Transcriptomic analysis of CAFs with silencing of ANKRD1.

ABSTRACT: Stromal cell senescence plays a crucial role in activating cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The Androgen receptor (AR) function oversees cellular senescence and CAF activation. Here, we identify the mesenchymal-specific transcriptional coregulator ANKRD1 as a key driver of CAF conversion. ANKRD1 is strongly upregulated in CAFs and under direct negative control of AR, and its loss impairs the pro-tumorigenic potential of CAFs. ANKRD1 controls a CAF-specific gene expression program and is associated with poorer survival of HNSCC, lung, and cervical SCC patients. Mechanistically, ANKRD1 binds to the chromatin on CAF gene regulatory regions in a complex with the AP1 transcription factor family. We show that ANKRD1 enhances the AP1 DNA binding activity to CAF gene promoters. Targeting ANKRD1 with the FANA antisense oligonucleotides reverts CAFs into a normal fibroblast, disrupts AP1 complex formation, and blocks CAF’s pro-tumorigenic potential in an orthotopic model of SCC, thus representing an exciting target for stroma-oriented cancer therapy.

Androgen receptor functions as transcriptional repressor of Cancer Associated Fibroblast (CAF) activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The age-associated increase of cancer risk has been linked with stromal fibroblast senescence and early steps of Cancer Associated Fibroblast (CAF) activation. Surprisingly little is known about the role of androgen receptor (AR) signalling in this context. We show that AR expression is down-modulated in stromal fibroblasts underlying premalignant skin cancer lesions (actinic keratoses, AK) as well as in CAFs from the three major skin cancer types, squamous (SCC) and basal cell (BCC) carcinomas and melanomas. Decreased AR expression is linked to the concomitant down-modulation of CSL, key effector of canonical Notch signalling and global modulator of chromatin configuration, and it can be counteracted by treatment with BET inhibitors, which reverse CAF activation. Functionally, AR gene silencing in dermal fibroblasts results in p53-dependent senescence and induction of key CAF-effector genes, with AR physically converging with CSL in negative control of these genes. The findings are of functional significance as, in an orthotopic model of skin cancer, dermal fibroblasts with AR loss enhance significantly tumorigenicity of SCC and melanoma cells. As such, the findings establish AR as a novel potential target for stroma-focused cancer prevention and treatment.

Nuclear lamin A/C phosphorylation by loss of Androgen Receptor is a global determinant of cancer-associated fibroblast activation

Project description:Alterations of nuclear structure and function, and associated impact on gene transcription, are a hallmark of cancer cells. Little is known of these alterations in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), a key component of the tumor stroma. Here we show that loss of androgen receptor (AR), which triggers early steps of CAF activation in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), leads to nuclear membrane alterations and increased micronuclei formation, which are unlinked from induction of cellular senescence. Similar alterations occur in fully established CAFs, which are overcome by restored AR function. AR associates with nuclear lamin A/C and loss of AR results in a substantially increased lamin A/C nucleoplasmic redistribution. Mechanistically, AR functions as a bridge between lamin A/C with the protein phosphatase PPP1. In parallel with a decreased lamin-PPP1 association, AR loss results in a marked increase of lamin A/C phosphorylation at Ser 301, which is also a feature of CAFs. Phosphorylated lamin A/C at Ser 301 binds to the transcription promoter regulatory region of several CAF effector genes, which are upregulated due to the loss of AR. More directly, expression of a lamin A/C Ser301 phosphomimetic mutant alone is sufficient to convert normal fibroblasts into tumor-promoting CAFs of the myofibroblast subtype, without an impact on senescence. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the AR-lamin A/C-PPP1 axis and lamin A/C phosphorylation at Ser 301 in driving CAF activation.

ANKRD1 promotes cell migration by suppressing ELN production during early senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence is a complex biological process that contributes to wound healing, carcinogenesis, and age-related disease. Although the molecular mechanisms whereby senescence promotes wound repair are not well understood, the protein ANKRD1, which promoted wound healing in mice, was found to increase in senescent cells. We hypothesized that ANKRD1 may play a role in senescence-mediated wound healing. Conditioned medium (CM) from senescent WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts hastened cell migration of human HaCaT keratinocytes. Interestingly, silencing ANKRD1 in WI-38 cells reduced the effect of CM on cell migration, while overexpressing ANKRD1 accelerated it. Further proteomic analysis revealed that ANKRD1 associates with YBOX1, a multifunctional protein that modulates transcription of the ELN gene and reduces ELN mRNA production. The product of the ELN gene, the protein ELN or tropoelastin (a subunit of elastin), is a secreted factor that reduces motility. Thus, we propose that a rise in ANKRD1 during early senescence transiently limits the YBOX1-dependent transcriptional increase in ELN production, and thereby enables cell motility in early phases of senescence.

Project description:Alterations of nuclear structure and function, and associated impact on gene transcription, are a hallmark of cancer cells. Little is known of these alterations in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), a key component of the tumor stroma. Here we show that loss of androgen receptor (AR), which triggers early steps of CAF activation in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), leads to nuclear membrane alterations with increased micronuclei formation and frequent ruptures, with similar alterations occurring in fully established CAFs. AR associates with nuclear lamin A/C and loss of AR results in a substantially increased lamin A/C nucleoplasmic redistribution. Mechanistically, AR functions as a bridge between lamin A/C with the protein phosphatase PPP1. In parallel with a decreased lamin-PPP1 association, AR loss results in a marked increase of lamin A/C phosphorylation at Ser 301, which is also a feature of CAFs. Phospho-Ser301 Lamin A/C binds to the transcription promoter regulatory region of multiple CAF marker genes upregulated by AR loss, and expression of a lamin A/CSer301 phosphomimetic mutant is sufficient for conversion of normal fibroblasts into tumor-promoting CAFs. The findings point to an AR - lamin A/C - PPP1 axis and lamin A/C phosphorylation at ser 301 as critical determinants of CAF activation.

Senescent cancer-associated fibroblasts in pancreatic adenocarcinoma impair CD8+ T cell activation and limit responsiveness to immunotherapy in mice

Project description:Senescent cells within tumors and their stroma exert complex pro- and anti-tumorigenic functions, yet the potential for targeting such senescent cells for improved therapy remains largely unknown. Here, we uncover the presence of a senescent subset of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and in premalignant lesions in mice and humans. Senescent CAFs represented different previously-defined CAF subtypes. Senescent CAFs isolated from mouse and humans expressed elevated levels of immunoregulatory genes. Depletion of senescent CAFs, either genetically or using the Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199 (venetoclax), increased the proportion of activated CD8+ T cells in mouse pancreatic carcinomas, whereas induction of CAF senescence had the opposite effect. Combining ABT-199 with an immune checkpoint therapy regimen significantly reduced mouse tumor burden. These results indicate that senescent CAFs in PDAC stroma limit the numbers of activated cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, and suggest that their targeted elimination through senolytic treatment may enhance immunotherapy.

Genome wide analysis of skin cancer cell gene expresison exposed to stromal cancer associated fibroblasts in 3D gel matrix

Project description:SCC12 cells were seeded ontop of organotypic gels with HN-CAF (head and neck carcinoma associated fibroblasts). Differential gene expression was analysed between cancer cells not exposed to CAFs or non-invading cancer cells exposed to CAFs. Squamous cell cancer organotypics were constructed by embedding CAFs in collagen Matrigel matrix with SCC 12cells added on top. Gene expression was compared between non-invaded cancer cells and cancer cells not expoesd to CAFs.
