IL-1/IL-1R Signaling in Head and Neck Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Decades ago, the study of cancer biology was mainly focused on the tumor itself, paying little attention to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Currently, it is well recognized that the TME plays a vital role in cancer development and progression, with emerging treatment strategies focusing on different components of the TME, including tumoral cells, blood vessels, fibroblasts, senescent cells, inflammatory cells, inflammatory factors, among others. There is a well-accepted relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Interleukin-1 (IL-1), a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine commonly found at tumor sites, is considered one of the most important inflammatory factors in cancer, and has been related with carcinogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. Increasing evidence has linked development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with chronic inflammation, and particularly, with IL-1 signaling. This review focuses on the most important members of the IL-1 family, with emphasis on how their aberrant expression can promote HNSCC development and metastasis, highlighting possible clinical applications.

Cancer-associated Fibroblast-derived IL-6 Promotes Head and Neck Cancer Progression via the Osteopontin-NF-kappa B Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Osteopontin (OPN), a chemokine-like protein, plays a crucial role in the proliferation and metastasis of various cancers. However, how tumor stroma modulates the expression of neoplastic OPN and the multifaceted roles of OPN in head and neck cancer (HNC) are unclear. In this study, we tried to investigate the bridging role of OPN between tumor stroma and cancer cells. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR were used to detect OPN expression in HNC tissues, and the correlations between OPN expression and clinicopathologic features were then analyzed. We used a co-culture assay to study the modulatory role of IL-6 on OPN expression and immunoprecipitation analysis was used to determine the endogenous interaction between OPN and integrin αvβ3. Furthermore, a xenograft assay was carried out to confirm the tumor-promoting role and the potential therapeutic value of OPN in HNC. Results: We found that OPN was significantly up-regulated in HNCs, and the elevated OPN was correlated with poor prognosis. Moreover, we identified IL-6 secreted by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) as the major upstream molecule that triggers the induction of neoplastic OPN. As such, during the interaction of fibroblasts and cancer cells, the increased neoplastic OPN induced by stromal IL-6 accelerated the growth, migration and invasion of cancer cells. More importantly, we also showed that soluble OPN could promote HNC progression via the integrin αvβ3-NF-kappa B pathway, and the combination of OPN and IL-6 had a better prognostic and diagnostic performance in HNC than either molecule alone. Conclusion: Our study identified a novel modulatory role for OPN in HNC progression and further demonstrated that the combination of OPN and IL-6 might be a promising prognostic and diagnostic indicator as well as a potential cancer therapeutic target.

Cancer Stem Cell Signaling during Repopulation in Head and Neck Cancer.

Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate cancer stem signaling during the repopulation response of a head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) xenograft after radiation treatment. Xenografts were generated from low passage HNSCC cells and were treated with either sham radiation or 15?Gy in one fraction. At different time points, days 0, 3, and 10 for controls and days 4, 7, 12, and 21, after irradiation, 3 tumors per group were harvested for global gene expression, pathway analysis, and immunohistochemical evaluation. 316 genes were identified that were associated with a series of stem cell-related genes and were differentially expressed (p ? 0.01 and 1.5-fold) at a minimum of one time point in UT-SCC-14 xenografts after radiation. The largest network of genes that showed significant changes after irradiation was associated with CD44, NOTCH1, and MET. c-MET and ALDH1A3 staining correlated with the changes in gene expression. A clear pattern emerged that was consistent with the growth inhibition data in that genes associated with stem cell pathways were most active at day 7 and day 12 after irradiation. The MET/CD44 axis seemed to be an important component of the repopulation response.

IL-1R-MyD88 signaling in keratinocyte transformation and carcinogenesis.

Project description:Constitutively active RAS plays a central role in the development of human cancer and is sufficient to induce tumors in two-stage skin carcinogenesis. RAS-mediated tumor formation is commonly associated with up-regulation of cytokines and chemokines that mediate an inflammatory response considered relevant to oncogenesis. In this study, we report that mice lacking IL-1R or MyD88 are less sensitive to topical skin carcinogenesis than their respective wild-type (WT) controls. MyD88(-/-) or IL-1R(-/-) keratinocytes expressing oncogenic RAS are hyperproliferative and fail to up-regulate proinflammatory genes or down-regulate differentiation markers characteristic of RAS-expressing WT keratinocytes. Although RAS-expressing MyD88(-/-) keratinocytes form only a few small tumors in orthotopic grafts, IL-1R-deficient RAS-expressing keratinocytes retain the ability to form tumors in orthotopic grafts. Using both genetic and pharmacological approaches, we find that the differentiation and proinflammatory effects of oncogenic RAS in keratinocytes require the establishment of an autocrine loop through IL-1?, IL-1R, and MyD88 leading to phosphorylation of I?B? and NF-?B activation. Blocking IL-1?-mediated NF-?B activation in RAS-expressing WT keratinocytes reverses the differentiation defect and inhibits proinflammatory gene expression. Collectively, these results demonstrate that MyD88 exerts a cell-intrinsic function in RAS-mediated transformation of keratinocytes.

IL-1R signaling drives enteric glia-macrophage interactions in colorectal cancer

Project description:To investigate the effect of transcriptomic changes in colorectal cancer, we performed 3' bulk mRNA sequencing of naive and AOM/DSS treated mice. Mice were subjected to the AOM/DSS mouse model for colorectal cancer or kept under naive conditions. Samples of the most distal 0.5 cm of the colon were taken on day 70 of the model and processed for 3' bulk mRNA sequencing.

