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.

Exploring the mechanism of AGR2 regulating the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly invasive and lethal malignant tumor characterized by extensive desmoplasia. We found that AGR2 deletion reshapes the tumor microenvironment by affecting the activation of the IGF1 signaling pathway. On the one hand, AGR2, as an endoplasmic reticulum protein, promoted correct folding and cell surface distribution of IGF1R. On the other hand, AGR2 was secreted into the extracellular space, promoting IGF1 transcription by activating the WNT pathway in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Through these mechanisms, AGR2 significantly enhanced the IGF1 signal in the PDAC tumor microenvironment, accelerating the formation of desmoplasia and an immunosuppressive microenvironment.

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.
