Mapping spatial organization and genetic cell-state regulators to target immune evasion in ovarian cancer
The drivers of immune evasion are not entirely clear, limiting the success of cancer immunotherapies. Here we applied single-cell spatial and perturbational transcriptomics to delineate immune evasion in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer. To this end, we first mapped the spatial organization of high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer by profiling more than 2.5 million cells in situ in 130 tumors from 94 patients. This revealed a malignant cell state that reflects tumor genetics and is predictive of T cell and natural killer cell infiltration levels and response to immune checkpoint blockade. We then performed Perturb-seq screens and identified genetic perturbations—including knockout of PTPN1 and ACTR8—that trigger this malignant cell state. Finally, we show that these perturbations, as well as a PTPN1/PTPN2 inhibitor, sensitize ovarian cancer cells to T cell and natural killer cell cytotoxicity, as predicted. This study thus identifies ways to study and target immune evasion by linking genetic variation, cell-state regulators and spatial biology. Here the authors provide a resource for ovarian cancer combining spatial transcriptomics, genomics, CRISPR Perturb-seq screens and in silico methods to focus on T cells and natural killer cells in the tumor and their role in immune evasion.
期刊介绍:
Nature Immunology is a monthly journal that publishes the highest quality research in all areas of immunology. The editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors. The journal prioritizes work that provides translational and/or fundamental insight into the workings of the immune system. It covers a wide range of topics including innate immunity and inflammation, development, immune receptors, signaling and apoptosis, antigen presentation, gene regulation and recombination, cellular and systemic immunity, vaccines, immune tolerance, autoimmunity, tumor immunology, and microbial immunopathology. In addition to publishing significant original research, Nature Immunology also includes comments, News and Views, research highlights, matters arising from readers, and reviews of the literature. The journal serves as a major conduit of top-quality information for the immunology community.
