Tumor-intrinsic expression of signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) contributes to the suppression of anti-tumor immune responses [RNA_CD172KO]

ABSTRACT: Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is a well-characterized inhibitory receptor expressed on myeloid immune cells. We and others have recently discovered that human and mouse melanoma cells express high levels of SIRPα. However, whether and how melanoma-intrinsic SIRPα contributes to tumor progression and anti-tumor immunity remains underexplored. Here, we identify a novel role of tumor-intrinsic SIRPα in suppressing anti-tumor immune recruitment and activation. Genetic deletion of SIRPα in melanoma cells enhanced tumor control and increased infiltration of immune cells into the tumor. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that loss of melanoma cell-intrinsic SIRPα leads to upregulation of C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) expression in both human and mouse melanoma cells. Notably, knockdown of Cxcl10 in SIRPα-deficient melanoma cells partially rescued tumor growth and reduced CD8+ T cell infiltration, recapitulating the phenotype observed in SIRPα-expressing tumors. These findings indicate that tumor cell-intrinsic SIRPα suppresses anti-tumor immunity by inhibiting Cxcl10 expression, thereby compromising T cell recruitment to the tumor sites. Thus, our work uncovers a previously unrecognized mechanism by which melanoma cell-intrinsic SIRPα suppresses anti-tumor immunity and highlights the therapeutic potential of silencing SIRPα to enhance anti-tumor immune cell infiltration and promote T cell-mediated tumor control. We envision that SIRPα silencing as a therapeutic strategy that could be applied to other cancer types that express SIRPα.

TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma induce CXCL10 from melanoma

Project description:Clinical approaches to treat advanced melanoma include immune therapies, whose benefits depend on tumor-reactive T-cells to infiltrate metastases. However, most tumors lack significant immune infiltration prior to therapy, and some immune therapies are hindered by a persistent lack of immune cell infiltration. CXCL10 has been implicated as a critical chemokine supporting T-cell migration into tumors; thus agents that induce CXCL10 in tumors may improve patient responses to systemic immune therapy. We find that melanoma cells treated with TLR2/6 agonists (MALP-2 or FSL-1) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) upregulate CXCL10 production, when compared to IFNgamma treatment alone or no treatment. Gene profiling of melanoma cells lines treated with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma demonstrate that a selective profile of genes are induced which may be favorable for promoting immune cell infiltration of tumors. TLR2 and TLR6 are widely expressed on human melanoma cells, and treatment of melanoma cells with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma does not hinder melanoma cell apoptosis or promote proliferation. Furthermore, melanoma cells from surgically resected patient tumors upregulate CXCL10 production after treatment with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma when compared to treatment with either agent alone. Collectively, these data identify TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma as a novel target for promoting CXCL10 production directly from melanoma cells. Samples from four human melanoma cell lines, VMM1 (n=6), DM13 (n=6), DM93 (n=6) and VMM39 (n=6), were treated with media alone, MALP-2 (TLR2/6 agonist), FSL-1 (TLR2/6 agonist), IFNgamma alone, MALP-2 and IFNgamma, or FSL-1 and IFNgamma.

Immunologic Effects of a Peptide Vaccine with Intralesional IFNgamma For Treatment of Melanoma

