Project description:We developed a screening platform in which immortal dendritic cell (DC) precursors can be genetically manipulated and then de-immortalized and differentiated into DCs for functional in vitro assays, as well for adoptive transfer into syngeneic tumor-bearing mice to explore their capacity to instate immunosurveillance. A genome-wide CRISPR screen led to the identification of BCL2 as an endogenous inhibitor of DC function. Knockout of BCL2 in DCs enhanced antigen presentation and the expression of activation markers in vitro, as well as the capacity of DCs to control tumor growth in vivo and to synergize with PD-1 blockade. These effects where phenocopied by the pharmacological BCL2 inhibitors venetoclax and navitoclax, both of which required DCs of the cDC1 subtype to efficiently reduce the growth of orthotopic lung cancers and fibrosarcomas. Thus, solid tumors failed to respond to venetoclax and navitoclax in mice constitutively devoid of cDC1 cells due to the knockout of Batf3, and this defect was reversed by the infusion of DCs. Moreover, depletion of cDC1 cells by systemic injection of cytochrome c reduced the therapeutic efficacy of BCL2 inhibitors alone or in combination with PD-1 blockade. In vivo treatment with venetoclax caused cDC1 cells to express several activation markers, both in mice and in patients. In conclusion, genetic and pharmacological BCL2 inhibition unveils a DC-specific immune checkpoint that restrains tumor immunosurveillance

Project description:We developed a phenotypic screening platform for the functional exploration of dendritic cells (DC). Here, we report a genome-wide CRISPR screen that revealed BCL2 as an endogenous inhibitor of DC function. Knockout of BCL2 enhanced DC antigen presentation and activation as well as the capacity of DCs to control tumors and to synergize with PD-1 blockade. The pharmacologic BCL2 inhibitors venetoclax and navitoclax phenocopied these effects and caused a cDC1-dependent regression of orthotopic lung cancers and fibrosarcomas. Thus, solid tumors failed to respond to BCL2 inhibition in mice constitutively devoid of cDC1, and this was reversed by the infusion of DCs. Moreover, cDC1 depletion reduced the therapeutic efficacy of BCL2 inhibitors alone or in combination with PD-1 blockade and treatment with venetoclax caused cDC1 activation, both in mice and in patients. In conclusion, genetic and pharmacologic BCL2 inhibition unveils a DC-specific immune checkpoint that restrains tumor immunosurveillance.SignificanceBCL2 inhibition improves the capacity of DCs to stimulate anticancer immunity and restrain cancer growth in an immunocompetent context but not in mice lacking cDC1 or mature T cells. This study indicates that BCL2 blockade can be used to sensitize solid cancers to PD-1/PD-L1-targeting immunotherapy. This article is featured in Selected Articles from This Issue, p. 2293.

Project description:Homeostatic control of dendritic cell (DC) survival is crucial for a productive adaptive immune response, but the molecular mechanism is not well defined. Moreover, how DCs influence homeostasis of the immune system under steady state remains unclear. Combining DC-specific and inducible deletion systems, we report here that the kinase TAK1 is an essential regulator of DC survival and immune system homeostasis and function. Deficiency of TAK1 in CD11c+ cells diminished DC populations, especially the CD8+ and CD103+ DC subsets in the lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs, respectively. This was associated with increased apoptosis of DCs, whereas DC proliferation and differentiation from precursors appeared largely normal. In addition, acute deletion of TAK1 caused DC apoptosis, indicating a direct role of TAK1 in actively maintaining DC survival. TAK1 deficiency impaired activities of the pro-survival NF-kB and AKT pathways but upregulated expression of the pro-apoptotic molecule Bim. Under steady state, loss of TAK1 in DCs resulted in a myeloid proliferative disorder, and altered homeostasis of T cells. In response to antigen stimulation, TAK1-deficient DCs were impaired for T cell priming and regulatory T cell generation. Therefore, TAK1 orchestrates a pro-survival checkpoint in DCs that affects the homeostasis and function of the immune system RNA extracted from three replicate samples of wild-type and Map3k7 (TAK1) knockout dendritic cells was analyzed on Affymetrix gene expression arrays

Project description:Therapy resistance is a major challenge in the treatment of cancer. Here, we performed CRISPR/Cas9 screens across a broad range of therapies used in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to identify genomic determinants of drug response. Our screens uncovered a selective dependency on RNA splicing factors whose loss preferentially synergized with the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax. Loss of the splicing factor RBM10 augmented response to venetoclax in leukemia yet was completely dispensable for normal hematopoiesis. Combined RBM10 and BCL2 inhibition led to mis-splicing and inactivation of the inhibitor of apoptosis XIAP and downregulation of BCL2A1, an anti-apoptotic protein implicated in venetoclax resistance. A novel inhibitor of splicing kinase families CLKs and DYRKs led to intron retention of key splicing factors identified from our screens, synergized with venetoclax, and overcame resistance to BCL2 inhibition. Our findings underscore the central importance of splicing in modulating apoptosis and provide a strategy to improve venetoclax-based treatments.

Project description:Pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) signals initiate immunoglobulin light (Igl) chain gene assembly leading to RAG-mediated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). These signals also promote cell cycle entry, which could cause aberrant DSB repair and genome instability in pre-B cells. Here we show that RAG DSBs inhibit pre-BCR signals through the ATM- and NF-κB2-dependent induction of SPIC, a hematopoietic-specific transcriptional repressor. SPIC inhibits expression of the SYK tyrosine kinase and BLNK adaptor to prevent the pre-BCR from inducing additional Igl chain gene rearrangements and driving pre-B cells with RAG DSBs into cycle. We propose that pre-B cells toggle between pre-BCR signals and this RAG DSB-dependent checkpoint to maintain genome stability while iteratively assembling Igl chain genes. Three independent IL-7 cultures for each genotype (Rag1-/-:μIgH:Bcl2, Art-/-:μIgH:Bcl2 and Art-/-:Nfkb2-/-:μIgH:Bcl2) were withdrawn from IL-7 for 2 days. RNA was isolated using RNeasy (Qiagen). Gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina MouseRef-8 expression microarrays.

Project description:In analyzing transcriptomic data from a clinical trial of neoadjuvant-intensive Androgen Deprivation Therapy, we observed increased mRNA expression of the hallmark antiapoptotic gene BCL2 in the prostate tumors of treated patients versus those of untreated patients. We showed that BCL2 overexpressed LNCaP cells exhibited resistance to enzalutamide, indicating that BCL2-overexpression leads to castration resistance and cellular plasticity.We performed RNA sequencing on BCL2 overexpressed LNCaP cells tretaed with R1881 to determine BCL2 regulated AR signaling and overed that BCL2 overexpression may alter AR-pathway.
