Profiling the cancer-prone microenvironment in a zebrafish model for MPNST

ABSTRACT: Microenvironmental contributions to soft tissue sarcoma progression are relatively undefined, particularly in the context of sarcoma onset. Use of animal models to reveal these contributions is impeded by (1) the difficulty in discriminating between microenvironmental, precancerous, and cancer cells; and (2) the challenge in defining a precancerous microenvironment. We developed a zebrafish model that allows segregation of microenvironmental, precancerous, and cancerous cell populations by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. This model exhibits high predilection for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), a type of soft tissue sarcoma that exhibits rapid, aggressive growth. Using RNA-seq, we profiled the transcriptomes of microenvironmental cells from our zebrafish MPNST model. We show broad activation of inflammatory and immune-associated signaling networks and significant upregulation of tumor-promoting ligands in both precancerous and cancerous microenvironments. We also identify specific ligand-receptor pairs that may promote sarcomagenesis. This work provides insight into how the microenvironment may promote MPNST initiation and progression.

Repurposing FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors

Project description:Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive soft tissue sarcomas developed from Schwann cell lineage. They account for up to 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Although there is an unmet need for new therapeutic agents for MPNSTs, to date there have been few transcriptomic analyses of this tumor type. We studied FDA approved drugs for MPNST treatment and compared their transcriptomic changes in cell lines before and after treatment. We demonstrated that Fludarabine treated NF1 MPNST cells exhibited altered signaling pathways such as the upregulation of the Wnt/Ca+ pathway and downregulation of the hedgehog and hypoxia signaling pathways in the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis. The combined Colchicine and Fludarabine treatment enhanced the cytotoxicity of sporadic MPNST cells through altered signaling pathways, including increased Wnt/β-catenin pathway and others. The transcriptomic analysis comparing NF1/sporadic MPNST cells and normal Schwann cells indicated that NF1 MPNST cells had more splicing events, fewer single nucleotide variants, and induced RNA expression than sporadic MPNST cells. In summary, we identified a transcriptomic differences between MPNSTs and Schwann cells, between sporadic MPNST cells and NF1 MPNST cells, and between drug treated MPNST cells and vehicle treated cells.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of a soft-tissue sarcoma model reveals the critical role of tumor expressed MIF in shaping macrophage heterogeneity. [CITE-Seq 2]

Project description:The standard of care is unsuccessful to treat recurrent and aggressive soft-tissue sarcomas. Interventions aimed at targeting components of the tumor microenvironment have shown promise for many solid tumors, yet have been only marginally tested for sarcoma, partly because knowledge of the sarcoma microenvironment composition is limited. We employed single-cell RNA-sequencing to characterize the immune composition of an undifferentiated pleiomorphic sarcoma mouse model, showing that macrophages in the sarcoma mass exhibit distinct activation states. Sarcoma cells used the pleiotropic cytokine Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) to interact with macrophages expressing the CD74 receptor to switch macrophages’ activation state and pro-tumorigenic potential. Blocking the expression of MIF in sarcoma cells favored the accumulation of macrophages with inflammatory and antigen-presenting profiles, hence reducing tumor growth. These data may pave the way for testing new therapies aimed at re-shaping the sarcoma microenvironment, in combination with the standard of care.

PRRX1-TOP2A interaction is a malignancy-promoting factor in human malignant peripheral nerve tumor

Project description:Malignant nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are rare types of malignant soft tissue sarcomas and characterized by high resistance for current chemotherapeutic strategies, including topoisomerase 2a (TOP2A) inhibitor, etoposide. Although the poor therapeutic or severe side effects of etoposide in MPNST patients are demonstrated, novel molecular targets that promote tumor malignancy have not been identified. Previously, we reported that paired related-homeobox 1 (PRRX1) serves as a malignant factor in human osteosarcoma. Here, we found that expression level of PRRX1 in tumor tissues, especially sarcomas, are higher than in normal tissues using database analysis. PRRX1 was expressed in various human sarcoma tissues, and its level increased during malignant progression from schwannoma or neurofibroma to MPNST. High expression of PRRX1 was also associated with poor prognosis of human MPNST patients, and PRRX1 knockdown suppressed proliferation, invasion and tumorigenic potential of human MPNST cell line, HS-PSS. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that PRRX1 interacts with TOP2A, and human MPNST patients with high expression of TOP2A showed poor prognosis. Interestingly, database analysis revealed that expression level of TOP2A in tumor tissues were positively correlated with PRRX1. TOP2A knockdown in HS-PSS suppressed proliferation, and inhibited the migration induced by PRRX1A overexpression. Overexpression of PRRX1 and TOP2A cooperatively increased migration and expression of tumor-malignancy associated gene sets, including EMT, mTORC1, KRAS and SRC signaling pathways. Inhibition of PRRX1-TOP2A interaction would be a novel tumor-selective therapeutic strategy that has less severe side effects than current chemotherapies.
