Regulatory T cells Restrain CD4 T Cell Control of MHC-I-Deficient Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Emerging After PD-L1 Blockade [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: We investigate mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer. PD-L1 blockade selected for metastatic tumor variants with defective IFN-g–inducible MHC-I due to epigenetic Tap1 silencing. Restoration of MHC-I limited primary tumor growth but failed to prevent metastasis. In contrast, regulatory T cell (TREG) depletion abrogated metastasis by unleashing conventional CD4 T cells. Metastasis was also mitigated by transfer of tumor-reactive CD4 T cells or by CTLA-4 blockade. Tumor-specific CD4 T cells adopt a TCF1⁺SLAMF6⁺ progenitor state in lymph nodes and further differentiate in malignant sites. CTLA4 blockade abrogated metastasis, drove intratumoral accumulation CD4 T cells with stemness and tissue residency features, producing a gene signature correlating with improved patient outcomes. MHC-I restoration with anti-CTLA4 prolonged animal survival. TREG and CD4 T cells co-localized in human tumors and abundance correlated with tumor MHC-I and overall survival. Together, these findings identify actionable mechanisms of immune evasion and metastasis in immunotherapy-resistant cancer.

Regulatory T cells Restrain CD4 T Cell Control of MHC-I-Deficient Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Emerging After PD-L1 Blockade [scRNA-seq]

Project description:We investigate mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer. PD-L1 blockade selects for metastatic tumor variants with defective IFNγ-inducible MHC-I due to epigenetic silencing of Tap1. Restoring MHC-I limits primary tumor growth but fails to prevent metastasis. In contrast, regulatory T cell (TREG) depletion suppresses metastasis by unleashing CD4 T helper cells. Adoptive transfer of tumor-specific CD4 T cells impairs metastatic progression. Tumor-specific CD4 T cells in lymph nodes preferentially adopt a TCF1⁺SLAMF6⁺ precursor state. Intratumoral TREG targeting with anti–CTLA-4 abrogates metastasis, drives accumulation of stem-like, tissue-resident helper CD4 T cells, producing a gene signature associated with improved patient outcomes. Combined CTLA-4 blockade and MHC-I restoration eliminates metastasis and prolongs animal survival. In human tumors, TREG and CD4 helper T cells co-localize and correlate with both tumor MHC-I expression and overall survival. Together, these findings identify actionable mechanisms of immune evasion and metastasis in immunotherapy-resistant cancer.

Dasatinib Remodels the Tumor Microenvironment and Sensitizes Small Cell Lung Cancer to Immunotherapy [PD1CTLA4]

Project description:Effective strategies to reinvigorate the immune system are needed to improve outcomes in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Targeting Src family kinases with dasatinib (Dasa) can elicit immunomodulatory effects in some cancer types. Here, we explored the potential of combining Dasa with immune checkpoint blockade in SCLC. While the SCLC models were refractory to anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA4 monotherapy, anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 combination immunotherapy (ITc) induced a significant antitumor response. Further, the Dasa+ITc combination was superior to ITc or Dasa alone. Dasa+ITc activity was mediated by CD4+ T cells, MHC-II+ antigen presenting cells (APCs), and natural killer (NK) cells, as depletion of these populations impeded the combination treatment antitumor efficacy. Increased tumor infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, NK cells, M1-like macrophages, and CD11c+ APCs and a reduction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and M2-like macrophages were found in Dasa+ITc-treated mice. Dasa increased CCL5 in NK cells and reduced Treg cell conversion from CD4+ lymphocytes. Dasa+ITc therapy elicited robust antitumor efficacy in 3D co-cultures of immune and SCLC cells. In vivo experiments showed that CCL5 was necessary for the Dasa+ITc response. In SCLC immunotherapy-treated patients, a gene signature including CD4, CIITA, and tumor mutational burden predicted good prognosis. On-treatment CCL5 plasma levels were increased only in patients with long progression-free survival, and pre-treatment secretomics identified cytokines related to myeloid cells significantly associated with poor prognosis. In summary, combining Dasa with immunotherapy represents a strategy to treat SCLC, with CCL5 as a cytokine that could serve to monitor response.

