Antitumor therapeutic vaccination induces immunosuppressive dendritic cells

ABSTRACT: Vaccination induces immunostimulatory signals which are often accompanied by regulatory mechanisms such as IL-10, which control T-cell activation and inhibit vaccine-dependent antitumor therapeutic effect. Thus, here we characterized IL-10-producing cells treated with therapeutic vaccines. Although several cell subsets produced IL-10 irrespective of treatment, an early vaccine-dependent induction of IL-10 was detected in dendritic cells (DC). IL-10 production defined a DC population characterized by a poorly mature phenotype, lower expression of T-cell stimulating molecules and upregulation of PD-L1. These IL-10+ DC showed impaired in vitro T-cell stimulatory capacity, which was rescued by incubation with IL-10R and PD-L1-inhibiting antibodies. In vivo IL-10 blockade during vaccination decreased the proportion of IL-10+ DC and improved their maturation, without modifying PD-L1 expression. Similarly, PD-L1 blockade did not affect IL-10 expression, suggesting independent regulation of these molecules. Interestingly, vaccination combined with simultaneous blockade of IL-10 and PD-L1 induced stronger immune responses, resulting in a higher therapeutic efficacy in tumor-bearing mice. These results show that vaccine-induced immunoregulatory DC with dual expression of IL-10 and PD-L1 impair priming of antitumor immunity, suggesting that therapeutic vaccination protocols may benefit from combined targeting of these molecules.

Generation and functional characterization of MDSC-like cells

Project description:Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are critical in regulating immune responses by suppressing antigen presenting cells (APC) and T cells. We previously observed that incubation of peripheral blood monocytes with IL-10 during their differentiation to dendritic cells (moDC) results in the generation of an APC population with a CD14+HLA-DRlow phenotype (IL-10-APC) with reduced stimulatory capacity similar to human MDSC. Here, we show that co-incubation of IL-10-APC and moDC caused a reduction of DC-induced T cell proliferation, of the expression of maturation markers and of secreted cytokines and chemokines. Furthermore, addition of IL-10-APC increased the immunosuppressive molecule osteoactivin and its corresponding receptor syndecan-4 on moDC. Using transcriptome analysis, we could identify a set of molecules and pathways mediating the immunosuppressive effects of IL-10-APCs. In addition, we found that IL-10-APC as well as human isolated MDSC, expressed higher levels of programmed death (PD)-1, PD-ligand-1, glucocorticoid-induced-tumor-necrosis-factor-receptor-related-protein (GITR) and GITR-ligand. Inhibition of osteoactivin, syndecan-4, PD-1 or PD-L1 on MDSC using blocking antibodies restored the stimulatory capacity of DC in co-incubation experiments. Our results demonstrate that osteoactivin/syndecan-4 and PD-/PD-L1 are key molecules that are profoundly involved in the inhibitory effects of MDSC on DC function and might be promising tools for an application in the clinics.

CXCL9/10-engineered dendritic cells promote T cell activation and enhances immune checkpoint blockade for lung cancer.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), notably Programmed Death-1/Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibition, has revolutionized the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, durable responses are only observed in a subpopulation of patients. Defective antigen presentation and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment can lead to deficient T-cell recruitment and ICB resistance. We evaluated in situ vaccination with CXCL9 and CXCL10-engineered dendritic cells (CXCL9/10-DC) as a novel strategy to overcome resistance to ICB using Lkb1-null murine NSCLC model. We utilized single-cell RNA-seq to evaluate alterations of immune infiltration associated with the new therapy, which combines intratumoral CXCL9/10-DC administration and PD-1 inhibition.

IL-10 dampens antitumor immunity and promotes liver metastasis via PD-L1 induction

Project description:Background & Aims: The liver is one of the organs most commonly affected by metastasis. The presence of liver metastasis is reported to be responsible for an immunosuppressive microenvironment and diminished immunotherapy efficacy. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of IL-10 in liver metastasis formation and decipher its therapeutic potential in affecting immunotherapy effectiveness. Methods: To induce spontaneous or forced liver metastasis in mice, murine cancer cells (MC38) or colon tumor organoids were injected into the cecum or the spleen, respectively. Mice with complete and cell-type specific deletion of IL-10- and IL-10Ra were used to identify the source and the target of IL-10 during metastasis formation. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-deficient mice were used to test the role of this checkpoint. Flow cytometry was applied to characterize the regulation of IL-10 on PD-L1. Results: We found that Il10-deficient mice and mice treated with IL-10Ra antibodies were protected against liver metastasis formation. Furthermore, by using IL-10 reporter mice, we demonstrated that Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) were the major cellular source of IL-10 in liver metastatic sites. Accordingly, deletion of IL-10 in Tregs, but not in myeloid cells, led to reduced liver metastasis. Mechanistically, IL-10 acted on Tregs in an autocrine manner, thereby further amplifying IL-10 production. Furthermore, IL-10 acted on myeloid cells, i.e., monocytes, and induced the upregulation of the immune checkpoint protein PD-L1. Finally, the PD-L1/PD-1 axis attenuated CD8-dependent cytotoxicity against metastatic lesions. Conclusions: Treg-derived IL-10 upregulates PD-L1 expression in monocytes, which in turn reduces CD8+ T-cell infiltration and related antitumor immunity in the context of colorectal cancer (CRC)-derived liver metastasis. These findings provide the basis for future monitoring and targeting of IL-10 in CRC-derived liver metastasis.