RNF152 positively regulates TLR/IL-1R signaling by enhancing MyD88 oligomerization.

Project description:Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that are critical for the defense against invading pathogens. IL-1? is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine that also plays pivotal roles in shaping the adaptive immune response. TLRs and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) share similar cytosolic domains and signaling processes. In this study, we identify the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF152 as a positive regulator of TLR/IL-1R-mediated signaling. Overexpression of RNF152 potentiates IL-1?- and LPS-induced NF-?B activation in an ubiquitination-independent manner, whereas knockdown of RNF152 has the opposite effects. RNF152-deficient mice produce less inflammatory cytokines in response to LPS and are more resistant to LPS-induced lethal endotoxemia. Mechanistically, RNF152 interacts with the adaptor protein MyD88 and enhances oligomerization of MyD88, which is essential for the recruitment of downstream signaling components and activation of TLR/IL-1R-mediated signal transduction. Our findings suggest that RNF152-mediated oligomerization of MyD88 is important for TLR/IL-1R-mediated inflammatory response.

Vaccine-elicited IL-1R signaling results in Th17 TRM-mediated immunity.

Project description:Lung tissue resident memory (TRM) cells are thought to play crucial roles in lung host defense. We have recently shown that immunization with the adjuvant LTA1 (derived from the A1 domain of E. coli heat labile toxin) admixed with OmpX from K. pneumoniae can elicit antigen specific lung Th17 TRM cells that provide serotype independent immunity to members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. However, the upstream requirements to generate these cells are unclear. Single-cell RNA-seq showed that vaccine-elicited Th17 TRM cells expressed high levels of IL-1R1, suggesting that IL-1 family members may be critical to generate these cells. Using a combination of genetic and antibody neutralization approaches, we show that Th17 TRM cells can be generated independent of caspase-1 but are compromised when IL-1α is neutralized. Moreover IL-1α could serve as a molecular adjuvant to generate lung Th17 TRM cells independent of LTA1. Taken together, these data suggest that IL-1α plays a major role in vaccine-mediated lung Th17 TRM generation.

Targeting HER (ERBB) signaling in head and neck cancer: An essential update.

Project description:HNC (head and neck cancer) remains the 6th most common carcinoma worldwide. The suboptimal survival and toxicities observed with conventional approaches warrant exploration of novel therapeutic strategies such as targeted therapies. Although targeting EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) with cetuximab demonstrated clinical promise, HER (human epidermal growth factor receptor) or ERBB (erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog) targeted therapy in HNC has overall been suboptimal to date in clinical settings. Overcoming the resistance as well as identifying new strategies therefore remains a significant challenge. In this review, we will discuss the emerging roles of HER members besides EGFR. A comprehensive "three-dimensional" view of HER signaling pathway from the importance of EGFR nuclear translocation to our maturing concept of receptors' "spatial regulation", as well as the interdependence and interaction among different HER members will also be addressed to complete an essential update of HER signaling in HNC.

Targeted therapy for head and neck cancer: signaling pathways and clinical studies.

Project description:Head and neck cancer (HNC) is malignant, genetically complex and difficult to treat and is the sixth most frequent cancer, with tobacco, alcohol and human papillomavirus being major risk factors. Based on epigenetic data, HNC is remarkably heterogeneous, and treatment remains challenging. There is a lack of significant improvement in survival and quality of life in patients with HNC. Over half of HNC patients experience locoregional recurrence or distal metastasis despite the current multiple traditional therapeutic strategies and immunotherapy. In addition, resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and some targeted therapies is common. Therefore, it is urgent to explore more effective and tolerable targeted therapies to improve the clinical outcomes of HNC patients. Recent targeted therapy studies have focused on identifying promising biomarkers and developing more effective targeted therapies. A well understanding of the pathogenesis of HNC contributes to learning more about its inner association, which provides novel insight into the development of small molecule inhibitors. In this review, we summarized the vital signaling pathways and discussed the current potential therapeutic targets against critical molecules in HNC, as well as presenting preclinical animal models and ongoing or completed clinical studies about targeted therapy, which may contribute to a more favorable prognosis of HNC. Targeted therapy in combination with other therapies and its limitations were also discussed.

Macrophage secretory IL-1β promotes docetaxel resistance in head and neck squamous carcinoma via SOD2/CAT-ICAM1 signaling.

Project description:Docetaxel (DTX) combined with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil has been used as induction chemotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the development of acquired resistance remains a major obstacle to treatment response. Tumor-associated macrophages are associated with chemotherapeutic resistance. In the present study, increased infiltration of macrophages into the tumor microenvironment (TME) was significantly associated with shorter overall survival and increased resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, particularly DTX, in patients with HNSCC. Macrophage coculture induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), which promotes stemness and the formation of polyploid giant cancer cells, thereby reducing the efficacy of DTX. Both genetic silencing and pharmacological inhibition of ICAM1 sensitized HNSCC to DTX. Macrophage secretion of IL-1β was found to induce tumor expression of ICAM1. IL-1β neutralization and IL-1 receptor blockade reversed DTX resistance induced by macrophage coculture. IL-1β activated superoxide dismutase 2 and inhibited catalase, thereby modulating intracellular levels of ROS and inducing ICAM1 expression. Arsenic trioxide (ATO) reduced macrophage infiltration into the TME and impaired IL-1β secretion by macrophages. The combinatorial use of ATO enhanced the in vivo efficacy of DTX in a mouse model, which may provide a revolutionary approach to overcoming acquired therapeutic resistance in HNSCC.
