Abstract
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) is a potent regulator immune cell responses and a proven tumor suppressor. Inhibition of SOCS1 in T cells can boost antitumor immunity, whereas its loss in tumor cells increases tumor aggressivity. Investigations into the tumor suppression mechanisms so far focused on tumor cell-intrinsic functions of SOCS1. However, it is possible that SOCS1 expression in tumor cells also regulate antitumor immune responses in a cell-extrinsic manner via direct and indirect mechanisms. Here, we discuss the evidence supporting the latter, and its implications for antitumor immunity.
1 SOCS1-dependent checkpoints in innate and adaptive immune responses
SOCS1 is a negative feedback regulator of cytokine-induced Janus kinase (JAK)-Signal transducer and activation of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway and is the founding member of the SOCS protein family that contains eight members, namely, SOCS1 to SOCS7 and CISH (–). All SOCS family proteins have a central Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and a conserved SOCS box at the carboxy terminus. The SH2 domain interacts with phosphorylated JAKs and other phospho-tyrosine containing proteins, whereas the SOCS box promotes ubiquitination of many SOCS1-binding proteins for subsequent degradation by proteasomes (, ). Even though SOCS1 was discovered as an inhibitor of IL-6 signaling, generation of SOCS1-deficient mice revealed its indispensable role in attenuating IFNγ signaling and consequent inflammatory responses (–, , ). Reversal of IFNγ-driven perinatal lethality in SOCS1-deficient mice through ablation of the Rag2 gene indicated that T lymphocytes are the major producer of IFNγ in these mice (). SOCS1-dependent regulation of T cell activation is manifested predominantly in the CD8+ T cell compartment than in the CD4+ compartment (–). CD8+ T cells isolated from SOCS1-deficient mice display a memory-like phenotype and show increased sensitivity to the IL-2 family cytokines, especially IL-15 (–). T regulatory cells, which rely on IL-2 for survival and homeostasis, naturally downmodulate SOCS1 expression through constitutive expression of miR-155 that targets the Socs1 transcript ().
Aberrant activation of CD8+ T cells and their exuberant production of IFNγ in SOCS1-deficient mice could arise from the compound effect of (i) excess production of inflammatory cytokines from macrophages and dendritic cells that activate T cells, and (ii) increased cytokine-driven proliferation and consequent priming for antigen stimulation. SOCS1 is essential to control Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and thus macrophages and dendritic cells from SOCS1 deficient mice show increased production of inflammatory cytokines (–). Some of the inflammatory cytokines such as IL-16 and IL-21 can synergize with cytokines that promote T cell homeostasis such as IL-15 and IL-7 to induce antigen non-specific activation of naïve CD8+ T cells that acquire increased sensitivity to autoantigens (, ). We have shown that CD8+ T cells from SOCS1 deficient mice can elicit autoinflammatory disease upon recognition of cognate autoantigens (–). SOCS1 deficiency in myeloid and lymphoid cells has been shown to increase susceptibility to experimental inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (, ). Moreover, haploinsufficiency for the SOCS1 gene is associated with inflammatory syndrome and autoimmunity in human (, ).
The SOCS1-dependent checkpoint in T cells has been exploited to attenuate inflammatory diseases in experimental settings. A SOCS1-mimetic peptide Tkip, which resembles the peptide sequence surrounding the JAK-binding sequence of SOCS1, and similar peptides has been shown to inhibit inflammatory diseases such as experimental psoriasis and lung inflammation (–). In these settings, the SOCS1-mimetic peptide likely operates on both myeloid and T cells to attenuate their inflammatory responses. SOCS1-mimetic peptides can also impact parenchymal cells, as SOCS1 released from alveolar macrophages was reported to attenuate activation of airway epithelial cells ().
SOCS1 can also modulate antitumor immunity in different ways depending on its expression level in antitumor lymphocytes and in tumor cells. It restrains the effector functions of tumor reactive CD8+ T cells as transduction of with Socs1-targeting microRNA miR-155 into these cells enhances their cytokine responsiveness resulting in improved efficiency to control tumors (, ). On the other hand, many lines of evidence suggest that SOCS1 expression in cancer cells can positively impact the development of antitumor immune responses, for which we present evidence in the following sections.
