Epigenetic determinants of an immune-evasive phenotype in HER2-low triple-negative breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Identifying molecular drivers of aggressive biology is crucial for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). While HER2-low expression predicts response to novel antibody-drug conjugates, its impact on TNBC biology remains unclear. To address this, we generated genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of 58 patients from a multi-institutional TNBC cohort treated at Duke, UCLA, and Scripps Health, integrating our data with three independent cohorts: The Cancer Genome Atlas, the Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network – Breast, and the I-SPY2 clinical trial. TNBC cases were classified as HER2-zero (IHC 0) or HER2-low (IHC 1+ or 2+, ISH non-amplified), and their genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes were compared. Among the 506 patients analyzed (n=288 HER2-low; n=218 HER2-zero), HER2-low TNBC exhibited a significantly lower tumor mutational burden (P = 0.02) and consistent hypermethylation of immune-related genes, particularly HLA. Transcriptomic analyses revealed significant downregulation of immune response pathways, including leukocyte activation, T-cell signaling, and adaptive immunity (adjusted P < 0.001), alongside reduced immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (P = 0.002). Notably, higher expression of five immune-related genes most downregulated in HER2-low TNBC correlated with improved relapse-free (HR = 0.52; P < 0.001) and overall survival (HR = 0.36; P < 0.001). These findings highlight distinct molecular features of HER2-low TNBC, suggesting an immune-evasive phenotype that should be considered when selecting therapies for this challenging subtype.

SPP1+ macrophages in HR+ breast cancer are associated with tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes.

Project description:Breast cancer, categorised into hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-positive (HER2+), and triple-negative (TNBC) subtypes, exhibits varied outcomes based on the number of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Increased TIL levels are associated with better outcomes in HER2+ and TNBC, while HR+ individuals with high TIL levels show shorter survival but greater neoadjuvant chemotherapy response. To explore the divergent roles of TIL levels across various subtypes and their effect on immune cell composition, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing on 31 patients with breast cancer. HR+ breast cancer with high TIL levels (TIL-high) revealed increased SPP1+ macrophages, increased SPP1 expression in other monocytes/macrophages (mono/macro) subgroups, and enriched pathways associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in mono/macro. Moreover, cell–cell interaction analyses revealed enhanced SPP1, MIF, and FN1 signalling in the interaction between SPP1+ macrophages and T-cells in TIL-high HR+ breast cancer. Spatial transcriptomics data highlighted the close proximity of SPP1+ macrophages, CD8+ T-cells, and CD4+ T-cells in TIL-high HR+ breast cancer. Our findings unveil the novel influence of SPP1+ macrophages on T-cells in TIL-high HR+ breast cancer, potentially explaining the poor prognosis and offering insights for targeted interventions.

Neoadjuvant eribulin in HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer (SOLTI-1007-NeoEribulin): a multicenter, two-cohort, non-randomized phase II trial

Project description:Eribulin prolongs overall survival in patients with pre-treated advanced breast cancer. However, no biomarker exists to prospectively select patients who will benefit the most from this drug. SOLTI-1007-NeoEribulin is a phase II, open-label, two cohort, exploratory pharmacogenomic study in patients with clinical stage I-II HER2-negative breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant eribulin monotherapy treatment. Primary objective was to explore the association of baseline tumor gene expression with pathological complete response in the breast (pCRB) at surgery. Key secondary objectives were pCRB rates in all patients and according to HR status, gene expression changes during treatment and safety. 101 hormonal receptor-positive (HR+) and 73 triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients were recruited. The pCRB rates were 6.4% in all patients, 4.9% in HR+ disease and 8.2% in TNBC. The TNBC cohort was interrupted due to a progression disease rate of 30.1%. The pCRB rates differed according to intrinsic subtypes: 28.6% in HER2-E, 11.1% in Normal-like, 7.9% in Luminal B, 5.9% in Basal-like and 0% in Luminal A (HER2-E vs. others odds ratio=7.05, 95% CI 1.80-42.14; p-value = 0.032). Intrinsic subtype changes at surgery occurred in 33.3% of cases, mostly (49.0%) Luminal B converting to Luminal A or Basal-likes converting to Normal-like. Baseline tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were significantly associated with pCR. Eribulin showed a good safety profile with a low response and pCRB rates. Patients with HER2-negative disease with a HER2-enriched profile may benefit the most from eribulin. In addition, significant biological activity of eribulin is observed in Luminal B and Basal-like subtypes.

