Abstract Immunological treatment strategies are under investigation for high-grade gliomas. In order to invigorate a tumor-specific immune response it is required to determine relevant immuno- logical pathways. We therefore investigated the immunological phenotypes within different subgroups of high-grade gliomas, with focus on rare genetic subgroups of pediatric and ado- lescent patients to identify potentially targetable mechanisms. We gathered published gene expression data from 1135 high-grade glioma patients and applied a machine learning tech- nique to determine their transcriptional (mesenchymal, classical, neural, proneural) and mu- tational (K27, G34, IDH, WT) subtype. Gene signatures of infiltrating immune cells and func- tional immune pathways were evaluated in correlation to histological diagnosis, age, tran- scriptional, and mutational subgroups. Our analysis identified four distinct microenvironmen- tal signatures of immune cell infiltration (immune 1-4), which can be stratified into vascular, monocytic/stromal, monocytic/T cell– and APC/NK/T cell–dominated immune clusters. Im- mune cell expression profiles correlated with transcriptional and mutational subgroups but were independent of age and histological diagnosis. By including functional pathways and correlating the expression of immunostimulatory and -inhibitory receptor-ligand interactions, we were able to define the immunological microenvironment and identify possible immuno- logical subtypes associated with poor prognosis. In addition, comparison of overall survival with the immunological landscape and with checkpoint molecules revealed correlations within the transcriptional and mutational subgroups, highlighting the potential application of PD- 1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibition in K27-mutated tumors. Our study shows that transcriptional and mutational subgroups are characterized by distinct immunological tumor microenviron- ments, demonstrating the immunological heterogeneity within high-grade gliomas and sug- gesting an immune-specific stratification for upcoming immunotherapy trials. 2 Downloaded from cancerimmunolres.aacrjournals.org on September 24, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Introduction High-grade gliomas are defined by aggressive and infiltrative growth, reducing the life expectancy in pediatric and adult patients (1). Despite multimodal treatment, including neu- rosurgical resection and combination of radio- and chemotherapy, tumor recurrence is a cer- tainty (1). Although treatment modalities such as immunotherapeutic approaches with check- point inhibitors have failed to show efficacy in a phase III study in recurrent glioblastomas (2,3), ongoing studies are trying to harness the ability of the immune system to counteract tumor growth and induce long-term remission (4). To identify which patients might benefit from checkpoint inhibition or other immunotherapeutic approaches, such as tumor vaccines, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, autologous T-cell transfer or cytolytic virus injections, we must better understand the glioma-specific immune microenvironment (5). Large scale immunological profiling of gene expression data in other cancer entities has yielded information to improve precision immunotherapy (6–8). Unfortunately, the intricate cellular, genetic, and transcriptional heterogeneity of malignant gliomas adds complexity to efforts to define targetable immunological profiles (9,10). The WHO classification in 2016 identified subcategories among high-grade gliomas (11). Molecular profiling, especially by isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation analy- sis (12), improves understanding of subgroup-specific aggressiveness and prediction of overall survival in adult patients. Transcriptomic studies have identified additional subgroups. Phillips et al. described different molecular subgroups of astrocytoma and their prognostic relevance, then Verhaak and colleagues refined this classification by introducing a gene ex- pression-based molecular classification of glioblastoma that stratifies tumors into mesen- chymal, classical, neural and proneural subgroups (13,14). These groups share features of biological aggressiveness and response to therapy (13). The proneural subgroup was further subdivided into cGIMP and non-cGIMP methylated tumors (15). The neural subtype has been excluded in many subsequent studies due to suspected contamination of tumor sam- ples with normal tissue (14,16). In addition to the groups defined by transcriptional subtypes or mutations in the IDH gene in adult tumors, genomic sequencing studies also identified lineage-defining aberra- tions, such as the somatic mutations of the histone 3 variants in the positions G34 and K27 (17–19). Furthermore, pediatric glioblastoma can be stratified by additional molecular sub- groups according to their RTK or MYCN pathway aberrations (19). The K27 and G34 muta- tions in histone 3 were predominantly found in pediatric and adolescent glioblastoma, high- lighting their biological distinctiveness and the need to stratify high-grade gliomas according to their mutational profile. 