Bulk RNA-Sequencing of Murine Normal and Tumor-Associated Omental and Mesenteric Macrophages

ABSTRACT: The omentum is the most common site of ovarian cancer metastasis. Immune cell clusters called milky spots are found throughout the omentum. It is however unknown if these immune cells contribute to ovarian cancer metastasis. Here we report that omental macrophages promote the migration and colonization of ovarian cancer cells to the omentum through the secretion of chemokine ligands that interact with chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1). We found that depletion of macrophages reduces ovarian cancer colonization of the omentum. RNA-sequencing of macrophages isolated from mouse omentum and mesenteric adipose tissue revealed a specific enrichment of CCL6 chemokine ligand in omental macrophages. CCL6 and the human homolog CCL23 were both necessary and sufficient to promote ovarian cancer migration by activating ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways. Importantly, inhibition of CCR1 reduced ovarian cancer colonization. These findings demonstrate a critical mechanism of omental macrophage induced colonization by ovarian cancer cells via CCR1 signaling.

Omental preadipocytes stimulate matrix remodeling and IGF signaling to support ovarian cancer metastasis

Project description:Ovarian cancer can metastasize to the omentum, which is associated with a complex tumor microenvironment. Omental stromal cells facilitate ovarian cancer colonization by secreting cytokines and growth factors. Improved understanding of the tumor supportive functions of specific cell populations in the omentum could identify strategies to prevent and treat ovarian cancer metastasis. Here, we showed that omental preadipocytes enhance the tumor initiation capacity of ovarian cancer cells. Secreted factors from preadipocytes supported cancer cell viability during nutrient and isolation stress and enabled prolonged proliferation. Co-culturing with pre-adipocytes led to upregulation of genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) organization, cellular response to stress, and regulation of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling in ovarian cancer cells. IGF-1 induced ECM genes and increased alternative NF-κB signaling by activating RelB. Inhibiting the IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R) initially increased tumor omental adhesion but decreased growth of established preadipocyte-induced subcutaneous tumors as well as established intraperitoneal tumors. Together, this study shows that omental preadipocytes support ovarian cancer progression, which has implications for targeting metastasis.

Hematogenous metastasis of ovarian cancer: Re-thinking mode of spread

Project description:Ovarian cancer has a clear predilection for metastasis to the omentum, but the underlying mechanisms involved in ovarian cancer spread are not well understood. Here, we used a parabiosis model that demonstrates preferential hematogenous metastasis of ovarian cancer to the omentum. Our studies revealed that the ErbB3-neuregulin1 (NRG1) axis is a dominant pathway responsible for hematogenous omental metastasis. Elevated levels of ErbB3 in ovarian cancer cells and NRG1 in the omentum allowed for tumor cell localization and growth in the omentum. Depletion of ErbB3 in ovarian cancer substantially impaired omental metastasis. Our results highlight hematogenous metastasis as a previously under-recognized mode of ovarian cancer metastasis. These findings have implications for designing new strategies aimed at preventing and treating ovarian cancer metastasis.

Identification of gene signature in microdissected omental adipose tissue from high grade serous ovarian cancer patients

Project description:Advanced ovarian cancer usually spreads to the omentum. However, the omental cell-derived molecular determinants modulating its progression have not been thoroughly characterized. Transcriptome profiling was performed on microdissected omental adipose tissue obtained from patients with benign gynecologic diseases and on cancer-associated omental tissue obtained from patients with advanced-stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer.

NanoString expression profiling in metastatic ovarian cancer

Project description:Purpose: Most molecular characterizations of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) have been done in primary ovarian tumors. Such data may not be fully representative of HGSOC, which is characterized by widespread peritoneal metastases at the time of diagnosis and upon relapse. The most common site of HGSOC metastasis is the omentum. The omentum is characterized by strong immune and fibrotic activities and is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have the capacity to differentiate into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and promote ovarian cancer progression. The omentum is also rich in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), which are transient aggregates of leukocytes structurally and functionally comparable to secondary lymphoid tissues. Experimental design: With the goal of elucidating expression patterns in a large number of omental metastases, we profiled expression of immune- and cancer progression-related genes in pretreatment omental metastasis samples from 152 patients diagnosed with HGSOC.

