Targeting Mettl8-Tcf1 axis promotes CD8+ TPEX differentiation and antitumor immunity

ABSTRACT: CD8+ T cell exhaustion represents a major obstacle to effective cancer immunotherapy. While stem-like progenitor exhausted T (TPEX) cells can differentiate into intermediate (Int-TEX) and terminally exhausted (TEX) subsets, the epigenetic regulation of this process is unclear. We identify the RNA methyltransferase Mettl8 as a critical regulator, with expression significantly higher in TPEX than in TEX subsets. In anti-PD-1 responding human NSCLC patients, Mettl8 and the stemness factor TCF7 were downregulated. In murine models, Mettl8 deletion restrained tumor progression by driving TPEX differentiation into effective Int-TEX cells. Mechanistically, Mettl8 stabilizes Tcf7 mRNA via m³C modification and enhances Tcf1 protein expression. Additionally, Mettl8 interacts with Tcf1 to facilitate chromatin looping at the Tox locus, maintaining TPEX stemness. Pharmacological Mettl8 inhibition promoted TPEX-to-Int-TEX differentiation and tumor control. Combining this inhibition with anti-PD-1 therapy yielded synergistic efficacy. Our findings establish Mettl8 as a pivotal regulator of TPEX fate and a promising therapeutic target for enhancing immunotherapy.

Mannose enhances anti-PD-1 therapy efficacy in ovarian cancer via modulating gut microbial metabolite.

Project description:The gut microbiome serves as a crucial mediator for improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Here, we show that oral supplementation with prebiotics (mannose) retarded tumor growth in immunocompetent mice in a gut microbiota dependent manner, correlating with the enrichment of Faecalibaculum. Mannose generates an immune-stimulatory tumor microenvironment (TME) characterized by an increase percentage of effector and memory CD8+T cells, accompanied by a prominent immunoreactivegeneexpressionsignature. Most importantly, mannose modulates the stemness program of CD8+T cells and facilitates the generation of progenitor exhausted CD8+T cells (Tpex). Mechanistically, mannose increases gut microbial production of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) propionate and butyrate. Administration of propionate and butyrate suppresses tumor progression and stimulates the expansion and differentiation of Tpex both in vivo and in vitro. Mannose synergized with PD-1 blockade in tumor regression and augmented intratumoral Tpex differentiation into intermediate exhausted CD8+T cells (Tex-int) and terminally exhausted CD8+T cells (Tex-term). Moreover, we identified a mannose-therapy related gene signature associated with favorable responses to ICB in pan-cancer. Overall, our findings support the rationale for combining dietary supplementation of mannose with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in ovarian cancer, and its clinical translation.

Mannose enhances anti-PD-1 therapy efficacy in ovarian cancer via modulating gut microbial metabolite [Peritoneum]

Project description:The gut microbiome plays a critical role in enhancing the effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Here, we demonstrate that oral supplementation with the prebiotics mannose slows tumor growth in immunocompetent mice in a manner dependent on the gut microbiota. This effect is associated with an increase in the abundance of Faecalibaculum. Mannose generates an immune-stimulatory tumor microenvironment (TME), characterized by a higher percentage of effector and memory CD8+ T cells, along with a notable immunoreactive gene expression signature. Crucially, mannose modulates the stemness program of CD8+ T cells and promotes the generation of progenitor exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tpex). Mechanistically, mannose enhances the production of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) propionate and butyrate by the gut microbiota. Administration of propionate and butyrate suppresses tumor progression and stimulates the expansion and differentiation of Tpex both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, mannose works synergistically with PD-1 blockade, resulting in tumor regression and enhanced differentiation of intratumoral Tpex into intermediate exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex-int) and terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex-term). We also identified a gene signature related to mannose therapy that correlates with favorable responses to ICB across various cancers. Overall, our findings support the combination of mannose dietary supplementation with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in treating ovarian cancer and suggest its potential for clinical application.

Effect of overexpression of Empty or POU2F2 on gene expression in P14 CD8 T cells at single cell level [scRNA-seq II]

Project description:In chronic viral infections, sustained CD8+ T cell response relies on TCF1+ precursor exhausted T cells (TPEX) exhibiting stem-like properties. TPEX self-renew and respond to PD-1 blockade, underscoring their paramount importance. However, strategies for effectively augmenting TPEX remain limited. Here, we demonstrate that ZC3H12A deficiency initiates a stemness program in TPEX but also increases cell death, whereas BCOR deficiency predominantly promotes TPEX proliferation. Consequently, co-targeting of both BCOR and ZC3H12A imparts exceptional stemness and functionality to TPEX, thereby enhancing viral control. Mechanistically, BCOR and ZC3H12A collaboratively suppress a core stemness program in TPEX characterized by heightened expression of approximately 216 factors. While TCF1 plays a role, this core stemness program relies on novel factors, including PDZK1IP1, IFIT3, PIM2, LTB, and POU2F2. Crucially, overexpressing POU2F2 robustly boosts TPEX and enhances antiviral immunity. Thus, a core stemness program exists in exhausted T cells, jointly repressed by BCOR and ZC3H12A, robustly controlling TPEX differentiation and providing new targets for addressing T cell exhaustion.

Strength of CD28 costimulation directs self-renewal or differentiation of TCF-1+ PD-1+ CD8 T cells through metabolic regulation

Project description:During persistent antigen stimulation, such as in chronic infections and cancer, T cells differentiate into a hypofunctional exhausted state to survive. Exhausted PD-1+ CD8 T cell responses are sustained by TCF-1+ precursors (Tpex) that self-renew or differentiate into exhausted T cells (Tex) that retain some effector function. Tpex have high expression of the costimulatory molecule CD28 and are the cells that respond to PD-1 targeted immunotherapy. Here, we demonstrate that abrogation of CD28 signaling impairs maintenance of anti-viral T cell responses during chronic infection. Low-level CD28 signaling was required to preserve mitochondrial fitness and self-renewal of Tpex, whereas stronger CD28 signaling enhanced glycolysis and promoted Tpex differentiation. Our findings show that CD28 signaling is essential for long-term maintenance of antigen-specific T cells during chronic stimulation, and suggest that the activation status of antigen presenting cells determines Tpex differentiation into more functional effector-like Tex cells.
