Remodeling of Suppressive Melanoma Microenvironments by Particle-Mediated Modulation of the STING/IL-6/PD-L1 Axis Improves Tumor Immunity and Survival

ABSTRACT: Despite the considerable success of clinically approved immune-based therapies for treating advanced melanoma, a significant fraction of these patients are not responsive due to mechanisms engaged by the tumor to evade the immune system. Here we report the surprising finding that a clinically validated and tunable self-therapeutic ultrasmall silica nanoparticle prolongs survival in a highly resistant melanoma model in combination with IL-6 and PD-L1 inhibition through its activation of the STING/IL-6/PD-L1 axis and reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment (TME) towards a proinflammatory phenotype. Induction of significant cytotoxic and anti-tumor inflammatory responses lead to differential activation of immune cell populations in a model- and CD8-dependent manner via Type I/II interferon pathways after systemic particle injection. Importantly, these immunostimulatory responses accompany significant reductions in cell populations and receptors driving suppressive activities. Mechanistic insights highlight the potential clinical utility of this platform to maximize anti-tumor immunity and efficacy by subverting suppressive components in the TME.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:Disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interaction rejuvenates antitumor immunity. Clinical successes by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 binding have grown across wide-ranging cancer histologies, but innate therapy resistance is evident in the majority of treated patients1. Cancer cells can express robust surface levels of PD-L1 to tolerize tumor-specific T cells, but regulation of PD-L1 protein levels in the cancer cell is poorly understood. Quasi-mesenchymal tumor cells up-regulate PD-L1/L2 and induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment, including expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells and exclusion of CD8+ T-cell infiltration2. Targeted therapy, including MAPK inhibitor therapy in melanoma, leads to quasi-mesenchymal transitions and resistance3, and both MAPK inhibitor treatment and mesenchymal signatures are associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance4,5. Here we identify ITCH as an E3 ligase that downregulates tumor cell-surface PD-L1/L2 in PD-L1/L2-high cancer cells, including MAPK inhibitor-resistant melanoma, and suppresses acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance in and only in immune-competent mice. ITCH interacts with and poly-ubiquitinates PD-L1/L2, and ITCH deficiency increases cell-surface PD-L1/L2 expression and reduces T cell activation. Mouse melanoma tumors grow faster with Itch knockdown only in syngeneic hosts but not in immune-deficient mice. MAPK inhibitor therapy induces tumor cell-surface PD-L1 expression in murine melanoma, recapitulating the responses of clinical melanoma3, and this induction is more robust with Itch knockdown. Notably, suppression of ITCH expression first elicits a shift toward an immune-suppressive microenvironment and then accelerates resistance development. These findings collectively identify ITCH as a critical negative regulator of PD-L1 tumor cell-surface expression and provide insights into previously unexplained role of PD-L1 in adaptive resistance to therapy.

β3-adrenergic receptor on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes sustains IFN-γ-dependent PD-L1 expression and impairs anti-tumor immunity in a murine model of neuroblastoma

Project description:A distinctive feature of neuroblastoma (NB) tumors is their ability to secrete neuroendocrine mediators such as catecholamines, which through β-adrenergic receptors ligation may influence different signaling pathways in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we aimed to investigate whether the β3-AR modulation affected the host immune system response to NB tumor. In a murine syngeneic NB model, pharmacological β3-AR antagonism lead to an immune response reactivation and reduced tumor growth through the involvement of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling axis. Indeed, β3-AR blockade on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) dampened their ability to secrete IFN-γ and reduced PD-L1 expression on NB tumor cells, preventing the establishment of an immune suppressive TME. Furthermore, genomic analysis on NB patients showed that high ADRB3 gene expression correlates with poor clinical outcome. Overall, these findings indicate that β3-AR is able to sustain an immune suppressive TME in NB via PD-1/PD-L1 crosstalk, and suggest that targeting β-adrenergic signaling in NB could represent a new strategy to overcome immune escape gateway.

