Immune Escape after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Pediatric Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is curative for high-risk pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML), disease relapse remains the primary cause of post-transplant mortality. To identify pressures imposed by allo-HCT on AML cells that escape the graft-versus-leukemia effect, we evaluated immune signatures in bone marrow samples from four pediatric patients using a multimodal single-cell approach. Downregulation of MHC class II (MHC-II) expression observed at post-transplant relapse was most profound in progenitor-like blasts and was accompanied by correlative changes in transcriptional regulation. Dysfunction of activated NK cells and CD8+ T cell subsets at the time of relapse was evidenced by the loss of IFN-γ response, TNF-a signaling via NF-kB, and IL-2/STAT5 signaling. Clonotype analysis of post-transplant relapse samples revealed expansion of dysfunctional T cells and enrichment of T regulatory and T helper cells. Using novel computational methods, our results illustrate a diverse immune-related transcriptional signature in post-transplantation relapses not previously reported in pediatric AML.

Murine Allogeneic CAR-T Cells Integrated Before or Early After Posttransplant Cyclophosphamide Exert Anti-Tumor Effects

Project description:The direct integration of chimeric-antigen-receptor (CAR) T cell with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) carries the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) induction by allogeneic CAR-T cells. Based on our past experiments, it has been shown that post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) prevents GVHD induction by other cell infusions after T-cell-replete MHC-haploidentical murine allo-HCT models. In this study, we investigated whether CAR-T cells, given in a similar manner in the same MHC-haploidentical murine allo-HCT model, could safely exert anti-tumor effects. We showed that anti-CD19 CAR-T cells administered early after (day +5 of transplant) or prior to (day 0 of transplant) PTCy for allo-HCT cleared leukemia without toxicity or GVHD exacerbation. Using next generation single-cell RNA sequencing approaches, we demonstrated that in comparison to CAR-T cells infused early after PTCy (day +5), CAR-T cells infused prior to PTCy (day 0) exhibited transcriptional changes consistent with increased CD4+ T-cell activation and CD8+ T-cell cytotoxicity.

Sorafenib promotes graft-versus-leukemia activity in mice and humans through IL-15 production in FLT3-ITD mutant leukemia cells

Project description:Patients relapsing with FLT3-ITD mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) have a one-year-survival below 20%. We observed that sorafenib increased IL-15 production by FLT3-ITD+-leukemia cells, which synergized with the allogeneic CD8+T-cell response, leading to long-term survival in murine and humanized FLT3-ITD+AML models. Using IL-15 deficiency in recipient tissues or leukemia cells, IL-15 production upon sorafenib-treatment could be attributed to leukemia cells. Sorafenib treatment-related IL-15 production caused an increase in CD8+CD107a+IFN-γ+ T-cells with features of longevity (Bcl-2high/reduced PD-1-levels), which eradicated leukemia in secondary recipients. Mechanistically, sorafenib reduced ATF4 expression, thereby blocking negative regulation of IRF7-activation, which enhances IL-15 transcription. Consistent with the mouse data, IL-15 and pIRF7 levels increased in leukemic blasts of FLT3-ITD+AML patients upon sorafenib treatment. Analysis of 130 patients with FLT3-ITD-mutant AML relapsing after allo-HCT showed the highest complete remission-rate and median overall-survival-rate in the sorafenib/donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) group compared to all other groups (chemotherapy, chemotherapy/DLI, sorafenib alone). Our findings indicate that the synergism of DLI and sorafenib is mediated via reduced ATF4 expression, causing activation of the pIRF7/IL-15-axis in leukemia cells. The sorafenib/DLI strategy therefore has the potential for an immune-mediated cure of FLT3-ITD-mutant AML- relapse, an otherwise fatal complication after allo-HCT.

