JAGGED1 Promotes Tumor Progression through Recruitment of Macrophages and Functional Suppression of Tumor-killing T cells [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in women. NOTCH signaling is a well conserved pathway which not only plays critical roles in normal development, but also in cancer progression. One of the Notch ligand, JAGGED1 is overexpressed in about 30% of breast cancer patients. However, the role of JAGGED1 in breast tumorigenesis has not been rigorously examined. By utilizing genetic engineered mouse models of mammary specific Jagged1 expression or knockout, we discover that Jagged1 promotes tumorigenesis in multiple spontaneous mammary tumor models. Jagged1 expression leads to increased infiltration of tumor associated macrophages and decreased presentation of T cells within tumor microenvironment. Depletion of macrophages or T cells by neutralizing antibodies diminishes the tumor-promoting effect caused by Jagged1. Mechanistically, Jagged1 activates Notch signaling in tumor cells, leads to increased expression and secretion of multiple cytokines, including IL-6 and WISP. These cytokines help recruit macrophages into the tumor microenvironment. Macrophages crosstalk with infiltrated T cells and inhibit their cytotoxic killing on tumor cells. In triple negative breast cancer patient samples, high expression level of JAGGED1 correlates with increased macrophage infiltration and decreased T cell infiltration within tumor tissues. JAGGED1 also promotes tumor progression in several other solid cancer types, including melanoma, and colon cancer in a T cell dependent manner. Co-administration of immune checkpoint inhibitor, PD-1 antibody with gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) significantly inhibits tumor growth. These findings identify a unique oncogenic crosstalk between tumor derived JAGGED1, Macrophages, and T cells to promote tumor progression.

Project description:Notch signaling is frequently hyperactivated in breast cancer, but how the enhanced signaling contributes to the tumor process is less well understood. In this report, we identify the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a novel Notch target in breast tumor cells. Enhanced Notch signaling upregulated IL-6 expression at the transcriptional level, leading to activation of autocrine and paracrine JAK/STAT signaling. IL-6 upregulation was mediated by non-canonical Notch signaling, as it could be effectuated by a cytoplasmically localized Notch intracellular domain and was independent on the DNA-binding protein CSL. Instead, Notch-mediated IL-6 upregulation was controlled by two other factors: IKKÎ², a protein in the NF-kB signaling cascade, and p53. Activation of IL-6 by Notch required IKKÎ² function, but interestingly, did not engage canonical NF-ÎºB signaling, in contrast to IL-6 activation by inflammatory agents such as tumor necrosis factor, which requires canonical NF-ÎºB signaling. With regard to p53 status, IL-6 expression was upregulated by Notch when p53 was mutated or lost, but restoring wildtype 53 into p53-mutated or -deficient cells abrogated the IL-6 upregulation. Furthermore, Notch-induced genome-wide transcriptomes from p53 wildtype and -mutated breast tumor cell lines differed extensively, and in a subset of genes upregulated by Notch in a p53-mutant cell line, upregulation was reduced by wildtype p53. In conclusion, we identify IL-6 as a novel non-canonical Notch target gene, and reveal roles for p53 and IKKÎ² in non-canonical Notch signaling in breast cancer and in the generation of cell context-dependent diversity in the Notch signaling output. 30 microarray samples consisting of MCF7 (ER+, wild-type p53, luminal type B breast cancer) and MDA-MB-231 (ER-, mutated p53, basal breast cancer) cells cultured on immobilized 1 Î¼g/ml JAGGED1-Fc or 1 Î¼g/ml DLL4-Fc or 1 Î¼g/ml Fc control with or without 5 Î¼M DAPT for 6 hours in 3 biological replicates.
