Tumor Immune Microenvironment Involvement in Colorectal Cancer Chemoresistance Mechanisms

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and its progression-free survival is still low, around 10 months. Thirthy to 50% of patients do not respond to chemotherapy upon initiation of treatment, suggesting that early development of chemoresistance mechanisms remains a major challenge. In order to better characterize these mechanisms, we aim to develop a model of tumoroids derived from patients with a colorectal tumors prior to any systemic anti cancer treatment. This project will both allow us to study the role of the immunological microenvironment in chemoresistance and identify new predictive markers of tumor response. It will then serve to develop innovative personalized medicine strategies by targeting the newly identified mechanisms. This study should in fine help to improve the cancer patient’s care.

Drosha/Dicer/miR-7/TGF-β2 axis Sustained Acidic Microenvironment-induced Lung Metastasis

Project description:Extracellular pH (pHe) is lower in many tumors than in the corresponding normal tissue. Acidic tumor microenvironment has been shown to facilitate epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor metastasis, while the mechanisms underlying tumor acidic microenvironment-induced tumor cell metastasis remain undefined. Here, we aimed to investigate the tumor metastasis and the EMT by acidic microenvironment and to explore their mechanisms and clinical significance in lung cancer. Results showed that acidic pHe remarkably enhanced invasion ability of lung cells accompanying with increased mesenchymal and decreased epithelial markers. Moreover, acidic pHe triggered the inhibition of microRNA-7 (miR-7) expression and activation of TGF-β2/SMAD signaling. Mechanistic studies showed that TGF-β2 is a direct potential target gene of miR-7, and acidity-induced metastasis could be abolished by treatment with a TGFβRI inhibitor, anti-TGF-β2 antibody and miR-7 mimic, respectively. The clinical samples further revealed that miR-7 was decreased in lung tissues and antagonistically correlated with TGF-β2 expression, associating with overall survival and metastasis. In conclusion, our study indicated that acidic pHe showed enhanced invasive potential, and enhanced potential to develop experimental metastases by a novel mechanism involving tumor acidic microenvironment-induced regulation of miR-7/TGF-β2/SMAD axis. Our findings suggest that the possibility that pHe of the primary tumor may be an important prognostic parameter for lung cancer patients merit clinical investigation. Moreover, miR-7 may serve as prognostic molecular marker and a novel therapeutic target for lung cancer.

Ganguli2018-immuno regulatory mechanisms in tumor microenvironment

Project description:This model describes the concept of Cancer Stem Cells(CSC) differentiation and tumor-immune interaction into a generic model that has been validated with known experimental data. Created by COPASI 4.24(Build197) Abstract: The tumor microenvironment comprising of the immune cells and cytokines acts as the 'soil' that nourishes a developing tumor. Lack of a comprehensive study of the interactions of this tumor microenvironment with the heterogeneous sub-population of tumor cells that arise from the differentiation of Cancer Stem Cells (CSC), i.e. the 'seed', has limited our understanding of the development of drug resistance and treatment failures in Cancer. Based on this seed and soil hypothesis, for the very first time, we have captured the concept of CSC differentiation and tumor-immune interaction into a generic model that has been validated with known experimental data. Using this model we report that as the CSC differentiation shifts from symmetric to asymmetric pattern, resistant cancer cells start accumulating in the tumor that makes it refractory to therapeutic interventions. Model analyses unveiled the presence of feedback loops that establish the dual role of M2 macrophages in regulating tumor proliferation. The study further revealed oscillations in the tumor sub-populations in the presence of TH1 derived IFN-γ that eliminates CSC; and the role of IL10 feedback in the regulation of TH1/TH2 ratio. These analyses expose important observations that are indicative of Cancer prognosis. Further, the model has been used for testing known treatment protocols to explore the reasons of failure of conventional treatment strategies and propose an improvised protocol that shows promising results in suppressing the proliferation of all the cellular sub-populations of the tumor and restoring a healthy TH1/TH2 ratio that assures better Cancer remission.

Hypoxic microenvironment activates GLI2 through synergistic action of TGF-β2 and HIF-1α to confer chemoresistance and poor clinical outcome in colorectal cancer [IlluminaExpr_2_CAF_SF_SD208]

Project description:Microenvironment has been suggested as an important factor contributing to how the colorectal cancer cells escape therapy, but the exact mechanism leading to chemoresistance remains elusive. Here, through modeling in vitro by cocultivation of patient-derived cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) with cancer stem cells (CSCs), we show that CAFs-secreted TGF-β2 is a key stromal factor that coordinates with hypoxia to promote CSC stemness and resistance to chemotherapy. GLI2, a key transcription factor of Hedgehog pathway, was identified as both necessary and sufficient in this process in which TGF-β and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) synergize to directly induce GLI2 expression. Conversely, CSC-secreted TGF-β is also important to support the growth of CAFs but instead induce death of normal fibroblasts, suggesting a reciprocal mechanism to selectively support the CAF-CSC interaction. Small molecule inhibition of both TGF-β and GLI2 effectively reversed the chemoresistance. Finally, expression of TGFB2/HIF1A/GLI2 gene signature as a functional readout of this resistance pathway defines worse clinical outcomes and predicts patients relapse. Our observations uncover a key role of TGF-β/HIF-1α/GLI2 in microenvironment-mediated chemoresistance and reveal novel biomarker and targeting strategies to identify and treat the high risk CRC patients.

