Acquired anoikis resistance mediates enhancer-driven subtype plasticity in pancreatic cancer [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Genetic aberrations, including mutations or deletions in KRAS, TP53, SMAD4, and CDKN2A, are common causes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Recent large-scale transcriptomic studies demonstrated that heterogeneous gene expressions played an essential role in determining molecular subtypes of PDA, although it remains unclear what the biological cues and consequences of distinct transcriptional programs are. Here, we describe an anoikis-induction-based experimental model that enforces the transition toward a squamous subtype of PDA cells. Characteristics of the squamous subtype, represented by aggressive behaviors, are faithfully recapitulated in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating the physiological relevance of this model. Integrated analysis of epigenome and transcriptome reveals that squamous subtype PDA cells acquire pro-angiogenic enhancer activity of which is sustained by the transcription factor TEAD2. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of TEAD2 of these tumor cells impairs their pro-angiogenic phenotypes in vitro and cancer progression in vivo. Furthermore, we found that CD109 is a critical TEAD2 target that retains activated JAK-STAT signaling. Together, our findings implicate a TEAD2-CD109-JAK/STAT axis as a potential therapeutic vulnerability concealed in the squamous subtype-associated epigenome of pancreatic cancer cells.

ZBED2 is an antagonist of Interferon Regulatory Factor 1 and modifies cell identity in pancreatic cancer (RNA-seq)

Project description:Lineage plasticity is a prominent feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells, which can occur via deregulation of lineage-specifying transcription factors. Here, we show that the zinc finger protein ZBED2 is aberrantly expressed in PDA and regulates tumor cell identity in this disease. Unexpectedly, our epigenomic experiments reveal that ZBED2 is a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor of interferon-stimulated genes, which occurs through antagonism of Interferon Regulatory Factor 1 (IRF1)-mediated transcriptional activation at co-occupied promoter elements. Consequently, ZBED2 attenuates the transcriptional output and growth arrest phenotypes downstream of interferon signaling in multiple PDA cell line models. We also found that ZBED2 is preferentially expressed in the squamous molecular subtype of human PDA, in association with inferior patient survival outcomes. Consistent with this observation, we show that ZBED2 can repress the pancreatic progenitor transcriptional program, enhance motility, and promote invasion in PDA cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that high ZBED2 expression is acquired during PDA progression to suppress the interferon response pathway and to promote lineage plasticity in this disease.

TP63-mediated enhancer reprogramming drives the squamous subtype of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:The aberrant expression of squamous lineage markers in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been correlated with poor clinical outcomes. However, the functional role of this putative trans-differentiation event in PDA pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we show that expression of the transcription factor TP63 (ΔN isoform) is sufficient to install and sustain the enhancer landscape and transcriptional signature of the squamous lineage in human PDA cells. In addition, we demonstrate that TP63-driven enhancer reprogramming promotes aggressive tumor phenotypes, including enhanced cell motility and invasion and an accelerated growth of primary PDA tumors and metastases in vivo. Conversely, we provide evidence that squamous PDA remains addicted to TP63 to sustain the growth of primary tumors and metastases. Taken together, our study validates the functional significance of squamous trans-differentiation in PDA, and reveals TP63-based reprogramming of PDA cells as an experimental tool for investigating vulnerabilities linked to this cell fate transition.

Suppression of skin tumorigenesis in CD109-deficient mice

Project description:CD109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that is highly expressed in several types of human cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinomas. We previously reported that CD109-deficient mice exhibit epidermal hyperplasia and chronic skin inflammation. Although we found that CD109 regulates differentiation of keratinocytes in vivo, the function of CD109 in tumorigenesis remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of CD109 in skin tumorigenesis using a two-stage carcinogenesis model in CD109-deficient mice with chronic skin inflammation.

<scp>ELAPOR1</scp> induces the classical/progenitor subtype and contributes to reduced disease aggressiveness through metabolic reprogramming in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular subtypes described as classical/progenitor and basal-like/squamous PDAC. We hypothesized that integrative transcriptome and metabolome approaches can identify candidate genes whose inactivation contributes to the development of the aggressive basal-like/squamous subtype. Using our integrated approach, we identified endosome-lysosome associated apoptosis and autophagy regulator 1 (ELAPOR1/KIAA1324) as a candidate tumor suppressor in both our NCI-UMD-German cohort and additional validation cohorts. Diminished ELAPOR1 expression was linked to high histological grade, advanced disease stage, the basal-like/squamous subtype, and reduced patient survival in PDAC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ELAPOR1 transgene expression not only inhibited the migration and invasion of PDAC cells but also induced gene expression characteristics associated with the classical/progenitor subtype. Metabolome analysis of patient tumors and PDAC cells revealed a metabolic program associated with both upregulated ELAPOR1 and the classical/progenitor subtype, encompassing upregulated lipogenesis and downregulated amino acid metabolism. 1-Methylnicotinamide, a known oncometabolite derived from S-adenosylmethionine, was inversely associated with ELAPOR1 expression and promoted migration and invasion of PDAC cells in vitro. Taken together, our data suggest that enhanced ELAPOR1 expression promotes transcriptome and metabolome characteristics that are indicative of the classical/progenitor subtype, whereas its reduction associates with basal-like/squamous tumors with increased disease aggressiveness in PDAC patients. These findings position ELAPOR1 as a promising candidate for diagnostic and therapeutic targeting in PDAC.

MAP Kinase inhibition depletes tumor-infiltrating macrophages in mouse pancreatic cancer [Essen]

Project description:The MAP Kinase pathway is the index oncogenic signaling towards which many compounds have been developed for the treatment of KRAS-driven cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). How targeted MEK1/2 inhibition (MEKi) alters the tumor-microenvironment (TME) of PDA is poorly understood. Here, we showed that transcriptional signatures of MAP Kinase activation are enriched in aggressive human PDA subtype, while short term MEKi treatment in mouse PDA induced subtype switching. Moreover, MEKi induced depletion of tumor-infiltrating macrophages, while augmenting infiltration by neutrophils. Depletion of macrophages is observed early during in vivo treatment and is at least partially due to their higher sensitivity to MEKi. Since tumor-associated macrophages are consistently reported to interfere with gemcitabine uptake by PDA cells, we tested a sequential combination of MEKi and gemcitabine, which showed superior antitumor activity in vivo. These findings suggest that MEKi-induced TME remodeling might be exploited to increase therapeutic responses in PDA.