Allogeneic antibodies specifically target AML antigen NuSAP1 after bone marrow transplantation

Project description:Identifying the targets of immune response after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) promises to provide relevant immune therapy candidate proteins. We used protein microarrays to serologically identify Nucleolar and Spindle Associated Protein 1 (NuSAP1) and Chromatin Assembly Factor 1, subunit B (p60) [CHAF1b] as targets of new antibody responses that developed after allogeneic HCT. Western blots and ELISA validated their post-HCT recognition and enabled ELISA testing of 120 other allo-HCT patients. CHAF1b specific antibodies were predominantly detected in AML patients whereas NuSAP1 specific antibodies were exclusively detected in AML patients one year post-transplant (p<0.0001). Complete genomic exon sequencing failed to identify a nonsynonymous SNP for NuSAP1 and CHAF1b between the donor and recipient cells. Expression profiles and RT-PCR showed NuSAP1 was predominately expressed in the bone marrow CD34+CD90+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), leukemic cell lines and B lymphoblasts as compared to other tissues or cells. Thus, NuSAP1 is recognized as an immunogenic antigen in 65% AML patients and suggests a tumor antigen role. In conclusion, clinically important tumor antigens can be identified as new antibody targets after allogeneic HCT using high density protein microarrays

Expansion, persistence and efficacy of donor memory-like NK cells for the treatment of post-transplant relapse

Project description:Relapse of AML occurs in up to 50% of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) and heralds an extremely poor prognosis. Cytokine induced memory-like (CIML) human NK cells have enhanced ability to recognize and kill leukemia targets. We initiated a phase I trial of CIML NK cells to treat patients with relapsed myeloid malignancies after haplo-HCT (NCT04024761). Transcriptional profiling analysis by scRNAseq were used to characterize the immunophenotypes of infused NK cells post cell adoptive transfer and as well as their interactions with tumor cells.

Single-cell analysis reveals altered tumor microenvironments of relapse- and remission-associated pediatric acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) bone marrow (BM) samples from diagnosis (Dx), end of induction (EOI), and relapse timepoints were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Analysis of matched Dx, EOI scRNA-seq datasets and TARGET AML RNA-seq datasets revealed a novel AML blasts-associated 7-gene signature (CLEC11A, PRAME, AZU1, NREP, ARMH1, C1QBP, TRH) that was validated in two independent datasets. Distinct clusters of relapse- and continuous complete remission (CCR)-associated AML-blasts were observed at Dx, with differential expression of genes associated with survival. At Dx, relapse-associated samples had more exhausted T cells while CCR-associated samples had more inflammatory M1 macrophages. Post-therapy EOI residual blasts overexpressed fatty acid oxidation, tumor growth, and stemness genes. Also, a post-therapy T-cells cluster present in relapse-associated samples exhibited downregulation of MHC Class I and T-cell regulatory genes. Altogether, this study deeply characterizes pediatric AML relapse- and CCR-associated samples to provide novel insights into BM microenvironment landscape.

Inhibition of the CtBP complex and FBXO11 enhances MHC class II expression and anti-cancer immune responses [CUT&TAG]

Project description:There is increasing recognition of the prognostic significance of tumor cell major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression in anti-cancer immunity. Relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) has recently been linked to MHC class II silencing in leukemic blasts; however, the regulation of MHC class II expression remains incompletely understood. Utilizing unbiased CRISPR-Cas9 screens, we identify that the C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) complex transcriptionally represses MHC class II pathway genes, while the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex component FBXO11 mediates degradation of CIITA, the principal transcription factor regulating MHC class II expression. Targeting these repressive mechanisms selectively induces MHC class II upregulation across a range of AML cell lines. Functionally, MHC class II+ leukemic blasts stimulate antigen-dependent CD4+ T cell activation and potent anti-tumor immune responses, providing fundamental insights into the graft-versus-leukemia effect. These findings establish the rationale for therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring tumor-specific MHC class II expression to salvage AML relapse post-alloSCT and also potentially to enhance immunotherapy outcomes in non-myeloid malignancies.