Soluble immune-checkpoint factors as a complementary biomarker for PD-1 blockade reflect exhaustion of antitumor immunity

Project description:BACKGROUND. Precise stratification of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is needed for appropriate application of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy. METHODS. We measured soluble (s) forms of the PD-L1, PD-1, and CTLA-4 in plasma of patients with advanced NSCLC before PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Prospective biomarker finding trial (cohort A), 50 patients with pretreated NSCLC received nivolumab. In cohort B to E, retrospective observational study, soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with any PD-1/PD-L1 blockade (cohort B and C), cytotoxic chemotherapy (D) or targeted therapy (E). Blood samples were obtained from all patients and soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated using a highly sensitive chemiluminescence-based assay. RESULTS. Nonresponsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy was associated with higher concentrations of these soluble immune factors among patients with immune-reactive (hot) tumors. Such correlation was not observed in patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Integrative analysis of tumor size, PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue (tPD-L1), and gene expression in tumor tissue and peripheral CD8+ T cells revealed that high concentrations of the three soluble immune factors were associated with hyper or terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. The combination of sPD-L1 and sCTLA-4 efficiently discriminated responsiveness among patients with immune-reactive tumors. CONCLUSION. Combinations of soluble immune factors might be able to identify patients unlikely to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as a result of terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. Our data suggest such a combination might provide a biomarker complementary to tPD-L1 for NSCLC patients.

Oncolytic virus M1 functions as a bi-functional checkpoint inhibitor to enhance the antitumor activity of DC vaccine

Project description:Although promising, dendritic cell (DC) vaccines still provide limited clinical benefits, mainly due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and the lack of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). Oncolytic viruses are considered to be an ideal strategy to overcome immunosuppression and expose TAAs, therefore they may work synergistically with DC vaccines. In this study, we demonstrated that oncolytic virus M1 (OVM) can enhance the antitumor effects of DC vaccine in a variety of syngeneic tumor mouse models by increasing the infiltration of CD8+ effector T cells in the TME. Mechanically, we identified that tumor cells offset the function of DC vaccines through the myeloid immune checkpoint SIRPα-CD47, while OVM can downregulate the expression of SIRPα and CD47 in DCs and tumor cells, respectively. Based on the fact that OVM upregulates the expression of PD-L1 in DCs, PD-L1 blockade was introduced with the combination of DC vaccines and OVM, resulting in a further potentiation of antitumor activity. Overall, we revealed that OVM can strengthen the antitumor efficacy of DC vaccines by targeting the immune checkpoint SIRPα-CD47 axis, which exerts dominant immunosuppressive effects on DC vaccines.

MET regulates expression of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules in tumor cells and contributes to suppression of immune cell function

Project description:MET-altered human cancer cell lines including Hs746T (MET-mutated/amplified), H596 (MET-mutated) and H1993 (MET-amplified) cells were used. In microarray analysis, MET suppression using MET inhibitor or siRNAs up-regulated variable co-stimulatory molecules, including 4-1BBL, OX40L and CD70, and down-regulated variable co-inhibitory molecules. Among co-inhibitory molecules, PD-L1 was one of the most markedly down-regulated genes by MET suppression, which was validated at the mRNA and total/surface protein levels in Hs746T and H1993 cells. Consistently, MET activation by HGF treatment increased PD-L1 expression in H596 cells. Co-culture of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with Hs746T cells suppressed IFNg production from PBMC, which was restored by an MET inhibitor or PD-L1 blockade. A significant positive correlation between MET and PD-L1 expression was observed in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) analysis for variable cancer types and immunohistochemistry for lung cancer. MET overexpression in PD-L1-high tumor exhibited decreased expressions of T-cell effector molecules in TCGA analysis for lung cancer. In summary, MET overexpression/activation is related to immunosuppressive phenotype and is involved in immune escape of tumor by PD-L1 up-regulation. MET-targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy could be a potential therapeutic strategy in MET-dependent cancer.

Targeting IL-21 to tumor-reactive T cells enhances memory T cell responses and anti-PD-1 antibody therapy

Project description:T cell rejuvenation by PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, despite emerging as a highly promising therapy for advanced cancers, is only beneficial for a minority of treated patients. There is evidence that a lack of efficient T cell activation may be responsible for the failure. Here, we demonstrate that IL-21 can be targeted to tumor-reactive T cells by fusion of IL-21 to anti-PD-1 antibody. To our surprise, the fusion protein PD-1Ab21 promoted the generation of TSCM-like CD8+ T cells with enhanced cell proliferation. A transcriptome analysis of isolated TN, activated and PD-1Ab-cultured CD44highCD62Lhigh T cells, IL-2-generated TE/TEM, IL-15-generated TCM as well as PD-1Ab21 and IL-21-generated CD44lowCD62Lhigh T cells provides corroborating evidence that PD-1Ab21 induces conversion of activated CD8+ T cells back to a memory subset that is distinct from TCM cells, but similar to TSCM. PD-1Ab21 treatment showed potent antitumor effects in established tumor-bearing mice accompanied with an increased frequency of TSCM and robust expansion of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells with a memory phenotype, and was superior to a combination of PD-1 blockade and IL-21 infusion. Therefore, we have developed a potential strategy to improve the therapeutic effects of immune checkpoint blockade by simultaneously targeting cytokines to tumor-reactive T cells.
