Cancer-associated fibroblasts reveal aberrant DNA methylation across different types of cancer [Array]

ABSTRACT: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are critical components of the tumor microenvironment. Several studies demonstrated molecular differences between CAFs and normal tissue-associated fibroblasts (NAFs). In this study, we isolated CAFs and NAFs from liver tumors and analyzed their DNA methylation profiles. A subset of the CAFs exhibited aberrant DNA methylation, which was also reflected on gene expression level. The DNA methylation at liver-CAF-specific CG dinucleotides (CpGs) was associated with survival in liver cancer data. An integrative analysis with public datasets of CAF versus NAF in different cancer types, including lung, prostate, esophagus, and gastric cancer, revealed overlapping epigenetic aberrations. CpGs with common aberrations in DNA methylation included cg09809672 (EDARADD), cg07134930 (HDAC4), and cg05935904 (intergenic). Aberrant DNA methylation at these sites was associated with prognosis in several cancer types. Thus, activation of CAFs by the tumor environment is associated with characteristic epigenetic modifications that could be used as biomarkers for disease stratification.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts-secreted CXCL14-regulated LINC00092 mediates ovarian cancer progression by altering glycolysis

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) constitutes a major gynecological malignancy, with a reported incidence rate of 3-12/100 000 woman annually. As early symptoms of ovarian cancer are often clinically atypical or absent, the majority of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when the five-year survival rate is extremely low. This condition underscores the urgency of early detection of these patients and establishment of new therapeutic targets for successful intervention. Considering that the predominant biological characteristic that differentiates malignant from benign tumors is the ability to metastasize, it is necessary to identify novel metastasis-related molecules for ovarian cancer. In this study, we found that CAFs could significantly increase the metastatic potential of ovarian cancer cells compared with non-cancer associated fibroblasts(NAFs), which is associated with over-expression of CXCL14 in CAFs. We examined the impact of CAF-secreted CXCL14 on the lncRNA expression profiles in ovarian cancer during metastasis. We treated A2780s ovarian cancer cell line with recombinant CXCL14 protein and control respectively and subjected them to Arraystar Human LncRNA microarray v3.0 to profile differential lncRNAs in ovarian cancer upon treatment of CXCL14

Cells Comprising the Prostate Cancer Microenvironment Lack Recurrent Clonal Somatic Genomic Aberrations

Project description:Prostate cancer-associated stroma (CAS) plays an active role in malignant transformation, tumor progression, and metastasis. Molecular analyses of CAS have demonstrated significant changes in gene expression; however, conflicting evidence exists on whether genomic alterations in benign cells comprising the tumor microenvironment (TME) underlie gene expression changes and oncogenic phenotypes. This study evaluates the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA integrity of prostate carcinoma cells, CAS, matched benign epithelium and benign epithelium-associated stroma by whole genome copy number analyses, targeted sequencing of TP53, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) of CAS revealed a copy-neutral diploid genome with only rare and small somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs). In contrast, several expected recurrent SCNAs were evident in the adjacent prostate carcinoma cells, including gains at 3q, 7p, and 8q, and losses at 8p and 10q. No somatic TP53 mutations were observed in CAS. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extracted from carcinoma cells and stroma identified 23 somatic mtDNA mutations in neoplastic epithelial cells but only one mutation in stroma. Finally, genomic analyses identified no SCNAs, no loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or copy-neutral LOH in cultured cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are known to promote prostate cancer progression in vivo. Agilent whole human genome aCGH oligonucleotide microarrays were used to assess copy number aberrations in 79 specimens from 20 patients as well as two pairs of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and benign/normal associated fibroblasts (NAF). 3 CAF/NAF sample pairs were also assessed for DNA copy number aberrations and copy-neutral LOH using the Infinium HumanOmniExpressExome BeadChip Kit.

Prognostic Gene Expression Signature of Carcinoma Associated Fibroblasts in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer [methylation profiling]

Project description:The tumor microenvironment strongly influences cancer development, progression and metastasis. The role of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in these processes and their clinical impact has not been studied systematically in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We established primary cultures of CAFs and matched normal fibroblasts (NFs) from 15 resected NSCLC. We demonstrate that CAFs have greater ability than NFs to enhance the tumorigenicity of lung cancer cell lines. Microarray gene expression analysis of the 15 matched CAF and NF cell lines identified 46 differentially expressed genes, encoding for proteins that are significantly enriched for extracellular proteins regulated by the TGF-beta signaling pathway. We have identified a subset of 11 genes that formed a prognostic gene expression signature, which was validated in multiple independent NSCLC microarray datasets. Functional annotation using protein-protein interaction analyses of these and published cancer stroma-associated gene expression changes revealed prominent involvement of the focal adhesion and MAPK signalling pathways. Fourteen (30%) of the 46 genes also were differentially expressed in laser-capture micro-dissected corresponding primary tumor stroma compared to the matched normal lung. Six of these 14 genes could be induced by TGF-beta1 in NF. The results establish the prognostic impact of CAF-associated gene expression changes in NSCLC patients. Methylation profiles of 5 pairs of were included in a molecular characterization of NSCLC fibroblast cell lines (CAFs) vs. normal lung fibroblasts (NFs). Methylation profiles of 5 paired primary NSCLC fibroblast cell lines (CAFs) and normal lung fibroblasts (NFs) were generated. Genes were determined to be hyper- and hypo-methylated based on paired analysis.

Genome wide analysis of skin cancer cell gene expresison exposed to stromal cancer associated fibroblasts in 3D gel matrix

Project description:SCC12 cells were seeded ontop of organotypic gels with HN-CAF (head and neck carcinoma associated fibroblasts). Differential gene expression was analysed between cancer cells not exposed to CAFs or non-invading cancer cells exposed to CAFs. Squamous cell cancer organotypics were constructed by embedding CAFs in collagen Matrigel matrix with SCC 12cells added on top. Gene expression was compared between non-invaded cancer cells and cancer cells not expoesd to CAFs.

Transcriptomic analysis of CAFs with silencing of ANKRD1.

Project description:Stromal cell senescence plays a crucial role in activating cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The Androgen receptor (AR) function oversees cellular senescence and CAF activation. Here, we identify the mesenchymal-specific transcriptional coregulator ANKRD1 as a key driver of CAF conversion. ANKRD1 is strongly upregulated in CAFs and under direct negative control of AR, and its loss impairs the pro-tumorigenic potential of CAFs. ANKRD1 controls a CAF-specific gene expression program and is associated with poorer survival of HNSCC, lung, and cervical SCC patients. Mechanistically, ANKRD1 binds to the chromatin on CAF gene regulatory regions in a complex with the AP1 transcription factor family. We show that ANKRD1 enhances the AP1 DNA binding activity to CAF gene promoters. Targeting ANKRD1 with the FANA antisense oligonucleotides reverts CAFs into a normal fibroblast, disrupts AP1 complex formation, and blocks CAF’s pro-tumorigenic potential in an orthotopic model of SCC, thus representing an exciting target for stroma-oriented cancer therapy.
