HiTIMED: hierarchical tumor immune microenvironment epigenetic deconvolution for accurate cell type resolution in the tumor microenvironment using tumor‑type‑specific DNA methylation data

ABSTRACT: The solid tumor microenvironment is heterogeneous and varies in composition by tumor type. High-resolution profiling of the cell composition in tumor microenvironments is crucial to understanding its biological role and function in clinical outcomes. Previously, gene expression and DNA methylation-based deconvolution approaches for tumor microenvironment have succeeded in deconvolving major cell types. However, existing methods lack accuracy and specificity to tumor type and include a limited amount of cell types. We developed a novel DNA methylation-based algorithm, HiTIMED, to estimate cell proportions in tumor microenvironments with a high resolution. HiTIMED employs a tumor-site-specific hierarchical model to enhance the accuracy of the predictions. Seventeen cell types, three major tumor microenvironment components (tumor, immune, angiogenic), and twenty carcinoma types can be profiled by HiTIMED. We demonstrated prognostic significance of HiTIMED cell types that other methods in the tumor microenvironment deconvolution were not capturing. The high resolution of HiTIMED deconvolution provides additional opportunities to study the impact of the tumor microenvironment on clinically significant outcomes like immunotherapy response.

Single cell profiling of cerebral immune cells in the Interleukin-33 (IL-33) driven tumor microenvironment

Project description:IL33 is a dual function cytokine which acts as a major orchestrator of the brain tumor microenvironment that contributes to tumorigenesis. We found that IL33 is expressed in a large subset of human glioma patient specimens and murine glioma models and that its expression is directly associated with the increased presence of tumor associated macrophages/monocytes/microglia. We analyzed the differences in the IL-33+ and IL-33- innate immune microenvironments at a single cell resolution and found substantial differences in the immune populations present and gene expression changes which may contribute to the increased tumoirgenicity of IL-33+ tumors.

Simultaneous selection of nanobodies for immune epitopes in the complex tumor microenvironment

Project description:In the rapidly advancing field of synthetic biology, there is a critical need for technology to discover targeting moieties for therapeutic biologics. We developed INSPIRE-seq, an approach that utilizes a nanobody library and next-generation sequencing to identify nanobodies selected for complex environments. INSPIRE-seq enables the parallel enrichment of immune cell-binding nanobodies that penetrate the tumor microenvironment. Clone enrichment and specificity varies across immune cell subtypes in the tumor, lymph node, and spleen. INSPIRE-seq identified a dendritic cell binding clone that binds PHB2. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed a connection with cDC1s, and immunofluorescence confirmed nanobody-PHB2 colocalization along cell membranes. Structural modeling and docking studies assisted binding predictions and will guide nanobody selection. In this work, we demonstrate that INSPIRE-seq offers an unbiased approach to examine complex microenvironments and assist in the development of nanobodies, which could serve as active drugs, modified to become drugs, or used as targeting moieties.

LiX2019 - macrophage polarization and tumor cell plasticity

Project description:This model is based on: Computational Modeling of the Crosstalk Between Macrophage Polarization and Tumor Cell Plasticity in the Tumor Microenvironment. Abstract: Tumor microenvironments contain multiple cell types interacting among one another via different signaling pathways. Furthermore, both cancer cells and different immune cells can display phenotypic plasticity in response to these communicating signals, thereby leading to complex spatiotemporal patterns that can impact therapeutic response. Here, we investigate the crosstalk between cancer cells and macrophages in a tumor microenvironment through in silico (computational) co-culture models. In particular, we investigate how macrophages of different polarization (M1 vs. M2) can interact with epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity of cancer cells, and conversely, how cancer cells exhibiting different phenotypes (epithelial vs. mesenchymal) can influence the polarization of macrophages. Based on interactions documented in the literature, an interaction network of cancer cells and macrophages is constructed. The steady states of the network are then analyzed. Various interactions were removed or added into the constructed-network to test the functions of those interactions. Also, parameters in the mathematical models were varied to explore their effects on the steady states of the network. In general, the interactions between cancer cells and macrophages can give rise to multiple stable steady-states for a given set of parameters and each steady state is stable against perturbations. Importantly, we show that the system can often reach one type of stable steady states where cancer cells go extinct. Our results may help inform efficient therapeutic strategies.

Intra-tumoral activation of endosomal TLR pathways reveals a distinct role for TLR3 agonist dependent type-1 interferons in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment

Project description:Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists have received considerable attention as therapeutic targets for cancer immunotherapy owing to their ability to convert immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments towards a more T-cell inflamed phenotype. However, TLRs differ in their cell expression profiles and intracellular signaling pathways, raising the possibility that distinct TLRs differentially influence the tumor immune microenvironment.

Pericyte sGC signaling dictates tumor vessel formation and tumor microenvironment

Project description:Pericytes and endothelial cells (ECs) are building blocks of blood vessels. While the contributions of ECs to tumor angiogenesis and the tumor microenvironment are well established and multiple drugs that targeting ECs have been developed for clinic use to treat cancers, the underlying mechanisms of pericyte in supporting tumor vessel and in shaping tumor microenvironment remains largely unexplored and no pericyte targeting strategies have been approved yet. This study employs targeted deletion of the NO receptor sGC in pericytes and utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing to elucidate its impact on the tumor microenvironment. The results unveil a disruptive effect on EC-pericyte interactions, subsequently impeding Notch-mediated intercellular crosstalk and prompting extensive transcriptomic reprogramming in both cell types. This vascular alteration further relays to neighboring cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) through paracrine signaling, collectively suppressing tumor growth. Importantly, the inhibition of pericyte sGC has limited influence on quiescent vessels but significantly sensitizes angiogenic vessels to anti-angiogenic treatment. In conclusion, this study underscores the vital role of pericytes in governing tumor vessels and the tumor microenvironment, suggesting that targeting pericyte sGC holds promise for enhancing anti-angiogenic therapy.

Cancer cell states recur across tumor types and form specific interactions with the tumor microenvironment

Project description:Transcriptional heterogeneity among malignant cells of a tumor has been studied in individual cancer types and shown to be organized into cancer cell states; however, it remains unclear to what extent these states span tumor types, constituting general features of cancer. Here, we perform a pan-cancer single-cell RNA-Seq analysis across 15 cancer types and identify a catalog of gene modules whose expression defines recurrent cancer cell states including ‘stress’, ‘interferon response’, ‘epithelial-mesenchymal transition’, ‘metal response’, ‘basal’ and ‘ciliated’. Spatial transcriptomic analysis linked the interferon response in cancer cells to T cells and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. Using mouse models, we further found that induction of the interferon response module varies by tumor location and is diminished upon elimination of lymphocytes. Our work provides a framework for studying how cancer cell states interact with the tumor microenvironment to form organized systems capable of immune evasion, drug resistance, and metastasis.
