Project description:The identification of circulating predictors of response to ICB therapy is vital as very few of them meet the demands of the clinic. Herein, by using high-dimensionality mass cytometry, we designed a blood immunomap in metastatic NSCLC individuals who underwent anti-PD-1 treatment. We identified heightened frequencies of CD8+PD-L1+ T cells in non-responders compared responders. Notably, Imaging Mass Cytometry data revealed that CD8+PD-L1+ T cells were enriched in tumor biopsies, pleural infusions and BAL of early-stage NSCLC individuals, proposing this cells subset as candidate not only for the advanced but also for early disease detection. Transcriptomic analysis unveiled that CD8+PD-L1+ T cells displayed an exhausted phenotype related to their increased frequencies to non-responders to immunotherapy, and gene signatures correlated with the overall survival of an independent cohort. Overall, our study pinpoints immune-related events which may benefit the quest for detection of predictive biomarkers of immunotherapy responses.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer therapy. In particular, inhibition of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is effective for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and other cancers. Despite a dramatic increase in progression-free survival, a large proportion of patients do not show durable response. Therefore, predictive biomarkers of clinical response are urgently needed. Here, we employed high-dimensional single cell mass cytometry and a bioinformatics pipeline for the in-depth characterization of the immune cell subsets in the peripheral blood of metastatic melanoma patients before and after anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. During therapy, we observed a clear treatment response to immunotherapy in the T cell compartment. However, prior to commending therapy a strong predictor of progression free and overall survival in response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy was the frequency of CD14+CD16-HLA-DRhi monocytes. We could confirm this by conventional flow cytometry in an independent validation cohort and propose this as a novel predictive biomarker for therapy decisions in the clinic. In order to determine whether there are cell intrinsic changes in the monocyte signature, we performed RNA sequencing on sorted CD14+CD16-HLA-DRhi cells from HD, NR and R at baseline. Representative samples (n=4, each) of responders/non responders/ and healthy donors were selected from archival samples stored in the dermatology biobank according to the same clinical criteria used in the discovery and validation cohorts for CyTOF and FACS analysis. CD14+CD16-HLA-DRhiLin- (CD3, CD4, CD19, CD45RO) monocytes were sorted from frozen PBMC form blood samples from HD, R and NR at baseline.

Project description:Programmed death-ligand 1, PD-L1 (CD274) facilitates immune evasion and exerts pro-survival functions in cancer cells. Here, we report a new mechanism whereby internalization of PD-L1 in response to alterations of bioactive lipid/ceramide metabolism by ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) induces sonic-hedgehog (Shh) and TGF- receptor signaling to enhance tumor metastasis in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), exhibiting immunotherapy resistance. Mechanistically, data showed that internalized PD-L1 interacts with an RNA-binding protein Caprin-1 to stabilize Shh/TGFBR1/Wnt mRNAs to induce -catenin signaling and TNBC growth/metastasis, consistent with increased infiltration of FoxP3+ T regs and resistance to immunotherapy. While mammary tumors developed in MMTV-PyMT/CerS4-/- were highly metastatic, targeting the Shh/PD-L1 axis using Sonidegib and anti-PD-L1 antibody vastly decreased tumor growth and metastasis, consistent with the inhibition of PD-L1 internalization and Shh/Wnt signaling, restoring anti-tumor immune response. These data, validated in clinical samples and databases, provide a mechanism-based therapeutic strategy to improve immunotherapy responses in metastatic TNBCs.

