Spatial profiling of a unique cancer-associated fibroblast population in the tumor microenvironment in sporadic early-onset colon cancer [eocc_pip]

ABSTRACT: The incidence of sporadic early-onset colon cancer (EOCC) has increased worldwide. The molecular mechanisms in the tumor and the tumor microenvironment in EOCC are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to unravel unique spatial transcriptomic and proteomic profiles in tumor epithelial cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Sporadic colon cancer FFPE tissue samples were divided into patients diagnosed with EOCC (<50 yrs) and late-onset colon cancer (LOCC, ≥50 yrs). A total of 13 LOCC and 13 EOCC patients that were analyzed using HTG EdgeSeq Precision Immuno-Oncology Panel. The data generated was combined with in silico analysis and functional assays to characterize FAP(+) CAFs at the EOCC tumor invasive margin.

Sporadic colon cancer FFPE tissue samples were divided into patients diagnosed with EOCC (<50 yrs) and late-onset colon cancer (LOCC, ≥50 yrs). Spatial transcriptomic analysis of 112 areas of interest (AOIs) were performed using Nanostring GeoMx digital spatial profiling. The data generated was combined with in silico analysis and functional assays to characterize FAP(+) CAFs at the EOCC tumor invasive margin.

Differential clinicopathological and molecular features within late-onset colorectal cancer according to tumor location

Project description:Background: Since there is a predilection of some clinical and molecular features for a given tumor location, we assessed whether this can be confirmed in late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC). Methods: We analyzed clinical and molecular characteristics of LOCRC at different tumor locations in order to determine if there are differential phenotypes related with the location in the colon. Results: Right colon cancers showed features associated with sporadic Microsatellite Instability: predominance of female cases and BRAF mutations, and an important mucinous component. Left colon cancers developed a higher number of polyps and multiple primary CRCs, showed the strongest familial component, and had better prognosis. Rectal cancers showed a predominantly sporadic phenotype, with worse prognosis and a CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP)-High. No copy number alterations (CNAs) greater than or equal to 50% were observed in this LOCRC group, and the most recurrent alterations were losses at 5q13 and 14q11, and gains at 7q11, 7q21-q22, 19p13-p12, 19q13 and 20p11-q11. KRAS and PIK3CA were the only mutated genes showing differences according to the tumor location, mainly for right colon cancers. Conclusions: Categorizing LOCRC according to tumor location appears to be an adequate first step to resolving the heterogeneity of this subset of CRC.

Functional heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts from human colon tumors shows specific prognostic gene expression signature

Project description:Tumor growth and metastasis is controlled by paracrine signaling between cells of the tumor microenvironment and malignant cells. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), are functionally important components of the tumor microenvironment. Although some steps involved in the cross-talk between these cells are known, there is still a lot that is not clear. Thus, the addition of, the consideration of microenvironment in the development of the disease, to the clinical and pathological procedures (currently admitted as the consistent value cancer treatments) could lay the foundations for the development of new treatment strategies to control the disease. Primary CAF cultures from 15 primary human colon tumors were established Their purity was evaluated by the expression of various epithelial and myofibroblast specific markers Co-culture assays of primary CAFs with different colon tumor cells were performed to evaluate pro-migratory CAF-derived effects on cancer cells CAF gene expression profiles were analyzed by microarray to identify deregulated genes in different pro-migratory CAFs

Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts stimulate cancer cell invasion by mechanically remodeling the basement membrane

Project description:The first step in metastasis is dissemination of tumor cells into the surrounding tissue, or stroma. In carcinomas, cancers of epithelial origin, tumor cells must first breach the basement membrane (BM), a network that encapsulates the tumor. As tumor progresses, other cell types that reside in the stroma, such as carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) accumulate around the tumor. Whether CAFs can help cancer cells to breach the BM remains an open question. Here we show that CAFs promote cancer cell invasion by physically remodeling the BM. Using a novel 3D in vitro model we observed that primary CAFs isolated from colon cancer patients stimulate cancer cell invasion through a native mesenteric BM. This stimulated invasion is the result of the physical presence of CAFs rather than an increased invasive potential of cancer cells. In the presence of CAFs, cancer cells can invade the BM in a matrix metalloproteinase-independent manner. Using live imaging, we found that CAFs actively pull and stretch the BM, leading to the formation of gaps through which cancer cells can migrate. Notably, CAF-mediated gap-widening is independent of proteolysis but relies on actomyosin contractility. We propose that CAFs exert mechanical forces that alter the organization and the physical properties of the BM, making it permissive for cancer cell invasion.

FXR activation inhibits CAF tumor-promoting features

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the principal components of tumor microenvironment, play multiple roles in breast cancer onset and progression. While their impact is widely accepted, treatment options to target CAFs in clinical practice were not yet well established. The nuclear receptor superfamily encompasses a druggable class of molecules, expressed in various stroma and parenchymal cell types, with the interesting therapeutic potential to modulate the reactive microenvironment. Having already addressed the oncosuppressive role of the nuclear Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) in mammary epithelial cancer cells, the present study is aimed to assess the function of FXR in CAFs and evaluate whether its activation may affect their tumor-promoting features.

RNA-seq analysis of colon tumors collected from St2-/- and WT reciprocal bone marrow chimeric mice treated with azoxymethane.

Project description:Interleukin 33 (IL33) is an inflammatory cytokine released during necrotic cell death. The epithelium and stroma of the intestine express large amounts of IL33 and its receptor St2. IL33 is therefore continuously released during homeostatic turnover of the intestinal mucosa. Although IL33 can prevent colon cancer associated with inflammatory colitis, the contribution of IL33 signaling to sporadic colon cancer remains unknown. Here, we utilized a mouse model of sporadic colon cancer to investigate the contribution of IL33 signaling to tumorigenesis in the absence of pre-existing inflammation. We demonstrated that genetic ablation of St2 enhanced colon tumor development. In reciprocal bone marrow (BM) chimeras, the concurrent loss of IL33 signaling within radioresistant nonhematopoietic, and the radiosensitive hematopoietic, compartments was associated with increased tumor burden. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underpinning the tumor-suppressing effect of IL33 signaling in sporadic colon cancer, we performed whole transcriptome analysis of tumors collected from each of the four cohorts of the 6xAOM-treated BM chimeras. We discovered that St2 deficiency within the nonhematopoietic compartment coincided with suppression of an IFN gene expression signature. The decrease of this IFN gene expression signature was associated with more aggressive disease in human colon cancer patients, suggesting that lack of IL33 signaling impaired the generation of a potent IFN-mediated antitumor immune response. Collectively, our data reveal that IL33 functions as a tumor suppressor in sporadic colon cancer.
