Targeting IGF2BP1 Enhances Immune Checkpoint Therapy in High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer [polyA RNA-seq, unsorted co-cultures]

ABSTRACT: High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) accounts for the vast majority (>70%) of ovarian cancer-associated deaths with minor therapeutic improvements. Among four proposed molecular subtypes of HGSC, the C5 subtype is distinguished by high proliferative potential and elevated immune evasion which is indicated by an unfavorable MHCI/PD-L1 ratio. However, the underlying key drivers of the C5 subtype remained elusive. Here we identify oncofetal RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) promoting the immune evasion of C5-HGSC. The IGF2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) enhances expression of the E3 ligase MDM2, which induces degradation of IRF1 resulting in reduced MHCI presentation. Concomitantly, IGF2BP1 elevates PD-L1 synthesis by impairing its microRNA-directed silencing. This shifts the intra-tumoral MHCI/PD-L1 ratio, limits immune cell infiltration, and promotes evasion of tumor cells from cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) in human and syngeneic mouse models of ovarian cancer. The small molecule inhibitor BTYNB impairs IGF2BP1-directed regulation of MHCI/PD-L1 ratios, promotes CTL-directed killing as well as activation, and strongly synergizes with immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) by Nivolumab in vitro and in vivo.

IGF2BP1 is a targetable SRC/MAPK-dependent driver of invasive growth in ovarian cancer

Project description:We identified IGF2BP1 as a marker of the C5 molecular subtype of high-grade ovarian carcinoma (HG-SOC). IGF2BP1 promotes SRC activity and ERK2 expression enhancing the tolerance towards SRC- and MEK-directed inhibitors saracatinib and selumetib. Combination treatment overcomes IGF2BP1-promoted resistance.

Gene-expression profiles of PD-L1-affected CD8+ T cells

Project description:Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is known to suppress immune system and to be an unfavorable prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the function of PD-L1 in peritoneal dissemination. Tumor cell lysis by CTLs was attenuated when PD-L1 on tumor cells was overexpressed and promoted when it was silenced. PD-L1 overexpression also inhibited gathering and degranulation of CTLs. Gene expression profile of mouse CTLs caused by PD-L1-overexpressing ovarian cancer was related to human CTLs exhaustion. In mouse ovarian cancer dissemination models, depleting PD-L1 expression on tumor cells resulted in inhibited tumor growth in the peritoneal cavity and prolonged survival. Restoring immune function by inhibiting immune-suppressive factors such as PD-L1 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for peritoneal dissemination. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in OT-1 mouse CD8+ T cells that were co-incubated with OVA peptide-loaded ID8 mouse ovarian cancer cell lines. CTLs from 4 mice were devided into 2 groups, and co-incubated with PD-L1-overexpressed ID8 or PD-L1-depleted ID8.

Gene-expression profiles of ascites-cytology-positive ovarian cancer

Project description:Ovarian cancer often progresses by disseminating to the peritoneal cavity, but how the tumor cells evade host immunity during this process is poorly understood. Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is known to suppress immune system and to be an unfavorable prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the function of PD-L1 in peritoneal dissemination. Positive cytology in ascites was a significant poor prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. Microarray profiles of cytology-positive cases showed significant correlations with Gene Ontology terms related to immune system process. Microarray and immunohistochemistry in human ovarian cancer revealed significant correlation between PD-L1 expression and positive cytology. PD-L1 expression on mouse ovarian cancer cells was induced upon encountering lymphocytes in the course of peritoneal spread in vivo and upon co-culturing with lymphocytes in vitro. Tumor cell lysis by CTLs was attenuated when PD-L1 was overexpressed and promoted when it was silenced. PD-L1 overexpression also inhibited gathering and degranulation of CTLs. In mouse ovarian cancer dissemination models, depleting PD-L1 expression on tumor cells resulted in inhibited tumor growth in the peritoneal cavity and prolonged survival. Restoring immune function by inhibiting immune-suppressive factors such as PD-L1 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for peritoneal dissemination. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in human ovarian cancer tissue from ascites-cytology-positive or -negative patients.
