Biomimetic Strategy Driven Deubiquitination for Enhanced Ferroptosis and Cancer Immunotherapy

ABSTRACT: Ubiquitination is the key mechanism that mediates protein stability and degradation, and the interference of ubiquitination is a promising approach to improve the therapeutic effects in cancer therapy. Here, we demonstrate that targeting inhibition of deubiquitinase OTUB1 could increase the ubiquitylation of PD-L1 and GPX4, which makes tumor cells vulnerable to the ferroptosis and immunotherapy. The therapeutic vehicles are designed through the encapsulation of metal-polyphenol network nanocomplexes (GA/Fe), doxorubicin (DOX), and siRNA targeting OTUB1 (siOTUB1) within a modified tumor cell membrane (SFD@M). Targeting delivery of SFD@M driven by tumor membrane efficiently decreases the expression of PD-L1 and GPX4 in tumor tissues. Without the protection of GPX4, GA/Fe complexes in SFD@M induce strong ferroptosis in tumor cells and initiate anti-tumor immune responses. Low expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissues due to excess ubiquitination maintain the activation of CD8+ T cells. In addition, the overexpression of PD-1 on edited tumor cell membrane regulates the function of Tregs and MDSCs, and further enhanced the anti-tumor effect of CD8+ T cells. SFD@M demonstrates efficient inhibition of tumor growth in orthotopic tumor models and cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) models in humanized NOG mice. This study employs the ubiquitination process in tumor cells to develop a biomimetic strategy that enhances ferroptosis and augments the immunotherapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment.

Synthetic lethal CRISPR screen identifies a cancer cell-intrinsic role of PD-L1 in regulation of vulnerability to ferroptosis [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Despite the remarkable success of programmed death 1/PD-L1 inhibition in tumor therapy, only a minority of patients benefits from it. Previous studies suggest the anti-PD-1 treatment failure may attribute to the intrinsic functions of PD-L1 in cancer cells. Here, we established a genome-wide CRISPR synthetic lethality screen to systematic explore the PD-L1 intrinsic function in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. Ferroptosis related genes were identified to be essential for PD-L1 deficient cell viability. Genetic and pharmacological induction of ferroptosis accelerated cell death in PD-L1 knockout cells. PD-L1 knockout cells were also highly susceptible to immunogenic ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, nuclear PD-L1 transcriptionally activated SOD2 expression to maintain redox homeostasis. Importantly, the lower ROS and ferroptosis were observed in HNSCC patients with the higher expression of PD-L1. In summary, our study illustrates that PD-L1 confers ferroptosis resistance by activating SOD2-meidated redox homeostasis in HNSCC cells, indicating an enhanced therapeutic effect can be achieved by targeting the intrinsic PD-L1 function during immunotherapy.

PD-L1 ubiquitination by MIB2 enables its translocation to the plasma membrane for tumor immune evasion

Project description:Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), a critical immune checkpoint ligand, is a transmembrane protein synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum of tumor cells and transported to the plasma membrane to interact with programmed death 1 (PD-1) expressed on T cell surface. This interaction delivers co-inhibitory signals to T cells, thereby suppressing their function and evading antitumor immunity. Most companion or complementary diagnostic devices for PD-L1 expression levels in tumor cells used in the clinic or clinical trials require membranous staining. However, the mechanism driving PD-L1 translocation to the plasma membrane after de novo synthesis is poorly understood. Herein, we showed that mind bomb homolog 2 (MIB2) is required for PD-L1 transportation from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the plasma membrane of cancer cells. MIB2 deficiency leaded to fewer PD-L1 proteins on the tumor cell surface and promotes antitumor immunity in mice.We performed a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of B16-F10 tumors from C57BL/6 syngeneic mice. Knockdown of MIB2 resulted in an increase in the percentage of CD8+ CTLs (approximately 5-fold) and CD4+/CD8+ effector/activated T cells (approximately 2-fold), indicating that MIB2 downregulation enhanced the antitumor immune activity centered on CD8+ CTLs and changed their transcriptional profile. Our findings demonstrate that non-proteolytic ubiquitination of PD-L1 by MIB2 is required for its transportation to the plasma membrane and tumor cells' immune evasion.

Conditional knock-out of Transferrin receptor 1 in Alb-cre H11-myc mice

Project description:Disrupted iron metabolism is commonly observed in various types of cancer. However, the role of iron signaling in controlling the tumor microenvironment and its clinical relevance remain unclear. We found that intra-tumoral iron signals stabilized PD-L1 protein, dampening CD8+ T cell responses and promoting tumor evasion. Blocking iron uptake decreased PD-L1 expression and enhanced CD8+ T cell infiltration, leading to attenuated tumor growth. Mechanistically, iron preserved PD-L1 protein integrity by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Iron-induced lipid peroxidation in tumors promoted the generation of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which subsequently adducted to the PD-L1 cytoplasmic domain for its carbonylation. 4-HNE-mediated carbonylation outcompeted PD-L1 ubiquitination, resulting in PD-L1 protein stabilization. Finally, we introduced a designed peptide in tumor cells to diminish PD-L1 carbonylation by competing for 4-HNE availability. This led to decreased PD-L1 expression and enhanced CD8+ T cell immunity, hindering tumor growth. Importantly, such peptide therapy showed effective outcomes in anti-PD-L1 non-responding tumors. Thus, our findings reveal alternative strategies for overcoming PD-L1-mediated immune evasion in cancer.

