NCOR2 represses MHC class I molecule expression to drive metastatic progression of breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Metastatic progression depends upon the ability of disseminated tumor cells to evade immune surveillance. MHC-mediated antigen presentation facilitates T cell-dependent eradication of metastatic tumor cells. We identified nuclear corepressor 2 (NCOR2) as an epigenetic regulator of MHC class I molecule presentation on breast tumor cells. Patients with triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) that expressed high levels of NCOR2 also exhibited reduced metastasis-free survival and decreased MHC class I expression, and metastatic lesions in patients with TNBC had high nuclear NCOR2 and reduced CD8+ T cells. Reducing NCOR2 expression or preventing its interaction with HDAC3 enhanced innate immune cell recruitment and activity, and elevated MHC class I levels on disseminated cancer cells to potentiate CD8+ T cell activity and apoptosis induction that prevented metastatic progression. The studies provide evidence to support NCOR2 as a targetable epigenetic regulator of metastasis towards which therapies could be developed to reduce patient mortality.

Downregulation of antigen presentation-associated pathway proteins in poor outcome triple-negative breast cancer patient tumors

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous subtype with varying disease outcomes. Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are frequent in TNBC and have been shown to correlate with outcome, suggesting an immunogenic component in this subtype. However, other factors, intrinsic to the cancer cells, may also influence outcome. To identify proteins and molecular pathways associated with recurrence in TNBC, 34 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) primary TNBC tumors were investigated by global proteomic profiling using TMT-HILIC-LC-MS/MS. Approximately half of the patients were lymph node-negative and remained free of local or distant metastasis within 10 years follow-up, while the other half developed distant metastasis. Proteomic profiling identified >4000 proteins, of which 63 exhibited altered expression in primary tumors of recurrence versus recurrence-free patients. Importantly, down-regulation of proteins in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen presentation pathways were enriched, including TAP1, TAP2, CALR, HLA-A, ERAP1 and TAPBP, and were associated with significantly shorter recurrence-free and overall survival. In addition, proteins involved in cancer cell proliferation and growth, including GBP1, RAD23B, WARS and STAT1, also exhibited altered expression in primary tumors of recurrence versus recurrence-free patients. The association between the antigen-presentation pathway and outcome were validated in a second sample set of 10 primary TNBC tumors and corresponding metastases using proteomics and in a large public gene expression database of 249 TNBC and 580 basal-like breast cancer cases. Our study demonstrates that down-regulation of antigen presentation is a key mechanism for TNBC cells to avoid immune surveillance, allowing continued growth and spread.

MiR-342 suppression of an E2F signaling network limits metastatic outgrowth of triple negative breast cancer [HITSCLIP]

Project description:Metastasis occurs with high frequency in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its aetiology remains poorly understood. Through integrated analysis of metastatic TNBC mouse models and patient datasets, we identified miR-342 as a clinically relevant suppressor of TNBC metastasis. Ectopic expression of miR-342 was sufficient to repress TNBC metastasis in immune competent and xenograft mouse models, specifically limiting the outgrowth of disseminated tumour cells. Using a multi-omics approach, including Argonaute-HITS-CLIP, we identified the global complement of miR-342 targets in TNBC. Through targeting of E2F1 and many downstream E2F target genes, miR-342 orchestrates both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory networks that converge to suppress E2F signalling in TNBC. Consistent with this, inhibition of the E2F pathway with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib reduces metastatic outgrowth of TNBC. These findings demonstrate the existence of a pro-metastatic E2F pathway that is downregulated by miR-342 and implicate the clinical utility of CDK4/6 inhibitors to limit TNBC metastasis in patients where the tumour expresses low levels of miR-342.

Potassium channel-driven bioelectric signaling affects the metastatic potential of triple negative breast cancer

Project description:Our data demonstrate that altering the RMP of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells by manipulating potassium channels increases in vitro invasion, tumor growth, and metastasis, inducing changes in gene expression associated with cell adhesion. We describe a novel mechanism for RMP-mediated cell migration involving cadherin-11 and the MAPK pathway. Importantly, we identify a new treatment strategy for metastatic TNBC by repurposing FDA-approved potassium channel blockers. Our results provide an understanding of a mechanism by which the bioelectricity regulates cancer cell invasion and metastasis that can advance the development of a potential new class of TNBC therapeutics.

