PyMT-1099, a murine derived cell line is a breast cancer specific model for EMT

ABSTRACT: Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been implicated in metastasis, drug resistance, survival under stress and also conferring stem cell-like traits to cancer cells. However, several of the studies have been carried out using model systems that don’t appropriately recapitulate all stages of the dynamic process of EMT. Hence, there is a need to overcome this limitation by development of a model system that allows us to mimic each stage of EMT and accurately assess the plastic changes associated with it. Methods: We have derived a cancer cell line from the PyMT-MMTV model of breast cancer, named PyMT-1099 cells, and undertaken a detailed characterization of the morpho-genetic changes it undergoes during a TGF-induced EMT. Further, we have also performed high throughput transcriptomics on PyMT-1099 cells undergoing EMT in a high resolution kinetic of TGF treatment. Results: We show that PyMT-1099 cells undergo an EMT comparable to the classically used immortalized NMuMG cells as assessed by morphological, and marker expression changes on TGFtreatment. Further, PyMT-1099 cells can also migrate in vitro in response to TGF treatment. These cells are also tumorigenic and lead to metastasis formation when transplanted into immunocompromised mice. Conclusion: In this study we report the development of PyMT-1099 cells as an excellent tool to model and study breast cancer-associated EMT both in vitro and in vivo and show that these cells overcome the limitations posed by other cellular systems currently being used to study EMT

Single cell sequencing of Tri-PyMT cells

Project description:To study the contribution of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumor metastasis, we established an EMT lineage tracing model in a multiple-transgenic mouse (MMTV-PyMT/Fsp1-Cre/Rosa26mT/mG, Tri-PyMT). In this model, breast tumor cells that underwent EMT would irreversibly switch their expression of the fluorescent marker from RFP+ to GFP+ due to the mesenchymal specific Cre expression. Surprisingly, we found that metastatic tumor cells did not convert from RFP+ to GFP+. Lung metastases were predominantly composed of RFP+ tumor cells persistently exhibiting epithelial phenotypes. These findings challenge the concept that EMT is required for metastasis, and have attracted vigorous discussion about its true contributions to metastasis. One of the major concerns with the EMT lineage tracing model is that expression of GFP only indicates the complete EMT transition. The partial-EMT programming, a novel concept describing tumor cells exhibiting both epithelial and mesenchymal features, could possibly fail to launch the Fsp1-Cre-mediated fluorescent marker switch. To address this concern, we evaluated the EMT status of Tri-PyMT cells on the single cell level by performing single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). We found that the expression of epithelial markers (i.e. Epcam and Krt18) and mesenchymal markers (i.e. Vim and S110a4) were largely confined to RFP+ and GFP+ subpopulations, respectively. Based on the differentially expressed EMT related genes, we observed an EMT spectrum in which the low EMT score end was enriched with RFP+ cells, whereas the high EMT score end was enriched with GFP+ cells. Indeed, the fluorescent marker switch in Tri-PyMT cells predicted their EMT status with high specificity and sensitivity. Tri-PyMT cells which were derived from the primary breast tumor of triple transgenic mouse (MMTV-PyMT:Fsp1-cre:Rosa26mT/mG) were sorted into RFP+ or GFP+ populations by FACS and subjected for Drop-seq analysis.

CdGAP is a Talin-binding protein and a target of TGF-β signaling that promotes HER2-positive breast cancer growth and metastasis

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in metastasis, which is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. We show that Cdc42 GTPase-activating protein (CdGAP) promotes tumor formation and metastasis to lungs in the HER2-positive (HER2+) murine breast cancer model. CdGAP facilitates intravasation, extravasation, and growth at metastatic sites. CdGAP depletion in HER2+ murine primary tumors mediates crosstalk with a Dlc1-RhoA pathway and is associated with a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced EMT transcriptional signature. To further delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying the pro-migratory role of CdGAP in breast cancer cells, we searched for CdGAP interactors by performing a proteomic analysis using HEK293 cells overexpressing GFP-CdGAP. We found that CdGAP interacts with the adaptor Talin to modulate focal adhesion dynamics and integrin activation. Moreover, HER2+ breast cancer patients with high CdGAP mRNA expression combined with a high TGF-β-EMT signature are more likely to present lymph node invasion. Our results suggest CdGAP as a candidate therapeutic target for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer by inhibiting TGF-β and Integrin/Talin signaling pathways.

