Telomeric Chromosomal Instability Fosters Paracrine Mediated Cell Competition to Initiate Intestinal Cancer (WGS)

ABSTRACT: Telomere dysfunction drives chromosomal instability (CIN) during the transition from benign adenoma to malignant adenocarcinoma. While CIN provides a mutator mechanism for cancer- relevant genomic events, its role in shaping tumor biology during carcinogenesis is not well understood. Here, we explored the molecular and biological impact of telomere dysfunction and associated CIN in vivo in a faithful model of CRC. In vivo lineage tracing revealed that CIN increased the rate of neoplastic cell clonal expansion through accelerated differentiation of neighboring stem cells, resulting in increased number of adenomas and decreased survival in CIN-high Apcmin mice. Mechanistically, CIN represses EZH2 leading to upregulation of secreted Wnt antagonists, which resulted in a growth advantage to CIN-high neoplastic cells. Correspondingly, pharmacological activation of intrinsic WNT signaling enhanced intestinal stem cells fitness, leading to reduced neoplastic cell clonal expansion and adenoma burden. Thus, the CIN-EZH2-WNT axis enhances intestinal cancer initiation in the nascent tumor microenvironment, providing a preventive strategy for patients harboring germline APC mutations.

Crypt density and recruited enhancers underlie intestinal tumour initiation [Bisulfite-seq]

Project description:Oncogenic mutations that drive colorectal cancer can be present in healthy intestines for long periods without overt consequence. Mutation of Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc), the most common initiating event in conventional adenomas, activates Wnt signaling, hence conferring fitness on mutant intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Apc mutations may occur in ISCs that arose by routine self-renewal or by dedifferentiation of their progeny. Although ISCs of these different origins are fundamentally similar, it is unclear if both generate tumours equally well in uninjured intestines. Also unknown is whether cis-regulatory elements are substantively modulated upon Wnt hyperactivation or as a feature of subsequent tumours. Here, we show in two mouse models that adenomas are not an obligatory outcome of Apc deletion in either ISC source but require proximity of mutant intestinal crypts. Reduced crypt density abrogates, and aggregation of mutant colonic crypts augments, adenoma formation. Moreover, adenoma-resident ISCs open chromatin at thousands of enhancers that are inaccessible in Apc-null ISCs not associated with adenomas. These cis-elements explain adenoma-selective gene activity and persist, with little further expansion of the repertoire, as other oncogenic mutations accumulate. Thus, cooperativity between neighbouring mutant crypts and new accessibility at specific enhancers are key steps early in intestinal tumourigenesis.

Single cell changes in AAV-Ctrl or AAV-RSPO1-Fc treated intestinal adenoma cells from ApcMin/+ mice

Project description:We constructed AAV-vectors for systemic expression of a soluble RSPO1 protein in ApcMin/+ mice. We found that the RSPO1-Fc fusion protein suppresses the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling activity in intestinal adenomas and in adenoma-derived intestinal organoids ex vivo, but not in normal intestinal epithelial cells. In the Apc mutant cells, the RSPO1-Fc fusion protein activated the TGFß/SMAD signaling pathway to suppress several Wnt target genes and adenoma growth, which effect was rescued suppressed by the TGFß receptor kinase inhibitor SB-431542. Simultaneously, RSPO1-Fc induced proliferation of the normal intestinal stem cells, giving them a growth advantage over the mutant cells, which enabled the intestinal epithelium to eventually outgrow the adenoma cells. Prolonged systemic expression of AAV-RSPO1-Fc decreased significantly the number of the intestinal adenomas and improved the overall survival of ApcMin/+ mice. Thus RSPO1-Fc provides the normal intestinal epithelial cells a growth advantage when compared to the adenoma cells, which eventually leads to the extrusion of the adenomatous tissue. An attractive idea now is to exploit such differential response of normal vs. cancer cells in cancer therapy.

Analyzing the effect of Lef1 deletion in mouse intestinal adenoma cells with single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:Somatic mutations in APC or CTNNB1 genes lead to aberrant Wnt signaling and colorectal cancer (CRC) initiation and progression. Activation of Wnt pathway leads to the formation of beta-catenin-T-cell factor/Lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (Tcf/Lef1) complexes that activate transcription of oncogenic target genes. Lef1 is the only member of the Tcf gene family that is not expressed in the normal intestine, but is induced during intestinal tumorigenesis. Thus, we wanted to assess the role of Lef1 using genetic mouse models of intestinal adenomas and scRNA-seq technology. Tumorigenesis was initiated by inducing Apc mutation in Lgr5+ stem cells. Intestinal EpCAM+ epithelial cells of Lgr5-CreERT;Apc fl/fl (LApc) mouse and Lgr5-CreERT;Apc fl/fl; Lef1 fl/fl (LApcL) mouse were used to analyze the effects of Lef1 deletion in intestinal adenoma cells. We used WT mice as a control to distinguish adenoma cells.
