项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT:
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are active in only 10-25% of metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate
cancer (mCRPC) patients. Co-clinical immune profiling studies of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in mCRPC
patients and murine PC models demonstrated sparse immune infiltrates, with predominance of
immunosuppressive myeloid cells, particularly tumor-associated macrophages (TAM). PTEN loss-of-function
(LOF) occurs in multiple cancers, and specifically in 50-75% of mCRPC. It is associated with poor prognosis,
therapeutic outcomes and de novo/acquired resistance to ICI in preclinical and clinical studies in multiple tumor
types. In addition to the predominance of TAM within the sparse immune infiltrate in PC, we observed a 2-fold
increase of myeloid derived suppressor cells within the PTEN LOF TME, relative to isogenic PTEN-proficient
counterparts. These data reinforced our project goal of elucidating mechanisms underlying altered
cancer/myeloid cell cross-talk in PTEN LOF mCRPC, that are likely similar across PTEN-deleted malignancies
and contribute to ICI resistance.
We have demonstrated that cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (c-GAS)/Stimulator of INterferon Genes (STING)
pathway, typically activated in response to cytosolic DNA double strand breaks (DSB), is frequently silenced in
cancer cells, and cGAS/STING activation within myeloid compartment of the TME is critical for generating a
robust immune infiltrate. However, generation of DNA DSB is insufficient to enhance T cell infiltration, which is
consistent with lack of response to PARP inhibition (PARPi) plus ICI observed in our murine models and clinical
studies. Probing more deeply into this disconnect, we found that failed STING pathway activation within TAM
was responsible for this resistance. Furthermore, PI3K activity was preventing STING pathway activation in TAM,
and PI3K inhibition (PI3Ki) plus DNA damage with PARPi led to ICI responsiveness in PTEN-proficient, but not
in isogenic PTEN-knockout PC, suggesting that additional immunosuppressive mechanisms are driven by PTEN
LOF. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that PTEN LOF PC are de novo resistant to DNA DSB sensing
c-GAS/STING pathway activation, which can be overcome by direct STING agonist-based combinations, leading
to ICI sensitization. To test this hypothesis, we propose the following specific aims. First, we will dissect the TME
in a completed investigator-initiated clinical trial of PARPi/ICI in mCRPC patients, to determine whether the
immune inhibitory mechanisms identified in preclinical models are relevant to patients. Second, we will elucidate
the cancer cell extrinsic mechanism(s) by which PTEN-deficient PC are de novo resistant to DNA-sensing STING
pathway activation. Third, we will interrogate the anti-cancer mechanism and therapeutic potential of direct
STING agonist/PI3Ki combination therapy in sensitizing PTEN-knockout murine CRPC to ICI. Collectively, these
“co-clinical” studies will provide the mechanistic foundation for the next wave of immunotherapeutic strategies to
eradicate PTEN LOF mCRPC.
项目摘要/摘要:
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)仅在10-25%的转移性,耐Castrate的前列腺中活跃
癌症(MCRPC)患者。 MCRPC中肿瘤微环境(TME)的共同链接免疫分析研究
患者和鼠PC模型表现出稀疏的免疫浸润,占主导地位
免疫抑制髓样细胞,尤其是肿瘤相关的巨噬细胞(TAM)。 PTEN功能丧失

PTEN LOF MCRPC中的癌症/髓样细胞串扰,它们在PTEN删除的malignancys中可能相似

我们已经证明了干扰素基因(sting)的环状GMP-AMP合酶(C-GAS)/刺激剂

强大的免疫浸润。但是,DNA DSB的产生不足以增强T细胞浸润,这是
与缺乏对PARP抑制的反应(PARPI)以及在我们的鼠模型和临床中观察到的ICI一致
研究。在此断开连接中更深入地探索,我们发现TAM内的刺激途径失败
负责这种抵抗。此外,PI3K活性阻止了TAM的刺激途径激活
和PI3K抑制(PI3KI)加上PARPI的DNA损伤导致PTEN响应能力,但没有

C-GAS/STING途径激活,可以通过直接刺激激动剂组合来克服,并领导
进行ICI传感器。为了检验这一假设,我们提出了以下特定目标。首先,我们将剖析TME
在一项完整的研究人员在MCRPC患者中对PARPI/ICI的临床试验中,以确定是否是否

刺激性激动剂/PI3KI组合疗法在使PTEN-KNOCKOUT MURINE CRPC敏感为ICI中。总的来说,这些
“共同链接”研究将为下一波免疫治疗策略提供机械基础,以
根除PTEN LOF MCRPC。
