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.

mRNA gene expression of colon fibroblasts isolated from mouse colon

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).

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

Differential proteomic profiling between Cancer Associated Fibroblasts and KRAS mutated cancer cell lines

Project description:Purpose Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key component of tumors. We aimed to profile the proteome of cancer cell lines representing three common cancer types (lung, colorectal and pancreatic) and a representative CAF cell line from each tumor type to gain insight into CAF function and identify new CAF biomarkers. Experimental Design We used isobaric labeling, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to evaluate the proteome of 9 cancer and 3 CAF cell lines. Functions of selected differentially expressed proteins in CAF cell lines were further investigated using siRNA and the expression levels of candidate novel CAF biomarkers were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 30 human tumor specimens. Results Of the 9460 proteins evaluated, functional enrichment analysis revealed N-glycan biosynthesis and extracellular membrane proteins to be upregulated in CAFs and not in cancer cells. 85 proteins had 16-fold higher expression in CAFs compared to cancer cells. These included previously known CAF markers like ACTA2, FAP and SDC2. Novel biomarkers overexpressed in CAFs were noted, including HSPB6 and PTGS1. SiRNA knockdown of these genes encoding these proteins did not reduce contractility in lung CAFs, suggesting they were not crucial to this function despite high expression. Immunohistochemical analysis of 30 tumor samples (10 lung, 10 colorectal and 10 pancreatic) showed HSPB6 and PTGS1 expression were restricted to the stroma. Conclusions An unbiased analysis of the differences in the proteome of cancer cells compared to CAFs revealed increased expression of HSPB6 and PTGS1 in CAFs.

Comprehensive proteomic profiling of the differences between Cancer Associated Fibroblasts and KRAS mutated cancer cell lines

Project description:Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key component of tumors. We aimed to profile the proteome of cancer cell lines representing three common cancer types (lung, colorectal and pancreatic) and a representative CAF cell line from each tumor type to gain insight into CAF function and identify new CAF biomarkers. We used liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry to evaluate the proteome of 9 cancer and 3 CAF cell lines. Functions of selected differentially expressed proteins in CAF cell lines were studied using siRNA and expression of new CAF biomarkers identified in cell lines were studied by immunohistochemistry in 30 human tumor specimens. Of the 9460 proteins evaluated, functional enrichment analysis revealed N-glycan biosynthesis and extracellular membrane proteins to be upregulated in CAFs and not in cancer cells. 85 proteins had 16-fold higher expression in CAFs compared to cancer cells.
