STAT3 labels a subpopulation of reactive astrocytes required for brain metastasis

Project description:The brain microenvironment imposes a particularly intense selective pressure on metastasis initiating cells, but successful metastasis bypass this control through mechanisms that are poorly understood. Reactive astrocytes are key components of this microenvironment, as they have been observed to confine brain metastasis without infiltrating the lesion. We describe a subpopulation of reactive astrocytes surrounding metastatic lesions that are characterized by the activation of STAT3 pathway. Blocking STAT3 signaling in this subpopulation of reactive astrocytes reduces experimental brain metastasis from different primary tumor sources, even at advanced stages of colonization. We conclude that brain metastatic cells induce and maintain the co-option of a pro-metastatic program driven by STAT3 in a subpopulation of reactive astrocytes. We also show that a safe and orally bioavailable treatment that inhibits STAT3 in patients with established brain metastasis and extracranial disease exhibits significant antitumor effects, especially in the CNS where several complete responses were achieved. Given that brain metastasis imposes significant morbidity and mortality, our experimental results suggest a novel treatment for increasing survival in patients with secondary brain tumors.

TIMP1 mediates astrocyte-dependent local immunosuppression in brain metastasis acting on infiltrating CD8+ T cells.

Project description:Immunotherapies against brain metastases have shown clinical benefits mainly when applied to locally asymptomatic patients. It is currently unclear why responses to this therapy drop in symptomatic brain metastases, since the use of corticoids is not consistently involved. We report here that a subpopulation within STAT3+ brain metastasis-associated astrocytes is responsible to block the anti-tumor activity of infiltrating CD8+ T cells. The underlying molecular crosstalk involving astrocyte-secreted TIMP1 signaling on CD63+ CD8+ T cells proves a strong immunomodulatory role of astrocytes in the context of brain metastases. By using genetic and pharmacologic approaches applied not only to mouse models, but also to alive human brain metastases we conclude that a combined immunotherapy blocking this local immunosuppressive hub could benefit patients with symptomatic brain metastases. Furthermore, the detection of TIMP1 in the CSF provides a biomarker to select patients for this therapeutic approach. Our findings uncover the importance of dissecting the heterogeneity within the microenvironment at the functional level and the emerging cellular networks to improve the efficacy of organ-specific therapies in metastasis.

Amyloid Beta Promotes Brain Metastasis

Project description:Brain metastasis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in multiple cancer types and represents an unmet clinical need. The mechanisms that mediate metastatic cancer growth in the brain parenchyma are largely unknown. Melanoma, which has the highest rate of brain metastasis among common cancer types, is an ideal model to study how cancer cells adapt to the brain parenchyma. We utilized pairs of brain metastasis-derived (BM) and non-brain metastasis-derived (NBM) melanoma short term cultures (STCs) obtained from the same patient. We performed TMT based multiplexed analysis of these cell lines using off-line fractionation to increase our proteomics coverage. Our unbiased proteomics analysis of these melanoma short-term cultures revealed that proteins implicated in neurodegenerative pathologies are differentially expressed in melanoma cells explanted from brain metastases compared to those derived from extracranial metastases. We showed that melanoma cells require amyloid beta for growth and survival in the brain parenchyma. Melanoma-secreted A beta activates surrounding astrocytes to a pro-metastatic, anti-inflammatory phenotype and prevents phagocytosis of melanoma by microglia. Finally, we demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of Abeta decreases brain metastatic burden.

Type I Interferon Response in Astrocytes Promotes Brain Metastasis by Enhancing Monocytic Myeloid Cell Recruitment

Project description:Cancer metastasis to the brain is a significant clinical problem. Metastasis is the consequence of favorable interactions between invaded cancer cells and the microenvironment. Here, we demonstrate that cancer-activated astrocytes create a sustained low-level activated type I interferon (IFN) microenvironment in brain metastatic lesions. We further confirm that the IFN response in astrocytes facilitate brain metastasis. Mechanistically, IFN signaling in astrocytes activates C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2) production, which further increases the recruitment of monocytic myeloid cells. The correlation between CCL2 and monocytic myeloid cells is confirmed in clinical brain metastasis samples. Lastly, genetically or pharmacologically inhibiting C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) significantly reduces brain metastases. Our study clarifies a pro-metastatic effect of type I IFN in the brain even though IFN response has been considered to have anti-tumor effects. Moreover, this work expands our understandings on the interactions between cancer-activated astrocytes and immune cells in brain metastasis.

Elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying brain metastasis-promoting function of Cdk5

Project description:To elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying brain metastasis-promoting function of Cdk5, two analyses were performed. In the first analysis, we screened for Cdk5 substrates in brain-seeking breast cancer cell lines 4T1.Br3 and T11.Br1, transfected with shRNA targeting Cdk5 mRNA (100% knockdown) or control. T11.Br1 and 4T1.Br3 cells (shCDK5 or shCtl) were cultured for 6 days in the presence of labelled arginine and lysine from the SILAC Protein Quantitation Kit. For the second analysis, we performed a quantitative label-free mass-spectrometry analysis of astrocytes’ conditioned media pre-educated by 4T1.Br3 cell-derived CM for 72 h. For the second analysis, we performed a quantitative label-free mass-spectrometry analysis of astrocytes’ conditioned media pre-educated by 4T1.Br3 cell-derived CM for 72 h.
