    Abstract Background: Targeting of solid cancers with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells is limited by the lack of suitable tumor-specific antigens and the immunosuppressive, desmoplastic tumor microenvironment that impedes CAR-T cell infiltration, activity and persistence. We hypothesized that targeting the endosialin (CD248) receptor, strongly expressed by tumor-associated pericytes and perivascular cancer-associated fibroblasts, would circumvent these challenges and offer an exciting antigen for CAR-T cell therapy due to the close proximity of target cells to the tumor vasculature, the limited endosialin expression in normal tissues and the lack of phenotype observed in endosialin knockout mice.
    Methods: We generated endosialin-directed E3K CAR-T cells from three immunocompetent mouse strains, BALB/c, FVB/N and C57BL/6. E3K CAR-T cell composition (CD4
    Results: E3K CAR-T cells were active in vitro against both mouse and human endosialin
    Conclusions: Together these data highlight endosialin as a viable antigen for CAR-T cell therapy and that targeting stromal cells closely associated with the tumor vasculature avoids CAR-T cells having to navigate the harsh immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Further, the ability of E3K CAR-T cells to recognize and target both mouse and human endosialin

    Abstract Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) are members of the bHLH-PAS family of transcription factors that underpin cellular responses to oxygen and to endogenous and exogenous ligands, respectively, and have central roles in the pathogenesis of renal cancer. Composed of heterodimers, they share a common HIF-1β/ARNT subunit and similar DNA-binding motifs, raising the possibility of crosstalk between the two transcriptional pathways. Here, we identify both general and locus-specific mechanisms of interaction between HIF and AHR that act both antagonistically and cooperatively. Specifically, we observe competition for the common HIF-1β/ARNT subunit, in cis synergy for chromatin binding, and overlap in their transcriptional targets. Recently, both HIF and AHR inhibitors have been developed for the treatment of solid tumours. However, inhibition of one pathway may promote the oncogenic effects of the other. Therefore, our work raises important questions as to whether combination therapy targeting both of these pro-tumourigenic pathways might show greater efficacy than targeting each system independently.

    Abstract Activation of cellular hypoxia pathways, orchestrated by HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) transcription factors, is a common feature of multiple tumor types, resulting from microenvironment factors and oncogenic mutation. Although they help drive many of the "hallmarks" of cancer and are associated with poor outcome and resistance to therapy, the transcriptional targets of HIF vary considerably depending on the cell type. By integrating 72 genome-wide assays of HIF binding and transcriptional regulation from multiple cancer types, we define a consensus set of 48 HIF target genes that is highly conserved across cancer types and cell lineages. These genes provide an effective marker of HIF activation in bulk and single-cell transcriptomic analyses across a wide range of cancer types and in malignant and stromal cell types. This allows the tissue-orchestrated responses to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and to oncogenic HIF activation to be deconvoluted at the tumor and single-cell level.

    Abstract The impact of radiotherapy on the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells is important not least because radiotherapy can be used alongside immunotherapy as a cancer treatment. Unexpectedly, we found that X-ray irradiation of cancer cells induced significant resistance to natural killer (NK) cell killing. This was true across a wide variety of cancer-cell types as well as for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Resistance appeared 72 h postirradiation and persisted for 2 wk. Resistance could also occur independently of radiotherapy through pharmacologically induced cell-cycle arrest. Crucially, multiple steps in NK-cell engagement, synapse assembly, and activation were unaffected by target cell irradiation. Instead, radiotherapy caused profound resistance to perforin-induced calcium flux and lysis. Resistance also occurred to a structurally similar bacterial toxin, streptolysin O. Radiotherapy did not affect the binding of pore-forming proteins at the cell surface or membrane repair. Rather, irradiation instigated a defect in functional pore formation, consistent with phosphatidylserine-mediated perforin inhibition. In vivo, radiotherapy also led to a significant reduction in NK cell-mediated clearance of cancer cells. Radiotherapy-induced resistance to perforin also constrained chimeric antigen receptor T-cell cytotoxicity. Together, these data establish a treatment-induced resistance to lymphocyte cytotoxicity that is important to consider in the design of radiotherapy-immunotherapy protocols.

    Abstract Activation of hypoxia pathways is both associated with and contributes to an aggressive phenotype across multiple types of solid cancers. The regulation of gene transcription by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a key element in this response. HIF directly upregulates the expression of many hundreds of protein-coding genes, which act to both improve oxygen delivery and to reduce oxygen demand. However, it is now becoming apparent that many classes of noncoding RNAs are also regulated by hypoxia, with several (e.g. micro RNAs, long noncoding RNAs and antisense RNAs) under direct transcriptional regulation by HIF. These hypoxia-regulated, noncoding RNAs may act as effectors of the indirect response to HIF by acting on specific coding transcripts or by affecting generic RNA-processing pathways. In addition, noncoding RNAs may also act as modulators of the HIF pathway, either by integrating other physiological responses or, in the case of HIF-regulated, noncoding RNAs, by providing negative or positive feedback and feedforward loops that affect upstream or downstream components of the HIF cascade. These hypoxia-regulated, noncoding transcripts play important roles in the aggressive hypoxic phenotype observed in cancer.
