Contextual cues from cancer cells govern CAF heterogeneity [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells function as primary architects of the tumor microenvironment. Yet, the molecular features of cancer cells that govern stromal cell phenotypes remain unclear. Here, we show that cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) heterogeneity is driven by lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells at either end of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) spectrum. LUAD cells that have high expression of the EMT-activating transcription factor ZEB1 reprogram CAFs through a ZEB1-dependent secretory program and direct CAFs to the tips of invasive projections through a ZEB1-driven CAF repulsion process. EMT, in turn, sensitizes LUAD cells to pro-metastatic signals from CAFs. Thus, CAFs respond to contextual cues from LUAD cells to promote metastasis.

Gene expression of Cancer-associated fibroblasts from orthotopically engrafted murine colon tumors on the single cell level (Sort-Seq)

Project description:The EMT-transcription factor ZEB1 is heterogeneously expressed in tumor cells and in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in colorectal cancer (CRC). While ZEB1 in tumor cells regulates metastasis and therapy resistance, its role in CAFs is largely unknown. Combining fibroblast-specific Zeb1 deletion with immunocompetent mouse models of CRC, we observe that inflammation-driven tumorigenesis is accelerated, whereas invasion and metastasis in sporadic cancers is reduced upon fibroblast-specific loss of Zeb1. Single-cell transcriptomics, histological characterization and in vitro modelling reveal a crucial role in CAF polarization, promoting myofibroblastic features by restricting inflammatory activation. Zeb1 deficiency impairs collagen deposition and CAF barrier function but increasesd NFκB-mediated cytokine production, jointly promoting lymphocyte recruitment and immune checkpoint activation.

DNA methylation variations are required for reversible EMT induced by cancer-associated fibroblasts in PCa cells

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cells play relevant roles in metastasis and drug resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa). Conditioned-media from Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts from two patients with aggressive PCa induce EMT, reversible DNA methylation and transcriptional variations in androgen independent PC3, but not in androgen dependent LN-CaP cells. Focal CpG islands hyper-methylation associated to transcriptional repression of epithelial markers occurs together with widespread hypo-methylation, including promoters of EMT and stemness regulating genes resulting in their transcriptional activation. Remarkably, DNA methylation and transcription patterns are entirely reverted upon exposure to serum-free medium (mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition). DNMT3A is required for de novo methylation and silencing of CDH1 and GRHL2, the ZEB1 direct repressor, while its knock-down prevents EMT entry. These unprecedented results highlight that CAF-released factors induce reversible DNA methylation patterns required for transcriptional variations essential for EMT and stemness in androgen independent PCa cells, suggesting that similar plasticity might occur in tumour microenvironment. This submission contains data and metadata from the methylation profiling by array of PC-3 cells treated with conditioned media from Human prostate fibroblasts (HPFs) and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs).

Extracellular vesicles from lung adenocarcinoma cells induce activation of fibroblasts into different cancer-associated fibroblast subtypes

Project description:Lung cancer, particularly lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, largely due to metastasis. This study investigated the impact of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from LUAD cells on lung fibroblasts. EVs were isolated from LUAD cell lines via ultracentrifugation and characterized using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis and western blot. Lung fibroblasts were treated with PBS, TGFβ or EVs, and their activation was assessed through protein (Western Blot) and RNA analysis (RNA seq and RT-qPCR). Results confirmed TGFβ induced activation and showed that LUAD EVs could also activate fibroblasts, increasing cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) markers. While EV-induced CAF activation displayed unique features, the EV and TGFβ treatments also shared some differentially expressed genes. Mesenchymal genes POSTN and SPOCK1 were significantly upregulated in TGFβ and EV-treated fibroblasts. The secretion as protein of POSTN from the TGFβ and EV-induced CAFs was confirmed through ELISA. These findings suggest that LUAD EVs play a role in CAF activation through both shared and distinct pathways compared to canonical TGFβ activation, potentially identifying novel gene expression involved in CAF activation.

scRNA-seq of patient-derived PDAC organoids and matched CAFs

Project description:We established direct three-dimensional (3D) co-cultures of primary PDAC organoids and patient-matched CAFs. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed for three organoid/CAF pairs in mono- and co-culture to uncover transcriptional changes induced by tumor-stroma interaction. Single-cell RNA sequencing data evidenced induction of a pro-inflammatory phenotype in CAFs in co-cultures. Organoids showed increased expression of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in co-cultures and several potential receptor-ligand interactions related to EMT were identified, supporting a key role of CAF-driven induction of EMT in PDAC chemoresistance.

Genome wide analysis of skin cancer cell gene expresison exposed to stromal cancer associated fibroblasts in 3D gel matrix

Project description:SCC12 cells were seeded ontop of organotypic gels with HN-CAF (head and neck carcinoma associated fibroblasts). Differential gene expression was analysed between cancer cells not exposed to CAFs or non-invading cancer cells exposed to CAFs. Squamous cell cancer organotypics were constructed by embedding CAFs in collagen Matrigel matrix with SCC 12cells added on top. Gene expression was compared between non-invaded cancer cells and cancer cells not expoesd to CAFs.

Hypoxia potentiates the inflammatory fibroblast phenotype promoted by pancreatic cancer cell-derived cytokines

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major cell type in the stroma of solid tumors and can exert both tumor-promoting and tumor-restraining functions. This functional heterogeneity is correlated with the existence of transcriptionally distinct subpopulations of CAFs. While CAF heterogeneity can be driven in part by tumor cell-produced cytokines, other determinants shaping CAF identity and function are largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of hypoxia in regulating CAF heterogeneity in PDAC

MS-based quantitative proteomic analysis of ribosomal fractions from wild-type and Zeb1-overexpressing human mammary epithelial cell

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) involves profound changes in cell morphology, driven by transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming. However, it emerges that translation and the ribosome composition play also key role in establishing physio-pathological phenotypes. Using genome-wide analyses, we report significant rearrangement of the translational landscape and machinery during EMT. Specifically, a mesenchymal cell line overexpressing the EMT transcription factor ZEB1 shows alterations in translational reprogramming and fidelity. Considering the change in translational activity of ZEB1-overexpressing mesenchymal cells, including in fidelity activity, we sought for changes in ribosome composition. We thus performed a riboproteome approach, i.e., mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomic analysis of purified cytoplasmic ribosomes to highlight any change in relative amount of individual ribosomal proteins between wild-type and ZEB1-overexpressing human mammary epithelial cells.