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.

Proteomics analysis of moncytes treated with the HDAC6 inhibitor ITF3756

Project description:Tumor immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, particularly through the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the PD-L1/PD-1 axis. While PD-L1 expression on tumor cells has been established as a predictive biomarker for therapeutic response, emerging evidence highlights the significance of PD-L1 expression on myeloid cells in the periphery and in the tumor microenvironment (TME). This study investigates the effects of the selective HDAC6 inhibitor ITF3756 on PD-L1 expression and on the immune functionality of monocytes stimulated with the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α.

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.

High Response Rate to Anti PD-1 Therapy in Desmoplastic Melanoma

Project description:<p>Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of melanoma characterized by dense fibrous stroma, resistance to chemotherapy and a lack of actionable driver mutations, but is highly associated with ultraviolet light DNA damage. We analysed 60 patients with advanced DM treated with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) blocking antibody therapy. Objective tumor responses were observed in 42 of the 60 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval 57-81%), including 19 patients (32% overall) with a complete response. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a high mutational load and frequent NF-1 mutations (14 out of 17 cases). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis from 19 DM and 13 non-DM revealed a higher percentage of PD-L1 positive cells in the tumor parenchyma in DM (p = 0.04), highly associated with increased CD8 density and PD-L1 expression in the tumor invasive margin. Therefore, patients with advanced DM derive significant clinical benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy despite being a cancer defined by its dense desmoplastic fibrous stroma. The benefit is likely derived from the high mutational burden and a frequent pre-existing adaptive immune response limited by PD-L1 expression.</p>

Therapeutic Targeting of the p300/CBP Bromodomain Enhances the Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy

Project description:Blockade of immune checkpoints, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), has shown promise in cancer treatment; however, clinical response remains limited in many cancer types. Our previous research demonstrated that p300/CBP mediates the acetylation of the PD-L1 promoter, regulating PD-L1 expression. In this study, we further investigated the role of the p300/CBP bromodomain in regulating PD-L1 expression using CCS1477, a selective bromodomain inhibitor developed by our team. We found that the p300/CBP bromodomain is essential for H3K27 acetylation at PD-L1 enhancers. Inhibiting this modification significantly reduced enhancer activity and PD-L1 transcription, including exosomal PD-L1, which has been implicated as key contributors to resistance against PD-L1 blockade therapy in various cancers. Furthermore, CCS1477 treatment resulted in a marked reduction of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) by inhibiting key cytokines such as IL6, CSF1, and CSF2, which are crucial for MDSC differentiation and recruitment. By reducing PD-L1 expression and modulating the immunosuppressive TME, CCS1477 creates a more favorable environment for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, significantly enhancing the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Notably, these effects were observed in both prostate cancer and melanoma models, underscoring the broad therapeutic potential of p300/CBP bromodomain inhibition in improving ICB outcomes.

Combined PD-L1/TGFb blockade allows expansion and differentiation of stem cell-like CD8 T cells in immune excluded tumors

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8 T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

Expression data in PD-L1 positive and PD-L1 negative human melanoma samples

Project description:Blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 immunosuppressive pathway has shown promise in the treatment of certain cancers including melanoma. This study investigates differences in the gene expression profiles of human melanomas that do or do not display the immunosuppressive protein PD-L1. Further understanding of genes expressed within the tumor microenvironment of PD-L1+ tumors may lead to improved rationally designed treatments. Gene expression profiling was performed on total RNA extracted by laser capture microdissection from 11 archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) melanoma specimens, 5 of which were PD-L1 positive and 6 PD-L1 negative. Details of the design, and the gene signatures found are given in the paper associated with this GEO Series: Janis M. Taube, Geoffrey D. Young, Tracee L. McMiller, Shuming Chen, January T. Salas, Theresa S. Pritchard, Haiying Xu, Alan K. Meeker, Jinshui Fan, Chris Cheadle, Alan E. Berger, Drew M. Pardoll, and Suzanne L.