Omentum-derived matrix enables the study of metastatic ovarian cancer and stromal cell functions in a physiologically relevant environment

Project description:High-grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological disease in the world and metastases is a major cause. The omentum is the preferential metastatic site in HGS ovarian cancer patients and in vitro models that recapitulate the original environment of this organ at cellular and molecular level are being developed to study basic mechanisms that underpin this disease. The tumour extracellular matrix (ECM) plays active roles in HGS ovarian cancer pathology and response to therapy. However, most of the current in vitro models use matrices of animal origin and that do not recapitulate the complexity of the tumour ECM in patients. Here, we have developed omentum gel (OmGel), a matrix made from tumour-associated omental tissue of HGS ovarian cancer patients that has unprecedented similarity to the ECM of HGS omental tumours and is simple to prepare. When used in 2D and 3D in vitro assays to assess cancer cell functions relevant to metastatic ovarian cancer, OmGel performs as well as or better than the widely use Matrigel and does not induce additional phenotypic changes to ovarian cancer cells. Surprisingly, OmGel promotes pronounced morphological changes in cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). These changes were associated with the upregulation of proteins that define subsets of CAFs in tumour patient samples, highlighting the importance of using clinically and physiologically relevant matrices for in vitro studies. Hence, OmGel provides a step forward to study the biology of HGS omental metastasis. Metastasis in the omentum are also typical of other cancer types, particularly gastric cancer, implying the relevance of OmGel to study the biology of other highly lethal cancers.

Omentum gel enables the study of metastatic ovarian cancer and stromal cell functions in a physiologically relevant environment

Project description:High-grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer is the most common and aggressive ovarian cancer type, and the most lethal gynaecological disease 1,2. The major cause is its highly metastatic nature and the limited availability of effective therapies to oppose it. The omentum is a highly vascularised visceral depot of adipose tissue with immune functions, which becomes the preferential metastatic site in patients with HGS ovarian cancer 1,2. The omentum provides an environment that supports the rapid growth of metastatic tumours and their spread within the peritoneal cavity and adjacent organs 2,3. Research aimed at understanding the biology of metastatic tumours in the omentum is therefore essential to find strategies to oppose HGS ovarian cancer. To this aim, there is the need for in vitro models that faithfully recapitulate the microenvironment of HGS omental metastasis in patients.

Analysis of ECM-enriched samples using different methods

Project description:Using LC-MS/MS, we analyzed ECM-enriched samples obtained from 1) human triple-negative breast cancer samples and matched adjacent normal mammary gland tissues, and 2) disease-free omentum from patient with non-metastatic ovarian cancer and high-grade- serous-ovarian- cancer-derived omental metastasis samples. We conducted the LC-MS/MS analysis on peptides obtained after solubilizing ECM-enriched samples using different methods (crude ECM extract, urea-soluble extract, urea-insoluble extract) and submitted to basic-reversed- phase separation or not.

Exosomal Transfer of Stromal Cell-Derived miR21 Confers Taxol Resistance in High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Cells Through Down-Regulation of APAF1.

Project description:Advanced ovarian cancer usually spreads to the visceral adipose tissue of the omentum. However, the stromal cell-derived molecular determinants that modulate ovarian cancer growth have not been characterized. Here, we identified significantly higher levels of miR21 in exosomes and tissue lysate isolated from cancer associated adipocytes (CAA) and fibroblasts (CAF) compared to those from ovarian cancer cells. Functional studies and transcriptome analysis on miR21 transfected SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells revealed that miR21 could be transferred from CAA or CAF to ovarian cancer cells and modulate ovarian cancer apoptosis and chemoresistance through binding to its direct target APAF1. These data suggest that malignant phenotype of metastatic ovarian cancer cells can be modulated by miR21 delivered by exosomes derived from neighboring stromal cells in the omental tumor microenvironment.
