Tissue factor associates with survival and regulates tumour progression in osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumour. Patients often develop lung metastasis and have a poor prognosis despite extensive chemotherapy and surgical resections. Tissue Factor is associated with poor clinical outcome in a wide range of cancer types, and promotes angiogenesis and metastasis. The role of Tissue Factor in OS tumourigenesis is unknown. Fifty-three osteosarcoma pre-treatment biopsies and four osteosarcoma cell lines were evaluated for Tissue Factor expression, and a possible association with clinical parameters was investigated. Tissue Factor function was inhibited in an osteosarcoma cell line (143B) by shRNA knockdown or specific antibodies, and pro-tumourigenic gene expression, proliferation, matrigel invasion and transwell migration was examined. 143B cells were implanted in mice in the presence of Tissue Factor-blocking antibodies, and tumour volume, micro-vessel density and metastases in the lung were evaluated. Tissue Factor was highly expressed in 73.6?% of osteosarcoma biopsies, and expression associated significantly with disease-free survival. Tissue Factor was expressed in all four investigated cell lines. Tissue Factor was knocked down in 143B cells, which led to reduced expression of IL-8, CXCL-1, SNAIL and MMP2, but not MMP9. Tissue Factor knockdown or inhibition with antibodies reduced matrigel invasion. Tissue Factor antibodies limited 143B tumour growth in vivo, and resulted in decreased intra-tumoural micro-vessel density. Furthermore, lung metastasis from the primary tumour was significantly reduced. Thus, Tissue Factor expression in osteosarcoma reduces metastasis-free survival in patients, and increases pro-tumourigenic behaviour both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents. Procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 2 (PLOD2) is a key gene in mediating the formation of the stabilized collagen cross-link, playing an important role in the progression of cancer. However, the interaction between OS and PLOD2 has not been clarified so far.MethodsThe target gene PLOD2 was screened through our own RNA-seq results and other two RNA-seq results from GEO database. The expression of PLOD2 in OS was detected by RT-qPCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Functional experiments were performed to investigate the role of PLOD2 in OS cell invasion, migration and angiogenesis in vitro. An OS lung metastasis model was established to investigate the function of PLOD2 in OS metastasis and angiogenesis in vivo. The role of PLOD2 in immune infiltration in OS was explored by KEGG/GO analysis and immune infiltration analysis with TARGET, TCGA and TIMER.ResultsPLOD2 was high-expressed in OS, which was related to poor prognosis of OS patients. PLOD2 promoted OS cell migration, invasion and angiogenesis in vitro and aggravated OS metastasis and angiogenesis in vivo. Bioinformatic analysis showed that PLOD2 played an important role in immune cell infiltration in OS, including CD8 positive T cells, macrophages M0 cells, DC cells, endothelial cells, iDC cells, ly endothelial cells, MEP cells, mv endothelial cells, native B cells, smooth muscle cells and Th1 cells. Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of CD4 and CD8A was negatively correlated with the expression of PLOD2 in OS.ConclusionPLOD2 was high-expressed in OS and promoted OS migration, invasion and angiogenesis in vitro and facilitated OS metastasis and angiogenesis in vivo. PLOD2 was associated with immune cell infiltration in OS, which could be a promising target to treat OS patients with metastasis and utilized to guide clinical immunotherapy in the future.

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and despite improvements in treatment regimens, patient prognosis remains poor. Lung adenocarcinomas develop from the lung epithelia and understanding how specific genetic and environmental factors lead to oncogenic transformation in these cells is of great importance to define the pathways that contribute to tumorigenesis. The recent rise in the use of immunotherapy to treat different cancers has prompted the exploration of immune modulators in tumour cells that may provide new targets to manipulate this process. Of these, the B7 family of cell surface receptors, which includes PD-1, is of particular interest due to its role in modulating immune cell responses within the tumour microenvironment. B7-H3 (CD276) is one family member that is upregulated in many cancer types and suggested to contribute to tumour-immune interactions. However, the function and ligand(s) for this receptor in normal lung epithelia and the mechanisms through which the overexpression of B7-H3 regulate cancer progression in the absence of immune cell interactions remain unclear. Here, we present evidence that B7-H3 is associated with one of the key rate-limiting metabolic enzymes IMPDH2, and the localisation of this complex is altered in human lung cancer cells that express high levels of B7-H3. Mechanistically, the IMPDH2:B7-H3 complex provides a protective role in cancer cells to escape oxidative stress triggered by chemotherapy, thus leading to cell survival. We further demonstrate that the loss of B7-H3 in cancer cells has no effect on growth or migration in 2D but promotes the expansion of 3D spheroids in an IMPDH2-dependent manner. These findings provide new insights into the B7-H3 function in the metabolic homeostasis of normal and transformed lung cancer cells, and whilst this molecule remains an interesting target for immunotherapy, these findings caution against the use of anti-B7-H3 therapies in certain clinical settings.
