Radiation and anti-PD-L1 synergize by stimulating a stem-like T cell population in the tumor-draining lymph node

ABSTRACT: Radiotherapy (RT) and anti-PD-L1 synergize to enhance local and distant (abscopal) tumor control. However, clinical results in humans have been variable. With the goal of improving clinical outcomes, we investigated the underlying synergistic mechanism focusing on a TCF-1+ PD-1+ CD8+ stem-like T cell subset in the tumor-draining lymph node (TdLN). We found that RT + anti-PD-L1 induces a novel differentiation program in the TdLN stem-like population which leads to their expansion and differentiation into effector cells within the tumor. We also found that optimal synergy between RT + anti-PD-L1 is dependent on the TdLN stem-like T cell population as either blockade of TdLN egress or specific stem-like T cell depletion reduced tumor control. Together, these data demonstrate a multistep stimulation of stem-like T cells following combination therapy which is initiated in the TdLN and completed in the tumor.

Anti-PD-L1 antibody direct activation of macrophages contributes to an abscopal response in murine brain tumors

Project description:Immunotherapy approaches for glioblastoma multiforme have been thus far largely unsuccessful, suggesting unappreciated complexity in glioma biology and immunology. The intra-tumoral heterogeneity of these intrinsic brain tumors results in therapies killing only a subset of the tumor cells; therefore, therapeutic success will require achieving and optimizing an “abscopal effect” where tumor cells not specifically targeted are recognized and attacked as bystanders by the immune system. We have modified an immune-competent, genetically-driven mouse glioma model where a portion of the tumor burden is treated and another untreated portion is used as a readout of therapeutic efficacy. We find that following radiation of one lesion, anti-PD-L1 therapy enhances the abscopal response (macrophages and T-cells) to the un-irradiated lesion. In gliomas with few baseline T-cells, the anti-PD-L1-enhanced abscopal response occurs as an anti-PD-L1-driven, macrophage-mediated, and ERK-dependent increase in phagocytosis of tumor cells. Our results indicate that combined radiation and anti-PD-L1 therapy for gliomas results in peripherally-derived macrophages being responders in tumors with few baseline T-cells in the microenvironment.

Radiation and Dual Checkpoint Blockade Activates Non-Redundant Mechanisms in Cancer

Project description:Response to immune checkpoint inhibitors may be improved through combinations with each other and other therapies, raising questions about non-redundancy and resistance. We report results from parallel studies of melanoma patients and mice treated with anti-CTLA4 and radiation (RT). Although combined treatment improved responses, resistance was common. Computational analyses of immune and transcriptomic profiles (provided here) revealed that resistance in mice was due to upregulation of tumor PD-L1 that drives T cell exhaustion. Accordingly, optimal response requires RT, anti-CTLA4, and anti-PD-L1. Anti-CTLA4 inhibits Tregs, RT diversifies and shapes the TCR repertoire, and anti-PD-L1 reinvigorates exhausted T cells. Together, all three therapies promote the expansion of clonotypes with distinct TCR traits. Similar to mice, patients with melanoma showing high PD-L1 did not respond to RT + anti-CTLA4, demonstrated persistent T cell exhaustion, and rapidly progressed. Thus, the combination of RT, anti-CTLA4, and anti-PD-L1 promotes response through distinct mechanisms.

Evading immune evasion via reprograming of the tumor microenvironment by radiotherapy and simultaneous targeting of TGF-β/PD-L1

Project description:Tumor immunogenicity enhanced by radiotherapy (RT), is often counterbalanced by immune evasive mechanisms and tissue remodeling effects via upregulation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). We report that bintrafusp alfa (BA), a bifunctional fusion protein that simultaneously inhibits TGF-β and PD-L1, is a favorable combination partner for RT in eradicating multiple treatment-resistant tumor models. Beneficial effects of BA+RT (BART) are partly attributed to counterbalancing undesired RT effects and local tumor microenvironment reprograming, leading to reconstitution of tumor immunity and regression of spontaneous lung metastases. Intriguingly, BA, but neither TGF-β trap nor anti–PD-L1 alone, attenuates late-stage RT-induced lung fibrosis. Single cell transcriptome show TGF-β expression is confined to PD-L1+ endothelium and M2/lipofibroblast-like cells. Hence, superior effects of BA could be attributed to its ability to trap TGF-β to relevant PD-L1+ compartments. Here, we provide rationales that BART resensitizes tumors and broadens the therapeutic window.

Melanoma cell intrinsic GABAA receptor enhancement potentiates radiation and immune checkpoint inhibitor response by promoting direct and T cell-mediated anti-tumor activity

Project description:Most metastatic melanoma patients show variable responses to radiotherapy and do not benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Improved strategies for combination therapy that leverage potential benefits from radiotherapy and ICI are critical. Genes coding for subunits of GABAARs express functional GABAARs in melanoma cells. By enhancing GABAAR mediated anion transport, benzodiazepines depolarize melanoma cells and impair their viability. In vivo, benzodiazepine alone reduces tumor growth and potentiates radiotherapy and α-PD-L1 anti-tumor activity. Combination of benzodiazepine, radiotherapy, and α-PD-L1 results in near complete regression of treated tumors and a potent abscopal effect, mediated by increased infiltration of polyfunctional CD8+ T cells. Treated tumors show expression of cytokine:cytokine receptor interactions and overrepresentation of p53 signaling. This study identifies an anti-tumor strategy combining radiation and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor with modulation of GABAARs in melanoma using a benzodiazepine.

