- W4308381831 abstract "<h3>Background</h3> Trastuzumab resistance is an important clinical issue. Although a plethora of resistance mechanisms have been characterized, few have been shown to be actionable. We have demonstrated that soluble TNFα isoform (sTNFα) upregulates mucin 4 (MUC4) expression, which shields the trastuzumab epitope on HER2, hindering its therapeutic effect <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo.</i><sup>1,2</sup> Since the success of trastuzumab treatment relies on immune response, we addressed the role of MUC4 on modulating the tumor immune infiltrate to foster immune evasion in sTNFα-induced trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. <h3>Methods</h3> <i>De novo</i> trastuzumab-resistant JIMT-1 and KPL-4 cell lines were engineered to express a doxycycline-inducible MUC4 shRNA (JIMT-1-shMUC4 and KPL-4-shMUC4, respectively). Female nude mice bearing these s.c. tumors (~100 mm<sup>3</sup>), were treated i.p with IgG or trastuzumab (5mg/kg), a dominant negative (DN) sTNFα inhibitor (10 mg/kg) or trastuzumab+DN (n=4-6 per group). After 3 weeks of treatment, tumor-infiltrating immune cells were studied by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. For macrophage and NK cell depletion, clodronate or anti-asialo GM1 was used, respectively. ADCP was studied using parental JIMT-1 cells pre-cultured for 48h with DN (10 μg/ml) or vehicle and then co-cultured with human macrophages for 1.5 h. A cohort of 91 HER2+ breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab was used to correlate tumor MUC4 expression with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). <h3>Results</h3> Upon MUC4 silencing through doxycycline induction, trastuzumab antitumor effect was reinstated (80% or 85% tumor growth inhibition, JIMT-1-shMUC4 or KPL-4-shMUC4, respectively; p<0.0001). The addition of DN did not further decrease tumor burden. In the absence of doxycycline, trastuzumab+DN inhibited tumor growth and modified the immunosuppressive tumor milieu, increasing M1-like macrophage polarization (p<0.01) and NK cell degranulation (p<0.01). In MUC4-silenced tumors, trastuzumab treatment alone mimics this tumor infiltrate. Depletion experiments revealed a cross-talk between macrophages and NK cells necessary for trastuzumab+DN antitumor effect. When MUC4 was silenced, trastuzumab antitumor effect was lost upon macrophage depletion, but it was preserved when NK cells were absent. Furthermore, JIMT-1 cells pre-treated with DN were more susceptible to trastuzumab-dependent cellular phagocytosis (p<0.05). Finally, MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer negatively correlated with TILs (p=0.004), reflecting “immune desert” tumors. <h3>Conclusions</h3> In all, we conclude that sTNFα isoform blockade is able to tackle MUC4 expression and, together with trastuzumab, triggers an effective antitumor immune response that relies on M1-macrophage-NK cell collaboration. These findings provide rationale to pursue sTNFα blockade combined with trastuzumab or trastuzumab drug-conjugates for MUC4+ and HER2+ breast cancer patients to overcome trastuzumab resistance. <h3>References</h3> Mercogliano MF, De Martino M, Venturutti L, <i>et al</i>.
