MAIT cell enrichment in Lynch syndrome is associated with immune surveillance and colorectal cancer risk

ABSTRACT: Tissue microenvironment characteristics associated with elevated risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Lynch syndrome (LS) are poorly characterized. We applied the multimodal single cell sequencing platform ExCITE-seq to define the colonic cellular composition and transcriptome of LS carriers with and without a history of CRC compared with general population controls. Our analysis revealed widespread remodeling in LS that included striking expansion of epithelial stem and progenitor cells, and loss of fibroblast populations. Although clonally expanded and terminally exhausted CD8 T cells were more prominent in individuals with a history of CRC, LS carriers without CRC displayed enrichment of cytotoxic mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells associated with CCL20 expression in epithelial progenitors, validated by orthogonal techniques including demonstration of a protective function in a murine model of CRC. These findings highlight cellular features that distinguish LS carriers and suggest a protective role of MAIT cells in human CRC surveillance.

Genomic Analysis of T cell Receptors Provides Novel Insights of Cancer Immunology in Lynch Syndrome Carriers

Project description:Lynch Syndrome (LS) provides the perfect context to understand DNA mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) carcinogenesis. LS carriers develop MMRd tumors with high neoantigen loads, which are shared by different LS tumors and recognized by T-cell receptors (TCRs) to trigger adaptive immunity. However, the TCR landscape in LS remains unexplored. Therefore, we performed TCR-sequencing in 277 blood samples from 102 LS cancer survivors, 130 LS previvors, and 45 controls, as well as three LS colorectal cancers, and 11 pre-cancers. For the first time, we found that up to 41% of the most expanded TCRβs from colorectal cancers and pre-cancers are detectable in the blood of several LS carriers, whereas these TCRs have minimal or no expansion in the blood of controls. Additionally, we developed a classification model that distinguishes LS carriers from controls with excellent performance using a set of 1,114 TCRβs that associates with all LS carriers, regardless of MMRd cancer history, and a set of 2231TCRβs that associates with LS previvors who have never developed cancer. This study is the first to describe circulating TCRβs that recognize neoantigens derived from colorectal cancers and pre-cancers in LS carriers, moving the field towards the identification of a blood based TCRβ cancer biomarker.

Systemic circulating microRNA landscape in Lynch syndrome

Project description:Purpose: Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome. Systemic circulating microRNA expression levels (c-miRnome) in LS carriers have not been characterized previously. This exploratory study characterized the systemic c-miRnomes of LS carriers with or without cancer and compared it to c-miRnomes of sporadic rectal cancer patients and healthy controls. Methods: Blood serum samples of Lynch syndrome carriers without (n=81) or with (n=13) cancer, sporadic rectal cancer patients (n=24) and healthy controls (n=37) were sequenced with NextSeq500. FastQC was used for quality controls. High quality samples with Phred score >25 were selected for downstream analysis. FastX-toolkit was used for trimming and filtering. Mapping of the reads to miRbase (v.22) was conducted with Bowtie with v-mode and best strata parameters for single-end data. Only the uniquely mapped reads were selected for differential expression (DE) analysis. Dimension reduction analysis was conducted with t-SNE. Target gene prediction and pathway analysis was performed with mirWalk and validated with COSMIC-database. Results: An average of 3.2M reads pers sample was achieved. We identified a pool of 228 c-miRs common to all study groups that was used to setup the design matrix for DE analysis. We identified a c-miRnome of 40 DE c-miRs that discern healthy LS carriers from healthy controls but could not distinguish them from cancer patients with or without LS. Our results suggested that hereditary and sporadic carcinogenesis share common biological pathways and alterations in these pathways generate a c-miR response, which can be used to track oncogenic stress at cancer-free state in LS. Conclusion: Our results show that c-miRs hold diagnostic and predictive potential in molecular profiling of human cancers.

Multi-omic colon organoid analysis highlight MSH4 as a marker of Lynch syndrome and microsatellite instability [methylation array]

Project description:Approximately 15% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients present with high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H), which is driven by defective mismatch repair (dMMR). While about 20% of MSI-H tumors are associated with the hereditary condition, Lynch syndrome (LS), the majority develop through non-hereditary mechanisms. In recent years, the molecular processes underpinning tumor development in LS patients has been debated, with the longstanding view that dMMR is a secondary process in CRC development of LS patients being questioned. Here, we performed the first multi-omic analysis of normal colon organoids developed from LS and healthy patients to address questions regarding the development of dMMR in LS colon epithelial cells from cancer-free individuals.

