BACKGROUND: Previously we identified a DNA damage response-deficient (DDRD)
molecular subtype within breast cancer. A 44-gene assay identifying this subtype
was validated as predicting benefit from DNA-damaging chemotherapy. This subtype
was defined by interferon signaling. In this study, we address the mechanism of
this immune response and its possible clinical significance. METHODS: We used
immunohistochemistry (IHC) to characterize immune infiltration in 184 breast
cancer samples, of which 65 were within the DDRD subtype. Isogenic cell lines,
which represent DDRD-positive and -negative, were used to study the effects of
chemokine release on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) migration and the
mechanism of immune signaling activation. Finally, we studied the association
between the DDRD subtype and expression of the immune-checkpoint protein PD-L1 as
detected by IHC. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS: We found that
DDRD breast tumors were associated with CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytic infiltration
(Fisher's exact test P < .001) and that DDRD cells expressed the chemokines
CXCL10 and CCL5 3.5- to 11.9-fold more than DNA damage response-proficient cells
(P < .01). Conditioned medium from DDRD cells statistically significantly
attracted PBMCs when compared with medium from DNA damage response-proficient
cells (P < .05), and this was dependent on CXCL10 and CCL5. DDRD cells
demonstrated increased cytosolic DNA and constitutive activation of the viral
response cGAS/STING/TBK1/IRF3 pathway. Importantly, this pathway was activated in
a cell cycle-specific manner. Finally, we demonstrated that S-phase DNA damage
activated expression of PD-L1 in a STING-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: We
propose a novel mechanism of immune infiltration in DDRD tumors, independent of
neoantigen production. Activation of this pathway and associated PD-L1 expression
may explain the paradoxical lack of T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity observed in DDRD
tumors. We provide a rationale for exploration of DDRD in the stratification of
patients for immune checkpoint-based therapies.
