Autonomous IL-36R Signaling positively modulates Neutrophil Anti-tumor Effector Functions

ABSTRACT: Despite the cancer treatment revolution brought on by the rapid advancement of immunotherapies, only a small fraction of patients derive clinical benefit. Moreover, eradication of large established tumors requires a concerted effort of complete immune system and hence identifying agents that activate and interlink both innate and adaptive immune system components is required. Here, we report that IL-36 cytokine can remodel an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and mediate potent anti-tumor immune response through hematopoietic cells, via both innate and adaptive immunity. Further, we demonstrate that IL-36 signaling reprograms neutrophils in a cell-intrinsic manner to greatly enhances their ability to directly kill tumor cells, their antigen presentation capability and promote T cell proliferation. Thus, the pleotropic effects of IL-36 transform neutrophils into potent effector cells to promote tumor rejection. While poor prognostic outcomes are associated with neutrophil enhancement in the TME, our results highlight the therapeutic potential of harnessing the ability of IL-36 signaling to reprogram neutrophils and link innate and adaptive immune system to enhance durable anti-tumor responses in solid tumors.

Innate and adaptive immunity cross-talk reprograms the tumor microenvironment to an inflammatory hub able to eliminate established poorly immunogenic tumors

Project description:Clinical benefit remains elusive for most patients with poorly inflamed carcinomas treated with immune checkpoint blockade. Alternative therapies able to convert the tumor microenvironment (TME) into a functionally inflamed immune hub may increase clinical benefit. Using comprehensive TME single-cell transcriptome, proteome, and immune cell analysis, we demonstrated that entinostat, a class I HDAC inhibitor, facilitates tumor deposition of the necrosis-targeted immunocytokine NHS-IL12 to promote potent anti-tumor efficacy against established MC38 and CT26 colon carcinoma models, with complete eradication of poorly immunogenic EMT6 breast tumors. Combination therapy reprogrammed the tumor innate and adaptive immunome to an inflamed landscape, where the concerted action of highly functional CD8+ T cells and activated neutrophils drove a dramatic macrophage M1-like polarization leading to complete tumor eradication. A biomarker signature of the mechanism involved in these studies is associated with patients’ overall survival in multiple tumor types. Collectively, these findings provide a rationale for combining NHS-IL12 with entinostat in the clinical setting.

IL-2wt and IL-2nα differentially reshape the TME

Project description:Comparing two agonists of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-2wt and IL-2nα, differentially reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME). To more comprehensively explore the mechanisms by which the two different IL-2R agonists regulate the TME, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on immune cells isolated from tumors. We clustered the 18,455 tumor-infiltrating immune cells into 5 populations, and found marked expansion of T cell populations as well as contraction of mononuclear phagocyte populations in both IL-2wt and IL-2nα treated tumors compared with immunoglobulin G (IgG) controls.

Interleukin-17 mediated paracrine network promote tumor resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy

Project description:While angiogenesis inhibitors have provided significant clinical benefit as cancer therapeutics, the mechanisms of anti-VEGF resistance remain incompletely understood. We uncovered an interleukin-17 mediated paracrine network of signaling between the adaptive and innate immune system associated with resistance to anti-VEGF treatment in multiple tumor models. The expression of tumor-associated fibroblasts and tumor-associated granulocytes (defined as CD11b+Gr1+) and tumor-associated monocytic cells (defined as CD11b+Gr1-) were compared between wildtype and IL-17RC knockout tumor bearing mice.

