Single-cell transcriptional profiling of clear cell renal cell carcinoma reveals a tumor-associated endothelial tip cell phenotype

ABSTRACT: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most prevalent form of renal cancer, accounting for over 75% of cases. The asymptomatic nature of the disease contributes to late-stage diagnoses and poor survival. Highly vascularized and immune infiltrated microenvironment are prominent features of ccRCC, yet the interplay between vasculature and immune cells, disease progression and response to therapy remains poorly understood. Using droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing we profiled 50,236 transcriptomes from paired tumor and healthy adjacent kidney tissues. Our analysis revealed significant heterogeneity and inter-patient variability of the tumor microenvironment. Notably, we discovered a previously uncharacterized vasculature subpopulation associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The cell-cell communication analysis revealed multiple modes of immunosuppressive interactions within the tumor microenvironment, including clinically relevant interactions between tumor vasculature and stromal cells with immune cells. The upregulation of the genes involved in these interactions was associated with worse survival in the TCGA KIRC cohort. Our findings demonstrate the role of tumor vasculature and stromal cell populations in shaping the ccRCC microenvironment and uncover a subpopulation of cells within the tumor vasculature that is associated with an invasive phenotype.

A transcriptional metastatic signature predicts survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Novel single cell technologies have paved the way for the characterization and improved biological understanding of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) where the focus has been mostly on the immunological compartments of the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the identification of metastatic tumor cell clones, and the stromal compartments of TME of untreated ccRCC patients still remains to be elucidated. Here we perform single-cell RNA-sequencing on treatment naive ccRCC and adjacent normal kidney tissue.

Large-scale analysis of cell-cell communication reveals angiogenin-dependent tumor progression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Cellular crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is still largely uncharacterized, while it plays an essential role in shaping immunosuppression or anti-tumor response. Large-scale analyses are needed to better decipher cell-cell communication in cancer. In this work, we used original and publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data to characterize in-depth the communication networks in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We identified 50 putative communication channels specifically used by cancer cells to interact with other cells, including two novel angiogenin-mediated interactions. Expression of angiogenin and its receptors was validated at the protein level in primary ccRCC. Mechanistically, angiogenin enhanced ccRCC cell line proliferation and down-regulated secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 proinflammatory molecules. This study provides novel biological insights into molecular mechanisms of ccRCC, and suggests angiogenin and its receptors as potential therapeutic targets in clear cell renal cancer.

Hif1α-Dependent Uncoupling Of Glycolysis Suppresses Tumor Cell Proliferation

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) attenuates mitochondrial activity while promoting glycolysis. Paradoxically, it remains unknown why lower glycolysis is compromised in human clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC), in which HIF1α acts a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cell autonomous proliferation. Here we found that unexpectedly, HIF1α suppresses lower glycolysis after the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) step, leading to reduced lactate secretion in different tumor cell types when cells encounter a limited pyruvate supply such as that typically found in the tumor microenvironment in vivo. This is because HIF1α-dependent attenuation of mitochondrial oxygen consumption increases the NADH/NAD+ ratio that suppresses the activity of NADH-sensitive GAPDH glycolytic enzyme. This is manifested when pyruvate supply is limited since pyruvate acts as an electron acceptor that prevents the increment of the NADH/NAD+ ratio. Furthermore, this anti-glycolytic function provides a molecular basis to explain how HIF1α can suppress tumor cell proliferation by increasing the NADH/NAD+ ratio.

Molecular Profiling Reveals Immunosuppressive Tumor Immune Microenvironment in Primary versus Paired Asynchronous Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly immune infiltrated cancer, but how the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) evolves during disease progression is unknown. Insights into heterogeneity within primary ccRCC raise questions about potential heterogeneity between primary and paired metastatic tumors. This information may improve understanding of immune evasion leading to metastatic disease and response to immunotherapy. In this study, we characterize and compare the TIME of primary ccRCC with paired asynchronous metastases. We demonstrate higher infiltration of immunosuppressive cells in the TIME of primary ccRCC compared with metastatic sites. Further studies are necessary to determine the prognostic and therapeutic significance of these findings. Understanding the heterogeneity of the tumor immune microenvironment in RCC, both intratumorally and between metastatic sites, has important clinical implications for selecting appropriate therapies and developing predictive biomarkers. Future research should focus on elucidating the impact of these findings on immunotherapeutic responses and patient outcomes in ccRCC.

Leptin as a Mediator of Tumor-Stromal Interactions Promotes Breast Cancer Stem Cell Activity

Project description:Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) play crucial roles in tumor initiation, metastasis and resistance to anticancer therapies. These cells rely for their properties on complex interactions with the tumor microenvironment through networks of cytokines and growth factors. In this study, we investigated how leptin, as a mediator of tumor-stromal interactions, may affect BCSC activity using breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived samples. Microarray analyses revealed a similar expression profile of genes involved in stem cell biology in mammosphere cells treated with stromal cell-CM and leptin.

Quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis uncovers CDK1- and PAK2-mediated malignant signaling pathways in clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) is among the 10 most common cancers and causes more than 140,000 deaths worldwide every year. In order to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms orchestrated by phosphorylation modifications, we performed a comprehensive quantitative phosphoproteomics characterization of ccRCC tumor and normal adjacent tissues. Here, we identified 16,253 phosphopeptides, of which more than 9,000 were quantified. Our in-depth analysis revealed 1,336 phosphopeptides to be differentially regulated between tumor and normal tissues. Moreover, our data reveals that significantly up-regulated phosphoproteins are associated with cytoskeletal re-organization which suggests migratory and invasive behavior of renal tumors. This is supported by a pronounced mesenchymal profile of ccRCC phosphorylation events. Our rigorous characterization of the renal phosphoproteome also revealed that both EGFR and VEGFR are the most important mediators of phospho signaling in RCC pathogenesis. Furthermore, we determined the kinases PAK2, CDK1, Erk1 and Erk2 to be master kinases that are responsible for phosphorylations of many substrates associated with cell proliferation, inflammation and migration. These master kinases are targetable by inhibitory FDA-approved drugs such as fostamatinib and minocycline, which can serve as novel therapeutic agents for ccRCC treatment.

Mesenchymal-like tumor cells and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts are associated with progression and immunotherapy response of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma [spatial transcriptomics]

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent the cornerstone for treatment of patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Despite a favorable response for a subset of patients, others experience primary progressive disease highlighting the need to precisely understand plasticity of cancer cells and their crosstalk with the microenvironment to better predict therapeutic response and personalize treatment. Single-cell RNA sequencing of ccRCC at different disease stages and normal adjacent tissue (NAT) from patients identified 46 cell populations, including 5 tumor subpopulations, characterized by distinct transcriptional signatures representing an epithelial to mesenchymal transition gradient and a novel inflamed state. Deconvolution of the tumor and microenvironment signatures in public datasets and in data from the BIONIKK clinical trial (NCT02960906) revealed a strong correlation between mesenchymal-like ccRCC cells and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts (myCAFs), which are both enriched in metastases and correlate with poor patient survival. Spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immune staining uncovered spatial proximity of mesenchymal-like ccRCC cells and myCAFs at the tumor-NAT interface. Moreover, enrichment in myCAFs was associated with primary resistance to ICI therapy in the BIONIKK clinical trial. This data highlights the epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity of ccRCC cancer cells and their relationship with myCAFs, a critical component of the microenvironment associated with poor outcome and ICI resistance.
