Project description:Disruption of systemic homeostasis by either chronic or acute stressors, such as obesity1 or surgery2, alters cancer pathogenesis. Patients with cancer, particularly those with breast cancer, can be at increased risk of cardiovascular disease due to treatment toxicity and changes in lifestyle behaviors3-5. While elevated risk and incidence of cardiovascular events in breast cancer is well established, whether such events impact cancer pathogenesis is not known. Here we show that myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates breast cancer outgrowth and cancer-specific mortality in mice and humans. In mouse models of breast cancer, MI epigenetically reprogrammed Ly6Chi monocytes in the bone marrow reservoir to an immunosuppressive phenotype that was maintained at the transcriptional level in monocytes in both the circulation and tumor. In parallel, MI increased circulating Ly6Chi monocyte levels and recruitment to tumors and depletion of these cells abrogated MI-induced tumor growth. Furthermore, patients with early-stage breast cancer who experienced cardiovascular events after cancer diagnosis had increased risk of recurrence and cancer-specific death. These preclinical and clinical results demonstrate that MI induces alterations in systemic homeostasis, triggering cross-disease communication that accelerates breast cancer.

Project description:Disruptions of systemic homeostasis have emerged as critical regulators of cancer. Recent studies indicate that chronic or acute host stressors (e.g., obesity1, surgery2) alter cancer pathogenesis. Many cancer patients, particularly those with breast cancer, are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease due to treatment toxicity and resulting changes in lifestyle behaviors3-5. While elevated risk and incidence of cardiovascular events in breast cancer is well-established, whether such events impact cancer pathogenesis is not known. Herein, we show that an incident myocardial infarction (MI or heart attack) accelerates breast cancer outgrowth and cancer-specific mortality in mice and humans. In mouse models of breast cancer, MI epigenetically reprogrammed Ly6Chigh monocytes in the bone marrow reservoir to an immunosuppressive phenotype that was maintained at the transcriptional level in monocytes in the circulation and tumor. In parallel, MI increased circulating Ly6Chigh monocyte levels and recruitment to tumors, and depletion of these cells abrogated MI-induced tumor growth. Furthermore, evaluation of the relationship between a new onset post-diagnosis cardiovascular event and cancer outcomes in early-stage breast cancer patients revealed increased risk of recurrence and cancer-specific death, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings.

Project description:Breast cancer patients have increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI), but whether these events impact cancer pathogenesis is not known. In mouse models of breast cancer, MI increased circulating Ly6Chigh monocytes and their recruitment to tumors, accelerating cancer progression and metastasis. Analysis of the bone marrow reservoir revealed that MI epigenetically reprogrammed Ly6Chigh monocytes to an immunosuppressive phenotype that was maintained in monocytes in the circulation and tumor at the transcriptional level. Depletion of Ly6Chigh monocytes abrogated MI-induced cancer progression and increased activated cytotoxic T cells in the tumor. In early-stage breast cancer patients, post-diagnosis incident cardiovascular events, such as MI, increased the risk of recurrence and cancer-specific mortality, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings. Collectively, our results indicate that MI induces cross-disease communication that accelerates breast cancer progression.

Project description:During progression of atherosclerosis, myeloid cells destabilize lipid-rich plaques in the arterial wall and cause their rupture, thus triggering myocardial infarction and stroke. Survivors of acute coronary syndromes have a high risk of recurrent events for unknown reasons. Here we show that the systemic response to ischaemic injury aggravates chronic atherosclerosis. After myocardial infarction or stroke, Apoe-/- mice developed larger atherosclerotic lesions with a more advanced morphology. This disease acceleration persisted over many weeks and was associated with markedly increased monocyte recruitment. Seeking the source of surplus monocytes in plaques, we found that myocardial infarction liberated haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from bone marrow niches via sympathetic nervous system signalling. The progenitors then seeded the spleen, yielding a sustained boost in monocyte production. These observations provide new mechanistic insight into atherogenesis and provide a novel therapeutic opportunity to mitigate disease progression.

Project description:BackgroundImmune escape is one of the causes of poor prognosis in breast cancer (BC). Glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) is the first speed-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) and is essential for the progression of BC. Nevertheless, the mechanism of the influence of GFPT1 in BC immune escape is not clear.MethodsFirst, the level of GFPT1 in BC was analyzed by starbase, and GFPT1 expression in BC tissues was measured by qRT-PCR, western blot and IHC. Then, the O-GlcNAc levels were detected by western blot. Thereafter, Co-IP was applied to examine the relationship between GFPT1 and PD-L1. At last, a mouse model was constructed for validation in vivo.ResultsFirstly, we discovered that GFPT1 was obviously strengthened in BC. Knockdown or introduction of GFPT1 correspondingly degraded and elevated O-GlcNAc levels in cells. Further researches revealed that there was a reciprocal relationship between GFPT1 and PD-L1. Mechanistically, we disclosed that GFPT1 enhanced PD-L1 protein stability through O-glycosylation. More interestingly, GFPT1 accelerated BC cell immune escape via upregulation of O-glycosylation-modified PD-L1. In vivo, silencing of GFPT1 attenuated immune escape of BC cells by reducing PD-L1 levels.ConclusionGFPT1 promoted BC progression and immune escape via O-glycosylation-modified PD-L1. GFPT1 may be a potential target for BC therapy.
