    Abstract: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening disease characterized by progressive pulmonary artery (PA) remodeling. T helper 2 cell (Th2) immune response is involved in PA remodeling during PAH progression. Here, we found that CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cell) expression was up-regulated in circulating CD3+CD4+ T cells in patients with idiopathic PAH and in rodent PAH models. CRTH2 disruption dramatically ameliorated PA remodeling and pulmonary hypertension in different PAH mouse models. CRTH2 deficiency suppressed Th2 activation, including IL-4 and IL-13 secretion. Both CRTH2+/+ bone marrow reconstitution and CRTH2+/+ CD4+ T cell adoptive transfer deteriorated hypoxia + ovalbumin–induced PAH in CRTH2−/− mice, which was reversed by dual neutralization of IL-4 and IL-13. CRTH2 inhibition alleviated established PAH in mice by repressing Th2 activity. In culture, CRTH2 activation in Th2 cells promoted pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation through activation of STAT6. These results demonstrate the critical role of CRTH2-mediated Th2 response in PAH pathogenesis and highlight the CRTH2 receptor as a potential therapeutic target for PAH.

    Abstract: Introduction: PD-1 and PD-L1antibodies have shown impressive clinical benefits to cancer patients. However, still a significant number of patients fail to respond to those checkpoint inhibitors. To understand the underlying mechanism, we performed genomic and immune profiling of both tumor tissues and cytotoxic T cells isolated from syngeneic mouse xenograft models treated with in-house WuXi anti-mouse PD-1(WX-mPD-1) and anti-mouse PD-L1 (WX-mPD-L1) antibodies. Material and methods: Syngeneic mouse xenograft models from melanoma cell lines, CloudmanS91 and B16-F10, were used to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of WX-mPD-1 and WX-mPD-L1 antibodies. Cancer cells and xenograft tumors before and after treatment were collected for RNASeq profiling, from which mRNA expression and DNA mutations were called and neo-antigens were predicted. FACS analysis and TCR sequencing were also performed to examine the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) population and TCR repertoire diversity, respectively. Results: Among forty-eight established syngeneic models, nine had been tested with WX-mPD-1 and WX-mPD-L1 antibodies as single agent or in combination. More importantly, we have investigated the expression, mutation loads, neo-antigens for responsive model from CloudmanS91 and partially responsive model from B16-F10. CloudmanS91 model had 8 fold increases in mutation loads compared with B16-F10 model. Neo-antigens identified in CloudmanS91 cells were further knocked out to dissect their roles in activating immune response to WX-mPD-1 and WX-mPD-L1 antibodies in vivo. Conclusions: WX-mPD-1 and WX-mPD-L1 antibodies as well as syngeneic tumor models are useful tools for pre-clinical combination and MoA studies for cancer immunotherapy. Analysis of Neo-antigen and TCR repertoire helps us better understand immune response to these antibodies in preclinical settings, and suggest novel approaches to enhance the current immunotherapeutic interventions.

Immune profiling uncovers neo-antigens and TCR repertoire responding to WX-mPD-1 and WX-mPD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors in syngeneic mouse xenograft models. [abstract].

    Abstract: Unlike advances in the genomics-driven precision treatment of cutaneous melanomas, the current poor understanding of the molecular basis of mucosal melanomas (MM) has hindered such progress for MM patients. Thus, we sought to characterize the genomic landscape of MM to identify genomic alterations with prognostic and/or therapeutic implications. Experimental Design: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on 65 MM samples, including 63 paired tumor blood samples and 2 matched lymph node metastases, with a further droplet digital PCR–based validation study of an independent MM cohort (n = 80). Guided by these molecular insights, the FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib was tested in an MM patient-derived xenograft (PDX) trial. Results: Besides the identification of well-recognized driver mutations of BRAF (3.1%), RAS family (6.2%), NF1 (7.8%), and KIT (23.1%) in MMs, our study also found that (i) mutations and amplifications in the transmembrane nucleoporin gene POM121 (30.8%) defined a patient subgroup with higher tumor proliferation rates; (ii) enrichment of structural variations between chromosomes 5 and 12 defined a patient subgroup with significantly worse clinical outcomes; (iii) over 50% of the MM patients harbored recurrent focal amplification of several oncogenes (CDK4, MDM2, and AGAP2) at 12q13-15, and this co-occurred significantly with amplification of TERT at 5p15, which was verified in the validation cohort; (iv) the PDX trial demonstrated robust antitumor effects of palbociclib in MMs harboring CDK4 amplification. Conclusions: Our largest-to-date cohort WGS analysis of MMs defines the genomic landscape of this deadly cancer at unprecedented resolution and identifies genomic aberrations that could facilitate the delivery of precision cancer treatments.
