    Abstract Myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) can exist in immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory states that impede or promote antitumor immunity, respectively. Blocking suppressive myeloid cells or increasing stimulatory cells to enhance antitumor immune responses is an area of interest for therapeutic intervention. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM1) is a proinflammatory receptor that amplifies immune responses. TREM1 is expressed on neutrophils, subsets of monocytes and tissue macrophages, and suppressive myeloid populations in the TME, including tumor-associated neutrophils, monocytes, and tumor-associated macrophages. Depletion or inhibition of immunosuppressive myeloid cells, or stimulation by TREM1-mediated inflammatory signaling, could be used to promote an immunostimulatory TME. We developed PY159, an afucosylated humanized anti-TREM1 monoclonal antibody with enhanced FcγR binding. PY159 is a TREM1 agonist that induces signaling, leading to up-regulation of costimulatory molecules on monocytes and macrophages, production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and enhancement of T cell activation in vitro. An antibody against mouse TREM1, PY159m, promoted antitumor efficacy in syngeneic mouse tumor models. These results suggest that PY159-mediated agonism of TREM1 on tumoral myeloid cells can promote a proinflammatory TME and offer a promising strategy for immunotherapy.

    Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) of diverse cancer types is often characterized by high levels of infiltrating myeloid cells including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocytes. These cells perform a variety of functions in the TME, varying from immune suppressive to immune stimulatory roles. In this review, we summarize the different myeloid cell populations in the TME and the intratumoral myeloid targeting approaches that are being clinically investigated, and discuss strategies that identify new myeloid subpopulations within the TME. The TME therapies include agents that modulate the functional activities of myeloid populations, that impact recruitment and survival of myeloid subpopulations, and that functionally reprogram or activate myeloid populations. We discuss the benefits, limitations and potential side effects of these therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract SnoN (Ski-novel protein) was discovered as a nuclear proto-oncogene on the basis of its ability to induce transformation of chicken and quail embryonic fibroblasts. As a crucial negative regulator of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling and also an activator of p53, it plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation, senescence, apoptosis, and differentiation. Recent studies of its expression patterns and functions in mouse models and mammalian cells have revealed important functions of SnoN in normal epithelial development and tumorigenesis. Evidence suggests that SnoN has both pro-oncogenic and anti-oncogenic functions by modulating multiple signaling pathways. These studies suggest that SnoN may have broad functions in the development and homeostasis of embryonic and postnatal tissues.

    Abstract SnoN is a negative regulator of TGF-β signaling and also an activator of the tumor suppressor p53 in response to cellular stress. Its role in human cancer is complex and controversial with both pro-oncogenic and anti-oncogenic activities reported. To clarify its role in human cancer and provide clinical relevance to its signaling activities, we examined SnoN expression in normal and cancerous human esophageal, ovarian, pancreatic and breast tissues. In normal tissues, SnoN is expressed in both the epithelium and the surrounding stroma at a moderate level and is predominantly cytoplasmic. SnoN levels in all tumor epithelia examined are lower than or similar to that in the matched normal samples, consistent with its anti-tumorigenic activity in epithelial cells. In contrast, SnoN expression in the stroma is highly upregulated in the infiltrating inflammatory cells in high-grade esophageal and ovarian tumor samples, suggesting that SnoN may potentially promote malignant progression through modulating the tumor microenvironment in these tumor types. The overall levels of SnoN expression in these cancer tissues do not correlate with the p53 status. However, in human cancer cell lines with amplification of the snoN gene, a strong correlation between increased SnoN copy number and inactivation of p53 was detected, suggesting that the tumor suppressor SnoN-p53 pathway must be inactivated, either through downregulation of SnoN or inactivation of p53, in order to allow cancer cell to proliferate and survive. These data strongly suggest that SnoN can function as a tumor suppressor at early stages of tumorigenesis in human cancer tissues.

