Attenuation of CD8 T Cell Exhaustion via miR-379-5p-Mediated Memory Promotion and Immune Checkpoint Inhibition

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs are epigenetic regulators of T cell maturation and exhaustion. However, the specific mechanisms by which miRNAs modulate T cell functions during tumor development are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that miR-379-5p counteracts the exhaustion phenotype induced by chronic T cell stimulation, enhancing anti-tumor effector functions. MiR-379-5p is downregulated in exhausted T cells, negatively associated with exhausted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in advanced tumors, and positively correlated with favorable survival in breast cancer and other cancer types. MiR-379-5p directly targets the 3' untranslated region (3’-UTR) of TIM3 and TIGIT, suppressing their expression in CD8 T cells. Ectopic miR-379-5p expression directs differentiation to memory-like effector cells, enhancing cancer cell killing activity. Conversely, the nuclear receptor NR4A1 negatively regulates miR-379 in T cells, restoring immune checkpoint gene expression and mitigating the cancer-killing ability. OT-1 T cells expressing miR-379-5p have elevated cytotoxic killing against B16F10-OVA tumors in NOD-SCID mice. Importantly, autologous T cells isolated from breast cancer patients introduced with miR-379-5p significantly increase their killing activity against tumor organoids derived from the matched patients. Our findings identify miR-379-5p as an epigenetic tumor suppressor that promotes CD8+ T cell effector functions, offering promise for novel cancer immunotherapy strategies.

PD-L1 overexpression, SWI/SNF complex Deregulation and Profound Transcriptomic Changes Characterize Cancer-Dependent Exhaustion of Persistently Activated CD4+ T Cells

Project description:The growing tumor avoids recognition and destruction by immune system. During continuous stimulation of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) by tumor, TILs become functionally exhausted. Thus, they become unable to kill tumor cells and to produce some cytokines, and lose their ability to proliferate. It collectively results in the immune escape of cancer cells. Here, we show that breast cancer cells expressing PD-L1 can accelerate exhaustion of persistently activated human effector CD4+ T cells, manifesting in high PD-1 and PD-L1 expression level on cell surface, decreased glucose metabolism genes, strong downregulation of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex subunits and p21 cell cycle inhibitor upregulation. This results in inhibition of T cell proliferation and reduction of T cells number. The RNAseq analysis on exhausted CD4+ T cells indicated strong overexpression of IDO1 and genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The PD-L1 overexpression was also observed in CD4+ T cells after co-cultivation with other cell line overexpressing PD-L1 that suggested the existence of general mechanism of CD4+ T cell exhaustion induced by cancer cells. The ChIP analysis on PD-L1 promoter region indicated that the strong BRM recruitment in control CD4+ T cells is replaced by BRG1 and EZH2 in CD4+ T cells strongly exhausted by cancer cells. These findings suggest that such epi-drugs as EZH2 inhibitors may be used as immunomodulators in cancer treatment.

Multiomic profiling of chronically activated CD4+ T cells identifies drivers of exhaustion and metabolic reprogramming

Project description:T-cell exhaustion occurs when T cells are chronically activated, usually in the context of cancer or chronic infection. Exhausted T cells lose effector functions, upregulate inhibitory receptors, and lose proliferation ability. Understanding the mechanisms of T-cell exhaustion is important as it has critical clinical applications, such as checkpoint blockade therapy. CD4+ T cells are understudied in the context of exhaustion, and no large-scale multiomic datasets containing proteomics, phosphoproteomics, or metabolomics exist. We therefor performed a multiomic experiment to profile this cell state using a time course analysis to also capture progression.

B16 vs Res499 Whole Exome Sequencing

Project description:Interferon-gamma (IFNG) augments immune function yet promotes T cell exhaustion through PDL1. How these opposing effects are integrated to impact immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is unclear. We show that while inhibiting tumor IFNG signaling decreases interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in cancer cells, it increases ISGs in immune cells by enhancing IFNG produced by exhausted T cells (TEX). In tumors with favorable antigenicity, these TEX mediate rejection. In tumors with neoantigen or MHC-I loss, TEX instead utilize IFNG to drive maturation of innate immune cells, including a PD1+TRAIL+ ILC1 population. By disabling an inhibitory circuit impacting PD1 and TRAIL, blocking tumor IFNG signaling promotes innate immune killing. Thus, interferon signaling in cancer cells and immune cells oppose each other to establish a regulatory relationship that limits both adaptive and innate immune killing. In melanoma and lung cancer patients, perturbation of this relationship is associated with ICB response independent of tumor mutational burden.

