Project description:Our studies indicate that cancer cells of carcinomas are coated with CXCL12 chemokine in covalent conjugation with keratin-19 (KRT19). Murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) formed with Krt19-edited cancer cells lack the CXCL12-coating and are infiltrated with T cells, compared to tumors formed with control sgScramble PDA cells. To probe the immunological role of this CXCL12-coating thoroughly, bulk RNA sequencing of subcutaneous (s/c) murine sgScramble PDA tumors and Krt19-edited PDA tumors were conducted.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is characterized by abundant desmoplasia and poor tissue perfusion. These features are proposed to limit access of therapies to neoplastic cells and blunt treatment efficacy. Indeed, several agents that target the PDA microenvironment promote chemotherapy delivery and improve anti-neoplastic responses in murine models of PDA. Here, we employed the FG-3019 monoclonal antibody directed against the pleiotropic matricellular signaling molecule connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2). FG-3019 treatment increased PDA cell killing and led to a dramatic tumor response without altering gemcitabine delivery. Microarray expression profiling revealed the down-regulation by FG-3019 of several anti-apoptotic transcripts, including the master regulator Xiap, down-regulation of which has been shown to sensitize PDA to gemcitabine. Decreases in XIAP protein by FG-3019 in the presence and absence of gemcitabine were confirmed by immunoblot, while increases in XIAP protein were seen in PDA cell lines treated with recombinant CTGF. Therefore, alterations in survival cues following targeting of tumor microenvironmental factors may play an important role in treatment responses in animal models and, by extension, PDA patients. Total RNA was isolated from KPC mouse PDA tumors 9 days after initiation of treatment with IgG (n=7 biological replicates), FG-3019 (n=5), IgG + gemcitabine (n=6), or FG-3019 + gemcitabine (n=6) and hybridized to Affymetrix 430A 2.0 microarrays. CEL files were processed by GC-RMA and rescaled using median per-gene normalization in GeneSpring GX 7.3.1.

Project description:Background & Aims: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are characterized by fibrosis and an abundance of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). We investigated strategies to disrupt interactions among CAFs, the immune system, and cancer cells, focusing on adhesion molecule cadherin 11 (CDH11), which has been associated with other fibrotic disorders and is expressed by activated fibroblasts. Methods: We compared levels of CDH11 mRNA in human pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer tissues and cells, compared with normal pancreas, and measured levels of CDH11 protein in human and mouse pancreatic lesions and normal tissues. We crossed p48-Cre;LSL-KrasG12D/+;LSL-Trp53R172H/+ (KPC) mice with CDH11-knockout mice and measured survival times of offspring. Pancreata were collected and analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry, and (single-cell) RNA sequencing; RNA and proteins were identified by imaging mass cytometry. Some mice were given injections of PD1 antibody or gemcitabine and survival was monitored. Pancreatic cancer cells from KPC mice were subcutaneously injected into Cdh11+/+ and Cdh11–/– mice and tumor growth was monitored. Pancreatic cancer cells (mT3) from KPC mice (C57BL/6), were subcutaneously injected into Cdh11+/+ (C57BL/6J) mice and mice were given injections of antibody against CDH11, gemcitabine, or small molecule inhibitor of CDH11 (SD133) and tumor growth was monitored. Results: Levels of CDH11 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in CAFs than in pancreatic cancer epithelial cells, human or mouse pancreatic cancer cell lines, or immune cells. KPC/Cdh11+/– and KPC/Cdh11–/– mice survived significantly longer than KPC/Cdh11+/+ mice. Markers of stromal activation entirely surrounded pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias in KPC/Cdh11+/+ mice and incompletely in KPC/Cdh11+/– and KPC/Cdh11–/– mice, whose lesions also contained fewer FOXP3+ cells in the tumor center. Compared with pancreatic tumors in KPC/Cdh11+/+ mice, tumors of KPC/Cdh1+/– mice had increased markers of antigen processing and presentation; more lymphocytes and cytokines associated with lymphocyte infiltration; decreased extracellular matrix components; and reductions in markers and cytokines associated with immunosuppression. Administration of the PD1 antibody did not prolong survival of KPC mice with 0, 1, or 2 alleles of Cdh11. Gemcitabine extended survival only of KPC/Cdh11+/– and KPC/Cdh11–/– mice or reduced subcutaneous tumor growth in mT3 engrafted Cdh11+/+ mice given in combination with the CDH11 antibody. A small molecule inhibitor of CDH11 reduced growth of pre-established mT3 subcutaneous tumors only if T and B cells were present in mice. Conclusions: Knockout or inhibition of CDH11, which is expressed by CAFs in the pancreatic tumor stroma, reduces growth of pancreatic tumors, increases their response to gemcitabine, and significantly extends survival of mice. CDH11 promotes immunosuppression and extracellular matrix deposition, and might be developed as a therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) are one source of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and play, therefore, an essential role in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Paracrine signalling between PDA cancer cells and CAF has been widely studied, yet external influences on paracrine crosstalk are poorly understood. This study aimed to gain a deeper insight into the communication of PSC and cancer cells under different co-culture conditions via analysis of PSC gene expression profiles. Two contactless co-culture models with tumor cells from the p48-Cre; lox-stop-lox-KrasG12D/+; lox-stop-lox-Trp53R172H/+ mouse model (KPC) and murine PSC separated through a microporous membrane and grown in different compartments (standard co-culture) or on different sides of the same membrane (inverse co-culture), were established. RNA-Sequencing analysis of PSC mRNA was performed 24 h and 72 h after co-culture with KPC cells. For selected genes, results were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Standard co-culture displayed 19 differentially expressed genes (DEG) at 24 h and 52 DEG at 72 h. In inverse co-culture, 800 DEG at 24 h and 2213 DEG at 72 h were enriched. PSC showed great heterogeneity in their gene expression profiles; however, mutually regulated genes of both co-cultures, such as VCAN and CHST11, could be identified. VCAN-protein-protein interaction-network analysis revealed several shared genes between co-culture models, such as SDC4 and FN1. In conclusion, PSC show a varying susceptibility to cancer cell signals depending on the co-culture method, with intensified transcriptome changes with closer proximity.

