Abstract
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often achieve remission after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) but subsequently die of relapse driven by leukemia cells resistant to elimination by allogeneic T cells based on decreased major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II) expression and apoptosis resistance. Here we demonstrate that mouse-double-minute-2 (MDM2) inhibition can counteract immune evasion of AML. MDM2 inhibition induced MHC class I and II expression in murine and human AML cells. Using xenografts of human AML and syngeneic mouse models of leukemia, we show that MDM2 inhibition enhanced cytotoxicity against leukemia cells and improved survival. MDM2 inhibition also led to increases in tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor-1 and -2 (TRAIL-R1/2) on leukemia cells and higher frequencies of CD8+CD27lowPD-1lowTIM-3low T cells, with features of cytotoxicity (perforin+CD107a+TRAIL+) and longevity (bcl-2+IL-7R+). CD8+ T cells isolated from leukemia-bearing MDM2 inhibitor-treated allo-HCT recipients exhibited higher glycolytic activity and enrichment for nucleotides and their precursors compared with vehicle control subjects. T cells isolated from MDM2 inhibitor-treated AML-bearing mice eradicated leukemia in secondary AML-bearing recipients. Mechanistically, the MDM2 inhibitor-mediated effects were p53-dependent because p53 knockdown abolished TRAIL-R1/2 and MHC-II upregulation, whereas p53 binding to TRAILR1/2 promotors increased upon MDM2 inhibition. The observations in the mouse models were complemented by data from human individuals. Patient-derived AML cells exhibited increased TRAIL-R1/2 and MHC-II expression on MDM2 inhibition. In summary, we identified a targetable vulnerability of AML cells to allogeneic T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity through the restoration of p53-dependent TRAIL-R1/2 and MHC-II production via MDM2 inhibition.

Abstract
Individuals with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring an internal tandem duplication (ITD) in the gene encoding Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) who relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) have a 1-year survival rate below 20%. We observed that sorafenib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, increased IL-15 production by FLT3-ITD+ leukemia cells. This synergized with the allogeneic CD8+ T cell response, leading to long-term survival in six mouse models of FLT3-ITD+ AML. Sorafenib-related IL-15 production caused an increase in CD8+CD107a+IFN-γ+ T cells with features of longevity (high levels of Bcl-2 and reduced PD-1 levels), which eradicated leukemia in secondary recipients. Mechanistically, sorafenib reduced expression of the transcription factor ATF4, thereby blocking negative regulation of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) activation, which enhanced IL-15 transcription. Both IRF7 knockdown and ATF4 overexpression in leukemia cells antagonized sorafenib-induced IL-15 production in vitro. Human FLT3-ITD+ AML cells obtained from sorafenib responders following sorafenib therapy showed increased levels of IL-15, phosphorylated IRF7, and a transcriptionally active IRF7 chromatin state. The mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity and glycolytic capacity of CD8+ T cells increased upon sorafenib treatment in sorafenib responders but not in nonresponders. Our findings indicate that the synergism of T cells and sorafenib is mediated via reduced ATF4 expression, causing activation of the IRF7-IL-15 axis in leukemia cells and thereby leading to metabolic reprogramming of leukemia-reactive T cells in humans. Therefore, sorafenib treatment has the potential to contribute to an immune-mediated cure of FLT3-ITD-mutant AML relapse, an otherwise fatal complication after allo-HCT.
