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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of tumor associated neutrophils and control peripheral blood neutrophils in a novel lung squamous cell carcinoma mouse model

Project description:Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) can be conditioned to become “N2” pro-tumorigenic neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment. TANs have been shown to acquire N2 features and promote multiple aspects of tumor growth in mouse models of many cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer. We developed a novel mouse model for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC): Rosa26LSL-Sox2-IRES-GFP;Nkx2-1fl/fl;Lkb1fl/fl (SNL). SNL mice develop tumors with short latency of ~3 months and SNL tumors have high neutrophil infiltration similar to other LSCC mouse models. We employed this novel model and single-cell RNA-sequencing to profile TANs in SNL lung tumors in comparison to peripheral blood neutrophils (PBNs) from tumor-bearing SNL mice.

Tumor-associated neutrophils display a distinct N1 profile following TGFβ modulation: A transcriptomics analysis of pro- vs. antitumor TANs

Project description:It is becoming increasingly clear that tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) play an important role in cancer biology, through direct impact on tumor growth and by recruitment of other cells types into the tumor. The function of neutrophils in cancer has been the subject of seemingly contradicting reports, pointing toward a dual role played by TANs in tumor progression. The existence of multiple neutrophil subsets, as well as phenotypic modulation of the neutrophils by various factors in the tumor microenvironment, has been shown. TGFβ plays a significant role in the determination of neutrophils' phenotype, by shifting the balance from an antitumor (N1) toward a more permissive (N2) phenotype. The full range of mechanisms responsible for the pro- vs. antitumor effects of TANs has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, the ability to identify the different neutrophil subpopulations in the tumor is critical in order to understand TANs evolution and contribution throughout tumor progression. Using a transcriptomic approach, we identified alternations in gene expression profile following TGFβ inhibition. We show that N1 and N2 TANs represent distinct subpopulations with different transcriptional signatures and both differ from naive bone marrow neutrophils. The analysis highlights a clear difference in pathways involved in neutrophil function such as cytoskeletal organization and antigen presentation, as well as alterations in chemokine profile, eventually affecting their effect on tumor cells and tumor growth. These data highlights several potential new pathways and mechanisms by which neutrophils can influence both the tumor cells and the adaptive immune system.

RNA-seq analysis of sorted CD45+CD11b+Ly6G+ cells from C57BL/6 and Traj18-/- CRC samples and healthy controls

Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis of tumor infiltrating neutrophils from C57BL/6 mice and iNKT deficient Traj18-/- mice to understand the role of iNKT cells in affecting phenotype and functions of neutrophils in CRC. We observed that TANs from B6 animals were enriched for transcripts of chemokines and inflammation as well as of immune suppression. These data suggest that iNKT cells condition the phenotype of TANs.

10x Single-cell Sequencing for Smad3 wild-type and knockout neutrophils

Project description:The role of neutrophils in tumor is still controversial and largely unknown. We previously identified an anticancer tumor microenvironment from mice lacking Smad3, but the underlying mechanism is still largely unclear. Interestingly, depletion of neutrophils largely suppressed the anticancer phenotype of Smad3-KO mice against syngeneic murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC). Here, we discovered that Smad3 is essential for promoting N1/N2 polarization of the tumor_x0002_associated neutrophils (TANs) in lung carcinoma. We found that Smad3 deficiency dramatically increased N1 TANs associated with an anticancer phenotype in mice and detected a negative correlation between Smad3 activation and anticancer N1 associated with a higher mortality of NSCLC. By conducting a neutrophil-specific single-cell RNA-sequencing, we uncovered that Smad3 is essential for completing the N1/N2 polarization of TANs, whereas N1 will be the dominated phenotype in the Smad3-KO TME by analyzing the developmental pathways of TANs with pseudo-time at transcriptome level. Mechanistically, direct binding of Smad3 on the developmental genes in neutrophils under cancer condition was evidenced by ChIP-sequencing at genomic level. Importantly, both neutrophil-specific and pharmaceutical inhibition of Smad3 effectively enhanced the anticancer activity of human and murine TANs, thereby suppressing the progression of lung carcinoma in vivo. Thus, Smad3 may represent a precision therapeutic target for enhancing the anticancer activity of TANs via blocking N1/N2 polarization in NSCLC. in C57BL6 (wild-type) and Smad3-deficient (Smad3-/- ) mice and submitted for cell encapsulation and library construction by Chromium controller with 5’ expression kit (10x genomics)