3 Downloaded from cancerimmunolres.aacrjournals.org on September 24, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Accumulating data suggest that molecularly distinct glioma subgroups differ in their tumor microenvironment and their immuno-stromal profiles (20,21). Investigations of the TCGA dataset, predominantly including IDH wild-type glioblastomas, revealed heterogeneity in the composition of the immune environment between mutational and transcriptional sub- groups (22). Wang and colleagues demonstrated a subgroup-dependent macro- phage/microglia infiltration according to the gene-signature, with increased infiltration in NF1- mutated tumors (23). This was also confirmed by gene-enrichment analysis for transcription- al subtypes by Doucette et al. (24) and by our group by gene-expression profiling for different molecular subgroups in medulloblastoma (25). Our analysis evaluates the subtype-specific immune microenvironment across a co- hort of pediatric and adult high-grade gliomas, comparing mutational and transcriptional pro- files in order to identify immune infiltration patterns and functional pathways mediating local immunosuppression. Materials and Methods All data analyses were performed using the statistical programming language R (26) including the packages survival, caret, randomForest, igraph, gplots and Rtsne [https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=survival, https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=caret, http://igraph.org, https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=gplots, http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v9/vandermaaten-08a.html, https://cran.r- project.org/package=randomForest].

  • Transcriptional Control of Tissue-Resident Memory T Cell Generation
    Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Filip Cvetkovski All rights reserved ABSTRACT Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are a non-circulating subset of memory that are maintained at sites of pathogen entry and mediate optimal protection against reinfection. Lung TRM can be generated in response to respiratory infection or vaccination, however, the molecular pathways involved in CD4+TRM establishment have not been defined. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of influenza-specific lung CD4+TRM following influenza infection to identify pathways implicated in CD4+TRM generation and homeostasis. Lung CD4+TRM displayed a unique transcriptional profile distinct from spleen memory, including up-regulation of a gene network induced by the transcription factor IRF4, a known regulator of effector T cell differentiation. In addition, the gene expression profile of lung CD4+TRM was enriched in gene sets previously described in tissue-resident regulatory T cells. Up-regulation of immunomodulatory molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and ICOS, suggested a potential regulatory role for CD4+TRM in tissues. Using loss-of-function genetic experiments in mice, we demonstrate that IRF4 is required for the generation of lung-localized pathogen-specific effector CD4+T cells during acute influenza infection. Influenza-specific IRF4−/− T cells failed to fully express CD44, and maintained high levels of CD62L compared to wild type, suggesting a defect in complete differentiation into lung-tropic effector T cells.

    Shao et al. BMC Genetics (2019) 20:36 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12863-019-0739-7 METHODOLOGYARTICLE Open Access Identifying and exploiting gene-pathway interactions from RNA-seq data for binary phenotype Fang Shao1, Yaqi Wang2, Yang Zhao1 and Sheng Yang1* Abstract Background: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology has identified multiple differentially expressed (DE) genes associated to complex disease, however, these genes only explain a modest part of variance. Omnigenic model assumes that disease may be driven by genes with indirect relevance to disease and be propagated by functional pathways. Here, we focus on identifying the interactions between the external genes and functional pathways, referring to gene-pathway interactions (GPIs). Specifically, relying on the relationship between the garrote kernel machine (GKM) and variance component test and permutations for the empirical distributions of score statistics, we propose an efficient analysis procedure as Permutation based gEne-pAthway interaction identification in binary phenotype (PEA). Results: Various simulations show that PEA has well-calibrated type I error rates and higher power than the traditional likelihood ratio test (LRT). In addition, we perform the gene set enrichment algorithms and PEA to identifying the GPIs from a pan-cancer data (GES68086). These GPIs and genes possibly further illustrate the potential etiology of cancers, most of which are identified and some external genes and significant pathways are consistent with previous studies. Conclusions: PEA is an efficient tool for identifying the GPIs from RNA-seq data. It can be further extended to identify the interactions between one variable and one functional set of other omics data for binary phenotypes.