Trajectories of partial and full EMT of mammary tumor cells in the MMTV-PyMT mouse model

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a multistep process of cell de-differentiation which confers carcinoma cells with a variety of malignant characteristics. Due to the transient and reversible nature of the process, cancer cells may transit between various stages of an EMT continuum, including epithelial, partial EMT or full EMT, and the actual status of cancer cells, the kinetics of cellular state transition in vivo and the consequences thereof have remained elusive. We have established tamoxifen inducible dual recombinase lineage tracing systems combined with live cell imaging and 5-cell RNA-sequencing analysis to track cancer cells undergoing a partial or a full EMT in the MMTV-PyMT mouse model of metastatic breast cancer. In primary tumours, cancer cells infrequently undergo an EMT, and most of these cells transition between epithelial and partial EMT states, but rarely undergo a full EMT. Consequently, cells that have ever undergone a partial EMT dynamically transit between various EMT states, and they contribute to lung metastasis and chemoresistance. In contrast, full EMT cells mostly retain a mesenchymal phenotype and stably reside in perivascular regions, but fail to colonize the lungs. However, full EMT cancer cells are enriched in recurrent tumors upon chemotherapy. Our findings suggest that cancer cells in various stages of the EMT continuum contribute differentially to hallmarks of breast cancer malignancy, such as cell migration, invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance.

Expression data from Control and Six1 expressing MCF7 cells

Project description:Inappropriate activation of developmental pathways is a well-recognized tumor-promoting mechanism. Here we show that overexpression of the homeoprotein Six1, normally a developmentally restricted transcriptional regulator, increases Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling in mammary carcinoma cells and induces an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) that is in part dependent on its ability to increase TGF-beta signaling. TGF-beta signaling and EMT have been implicated in metastatic dissemination of carcinoma. Using spontaneous and experimental metastasis mouse models, we demonstrate that Six1 overexpression promotes breast cancer metastasis. In addition, we show that, like its induction of EMT, Six1-induced experimental metastasis is dependent on its ability to activate TGF-beta signaling. Importantly, in human breast cancers Six1 significantly correlates with nuclear Smad3, and thus increased TGF-beta signaling. Further, breast cancer patients whose tumors overexpress Six1 have a shortened time to relapse and metastasis, and an overall decrease in survival. Finally, we show that the effects of Six1 on tumor progression likely extend beyond breast cancer, since its overexpression correlates with adverse outcomes in numerous other cancers, including brain, cervical, prostate, colon, kidney, and liver, amongst others. Our findings argue that Six1, acting through TGF-beta signaling and EMT, is a powerful and global promoter of cancer metastasis.

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.

NCI-H446 control (NC) and MTA1-overexpressing (OE) cells

Project description:MTA1, SOX4, EZH2 and TGF-β are all potent inducers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer; however, the signaling relationship among these molecules in EMT is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the function of MTA1 in cancer cells and demonstrated that MTA1 overexpression efficiently activates EMT. This activation resulted in a significant increase in the migratory and invasive properties of three different cancer cell lines through a common mechanism involving SOX4 activation, screened from a gene expression profiling analysis. We showed that both SOX4 and MTA1 are induced by TGF-β and both are indispensable for TGF-β-mediated EMT. Further investigation identified that MTA1 acts upstream of SOX4 in the TGF-β pathway, emphasizing a TGF-β-MTA1-SOX4 signaling axis in EMT induction. The histone methyltransferase EZH2, a component of the polycomb (PcG) repressive complex 2 (PRC2), was identified as a critical responsive gene of the TGF-β-MTA1-SOX4 signaling in three different epithelial cancer cell lines, suggesting that this signaling acts broadly in cancer cells in vitro. The MTA1-SOX4-EZH2 signaling cascade was further verified in TCGA pan-cancer patient samples and in a colon cancer cDNA microarray, and activation of genes in this signaling pathway predicted an unfavorable prognosis in colon cancer patients. Collectively, our data uncover a SOX4-dependent EMT-inducing mechanism underlying MTA1-driven cancer metastasis and suggest a widespread TGF-β-MTA1-SOX4-EZH2 signaling axis that drives EMT in various cancers. We propose that this signaling may be used as a common therapeutic target to control epithelial cancer metastasis. We used microarrays to detect MTA1-regulated genes in cancer cells.

RNA N6-methyladenosine reader YTHDC1 is essential for TGF-beta-mediated metastasis of triple negative breast cancer [m6A-Seq]

Project description:RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and its regulators fine tune gene expression and contribute to tumorigenesis. Here, we uncover the oncogenic role and mechanism of YTHDC1, an m6A reader positively correlated to poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. In a mammary fat pad mouse model, YTHDC1 significantly promoted lung metastasis of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Using transcriptome-wide sequencing techniques, we found dysregulation of metastasis-related pathways following YTHDC1 depletion and demonstrated that YTHDC1 is critical for nuclear export of SMAD3 mRNA. YTHDC1 depletion desensitizes TNBC cells to TGF-β, resulting in impaired TGF-β-induced gene signature and inhibition on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell migration/invasion, which could be at least partially restored by SMAD3 overexpression. Furthermore, we show that the ability of YTHDC1 to recognize m6A on SMAD3 RNA is important for its oncogenic role. Collectively, our study unravels YTHDC1 as vital for distant TNBC metastasis by promoting TGF-β-mediated EMT via SMAD3.
