Neutrophils exposed to a cholesterol metabolite secrete extracellular vesicles that promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness in breast cancer cells [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as critical mediators of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we investigate the mechanisms by which sEVs derived from neutrophils treated with the cholesterol metabolite, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), influence breast cancer progression. sEVs released from 27HC treated neutrophils enhance epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem-like properties in breast cancer cells, resulting in loss of adherence and increased migratory capacity. Decreased miRs within the sEVs resulted in activation of the WNT/ β-catenin signaling pathway in recipient cells and suggest that this may be a predominant pathway for stem-like phenotype and EMT. Our findings underscore a novel mechanism by which 27HC-modulated neutrophils contribute to breast cancer pathophysiology through EV-mediated intercellular communication, suggesting potential therapeutic targets in cancer treatment.

27-Hydroxycholesterol links cholesterol and breast cancer pathophysiology.

Project description:The cholesterol metabolite and SERM, 27HC, is the signaling molecule that links cholesterol to breast cancer pathophysiology Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for breast cancer, and patients taking statins demonstrate lower breast cancer incidence and decreased breast cancer recurrence, data that highlights the potential importance of the recent finding that 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27HC), a primary metabolite of cholesterol, acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of 27HC on breast cancer pathophysiology. Elevation of 27HC in murine models increased tumor growth in an estrogen receptor dependent manner. Importantly, a high cholesterol diet decreased the time to tumor onset and increased tumor growth, and this response required presence of CYP27A1. Within human breast cancer samples, CYP27A1 expression increasesd with grade, in addition to being highly expressed in tumor associated macrophages. Finally 27HC increases metastasis to the lung. The findings herein strongly support a role for 27HC in breast cancer pathophysiology, providing support for the exploration of potential chemopreventative benefits of lower cholesterol diets, and pharmacological inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase or CYP27A1. MCF-7 cells were treated as indicated in the presence of E2 or vehicle; RNA was isolated and used for preparation of label for 3' expression analysis.

Membrane Protein Modification Modulates Big and Small Extracellular Vesicle Biodistribution and Tumorigenic Potential in Breast Cancers in vivo

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells to mediate intercellular communication under pathological and physiological conditions. While small EVs (sEVs; <100–200 nm, exosomes) are intensely investigated, the properties and functions of medium and large EVs (big EVs [bEVs]; >200 nm, microvesicles) are less well explored. Here, we identify bEVs and sEVs as distinct EV populations, and determine that bEVs are released in a greater bEV:sEV ratio in the aggressive human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype. PalmGRET, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based EV reporter, reveals dose-dependent EV biodistribution at non-lethal and physiological EV dosages, as compared to lipophilic fluorescent dyes. The bEVs and sEVs exhibit unique biodistribution profiles, yet individually promote in vivo tumor growth in a syngeneic immunocompetent TNBC breast tumor murine model. The bEVs and sEVs share mass spectrometry (MS)-identified tumor progression-associated EV surface membrane proteins (tpEVSurfMEMs), which include SLC29A1, CD9 and CD44. Remarkably, tpEVSurfMEM depletion attenuates EV lung organotropism, alters biodistribution, and reduces protumorigenic potential. This study identifies distinct in vivo property and function of bEVs and sEVs in breast cancer, which suggest the significant role of bEVs in diseases, diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Cancer cell-endothelial intercellular transfer alters the endogenous miRNA profile and phenotype of recipient endothelial cells

Project description:Metastasis is a major cause of mortality, and remains a final frontier in the search for a cure for cancer. While there has been much research on the ‘seed’ (metastatic tumor cells) and the ‘soil’ (colonized host tissue), interactions between metastatic cancer cells and stromal endothelial cells, which occur at multiple stages during metastasis, are less well understood. Here we report a dynamic regulation of the endothelium by cancer cells through the formation of nanoscale intercellular membrane bridges, which act as physical conduits for intercellular communication in vitro and in vivo, including horizontal transfer of microRNAs (miRNA). The communication between the tumor cell and the endothelium upregulates markers associated with pathological endothelium, which is reversed by pharmacological inhibition of these nanoscale conduits. These results lead us to define the notion of “metastatic hijack”: cancer cell-induced transformation of healthy endothelium into pathological endothelium via horizontal communication through the nanoscale conduits. Pharmacological perturbation of these nanoscale membrane bridges decreases metastatic foci in syngeneic- and human xenograft-breast cancer models. Targeting the formation of these nanoscale membrane bridges may potentially emerge as a new therapeutic opportunity in the management of metastatic cancer. A miRNA microarray was used to evaluate the transport of endogenous microRNAs. The intercellular transfer-ve and intercellular transfer+ve samples were sorted from the same endothelial cell population with the only difference being the occurrence of intercellular transport. The heat map shows potential miRNA candidates for exogenous transfer on two independent biological replicates. These miRNA candidates were significantly up-regulated in the cells receiving transfer of intercellular contents. HUVECs that were not exposed to cancer cells were used as a baseline control.

