Project description:Although oncolytic adenoviruses have been widely studied for their direct oncolytic activity and immunomodulatory role in cancer immunotherapy, the immunosuppressive feedback loop induced by oncolytic adenoviruses remains poorly studied. Here, we showed that type V adenovirus (ADV) induces the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to the M2 phenotype and increases the infiltration of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). By selectively compensating for these deficiencies, Tα1 reprogrammed “M2-like” TAMs toward an antitumoral phenotype, thereby reprogramming the TME into a state more beneficial for antitumor immunity. Moreover, ADVTα1 was constructed by harnessing the merits of all the components for the aforementioned combinatorial therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo data showed that both exogenously supplied and adenovirus-produced Tα1 orchestrate TAM reprogramming and enhance the antitumor efficacy of ADV via CD8+ T cells, showing promising prospects for clinical translation. Our findings provide inspiration for improving oncolytic adenovirus combination therapy and designing new oncolytic engineered adenoviruses.

Project description:<p>To investigate the impact of Wdr4 on the metabolic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we established an orthotopic HCC model in Wdr4-f/f and Wdr4 conditional knockout (Wdr4-cKO) mice. TAMs were subsequently isolated via flow cytometry-based cell sorting. Untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed to identify metabolic alterations in TAMs associated with Wdr4 deficiency.</p>

Project description:Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare and hereditary immunodeficiency disorder attributed to a malfunction in the NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) of phagocytes. Owing to the deficiency of NOX2-derived reactive oxygen species, individuals with CGD exhibit increased susceptibility to pathogens, including bacteria and fungi. This defect also contributes to an excessive inflammatory response, leading to tissue damage. In this study, we established a CGD infection model with Ncf2-/- genetic background through controlled environmental exposure. Within Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) facilities, Ncf2-/- mice showed no signs of infection. However, under CL grade conditions (CL), these mice spontaneously developed fibro-encapsulated necrotizing lung granulomas. Through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry, we detected a significant expansion of neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in the lung tissues of CGD mice, identifying a NOS2high neutrophil subset characterized by a proinflammatory transcriptional signature and a specific MDMs subset marked by NOS2 and ARG1. In the spatial transcriptomics data, the NOS2high neutrophils were located in the core area of granulomas, promoting the inflammatory response by highly expressing Mif, Il1b, and Il1a, while the specific macrophage subset was situated at the periphery of granuloma lesions, facilitating extracellular matrix remodeling by expressing Fn1, Mmp9, Mmp12, and Mmp14. Pharmacological inhibition of MIF can significantly diminish neutrophil infiltration and granuloma formation via MIF/NLRP3/IL1β axis. Furthermore, loss of the myeloid-specific pro-survival gene Morrbid resulted in the apoptosis of myeloid cells in CGD and loss of Il1r1 also mitigated diseases, leading to reduction of systemic inflammation in the two compound mutants. In summary, through controlling the environmental factors, we constructed a natural model of CGD infection, elucidated granuloma formation by single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and developed three interventions.

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) regulate cell cycle progression from the G1 to S phase. Recent findings have demonstrated that CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) enhances antitumor immunity, as evidenced by increased tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells, though the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our current study reveals that CDK4/6i enhances intratumoral CD8+ T cell infiltration in breast tumors through the functional reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), facilitating indirect interactions between tumor cells and CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, CDK4/6i enhances the proliferation and activation of M1 macrophages and promote the polarization of M2 to M1 macrophages via the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)-CD44/CD74 axis between tumor cells and macrophages. CDK4/6i-trained M1 TAMs increase and activate CD8+ T cells through MHC-I antigen presentation machinery. Inhibition of MIF in tumor cells or loss of MIF reverses the immunostimulatory effects of CDK4/6i on macrophages and subsequent CD8+ T cell antitumor immunity. Therefore, CDK4/6i-trained M1 TAM supernatant therapy surmounts the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and invokes a tumor response to low-dose PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy in breast cancers.

Project description:Here we investigated whether sterile triggers of inflammation induce trained immunity and thereby influence innate immune responses. Western diet (WD) feeding of Ldlr-/- mice induced systemic inflammation, which was undectable in serum soon after mice were shifted back to chow diet (CD). In contrast, myeloid cell responses towards innate stimuli remained broadly augmented. WD induced transcriptomic and epigenomic reprogramming of myeloid progenitor cells, leading to increased proliferation as well as enhanced innate immune and interferon responses towards in vivo LPS challenge. QTL analysis in human monocytes trained with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and stimulated with LPS suggested inflammasome-mediated trained immunity. Consistently, Nlrp3-/-/Ldlr-/--deficient mice lacked WD-induced systemic inflammation or myeloid progenitor proliferation and reprogramming. Hence, NLRP3 mediates trained immunity following WD and could thereby arbitrate the potentially deleterious effects of trained immunity in inflammatory diseases.
