Abstract Glioblastoma are incurable aggressive tumors and remain a therapeutic challenge. Glioblastoma frequently harbor alterations in the retinoblastoma pathway with subsequent cell cycle abnormalities. Here, we aimed to investigate the anti-glioma activity of the cell cycle-stabilizing compound Argyrin F and its potential treatment-induced vulnerabilities to exploit possibilities for novel combination therapies. We investigated cell viability, clonogenic survival, cell cycle status and immunoblots of human and murine glioma cells treated with Argyrin F. Moreover, we established an ex vivo glioma model using residual freshly resected tissue from patients, i.e. patient-derived microtumors (PDMs). Additionally, we extracted autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to perform co-culturing experiments. We performed mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics and used the orthotopic syngeneic SMA560/VM/Dk glioma mouse model. Argyrin F displayed anti-glioma efficacy in glioma cell lines in vitro and in PDM models ex vivo. Moreover, Argyrin F treatment induced cell cycle arrest, reduced clonogenic survival in vitro and prolonged survival in vivo. Argyrin F-treated SMA560 glioma displayed 4.6-fold more glioma-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. We discovered a distinctive treatment-induced immunopeptidome. Combination of Argyrin F plus PD-1 antibody increased cellular toxicity in PDM/TILs co-cultures ex vivo and prolonged overall survival compared with monotherapies in vivo. We conclude that our experimental data suggest a novel combination of Argyrin F plus PD-1 blockade and its clinical translation.

Infiltrating Lymphocytes

Introduction Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes represent a pivotal component of the host anti-tumor response. Thus, they considerably influence the evolution of cancers including non-small cell lung carcinomas. Even if, this important role is consensual, many discordant results are published in the literature about the prognostic role of the different populations of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. The aim of our work was to evaluate the prognostic impact of CD8+, CD4+, and forkhead box protein P3+ lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment of non-small cell lung carcinomas. Methods We conducted a retrospective descriptive study, which included non-small cell lung carcinomas diagnosed in the department of pathology and followed in the medical oncology department of the same hospital between 2011 and 2015. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were analyzed by the immunohistochemical method for forkhead box protein P3, CD4, and CD8. Intratumoral and stromal-labeled lymphocytes were quantified by manual counting at high magnification (×400). Forkhead box protein P3+/CD8+, forkhead box protein P3+/CD4+, and CD8+/CD4+ ratios were subsequently calculated. The prognostic value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was assessed in respect of overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and relapse-free survival. Results Thirty-nine patients were included. The mean age of patients was 59.6 years. A complete surgical resection ( p = 0.009), and a CD8/CD4 ratio ( p = 0.008) were prognostic factors for overall survival. Complete surgical resection ( p = 0.003), the forkhead box protein P3/CD8 ( p = 0.005), and forkhead box protein P3/CD4 ( p = 0.037) ratios were prognostic factors for recurrence-free survival. The CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes rate ( p = 0.037) was a prognostic factor for relapse-free survival with a threshold of 67.8/high power field. Microscopic subtype ( p = 0.037) was a prognostic factor for relapse-free survival when only adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma were considered. In multivariate analysis, age ( p = 0.004) and a CD8/CD4 ratio ( p = 0.016) were independent predictors of overall survival. Conclusion Despite the limitations of our study, our results confirm the prognostic value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in non-small cell lung carcinomas and the importance of the combined quantification of their different subpopulations.

Background: Human intratumoral T cell infiltrates can be defined by quantitative or qualitative features, such as their ability to recognize autologous tumor antigens. In this study, we reproduced the tumor-T cell interactions of individual patients to determine and compared the qualitative characteristics of intratumoral T cell infiltrates across multiple tumor types. Methods: We employed 187 pairs of unselected tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and autologous tumor cells from patients with melanoma, renal-, ovarian-cancer or sarcoma, and single-cell RNA sequencing data from a pooled cohort of 93 patients with melanoma or epithelial cancers. Measures of TIL quality including the proportion of tumor-reactive CD8+ and CD4+ TILs, and TIL response polyfunctionality were determined. Results: Tumor-specific CD8+ and CD4+ TIL responses were detected in over half of the patients in vitro, and greater CD8+ TIL responses were observed in melanoma, regardless of previous anti-PD-1 treatment, compared to renal cancer, ovarian cancer and sarcoma. The proportion of tumor-reactive CD4+ TILs was on average lower and the differences less pronounced across tumor types. Overall, the proportion of tumor-reactive TILs in vitro was remarkably low, implying a high fraction of TILs to be bystanders, and highly variable within the same tumor type. In situ analyses, based on eight single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets encompassing melanoma and five epithelial cancers types, corroborated the results obtained in vitro. Strikingly, no strong correlation between the proportion of CD8+ and CD4+ tumor-reactive TILs was detected, suggesting the accumulation of these responses in the tumor microenvironment to follow non-overlapping biological pathways. Additionally, no strong correlation between TIL responses and tumor mutational burden (TMB) in melanoma was observed, indicating that TMB was not a major driving force of response. No substantial differences in polyfunctionality across tumor types were observed. Conclusions: These analyses shed light on the functional features defining the quality of TIL infiltrates in cancer. A significant proportion of TILs across tumor types, especially non-melanoma, are bystander T cells. These results highlight the need to develop strategies focused on the tumor-reactive TIL subpopulation.
