A CLIC1 network coordinates matrix stiffness and the Warburg effect to promote tumor growth in pancreatic cancer. Zheng et al.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) features substantial matrix stiffening and reprogrammed glucose metabolism, particularly the Warburg effect. However, the complex interplay between these traits and their impact on tumor advancement remains inadequately explored. Here, we integrated clinical, cellular, and bioinformatics approaches to explore the connection between matrix stiffness and the Warburg effect in PDAC, identifying CLIC1 as a key mediator. Elevated CLIC1 expression, induced by matrix stiffness through Wnt/β-catenin/TCF4 signaling, signifies poorer prognostic outcomes in PDAC. Functionally, CLIC1 serves as a catalyst for glycolytic metabolism, propelling tumor proliferation. Mechanistically, CLIC1 fortifies HIF1α stability by curbing hydroxylation via ROS. Collectively, PDAC cells elevate CLIC1 levels in a matrix stiffness-responsive manner, bolstering the Warburg effect to drive tumor growth via ROS/HIF1α signaling. Our insights highlight opportunities for targeted therapies that concurrently address matrix properties and metabolic rewiring, with CLIC1 emerging as a promising intervention point.

Three-Dimensional Matrix Stiffness Modulates Mechanosensitive and Phenotypic Alterations in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Spheroids

Project description:Extracellular biophysical cues such as matrix stiffness are key stimuli tuning cell fate and affecting tumor progression in vivo. However, it remains unclear how spheroids in a 3D microenvironment perceive matrix mechanical stiffness stimuli and translate them into intracellular signals driving cancer. Mechanosensitive Piezo1 and TRPV4 ion channels, upregulated in many malignancies, are major transducers of such physical stimuli into biochemical responses. Most mechanotransduction studies probing the reception of changing stiffness cues by cells are, however, still limited to 2D culture systems or cell-extracellular matrix models which lack the major cell-cell interactions prevalent in 3D cancer tumors. Here, we engineered a 3D spheroid culture environment with varying mechanobiological properties to study the effect of static matrix stiffness stimuli on mechanosensitive and malignant phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma spheroids. We find that spheroid growth is enhanced when cultured in stiff extracellular matrix. Using flow cytometry, we show that the expression of mechanoreceptor Piezo1 and stemness marker CD44 is upregulated in stiff matrix. We also report the upregulation of a selection of genes with associations to mechanoreception, ion channel transport, extracellular matrix organization, and tumorigenic phenotypes in stiff matrix spheroids. Together, our results indicate that cancer cells in 3D spheroids utilize mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo1 and TRPV4 to sense changes in static extracellular matrix stiffness and that stiffness drives pro-tumorigenic phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

ZNF416 is a pivotal transcriptional regulator of fibroblast mechano-activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Matrix stiffness is a central regulator of fibroblast function. However, the transcriptional mechanisms linking matrix stiffness to changes in fibroblast phenotype are incompletely understood. Here, we evaluated the effect of matrix stiffness on genome-wide chromatin accessibility in freshly-isolated lung fibroblasts using ATAC-seq. We found higher matrix stiffness profoundly increased global chromatin accessibility relative to lower matrix stiffness, and these alterations were in close genomic proximity to known pro-fibrotic gene programs. Motif analysis of these regulated genomic loci identified ZNF416 as a putative mediator of fibroblast stiffness responses. Genome occupancy analysis using ChIP-seq confirmed that ZNF416 occupies a broad range of genes implicated in fibroblast activation and tissue-fibrosis, with relatively little overlap in genomic occupancy with other mechanoresponsive and pro-fibrotic transcriptional regulators. Using loss and gain of function studies we demonstrated that ZNF416 plays a critical role in fibroblast proliferation, extracellular matrix synthesis and contractile function. Together these observations identify ZNF416 as novel mechano-activated transcriptional regulator of fibroblast biology.

