Summary |
We conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) omental biopsies to identify potential targets that could enhance response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Analysis of 64,097 cells identified NACT-induced overexpression of stabilin-1 (clever-1) on macrophages and FOXP3 in Tregs and these were validated at the protein level. STAB1 inhibition in vitro induced anti-tumor macrophages. FOXP3 anti-sense oligonucleotide (FOXP3-ASO), repolarised Tregs to an effector T cell phenotype. ScRNAseq on 69,781 cells from an HGSOC syngeneic mouse model recapitulated the patients’ data. Combining chemotherapy with anti-stabilin1 antibody and/or Foxp3-ASO significantly increased survival of mice with established peritoneal disease in two HGSOC syngeneic models and progression-free survival in a third model. Long-term survivors (300 days+) were resistant to tumor rechallenge. Anti-stabilin1 antibody enriched the tumors with CXCL9+ macrophages and Foxp3-ASO increased TBET cell infiltration. Our results suggest targeting these molecules may improve chemotherapy response in patients.

Overall design |
Single cell RNA sequencing on whole omental tumours from HGS2 mouse model. Tumours were harvested from three control mice and 3 mice one week after the third dose of carboplatin and paclitaxel.