Single-cell RNA-seq of UTCαβ population in sarcoma mice models

Project description:Neutrophils represent a fundamental mechanism of antimicrobial resistance and inflammation 1. Moreover, neutrophils have emerged as important players in the activation, orchestration and regulation of adaptive immune responses2,3. Neutrophils are a component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and have been prevalently shown to promote progression 4-6. On the other hand, unleashed neutrophilic effectors have also been reported to mediate anti-cancer resistance7-11. Antibody-mediated depletion used to investigate the role of neutrophils in tumor progression suffers from limitations, including duration, specificity and perturbation of the system12. We therefore used a genetic approach to investigate the role of neutrophils in primary 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MCA)-induced sarcomagenesis. Neutrophils were found to play an essential role in resistance against primary carcinogenesis by driving an interferon-γ dependent type 1 immune response. Neutrophil-dependent macrophage production of IL-12p70 led to type 1 polarization of CD4- CD8- unconventional αβ T cells (UTCαβ) in the TME. Single cell RNAseq analysis and in vivo evidence from two preclinical sarcoma models highlight the antitumor potential of a UTCαβ subset. In the TCGA cohort of human undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS), unlike other sarcomas, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF3R) expression and a neutrophil signature were associated with better outcome and with a type 1 immune response. The positive association between high neutrophil infiltration and improved clinical outcome was confirmed in an independent UPS cohort by immunohistochemistry. Thus, neutrophils, by driving a type 1 immune response and polarization of UTCαβ, mediate resistance against murine and human sarcomas.

B bifidum actively changes the gene expression profile induced by L acidophilus in murine dendritic cells

Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) play a pivotal regulatory role in activation of the innate as well as the adaptive part of the immune system by responding to environmental microorganisms. We have previously shown that some lactobacilli strains induce a strong production of the pro-inflammatory and Th1 polarizing cytokine IL-12 in DC. Contrary, bifidobacteria do not induce IL-12, but are able to inhibit the IL-12 production induced by lactobacilli. In the present study, genome wide microarrays were used to investigate the maturation and gene expression pattern murine bone marrow derived DC stimulated with Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium bifidum Z9. L. acidophilus NCFM strongly induced expression of interferon (IFN)-Î², multiple virus defence genes, and cytokine and chemokine genes related to both the adaptive and the innate immune response. Contrary, B. bifidum Z9 mostly up-regulated genes encoding cytokines and chemokines related to the innate immune response. Moreover, B. bifidum Z9 inhibited the expression of the genes initiating the adaptive immune response induced by L. acidophilus NCFM and had an additive effect on genes of the innate immune response and some Th2 skewing genes. The gene encoding Jun dimerization protein 2 (JDP2), a key regulator in cell signalling, was one of the few genes only induced by B. bifidum Z9. Blocking of the JNK1/2 pathway completely inhibited the gene expression of Ifn-Î². We suggest that B. bifidum Z9 employs an active mechanism to inhibit induction of genes in DC triggering the adaptive immune system and that JPD2 is involved in the regulatory mechanism. In the experiment saline control, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, Bifidobacterium bifidum Z9 or both bacteria were were added to murine dendritic cells and stimulated for 10 hours. Experiments were run in triplicates and analyzed in a Two-way ANOVA design.

IL-33 provision by reprogrammed tumor fibroblastic stromal cells promotes local T cell activity and facilitates melanoma eradication

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex mixture of tumor cells, immune cells, endothelial cells and fibroblastic stroma cells (FSC). While cancer-associated fibroblasts are generally seen as a tumor-promoting entity, it is conceivable that distinct FSC populations within the TME contribute to immune-mediated tumor control. Here, we show that intra-tumoral injection of a recombinant LCMV-based vaccine vector (r3LCMV) expressing the melanocyte differentiation antigen TRP2 results in T cell-dependent eradication of melanomas. Analysis of the TME revealed that viral vector transduction precipitates activation of particular FSC subsets. Using single-cell RNA-seq analysis, we identified a Cxcl13-expressing FSC population with a pronounced immune-stimulatory signature and increased expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-33. Genetic ablation of Il33 in Cxcl13-Cre+ FSC impeded functionality of intratumoral T cells and consequently tumor control. Thus, reprogramming of distinct FSC subsets in the TME through LCMV-based vectors efficiently promotes tumor eradication by locally sustaining the activity of tumor-specific T cells.

