Project description:The role of B cells in anti-tumor immunity is still debated and accordingly, most therapies have focused on targeting T and NK cells to inhibit tumor growth1,2. Here, using high-throughput flow cytometry, bulk and single-cell RNA- and BCR-sequencing of B cells temporally during B16F10 melanoma growth, we identified a subset of B cells that expands specifically in the draining lymph node over time in tumor bearing-mice. The expanding B cell subset expresses the cell surface molecule T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (TIM-1) and a unique transcriptional signature, including multiple co-inhibitory molecules such as PD-1, TIM-3, TIGIT and LAG-3. While conditional deletion of these co-inhibitory molecules on B cells had little or no effect on tumor burden, selective deletion of Havcr1 (the gene encoding TIM-1) in B cells both dramatically inhibited tumor growth and enhanced effector T cell responses. Loss of TIM-1 enhanced the type 1 interferon response in B cells, which augmented B cell activation and increased antigen presentation and co-stimulation, resulting in increased expansion of tumor-specific effector T cells. Our results demonstrate that manipulation of TIM-1-expressing B cells enables engagement of the second arm of adaptive immunity to promote anti-tumor immunity and inhibit tumor growth.

Project description:New targets that enhance anti-tumor immunity must be identified to improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Here we show that loss of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP) family proteins improves anti-tumor immunity and synergizes with immune checkpoint blockade. Mechanistically, we show that loss of ERAP inactivates the HLA-E/NKG2A checkpoint, which normally restrains tumor killing by both CD8+ T cells and NK cells. The inhibitory activity of HLA-E is dependent on its presentation of a restricted set of invariant epitopes which form the binding surface for the NKG2A/CD94 receptor complex. Using genetic screening, in vivo models, cell-based assays, and immunopeptidomics, we show that loss of ERAP activity prevents the processing of these invariant peptides and alters the presented peptidome of both HLA-E and classical MHC-I. HLA-E neo-peptides presented after ERAP deletion are unable to bind the NKG2A/CD94 receptor, rendering tumor cells highly susceptible to killing by NKG2A+ cytotoxic T and NK cells. Thus, loss of ERAP phenocopies the loss or inhibition of the HLA-E/NKG2A pathway and represents an attractive therapeutic approach to inhibit this critical checkpoint. More broadly, this work identifies ERAP1/2 as druggable intracellular enzymes that could be targeted using small molecules to inactivate a cell-surface inhibitory pathway and represents a novel approach to therapeutic modulation of immune responses.

Project description:RIG-I is a pattern recognition receptor involved in innate immunity, but its role in adaptive immunity remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that RIG-I is upregulated in tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells, where it functions as an intracellular checkpoint to negatively regulate CD8+ T cell function and limit antitumor immunity. Mechanically, up-regulation of RIG-I in CD8+ T cells is induced by retinoic acid (RA), a metabolite of vitamin A in TME, and direct inhibits the AKT/glycolysis signaling pathway. In addition, deletion of RIG-I enhances the efficacy of adoptively transferred T cells against solid tumors and inhibition of RIG-I enhances the response to PD-1 blockade. Our findings identify RIG-I as an intracellular checkpoint and a potential target for alleviating inhibitory constraints on T cells in cancer immunotherapy, either alone or in combination with immune checkpoint blockade.

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

Project description:Chromatin regulators play a broad role in regulating gene expression, and when gone awry, can lead to cancer. Here we demonstrate that ablation of the histone demethylase LSD1 in cancer cells increases repetitive element expression, including ERVs, and decreases expression of RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) components. Significantly, this leads to dsRNA stress and activation of type 1 interferon, which stimulates anti-tumor T cell immunity and restrains tumor growth. Furthermore, LSD1 depletion enhances tumor immunogenicity and T cell infiltration in poorly immunogenic tumors, and elicits significant responses of checkpoint blockade-refractory mouse melanoma to anti-PD-1 therapy. Consistently, TCGA data analysis shows an inverse correlation between LSD1 expression and CD8+ T cell infiltration in various human cancers. Our study identifies LSD1 as a potent inhibitor of anti-tumor immunity and responsiveness to immunotherapy, and suggests LSD1 inhibition combined with PD-(L)1 blockade as a novel cancer treatment strategy.

Project description:Identifying new immune checkpoint molecules hindering antitumor T cell responses and devising new therapeutic blockades are key to the development of next-generation cancer immunotherapies. Here, we report the induction of the serotonin transporter (SERT) in solid tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic CD8 T cells, a molecule best known for its role in regulating serotonin neurotransmission in the brain. In solid tumors, CD8 T cells secrete serotonin, which stimulates their antitumor reactivities, while SERT functions as a negative regulator by depleting intratumoral serotonin. Inhibition of SERT using clinically approved selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a popular class of antidepressants, significantly suppressed tumor growth and enhanced CD8 T cell-mediated antitumor responses in various preclinical mouse syngeneic and human xenograft tumor models. Importantly, SSRI treatment exhibited significant therapeutic synergy with anti-PD-1 therapy, and clinical data correlation studies negatively associated intratumoral SERT expression with patient survival in a range of cancers. These findings highlight the significance of the intratumoral serotonin axis and identify SERT as a novel immune checkpoint, positioning SSRIs as promising candidates for next-generation combination cancer therapies.
