Archetype tasks link intratumoral heterogeneity to plasticity in recalcitrant small cell lung cancer [cell lines]

ABSTRACT: Intratumoral heterogeneity underlies cancer treatment resistance, but approaches to neutralize it remain elusive. Here, we recast heterogeneity in a systems perspective that considers cancer cell functional tasks inherited from cells of origin. We apply Archetype Analysis to bulk transcriptomics data from small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which forms tumors composed of neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) transcriptional subtypes. SCLC subtypes fit well in a 5-dimensional polytope whose vertices optimize tasks reminiscent of pulmonary NE cells, the SCLC normal counterpart, and include injury repair, slithering, and chemosensation. SCLC cells near a vertex are specialists for a task, while more distant cells are generalists, bearing gene signatures of multiple archetypes. Evolutionary theory and dynamical systems modeling suggest a division of labor strategy for adaptation to treatment, based on task trade-offs amongst specialists and generalists. Cell Transport Potential, a metric derived from single-cell RNA velocity, uncovers plasticity trends from specialists to generalists, and NE to non-NE subtypes. Transcription factor network simulations indicate that MYC overexpression increases plasticity by de-stabilizing NE subtypes. Framing heterogeneity in archetype space provides insights into transformative cancer treatments aimed at tumor cell plasticity.

scRNA-seq of triple knockout SCLC mouse models for subtyping

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors comprise heterogeneous mixtures of cell states, categorized into neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) transcriptional subtypes. NE to non-NE state transitions, fueled by plasticity, likely underlie adaptability to treatment and dismal survival rates. Here, we apply an archetypal analysis to model plasticity by recasting SCLC phenotypic heterogeneity through multi-task evolutionary theory. Cell line and tumor transcriptomics data fit well in a five-dimensional convex polytope whose vertices optimize tasks reminiscent of pulmonary NE cells, the SCLC normal counterparts. These tasks, supported by knowledge and experimental data, include proliferation, slithering, metabolism, secretion, and injury repair, reflecting cancer hallmarks. SCLC subtypes, either at the population or single-cell level, can be positioned in archetypal space by bulk or single-cell transcriptomics, respectively, and characterized as task specialists or multi-task generalists by the distance from archetype vertex signatures. In the archetype space, modeling single-cell plasticity as a Markovian process along an underlying state manifold indicates that task trade-offs, in response to microenvironmental perturbations or treatment, may drive cell plasticity. Stifling phenotypic transitions and plasticity may provide new targets for much-needed translational advances in SCLC.

SMARCA4 controls state plasticity in small cell lung cancer through regulation of neuroendocrine transcription factors and REST splicing [RNA-seq]

Project description:Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) can be classified into transcriptional subtypes with distinct degrees of neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation. Recent evidence supports plasticity among subtypes with a bias toward adoption of low-NE states during disease progression or upon acquired chemotherapy resistance. Here, we identify a role for SMARCA4, the catalytic subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, as a regulator of subtype shift in SCLC. SMARCA4 binds to gene loci encoding NE-lineage transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1 and alters chromatin accessibility, suppressing NE programs. In parallel, SMARCA4 also controls REST, a known suppressor of the NE phenotype, by regulating SRRM4-dependent REST splicing. The SMARCA2/4 inhibitor FHD-286 induces loss of NE features and drives ERBB pathway activation in SCLC, rendering SCLC tumors sensitive to afatinib. This study nominates SMARCA4 as a key regulator of the NE state plasticity and defines a novel therapeutic strategy for SCLC.

Microenvironment Shapes Small Cell Lung Cancer Neuroendocrine States and Presents Unique Therapeutic Opportunities

Project description:Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most fatal form of lung cancer. Intra-tumoral heterogeneity, marked by neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) cell states, defines SCLC, but the drivers of SCLC plasticity are poorly understood. To map the landscape of SCLC tumor microenvironment (TME), we apply spatially resolved transcriptomics and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to metastatic SCLC tumors obtained via rapid autopsy. The phenotype and overall composition of non-malignant cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits substantial variability, closely mirroring the tumor phenotype, suggesting TME-driven reprogramming of NE cell states. We identify cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) as a crucial element of SCLC TME heterogeneity, contributing to immune exclusion, and predicting an exceptionally poor prognosis. Together, our work provides the first comprehensive map of SCLC tumor and TME ecosystems, emphasizing their pivotal role in SCLCs adaptable nature, opening possibilities for re-programming the intercellular communications that shape SCLC tumor states.

YAP governs intratumoral heterogeneity and chemosensitivity of small cell lung cancer [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Small cell lung cancer is the most aggressive type of lung cancer and has a high degree of plasticity, characterized by a remarkable response to chemotherapy followed by development of resistance. We show that intratumoral heterogeneity of SCLC is progressively established, indicated by the appearance of YAP+ and HES1+ SCLC tumor cells. Notch signaling is required for the generation of Non-NE SCLC cells, but not for the tumorigenesis of SCLC. Furthermore, YAP signals through Notch-dependent and independent pathway to induce REST expression to promote the conversion of NE to Non-NE SCLC tumor cells. In addition, YAP activation enhances the chemoresistance in NE SCLC tumor cells by downregulating GSDME, while inactivation of YAP in Non-NE SCLC tumor cells switches cell death from apoptosis to pyroptosis. Our study will not only provide novel insights into the molecular basis of SCLC tumorigenesis, but also the potential drug targets for SCLC therapy