EZH2 loss during metabolic stress drives restoration of MHC Class I machinery in melanoma

Project description:Unleashing the immune anti-tumor response through immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has been successful in treating many solid-tumor malignancies, including metastatic melanoma. When successful, the ICB response can be potent; however, half of patients fail to respond. ICB responsiveness is impacted by the harsh solid tumor microenvironment (TME), which is characterized by metabolic stress. The TME impacts tumor antigenicity, with ICB-responsive melanomas exhibiting increased major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) expression. Further investigation of tumor immunogenicity in the context of the TME may improve cellular therapies. Here, we define and characterize an epigenetic mechanism regulating melanoma antigen presentation driven by prolonged metabolic stress. Murine and human melanoma cell lines were cultured under prolonged metabolic stress, forcing cells to adapt to the absence of glucose. Melanoma cells adapted to the absence of glucose have IFN-gamma-independent increases in MHC-I and an increased sensitivity to T cell-mediated killing. Proteomic analysis revealed dysregulation of histone epigenetic modifiers under prolonged metabolic stress, specifically loss of histone methyltransferase EZH2 (Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2). EZH2 directly silences gene transcription via catalyzing H3K27me3. Following metabolic adaptation, ChIP-sequencing and ChIP-PCR revealed H3K27me3 loss at genes specific to MHC-I antigen presentation. Prolonged metabolic stress in melanoma cells blunt EZH2 levels and H3K27me3 levels at promoters of genes regulating MHC-I presentation, resulting in elevated MHC-I antigenicity and increased CD8+ T cell killing. This demonstrates potential for EZH2 abundance and mutational status as a prognostic indicators of ICB-responsiveness in metastatic melanoma and supports EZH2 inhibition as adjuvant for immunotherapies

Rhodes2019 - Immune-Mediated theory of Metastasis

Project description:Abstract: Accumulating experimental and clinical evidence suggest that the immune response to cancer is not exclusively anti-tumor. Indeed, the pro-tumor roles of the immune system - as suppliers of growth and pro-angiogenic factors or defenses against cytotoxic immune attacks, for example - have been long appreciated, but relatively few theoretical works have considered their effects. Inspired by the recently proposed "immune-mediated" theory of metastasis, we develop a mathematical model for tumor-immune interactions at two anatomically distant sites, which includes both anti- and pro-tumor immune effects, and the experimentally observed tumor-induced phenotypic plasticity of immune cells (tumor "education" of the immune cells). Upon confrontation of our model to experimental data, we use it to evaluate the implications of the immune-mediated theory of metastasis. We find that tumor education of immune cells may explain the relatively poor performance of immunotherapies, and that many metastatic phenomena, including metastatic blow-up, dormancy, and metastasis to sites of injury, can be explained by the immune-mediated theory of metastasis. Our results suggest that further work is warranted to fully elucidate the pro-tumor effects of the immune system in metastatic cancer.

Marizomib eradicates primary and metastatic triple-negative breast cancer via proteasome and oxidative phosphorylation inhibition

Project description:Lacking effective targeted therapies, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBCs) is highly aggressive, metastatic, and clinically challenging breast cancer subtype with worst prognosis. Despite survival dependency on the proteasome pathway genes, the FDA-approved proteasome inhibitors induced minimal clinical response in TNBC patients due to weaker proteasome inhibition. Here, we show that a novel proteasome inhibitor Marizomib (Mzb), inhibited multiple proteasome catalytic activities and induced better anti-tumor response in TNBC cell line and patient-derived xenografts alone and in combination with a standard-of-care chemotherapy, doxorubicin. Mechanistically, Mzb inhibits oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) via PGC-1α suppression in conjunction with proteasome inhibition in TNBC cells. Development of metastatic disease, especially brain metastasis, remains a reason for a greater mortality rate amongst TNBC patients. Mzb reduces lung and brain metastasis in vivo by reducing circulating tumor cells and the expression of multiple epithelial-to-mesenchymal genes. We also demonstrate that Mzb-induced OXPHOS inhibition upregulates glycolysis to fulfill the metabolic demand of TNBC cells and hence, combined inhibition of glycolysis with Mzb leads to a synergistic anti-cancer activity in vivo. Collectively, our data provide a strong rationale for the clinical evaluation of Mzb in primary and metastatic TNBC patients.

Reshaping of the MHC-I ligandome in response to reovirus-based cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Oncolytic viruses (OVs), known for their cancer-killing characteristics, overturn tumor-associated defects in antigen presentation through the MHC class I pathway and induce protective neo antitumor CD8 T cell responses. Nonetheless, whether OVs shape the tumor MHC-I ligandome remains unknown. Here, we investigated if an OV induces the presentation of novel MHC I-bound tumor antigens (termed tumor MHC-I ligands). Using comparative mass spectrometry (MS)-based MHC-I ligandomics, we determined differential tumor MHC-I ligand expression following treatment with oncolytic reovirus in a murine ovarian cancer model. In vitro we found that reovirus induces the presentation of tumor MHC-I ligands in cancer cells. Concurrent multiplexed quantitative proteomics revealed that the changes in tumor MHC-I ligand presentation were mostly independent of reovirus-induced alterations of their source proteins. In an in vivo model, tumor MHC-I ligands were induced by reovirus in tumors but also, more importantly, analysis of spleens (a source of antigen-presenting cells) showed exclusive induction of most MHC-I ligands occurred in tumor-bearing mice. Finally, IFNγ assays demonstrated immunogenicity of the reovirus-induced MHC-I ligands. OV-induced MHC-I responses may be exploited in combinatorial approaches to promote the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies.
