Summary (written by the submitters)
Effective strategies to reinvigorate the immune system are needed to improve outcomes in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Targeting Src family kinases with dasatinib (Dasa) can elicit immunomodulatory effects in some cancer types. Here, we explored the potential of combining Dasa with immune checkpoint blockade in SCLC. While the SCLC models were refractory to anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA4 monotherapy, anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 combination immunotherapy (ITc) induced a significant antitumor response.

Further, the Dasa+ITc combination was superior to ITc or Dasa alone. Dasa+ITc activity was mediated by CD4+ T cells, MHC-II+ antigen presenting cells (APCs), and natural killer (NK) cells, as depletion of these populations impeded the combination treatment antitumor efficacy. Increased tumor infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, NK cells, M1-like macrophages, and CD11c+ APCs and a reduction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and M2-like macrophages were found in Dasa+ITc-treated mice. Dasa increased CCL5 in NK cells and reduced Treg cell conversion from CD4+ lymphocytes. Dasa+ITc therapy elicited robust antitumor efficacy in 3D co-cultures of immune and SCLC cells. In vivo experiments showed that CCL5 was necessary for the Dasa+ITc response. In SCLC immunotherapy-treated patients, a gene signature including CD4, CIITA, and tumor mutational burden predicted good prognosis. On-treatment CCL5 plasma levels were increased only in patients with long progression-free survival, and pre-treatment secretomics identified cytokines related to myeloid cells significantly associated with poor prognosis. In summary, combining Dasa with immunotherapy represents a strategy to treat SCLC, with CCL5 as a cytokine that could serve to monitor response.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE297846_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1266476 and SRA study SRP587432. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
