MiR-200-regulated CXCL12β promotes fibroblast heterogeneity and immunosuppression in ovarian cancers

ABSTRACT: High-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer (HGSOC) has been recently subdivided into molecular subgroups, including the mesenchymal HGSOC associated with partial tumor-debulking surgery and poor patient survival. Consistent with stromal-related genes signatures defining mesenchymal HGSOC, we show here that stroma plays a key function in this HGSOC molecular subtype. We first highlight stromal heterogeneity in HGSOC by identifying 4 subsets of Carcinoma-Associated Fibroblast (CAF-S1-4). Mesenchymal HGSOC significantly accumulate the activated CAF-S1 subset, which exhibits immunosuppressive functions by promoting attraction, survival and activation of regulatory T-lymphocytes. The CXCL12β chemokine reliably characterizes mesenchymal HGSOC and specifically accumulates in the CAF-S1 subset through a regulation mediated by the miR-141/200a. CXCL12β promotes attraction of T-lymphocytes and is thus a key actor in CAF-S1-mediated immunosuppressive functions. In conclusion, we highlight here for the first time stromal heterogeneity and immunosuppression in mesenchymal HGSOC that could participate in the poor patient prognosis.

Targeting stromal cell sialylation reverses T cell mediated immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment

Project description:Immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments (TME) reduce the effectiveness of immune responses in cancer. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), precursors to cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), dictate tumor progression by enhancing immune cell suppression in colorectal cancer (CRC). Hyper-sialylation of glycans promotes immune evasion in cancer through binding of sialic acids to their receptors, Siglecs, expressed on immune cells that results in inhibition of effector functions. The role of sialylation in dictating MSC/CAF immunosuppression in the TME is unknown. In this study, we show that tumor-conditioned stromal cells have increased sialyltransferase expression, α2,3/6-linked sialic acid and Siglec ligands. Tumor-conditioned stromal cells and CAFs induce exhausted immunomodulatory PD-1, Siglec-7 and Siglec-9-expressing T cell phenotypes. In vivo, targeting stromal cell sialylation reverses stromal cell-mediated immunosuppression, as evidenced by infiltration of CD25 and granzyme B-expressing T cells in the tumor and draining lymph node. Targeting stromal cell sialylation may overcome immunosuppression in the CRC TME.

Fibroblast heterogeneity drives metastatic spread in breast cancer through distinct mechanisms

Project description:The major cause of death among breast cancer patients is metastatic dissemination, suggesting that understanding the mechanisms driving this process remains an unmet medical need. Here, by concomitantly using 5 markers, we identify 4 Carcinoma-Associated Fibroblasts (CAF) subsets in primary tumors and corresponding metastatic lymph nodes (LN). Two CAF subsets, called CAF-S1 and CAF-S4, correlate with the proportion of cancer cells in invaded LN and exert distinct functions in tumor cell spread. CAF-S1 promote cancer cell migration and initiates an epithelial to mesenchymal transition through a CXCL12 / TGFb positive loop. For their part, the highly contractile CAF-S4 foster cancer cell motility and invasion in 3-dimensional matrix via Notch pathway activation. Finally, CAF-S1 and CAF-S4 accumulation in LN is a new prognostic factor at diagnostic, independent of breast cancer subtypes and LN status, strengthening the validity of our findings in human breast cancer pathophysiology.

Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast clusters linked to immunotherapy resistance in cancer

Project description:A subset of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAF-S1) mediates immunosuppression in breast cancers (BC), but its heterogeneity and its impact on immunotherapy response remain unknown. Here, we identify 8 CAF-S1 clusters by analyzing more than 18000 single CAF-S1 fibroblasts from BC. We validate the 5 most abundant clusters by flow cytometry and in silico analyses in other cancer types, highlighting their relevance. Myofibroblasts from clusters 0 and 3, characterized by extra-cellular matrix proteins and TGF signaling respectively, are indicative of primary resistance to immunotherapies. Cluster 0 up-regulates PD-1 and CTLA-4 protein levels in regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs), which in turn increases CAF-S1 cluster 3 cellular content. Thus, our study highlights a positive feedback loop between specific CAF-S1 clusters and Tregs and uncovers their role in immunotherapy resistance.

Transfer learning associates CAFs with EMT and inflammation in tumor cells in human tumors and organoid co-culture in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment enriched with cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). This study provides a convergence approach to identify tumor cell and CAF interactions through the integration of single-cell data from human tumors with human organoid co-culture. Analysis of a comprehensive atlas of PDAC single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data associates CAF density with increased inflammation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in epithelial cells. Transfer learning to transcriptional data from patient-derived organoid and CAF co-cultures provides in silico validation of CAF induction of inflammatory and EMT epithelial cell states. Further experimental validation in co-cultures demonstrates integrin beta 1 (ITGB1) and vascular endothelial factor A (VEGF-A) interactions with Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) mediating CAF and epithelial crosstalk. This study introduces transfer learning from human single-cell data to organoid co-culture for experimental validation of discoveries of cell-cell crosstalk, and identifies fibroblast-mediated regulation of EMT and inflammation.

Proteogenomic Analysis of Enriched Tumor Epithelium Identifies Prognostic Signatures and an Increased Dependency of Homologous Recombination Proficient Cells on BMI1 in High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

Project description:Although several proteogenomic analyses of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) have been conducted, these analyses are often dominated by tissues with high levels of tumor cell nuclei (purity), despite low purity being associated with worse outcome. We performed deep proteogenomic profiling of bulk tumor (BT) and laser microdissection (LMD) enriched tumor (ET) and stromal (ST) cell populations from 70 HGSOC patient tumors spanning a broad spectrum of purity. We identified a cluster of patients with longer progression free survival associated with increased immune signatures and validated proteins correlating with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in 65 tumors collected from an independent cohort of 12 HGSOC patients, as well as with overall survival in an additional cohort of 126 HGSOC patients. We identified that homologous recombination deficient (HRD) tumors express transcriptomic and proteomic pathways associated with metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation that we validated in independent patient cohorts, including 69 HRD-positive HGSOC tumors. In summary, our proteogenomic analysis provides important new clinically relevant insights into HGSOC tumor cell populations, and have uncovered prognostic proteogenomic alterations correlating with TILs, low tumor purity, as well as expression alterations associated with HRD status and immune infiltration.
