The reprogramming of tumor stroma by HSF1 is a potent enabler of malignancy

ABSTRACT: Stromal cells within the tumor microenvironment are essential for tumor progression and metastasis. Yet surprisingly little is known about the factors that drive the transcriptional reprogramming of stromal cells within tumors. We report that the transcriptional regulator Heat-Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is activated in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and is a potent enabler of malignancy. In CAFs, HSF1 drives a transcriptional program that complements, yet is completely different from, the program it drives in adjacent cancer cells. This CAF program is uniquely structured to support the malignant potential of cancer cells in a non-cell-autonomous way and involves two central stromal signaling moleculesM-bM-^@M-^TTGFM-NM-2 and stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF1). As clinical confirmation, in early stage breast and lung cancer high stromal HSF1 activation is strongly associated with poor patient outcome. Thus, cancers co-opt the ancient, multifaceted survival functions of HSF1 to orchestrate malignant progression in unexpected ways that have far-reaching therapeutic implications. Gene expression data We used microarrays to examine the HSF1-dependent effect of co-culture on gene expression in cancer cells and fibroblasts. D2A1 mouse breast cancer cells were co-cultured with WT or Hsf1 null MEFs for 72h, afterwhich the two cell types were separated from each other by FACS and analyzed. Each cell type was also grown separately, as control.

Heat Shock Factor 1-dependent extraceHeat Shock Factor 1-dependent extracellular matrix remodeling mediates the transition from chronic intestinal inflammation to colon cancerllular matrix remodeling mediates the transition from chronic intestinal inflammation to colon cancer

Project description:Chronic inflammation underlies tumor initiation, progression, invasion, and metastasis. In the colon, long-term exposure to chronic inflammation drives colitis associated colon cancer (CAC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While the causal and clinical links between chronic inflammation and CAC are well established, our molecular understanding of how chronic inflammation leads to the development of colon cancer is still lacking. Here we deconstruct the evolving microenvironment of CAC, by measuring proteomic changes and extracellular matrix (ECM) organization over time in a genetically modified mouse model of CAC. We detect early changes in ECM structure and composition, and report that the transcriptional regulator heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) plays a crucial role in orchestrating these events. Activated in stromal fibroblasts of the gut, HSF1 promotes ECM remodeling and inflammatory programs which lead to the development of CAC. Loss of HSF1 abrogates ECM assembly by colon fibroblasts in cell culture, prevents inflammation-induced ECM remodeling in mice and significantly inhibits progression to CAC. Establishing the relevance of our experimental findings to human disease, we find high activation of stromal HSF1 in CAC patients, and detect the HSF1-dependent proteomic ECM signature in human colorectal cancer. Thus, HSF1-dependent ECM remodeling plays a crucial role in mediating inflammation-driven colon cancer.

BRCA mutational status shapes the stromal microenvironment of pancreatic cancer linking CLU+ CAF expression with HSF1 signaling (PSC)

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) give rise to desmoplastic stroma, which supports tumor progression and metastasis, and comprises up to 90% of the tumor mass in pancreatic cancer. Recent work by us and others has shown that CAFs are transcriptionally rewired by adjacent cancer cells to form heterogeneous subtypes. Whether this rewiring is differentially affected by different driver mutations in cancer cells is largely unknown. Here we address this question by dissecting and comparing the stromal landscape of BRCA-mutated and BRCA Wild-type (WT) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We comprehensively analyze PDAC samples from a cohort of 42 patients by laser-capture microdissection, RNA-sequencing and multiplexed immunofluorescence, revealing different CAF subtype compositions in germline BRCA-mutated vs. BRCA-WT tumors. In particular, we detect an increase in a subset of Clusterin (CLU)-positive CAFs in BRCA-mutated tumors. Using cancer organoids, co-cultures and in-vivo models we show that loss of BRCA function in cancer cells leads to a transcriptional shift of pancreatic stellate cells from myofibroblastic into immune-regulatory CLU+ CAFs. This process is mediated through activation of heat-shock factor 1 (HSF1), the transcriptional regulator of Clu. Our findings unravel a new dimension of stromal heterogeneity, influenced by germline mutations in cancer cells, with direct translational implications for clinical research.

HSF2 cooperates with HSF1 to drive a transcriptional program critical for the malignant state

Project description:Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is well known for its role in the heat shock response (HSR), where it drives a transcriptional program comprising heat shock protein (HSP) genes, and in tumorigenesis, where it drives a program comprising HSPs and many non-canonical target genes that support malignancy. Here, we find that HSF2, an HSF1 paralog with no significant role in the HSR, physically and functionally interacts with HSF1 across diverse types of cancer. HSF1 and HSF2 have strikingly similar chromatin occupancy and regulate a common set of genes which include both HSPs and non-canonical transcriptional targets with roles critical in supporting malignancy. Loss of either HSF1 or HSF2 results in a dysregulated response to nutrient stresses in vitro and reduced tumor progression in cancer cell line xenografts. Taken together, these findings establish HSF2 as a critical cofactor of HSF1 in driving a cancer cell transcriptional program to support the anabolic malignant state.

RNA sequencing of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and normal fibroblasts from a triple-transgenic gastric cancer mouse model

Project description:Gastric cancer is the 3rd most lethal cancer worldwide, and the genomic status of its cancer cells has not translated into effective prognostic or therapeutic strategies. We therefore hypothesize that outcomes may depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME), and in particular cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). However, very little is known about the role of CAFs in gastric cancer. To address this, we map the transcriptional landscape of human gastric cancer stroma by microdissection and RNA sequencing of CAFs from gastric cancer patients. We find a stromal gene signature associated with poor disease outcome. This signature is regulated by the transcription factor Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), that activates CAF-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) that transfer components including Inhibin Subunit Beta A (INHBA) and Thrombospondin 2 (THBS2), to the TME to promote cancer. Together, our work provides the first transcriptional map of human gastric cancer stroma, and highlights HSF1 and its transcriptional targets as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in the genomically stable tumor microenvironment.

Isolation and characterization of cancer-associated fibroblast-like cells in the glioblastoma microenvironment

Project description:Glioblastoma (GB) is a highly infiltrative tumor recurring in 90% of cases within a few centimeters of the resection cavity, even in cases of complete tumor resection and adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy. This observation highlights the importance of understanding this special zone of brain tissue surrounding the tumor. It is becoming clear that the non neoplastic stromal compartment of most solid cancers plays an active role in tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Very little information, other than that concerning angiogenesis and immune cells, has been collected for stromal cells from GB. As part of a translational research program, we have isolated a new stromal cell population surrounding GB by computer-guided stereotaxic biopsies and primary culture. We named these cells GB-associated stromal cells (GASCs). GASCs are diploid, do not display the genomic alterations typical of GB cells and have phenotypic and functional properties in common with the cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the stroma of carcinomas. In particular, GASCs express markers associated with CAFs such as alpha-smooth muscle actin (Î±-SMA) and platelet derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFRÎ²). Furthermore, as described for CAFs, GASCs have a molecular expression profile different from that of control stromal cells derived from non-GB peripheral brain tissues. GASCs were also found to have tumor-promoting effects on glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. The isolation of GASCs in a tumor of neuroepithelial origin was unexpected and further studies are required to determine their potential as a target for anti-glioma treatment. 3 control stromal cells and 4 GB-associated stromal cells were analysed.
