Clearance of a senescent macrophage-enriched niche ameliorates tumorigenesis in KRAS-driven murine lung cancer models

ABSTRACT: Understanding the important role of the tumour microenvironment on tumour initiation and progression is vital for a comprehensive understanding of cancer biology to design effective treatment strategies. Cellular senescence, while traditionally thought of as a cell autonomous tumour-suppressive response to potentially oncogenic insults, is now appreciated to have paracrine tumour promoting roles. We demonstrate a pro-tumourigenic effect of senescent microenvironmental cells on mouse lung tumour progression. To better understand the characteristics of these pro-tumourigenic senescent cells in the tumour microenvironment, we compare putatively senescent cells (reported by mCherry-expression) and non-senescent cells (mCherry-negative cells) from the lung microenvironment of mice induced to form lung tumours by oncogenic KrasG12D-expression in the lung epithelium. Putatively senescent cells are isolated by FACS, based on mCherry-expression which is expressed under the control of the Cdkn2a (p16) locus using a novel genetically engineered allele (p16FDR/+), along with their non-senescent counterparts for comparison by single cell RNA-sequencing.

Clearance of senescent macrophages ameliorates tumorigenesis in KRAS-driven lung cancer

Project description:Accumulation of senescent cells in the tumour microenvironment can drive tumourigenesis in a paracrine manner through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Using a new p16-FDR mouse line, we show that macrophages and endothelial cells are the predominant senescent cell types in murine KRAS-driven lung tumours. Single cell transcriptomics identify a population of tumour-associated macrophages, expressing a unique array of pro-tumourigenic SASP factors and surface proteins, that are also present in normal aged lungs. Genetic or senolytic ablation of senescent cells, and macrophage depletion, result in a significant reduction in tumour burden and increased mouse survival of KRAS-driven lung cancer models. Of translational relevance, we reveal the presence of macrophages with senescent features in human lung premalignant lesions, but not in adenocarcinomas. Together, our results have uncovered a population of senescent macrophages contributing to the initiation and progression of lung cancer, thus opening potential therapeutic avenues and cancer preventative strategies.

RNA seq of prostate gland from WT, PTEN pc -/- and PTEN pc-/-;P53 -/- mice

Project description:Acute Pten loss initiates prostate tumorigenesis characterized by cellular senescence response. Senescent cells secrete a variety of pro inflammatory factors in the tumor microenvironment, which can support the survival, outgrowth and migration of tumor cells. Here we examine cytokines and cytokines-related factors gene expression in Ptenpc-/- senescent and in Ptenpc-/-; Trp53pc-/- non senescent tumors. RNAseq analysis confirmed the presence of cytokines, which were specifically up- and down-regulated in Ptenpc-/- senescent tumors (“core-SASP”) we also found a number of upregulated secreted factors that were “senescence-unrelated” both present in both Ptenpc-/- and Ptenpc-/-; Trp53pc-/- tumors.

RNA sequencing of gamma-delta T cell subsets from young and old mice

Project description:Organismal ageing is associated with loss of immune function and higher incidence of cancer. Whether the γδ T cell pool changes upon organismal ageing is not known. In this study we have characterized γδ T cells in peripheral lymph nodes from old and young mice. We found that the γδ T cell pool is severely altered in old mice. The IL-17 producing γδ lineage becomes dominating while IFN-γ producing γδ1 T cells are declining. γδTCR sequencing revealed no collapse in diversity but oligoclonal expansions in Vγ4 γδ17 subsets. Pro-tumourigenic invariant Vγ6 cells are present only in aged lymph nodes, represent the majority of γδ T cells in the tumour, and are associated with faster tumour progression.

Radiation exposure elicits a neutrophil-driven response in healthy lung tissue that enhances metastatic colonization

Project description:Radiotherapy, a treatment modality received by more than half of all cancer patients, remains one of the most effective approaches to achieve local tumour control. Despite increased accuracy driven by technological advances, healthy tissue injury due to off-target radiation exposure can still occur. In this study, we sought to understand the biological effect of radiation-mediated injury to the lung in the context of cancer metastasis, since we had previously reported that tissue regeneration is a feature of the metastatic microenvironment of this organ. We have exposed healthy mouse lung tissue to radiation prior to the induction of metastasis and observed a strong enhancement of cancer cell growth. Lung tissue was preconditioned into a profoundly tumour-supportive microenvironment governed by enhanced regenerative Notch signalling. Most importantly, we found that locally activated neutrophils were key drivers of these tissue perturbations, significantly increasing the metastatic proficiency of irradiated lung tissue and endowing arriving cancer cells with an augmented stemness phenotype. We show that by preventing neutrophil-dependent Notch activation in the irradiated tissue, we were able to significantly offset the radiation-enhanced metastases. Mechanistically, we identified the release of neutrophil granules as the effectors of the pro-tumorigenic preconditioning of the irradiated lung tissue. These findings not only reveal a novel tumour-supportive function of neutrophils in the context of tissue-injury, but also have important clinical implications by suggesting targeting their activity could maximise the success of radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer.

