Abstract
The sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) is the most well-characterized neurogenic area in the mammalian brain. We previously showed that in 65% of patients with glioblastoma (GBM), the SVZ is a reservoir of cancer stem-like cells that contribute to treatment resistance and emergence of recurrence. Here, we built a single-nucleus RNA-sequencing-based microenvironment landscape of the tumor mass (T_Mass) and the SVZ (T_SVZ) of 15 GBM patients and 2 histologically normal SVZ (N_SVZ) samples as controls. We identified a mesenchymal signature in the T_SVZ of GBM patients: tumor cells from the T_SVZ relied on the ZEB1 regulatory network, whereas tumor cells in the T_Mass relied on the TEAD1 regulatory network. Moreover, the T_SVZ microenvironment was predominantly characterized by tumor-supportive microglia, which spatially co-exist and establish heterotypic interactions with tumor cells. Lastly, differential gene expression analyses, predictions of ligand-receptor and incoming/outgoing interactions, and functional assays revealed that the IL-1β/IL-1RAcP and Wnt-5a/Frizzled-3 pathways are therapeutic targets in the T_SVZ microenvironment. Our data provide insights into the biology of the SVZ in GBM patients and identify specific targets of this microenvironment.

Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP): A magic bullet candidate for immunotherapy of human malignancies. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2024; 193:104200.

Abstract
IL-1, plays a role in some pathological inflammatory conditions. This pro-inflammatory cytokine also has a crucial role in tumorigenesis and immune responses in the tumor microenvironment (TME). IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP), combined with IL-1 receptor-1, provides a functional complex for binding and signaling. In addition to the direct role of IL-1, some studies demonstrated that IL1-RAP has essential roles in the progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis of solid tumors such as gastrointestinal tumors, lung carcinoma, glioma, breast and cervical cancers. This molecule also interacts with FLT-3 and c-Kit tyrosine kinases and is involved in the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies such as acute myeloid lymphoma. Additionally, IL-1RAP interacts with solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) and thereby increasing the resistance to anoikis and metastasis in Ewing sarcoma. This review summarizes the role of IL-1RAP in different types of cancers and discusses its targeting as a novel therapeutic approach for malignancies.

Blockade of IL-1α and IL-1β signaling by the anti-IL1RAP antibody nadunolimab (CAN04) mediates synergistic anti-tumor efficacy with chemotherapy. Cancer Immunol Immunother 2023; 72:667-678. [PMID: 36036818 DOI: 10.1007/s00262-022-03277-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
IL-1α and IL-1β are both involved in several aspects of tumor biology, including tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and not least in resistance to various therapies. IL-1α can function as an alarmin to signal cellular stress, and acts to induce downstream events, including production of IL-1β, to amplify the signal. Both IL-1α and IL-1β act through the same receptor complex, IL-1R1-IL1RAP, to mediate signal transduction. IL1RAP is expressed on tumor cells and in the tumor microenvironment by for example CAF, macrophages and endothelial cells. The anti-IL1RAP antibody nadunolimab (CAN04) inhibits both IL-1α and IL-1β signaling and induces ADCC of IL1RAP-expressing tumor cells. As both IL-1α and IL-1β mediate chemoresistance, the aim of this study was to explore the potential synergy between nadunolimab and chemotherapy. This was performed using the NSCLC PDX model LU2503 and the syngeneic MC38 model, in addition to in vitro cell line experiments. We show that chemotherapy induces expression and release of IL-1α from tumor cells and production of IL-1β-converting enzyme, ICE, in the tumor stroma. IL-1α is also demonstrated to act on stromal cells to further induce the secretion of IL-1β, an effect disrupted by nadunolimab. Nadunolimab, and its surrogate antibody, synergize with platinum-based as well as non-platinum-based chemotherapy to induce potent anti-tumor effects, while blockade of only IL-1β signaling by anti-IL-1β antibody does not achieve this effect. In conclusion, blockade of IL1RAP with nadunolimab reduces IL-1-induced chemoresistance of tumors.

Abstract
Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide and especially in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Despite recent progress in cancer therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells or antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), new targets expressed by the tumor cells need to be identified in order to selectively drive these innovative therapies to tumors. In this context, IL-1RAP recently showed great potential to become one of these new targets for cancer therapy. IL-1RAP is highly involved in the inflammation process through the interleukins 1, 33, and 36 (IL-1, IL-33, IL-36) signaling pathways. Inflammation is now recognized as a hallmark of carcinogenesis, suggesting that IL-1RAP could play a role in cancer development and progression. Furthermore, IL-1RAP was found overexpressed on tumor cells from several hematological and solid cancers, thus confirming its potential involvement in carcinogenesis. This review will first describe the structure and genetics of IL-1RAP as well as its role in tumor development. Finally, a focus will be made on the therapies based on IL-1RAP targeting, which are now under preclinical or clinical development.