Single-cell RNA-seq of human breast tumor samples with exhausted and non-exhausted immune environments

Project description:Fresh human breast tumor tissue was dissociated into single cells and viably frozen. Patient samples were annotated as having an ""exhausted"" or ""non-exhausted"" immune environment based on CyTOF characterization of T cell phenotypes (Wagner et al, Cell 2019). 14 samples (7 exhausted, 7 non-exhausted) were selected for scRNA-seq (without prior cell type enrichment) with the goal to compare the two immune environment types and to comprehensively characterize exhaustion-associated features of the tumor microenvironment.

Dual Relief of T-Lymphocyte Proliferation and Effector Function Underlies Response to PD-1 Blockade in Epithelial Malignancies

Project description:Although understanding of T-cell exhaustion is widely based on mouse models, its analysis in cancer patients could provide clues indicating tumor sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Data suggests a role for costimulatory pathways, particularly CD28, in exhausted T-cell responsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomic, phenotypic, and functional approaches to dissect the relation between CD8+ T-cell exhaustion, CD28 costimulation, and tumor specificity in head and neck, cervical, and ovarian cancers. We found that memory tumor-specific CD8+ T cells, but not bystander cells, sequentially express immune checkpoints once they infiltrate tumors leading, in situ, to a functionally exhausted population. Exhausted T cells were nonetheless endowed with effector and tumor residency potential but exhibited loss of the costimulatory receptor CD28 in comparison to their circulating memory counterparts. Accordingly, PD-1 inhibition improved proliferation of circulating tumor-specific CD8 T cells and reversed functional exhaustion of specific T cells at tumor sites. In agreement with their tumor specificity, high infiltration of tumors by exhausted cells was predictive of response to therapy and survival in ICB-treated head and neck cancer patients. Our results showed that PD-1 blockade–mediated proliferation/reinvigoration of circulating memory T cells and local reversion of exhaustion occur concurrently to control tumors.

Degradation of Ikaros prevents epigenetic progression of T cell exhaustion in novel antigen-specific assay [bulk ATAC-seq]

Project description:Epigenetic regulation drives the differentiation of T cells into phenotypically stable subsets including a dysfunctional state termed exhaustion, the presence of these epigenetically distinct T cells in tumors make them non-responsive to checkpoint blockade. Cancer immunotherapies restoring T cell function have transformed cancer treatment by preventing immune evasion of tumor cells allowed by T cell exhaustion. However, some patients develop resistance to immunotherapy or do not respond. Recent literature has demonstrated that epigenetic regulation governs the transition from effector to exhausted T cells. Here, we describe a novel antigen-specific assay for T-cell exhaustion that produces T cells biologically and epigenetically similar to their in vivo exhausted counterpart. We perform a CRISPR KO screen for epigenetic regulators of the human genome and validate Ikaros as a driver of T-cell exhaustion. We determined that the Ikaros degrader iberdomide prevents exhaustion by blocking chromatin remodeling at T cell effector enhancers by preserving activity of key transcription factors AP-1, NF-κB and NFAT using transcription factor footprinting analysis. Thus, our study uncovers a role for Ikaros, degraded by the drug iberdomide, as a driver of T-cell exhaustion.

Five microRNAs in serum are able to differentiate breast cancer patients from healthy individuals

Project description:Breast Cancer is the cancer with most incidence and mortality in women. microRNAs are emerging as novel prognosis/diagnostic tools. Our aim was to identify a serum microRNA signature useful to predict cancer development. We focused on studying the expression levels of 30 microRNAs in the serum of 96 breast cancer patients versus 92 control individuals. Bioinformatic studies provide a microRNA signature, designated as a predictor, based upon the expression levels of 5 microRNAs. Then, we tested the predictor in a group of 60 randomly chosen women. Lastly, a proteomic study unveiled the over-expression and down-regulation of proteins differently expressed in the serum of breast cancer patients versus that of control individuals. Twenty-six microRNAs differentiate cancer tissue from healthy tissue and 16 microRNAs differentiate the serum of cancer patients from that of the control group. The tissue expression of miR-99a-5p, mir-497-5p, miR-362, and miR-1274, and the serum levels of miR-141 correlated with patient survival. Moreover, the predictor consisting of mir-125b-5p, miR-29c-3p, mir-16-5p, miR-1260, and miR-451a was able to differentiate breast cancer patients from controls. The predictor was validated in 20 new cases of breast cancer patients and tested in 60 volunteer women, assigning 11 out of 60 women to the cancer group. An association of low levels of mir-16-5p with a high content of CD44 protein in serum was found. Circulating microRNAs in serum can represent biomarkers for cancer prediction. Their clinical relevance and use of the predictor here described might be of potential importance for breast cancer prediction.
