Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment Maintains Tumor Growth through Nucleosides Secretion

ABSTRACT: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the most prominent and active components in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment. Our data show that CAFs are critical for PDAC survival upon glutamine deprivation. Specifically, we uncovered a role for nucleosides, which are secreted by CAFs through autophagy in an NUFIP1-depenent manner, increased glucose utilization and promoted growth of PDAC. Moreover, we demonstrate that CAF-derived nucleosides induced glucose consumption under glutamine-deprived conditions and displayed a dependence on MYC. Using an orthotopic mouse model of PDAC, we found that inhibiting nucleoside secretion by targeting NUFIP1 in the stroma reduced tumor weight. This finding highlights a previously unappreciated metabolic network within pancreatic tumors in which diverse nutrients are used to promote growth in an austere tumor microenvironment.

Single-Cell Analysis of Human Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Project description:<p>Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are major players in the progression and drug resistance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). CAFs constitute a diverse cell population consisting of several recently described subtypes, although the extent of CAF heterogeneity has remained undefined. Here we employ single-cell RNA-sequencing to thoroughly characterize the neoplastic and tumor microenvironment content of human PDAC tumors. Six human PDAC tumor specimens from six patients were collected, and processed for single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis. Adjacent-normal pancreas tissue was also collected from two of the patients. Tumor samples were digested, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to isolate viable cells. For one tumor sample, viable, CD45-negative, CD31-negative, and EpCAM-negative cells were also isolated to enrich for CAFs. The 10X Chromium platform was then used to isolate single cells for RNA-sequencing analysis. This work has demonstrated the differences in immune cell populations between adjacent-normal and tumor tissues, and identified subpopulations of epithelial cells and CAFs present in PDAC tumors. This high-throughput analysis is a resource to better understand the cell populations present in PDAC, and may ultimately aid in the development of more effective therapies for this deadly malignancy.</p>

The Lin28b/Wnt5a axis drives pancreas cancer through crosstalk between cancer associated fibroblasts and tumor epithelium

Project description:Bidirectional signal transduction between tumor epithelial cells and tumor microenvironment (TME) is important for tumor development. Here we showed that Lin28b/let-7 pathway is indispensable for modulating the expression of Wnt5a in tumor epithelium, which could be secreted and then up-regulates Lin28b in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Moreover, we demonstrated that Lin28b in CAFs promoted growth of PDAC by inducing cytokine PCSK9’s production. Using an orthotopic mouse model of PDAC, we fouind that depletion of Lin28b in CAFs reduced tumor weight, highlighting the importance of Lin28b in PDAC stromal. Thus, our study shows that the Lin28b-Wnt5a axis plays a critical role in bidirectional crosstalk between pancreatic tumor epithelium and TME and results in a pro-‍tumorigenic contexture.

RNA-seq of pancreatic CAF-derived cell line 0082T treated with Autotaxin inhibitors (IOA-289 and PF-8380) against DMSO treated controls

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX), encoded by ENPP2, catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an important regulator within the tumor microenvironment (TME). ATX is a clinical target in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), yet the pro-tumorigenic action of the ATX/LPA axis in PDAC remains unclear. PDAC is characterized by a highly fibrotic tumor microenvironment (TME) due to an abundance of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), acting as a barrier to therapy and contributing to the poor survival of PDAC patients. The mechanism by which ATX inhibition influences CAFs and their secretome is still not fully characterized. To identified potential downstream mediators of ATX signaling, we performed RNA-seq of pancreatic CAF-derived cell line 0082T treated with Autotaxin inhibitors, IOA-289 and PF-8380. PF-8380 treatment resulted in a higher number of differentially expressed genes compared to IOA-289 treatment. IOA-289 treatment resulted in only four significantly differentially expressed genes (CTGF, PLIN2, HHIP, and AHNAK). However, only PLIN2, which was upregulated and CTGF, which was downregulated, overlapped between the two ATX inhibitors. As CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) is a pro-fibrotic and pro-tumorigenic factor, it suggests a key role for CAF-derived ATX in promoting autocrine and paracrine pro-tumorigenic signaling in PDAC.