Regulatory T cells and CTLA4-mediated proliferative and functional paralysis suppress anti-tumor CD4 T cell responses and impede tumor control

Project description:CD4 T cell help is critical for tumor control and the efficacy of immunotherapy. Yet, in contrast to CD8 T cells, CD4 tumor-specific T helper (Th) cell differentiation and function during cancer progression is unclear. We demonstrate that after priming, tumor-specific CD4 T cells in the draining lymph node (dLN) are rapidly frozen into a proliferatively paralyzed state, with concomitant immature Th-fate commitment, insufficient cellular metabolism and minimal tumor-infiltration. Overcoming these dysfunctions during tumor growth restarted T cell proliferation and differentiation to enable tumor control, identifying the requirement for tumor-induced CD4 T cell dysfunction to enable cancer progression. CD4 T cell dysfunction is regulated through an unlinked two-hit mechanism wherein natural (n)Treg modulation of antigen presentation and CTLA4 inhibited tumor-specific CD4 T cell-intrinsic signal integration diminish T cell activation to freeze the cells and prevent help. Targeting either nTreg or CTLA4 alone restored proliferation but failed to promote further effector T helper differentiation; only combination therapy fully restored anti-tumor CD4 T cells responses. Thus, our study demonstrates a complex regulatory system that restricts tumor-specific CD4 T cells in cancer and provides insight into therapeutic strategies for tumor control.

Dual immune checkpoint blockade induces analogous alterations in the dysfunctional CD8+ T cell and activated Treg compartment

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade has shown clinical activity in a range of cancer types. To dissect the effect of neoadjuvant PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade on intratumoral T cells in treatment-naïve head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, we analyzed immune infiltrates in tumor biopsies from responding and non-responding patients. At baseline, a higher ratio between active (4-1BB/OX-40+) and inactive regulatory CD4+ T cells was associated with response to therapy. Furthermore, upon therapy, this active Treg population showed a profound decrease in responding patients. In an analogous process, the intratumoral dysfunctional CD8+ T cell compartment displayed a decrease in the expression of activity and dysfunction-related genes in responding patients, while in clinically non-responding patients, NK cells showed an increased cytotoxic transcriptional profile early upon treatment. These data reveal the immunological changes in response to dual PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade, including a parallel remodeling of presumed tumor-reactive T cell compartments in responding patients, and indicate that the presence of an activated Treg compartment at baseline may be associated with response.

Senescence prostate cancer cell promotes resistance to immune checkpoint blockade through ATR activation

Project description:Background: Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy represented by PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA4 antibody treatment, has been of tremendous success for multiple cancers. Most patients with prostate cancer (PCa) either do not respond to CTLA4 immune checkpoint blockade or develop resistance to it, often because of low CTLA4 antigen presentation in cancer cells.

T cell oxygen-sensing proteins establish an immunologically tolerant metastatic niche

Project description:Cancer cells must evade immune responses at distant sites to establish metastases. The lung is a frequent site for metastasis. We hypothesized that lung-specific immunoregulatory mechanisms create an immunologically permissive environment for tumor colonization. We found that T cell-intrinsic expression of the oxygen-sensing prolyl-hydroxylase (PHD) proteins is required to maintain local tolerance against innocuous antigens in the lung, but powerfully licenses colonization by circulating tumor cells. PHD proteins limit pulmonary type helper (Th)-1 responses, promote CD4+-regulatory T (Treg) cell induction, and restrain CD8+ T cell effector function. Tumor colonization is accompanied by PHD protein-dependent induction of pulmonary Treg cells and suppression of IFN-g-dependent tumor clearance. T cell-intrinsic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PHD proteins limits tumor colonization of the lung and improves the efficacy of adoptive cell transfer immunotherapy. Collectively, PHD proteins function in T cells to coordinate distinct immunoregulatory programs within the lung that are permissive to cancer metastasis. RNA expression was measured by RNA-Seq at day 4 following stimulation of naÃ¯ve FACS-sorted CD4+ T cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies in the presence of indicated doses of TGF-b. Gene expression was analysed separately in control Cd4Cre (WT) and Egln1fl/fl Egln2fl/fl Egln3fl/fl Cd4Cre (tKO) cells, or in cells treated with the pharmacological PHD inhibitor dimethyloxaloylglycine (DMOG) and control vehicle-treated cells.

Proximity-dependent labeling identifies dendritic cells that prime the antitumor CD4+ T cell response

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are uniquely capable of transporting tumoral antigens to tumor-draining lymph nodes (tdLNs), and also interact with effector T cells within the tumors themselves, mediating both natural antitumor immunity and the response to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Using LIPSTIC (Labeling Immune Partnerships by SorTagging Intercellular Contacts)-based single-cell transcriptomics, we identify individual DCs capable of presenting antigen to CD4+ T cells in the tdLN as well as inside tumors. These represent only a fraction of all DCs present and display a distinctive activated phenotype that in the LN includes production of cytokine IL-27, required for efficient T cell priming and tumor rejection. Tumor progression results in loss of effective priming of naïve CD4+ T cells, downstream of transcriptional changes in DCs that are manifested already when they arrive at the tdLN, which can be rescued by CTLA4 checkpoint blockade.