Loss of KDM6A enhances human pancreatic cancer progression and potentiates HDAC inhibitor lethality via restoring CDKN1A

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Although genomic analysis have recently discovered the malignant subtype of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) characterized by frequent mutations of a histone modifier KDM6A, the biological and molecular roles still remain obscure. We herein elucidated the clinical and biological impacts of KDM6A deficiency on human PDAC and identified the therapeutic potential by pathological and molecular evaluation. METHODS: Immunohistochemical analysis of KDM6A was performed in 103 tumor specimens surgically resected from patients with PDAC. Cells knocked out for KDM6A by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and expressing doxycycline-inducible KDM6A were established from each two human PDAC cell lines, respectively. RESULTS: Loss of KDM6A in cancerous tissues was an independent prognostic factor for both recurrence-free and overall survival in the clinical samples. KDM6A knockout enhanced aggressive traits of human PDAC cell lines, whereas KDM6A overexpression suppressed them. Microarray analysis revealed reduced expression of 25 genes including five well-known tumor suppressors, such as CDKN1A, and ChIP-PCR analysis displayed depleted enrichment of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) at the promoter regions of the five candidates. The epigenetic alterations were induced by the impaired recruitment of a histone acetyltransferase p300, which cooperatively interacted with KDM6A. Consistent with these results, the KDM6A knockout cells demonstrated higher vulnerability to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors through the reactivation of CDKN1A in vitro and in vivo than the KDM6A wild-type. CONCLUSIONS: KDM6A exhibited essential roles in human PDAC as a tumor suppressor. KDM6A deficiency could be a promising biomarker for unfavorable outcome in PDAC patients and a potential surrogate marker for response to HDAC inhibitors.

Expression profiling of CD45- lung tumor cells

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.

Gene expression profiling of sarcoma T cells deriving from Csf3r WT and KO mice

Project description:Recently, tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) are considered as an important component of the tumor microenvironment. Here, we show that a specific genetic deficiency of neutrophils induced accelerated mesenchymal carcinogenesis associated with a deficient production of IFN-γ in the tumor microenvironment. Unexpectedly, increased susceptibility to cancer of neutropenic mice was associated with impaired type 1 polarization of unconventional T cell (UTC) subsets, namely mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and double CD4 and CD8 negative TCRβ+ T (DNT) cells, resulting in reduced expression of T-bet and IFN-γ and increased expression of Rorγt and IL-17A. Here, we uncovered a new mechanism by which neutrophils induced an IL-12-dependent type 1 polarization of MAIT and DNT cells characterized by the upregulation of T-bet expression. Therefore, a systemic reconstitution of Csf3r-/- mice with functional naïve neutrophils was sufficient to restore UTCs activation state and to slow down sarcoma growth. Finally, in patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, TAN infiltration signature was associated with better overall survival and increased expression of IFN-γ and type 1 inflammatory response signature.

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

Project description: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.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps induced by chemotherapy inhibit tumor growth in vivo

Project description:Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs), a web-like structure of cytosolic and granule proteins assembled on decondensed chromatin, kill pathogens and causes tissue damage in diseases. Whether NETs can kill cancer cells is unexplored. Here, we report that a combination of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 and 5-FU inhibits the growth of PIK3CA mutant colorectal cancers (CRCs) in xenograft, syngeneic, and genetically engineered mouse models in part through NETs. Disruption of NETs by either DNase I treatment or depletion of neutrophils in CRCs attenuated the efficacy of the drug combination. Moreover, NETs were present in tumor biopsies taken from patients treated with the drug combination in a phase II clinical trial. Increased NET levels in tumors are associated with longer progression-free survival. Mechanistically, the drug combination induced the expression of IL-8 preferentially in PIK3CA mutant CRCs to attract neutrophils into the tumors. Further, the drug combination increased the levels of reactive oxygen species in neutrophils, thereby inducing NETs. Cathepsin G (CTSG), a serine protease localized in NETs, enters CRC cells through the RAGE cell surface protein. The internalized CTSG cleaves 14-3-3 proteins, releases Bax, and triggers apoptosis in CRC cells. Thus, our studies illuminate a previously unrecognized mechanism by which chemotherapy-induced NETs kill cancer cells.
