045 stromal and 34,935 immune cells. Our unbiased analysis reveals how chemotherapy modulates cancer cell states by both subclonal selection and microenvironment boosted transcriptional induction across the homogeneously treated sample cohort. Our results define a cell state that allows biomarker-based prediction and targeting of chemoresistance.

SLFN11 is widely expressed in pediatric sarcoma and induces variable sensitization to 1 replicative stress caused by DNA damaging agents

Project description:Schlafen family member 11 (SLFN11) increases sensitivity to replicative stress and has been proposed as a biomarker to predict sensitivity to DNA damaging agents (DDA). However, the role of SLFN11 in pediatric cancer has not been well explored. In this study, we found that protein expression strongly correlated with response to the PARP inhibitor talazoparib and the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan in sarcoma cell lines, with SLFN11 knockout resulting in significant loss of sensitivity in vitro and in vivo. However, in contrast to its activity in adult tumors, high SLFN11 expression did not correlate with favorable outcome in a retrospective study of children with sarcoma. Our work suggests that the potential of SLFN11 to act as a biomarker may be limited to certain tumor backgrounds or contexts, and that impaired apoptotic response may be one targetable mechanism of resistance to DDA-induced replicative stress
