Extracellular Matrix Viscoelasticity Promotes Liver Cancer Progression in Pre-Cirrhotic NASH

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanics contribute to cancer development, and increased stiffness is known to promote HCC progression in cirrhotic conditions. T2DM is characterized by an accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the ECM; however, how this affects HCC in non-cirrhotic conditions is unclear. Here, we find that in patients and animal models AGEs promote changes in collagen architecture and enhance ECM viscoelasticity, with greater viscous dissipation and faster stress relaxation, but not changes in stiffness. High AGEs and viscoelasticity combined with oncogenic b-catenin signaling promote HCC induction, while inhibiting AGEs production, reconstituting the clearance receptor AGER1, or breaking AGE-mediated collagen crosslinks reduce viscoelasticity and HCC growth. Matrix analysis and computational modeling demonstrate that lower interconnectivity of AGEs-bundled collagen matrix, marked by shorter fiber length and greater heterogeneity, enhance viscoelasticity. Mechanistically, animal studies and 3D cell cultures show that enhanced viscoelasticity promotes HCC cell proliferation and invasion through an integrin β1–Tensin 1–YAP mechanotransduction pathway. These results reveal for the first time that AGEs-mediated structural changes enhance ECM viscoelasticity, and that viscoelasticity can drive cancer progression in vivo, independent of stiffness.

Gene expression profiles of CD8+ T cells cultured in extracellular matrices of different viscoelasticies

Project description:The efficacy of adoptive T cell therapy is highly dependent on the generation of T cell populations that are able to both provide immediate effector function and long-term protective immunity. Inspired by the emerging consensus that T cell phenotype and function are inherently linked to their tissue localization, we present an approach to generate functionally distinct T cell populations via the physical properties of their surrounding matrix. A collagen type I based extracellular matrix (ECM) was engineered to allow for independent tuning of matrix stiffness and viscoelasticity, two features that characterize the mechanical properties of tissues. To investigate how ECM viscoelasticity drives changes in the transcriptional landscape of T cells, scRNA-seq of CD8+ T cells cultured in fast relaxing and slow relaxing collagen matrices was performed

Clonotypic analysis of T cells cultured in extracellular matrices of different viscoelasticies

A collagen type I based extracellular matrix (ECM) was engineered to allow for independent tuning of matrix stiffness and viscoelasticity, two features that characterize the mechanical properties of tissues. To assess whether phenotypic differences imparted by matrix viscoelasticity are due to the selection and persistence of specific T cell clones, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing with TCR sequencing

Gene expression profiling of metastatic lung cancer cell lines

Project description:During malignant disease progression, the extracellular matrix (ECM) of epithelial tumors accumulates inter-molecular cross-links between collagen strands; these cross-links enhance ECM stiffness and trigger tumor cell invasion and dissemination, but the mechanisms that regulate intra-tumoral collagen maturation have not been fully defined. Using a new mouse model of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma driven by mutant K-ras expression and Cdkn1a inactivation, we showed that tumor cell invasion and metastasis are driven by high expression of lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2), an enzyme that hydroxylates telomeric lysine (Lys) residues on collagen. We interbred KrasLA1 mice, which develop non-metastatic lung adenocarcinomas at 8-10 months of age because of the expression of a somatically activated K-rasG12D allele, with Cdkn1a-/- mice, which develop sarcomas and B cell lymphomas because of depletion of p21. Cohorts were generated that had neither, either, or both mutant alleles. KrasLA1 mice that were p21-deficient (KC mice) had a shorter mean time to death than did p21-replete ones. We established cell lines from the tumors, and compared cell lines from highly metastatic tumors with those from poorly metastatic tumors.

RORγ modulates the extracellular matrix to facilitate hepatocellular carcinoma growth and metastasis

Project description:Approximately 80%-90% of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) occur in a premalignant environment of fibrosis and abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM), predicting an essential role of abnormal matrix in the tumorigenesis and progress of HCC. However, the determinants of ECM in HCC are poorly defined. Here, we show that nuclear receptor RORγ is highly expressed and amplified in HCC tumors. RORγ functions as an essential activator of the matrisome program via directly driving the expression of major ECM genes in HCC cells. The elevated RORγ increased Fibronectin-1 deposition, cell-matrix adhesion, collagen production and cross-linkling, creating a favorable microenvironment to boost liver cancer metastasis. Moreover, RORγ antagonists effectively inhibit tumor growth and metastasis via ECM remodeling in multiple HCC xenografts and immune-intact models, and they effectively sensitize HCC tumors to sorafenib therapy in mice. Notably, the elevated RORγ expression is associated with ECM remodeling and metastasis in patients with HCC. Taken together, we identify RORγ as a key player in HCC progression by remodeling ECM and as an attractive therapeutic target for advanced HCC.

Collagen signaling and matrix stiffness regulate multipotencyin glandular epithelial stem cells in mice [bulk RNA-Seq]

Project description:Glandular epithelia, including mammary gland (MG) and prostate, are composed of luminal and basal cells. During embryonic development, glandular epithelia arise from multipotent stem cells (SCs) giving rise to basal and luminal cells. However, these multipotent SCs are replaced after birth by unipotent basal and unipotent luminal SCs. Different conditions, such as basal cell transplantation, luminal cell ablation, and oncogene expression, can reinduce multipotency in adult basal SC (BaSCs) of different glandular epithelia. The mechanisms regulating the reactivation of multipotency in BaSCs are incompletely understood. Here, we compared the transcriptional signature of BaSCs from MG and prostate in different conditions associated with multipotency in adult mice and uncovered that Collagen I expression was commonly upregulated across the different conditions associated with multipotency. Using MG and prostate organoids, we demonstrated that increasing collagen concentration or stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) promote BaSC multipotency. Single cell RNA-seq of MG organoids in the presence of high concentration of Collagen I or in a stiffer ECM activate a hybrid bipotent state and uncovered a gene signature and signaling pathways associated with bipotent BaSCs. Finally, we demonstrated the importance of 1integrin/FAK/AP-1 axis in the regulation of BaSC multipotency in response to Col1 signaling and ECM stiffness. Altogether our study uncovers the key role of Collagen signaling and ECM stiffness in the regulation of multipotency in glandular epithelia.

A role of DDR2 and substrate stiffness on cancer cell transcriptome and proliferation

Project description:Extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates carcinogenesis. As a major ECM component, collagen interacts with integrin and a non-typical receptor discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (DDR2), but how DDR2 regulates cancer progression is poorly understood. Apart from its signaling function, ECM provides a mechanical environment for cancer, but the impact of biomechanics on cancer remains enigmatic. Here, we performed RNA-seq of a human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. We found that DDR2 knockdown, but not increasing substrate stiffness, upregulated pro-proliferative genes and down-regulated axonogenesis genes. Surprisingly, despite no transcriptome changes, increasing of stiffness attenuates SH-SY5Y cell proliferation, an effect also observed after DDR2 knockdown. Our results indicate that two ECM effectors, DDR2 and biomechanics, could control cancer cell proliferation through different mechanisms.