Next Generation Sequencing analysis using splenic cells freshly isolated from Wild Type-OT-I (WT) and OTUB1-CD4Cre-OT-I (KO) mice

Project description:CD8 T cells play a central role in immune responses against pathogens and cancer; however, CD8 T cells are typically rendered hypofunctional in tumor microenvironment due to tolerance to cancer cells and functional exhaustion. How to overcome CD8 T cell tolerance and stimulate strong antitumor responses has become an important issue for cancer immunotherapy 1,2. Here we identified the atypical deubiquitinase Otub1 as a pivotal regulator of CD8 T cell self-tolerance and antigen-stimulated responses. T cell-specific deletion of Otub1 in mice breaks CD8 T cell self-tolerance and promotes the metabolic reprograming and effector functions of activated CD8 T cells, resulting in profoundly stronger immunity against infections and tumorigenesis. The Otub1 deletion also synergizes with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in inducing tumor rejection and greatly increases the efficiency of an adoptive T cell transfer model of cancer immunotherapy. In line with these findings, the expression level of Otub1 is inversely associated with the abundance of CD8 effector T cell signature gene expression and patient survival in human melanoma. Mechanistically, Otub1 negatively regulates activation of AKT, a kinase that integrates the T cell receptor (TCR) and cytokine signals and mediates CD8 T cell metabolism and effector functions. Otub1 deficiency greatly promotes AKT activation by both the TCR signal and the immunostimulatory cytokine IL-15. Otub1 inhibits AKT ubiquitination and, thereby, suppresses its interaction with the membrane lipid phosphoinositol 3,4,5 triphosphate required for membrane translocation. These results demonstrate a ubiquitin-dependent mechanism that controls CD8 T cell responses and implicate Otub1 as a potential therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.

Ferroptotic cell death triggered by conjugated linolenic acids is mediated by ACSL1

Project description:Ferroptosis is associated with lipid hydroperoxides generated by oxidation of polyunsaturated acyl chains. Lipid hydroperoxides are reduced by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and GPX4 inhibitors induce ferroptosis. However, the therapeutic potential of triggering ferroptosis in cancer cells with polyunsaturated fatty acids is unknown. We identified conjugated linoleates including α-eleostearic acid (αESA) as novel ferroptosis inducers. αESA did not alter GPX4 activity but was incorporated into cellular lipids and promoted lipid peroxidation and cell death in diverse cancer cell types. αESA-triggered death was mediated by acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain isoform 1, which promoted αESA incorporation into neutral lipids including triacylglycerols. Interfering with triacylglycerol biosynthesis suppressed ferroptosis triggered by αESA but not by GPX4 inhibition. Orally administered tung oil, naturally rich in αESA, limited tumor growth and metastasis with transcriptional changes consistent with ferroptosis. Overall, these findings illuminate a novel approach to ferroptosis, complementary to GPX4 inhibition, with therapeutic potential.

PD-L1 ChIP-seq in MDA-MB-231 cells

Project description:Although membrane-anchored PD-L1 has been well-studied for its engagement with PD-1 on T cells to evade anti-tumor immunity, whether PD-L1 regulate oncogenic signaling pathways in tumor cells remains elusive. We found that a portion of PD-L1 could translocate to the nucleus and knockout of PD-L1 changed RNA profiles in MDA-MB-231 cells. To further explore potential role of PD-L1 in regulating gene expression in tumor cells, we performed ChIP-seq in HA tag-inserted (after the signal peptide) PD-L1 re-expressed MBA-MB-231cells (endogenous PD-L1 knockout background). Methods: HA-insert-PD-L1 was re-introduced into MDA-MB-231 PD-L1 knockout cells using lentivirus and then the infected cells were selected with puromycin to make stable subclones. ChIP experiments were performed using HA antibody (Abcam, ab9110). Conclusions: Our study indicates that nuclear PD-L1 has potential roles in regulating gene transcription. More efforts are needed to further dissect the exact working model.

CRISPR activation screens identify the SWI-SNF ATPases as suppressors of ferroptosis [NGS4182_ATAC]

Project description:Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death mechanism characterized by an accumulation of toxic lipid peroxides and membrane rupture. The glutathione dependent enzyme, GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4), prevents ferroptosis by reducing these lipid peroxides into non-toxic lipid alcohols. Ferroptosis induction by GPX4 inhibition has emerged as a vulnerability of cancer cells, thus highlighting the need to identify ferroptosis regulators that may be exploited therapeutically. Through genome-wide screens and a series of genetic, genomic, and quantitative imaging approaches, we identify the SWI-SNF ATPases BRM and BRG1 as ferroptosis suppressors. Mechanistically, they directly bind to and catalytically increase chromatin accessibility at NRF2 target loci, thus boosting NRF2 transcriptional output. This primes cells to counter lipid peroxidation and confers resistance to GPX4 inhibition and ferroptosis. Importantly, we demonstrate that the BRM/BRG1-ferroptosis connection can be leveraged to enhance the paralog dependency of BRG1-mutant lung cancer cells on BRM, especially in lines that are less sensitive to BRM inhibition or degradation. Our data reveal ferroptosis induction as a potential avenue for broadening the efficacy of BRM degraders/inhibitors and define a specific genetic context for exploiting GPX4 dependency.