Identification of stromally expressed molecules in the prostate by Tag profiling of cancer-associated fibroblasts, normal fibroblasts and fetal prostate

Project description:The stromal microenvironment plays key roles in prostate development and cancer. Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and other stromal cells stimulate tumourigenesis via several mechanisms including the expression of pro-tumourigenic factors. Mesenchyme (embryonic stroma) controls prostate organogenesis, and in some circumstances can re-differentiate prostate tumours. Epithelia are regulated by powerful paracrine signalling from the stroma in both development and disease, and identification of these stromal signals is important. We have applied next-generation Tag profiling to fetal human prostate, normal human prostate fibroblasts (NPFs) and CAFs to identify molecules expressed in prostatic stroma Each sample was used for Tag library construction, by Solexa Inc

Heterocellular OSM-OSMR signalling drives pancreatic tumour growth and metastasis through functional fibroblast reprogramming

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal malignancy characterised by a pathologicalfibroinflammatorymicroenvironment. Dichotomous tumour-promoting and -restrictive roles have been ascribed to the tumour microenvironment, however thedisparate effect of individual stromal subsets remains incompletely characterised. Here, we describe how heterocellular OSM-OSMR signalling instructsfibroblast reprogramming,tumourgrowth and metastasis.Macrophage-secreted OSM stimulatesinflammatory gene expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which in turn induce a pro-tumorigenic environment and engage tumour cellsurvival and migratory signalling pathways. Tumour cells implanted in Osm-deficient (Osm-/-) mice display an epithelial-dominated morphology, reduced tumour growth and did notmetastasise. Moreover, the tumour microenvironment of Osm-/-animals exhibit increased abundance of αSMAposmyofibroblasts and a shift in myeloid and T cell phenotypes, consistent with a more immunogenic environment. Taken together, these data demonstrate how OSM-OSMR signalling coordinates heterocellular interactions to drive a pro-tumorigenic environment in PDA.

FBP1 loss disrupts liver metabolism and promotes tumourigenesis through a hepatic stellate cell senescence secretome

Project description:Crosstalk between deregulated hepatocyte metabolism and cells within the tumour microenvironment, and consequent effects on liver tumourigenesis, are incompletely understood. We show here that hepatocyte specific loss of the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1) disrupts liver metabolic homeostasis and promotes tumour progression. FBP1 is universally silenced in both human and murine liver tumours, and hepatocyte-specific Fbp1 deletion results in steatosis, concomitant with activation and senescence of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), exhibiting a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Depleting senescent HSCs by senolytic treatment with dasatinib/quercetin or ABT-263 inhibits tumour progression. We further demonstrate that FBP1-deficient hepatocytes promote HSC activation by releasing HMGB1; blocking its release with the small molecule inflachromene limits FBP1-dependent HSC activation, subsequent SASP development, and tumour progression. Collectively, these findings provide genetic evidence for FBP1 as a metabolic tumour suppressor in liver cancer and establish a critical link between hepatocyte metabolism and HSC senescence that promotes tumour growth.

Senescent and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts share a contractile phenotype regulated by NOX4 generation of reactive oxygen species in the tumour microenvironment

Project description:Cancer associated fibroblasts characterized by an myofibroblastic phenotype play a major role in the tumour microenvironment, being associated with poor prognosis. We found that this cell population is made in part by senescent fibroblasts in vivo. As senescent fibroblasts and myofibroblasts have been shown to share similar tumour promoting functions in vitro we compared the transcriptosomes of these two fibroblast types and performed RNA-seq of human foetal foreskin fibroblasts 2 (HFFF2) treated with 2ng/ml TGF-beta-1 to induce myofibroblast differentiation or 10Gy gamma irradiation to induce senescence. We isolated RNA 7 days upon this treatments changing the medium 3 days before the RNA extraction. A series of SAM alignment files (named after the sample names, for simplicity) are available under http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-3101/files/ .

Oncogenic signals prime cancer cells for toxic cell growth during a G1 cell cycle arrest

Project description:A long-term goal in cancer research has been to inhibit the cell cycle in tumour cells without causing toxicity in proliferative healthy tissues. The best evidence that this is achievable is provided by CDK4/6 inhibitors, which arrest the cell cycle in G1, are well-tolerated in patients, and are effective in treating ER+/HER2- breast cancer. CDK4/6 inhibitors are effective because they arrest tumour cells more efficiently than some healthy cell types and, in addition, they affect the tumour microenvironment to enhance anti-tumour immunity. We demonstrate here another reason to explain their efficacy. Tumour cells are specifically vulnerable to CDK4/6 inhibition because during the G1 arrest, oncogenic signals drive toxic cell overgrowth. This overgrowth causes permanent cell cycle withdrawal by either preventing progression from G1 or by inducing replication stress and genotoxic damage during the subsequent S-phase and mitosis. Inhibiting or reverting oncogenic signals that converge onto mTOR can rescue this excessive growth, DNA damage and cell cycle exit in cancer cells. Conversely, inducing oncogenic signals in non-transformed cells can drive these toxic phenotypes and sensitize cells to CDK4/6 inhibition. Together, this demonstrates how oncogenic signals that have evolved to stimulate constitutive tumour growth and proliferation driven subverted to cause toxic cell growth and irreversible cell cycle exit when proliferation is halted in G1.
