Temporally resolved single-cell transcriptomics defines immune dysfunction trajectories in glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Immune cells sense their environment and adapt their state. Deciphering cellular trajectories unfolding over time is fundamental for understanding biology. Empirical in vivo genomic technologies measuring both cell state and time are lacking. Here, we present Zman-seq, a single-cell technology tracking transcriptomic dynamics across time by introducing fluorescent time stamps into immune cells. We applied Zman-seq to resolve immune cell state-transitions of the dysfunctional tumor immune microenvironment (TME) of glioblastoma (GBM). By measuring the exposure time of infiltrating immune cells in the TME, Zman-seq defines the cellular and molecular trajectories underlying immune incompetence in GBM. Within 24 hours, cytotoxic NK cells transitioned to a dysfunctional program regulated by Tgfb1, while monocytes differentiated into immunosuppressive macrophages in 36-48 hours. Anti-TREM2 antagonistic antibody reshaped the TME by redirecting monocytes to pro-inflammatory macrophages. Zman-seq is a broadly applicable technology enabling empirical measurements of differentiation trajectories guiding the development of more efficacious immunotherapies.

Spatiotemporal co-dependency between macrophages and exhausted CD8+ T cells (RNA-Seq)

Project description:T cell exhaustion is a major impediment to anti-tumor immunity. However, it remains elusive how other immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute to this dysfunctional state. Here we show that the biology of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) and exhausted T cells (Tex) in the TME is extensively linked. We demonstrate that in vivo depletion of TAM reduces exhaustion programs in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and reinvigorates their effector potential. Reciprocally, transcriptional and epigenetic profiling reveals that Tex express factors that actively recruit monocytes to the TME and shape their differentiation. Using lattice light sheet microscopy, we show that TAM and CD8+ T cells engage in unique long-lasting antigen-specific synaptic interactions that fail to activate T cells, but prime them for exhaustion, which is then accelerated in hypoxic conditions. Spatially resolved sequencing supports a spatiotemporal self-enforcing positive feedback circuit that is aligned to protect rather than destroy a tumor.

Stromal evolution of cancer-associated fibroblasts in PDAC GEMMs

Project description:With the advent of cancer immunotherapy, intense investigation has been focused on tumor-infiltrating immune cells. With only a fraction of patients responding to these new therapies, a better understanding of all elements of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that may influence therapeutic outcome is needed. Stromal elements of the TME, chiefly fibroblasts, have emerged as potential contributors to tumor progression and most recently resistance to immunotherapy, but their precise composition and clinical relevance remain incompletely understood. Here we use single-cell transcriptomics to chart the fibroblastic landscape during pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression in animal models, identifying two healthy tissue fibroblast subsets that co-evolve along individual trajectories into four subsets of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs).

Combined PD-L1/TGFb blockade allows expansion and differentiation of stem cell-like CD8 T cells in immune excluded tumors

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8 T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

Rapid Monocyte Recruitment Dictates the Therapeutic Efficacy of Focal Radiotherapy

Project description:The recruitment of monocytes and their differentiation into immunosuppressive cells is associated with the negative outcome of non-conformal radiotherapy (RT). However, non-conformal RT is irrelevant in the clinic, and little is known about the role of monocytes following radiotherapy modes used in patients, such as conformal radiotherapy (CRT). Here, we investigated the acute immune infiltration post-CRT. Contrary to non-conformal RT approaches, we found that CRT induces a rapid and robust recruitment of monocytes to the tumor that minimally differentiate into tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) or dendritic cells (DC), but instead upregulate major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) and costimulatory molecules. We establish that these large numbers of infiltrating monocytes are responsible for increasing type I interferon in the tumor microenvironment (TME), activation of CD8+ T cells and the reduction in tumor burden. Importantly, we demonstrate that rapid monocyte infiltration to the TME is hindered when RT inadvertently affects healthy tissues. Our results unravel a positive role of monocytes during clinically relevant modes of RT and demonstrate that limiting exposure of healthy tissues to radiation has a positive therapeutic effect on the overall immune response within the tumor.

Targeted inducible delivery of immunoactivating cytokines reprograms glioblastoma microenvironment and inhibits growth in mouse models [scRNA-seq]

Project description:We exploited a lentiviral vector-based platform to engineer hematopoietic stem cells ex vivo with the aim of releasing, via their tumor-infiltrating monocyte/macrophage progeny, IFN-a or IL-12 at the tumor site in a spatial and temporal regulated manner. Taking advantage of a syngeneic GBM mouse model, we showed that inducible release of IFN-a within the TME achieved robust tumor inhibition up to eradication and outperformed systemic treatment with the recombinant protein in terms of efficacy, tolerability and specificity. Single-cell RNAseq of the tumor immune infiltrate revealed reprogramming of the immune microenvironment towards a pro-inflammatory and anti-tumoral state associated with loss of a macrophage subpopulation predicting poor prognosis in human GBM.

Regulatory T cells underlies resistance to radio-immunotherapy, prevent the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures and impair CD8 T cell activation in glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastomas (GBM) are aggressive primary brain tumors with an inherent resistance to T cell-centric immunotherapy imparted to their low mutational burden and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Examination of the GBM TME dynamics following fractionated RT revealed a 10-fold increase in T cell content, an enrichment also observed by spatial imaging mass cytometry in matched primary and recurrent human GBM. Implementation of a-PD-1 treatment at the peak of T cell infiltration results in a modest, albeit distinct survival benefit compared to concurrent a-PD-1 administration in GBM-bearing mice. CD103+ Tregs presenting increased cholesterol pathway activity are recruited to the GBM TME in response to a-PD-1 therapy, suggestive of their ability to restrain the response to immune checkpoint blockade. Targeting of Tregs elicits the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures, enhanced CD8 T cell content and activation and enables the therapeutic efficacy of radio-immunotherapy. These results support the rational design of therapeutic regimens limiting the induction of immunosuppressive feedback pathways in order to unleash the efficacy of T-cell centric immunotherapy in glioblastoma.

Inferring time-course chromatin states for promoter-enhancer pairs based on Hi-C data

Project description:Co-localized combinations of histone modifications ("chromatin states") have been shown to correlate with promoter and enhancer activity. Changes in chromatin states over multiple time points ("chromatin state trajectories") have previously been analyzed at promoter and enhancers separately. With the advent of time-course Hi-C data it is now possible to connect promoters and enhancers and to analyze chromatin state trajectories at promoter-enhancer pairs. We present TimelessFlex, a framework for investigating chromatin state trajectories at promoter-enhancer pairs based on Hi-C information.
