Project description:Immunotherapy is life saving for some cancer patients and while obesity can promote cancer, it may also increase immunotherapy efficacy. Mechanisms of this effect have been unclear, although obesity can promote an inflammatory state that may modify tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and tumor associated macrophage (TAM) populations in tumors. To identify mechanisms by which obesity affects anti-tumor immunity, diet-induced obese and lean C57BL/6 mice received subcutaneous murine MC38-CEA1 colon cancer tumors. Obesity increased tumor growth rate and tumor burden. Fewer immune cells were present in tumors from obese mice, and the T cells had an activated and exhausted phenotype. Macrophages in obese animals had decreased expression of iNOS2 and MHCII, supporting a weaker “M1” anti-tumor phenotype compared to lean mice. When treated with anti-PD-1 antibodies, however, obese mice had a greater absolute decrease in tumor burden than lean mice. PD-1 blockade repolarized the macrophages to an M1-phentoype in obese mice, but this did not occur in the lean mice. Mechanistically, leptin is a pro-inflammatory adipokine that is increased in obesity and may mediate enhanced anti-tumor immunity in obesity. To test the effect of leptin on tumor growth and anti-tumor immunity, lean mice were treated with leptin and tumors were observed over time. Leptin had single-agent preventative and therapeutic anti-tumor efficacy similar to PD-1 checkpoint therapy. These data demonstrate that obesity has dual effects in cancer through promotion of tumor cell initiation while also enhancing anti-tumor immunity through elevated levels of leptin that can reprogram inflammatory macrophages.

Project description:Here, we developed a mouse model of diet induced obesity that is graft competent. In this model, we grew an ER-positive breast cancer patient derived tumor. Following ovariectomy and estrogen deprivation therapy, tumors continued to grow in obese but not lean mice. RNAsequencing analysis was performed on tumors from estrogen-supplemented lean mice, and from lean and obese mice after estrogen deprivation. This analysis identified fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling as a potential driver of tumor progression in the context of obesity.

Project description:C-C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) plays pivotal roles in tumor formation, progression, and metastasis. Although CCL2 expression has been found to be dependent on the nuclear factor (NF)–κB signaling pathway, the regulation of CCL2 production in tumor cells has remained unclear. Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a protein kinase that is activated in various tumor cell types. We have now identified a noncanonical pathway for regulation of CCL2 production that is mediated by mTORC1 but independent of NF-κB. Multiple phosphoproteomics approaches identified the transcription factor forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) as a downstream target of mTORC1, with dephosphorylation of FOXK1 in response to mTORC1 activation resulting in transactivation of the CCL2 gene. Inhibition of the mTORC1-FOXK1 axis attenuated insulin-induced CCL2 production as well as the accumulation of tumor-associated monocytes-macrophages and tumor progression in mice. Our results suggest that FOXK1 directly links mTORC1 signaling and CCL2 expression in a manner independent of NF-κB, and that CCL2 produced by this pathway contributes to tumor progression. Specific inhibition of FOXK1 may thus be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer.

Project description:This is a quantitative proteomic study of the plasma of obese versus lean post-menopausal women collected over a two-year time span, to establish whether Lovaza (a collection of omega-3 fatty acids) would alter protein biomarkers involved in lipogenesis, inflammation, immunity and carcinogenesis in Obese versus Lean women.

Project description:Malignant melanoma is a highly metastatic disease disseminating to several distant sites. This potential is also of great clinical impact for patient survival and therapeutic success. Knowledge about melanoma genomics is mainly based on lymphatic or skin metastases derived data, whereas data from distant sites is rather limited. Therefore, an autopsy-based visceral metastasis biobank was established and an array-based CNV analysis was performed focusing primarily on major organs (brain, lung and liver) on a total of 38 samples (10 primary and 28 organ metastasse). A unique picture emerged about organ specific CNV type distributions or gene alterations including the frequent loss of DNA damage error genes in brain metastases, the presence of HGF/MET autocrine loop in brain and lung metastases, the traces of immunogenic mimicry exclusive for lung metastases or the correlation of BRAF copy number and mutant allele frequency especially in lung metastases. All these above phenomena have a great influence on therapy efficacy or resistance.

Project description:Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer, but understanding of the unique aspects of IBC biology lags far behind that of other breast cancers. One of the key barriers in advancing understanding of the molecular determinants of IBC has been the lack of adequate models for this disease that presents with distinct clinical and histopathological features. We describe here a novel human triple-negative IBC cell line, A3250, that recapitulates key features of human IBC in a mouse orthotopic model including skin erythema, diffuse tumor growth, high stroma to tumor ratio, dermal lymphatic invasion, and extensive lymph node and distant metastases. Tumor-associated macrophages were particularly enriched, and A3250 cells expressed very high levels of CCL2, a macrophage recruiting chemokine in the absence of detectable levels of its cognate receptor. CCL2 knockdown led to a striking reduction in macrophage densities, tumor cell proliferation, and metastasis in vivo. These results identify tumor-derived CCL2 as a key factor driving macrophage expansion and indirectly, the growth of A3250 IBC cells in vivo. Comparison of the A3250 chemokine expression profile with human IBC expression data sets revealed sharing of this profile across different IBC subtypes as well as enrichment for macrophage expression. Thus, this human IBC model provides a unique opportunity to uncover novel aspects of IBC biology, and to test novel therapies for this deadly disease.

Project description:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BMSCs) can be transformed into tumor-associated MSCs (TA-MSCs) within the tumor microenvironment to facilitate tumor progression. However, the underline mechanism and potential therapeutic strategy remain unclear. Here, we explored that interleukin 17 (IL-17) cooperating with IFNγ transforms BMSCs into TA-MSCs, which promotes tumor progression by recruiting macrophages/monocytes and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in murine melanoma. IL-17 and IFNγ transformed TA-MSCs have high expression levels of myelocyte-recruiting chemokines (CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, and CCL20) mediated by activated NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, retinoic acid inhibits NF-κB signaling, decreases chemokine expression, and suppresses the tumor-promoting function of transformed TA-MSCs by prohibiting the recruitment of macrophages/monocytes and MDSCs in the tumor microenvironment. Overall, our findings demonstrate that IL-17 collaborating with IFNγ to induce TA-MSC transformation, which can be targeted by RA for melanoma treatment.

Project description:Metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related mortality. In the lung metastasis, monocyte-derived macrophages (Mo-macs) exhibit a complex function. However, tumor cells how to derive lung metastasis through Mo-macs remains unclear. Here we show that a tumor-secreted protein osteoprotegerin (OPG) contributes to the lung metastasis of cancer depends on the Mo-macs by an in vivo screening. OPG binds with RANKL to block the signaling between RANKL-RANK on Mo-macs. RANKL-RANK signals induce Mo-macs to secrete CXCL10, recruiting NK cells to control the lung metastasis. Increased expression of OPG in the metastases is regulated by TGF-β. Consistent with our findings, enrichment of OPG amplifications was observed in metastatic cancer patients, and increased expression of OPG was also shown in the lung metastatic sites compared with the paired primary breast cancer samples. Overall, our findings reveal a mechanism of how tumor cells promote lung metastasis via inhibiting the function of Mo-macs.
