Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a characteristically dense stroma comprised predominantly of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs promote tumor growth, metastasis and treatment resistance. We aimed to investigate the molecular changes and functional consequences associated with chemotherapy treatment of PDAC CAFs. Chemoresistant immortalized CAFs (R-CAFs) were generated by continuous incubation in 100nM gemcitabine. Gene expression differences between treatment naïve CAFs (N-CAFs) and R-CAFs were compared by array analysis. Immortalized human pancreatic CAFs were grown for 30 days in either control media or media containing 100nM gemcitabine. RNA was then isolated and hybidized on U133 Plus 2.0 Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:To identify miRNA differentially expressed in CAFs vs matched NFs and analyze the heterogeneity of miRNA expression profiles in the two kinds of cells, we established primary cultures of CAFs and paired NFs from six resected breast tumor tissue without any radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Paired CAFs and NFs from six primary human breast carcinoma specimens were cultured,the third passage of primary cells was used in the experiments.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignancy that resists current treatments. To test epigenetic therapy against this cancer we used the DNA demethylating drug 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (DAC) in a KrasLSL-G12D; p53LSL-R270H/+; Pdx1-cre; Brca1flex2/flex2 (KPC-Brca1) mouse model of aggressive stroma-rich PDAC. In untreated tumors, we found globally decreased 5-methyl-cytosine (5mC) in malignant epithelial cells and in cancer-associated myofibroblasts (CAFs), and increased amounts of 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine (5HmC) in CAFs, in progression from pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) to PDAC. DAC further reduced DNA methylation and slowed PDAC progression, markedly extending survival in an early treatment protocol and significantly though transiently inhibiting tumor growth when initiated later, without adverse side effects. Escaping tumors contained areas of sarcomatoid transformation with disappearance of CAFs. Mixing-allografting experiments and proliferation indices showed that DAC efficacy was due to inhibition of both the malignant epithelial cells and the stromal CAFs. Expression profiling and immunohistochemistry highlighted DAC-induction of STAT1 in the tumors, and DAC plus gamma-interferon produced an additive anti-proliferative effect on PDAC cells. DAC induced strong expression of the testis antigen DAZL in CAFs. These data show that DAC is effective against PDAC in vivo and provide a rationale for future studies combining hypomethylating agents with cytokines and immunotherapy. Treatment of a short-term explant culture of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from a KPC-Brca1 mouse pancreatic carcinoma, with 2 micromolar 5-aza-dC (decitabine; DAC) for 48 hours. The experiment includes 3 replicate plates untreated and 3 replicates treated.

Project description:This study aims to identify genes differentially expressed in oral CAFs with respect to their normal counterparts, i.e. oral NFs. We collected oral normal mucosal tissues and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues from 12 healthy people and 12 OSCC patients, respectively, at West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuang University, P. R. China. The tissues were isolated, cultured and purified using standard protocols to obtain oral NFs and CAFs. Agilent 4×44K Whole Genome Oligo Microarrays were used to measure the gene expression profiles of the samples. Sample preparation and hybrid reactions were performed according to the manufacture’s instructions. RNA samples from NFs and CAFs were pooled respectively before hybridization. The chips were scanned and visualized using the Agilent DNA microarray scanner. Probe set intensities were measured using Agilent Feature Extraction software (version 10.5.1.1). Raw data were normalized in the Agilent GeneSpring GX software (version 11.0) using the Agilent FE one-color scenario (mainly median normalization). Oral NFs and CAFs were obtained from tissues derived from 12 healthy people undergoing plastic surgery and 12 OSCC patiens undergoing surgical resection. RNA samples from NFs and CAFs were pooled respectively before hybridization.

Project description:To study bi-directional signaling between cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and cancer cells, we used stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) to determine changes in tyrosine phosphorylation upon direct contact of the two cell types.

Project description:While of growing interest in pancreatic cancer (PC) field, the stromal-tumor cells crosstalk lags behind in terms of biomarkers and therapeutic options improving the clinical armamentarium. Knowledge on cellular communications was drastically enhanced following the discovery of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a powerful process of intercellular exchanges. We previously described a new stromal-tumor cell crosstalk mediated by Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs)-derived ANXA6+-EVs, supporting pancreatic cancer cell aggressiveness in hostile areas of PC. In this study, using mass spectrometry analyses to investigate CAFs-derived EVs' cargo, we report that CD9 is a key member of the ANXA6/LRP1/TSP1 complex present in PC-associated CAFs-derived ANXA6+-EVs. We determined that CD9 is expressed by PC-associated CAFs in vivo as well as in vitro following physiopathologic culture conditions. Targeting CD9 impaired CAFs-derived ANXA6+-EVs uptake by pancreatic cancer cells, which consequently decreases their migratory abilities. Signaling pathway arrays highlighted p38/MAPK as activated in pancreatic cancer cells following CAFs-derived ANXA6+/CD9+-EVs uptake. The use of CD9 blocking antibody, p38 siRNA or chemical inhibitors impaired pancreatic cancer cells abilities following incubation with CAFs-derived ANXA6+/CD9+-EVs. Finally, we revealed CD9 expression as an independent poor-prognosis marker in human PC samples. Collectively our data highlight the key role of CD9 in CAFs-derived ANXA6+-EVs internalization by pancreatic cancer cells and the consequent, and mandatory, activation of p38/MAPK pathway to foster their migratory abilities. Measuring the oncogenic CAFs-derived ANXA6+/CD9+-EVs then limiting their action on pancreatic cancer cells abilities might be a promising option for PC stratification and treatment.

Project description:SCC12 cells were seeded ontop of organotypic gels with HN-CAF (head and neck carcinoma associated fibroblasts). Differential gene expression was analysed between cancer cells not exposed to CAFs or non-invading cancer cells exposed to CAFs. Squamous cell cancer organotypics were constructed by embedding CAFs in collagen Matrigel matrix with SCC 12cells added on top. Gene expression was compared between non-invaded cancer cells and cancer cells not expoesd to CAFs.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an important component of the desmoplastic stroma in rectal cancer. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy plays a pivotal role in the management of locally advanced rectal cancer. Patient-derived CAFs were used to evaluate the response to radiotherapy and its consequent impact on colorectal cancer cells (COLO320DM). COLO320DM cells were seeded and 24 hours later 1.8Gy irradiated. Subsequently, 24h later COLO320DM cells were treated with the secretome of 10x 1.8Gy irradiated CAFs or sham treated CAFs in 0.5% of serum. RNA was isolated 6 hours or 48 hours later.

Project description:The first step in metastasis is dissemination of tumor cells into the surrounding tissue, or stroma. In carcinomas, cancers of epithelial origin, tumor cells must first breach the basement membrane (BM), a network that encapsulates the tumor. As tumor progresses, other cell types that reside in the stroma, such as carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) accumulate around the tumor. Whether CAFs can help cancer cells to breach the BM remains an open question. Here we show that CAFs promote cancer cell invasion by physically remodeling the BM. Using a novel 3D in vitro model we observed that primary CAFs isolated from colon cancer patients stimulate cancer cell invasion through a native mesenteric BM. This stimulated invasion is the result of the physical presence of CAFs rather than an increased invasive potential of cancer cells. In the presence of CAFs, cancer cells can invade the BM in a matrix metalloproteinase-independent manner. Using live imaging, we found that CAFs actively pull and stretch the BM, leading to the formation of gaps through which cancer cells can migrate. Notably, CAF-mediated gap-widening is independent of proteolysis but relies on actomyosin contractility. We propose that CAFs exert mechanical forces that alter the organization and the physical properties of the BM, making it permissive for cancer cell invasion.