Screening for the key miRNAs of exosomes that promote tumor progression and metastasis

Project description:Intercellular communication is crucial for breast cancer progression and metastasis. Yet, the role of cancer-derived exosomes and their specific miRNAs cargo in mediating intercellular communications needed to be further elucidated. MiRNAs control gene expression post-transcriptionally and are selectively packaged into cancer-derived exosomes. Therefore, we hypothesized that miRNAs in cancer-derived exosomes were most likely the essential components of intercellular communication. To identify the key miRNAs, we chose metastatic MDA-MB-231 and non-metastatic MCF-7 for comparison. The miRNAs profiling of exosomes derived from these two kinds of cells as well as the endogenous miRNAs profiling of the cells were conducted by microarrays.

HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Cell and Normal Breast Epithelial Cell Derived Exosome RNA Expression

Project description:AS a key medium for intercellular communication, exosome plays an important role in the occurrence and development of various forms of cancers, including breast cancer. However, the RNA from breast cancer-derived exosome remains to be explored. The HR+/HER2− breast cancer is the most common subgroup of breast cancer, we collected and primary cultured breast cancer and normal breast epithelial cells from three HR+/HER2− breast cancer patients, isolated the supernatant and extracted RNA from exosomes, and then performed microarray assays.

Transcriptomic analysis of control and macrophage-conditioned meduim treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells to investigate the mechanism of macrophage-induced TNT formation.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) secrete cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in tumor microenvironment to support cancer progression. Previous studies have demonstrated role of macrophages in stimulating long range intercellular bridges referred as tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) in cancer cells. Intercellular communication between cancer cells via TNTs promote cancer growth, invasion, and therapy resistance. Given the important role of TNTs and macrophages in cancer, the mechanism of macrophage mediated TNT formation is elusive. In this study, it is shown that the macrophage-conditioned medium treated MCF-7 cells showed enrichment of NFκB and focal adhesion pathway as well as upregulation of genes involved in EMT, extracellular remodelling, and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Interestingly, inhibition of PKC, Src, NFκB and p38 inhibited macrophage-induced TNT formation in MCF-7 cells. These results reveal novel role of PKC and Src in inducing TNT formation in cancer cells and suggest that inhibition of PKC and Src activity may likely contribute to reduced macrophage-breast cancer cell interaction and potential therapeutic strategy of cancer.

Small extracellular vesicles secreted from senescent cells promote cancer cell proliferation through EphA2.

Project description:Cellular senescence prevents the proliferation of cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. However, the altered secretome of senescent cells can promote the growth of the surrounding cancer cells. Although extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as new players in intercellular communication, their role in the function of senescent cell secretome has been largely unexplored. Here, we show that exosome-like small EVs (sEVs) are important mediators of the pro-tumorigenic function of senescent cells. sEV-associated EphA2 secreted from senescent cells binds to ephrin-A1 that is highly expressed in several types of cancer cells and promotes cell proliferation through EphA2/ephrin-A1 reverse signalling. sEV sorting of EphA2 is increased in senescent cells due to its enhanced phosphorylation resulting from oxidative inactivation of PTP1B phosphatase. Our results demonstrate a novel mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-regulated cargo sorting into sEVs, which is critical for the potentially deleterious growth-promoting effect of the senescent cell secretome.

Gene expression profiles of human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, T47D and MDA-MB-231 co-cultured with 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Project description:Obesity is a known risk factor for breast cancer. To identify genes and underlying pathways in human breast cancer cells affected by interaction with mature adipocytes, two estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and T47D, and the triple-negative (TN) breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 were cultivated in a co-culture system with or without differentiated murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes for the purpose of a microarray gene expression analysis. The use of in vitro differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes allowed comparable experimental conditions for each of the co-culture experiments with human breast cancer cell lines. For co-cultivation analyses of 3T3-L1 and breast cancer cells, we set up a two-dimensional transwell system, which enables intercellular communication through soluble factors secreted into the medium but inhibits intermixture of the different cell types. Following 5 days of co-culture with or without differentiated adipocytes, total RNA was isolated from the human breast cancer cells and subjected to microarray gene expression analyses.