2 Cell-intrinsic tumor suppression mechanisms of SOCS1
Following the seminal finding that the SOCS1 gene is repressed in hepatocellular carcinoma by promoter CpG methylation, similar epigenetic and miRNA-mediated SOCS1 loss has been reported in many cancers including, neuroblastoma, myeloid leukemias and colorectal, pancreatic, breast, prostate and ovarian cancers (, –). Genetic studies demonstrating the susceptibility of SOCS1-deficient mice to develop radiation-induced leukemias and to experimental induction of hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer confirm that SOCS1 is a bona fide tumor suppressor (–). The tumor suppressor function of SOCS1 can be attributed to various mechanisms, which may operate in various combinations in diverse cancers in a context-dependent manner. These include attenuation of cytokine- and growth factor- induced oncogenic signaling via JAK and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) (–), potentiation of p53-mediated tumor suppressor functions (, ), inhibition of the paradoxical oncogenic functions of tumor suppressors such as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A; commonly known as p21Cip1/WAF1) and NFE2 Like BZIP Transcription Factor 2 (NEF2L2; commonly known as Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 or NRF2) (, , , ). Moreover, SOCS1 expressed in mesenchymal cells can inhibit tumor promoting inflammatory cytokine signaling that establishes a tumor-promoting microenvironment (, , ). The cell-intrinsic tumor suppressor functions of SOCS1 were mostly gleaned from studies using overexpressed SOCS1, as endogenous SOCS1 is induced following exposure to cytokines, growth factors and myriad of other stimuli, and its expression regulated at the transcriptional and post-translational level. Among the potential tumor suppressor mechanisms of SOCS1, only the regulation of the oncogenic function of p21 is genetically proven (), and all other mechanisms remain to be tested.
3 Evidence for modulation of antitumor immunity by SOCS1 expressed in tumor cells
The idea that SOCS1 expressed in tumor cells may influence the induction of antitumor immune response came from one of our unpublished observations. While studying the tumor suppressor functions of SOCS1, we compared the murine hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hepa 1-6 expressing wildtype SOCS1 (Hepa-SOCS1), an SH2 domain mutant of SOCS1 (R105K) that does not inhibit IFNγ signaling (Hepa-SOCS1R) or a control vector (Hepa-Vector) () for their ability to form tumors. Consistent with the ability of SOCS1 to inhibit growth factor-induced RTK signaling, Hepa-SOCS1 cells showed appreciably reduced growth compared to Hepa-Vector or Hepa-SOCS1R cells in vitro, and this growth reduction was significant at higher cell densities (Figure 1A). Upon subcutaneous implantation in immuno-deficient NOD.scid.gamma (NSG) mice or immuno-competent C57BL/6 mice, Hepa-Vector cells formed large tumors, while Hepa-SOCS1 cells grew poorly in both hosts, consistent with the inhibition of mitogenic signals by SOCS1. On the other hand, Hepa-SOCS1R cells showed retarded growth in C57BL/6 mice but formed large tumors in NSG mice (Figures 1B, C). The possibility that the SOCS1R105K mutant might play a dominant negative role is unlikely because Hepa-SOCS1R cells did not grow more robustly than Hepa-Vector cells. Moreover, Hepa-SOCS1 and Hepa-SOCS1R tumors growing in C57BL/6 mice displayed more prominent inflammatory immune cell infiltrations adjacent to necrotic areas than Hepa-Vector tumors (Figure 1D). These data indicated that blocking the ability of SOCS1 to inhibit mitogenic cytokine and growth factor signaling using the R105K mutation has unmasked a hitherto unappreciated potential of SOCS1 in promoting antitumor immunity. We hypothesize that SOCS1 expressed in tumor cells could impact antitumor immune responses through multiple mechanisms that are discussed below.

