Expression data from patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoids with gene engineering

ABSTRACT: Lineage plasticity often emerges in human cancer along with clinical progression and exposure to chemotherapy. Although lineage transition is evident in an aggressive subtype of human pancreatic cancer characterized by the loss of the ductal identity and manifestation of squamous cell-like features, the drivers of these processes have remained elusive. We here harmonized organoid technology, molecular profiling and gene engineering and found that the H3K27me3-mediated erasure of the ductal identity and lineage specifiers, and hijacking of the TP63-driven squamous-cell program provide environmental fitness. Induction and fixation of the squamous-cell identity was dependent on Wnt-deficient environment, whereas KDM6A loss or a hypoxic niche licensed tumor cells for squamous reprogramming. EZH2 inhibition counterbalanced the epigenetic bias and curbed the growth of pancreatic cancer organoids with squamous features. Our results demonstrate how adversarial microenvironment dictates the molecular and histological evolution of human pancreatic cancer, and provide insights into the principles and significance of lineage conversion in human cancer. We used microarray gene expression analysis to study the effect of delta-Np63 overexpression and TP63 knockout in patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoids or genetically engineered organoids.

Squamous trans-differentiation of pancreatic cancer cells promotes stromal inflammation (RNA-seq)

Project description:A highly aggressive subset of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas undergo trans-differentiation into the squamous lineage during disease progression. While the tumorigenic consequences of this aberrant cell fate transition are poorly understood, recent studies have identified a role for the master regulator TP63 in this process. Here, we investigated whether squamous trans- differentiation of pancreatic cancer cells can influence the phenotype of non-neoplastic cells in the tumor microenvironment. Conditioned media experiments revealed that squamous-subtype pancreatic cancer cells secrete factors that convert quiescent pancreatic stellate cells into a specialized subtype of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that express inflammatory genes at high levels. We use gain- and loss-of-function approaches in vivo to show that squamous-subtype pancreatic tumor models become enriched with inflammatory CAFs and neutrophils in a TP63- dependent manner. These non cell-autonomous effects occur, at least in part, through TP63- mediated activation of enhancers at pro-inflammatory cytokine loci, which includes IL1A as a key target. Taken together, our findings reveal enhanced tissue inflammation as a consequence of squamous trans-differentiation in pancreatic cancer, thus highlighting an instructive role of tumor cell lineage in reprogramming the stromal microenvironment.

TP63-mediated enhancer reprogramming drives the squamous subtype of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:The aberrant expression of squamous lineage markers in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been correlated with poor clinical outcomes. However, the functional role of this putative trans-differentiation event in PDA pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we show that expression of the transcription factor TP63 (ΔN isoform) is sufficient to install and sustain the enhancer landscape and transcriptional signature of the squamous lineage in human PDA cells. In addition, we demonstrate that TP63-driven enhancer reprogramming promotes aggressive tumor phenotypes, including enhanced cell motility and invasion and an accelerated growth of primary PDA tumors and metastases in vivo. Conversely, we provide evidence that squamous PDA remains addicted to TP63 to sustain the growth of primary tumors and metastases. Taken together, our study validates the functional significance of squamous trans-differentiation in PDA, and reveals TP63-based reprogramming of PDA cells as an experimental tool for investigating vulnerabilities linked to this cell fate transition.

Human stem cell-derived pancreatic acini-like and duct-like organoids demonstrate lineage-specific differences to oncogene activation

Project description:The exocrine compartment of the pancreas consisting of ducts and acini makes up most of the pancreatic tissue and is the site of origin for pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Our understanding of the initiation and progression of human PDAC is limited because of challenges associated with maintaining acinar cells in culture. Here we report the commitment of human pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic duct-like and acini-like organoids that express properties of the neonatal exocrine pancreas. The expression of PDAC-oncogenes KRasG12D or GNASR201C induced cell lineage-specific effects where GNASR201C was more effective in ductal compared to acinar organoids. KRasG12D was more effective in modeling cancer in vivo when expressed in acinar cells and was associated with acinar to ductal metaplastic changes in culture and in vivo. Thus we demonstrate lineage tropism and plasticity in the human exocrine pancreas and identify a renewable source of ductal and acinar epithelia for understanding exocrine development and diseases.

Epigenetic regulation of p63 blocks squamous-to-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation in esophageal development and malignancy [RNAseq_ip63]

Project description:While cell fate determination and maintenance are important in establishing and preserving tissue identity and function during development, aberrant cell fate transition leads to cancer cell heterogeneity and resistance to treatment. Here, we report an unexpected role for the transcription factor p63 (Trp63/TP63) in the fate choice of squamous versus neuroendocrine lineage in esophageal development and malignancy. Deletion of p63 results in extensive neuroendocrine differentiation in the developing mouse esophagus and esophageal progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells. In human esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma (eNEC) cells, p63 is transcriptionally silenced by EZH2-mediated H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). Upregulation of the major p63 isoform ΔNp63α, through either ectopic expression or EZH2 inhibition, promotes squamous transdifferentiation of eNEC cells. Together these findings uncover p63 as a rheostat in coordinating the transition between squamous and neuroendocrine cell fates during esophageal development and tumor progression.