SNX10 deficiency confers resistance to anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates via regulating endosomal trafficking

Project description:Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly developing therapeutic approach in cancer treatment that has shown remarkable efficacy in breast cancer. Despite the promising efficacy of anti-HER2 ADCs, many patients are still experiencing disease progression under treatment. Here, by analyzing the transcriptome data from patient-derived organoid models, I-SPY2 trial, and resistant cell lines, we identified that SNX10 deficiency conferred anti-HER2 ADCs resistance. Low levels of SNX10 attenuated HER2 recycling and promoted HER2 trafficking into lysosomes. We also noticed that the lack of interaction between SNX10 and the transcription factor STAT1 inhibited its activation, while STAT1 binds to the promoter region of RAB11A and regulates its transcription. Thus, the lack of SNX10 inhibited HER2 recycling by downregulating RAB11A, decreased cell-surface HER2, and caused anti-HER2 ADC resistance.

A Clinically Relevant Gene Signature in Triple-Negative and Basal-Like Breast Cancer

Project description:Current prognostic gene expression profiles for breast cancer mainly reflect proliferation status and are most useful in ER-positive cancers. Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are clinically heterogeneous, and prognostic markers and biology-based therapies are needed to better treat this disease. We assembled Affymetrix gene expression data for 579 TNBCs and performed unsupervised analysis to define metagenes that distinguish molecular subsets within TNBC. We used n=394 cases for discovery and n=185 cases for validation. Sixteen metagenes emerged that identified basal-like, apocrine and claudin-low molecular subtypes, or reflected various non-neoplastic cell populations including immune cells, blood, adipocytes, stroma, angiogenesis, and inflammation within the cancer. The expressions of these metagenes were correlated with survival and multivariate analysis was performed including routine clinical and pathological variables. 73% of TNBCs displayed basal-like molecular subtype that correlated with high histological grade and younger age. Survival of basal-like TNBC was not different from non-basal-like TNBC. High expression of immune cell metagenes was associated with good and high expression of inflammation and angiogenesis-related metagenes were associated with poor prognosis. A ratio of high B-cell and low IL-8 metagenes identified 32% of TNBC with good prognosis (HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.22-0.61; P<0.001) and was the only significant predictor in multivariate analysis including routine clincopathological variables. We describe a ratio of high B-cell presence and low IL-8 activity as a powerful new prognostic marker for TNBC. Inhibition of the IL-8 pathway also represents an attractive novel therapeutic target for this disease.

MAP3K1 mutations confer tumor immune heterogeneity in hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer

Project description:Hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, the most common type of breast cancer, is facing challenges such as endocrine therapy resistance and distant relapse. Immunotherapy has shown progress in treating triple-negative breast cancer, but immunological research on HR+/HER2- breast cancer is still in its early stages. Here, we performed a multi-omics analysis of a large cohort of HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients (n = 351) and revealed that HR+/HER2- breast cancer possessed a highly heterogeneous tumor immune microenvironment. Notably, the immunological heterogeneity of HR+/HER2- breast cancer was related to MAP3K1 mutation and we validated experimentally that MAP3K1 mutation could attenuate CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, MAP3K1 mutation suppressed MHC-I-mediated tumor antigen presentation through promoting the degradation of antigen peptide transporter 1/2 (TAP1/2) mRNAs, thereby driving tumor immune escape. In preclinical models, the postbiotics tyramine could reverse the MAP3K1 mutation-induced MHC-I reduction, thereby augmenting the efficacy of immunotherapy.
