Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), notably Programmed Death-1/Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibition, has revolutionized the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, durable responses are only observed in a subpopulation of patients. Defective antigen presentation and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment can lead to deficient T-cell recruitment and ICB resistance. We evaluated in situ vaccination with CXCL9 and CXCL10-engineered dendritic cells (CXCL9/10-DC) as a novel strategy to overcome resistance to ICB using Lkb1-null murine NSCLC model. We utilized single-cell RNA-seq to evaluate alterations of immune infiltration associated with the new therapy, which combines intratumoral CXCL9/10-DC administration and PD-1 inhibition.

Project description:Tumors induce tolerance towards their antigens by producing the chemokine CCL21, leading to the formation of tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs). Ins2-CCL21 transgenic, non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice express CCL21 in pancreatic β-cells and do not develop autoimmune diabetes. We investigated by which mechanisms CCL21 expression prevented diabetes. Islet infiltrates of 4 week-old Ins2-CCL21 mice were enriched in naïve CD4+ T cells and compartmentalized within networks of CD45- gp38+ CD31- fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC)-like stromal cells. Importantly, 12 week-old Ins2-CCL21 NOD islets contained FRC-like cells with enhanced expression of β-cell autoantigens and gene expression profiles consistent with regulatory, anti-inflammatory properties and increased contractility. Consistently, transgenic mice harbored fewer autoreactive T cells and higher proportion of Tregs in the islets. Using adoptive transfer and islet transplantation models, we demonstrate that the formation of TLOs in Ins2-CCL21 transgenic islets is critical for regulation of autoimmunity and while the effect is systemic, the induction may be mediated locally by lymphocyte trafficking through TLOs. Overall, our findings suggest that CCL21 promotes TLOs that differ from inflammatory TLOs associated with islets in T1D in that they resemble lymph nodes, contain FRC-like cells expressing β-cell autoantigens and are able to induce systemic and antigen-specific tolerance leading to diabetes prevention. These findings suggest that CCL21 may be exploited for novel immunoregulation approaches to treat autoimmune diabetes.

Project description:Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines represent a clinically promising strategy for cancer treatment using a "prime-boost" approach. Achieving synergistic antitumor efficacy with chemotherapy requires precise temporal coordination, yet the timing of post-chemotherapy vaccination remains unstandardized, hindering its clinical translation. To address this, we designed a nanoprobe (Fe@O-DT(Cy7)) and applied bimodal imaging (FMI/MPI) to track DC vaccine migration and apoptosis after oxaliplatin treatment in a colorectal cancer model. We identified an optimal therapeutic window on day 7 post-chemotherapy, coinciding with peak immunogenic cell death (ICD). DC vaccination within this 7-d window ensured optimal lymph node homing, minimal apoptosis, and enhanced antitumor efficacy, characterized by immune cell infiltration and tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) formation. Mechanistically, this window correlated with NF-κB pathway activation and CCL19/CCL21 upregulation. This study elucidates the role of the LTα1β2-LTβR axis in ICD-modulated DC vaccination and reveals the function of TLS in DC vaccine efficacy.

Project description:Cancer is characterized by an accumulation of somatic mutations, of which a significant subset can generate cancer-specific neoepitopes that are recognized by autologous T cells. Neoepitopes are emerging as important targets for cancer immunotherapy, including personalized cancer vaccination strategies. We used whole-exome and RNA sequencing analysis to identify potential neoantigens for a patient with non-small cell lung cancer. Sequencing revealed a low tumor mutational burden: 2,219 sequence variants were identified from the primary tumor, of which 23 were expressed in the transcriptome, involving 18 gene products. We assessed autologous T-cell reactivity to the candidate neoantigens using a long peptide approach and could demonstrate spontaneous T-cell responses to 5/18 (28%) mutated gene variants. Further, analysis of the TCR repertoire of neoantigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells revealed TCR clonotypes that were expanded in both blood and tumor tissue. In parallel, the 18 gene variants were incorporated into a Modified Vaccinia Ankara-based vaccine, which was evaluated in the transgenic HLA-A*02-restricted HHD mouse model. Following vaccination, de novo T-cell responses were generated to 4/18 (22%) mutated gene variants, of which 2 were also observed in the autologous setting; we determined the MHC restriction of the T-cell responses and used in silico prediction tools to determine the likely neoepitopes. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of efficiently identifying tumor-specific neoantigens that can be targeted by vaccination in tumors with a low mutational burden, and promises successful clinical application, with trials currently underway.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but resistance to these therapies is common. We report results from a phase I trial combining intratumoral administration of a CCL21-gene modified dendritic cell (CCL21-DC) vaccine with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced NSCLC. Among 23 patients that received trial therapy, there were no dose-limiting toxicities and a low incidence of treatment-related adverse events. Although no objective responses were observed, 36.8% of patients had a best response of stable disease (SD). Correlative analyses of longitudinal tumor biopsies revealed that disease stability was associated with reduced tumor mutational heterogeneity and increased intratumoral T cell receptor diversity following therapy. Post-treatment tumor biopsies exhibited increased CD4+ T cell infiltration and the presence of novel T cell clones that predominantly possessed CD4+ memory T cell phenotypes. These novel clones experienced greater clonal expansion and a transition towards exhausted phenotypes in SD samples. However, many novel clones failed to persist over time, and immunosuppressive myeloid signaling signatures were identified especially in progressive disease samples. Our findings demonstrated that CCL21-DC vaccination combined with pembrolizumab is safe and can promote antitumor immune responses in a subset of patients. However, efficacy may have been constrained due to limited tumor specificity of the T cell response and an inability to fully reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Adult stem cells represent an invaluable resource that can be harnessed for therapeutic tissue repair. Gut stem cells are accessible by biopsy and grow indefinitely in culture as organoids or cell lines. Human fetal gut can generate rare insulin-secreting cells. However, the short lifespan of gut cells, amounting to only days in situ, calls into question the feasibility of producing stable and durable gut insulin-secreting cells as a potential engraftable therapeutic. Here, we show that cultured human stomach stem cells can be directed to generate pancreatic islet-like organoids containing long-lived gastric insulin-secreting (GINS) cells that resemble pancreatic b-cells in molecular hallmarks and function. After sequential activation of the inducing factors NGN3 and PDX1-MAFA, gastric stem cells passed through a SOX4High endocrine and a GalaninHigh precursor state before adopting the b-cell fate, at efficiencies exceeding 80%. GINS cells acquired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion 10 days post differentiation and restored glucose homeostasis for over 100 days in diabetic mice after transplantation. This study establishes a promising approach to procuring autologous human insulin producers for diabetes treatment, and further expands the already considerable therapeutic opportunities for gut stem cells.