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.

Systemically administered HMGN1 immunostimulatory peptide with anti-PD-L1 antibody exerts synergistic antitumor effects

Project description:In this study, we explore a new combination therapy of anti-PD-L1 antibody with an immunostimulatory peptide derived from an alarmin high mobility group nucleosome binding protein 1 (HMGN1). Combination treatement of HMGN1 immunostimulatory peptide with anti-PD-L1 antibody exerted robust anti-tumor effects in Colon26 subtaneous murine model. To understand transcriptomic differences of immune cell population in the tumor-bearing mice after treated with single-agent or combination therapy of HMGN1 with anti-PD-L1 antibody, we performed transcriptome analysis on tumor tissue using 5’end Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE)-sequencing with an Ion 540 Chef kit, an Ion 540 Chip kit, and an Ion S5 Sequencer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Blocking of CA-MSC-induced desmoplasia reprograms the tumor immune microenvironment and enhances cancer immunotherapy

Project description:We determined the immune cell composition and their gene expression, by performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), in anti-PD-L1-treated 2F8cis tumors, a hot and immunoresponsive ovarian murine tumor model, and anti-PD-L1-treated 2F8cis/CA-MSC tumors. We also evaluated the ability of hedgehog inhibitor (HHi) therapy to reverse CA-MSC effects. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were cultured with 2F8cis, an ovarian mouse tumor cell line, to generate cancer-associated MSC (CA-MSC). 2F8cis tumor cell alone or 2F8cis/CA-MSCs co-cultured cells at ratio 1:1 were injected into C57BL/6J mice. Tumor infiltrating CD45+ cells were isolated from anti-PD-L1-treated 2F8cis (Group 1, n=3), anti-PD-L1-treated 2F8cis/CA-MSCs (Group 2, n=3), anti-PD-L1+ IPI-926-treated 2F8cis/CA-MSCs (Group 3, n=3) tumors. Samples were labeled with different TotalSeq oligo-conjugated antibodies and loaded into the Chromium instrument (10x Genomics). The resulting barcoded cDNAs were used to construct libraries. Single-cell cDNA libraries were then processed for RNA sequencing using an Illumina NextSeq-500 platform. Anti-PD-L1-treated 2F8cis/CA-MSC tumors showed a high number of Monocytes and macrophages over-expressing Ccr2 and Tgfbi when compared to anti-PD-L1 responsive 2F8cis tumors. Our results also indicated that IPI-926 restored response to anti-PD-L1 therapy decresing the expression of Ccr2 and Tgfbi both in monocytes and macrophages. Our study represents the first detailed analysis generated by RNA-seq technology of 2F8cis/CA-MSC+ enriched tumor transcriptomes, treated with anti-PDL1 alone or in combination with HHi, and compared with anti-PDL1-treated tumors. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:Disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interaction rejuvenates antitumor immunity. Clinical successes by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 binding have grown across wide-ranging cancer histologies, but innate therapy resistance is evident in the majority of treated patients1. Cancer cells can express robust surface levels of PD-L1 to tolerize tumor-specific T cells, but regulation of PD-L1 protein levels in the cancer cell is poorly understood. Quasi-mesenchymal tumor cells up-regulate PD-L1/L2 and induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment, including expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells and exclusion of CD8+ T-cell infiltration2. Targeted therapy, including MAPK inhibitor therapy in melanoma, leads to quasi-mesenchymal transitions and resistance3, and both MAPK inhibitor treatment and mesenchymal signatures are associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance4,5. Here we identify ITCH as an E3 ligase that downregulates tumor cell-surface PD-L1/L2 in PD-L1/L2-high cancer cells, including MAPK inhibitor-resistant melanoma, and suppresses acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance in and only in immune-competent mice. ITCH interacts with and poly-ubiquitinates PD-L1/L2, and ITCH deficiency increases cell-surface PD-L1/L2 expression and reduces T cell activation. Mouse melanoma tumors grow faster with Itch knockdown only in syngeneic hosts but not in immune-deficient mice. MAPK inhibitor therapy induces tumor cell-surface PD-L1 expression in murine melanoma, recapitulating the responses of clinical melanoma3, and this induction is more robust with Itch knockdown. Notably, suppression of ITCH expression first elicits a shift toward an immune-suppressive microenvironment and then accelerates resistance development. These findings collectively identify ITCH as a critical negative regulator of PD-L1 tumor cell-surface expression and provide insights into previously unexplained role of PD-L1 in adaptive resistance to therapy.
