Upregulated Collagen COL10A1 Remodels the Extracellular Matrix and Promotes Malignant Progression in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Collagens are major components of the ECM in various organs, including the lungs. Ectopic expression of collagens can regulate the tumor progression and disease outcome through remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, it remains largely unexplored whether collagens are involved in the tumor progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Analysis of three LUAD transcriptional expression profiles showed that COL10A1 mRNA expression was up-regulated and associated with poor prognosis. Gain- and loss-of-function studies were performed to observe that up-regulated COL10A1 promotes LUAD cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and in vivo. In molecular mechanism study, we found that COL10A1 interacts with DDR2 and affects the downstream FAK signaling pathway to regulate LUAD cell progression. The expression of COL10A1 on tissue microarray (TMA) was also measured to explore the association between COL10A1 expression and patient outcome. The results addressed that COL10A1 is up-regulated and positively correlated with lymph node metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma, and the COL10A1 expression is also an independent prognostic factor. In summary, the up-regulated COL10A1 remodels the ECM and the COL10A1/DDR2/FAK axis regulates the proliferation and metastasis of LUAD cells, implying that COL10A1 is a promising therapeutic target and prognostic marker for LUAD patients.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a lethal malignant tumour. Further study is needed to determine the molecular mechanism and identify novel biomarkers of PAAD.MethodsGene expression data from the GSE62165 microarray were analysed with the online software Morpheus to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The STRING database was used to generate a protein‒protein interaction (PPI) network for these DEGs. Hub genes were identified with Cytoscape. COL10A1 expression in PAAD was analysed via the GEPIA database. COL10A1 expression in pancreatic cancer cell lines was measured by using qRT‒PCR. The LinkedOmics database was utilized to perform survival analysis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients grouped based on COL10A1 expression level. CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays were used to study the role of COL10A1 in pancreatic cancer cell viability, migration, and invasion. Differentially expressed genes that were related to COL10A1 in PAAD were analysed via the LinkedOmics portal. After COL10A1 was knocked down, CD276 expression was assessed by western blotting.ResultsCOL10A1 was identified as one of the hub genes in PAAD by bioinformatics analysis of the GSE62165 microarray with Morpheus, the STRING database and Cytoscape. GEPIA revealed elevated expression of COL10A1 in PAAD samples vs. normal samples. COL10A1 expression was also increased in pancreatic cancer cells vs. control cells. Survival analysis of PAAD patients via LinkedOmics revealed that high expression of COL10A1 was associated with a poorer prognosis. Knockdown of COL10A1 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cells in functional assays. Furthermore, mechanistic studies indicated that CD276 was a target of COL10A1 and that knockdown of COL10A1 decreased CD276 expression. Overexpression of CD276 in cells reversed COL10A1 knockdown-induced repression of proliferation and migration.ConclusionsOur research suggests that COL10A1 promotes pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis by regulating CD276. This study provides new insight into biomarkers and possible targets for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most intractable malignancies to overcome clinically due to its insidious onset as well as rapid progression. It is urgent to seek new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in order to furthest ameliorate the prognosis of patients with PDAC. V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 2 (VSIG2) belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), which function as coinhibitory molecule to mediate immune evasion of tumors. Nevertheless, the role of VSIG2 in PDAC and related mechanism still keep unclear.MethodsDifferent expression of VSIG2 in PDAC tissues and cells were detected by bioinformatic analysis, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative PCR as well as western blotting. CCK-8, colony formation, Transwell assay, and scratch experiment were utilized to assess proliferation, invasion and migration properties of PDAC cells. The relationship of VSIG2 with late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 2 (LAMTOR2) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) was identified using mass spectrometry, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed for further pathway verification using western blotting. Additionally, subcutaneous xenograft tumor model and clinical samples analysis were implemented to further elucidate the oncogenic effect of VSIG2 on PDAC in vivo and clinically.ResultsVSIG2 was highly expressed in PDAC tissues and cells. Overexpression of VSIG2 facilitated the proliferation, invasion and migration abilities of PDAC cells, while VSIG2-inhibition exerted opposite effects. Mechanistically, VSIG2 could simultaneously bind to LAMTOR2 and mTOR, thereby enhancing interaction between two molecules, which resulted in elevated phosphorylation-modificatory activation of mTOR and downstream key molecules. Clinically, up-regulation of VSIG2 was positively associated with advanced stage, overall survival and disease-free survival of PDAC patients.ConclusionsOur study disclosed that VSIG2 was overexpressed in PDAC, which promoted the proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Mechanically, VSIG2 acted as a scaffold to recruit LAMTOR2 and mTOR simultaneously, stabilize the interaction between them, thus enhancing LAMTOR2-mediated mTOR phosphorylated activation. Collectively, VSIG2 could be exploited as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis monitor of PDAC in the future, meanwhile, targeting VSIG2 in PDAC management is expected to be a novel strategy.
