Spatial transcriptomics analysis identifies a unique tumor-promoting function of the meningeal stroma in melanoma leptomeningeal disease.

ABSTRACT: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) remains a rapidly lethal complication for late-stage melanoma patients. The inaccessible nature of the disease site and lack of understanding of the biology of this unique metastatic site are major barriers to developing efficacious therapies for patients with melanoma LMD. This study aims to characterize the tumor microenvironment of the leptomeningeal tissues and patient-matched extra-cranial metastatic sites using spatial transcriptomic analyses.

Spatial transcriptomics analysis identifies a tumor-promoting function of the meningeal stroma in melanoma leptomeningeal disease.

Project description:Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) remains a rapidly lethal complication for late-stage melanoma patients. Here, we characterize the tumor microenvironment of LMD and patient-matched extra-cranial metastases using spatial transcriptomics in a small number of clinical specimens (nine tissues from two patients) with extensive in vitro and in vivo validation. The spatial landscape of melanoma LMD is characterized by a lack of immune infiltration and instead exhibits a higher level of stromal involvement. The tumor-stroma interactions at the leptomeninges activate tumor-promoting signaling, mediated through upregulation of SERPINA3. The meningeal stroma is required for melanoma cells to survive in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and promotes MAPK inhibitor resistance. Knocking down SERPINA3 or inhibiting the downstream IGR1R/PI3K/AKT axis results in tumor cell death and re-sensitization to MAPK-targeting therapy. Our data provide a spatial atlas of melanoma LMD, identify the tumor-promoting role of meningeal stroma, and demonstrate a mechanism for overcoming microenvironment-mediated drug resistance in LMD.

Transcriptome of mouse leptomeningeal fibroblats

Project description:Meninges, or the membranous coverings of the brain and spinal cord, play host to dozens of morbid pathologies. In this study we provide a method to isolate the leptomeningeal cell layer, identify leptomeninges in histologic slides, and maintain leptomeningeal fibroblasts in in vitro culture. Using an array of transcriptomic, histological, and cytometric analyses, we identified ICAM1 and SLC38A2 as two novel markers of leptomeningeal cells in vivo and in vitro. Our results confirm the fibroblastoid nature of leptomeningeal cells and their ability to form a sheet-like layer that covers the brain and spine parenchyma. These findings will enable researchers in central nervous system barriers to describe leptomeningeal cell functions in health and disease.

Gene expression analysis of HER2+ breast leptomeningeal carcinomatosis

Project description:Patient-derived primary HER2+ Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (Lepto) cell lines were established. RNA-seq in various breast cancer cell lines were conducted to characterize the established cell lines. Gene expression analysis clearly indicated thatt Lepto cell lines are transcriptionally different from HER2 positive and negative metastatic breast cancer cell lines such as BT474 and MDA-MB-231 cells.

Single-cell atlas of mouse leptomeningeal immune cells

Project description:Metastasis to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled leptomeninges, or leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), represents a fatal complication of cancer. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of human CSF reveal a substantial inflammatory infiltrate in LM. We find the solute and immune composition of CSF in the setting of LM changes dramatically, with notable enrichment in IFN-gamma signaling. To investigate the mechanistic relationships between immune cell signaling and cancer cells within the leptomeninges, we developed syngeneic lung, breast, and melanoma LM mouse models. We find that transgenic host mice, lacking IFN-gamma or its receptor, fail to control LM growth. Overexpression of Ifng through a targeted AAV system controls cancer cell growth independent of adaptive immunity. Instead, leptomeningeal IFN-gamma actively recruits and activates peripheral myeloid cells, generating a diverse spectrum of dendritic cell subsets. These migratory, CCR7+ dendritic cells orchestrate the influx, proliferation, and cytotoxic action of natural killer cells to control cancer cell growth in the leptomeninges. This work uncovers leptomeningeal-specific IFN-gamma signaling and suggests a novel immune-therapeutic approach against tumors within this space.

Chromatin accessibility profiling of freshly isolated mouse lung cancer LLC- and breast cancer 4T1- derived leptomeningeal metastatic cancer cells from different anatomical locations [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Cancer cells metastatic to the leptomeninges encounter a metabolically-challenging extreme microenvironment. To understand adaptations to this space, we subjected leptomeningeal-metastatic (LeptoM) mouse breast and lung cancers isolated from either the leptomeninges or orthotopic primary sites to ATAC- and RNA-sequencing. When inhabiting the leptomeninges, the LeptoM cells demonstrated transcription downstream of retinoid-X-receptors (RXRs). We found evidence of local retinoic acid (RA) generation in both human leptomeningeal metastasis and mouse models in the form of elevated spinal fluid retinol and expression of RA-generating dehydrogenases within the leptomeningeal microenvironment. Stimulating LeptoM cells with 9-cis RA induced expression of transcripts encoding de novo fatty acid synthesis pathway enzymes in vitro. In vivo, whereas knockout of Stra6 did not alter cancer cell leptomeningeal growth, knockout of Rxra/b/g interrupted cancer cell lipid biosynthesis and arrested cancer growth. These observations illustrate a mechanism whereby locally-generated developmental cues metabolically reprogram metastatic cancer cells and suggest novel therapeutic approaches.

Genes that mediate leptomeningeal metastasis from breast and lung solid tumor primaries

Project description:Little is understood about the gene expression changes that underlie cancer spread to the cerebrospinal fluid, or leptomeningeal metastasis. Using four cancer cell line models, we empolyed iterative in vivo selection to generate subpopulations of these cell lines able to access the leptomeningeal space and grow once there. We compared the gene expression profile of the terminally selected cells or "Lep" cells with that of the parental or "Par" cells, as well as that of an intermediate stage of in vivo selection or "Int" cells. Analyses for brain parenchymal metastatic derivatives or "BrM" cells were included for comparison.
