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.

Project description:PD-L1 Inhibitor Regulates the miR-33a-5p/PTEN Signaling Pathway and Can Be Targeted to Sensitize Glioblastomas to Radiation. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal brain tumor in adults. Ionizing radiation (IR) is a standard treatment for GBM patients and results in DNA damage. However, the clinical efficacy of IR is limited due to therapeutic resistance. The programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade has a shown the potential to increase the efficacy of radiotherapy by inhibiting DNA damage and repair responses. The miR-33a-5p is an essential microRNA that promotes GBM growth and self-renewal. In this study, we investigated whether a PD-L1 inhibitor (a small molecule inhibitor) exerted radio-sensitive effects to impart an anti-tumor function in GBM cells by modulating miR-33a-5p. U87 MG cells and U251 cells were pretreated with PD-L1 inhibitor. The PD-L1 inhibitor-induced radio-sensitivity in these cells was assessed by assaying cellular apoptosis, clonogenic survival assays, and migration. TargetScan and luciferase assay showed that miR-33a-5p targeted the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) 3' untranslated region. The expression level of PTEN was measured by western blotting, and was also silenced using small interfering RNAs. The levels of DNA damage following radiation was measured by the presence of γ-H2AX foci, cell cycle, and the mRNA of the DNA damage-related genes, BRCA1, NBS1, RAD50, and MRE11. Our results demonstrated that the PD-L1 inhibitor significantly decreased the expression of the target gene, miR-33a-5p. In addition, pretreatment of U87 MG and U251 cells with the PD-L1 inhibitor increased radio-sensitivity, as indicated by increased apoptosis, while decreased survival and migration of GBM cells. Mir-33a-5p overexpression or silencing PTEN in U87 MG and U251 cells significantly attenuated PD-L1 radiosensitive effect. Additionally, PD-L1 inhibitor treatment suppressed the expression of the DNA damage response-related genes, BRCA1, NBS1, RAD50, and MRE11. Our results demonstrated a novel role for the PD-L1 inhibitor in inducing radio- sensitivity in GBM cells, where inhibiting miR-33a-5p, leading to PTEN activated, and inducing DNA damage was crucial for antitumor immunotherapies to treat GBM.

Project description:Lung cancer is a major global health problem, as it is the leading cause of cancer- related deaths worldwide. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form, is a heterogeneous disease with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma being the predominant subtypes. Immune-inhibiting interaction of Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) with programmed cell death-protein 1 (PD-1) causes checkpoint mediated immune evasion and is, accordingly, an important therapeutic target in cancer. In NSCLC, improved understanding of PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade-responsive biology is warranted. We aimed to identify the landscape of immune cell infiltration in primary lung adeno- carcinoma (LUAD) in the context of tumor PD-L1 expression and the extent of immune infiltration (“hot” vs. “cold” phenotype). Therefore, the study comprises LUAD cases (n=138) with “hot” and “cold” tumor immune phenotype and positive and negative tumor PD-L1 expression, respectively. Tumor samples were immunohistochemically analyzed for expression of PD-L1, CD4 and CD8 and further analyzed on transcriptomic level by Nanostring nCouter Pan Cancer Immune Profiling Panel. We detected significantly differentially expressed genes associated with PD-L1 positive and “hot” versus PD-L1 negative and “cold” phenotype. The presented study illustrates novel aspects of PD-L1 regulation, with potential biological relevance, as well as relevance for immunotherapy response stratification.

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.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapy has focused on inhibitors of checkpoint proteins, such as Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1). Unlike RAS-mutated lung cancers, EGFR mutant tumors have generally low response to immunotherapy. Because treatment outcomes vary by EGFR allele, we assumed that intrinsic and microenvironmental factors are involved. Among all non-immunological signaling pathways we surveyed in patients’ datasets, EGFR signaling best associated with high PD-L1. Correspondingly, active EGFRs stabilized PD-L1’s transcripts and depleting PD-L1 severely inhibited EGFR-driven tumorigenicity and metastasis in mice. The underlying mechanisms involve recruitment of phospholipase C-g1 (PLC-g1) to a cytoplasmic motif of PD-L1, which enhances PLC-g1 activation by EGFR. Once stimulated, PLC-g1 activates calcium flux, RHO GTPases and protein kinase C, which promotes an aggressive phenotype. Furthermore, anti-PD-L1 antibodies can inhibit these intrinsic functions of PD-L1. Our results portray PD-L1 as a molecular amplifier of EGFR signaling and lay the foundation for understanding resistance of EGFR+ tumors to immunotherapy.

Project description:Targeting checkpoint blockade to rescue exhausted regulatory T cells (Tregs) has become an essential immunotherapy strategy in treating cancer. Until now, the CD4+ Tregs and PD-1+CD8+ T cells were demonstrated to reduce immunogenic responses. In contrast, little is known about the PD-L1 graphic pattern and characteristics in CD8+ T cells. We performed two high-throughput analysis approaches on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells in lung cancers. We discovered PD-L1+CD8+ T cells enriched in tumor lesions, localized with PD-1+CD8+ affected T cells, and owned regulatory functions. Moreover, tumor-derived IL-27 promoted the development of PD-L1+CD8+ T cells through STAT1/STAT3 signaling. Single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis further clarified the enrichment of PD-L1+CD8+ T cells related to the downregulation of adaptive immune response. Additionally, enrichment of this subset was correlated with poor survival of lung cancer patients. Our data collectively demonstrated that PD-L1+CD8+ T cells potentially become a prognostic biomarker in lung cancer.

Project description:Antibodies and derivative drugs targeting immune checkpoints have been approved for the treatment of several malignancies, but there are fewer responses in patients with pancreatic cancer. Here, we designed a nanobody molecule with bi-targeting on PD-L1 and CXCR4, as both targets are overexpressed in many cancer cells and play important roles in tumorigenesis. The nanobody sequences targeting PD-L1 and CXCR4 were linked by the (G4S)3 flexible peptide to construct the anti-PD-L1/CXCR4 bispecific nanobody. The bispecific nanobody was expressed in E. coli cells and purified by affinity chromatography. The purified nanobody was biochemically characterized by mass spectrometry, Western blotting and flow cytometry to confirm the molecule and its association with both PD-L1 and CXCR4. The biological function of the nanobody and its anti-tumour effects were examined.

Project description:Cancer cells express high levels of PD-L1, a ligand of the PD-1 receptor on T cells, allowing tumors to suppress T cell activity 1-3. Clinical trials utilizing monoclonal antibodies that disrupt the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint have yielded remarkable results, with PD-1 immunotherapy approved as a first-line therapy for human lung cancer patients 4-6. Despite significant progress in targeting this pathway, the mechanisms through which PD-L1 is upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other tumor types remain incompletely understood. Here we used CRISPR-based screening to identify regulators of PDL1 in human lung cancer cells, revealing potent induction of PD-L1 levels upon disruption of the heme biosynthesis pathway. Impairment of heme production activates the integrated stress response (ISR), allowing bypass of inhibitory upstream open reading frames in the PD-L1 5¢ UTR, resulting in enhanced PD-L1 translation and suppression of anti-tumor immunity. We further demonstrated that ISR-dependent translation of PD-L1 requires the translation initiation factor EIF5B. EIF5B overexpression, which is frequent in human lung cancers and is associated with poor prognosis, is sufficient to induce PD-L1. These findings uncover a new mechanism of immune checkpoint activation and suggest novel targets for therapeutic intervention.
