Fibroblast heterogeneity and immunosuppressive environment in Human breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are key players in the tumor microenvironment. Here, by combining 6 well-known stromal markers, we identify four CAF subsets (CAF-S1 to CAF-S4) in human breast cancer (BC) that exhibit distinct activation patterns and accumulate differently in BC subtypes.

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.

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

Project description: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.

Gene Expression Analysis of Cancer-Associated Fibroblast (CAF) compared to Normal Fibroblast (NF) [RNA-seq]

Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed genes in CAF associated with PDAC vs NF. Genetically engineered mice with spontaneous pancreas cancer were generated. Their genotype is Ptfa-cre/+:LSL KrasG12D/+;Tgfrb2flox/flox. Cancer associated fibroblasts were expanded in vitro from the tumors of these mice (CAF). Normal fibroblasts (NF) were also expanded from normal pancreas of mice. The experiement consists in comparing the expression profile of CAF vs. NF. Expanded cultures of fibroblasts in vitro from pancreas tumor and normal pancreas tissue were lyzed in TRIzol and RNA extracted from them.

Functionally distinct cancer-associated fibroblast subpopulations establish a tumor-promoting environment in squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a serious public health problem due to its high incidence and metastatic potential. It may progress from actinic keratosis (AK), a precancerous lesion, or the in situ carcinoma Bowen's disease (BD). During this progression, malignant keratinocytes activate dermal fibroblasts into tumor-promoting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), whose origin and emergence remain largely unknown. Here, we generate and analyze >115,000 single-cell transcriptomes from healthy skin, BD and cSCC of male donors. Our results reveal immunoregulatory and matrix-remodeling CAF subtypes that might derive from pro-inflammatory and mesenchymal fibroblasts, respectively. These CAF subtypes are largely absent in AK and interact with different cell types to establish a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment. These findings are cSCC-specific and could not be recapitulated in basal cell carcinomas. Our study provides important insights into the functionalities of dermal CAFs that will be highly beneficial for the specific targeting of the cSCC microenvironment.