4.1 Promoting tumor antigen processing and presentation
Even though silencing SOCS1 in dendritic cells has been shown to enhance antigen presentation and antitumor immunity (
Figure 2

Proposed roles of SOCS1 in enhancing antitumor immunity. The role of SOCS1 in promoting protein ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation has been well documented (A). Stable SOCS1 expression in cancer cells alters proteosome composition (B). Both (A, B) can modulate the generation of antigenic peptides for loading MHC-I. SOCS1 expression also modulates spliceosome and ribosome subunits (C), which could impact protein translation and could potentially contribute to the generation of non-canonical MHC-I binding peptides. These events could increase cross-dressing of dendritic cells by tumor cell derived MHC-I:peptide complexes and enhance activation of naïve antitumor CD8+ T cells and their differentiation towards CTLs. The ability of SOCS1 in activating p53 and senescence induction could potentially modulate p53-driven expression of NK cell ligands (D), which could impact NK-cell mediated tumor cell killing. As a critical regulator of IFNγ, SOCS1 can inhibit adaptive immunosuppression mediated by IFNγ-induced PD-L1 expression in tumor cells (E). Reported data are indicated by solid arrows. Proposed functions that need to be experimentally tested are indicated by dotted arrows. Figure created with Biorender.com.
In addition to binding proteins and targeting them for ubiquitination, SOCS1 has the potential to modulate both the cellular ubiquitination system and the proteasome composition. In a proteomic study using Hepa-vector and Hepa-SOCS1 cells, we observed that SOCS1 increased the expression of certain E2 Ub conjugation enzymes, which transfer the Ub moiety to the E3 ligase for eventual transfer to the substrate protein (
In normal and cancer cells, proteasomes play a crucial role in normal protein turn over as well as in degrading misfolded proteins (
4.2 Generation of non-canonical MHC-I peptides
The tumor immune surveillance concept postulates that the immune system is constantly on the lookout for cancer cells by recognizing abnormally expressed cellular proteins, which fall into two main groups (
We have observed that Hepa-SOCS1 cells displayed marked alterations in the constituents of spliceosome, a multiprotein complex involved in processing RNA transcripts to mediate splicing, remove intronic sequences and generate mRNA for translation (
4.3 Immune ligand expression by p53
Another potential influence of SOCS1 in modulating antitumor immune responses could occur via activating p53. In a cellular senescence model, oncogene-induced SOCS1 promotes p53 activation to induce senescence associated genes (
4.4 Inhibition of immune checkpoint ligand expression
Activated, cytotoxic CD8+ T cells generated in draining lymph nodes emigrate, enter circulation, infiltrate tumors, engage tumor cells expressing cognate tumor antigenic peptide and release their cytotoxic granules to kill tumors (
5 Restoring SOCS1 expression in cancers
The cell-intrinsic tumor suppressor functions of SOCS1 and its potential contribution to antitumor immune responses raised the possibility of restoring SOCS1 expression to control tumor growth. The SOCS1 mimetic peptide Tkip has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer growth in vitro (
6 Discussion
The role of SOCS1 as a tumor suppressor has been well established and some of the underlying mechanisms include attenuation of mitogenic cytokine and growth factor signaling via the JAK-STAT and RTK pathways, inhibition of oncogenic signaling proteins by promoting their ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, prevention of the oncogenic potential of tumor suppressors such as p21 and inhibition of NRF2-mediated tumor cell adaptation to elevated oxidative stress associated with neoplastic growth. Here, we have presented evidence that support potential cell-extrinsic role of SOCS1 in facilitating tumor immune surveillance and immune cell mediated tumor growth control via promoting tumor antigen processing and presentation, generation of non-canonical MHC-I peptides, expression of immune cell ligands and inhibition of immune checkpoint ligand expression (Figure 2). Validating these hypotheses will provide a compelling argument for the use of epigenetic modifying drugs to reverse SOCS1 gene repression to restore cell-intrinsic tumor suppressor functions as well as cell-extrinsic impact on antitumor immunity.