Project description:Cancer-induced muscle wasting reduces quality of life, complicates or precludes cancer treatments, and predicts early mortality. Herein, we investigated the requirement of the muscle-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase, MuRF1, for muscle wasting induced by pancreatic cancer. Murine pancreatic cancer (KPC) cells, or saline, were injected into the pancreas of WT and MuRF1-/- mice, and tissues analyzed throughout tumor progression. KPC tumors induced progressive wasting of skeletal muscle and systemic metabolic reprogramming in WT mice, but not MuRF1-/- mice. KPC tumors from MuRF1-/- mice also grew slower, and showed an accumulation of metabolites normally depleted by rapidly growing tumors. Mechanistically, MuRF1 was necessary for the KPC-induced increases in cytoskeletal and muscle contractile protein ubiquitination, and the depression of proteins that support protein synthesis. Together, these data demonstrate that MuRF1 is required for KPC-induced skeletal muscle wasting, whose deletion reprograms the systemic and tumor metabolome and delays tumor growth.

As comparison, an immunogenic tumor model was also assessed. To do so, s/c sgScramble PDA tumors and PDA tumors formed with sgScramble cells exppressing doxcycline-inducible ovalbumin (icOVA) were harvested and processed for bulk RNA sequencing.

Project description:Immunotherapy approaches have been ineffective in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), pointing to the need for additional avenues to target in the pancreatic cancer microenvironment. We previously discovered that tumor educated bone marrow derived macrophages express high levels of C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 1 (CCR1). By single-cell RNA sequencing, we found CCR1 to be expressed predominantly by tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and granulocytes in both human and mouse PDA. Thus, we sought to investigate the functional role of CCR1 in pancreatic cancer. Using KC; Ccr1-/- mice (Ptf1a-Cre; LSL-KrasG12D; Ccr1-/-), we determined that CCR1 is dispensable during pancreatic cancer initiation, although we observed increased CD8 T cell infiltration in KC; Ccr1-/- pancreata. Using syngeneic orthotopic PDA mouse models we discovered that CCR1 ablation in Ccr1-/- mice or pharmaceutical inhibition of CCR1 both resulted in reduced tumor growth. Further, CCR1 ablation prolonged the overall survival of KPC mice. Through mass cytometry (CyTOF) and co-immunofluorescence staining we showed CCR1 ablation elevated CD8 T cell cytotoxic activity in the orthotopic PDA model. Mechanistically we found TAMs lacking CCR1 expressed less Arginase 1 and CD206 -both immunosuppressive markers of macrophages- compared to wild type TAMs. Further, targeting both CCR1 and Arginase 1 synergized with immune checkpoint blockade anti-PD-L1 to enhance antitumor efficacy in orthotopic model of PDA. Together, our data is consistent with the notion that tumor associated macrophages lacking CCR1 expression are less immunosuppressive, consequently allowing increased CD8 T cell mediated anti-tumor immunity. Targeting CCR1 in combination with immune checkpoint blockade improves antitumor efficacy in pancreatic cancer.