The non-apoptotic function of Caspase-8 in negatively regulating the CDK9 mediated Ser2 phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II in cervical cancer

Project description:Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently diagnosed and fatal gynecological cancer. 15-61% of all cases metastasize and develop chemoresistance, reducing the 5-year survival of cervical cancer patients to as low as 17%. Therefore, unraveling the mechanisms contributing to metastasis is critical in developing better-targeted therapies against it. Here, we have identified a novel mechanism where nuclear Caspase-8 directly interacts with and inhibits the activity of CDK9, thereby modulating RNAPII-mediated global transcription, including those of cell-migration and -invasion-associated genes. Crucially, low Caspase-8 expression in cervical cancer patients leads to poor prognosis, higher CDK9 phosphorylation at Thr186, and increased RNAPII activity in cervical cancer cell lines and patient biopsies. Caspase-NT8 knock-out cells were also more resistant to the small-molecule CDK9 inhibitor BAY1251152 in both 2D- and 3D-culture conditions. Combining BAY1251152 with Cisplatin synergistically overcame chemoresistance of Caspase-8 deficient cervical cancer cells. Therefore, Caspase-8 expression could be a marker in chemoresistant cervical tumors, suggesting CDK9 inhibitor treatment for their sensitization to Cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Dataset for analyzing lysosomal proteome using MiSE method

Project description:Herein, we develop a novel lysosome-localizable reactive diazirine molecule MDA and demonstrate its enhanced labeling capability in lysosomal microenvironment. Further, we develop a novel microenvironment-specific enrichment (MiSE) strategy for profiling lysosomal proteome, containing MDA-based labeling and affinity enrichment. We demonstrate the effectiveness of MiSE in profiling the lysosomal proteome of living SH-SY5Y cells, identifying 1651 lysosomal proteome, including 126 lysosome-annotated proteins. Furthermore, we utilize MiSE coupled with data-independent acquisition (DIA) analysis to investigate the dynamic changes in the lysosomal proteome in SH-SY5Y cells upon ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) inhibition using four proteasome inhibitors. Our results reveal 117 UPS-inhibition related lysosomal proteins, highlighting their involvement in stress response and cell cycle regulation. Notably, we observe distinct proteomic signatures for each inhibitor, suggesting the unique mechanisms of lysosomal response to UPS inhibition.

Gene-expression profiles of ovarian cancer regarding its microenvironment

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-? regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. In clinical samples, the number of stromal CTLs in peritoneally disseminated tumors was correlated with PD-L1 expression on the tumor cells, and the lymphocyte number was significantly related to the IFN-? signature score. In mouse models, PD-L1 was induced in peritoneal disseminated tumors, where lymphocytes were prominent, but not in subcutaneous tumors. Depleting IFNGR1 resulted in lower PD-L1 expression and longer survival in peritoneal dissemination model. Injection of IFN-? into subcutaneous tumors increased PD-L1 expression and tumor size, and PD-L1 depletion abrogated tumor growth. These data suggest that IFN-? works as a tumor progressor through PD-L1 induction. The source of IFN-? in ovarian cancer microenvironment and its biological effect to the tumor cells is unclear. The immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell line, HOSE-E7/hTERT (HOSE) was treated with IFN-? and expression microarray analysis was performed, and probes showing significantly higher values in IFN-?-added group were termed “IFN-? signature genes (295 probes)”. We then applied this signature to our ovarian cancer microarray data, which included 75 ovarian cancer clinical samples, by means of ss-GSEA. IFN-? signature score was strongly correlated to the number of infiltrating CD4-positive or CD8-positive lymphocytes in the tumors. These data suggest that the IFN-? in the ovarian cancer microenvironment is derived from lymphocytes, and an IFN-?-rich microenvironment is strongly correlated to a lymphocyte-rich microenvironment. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in human ovarian cancer tissue were observed in different tumor immunological microenvironment.

Ablation of Cdh1 and Trp53 in the uterus reveals novel mechanisms controlling tumor microenvironment in endometrial cancer.

Project description:Because TP53 mutation and CDH1 inactivation are the most common abnormalities found in human type II endometrial carcinomas, the contribution of dysfunctional TRP53 and CDH1 in the tumor microenvironment to induce type II endometrial cancer was characterized using mouse as a model. The results of our analysis revealed that conditional deletion of Cdh1 and Trp53 in the uterus regulated most of the genes categorized by their involvement in inflammatory responses, immune cell trafficking, cellular movement, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction and cellular growth and proliferation. A direct comparison of mouse uteri (n=3) from control, single ablation of Cdh1 or Trp53, and ablation of both Cdh1 and Trp53 at 2 months of age.

Pancreatic tumor microenvironment confers highly malignant properties on pancreatic cancer cells

Project description:Tumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in cancer progression; however, little is known regarding how differences in the microenvironment affect characteristics of cancer cells. Here, we investigated the effects of tumor microenvironment on cancer cells by using mouse tumor models. After 3 cycles of inoculation and extraction of human pancreatic cancer cells, including SUIT-2 and Panc-1 cells, from tumors, distinct cancer cell lines were established; 3P cells from the pancreas obtained using the orthotopic tumor model, and 3sc cells from subcutaneous tissue obtained using the subcutaneous tumor model. On cell re-inoculation of these cells, the 3sc cells and, more prominently, the 3P cells, exhibited higher tumorigenic activity than the parental cells. The 3P cells specifically exhibited low E-cadherin expression and high invasiveness, suggesting that they were endowed with the highest malignant characteristics. RNA-sequence analysis demonstrated that distinct signaling pathways were activated in each cell line and that the 3P cells acquired a cancer stem cell-like phenotype. Among cancer stem cell-related genes, those specifically expressed in the 3P cells, including NES, may be potential new targets for cancer therapy. The mechanisms underlying the development of highly malignant cancer cell lines were investigated. Individual clones within the parental cells varied in tumor-forming ability, indicating the presence of cellular heterogeneity. Moreover, the gene expression profile of each clone changed after orthotopic inoculation. The present study thus suggests that both selection and education processes are involved in the development of highly malignant cancer cells.
