Antigen presentation by tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) mediates progenitor to terminal exhaustion transition in glioblastoma and other solid tumors

ABSTRACT: While terminally exhausted T cells (Tex_term) retain important anti-tumor cytotoxic function, it is the relative preservation of renewable, stem-like progenitor exhaustion (Tex_prog) that better indicates immunotherapeutic responsivity. Although restraining the progression from Tex_prog to Tex_term thus takes on clinical significance, the cellular interactions in a tumor microenvironment (TME) governing such progression remain less established. Employing glioblastoma (GBM) and other solid tumors as models of severe exhaustion, we provide a detailed characterization of the progression from Tex_prog to Tex_term within the TME, where we observe a striking and disproportionate loss of Tex_prog over time, leading to a low progenitor exhaustion to terminal exhaustion ratio (PETER). We find exhaustion concentrated within tumor-specific T cell subsets, with cognate antigenic exposure requisite for acquisition of the Tex_term phenotype. However, we implicate tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), and not tumor cells, as the source of antigenic exposure governing the Tex_prog to Tex_term transition. Using cell – cell interaction analysis, we additionally highlight candidate receptor–ligand communications that may be specifically mediating the progression to Tex_term and resultant decline in PETER within the TME.

Characterization of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) in the tumor microenvironment of human melanoma

Project description:Tumor cells attract and dynamically interact with monocytes/macrophages to subvert their differentiation into tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), which mainly promote immunosuppression and neoplastic progression, but the pathways and microenvironmental cues governing their protumoral deviation are not completely understood. Thus, identifying molecular pathways responsible for TAM differentiation may provide new therapeutic targets to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy of cancer.

scRNA-seq of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from tumor draining LN, TIL and PBMC of melanoma bearing mice

Project description:CD8+ T cell-mediated immune response plays a pivotal role in controlling tumor growth.However, within the tumor microenvironment (TME), prolonged antigen exposure, as well as immunosuppressive factors, drive infiltrated tumor-specific CD8+ T cells into a hyporesponsive state known as “exhaustion”. These Tex cells are mainly characterized by the sustained and elevated expression of a series of inhibitory receptors as well as the hierarchical loss of effector functions. Further, the impaired proliferative capacity of exhausted CD8+ T cells results in decreasing numbers of tumor-specific T cells, such that the residual CD8+ T cells within the TME can barely provide sufficient protective immunity against tumor progression. Thus, the maintenance or reinforcement of intratumoral antigen-specific CD8+ T cells is indispensable for tumor repression. Here, we profiled the transcriptional signatures of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from tumor draining LN, TIL and PBMC of melanoma bearing mice at single-cell level, aiming to draw a comprehensive immune-atlas of tumor-specific CD8 T cells during tumorigenesis.

Spatiotemporal single-cell transcriptomics in mouse and human to investigate TAM evolution during GBM progression

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. Although immunotherapy has shown promise in certain cancer types, it has not been effective against GBM, largely due to its highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TMEs), which is rich in tumor-associated macrophages/microglia (TAMs). TAMs in late-stage GBM contribute to T-cell exhaustion and worsen prognosis, but the role of TAMs in earlier stages of tumor development is unclear. By employing genetically engineered mouse models and human samples, we used spatiotemporal single-cell transcriptomics to investigate TAM evolution during GBM progression.

RNAseq of ex vivo exhausted human antigen-specific T cells

Project description:Tumor-specific T cells are frequently exhausted by chronic antigenic stimulation. To explore new pathways for reinvigoration of anti-tumor immune functions, we developed a human ex vivo exhaustion model by repetitive antigenic stimulation of primary CD8 T cells. This results in T cells that resemble patient-derived T cells in tumors on a phenotypic and transcriptional level.

Reversible mitochondrial dysfunction drives terminal T-cell exhaustion

Project description:The failure of T-cells to control tumor growth has been associated with several functional defects that collectively lead to T-cell “exhaustion.” This phenotype results from chronic antigen stimulation within the tumor microenvironment, but how repetitive antigenic stimulation leads to T-cell exhaustion remains poorly defined. Here we show that persistent antigen stimulation induces mitochondrial oxidative stress that reduces tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity. The resultant bioenergetic compromise impairs nucleotide triphosphate synthesis, induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and activates an exhaustion-associated gene expression program. Reversal of oxidative stress with N-acetylcysteine effectively restores T-cell proliferation, effector function, and memory-associated gene expression and enhances anti-tumor T-cell efficacy in vivo. These data reveal that induction of mitochondrial oxidative stress is a critical component of terminal T-cell dysfunction. Furthermore, treatments that restore mitochondrial redox are sufficient to prevent T-cell exhaustion and enhance anti-tumor immunity.

Comparison of Invasive TAM sub-population to General TAM population

Project description:The tumor microenvironment modifies the malignancy of tumors. In solid tumors this environment is populated by many macrophages (tumor-associated macrophages; TAMs) that in genetic studies that depleted these cells from mouse models of breast cancer were shown to promote tumor progression to malignancy and increase metastatic potential. Mechanistic studies showed that these effects are through the stimulation of tumor cell migration, invasion, intravasation as well as an enhancement of angiogenesis. Using an in vivo invasion assay it was demonstrated that invasive carcinoma cells are a unique sub-population of tumor cells whose invasion and chemotaxis is dependent upon the co-migration of TAMs with obligate reciprocal signaling through an EGF/CSF-1 paracrine loop. In this study these invasion-promoting macrophages were isolated and subjected to analysis of their transcriptome in comparison to TAMs isolated indiscriminately to function using established macrophage markers by flow cytometry. Five biological replicates for each population (Invasive and General TAM) were used.

Spatiotemporal co-dependency between macrophages and exhausted CD8+ T cells (scRNA-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.

Proteomics analysis of extracellular vesicles from thyroid tumours

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in cell-stroma crosstalk within tumor microenvironment (TME) and Fb are key elements that contribute to tumor promotion. In thyroid cancer, the most prevalent endocrine malignancy, the relevance of Fb in the TME and EVs is beginning to be deciphered. Using an in vitro model of tumor-stroma crosstalk, we performed the comparative proteomic analysis of EVs secreted in tumoral- and non-tumoral milieu to describe EV-functionality and examine their possible role in thyroid tumor progression-related events. Tumor (TPC-1, 8505c) or non-tumor (NThyOri) thyroid cells were co-cultured with human fibroblasts (Fb). EVs, obtained by ultracentrifugation of conditioned media (CMs), were characterized by mass-spectrometry.
