Hippo signaling-controlled MHC-I antigen processing and presentation pathway potentiates antitumor immunity

ABSTRACT: MHC class I (MHC-I)-mediated tumor antigen processing and presentation (APP) pathway is essential for recruitment and activation of cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CD8+ CTLs). However, this pathway is frequently dysregulated in many cancers, thus leading to a failure of immunotherapy. Here, we reported that activation of the tumoral intrinsic Hippo pathway positively correlated with the expression of MHC-I APP genes and the abundance of CD8+ CTLs in mouse tumors and patients. Blocking the Hippo pathway effector YAP/TEAD potently improved antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, the YAP/TEAD complex cooperated with the NuRD complex to repress the NLRC5 transcription. The upregulation of NLRC5 by YAP/TEAD depletion or pharmacological inhibition increased the expression of MHC-I APP genes and enhanced CD8+ CTLmediated killing of cancer cells. Collectively, our results suggest a novel tumorpromoting function of YAP depending on NLRC5 to impair MHC-I APP pathway and provide a rationale for inhibiting YAP activity in immunotherapy for cancer.

Project description:Regulation of organ size is important for development and tissue homeostasis. In Drosophila, Hippo signaling controls organ size by regulating the activity of a TEAD transcription factor, Scalloped, through modulation of its coactivator protein Yki. The role of mammalian Tead proteins in growth regulation, however, remains unknown. Here we examined the role of mouse Tead proteins in growth regulation. In NIH3T3 cells, cell density and Hippo signaling regulated the activity of Tead proteins by modulating nuclear localization of a Yki homologue, Yap, and the resulting change in Tead activity altered cell proliferation. Tead2-VP16 mimicked Yap overexpression, including increased cell proliferation, reduced cell death, promotion of EMT, lack of cell contact inhibition, and promotion of tumor formation. Growth promoting activities of various Yap mutants correlated with their Tead-coactivator activities. Tead2-VP16 and Yap regulated largely overlapping sets of genes. However, only a few of the Tead/Yapregulated genes in NIH3T3 cells were affected in Tead1-/-;Tead2-/- or Yap-/- embryos. Most of the previously identified Yap-regulated genes were not affected in NIH3T3 cells or mutant mice. In embryos, levels of nuclear Yap and Tead1 varied depending on cell types. Strong nuclear accumulation of Yap and Tead1 were seen in myocardium, correlating with requirements of Tead1 for proliferation. However, their distribution did not always correlate with proliferation. Taken together, mammalian Tead proteins regulate cell proliferation and contact inhibition as a transcriptional mediator of Hippo signaling, but the mechanisms by which Tead/Yap regulate cell proliferation differ depending on cell types, and Tead, Yap and Hippo signaling may play multiple roles in mouse embryos. We used microarrays to know the gene expression profiles regurated by Tead2-VP16, Tead2-EnR, Yap, and cell density in NIH3T3 cells. Keywords: Cell density, genetic modification Tead2-VP16-, Tead2-EnR-, Yap- and control vector-expressing cells were cultured at low or high density for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
