Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade is effective for some cancer patients, but most are refractory to current immunotherapies and new approaches are needed to overcome resistance. The protein tyrosine phosphatases PTPN2 and PTPN1 are central regulators of inflammation, and their genetic deletion in either tumour or immune cells promotes anti-tumour immunity. However, phosphatases are challenging drug targets and in particular, the active site has been considered undruggable. Here, we present the discovery and characterization of ABBV-CLS-484 (AC484), a first-in-class, orally bioavailable, potent PTPN2/N1 active site inhibitor. AC484 treatment in vitro amplifies the response to interferon and promotes the activation and function of several immune cell subsets. In murine cancer models resistant to PD-1 blockade, AC484 monotherapy generates potent anti-tumour immunity. We show that AC484 inflames the tumour microenvironment and promotes NK and CD8+ T cell function by enhancing JAK-STAT signaling and reducing T cell dysfunction. PTPN2/N1 inhibitors offer a promising new strategy for cancer immunotherapy and are currently being evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumours (NCT04777994). More broadly, our study shows that small molecule inhibitors of key intracellular immune regulators can achieve efficacy comparable to or exceeding antibody-based immune checkpoint blockade in preclinical models. Finally, to our knowledge, AC484 represents the first active-site phosphatase inhibitor to enter clinical evaluation for cancer immunotherapy and may pave the way for additional therapeutics targeting this important class of enzymes.

Project description:WT mice and mice lacking PTPN2 in T cells (PTPN2-CD4Cre mice) were treated with AOM/DSS to induce colorectal tumours. RNA was isolated from tumour and non-tumour tissues in the colon. Colon samples from water-treated WT and PTPN2-CD4Cre mice served as additional control. Total RNA was isolated and the samples sequenced for polyA enriched RNA.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatase N2 (Ptpn2) is a type 1 diabetes (T1D) candidate gene identified from human genome-wide association studies. PTPN2 is highly expressed in human and murine islets and becomes elevated upon inflammation, suggesting that PTPN2 may be important for beta cell survival in the context of T1D. To test whether PTPN2 contributed to beta cell dysfunction in an inflammatory environment, we generated a beta cell-specific deletion of Ptpn2 in mice (Ptpn2 βKO). While unstressed animals exhibit normal metabolic profiles, streptozotocin (STZ) Ptpn2 βKO mice display marked increase in hyperglycemia and death due to exacerbated beta cell loss. Furthermore, cytokine treated Ptpn2 KO islets resulted in mitochondrial defects and reduced glucose-induced metabolic flux, suggesting beta cells lacking Ptpn2 are more susceptible to inflammatory stress associated with T1D due to compromised metabolic fitness.

Project description:Genetic variants at the PTPN2 locus, which encodes the tyrosine phosphatase PTPN2, cause reduced gene expression and are linked to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases. PTPN2 inhibits signaling through the T cell and cytokine receptors and loss of PTPN2 promotes T cell expansion and CD4 and CD8-driven autoimmunity. However, it remains unknown whether loss of PTPN2 in FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) plays a role in autoimmunity. Here we show that a reduction in Ptpn2 expression, comparable to that reported in human carriers of autoimmune-predisposing PTPN2 variants, unexpectedly enhances the severity of autoimmune arthritis through a Treg-intrinsic mechanism. Mechanistically, we found that through dephosphorylation of STAT3, Ptpn2 inhibits IL-6-driven pathogenic loss of FoxP3 after Tregs have acquired RORgt expression, at a stage when chromatin accessibility for STAT3-targeted IL-17 associated transcription factors is maximized. We conclude that PTPN2 promotes FoxP3 stability in RORgt+ Treg and that loss of function of PTPN2 in Treg contributes to the association between PTPN2 and autoimmunity.