HNPCC-Sys: Molecular Characterization of Lynch Syndromes

Project description:<p>Lynch Syndrome (LS) tumors are characterized by constitutional mutations in DNA mismatch-repair genes. Colorectal cancers (CRCs) are the predominant tumor type in patients with LS. Here, we have used whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of LS- CRC to find similarities and differences of mutation and gene expression characteristics between LS-CRC and sporadic CRC (data provided by <a href="./study.cgi?study_id=phs000178">TCGA via dbGaP</a>). Furthermore, we were interested in the molecular heterogeneity of LS-CRC. We have performed a molecular characterization of LS-tumors and of matched tumor-distant reference colonic mucosa based on whole-genome DNA- and RNA-sequencing analyses. Our data indicates the existence of two subgroups of LS-CRCs, G1 and G2, where G1 tumors show a higher number of somatic mutations, higher microsatellite slippage and a different mutation spectrum.</p>

Expression of immune-related genes in the normal colorectal mucosa and colorectal carcinoma samples from Lynch syndrome individuals

Project description:Colorectal carcinomas arising in the context of Lynch syndrome, the most common inherited cancer syndrome, typically show deficiency of the DNA MMR (mismatch repair) system. Lack of functional MMR leads to accumulation of frameshift mutations at micosatellites (microsatellite instability, MSI). High load of highly immunogenic tumor-specific frameshift neoantigens results in strong immune response against Lynch syndrome MSI cancers. Previous studies have shown systemic immune responses against frameshift neoantigens in Lynch syndrome carriers long before tumor manifestation. In the present study, we analyzed the immune profile of normal colorectal mucosa in Lynch syndrome carriers without current or previous cancer history and in Lynch syndrome colorectal cancer patients, as well as of Lynch syndrome colorectal carcinomas. The unsupervised cluster analysis of gene expression data revealed a sharp differentiation between normal mucosa from Lynch syndrome individuals with and without manifest cancer as well as between normal mucosa in general and Lynch syndrome cancer tissue. Deconvolution analysis for predicting the prevalence of immune cell population among the three groups revealed 10 out of 14 investigated populations to be significantly different between the three tissue types (FDR=10%). In contrast to normal mucosa samples, tumor tissue showed overrepresentation of immune-suppressive cell populations, such as regulatory T cells and neutrophils. Taken together with the quantitative T cell density analysis on the basis of immunohistochemical T cell stainings, our data show strong immune infiltration of the normal colorectal mucosa in Lynch syndrome individuals even in the absence of a manifest cancer.

Naproxen Chemoprevention Promotes Immune Activation In Lynch Syndrome Colorectal Mucosa

Project description:Lynch syndrome (LS) patients are at markedly increased risk for colorectal cancer. It is being increasingly recognized that the immune system plays an essential role in LS tumor development. Therefore, immune interception strategies are emerging as a novel way to prevent cancer in LS. This phase Ib, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial and a co-clinical trial using a LS mouse model and patient-derived organoids aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as to discover novel molecular pathways involved in the activity of Naproxen as chemoprevention in LS patients.

Comprehensive constitutional genetic and epigenetic characterization of Lynch-like individuals [Blood]

Project description:Background: In ~50% of Lynch syndrome (LS)-suspected patients (also called Lynch-like syndrome, LLS), the causal mechanism for cancer predisposition remains unknown. Our aim was to elucidate the constitutional basis of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in LLS patients throughout a comprehensive genetic and epigenetic analysis. Methods: One hundred and fifteen LLS patients harboring MMR deficient tumors and no pathogenic germline MMR gene mutations were included in this study. Mutational analysis of 26 colorectal cancer associated genes was performed by using a customized multigene panel and massively parallel sequencing. Pathogenicity of MMR variants was assessed by mRNA analysis and multifactorial likelihood calculations. Genome-wide methylome analysis was perfomed by using the Infinium HumanMethylation450K BeadChip. Results: The multigene panel analysis revealed the presence of two MMR gene truncating mutations not found in previous analysis. Of a total of 15 MMR variants of unknown significance identified, five - present in 6 unrelated individuals- were reclassified as pathogenic. In addition, 13 predicted deleterious variants in other CRC-predisposing genes (MSH3, MUTYH, POLD1, APC, EPCAM, BUB1, FAN1, EXO1 or PSM1) were found in 12 probands. Methylome analysis detected one constitutional MLH1 epimutation in an individual diagnosed with CRC at age 42, but no additional differentially methylated regions were identified in LLS compared to LS patients or healthy individuals. Conclusions: In conclusion, the use of an ad-hoc designed gene panel combined with pathogenicity assessment of variants allows the identification of deleterious MMR mutations as well as new LLS candidate genes. Moreover, constitutional epimutations in non-LS-associated genes are not responsible for the MMR-deficient phenotype observed in LLS patients.

Identification and Validation of Frameshift Neoantigens for Mismatch-Repair Deficient Lynch Syndrome

Project description:Lynch syndrome (LS) patients develop DNA mismatch repair deficient tumors which generate high loads of neoantigens (neoAgs), thus constituting a well-defined population that can benefit from cancer immune-interception strategies, including neoantigen-based vaccines. Using paired whole-exome sequencing and mRNAseq of colorectal cancers (CRC) (n=13) and pre-cancers (n=61) from our LS patient cohort (N=46), we performed in-silico prediction and immunogenicity ranking of highly recurrent frameshift-neoags, followed by their in-vitro validation. We described the somatic mutation landscape in all cancers and pre-cancers, and showed that mutation burden is positively correlated with neoAgs load. Furthermore, our in-vitro validation showed a 65% validation rate of our top 100 predicted neoags. Consistent with neoAgs burden, our transcriptomic results revealed increased infiltration of CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells in microsatellite unstable samples. Overall, our neoAgs catalog and all other findings, improve our understanding of cancer development in LS and guide us towards the advancement of immunoprevention vaccine strategies.