Project description:Immunotherapy has opened hitherto unknown possibilities to treat cancer. Whereas some cancer types (e.g. melanoma) can be efficiently treated, others lack measurable positive effects (e.g. PDAC). Moreover, stratification of responders/non-responders is only possible in some cancer types (e.g. melanoma). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a dismal prognosis, limited treatment options and survival benefit, and represents a potential cancer entity for successful immunotherapy. Here, we investigated NASH-triggered HCC in the context PD-1-targeted immunotherapy. Using flow cytometry, single cell RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometric analyses, we found a progressive increase of CD8+PD-1+ effector T-cells with a unique profile of exhaustion and activation markers rising with murine and human NASH severity. Notably, late-stage HCC treatment with PD-1-targeted immunotherapy enhanced hepatic carcinogenesis in mice. Dissecting potential mechanisms of action during tumor-initiation and -progression we analyzed the effects of PD-1-targeted immunotherapy at HCC initiation. PD-1-targeted immunotherapy induced a pro-tumorigenic environment, enhanced necro-inflammation and increased NAFLD-activation score (NAS), leading to increased liver cancer incidence, tumor number and nodule size. In contrast, anti-CD8 or anti-CD8/anti-NK1.1 treatment reduced NAS and abrogated the development of liver cancer, thus identifying CD8+PD-1+ T-cells as drivers of liver cancer in NASH-triggered HCC. Increased apoptotic signaling, STAT3 phosphorylation and hepatic proliferation were detected in intra-tumoral liver tissue upon PD-1-targeted immunotherapy. In line, PD-1-/- mice challenged with a NASH diet displayed early onset of hepatocarcinogenesis, corroborating the pro-tumorigenic role of absent or reduced PD-1. Mechanistically PD-1-targeted immunotherapy mainly affected hepatic abundance of CD8+PD-1+ T-cells, instead of altering the quality of Tox+CXCR6+ expressing CD8+PD-1+TNF+CD39+Gzmb+ T-cells found in NASH livers, leading to an aggressive, pro-tumorigenic liver environment. Single-cell mapping of human NASH-, borderline NASH- or unaffected livers corroborated our preclinical NASH results. Moreover, in human NASH livers a correlation of hepatic CD8+, PD-1+, TNF+ T-cells with fibrosis and NASH severity was observed. Accordingly, HCC patients with NASH etiology display a sharp increase in intra- and peri-tumoral CD8+ PD-1+ T-cells. In a cohort of 65 patients recruited across 6 centers in Germany and Austria, patients with NAFLD/NASH-driven HCC responded worse to PD-1-targeted immunotherapy by Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab compared to non-NAFLD patients. This resulted in significant reduced overall survival, in trends of faster disease progression and reduced progression free survival. Histological analysis of livers derived from HCC patients treated with PD-1-targeted immunotherapy displayed high levels of intra and peri-tumoral CD8+ PD-1+ T-cells and Ki67+ hepatocytes. Taken together, these data indicate that PD-1-targeted immunotherapy induces immune-related adverse effects in NAFLD/NASH-driven HCC through CD8+PD-1+ T-cells. Our data call for stratification of HCC patients subjected to PD-1-targeted immunotherapy, with NAFLD being a negative predictor.

Project description:Pre-treatment tumor expression of PD-L1 has been shown to correlate with favorable clinical outcomes following PD-1 blocking therapies. However, the majority of patients with PD-L1+ tumors do not respond to treatment. With the goal of obtaining insights into the mechanisms underlying the response to anti-PD-1 targeted therapies in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with positive tumor expression of PD-L1, microarray expression data was obtained for pre-treatment tumors from patients with RCC who did or did not have a positive response to anti-PD-1 (nivolumab) therapy. Insight into these mechanisms may lead to improved rationally designed therapies, and biomarkers for selecting patients who are more likely to benefit from these treatments. Gene expression profiling was performed on total RNA extracted from 11 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) RCC specimens, 4 of which were from patients who had a positive response (objective tumor regression) to the anti-PD-1 (nivolumab) immunotherapy, and 7 of which were from patients who did not have a response.

Project description:Checkpoint immunotherapy unleashes T cell effector functions that control tumor growth, but can be undermined by myeloid cells that induce immunosuppression. TREM2 is a myeloid surface receptor that binds lipids and transmits intracellular signals through protein-tyrosine phosphorylation known to sustain microglial responses during Alzheimer’s disease. Intriguingly, TREM2 expression has recently been noted in tumor-infiltrating macrophages. We found that Trem2–/– mice are more resistant to growth of sarcoma, colorectal and mammary cancer cells than wild-type mice and are more responsive to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Furthermore, treatment with anti-TREM2 mAb curbed tumor growth and led to complete tumor regression when combined with anti-PD-1. scRNA-seq revealed that both constitutive TREM2 deficiency and anti-TREM2 are associated with relatively scant representation of MRC1+ and CX3CR1+ subsets in the macrophage tumor infiltrate, paralleled by expansion of subsets expressing immunostimulatory molecules. These changes were associated with improved T cell responses. TREM2 expression was evident in tumor macrophages in over 200 human cancer cases examined and inversely correlated with prolonged survival for two types of cancer. Thus, TREM2 is a promising target to modify tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells and effectively augment checkpoint immunotherapy.
