In vivo CRISPR screens reveals SerpinB9 and Adam2 as regulators of immune therapy in lung cancer

ABSTRACT: We established a direct in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing methodology that allowed us to assess the immune-modulatory capabilities of 573 putative cancer genes associated with altered activity in mouse model of lung cancer. Using mouse models of of KrasG12D- and BrafV600E-driven lung cancer, we identified Serpinb9 as our top suppressive and Adam2 as our top enhancing gene. RNA seq analysis from tumors overexpressing Adam2 revealed that Adam2’s oncogenic function is dependent on modulating the tumor immune microenvironment by restraining productive type I and type II interferon responses as well as cytokine signaling, reducing presentation of tumor associated antigen, and modulating surface expression of several immunoregulatory receptors within Kras-driven lung tumors. Adam2 overexpression also led to reduction in expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-L1, Lag3, Tigit, and Tim3.This less exhausted tumor microenvironment further induced enhanced cytotoxic efficacy against Adam2 overexpressing lung tumors, in vitro and in vivo. Together, our study highlights the power of integrating cancer genomic with in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 screens to uncover how cancer-associated genetic alterations control responses to immunotherapies.

Multiome analysis (ATAC + Gene Expression (GEX)) of SUN1 knockout and control CT26 tumors grown in syngeneic mouse model

Project description:T cell infiltration is essential for immune checkpoint inhibitors to be effective in treating solid cancers. Through a bioinformatic pipeline, we identified a target gene SUN1 that might relate to modulating immune cell infiltration and immune response. Thus, we generated one Sun1_knockout CT26 cell line (Sun1_KO) using CRISPR-Cas9. By performing multiome single nuclei sequencing using tumors grown in syngeneic model, we set out to understand how mouse Sun1 can affect the regulatory network in tumor cells in vivo.

Spatially variant immune infiltration scoring in human cancer tissues

Project description:The Immunoscore is a method to quantify the immune cell infiltration within cancers to predict the disease prognosis. Previous immune profiling approaches relied on limited immune markers to establish patients’ tumor immunity. However, immune cells exhibit a higher-level complexity that is typically not obtained by the conventional immunohistochemistry methods. Herein, we present a spatially variant immune infiltration score, termed as SpatialVizScore, to quantify immune cells infiltration within lung tumor samples using multiplex protein imaging data. Imaging mass cytometry (IMC) was used to target 26 markers in tumors to identify stromal, immune, and cancer cell states within 26 human tissues from lung cancer patients. Unsupervised clustering methods dissected the spatial infiltration of cells in tissue using the high-dimensional analysis of 16 immune markers and other cancer and stroma enriched labels to profile alterations in the tumors’ immune infiltration patterns. Spatially resolved maps of distinct tumors determined the spatial proximity and neighborhoods of immune-cancer cell pairs. These SpatialVizScore maps provided a ranking of patients’ tumors consisting of immune inflamed, immune suppressed, and immune cold states, demonstrating the tumor’s immune continuum assigned to three distinct infiltration score ranges. Several inflammatory and suppressive immune markers were used to establish the cell-based scoring schemes at the single-cell and pixel-level, depicting the cellular spectra in diverse lung tissues. Thus, SpatialVizScore is an emerging quantitative method to deeply study tumor immunology in cancer tissues.

In vivo CRISPR screens identify dual function of MEN1 in regulating tumor-microenvironment interactions [A549 RNA-seq]