The transcription factor BACH2 is required to establish immunosuppression within tumors

Project description:Through a diversity of functional lineages, cells of the innate and adaptive immune system either drive or constrain immune reactions within tumors. Thus, while the immune system has a powerful ability to recognize and kill cancer cells, this function is often suppressed preventing clearance of disease. The transcription factor (TF) BACH2 controls the differentiation and function of multiple innate and adaptive immune lineages, but its role in regulating tumor immunity is not known. Here, we demonstrate that BACH2 is required to establish immunosuppression within tumors. We found that growth of subcutaneously implanted tumors was markedly impaired in Bach2-deficient mice and coincided with intratumoral activation of both innate and adaptive immunity but was dependent upon adaptive immunity. Analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in Bach2-deficient mice revealed high frequencies of CD4+ and CD8+ effector cells expressing the inflammatory cytokine IFN-Î³. Lymphocyte activation coincided with reduction in the frequency of intratumoral CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. Mechanistically, Treg-dependent inhibition of CD8+ T cells was required for BACH2-mediated tumor immunosuppression. These findings demonstrate that BACH2 is a key component of the molecular programme of tumor immunosuppression and identify a new target for development of therapies aimed at reversing immunosuppression in cancer. Analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in Bach2-deficient mice revealed high frequencies of CD4+ and CD8+ effector cells expressing the inflammatory cytokine IFN-Î³.

Single-cell gene expression analysis of neutrophils from mouse tumors with and without microbial treatment

Project description:We conducted single-cell gene expression analysis of neutrophils from mouse tumors with and without microbial treatment to investigate neutrophil response in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Briefly, tumor-infiltrating Ly6G+CD11b+ neutrophils were isolated from unmanipulated tumors (resting), tumors treated with a vehicle control (control), and tumors treated with S. aureus bioparticles (stimulated) 24 hours after treatment. To survey the whole spectrum of the TME, we also isolated and sequenced non-neutrophil leukocytes in each sample.

Next generation sequencing transcriptome analysis of patient-derived macrophages after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination

Project description:Innate immunity triggers responsible for viral control or hyperinflammation in COVID-19 are largely unknown. Recently we could show that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-protein) primes inflammasome formation and release of mature interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in macrophages derived from COVID-19 patients but not in macrophages from healthy SARS-CoV-2 naïve individuals (Theobald et al. EMBO Mol Med. 2021). Further analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes profound and long-lived reprogramming of macrophages resulting in augmented immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 S-protein, a major vaccine antigen and potent driver of adaptive and innate immune signaling. In this project we want to focus on novel mRNA vaccines, which are exploiting S-protein driven immunogenicity for protection against SARS-CoV-2. Transcriptome analyses of macrophages might reveal differences in innate immune-associated pathways between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals after prime-boost. Thus, our project could help to gain a better understanding of vaccine-induced immunity including underlying molecular mechanisms in the interaction of the innate and adaptive immune system after mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Neutrophils Resist Ferroptosis and Promote Breast Cancer Metastasis through Aconitate Decarboxylase 1

Project description:Lung metastasis is the principal cause of breast cancer-related mortality. Neutrophils have emerged as an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), supporting tumor proliferation and mediating immunosuppression. Here, we show that aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1) is highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils and promotes breast cancer lung metastasis by supporting neutrophil survival in the TME. Acod1 expression is regulated by tumor-derived granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) transcription factor activity. Acod1 loss in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils leads to ferroptosis-like cell death, resulting in decreased frequency of neutrophils in the TME. Mechanistically, itaconate, the product of Acod1, activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), resulting in upregulated antioxidant responses and decreased lipid-reactive oxygen species. Genetical deletion of Acod1 in neutrophils suppresses lung metastasis of breast cancer in mouse models by decreasing neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and elevating cytotoxic T cell response. Importantly, genetic targeting of Acod1 enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade. Overall, our findings reveal a mechanism of how immunosuppressive neutrophils survive in the harsh TME and support Acod1-targeting approaches for cancer treatment.
