We examined the relationship between immunostimulatory repeat expression, tumor evolution, and the tumor-immune microenvironment. Integration of multimodal data from a cohort of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients revealed expression of specific Alu repeats predicted to form double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and trigger retinoic-acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like-receptor (RLR)-associated type-I interferon (IFN) signaling. Such Alu-derived dsRNAs also anti-correlated with pro-tumorigenic macrophage infiltration in late stage tumors. We defined two complementary pathways whereby PDAC may adapt to such anti-tumorigenic signaling. In mutant <em>TP53</em> tumors, ORF1p from long interspersed nuclear element (LINE)-1 preferentially binds Alus and decreases their expression, whereas adenosine deaminases acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) editing primarily reduces dsRNA formation in wild-type <em>TP53</em> tumors. Depletion of either LINE-1 ORF1p or ADAR1 reduced tumor growth <em>in vitro</em>. The fact that tumors utilize multiple pathways to mitigate immunostimulatory repeats implies the stress from their expression is a fundamental phenomenon to which PDAC, and likely other tumors, adapt.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we have shown that when cells were challenged simultaneously, apoptosis was inhibited and NLRP3 activation prevailed. Apoptosis inhibition by structurally diverse NLRP3 activators, including nigericin, imiquimod, extracellular ATP, particles, and viruses, was not a consequence of inflammasome activation but rather of their effects on mitochondria. NLRP3 activators turned out as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitors, which we found to disrupt mitochondrial cristae architecture, leading to trapping of cytochrome <em>c</em>. Although this effect was alone not sufficient for NLRP3 activation, OXPHOS inhibitors became triggers of NLRP3 when combined with resiquimod or Yoda-1, suggesting that NLRP3 activation requires two simultaneous cellular signals, one of mitochondrial origin. Therefore, OXPHOS and apoptosis inhibition by NLRP3 activators provide stringency in cell death decisions.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"178 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142673214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigated the impact of targeting ERAP1 in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), as MHC class I interactions mediate both activating and inhibitory functions in antitumor immunity. Loss of ERAP sensitized mouse tumor models to ICB, and this sensitivity depended on CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. <em>In vivo</em> suppression screens revealed that <em>Erap1</em> deletion inactivated the inhibitory NKG2A-HLA-E checkpoint, which requires presentation of a restricted set of invariant epitopes (VL9) on HLA-E. Loss of ERAP altered the HLA-E peptidome, preventing NKG2A engagement. In humans, ERAP1 and ERAP2 showed functional redundancy for the processing and presentation of VL9, and loss of both inactivated the NKG2A checkpoint in cancer cells. Thus, loss of ERAP phenocopies the inhibition of the NKG2A-HLA-E pathway and represents an attractive approach to inhibit this critical checkpoint.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Host regulators of virally induced lung inflammation have not been well defined. Here, we show that enrichment for sialylated, but not asialylated immunoglobulin G (IgG), predicted mild influenza disease in humans and was broadly protective against heterologous influenza viruses in a murine challenge model. Mechanistic studies show that sialylated IgG mediated this protection by inducing the transcription factor repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor (REST), which repressed nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-driven responses, preventing severe lung inflammation and protecting lung function during influenza infection. Therapeutic administration of a recombinant, sialylated Fc molecule in clinical development similarly activated REST and protected against severe influenza disease, demonstrating that this pathway could be clinically harnessed. Overall, induction of REST through sialylated IgG signaling is a strategy to limit inflammatory disease sequelae in infections caused by antigenically distinct influenza strains.","PeriodicalId":13269,"journal":{"name":"Immunity","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