Project description:Introduction: Optimal approaches to induce T-cell infiltration of tumors are not known. Chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 support effector T-cell recruitment, and may be induced by IFNgamma. This study tests the hypothesis that intratumoral administration of IFNgamma will induce CXCL9-11, and will induce T-cell recruitment and anti-tumor immune signatures in melanoma metastases. Patients and Methods: Nine eligible patients were immunized with a vaccine comprised of 12 class I MHC-restricted melanoma peptides (12MP) and received IFNgamma intratumorally. Effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME) were evaluated in sequential tumor biopsies. Adverse events (AE; CTCAE v4) were recorded. T-cell responses to vaccination were assessed in peripheral blood (PBMC) by IFNgamma ELIspot assay. Tumor biopsies were evaluated for immune cell infiltration, chemokine protein expression and gene expression. Results: Vaccination and intratumoral administration of IFNgamma were well tolerated. Circulating T-cell responses to vaccine were detected in 6 of 9 patients. IFNgamma increased production of chemokines CXCL10, CXCL11, and CCL5 in patient tumors. Neither vaccination alone nor the addition of IFNgamma promoted immune cell infiltration or induced anti-tumor immune gene signatures. Conclusion: The cancer vaccine did not significantly increase T-cell infiltration of tumors. This study provides intriguing findings highlighting some of the limitations of intratumoral IFNgamma treatment. Although IFNgamma is pivotal in anti-tumor immunity, single intratumoral injection may induce secondary immune regulation that paradoxically limits immune infiltration and effector functions. Therefore, alternate dosing strategies or additional combinatorial treatments may be needed to optimally promote trafficking and retention of T-cells in tumor, which merit further study.

Combined BRAF, MEK and CDK4/6 inhibition depletes intratumoral immune-potentiating myeloid populations in melanoma

Project description:Combined inhibition of BRAF, MEK and CDK4/6 is currently under evaluation in clinical trials for patients with melanoma harboring a BRAFV600 mutation. While this triple therapy has potent tumor-intrinsic effects, the impact of this combination on anti-tumor immunity remains unexplored. Here, using a syngeneic BrafV600ECdkn2a-/-Pten-/- melanoma model, we demonstrated that triple therapy promoted durable tumor control through tumor-intrinsic mechanisms and promoted immunogenic cell death and T-cell infiltration. Despite this, tumors treated with triple therapy were unresponsive to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Flow cytometric and single-cell RNA-seq analyses of tumor-infiltrating immune populations revealed that triple therapy markedly depleted pro-inflammatory macrophages and cross-priming CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs), the absence of which correlated with poor overall survival and clinical responses to ICB in melanoma patients. Indeed, immune populations isolated from tumors of mice treated with triple therapy failed to stimulate T-cell responses ex vivo. While combined BRAF, MEK and CDK4/6 inhibition demonstrates favourable tumor-intrinsic activity, these data suggest that collateral effects on tumor-infiltrating myeloid populations may impact on anti-tumor immunity. These findings have important implications for the design of combination strategies and clinical trials that incorporate BRAF, MEK and CDK4/6 inhibition with immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with melanoma.

G9a Epigenetically Suppresses CXCL10 Expression and Inhibits Anti-tumor Immunity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Project description:The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, characterized by limited immune cell infiltration, represents a major challenge for effective immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Epigenetic dysregulation has emerged as a critical mechanism underlying tumorigenesis and progression; however, the specific epigenetic mechanisms governing immune infiltration remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of G9a, a histone methyltransferase catalyzing H3K9 methylation, in modulating anti-tumor immunity in HCC. Bioinformatic analysis of human HCC datasets revealed a significant inverse correlation between G9a expression and T cell infiltration. Genetic ablation of G9a in hepatoma cells markedly enhanced CD8+ T cell recruitment and activation in immunocompetent mouse models. Through RNA sequencing and functional validation, we identified CXCL10 as a key chemokine directly repressed by G9a. Mechanistically, G9a mediates H3K9 dimethylation at the CXCL10 promoter, and G9a deletion or inhibition significantly reduced this repressive mark, resulting in increased CXCL10 expression and secretion. Importantly, neutralization of CXCL10 abolished G9a inhibition-induced enhancement of CD8+ T cell migration. In preclinical models, pharmacological inhibition of G9a with UNC0642 not only suppressed tumor growth by promoting T cell infiltration but also synergized with anti-PD1 therapy to achieve superior therapeutic efficacy. These findings establish G9a as an epigenetic regulator of anti-tumor immunity in HCC and provide evidence for combining G9a inhibitors with immune checkpoint blockade to improve outcomes for HCC patients who receiving immunotherapy.

