EZH2 loss during metabolic stress drives restoration of MHC Class I machinery in melanoma

Description

Unleashing the immune anti-tumor response through immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has been successful in treating many solid-tumor malignancies, including metastatic melanoma. When successful, the ICB response can be potent; however, half of patients fail to respond. ICB responsiveness is impacted by the harsh solid tumor microenvironment (TME), which is characterized by metabolic stress. The TME impacts tumor antigenicity, with ICB-responsive melanomas exhibiting increased major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) expression. Further investigation of tumor immunogenicity in the context of the TME may improve cellular therapies. Here, we define and characterize an epigenetic mechanism regulating melanoma antigen presentation driven by prolonged metabolic stress. Murine and human melanoma cell lines were cultured under prolonged metabolic stress, forcing cells to adapt to the absence of glucose. Melanoma cells adapted to the absence of glucose have IFN-gamma-independent increases in MHC-I and an increased sensitivity to T cell-mediated killing. Proteomic analysis revealed dysregulation of histone epigenetic modifiers under prolonged metabolic stress, specifically loss of histone methyltransferase EZH2 (Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2). EZH2 directly silences gene transcription via catalyzing H3K27me3. Following metabolic adaptation, ChIP-sequencing and ChIP-PCR revealed H3K27me3 loss at genes specific to MHC-I antigen presentation. Prolonged metabolic stress in melanoma cells blunt EZH2 levels and H3K27me3 levels at promoters of genes regulating MHC-I presentation, resulting in elevated MHC-I antigenicity and increased CD8+ T cell killing. This demonstrates potential for EZH2 abundance and mutational status as a prognostic indicators of ICB-responsiveness in metastatic melanoma and supports EZH2 inhibition as adjuvant for immunotherapies [doi:10.25345/C53R0Q53D] [dataset license: CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)]

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