    Abstract Background: A bioinformatics approach identified antitumor effects of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (grade 3 neuroendocrine carcinomas) (G3NEC) that was subsequently validated in preclinical models with a putative mechanism of action via inhibition of neuroendocrine signaling pathways. This study was undertaken to reposition the candidate TCA desipramine in a clinical trial in SCLC and G3NEC.
    Methods: In this prospective, phase IIa intrapatient dose escalation clinical trial, patients were required to have failed at least one prior chemotherapy for metastatic SCLC or G3NEC. Treatment with desipramine began at 75 mg nightly with escalation in increments of 75 mg weekly to a maximum of 450 mg daily.
    Results: Six patients were enrolled, 3 with SCLC, and 3 with G3NEC (lung, rectal, and pancreas). Tolerability of desipramine was worse than predicted. Of the 6 patients enrolled: 1 patient achieved 300 mg daily, 2 patients reached 150 mg daily, 1 patient reached 75 mg daily, and 2 patients were unable to tolerate any stable dose. Reasons for discontinuation included drug-related grade 3 colon pseudo-obstruction, unrelated GI bleed, and grade 1-2 neurocognitive adverse events. Median clinical or radiographic progression free survival was 1.2 months (range 0.2-3.3) and median overall survival from study entry was 2.7 months (range 1.3-5.6).
    Conclusions: No clinical or radiographic benefit was observed using desipramine to treat SCLC and G3NEC, so this trial was terminated. Intolerable low and medium grade neurocognitive side effects led to intermittent treatment and early discontinuation in most patients; given this limitation, doses achieved may be inadequate compared to the preclinical studies.
    Microabstract: A bioinformatics approach previously identified a potential antitumor effect of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (grade 3 neuroendocrine carcinoma) (G3NEC), which was validated in preclinical models. In this prospective, phase IIa clinical trial, patients were required to have failed at least one prior chemotherapy for metastatic SCLC or G3NEC (Ki-67 ≥ 20% or ≥ 20 mitoses/10 HPF). Treatment with desipramine began at 75 mg nightly with escalation by 75 mg weekly to a maximum dose of 450 mg daily. Six patients were enrolled on this clinical trial, 3 with SCLC, and 3 with G3NEC (lung, rectal, and pancreatic). Tolerability of desipramine was worse than predicted. In the 6 patients enrolled: 1 patient achieved 300 mg daily, 2 patients reached 150 mg daily, 1 patient reached 75 mg daily, and 2 patients were unable to tolerate any stable dose. Reasons for discontinuation included drug-related grade 3 colon pseudo-obstruction, unrelated GI bleed, and grade 1-2 drug related dizziness, confusion, and somnolence. Though numbers are small, median clinical or radiographic progression free survival was 1.2 months (range 0.2-3.3) and median overall survival from study entry was 2.7 months (range 1.3-5.6). Although preclinical evidence was promising, no clinical or radiographic benefit was observed using desipramine to treat SCLC and G3NEC, so this trial was terminated.

    Abstract Metastasis is the main cause of death in cancer patients but remains a poorly understood process. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most lethal and most metastatic cancer types. SCLC cells normally express neuroendocrine and neuronal gene programs but accumulating evidence indicates that these cancer cells become relatively more neuronal and less neuroendocrine as they gain the ability to metastasize. Here we show that mouse and human SCLC cells in culture and in vivo can grow cellular protrusions that resemble axons. The formation of these protrusions is controlled by multiple neuronal factors implicated in axonogenesis, axon guidance, and neuroblast migration. Disruption of these axon-like protrusions impairs cell migration in culture and inhibits metastatic ability in vivo. The co-option of developmental neuronal programs is a novel molecular and cellular mechanism that contributes to the high metastatic ability of SCLC.

    Abstract Mammary epithelial cells undergo structural and functional differentiation at late pregnancy and parturition to produce and secrete milk. Both TGF-β and prolactin pathways are crucial regulators of this process. However, how the activities of these two antagonistic pathways are orchestrated to initiate lactation has not been well defined. Here, we show that SnoN, a negative regulator of TGF-β signaling, coordinates TGF-β and prolactin signaling to control alveologenesis and lactogenesis. SnoN expression is induced at late pregnancy by the coordinated actions of TGF-β and prolactin. The elevated SnoN promotes Stat5 signaling by enhancing its stability, thereby sharply increasing the activity of prolactin signaling at the onset of lactation. SnoN-/- mice display severe defects in alveologenesis and lactogenesis, and mammary epithelial cells from these mice fail to undergo proper morphogenesis. These defects can be rescued by an active Stat5. Thus, our study has identified a new player in the regulation of milk production and revealed a novel function of SnoN in mammary alveologenesis and lactogenesis in vivo through promotion of Stat5 signaling.