Expression data from gemcitabine treated pancreatic CAFs

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a characteristically dense stroma comprised predominantly of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs promote tumor growth, metastasis and treatment resistance. We aimed to investigate the molecular changes and functional consequences associated with chemotherapy treatment of PDAC CAFs. Chemoresistant immortalized CAFs (R-CAFs) were generated by continuous incubation in 100nM gemcitabine. Gene expression differences between treatment naÃ¯ve CAFs (N-CAFs) and R-CAFs were compared by array analysis. Immortalized human pancreatic CAFs were grown for 30 days in either control media or media containing 100nM gemcitabine. RNA was then isolated and hybidized on U133 Plus 2.0 Affymetrix arrays.

RNA Expression Profile of normal fibroblasts (NFs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) derived from human Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Although how CAFs impact the tumor epithelium is being progressively unveiled, transcriptional processes of lineage plasticity in fibroblasts govern the acquisition and transition of the CAF phenotype are much less understood. Here, to explore the potential involvement of the circular RNAs (circRNAs) in fibroblast activation and phenotype acquisition, we isolated CAFs and NFs from human pancreatic cancer and paired normal pancreatic tissue. Next, we conducted circRNA profiling five CAFs and three paired NFs by high throughput sequencing. Our results showed that clusters of circRNAs were aberrantly expressed in CAFs compared with NFs, and provided potential targets for future treatment of PDAC and novel insights into PDAC microenvironment.

Schwann Cells Shape Tumor Cells and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts in the Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Microenvironment

Project description:Neuropathy is a feature more frequently observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) than other tumors. Schwann cells, the most prevalent cell in peripheral nerves, migrate toward tumor cells and associate with poor prognosis in PDAC. To unveil the effects of Schwann cells on the neuro-stroma niche, single-cell RNA-sequencing and microarray-based spatial transcriptome analysis of PDAC tissues were performed. Results suggested that Schwann cells may drive tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to more malignant subtypes: basal-like and inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs), respectively. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that Schwann cells enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDAC cells via Midkine and promoted the switch of CAFs to iCAFs via interleukin-1a. By Schwann cells condition medium, tumor cells together with iCAFs accelerate PDAC progression. Thus, we revealed, for the first time, that Schwann cells induce malignant subtypes of tumor cells and CAFs in the PDAC milieu.

Tumor-stroma IL-1β-IRAK4 Feedforward Circuitry Drives Tumor Fibrosis, Chemo-resistance and Poor Prognosis in Pancreatic Cancer

Project description:Targeting the desmoplastic stroma of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) holds promise to augment the effect of chemotherapy, but so far success remains limited in the clinic. Furthermore, preclinical mouse models suggest that near-depletion of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) carries a risk of accelerating PDAC progression. These concerns underscore the need to concurrently target the key signaling mechanisms that drive the malignant attributes of both CAFs and PDAC cells. We previously reported that inhibition of Interleukin-1 Receptor Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) suppresses NF-kB activity and promotes chemotherapy response in PDAC cells. In this study, we show that CAFs in PDAC tumors robustly express activated IRAK4 and NF-kb. The role of IRAK4 and NF-kB in PDAC CAFs has not been reported, and should be clarified before advancing IRAK4 inhibitors to the clinic. Using shRNAs and small molecular inhibitors, we found that IRAK4 is a key driver of NF-kB activity in CAFs. We showed that CAFs utilizes IRAK4 to drive tumor fibrosis, support PDAC cells proliferation, survival and chemoresistance in vitro and in vivo. From cytokine array analysis of CAFs and microarray analysis of PDAC cells, we identified IL-1b as a key cytokine that activates IRAK4 in CAFs. Targeting IRAK4 or IL-1b renders PDAC tumors less fibrotic and more sensitive to gemcitabine in vivo. Moreover, high IL-1b expression by immunohistochemistry in PDAC stroma is strongly associated with poor overall survival. Together, our studies established a tumor-stroma IL-1b-IRAK4 feedforward circuitry that can be therapeutically disrupted to render chemotherapy more effective in PDAC.

Folfirinox-dependent reprogramming of macrophages by primary pancreatic cancer CAFs

Project description:The pancreatic cancer tumor microenvironment is dominated primarily by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor associated macrophages (TAMs). The interecellular dialogue between CAFs and TAMs and the resulting impact on chemoresistance, specifically to Folfirinox, remains poorly understood. In this study, we sought to understand the impact of primary PDAC CAFs on macrophage reprogramming in a folfirinox-dependent manner and performed various cellular assays (viability, immunophenotyping, phagocytosis, secretory profile analysis) and transcriptomic analysis.