Setdb1-loss induces type-I interferons and immune clearance of melanoma (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Despite recent advances in the treatment of melanoma, many patients with metastatic disease still succumb to their disease. To identify tumor-intrinsic modulators of immunity to melanoma, we performed a whole-genome CRISPR screen in melanoma and identified multiple components of the HUSH complex, including Setdb1, as hits. We found that loss of Setdb1 leads to increased immunogenicity and complete tumor clearance in a CD8+ T-cell dependent manner. Mechanistically, loss of Setdb1 causes de-repression of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in melanoma cells and triggers tumor-cell intrinsic type-I interferon signaling, upregulation of MHC-I expression, and increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration. Furthermore, spontaneous immune clearance observed in Setdb1-/- tumors results in subsequent protection from other ERV-expressing tumor lines, supporting the functional anti-tumor role of ERV-specific CD8+ T-cells found in the Setdb1-/- microenvironment. Blocking the type-I interferon receptor in mice grafted with Setdb1-/- tumors decreases immunogenicity by decreasing MHC-I expression, leading to decreased T-cell infiltration and increased melanoma growth comparable to Setdb1wt tumors. Together, these results indicate a critical role for Setdb1 and type-I interferons in generating an inflamed tumor microenvironment, and potentiating tumor-cell intrinsic immunogenicity in melanoma. This study further emphasizes regulators of ERV expression and type-I interferon expression as potential therapeutic targets for augmenting anti-cancer immune responses.

TLR2/6 agonists and IFNlambda induce CXCL10 from melanoma

Project description:Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer. Clinical efforts to combat melanoma include immune therapies whose benefit depends on antitumor T-cells, to target and to clear melanoma. However, most tumors lack significant immune infiltration prior to therapy, and some immune therapies are hindered by a persistent lack of immune-cell infiltration. Chemokines can promote T-cell migration into tumors; therefore, agents that induce T-cell attracting chemokines in the tumor microenvironment could potentially improve the clinical activity of current immune therapies for melanoma. CXCL10 has been implicated as a critical chemokine supporting T-cell infiltration into the tumor microenvironment. Here we report that combination treatment of human melanoma cell lines with Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/6 agonists MALP-2 or FSL-1 +IFNlambda synergize to induce production of immune-cell attracting chemokines CCL3 and CXCL10 by melanoma cells. We find that TLR2 and TLR6 are widely expressed on human melanoma cells, and that stimulation of fresh patient melanoma specimens with TLR2/6 agonists+IFNlambda induces CXCL10 production from melanoma cells, endothelial and immune-cells. Furthermore, ex vivo migration assays demonstrate that stimulation of melanoma cells with TLR2/6 agonists+IFNlambda increases CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell migration toward melanoma. Collectively, these data identify a novel synergy of TLR2/6 agonists+IFNlambda for inducing CXCL10 production by melanoma cells and suggest that intralesional administration of TLR2/6 agonists+IFNlambda may improve immune signatures in melanoma metastases and have value in combination with other immune therapies, by supporting better T-cell migration to melanoma.

Inhibition of MBTPS1 enhances antitumor immunity and potentiates anti-PD-1 immunotherapy

Project description:In this project, we transfected MC38 cells with Flag-tagged Mbtps1 or vector control. After that, we performed immunoprecipitation–mass spectrometry analysis to search the interacting proteins of MBTPS1. In our study, We observed that the loss of membrane-bound transcription factor site-1 protease (MBTPS1) in tumor cells enhanced antitumor immunity and potentiated anti-PD-1 therapy. Mechanistic studies revealed that tumor cell-intrinsic MBTPS1 competed with USP13 for binding to STAT1, thereby disrupting USP13-dependent deubiquitination and stabilization of STAT1. MBTPS1 deficiency induced CXCR3+ CD8+ T cell infiltration by upregulating STAT1-transcribed chemokines including CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11. Notably, the regulatory role of MBTPS1 in antitumor immunity operates independently of its classic function in cleaving membrane-bound transcription factors. Collectively, our results provide a theoretical basis for MBTPS1 as a potential immunotherapy target and also as a predictor of immunotherapy efficacy.
