S100A7 promotes lung adenocarcinoma to squamous carcinoma transdifferentiation, and its expression is differentially regulated by the Hippo-YAP pathway in lung cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study revealed that S100A7 was selectively expressed in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues but not in adenocarcinoma. Thus far, the functions of S100A7 in lung cancer have remained largely unknown. Here, we reveal that S100A7 overexpression facilitates the transdifferentiation from adenocarcinoma (ADC) to squamous carcinoma (SCC) in several lung cancer cells, which is confirmed by an increase in DNp63 expression and a decrease in thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) and aspartic proteinase napsin (napsin A) expression. Further study finds that activation of the Hippo pathway induces S100A7 expression and further confirms that nuclear YAP acts as a repressor of S100A7 in H292 cells. Subsequently, we verify that TEAD1 is required for YAP transcriptional repression of S100A7. More importantly, we determine that S100A7 overexpression partially rescues lung ADC to SCC transdifferentiation inhibited by YAP overexpression in all tested cells, suggesting that S100A7 and YAP have the opposite effects on lung ADC to SCC conversion. Taken together, our study demonstrates for the first time that S100A7 not only functions as a facilitator of adenous-squamous carcinoma phenotypic transition in lung cancer cells but also that its expression is differentially regulated by the Hippo-YAP pathway.

Project description:BackgroundS100A8 and S100A9, two heterodimer-forming members of the S100 family, aberrantly express in a variety of cancer types. However, little is known about the mechanism that regulates S100A8/S100A9 co-expression in cancer cells.MethodsThe expression level of S100A8/S100A9 measured in three squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) cell lines and their corresponding xenografts, as well as in 257 SCC tissues. The correlation between S100A8/S100A9, Hippo pathway and F-actin cytoskeleton were evaluated using western blot, qPCR, ChIP and Immunofluorescence staining tests. IncuCyte ZOOM long time live cell image monitoring system, qPCR and Flow Cytometry measured the effects of S100A8/S100A9 and YAP on cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis.ResultsHere, we report that through activation of the Hippo pathway, suspension and dense culture significantly induce S100A8/S100A9 co-expression and co-localization in SCC cells. Furthermore, these expressional characteristics of S100A8/S100A9 also observed in the xenografts derived from the corresponding SCC cells. Importantly, Co-expression of S100A8/S100A9 detected in 257 SCC specimens derived from five types of SCC tissues. Activation of the Hippo pathway by overexpression of Lats1, knockdown of YAP, as well as disruption of F-actin indeed obviously results in S100A8/S100A9 co-expression in attached SCC cells. Conversely, inhibition of the Hippo pathway leads to S100A8/S100A9 co-expression in a manner opposite of cell suspension and dense. In addition, we found that TEAD1 is required for YAP-induced S100A8/S100A9-expressions. The functional studies provide evidence that knockdown of S100A8/S100A9 together significantly inhibit cell proliferation but promote squamous differentiation and apoptosis.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate for the first time that the expression of S100A8/S100A9 is inducible by changes of cell shape and density through activation of the Hippo pathway in SCC cells. Induced S100A8/S100A9 promoted cell proliferation, inhibit cell differentiation and apoptosis.