Project description:In this study, we used a targeted CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify genes that determine growth of A549 cells in vivo and in vitro. Functional genomic screens in 2D cell culture are of limited use for identifying therapeutic targets that modulate tumor cell-microenvironment cell interactions. By comparing targeted CRISPR-Cas9 screens in 2D culture of A549 lung cancer cells versus xenografts derived from the same cell line, we identified MEN1 as the top hit that confers differential effects in vitro and in vivo. Knockout of MEN1 in multiple solid cancer types does not impact cell proliferation in vitro, but significantly promotes or inhibits tumor growth in immunodeficient or immunocompetent mice, respectively. Mechanistically, knockout of MEN1 leads to increased chromatin interaction of its interaction partner MLL1 (KMT2A), a histone methyltransferase, to repetitive genomic regions, where it activates expression of double-stranded RNA. This results in MARV and cGAS-STING dependent activation of viral mimicry response, which induces infiltration of neutrophils and CD8+ T cells in immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice respectively. Consistently, multiple immune cell infiltrations are negatively correlated with MEN1 abundance and positively correlated with that of MLL1 in patient tumors of a broad range of cancer types. Pharmacological inhibition of MEN1-MLL interaction reduces tumor growth in CD8+ T cell dependent manner, with enhanced activity in combination with anti-PD-1 treatment. These findings reveal tumor microenvironment dependent oncogenic and tumor suppressive functions of MEN1 and provide rationale for therapeutic targeting of MEN1 alone or in combination with immunotherapy in multiple solid cancer types.

The immunopeptidome landscape associated with T cell infiltration, inflammation and immune-editing in lung cancer

Project description:One key barrier to improving efficacy of personalized cancer immunotherapies that are dependent on the tumor antigenic landscape remains patient stratification. While patients with CD3+CD8+ T cell inflamed tumors typically show better response to immune checkpoint inhibitors, it is still unknown if the repertoire of HLA bound peptides presented in highly inflamed and non-inflamed tumors is substantially different. We surveyed 61 tumor regions and adjacent non-malignant lung tissues from eight lung cancer patients and performed deep antigen discovery combining immunopeptidomics, genomics, bulk and spatial transcriptomics and explored the heterogeneous expression and presentation of tumor (neo)antigens. Here we associated diverse immune cell populations with the immunopeptidome in CD3+CD8+ T cell excluded, infiltrated, highly- and lowly-inflamed tumors. We found evidence for lower immune-editing and higher presentation efficiency of tumor-associated antigens in lowly-inflamed and CD3+CD8+ T cell excluded tumors. This could have implications for the choice of combination therapies tailored to the patient’s mutanome and microenvironment.

In vitro and in vivo epigenome-wide CRISPR screens in mouse KrasG12D/P53-/- (KP) lung adenocarcinoma model

Project description:To systematically study the functions of epigenetic genes in controlling tumor progression and regulating anti-tumor immunity, we performed a series of in vitro and in vivo epigenome-wide CRISPR screens in mouse KP lung adenocarcinoma model. We constructed an epigenetic-focused sgRNA library, established KP-Cas9-library pools, and then performed in vitro and in vivo CRISPR screens. For in vitro screens, we compared the cell pools harvested at week 4 with the cells pools harvested at week 2 to check the functions of epigenetic genes in tumor cell proliferation. For in vivo screens, we compared the IgG treated tumors in Rag1-/- mice or WT mice with the input cell pool to check the functions of epigenetic genes in tumor growth; we compared the IgG treated tumors in WT mice with the IgG treated tumors in Rag1-/- mice to check the functions of epigenetic genes in regulating anti-tumor immunity; we compared the anti-PD-1 treated tumors in WT mice with IgG treated tumors in WT mice to check the functions of epigenetic genes in modulating sensitivity to anti-PD-1 treatment.

SMARCAL1 is a dual regulator of innate immune signaling and PD-L1 expression that promotes tumor immune evasion

Project description:Although genomic instability can trigger cancer-intrinsic innate immune responses that promote tumor rejection, cancer cells often evade these responses by overexpressing immune checkpoint regulators, such as PD-L1. Here, we identify the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favors tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. Mechanistically, SMARCAL1 relieves endogenous DNA damage and suppresses cGAS-STING-dependent immune signaling during cancer cell growth. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the AP-1 family member JUN to maintain chromatin accessibility at a transcriptional regulatory element in the PD-L1 gene, thereby promoting PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. Loss of SMARCAL1 enhances anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes tumors to immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse melanoma model. Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a valuable target for cancer immunotherapy.
