Acidovorax temperans skews neutrophil maturation and polarizes Th17 cells to promote lung adenocarcinoma development

ABSTRACT: Dysbiosis, or changes within the microbiome, is a common feature of solid tumors, however whether this dysbiosis directly contributes to tumor development is largely unknown. We previously characterized the lung cancer microbiome and identified the Gram-negative Acidovorax temperans as enriched in tumors and associated with smoking status and TP53 mutations. To determine if A. temperans exposure could contribute to the development of lung cancer, we investigated its effect in an animal model of lung adenocarcinoma driven by mutant Kras and Tp53 alleles. This revealed A. temperans exposure accelerates tumor development and burden through infiltration of proinflammatory cells in the lungs. Neutrophils exposed to A. temperans displayed a mature, pro-tumorigenic phenotype with increased cytokine signaling, with a global shift away from IL-1β signaling. Neutrophil to monocyte and macrophage signaling promoted maturation of the latter cell types which upregulated MHC II to activate CD4+ T cells. Activated T cells were then polarized to an IL-17A+ phenotype detectable in CD4+ and γδ populations. Furthermore, T17 cells shared a common gene expression profile predictive of poor survival in human LUAD cases. These data indicate a clear role for microbiota-induced inflammation as a key mechanism in the development of lung cancer, demonstrating that dysbiosis contributes to tumor growth.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is the 3rd most prevalent cause of cancer related deaths in United states alone, with over 55000 patients being diagnosed in 2019 alone and nearly as many succumbing to it. Late detection, lack of effective therapy and poor understanding of pancreatic cancer systemically contributes to its poor survival statistics. Obesity and high caloric intake linked co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been attributed as being risk factors for a number of cancers including pancreatic cancer. Studies on gut microbiome has shown that lifestyle factors as well as diet has a huge effect on the microbial flora of the gut. Further, modulation of gut microbiome has been seen to contribute to effects of intensive insulin therapy in mice on high fat diet. In another study, abnormal gut microbiota was reported to contribute to development of diabetes in Db/Db mice. Recent studies indicate that microbiome and microbial dysbiosis plays a role in not only the onset of disease but also in its outcome. In colorectal cancer, Fusobacterium has been reported to promote therapy resistance. Certain intra-tumoral bacteria have also been shown to elicit chemo-resistance by metabolizing anti-cancerous agents. In pancreatic cancer, studies on altered gut microbiome have been relatively recent. Microbial dysbiosis has been observed to be associated with pancreatic tumor progression. Modulation of microbiome has been shown to affect response to anti-PD1 therapy in this disease as well. However, most of the studies in pancreatic cancer and microbiome have remained focused om immune modulation. In the current study, we observed that in a T2D mouse model, the microbiome changed significantly as the hyperglycemia developed in these animals. Our results further showed that, tumors implanted in the T2D mice responded poorly to Gemcitabine/Paclitaxel (Gem/Pac) standard of care compared to those in the control group. A metabolomic reconstruction of the WGS of the gut microbiota further revealed that an enrichment of bacterial population involved in drug metabolism in the T2D group.
