Multi-omics analyses of changes in the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma following neoadjuvant treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody

ABSTRACT: Successful pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) immunotherapy necessitates optimization and maintenance of activated effector T cells (Teffs). We prospectively collected and applied multi-omics analysis to paired, pre- and post-treatment PDAC specimens collected in a platform neoadjuvant study of GVAX vaccine +/- nivolumab (anti-PD-1) to uncover sensitivity and resistance mechanisms. We show that GVAX-induced tertiary lymphoid aggregates become immune-regulatory sites in response to GVAX+nivolumab. Higher densities of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) following GVAX+nivolumab portend poorer overall survival (OS). Increased T cells expressing CD137 associated with cytotoxic Teff signatures and correlated with increased OS. Bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing found that nivolumab alters CD4+ T cell chemotaxis signaling in association with CD11b+ neutrophil degranulation, and CD8+ T cell expression of CD137 required for optimal T cell activation. These findings provide new insights into PD-1-regulated immune pathways in PDAC that should inform more effective therapeutic combinations that include TAN regulators and T cell activators.

Tissue-specific reprogramming leads to angiogenic neutrophil specialization and tumor vascularization in colorectal cancer

Project description:Polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) tissue accumulation is an established feature of ulcerative colitis (UC) lesions and colorectal cancer (CRC). Given the emerging evidence of PMN phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, we analyzed the transcriptomic landscape of PMNs in blood and tissue during the spatiotemporal transition from inflammatory ulceration to CRC. Based on their transcriptional programs, PMNs were effectively stratified into distinct spatial compartments of peripheral blood, inflamed colon tissue, and the tumor niche. In silico pathway overrepresentation analysis, protein-network mapping, gene signature identification, and gene-ontology scoring revealed unique enrichment of angiogenic and vasculature development pathways in tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs). Functional studies utilizing ex vivo cultures, colitis-induced murine CRC, and patient-derived xenograft models demonstrated a critical role for TANs in promoting tumor vascularization. Spp1 (OPN) and Mmp14 (MT1-MMP) were identified by unbiased -omics and by mechanistic studies to be highly induced in TANs and function to critically regulate endothelial cell chemotaxis and branched network formation. TCGA dataset and clinical specimens confirmed enrichment of SPP1 and MMP14 in high-grade CRC but not in UC patients. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of TAN trafficking or MMP14 activity effectively reduced tumor vascular density, leading to CRC regression. The current study identified a niche-directed PMN transcriptional reprograming and functional specialization, highlighting emerging PMN plasticity. Our findings define new TAN contributions to tumor vascularization, delineating a new therapeutic framework for CRC treatment focused on TAN angiogenic properties.

Expression profiling of lung neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leucocytes and constitute an essential component of innate immunity. Although their role in cancer development is still poorly defined, pro- or anti-tumor properties have been attributed to tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), suggesting major functional diversities. In this study, we focused on the mechanisms involved in neutrophil accumulation within the lung tumor mass. We first identified G-CSF as an inducer of the high-affinity glucose transporter Glut1 in neutrophils, increasing their survival ex vivo. In a genetically engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma, we report that TANs have an increased Glut1 expression and glucose metabolism compared to normal neutrophils. To elucidate the impact of glucose uptake on TANs, we used an in vivo strategy based on two recombinases, Flp to initiate lung tumors, and Cre to delete Glut1 specifically in neutrophils. We demonstrate that the loss of Glut1 decreases the SiglecFhigh TAN subpopulation by accelerating neutrophil turnover in tumors through reduced survival and augmented recruitment. Accelerated TAN turnover led to a decreased tumor growth and synergized with radiotherapy. Altogether, our results demonstrate the importance of Glut1 for neutrophil turnover, which directly affects the pro- versus anti-tumor balance within the tumor. These results also suggest that metabolic vulnerabilities can be exploited to target tumor-supportive neutrophil populations.

KDM6A loss recruits tumor-associated neutrophils and promotes neutrophil extracellular trap formation via the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, how KDM6A loss impacts PDAC tumor immune microenvironment is not known. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor microenvironment contribute to PDAC progression. This study used genetically engineered pancreas-specific Kdm6a-knockout PDAC mouse model and human PDAC tissue samples to demonstrate that KDM6A loss correlates with increased TANs and NETs formation. Genome-wide Bru-seq analysis showed that the expression of many chemotactic cytokines, especially CXC motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), were upregulated in KDM6A-knockout PDAC cells. We confirmed that KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells secreted higher levels of CXCL1 protein, which in turn recruits neutrophils. Furthermore, the CXCL1 neutralizing antibody blocked the chemotactic and NETs-promoting property of KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells and tumor growth in a syngeneic orthotopic xenograft mouse model, confirming that CXCL1 was the main mediator of chemotaxis and PDAC growth in this model. These findings shed light on how KDM6A regulates tumor immune microenvironment and PDAC progression and suggest that the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis may be a candidate target for treating PDACs with KDM6A loss.

Expression data in human renal cell carcinoma samples from patients who did or did not respond to anti-PD-1 (Nivolumab) immunotherapy

Project description:Pre-treatment tumor expression of PD-L1 has been shown to correlate with favorable clinical outcomes following PD-1 blocking therapies. However, the majority of patients with PD-L1+ tumors do not respond to treatment. With the goal of obtaining insights into the mechanisms underlying the response to anti-PD-1 targeted therapies in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with positive tumor expression of PD-L1, microarray expression data was obtained for pre-treatment tumors from patients with RCC who did or did not have a positive response to anti-PD-1 (nivolumab) therapy. Insight into these mechanisms may lead to improved rationally designed therapies, and biomarkers for selecting patients who are more likely to benefit from these treatments. Gene expression profiling was performed on total RNA extracted from 11 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) RCC specimens, 4 of which were from patients who had a positive response (objective tumor regression) to the anti-PD-1 (nivolumab) immunotherapy, and 7 of which were from patients who did not have a response. Details of the design, and the gene signatures found are given in the paper associated with this GEO Series: Maria Libera Ascierto, Tracee L. McMiller, Alan E. Berger, Ludmila Danilova, Robert A.

Gene expression patterns of tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells according to the CD137 expression in human metastatic ovarian cancer

Project description:We report the differences of gene expression pattern of tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells between CD137 expressing cells and CD137 non-expressing cells in human metastatic ovarian cancer. Samples are obtained from 3 ovarian cancer patients, and we sorted CD137 expressing cells and CD137 non-expressing cells in CD39 expressing CD8 T cells for RNA sequencing. We found that even though the CD39 expression and PD-1 expression levels are similar, CD137 expressing cells showed more activated and less exhausted phenotypes than CD137 non-expressing cells.