Tunable three-dimensional engineered prostate cancer tissues for in vitro recapitulation of heterogeneous in vivo prostate tumor stiffness

Project description:In this study we report the establishment and characterization of a three-dimensional in vitro, coculture engineered prostate cancer tissue (EPCaT) disease model based upon and informed by our characterization of in vivo prostate cancer (PCa) xenograft tumor stiffness. In prostate cancer, tissue stiffness is known to impact changes in gene and protein expression, alter therapeutic response, and be positively correlated with an aggressive clinical presentation. To inform an appropriate stiffness range for our in vitro model, PC-3 prostate tumor xenografts were established. Tissue stiffness ranged from 95 to 6,750 Pa. Notably, xenograft cell seeding density significantly impacted tumor stiffness; a two-fold increase in the number of seeded cells not only widened the tissue stiffness range throughout the tumor, but also resulted in significant spatial heterogeneity. To fabricate our in vitro EPCaT model, PC-3 castration-resistant prostate cancer cells were co-encapsulated with BJ-5ta fibroblasts within a poly(ethylene glycol)-fibrinogen matrix augmented with excess poly(ethylene glycol)-diacrylate to modulate the matrix mechanical properties. Encapsulated cells temporally remodeled their in vitro microenvironment and enrichment of gene sets associated with tumorigenic progression was observed in response to increased matrix stiffness. Through variation of matrix composition and culture duration, EPCaTs were tuned to mimic the wide range of biomechanical cues provided to PCa cells in vivo; collectively, a range of 50 to 10,000 Pa was achievable. Markedly, this also encompasses published clinical PCa stiffness data. Overall, this study serves to introduce our bioinspired, tunable EPCaT model and provide the foundation for future PCa progression and drug development studies.

Regan2020 - Adhesion_CIP_Migration_CellCycle_Apoptosis_v2

Project description:This 121-node Boolean regulatory network model that synthesizes mechanosensitive signaling that links anchorage and matrix stiffness to proliferation and migration, and cell density to contact inhibition. It can reproduce anchorage dependence and anoikis, detachment-induced cytokinesis errors, the effect of matrix stiffness on proliferation, and contact inhibition of proliferation and migration by two mechanisms that converge on the YAP transcription factor. In addition, this model offers testable predictions related to cell cycle-dependent sensitivity to anoikis, the molecular requirements for abolishing contact inhibition, substrate stiffness-dependent expression of the catalytic subunit of PI3K, heterogeneity of migratory and non-migratory phenotypes in sub-confluent monolayers, and linked inhibition but semi-independent induction of proliferation versus migration as a function of cell density and mitogenic stimulation. The model is an extended version of the growth signaling, cell cycle and apoptosis model published in Sizek et al, PLoS Comp. Biol. 15(3): e1006402, 2019.

SIRT3 opposes metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells through HIF1a destabilization

Project description:Tumor cells exhibit aberrant metabolism characterized by high glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen. This metabolic reprogramming, known as the Warburg effect, provides tumor cells with the substrates and redox potential required for the generation of biomass. Here, we show that the mitochondrial NAD-dependent deacetylase SIRT3 is a crucial regulator of the Warburg effect. SIRT3 loss promotes a metabolic profile consistent with high glycolysis required for anabolic processes in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, SIRT3 mediates metabolic reprogramming independently of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and through HIF1a, a transcription factor that controls expression of key glycolytic enzymes. SIRT3 loss increases reactive oxygen species production, resulting in enhanced HIF1a stabilization. Strikingly, SIRT3 is deleted in 40% of human breast cancers, and its loss correlates with the upregulation of HIF1a target genes. Finally, we find that SIRT3 overexpression directly represses the Warburg effect in breast cancer cells. In sum, we identify SIRT3 as a regulator of HIF1a and a suppressor of the Warburg effect. RNA isolated from brown adipose tissue of SIRT3 WT and KO mice. 5 wild-type samples and 5 SIRT3 KO samples

miRNA expression in primary renal carcinomas, subgrouped based on HIF1α expression

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of renal cancer is often associated with inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene von-Hippel Lindau (VHL), leading to stable expression of hypoxia inducible factors, HIF1α and HIF2α. Although HIF1α functions as a tumor suppressor gene, majority of ccRCCs constitutively express HIF1α, stratifying VHL-deficient ccRCCs into groups which express either both HIF1α and HIF2α (H1H2) or HIF2α exclusively (H2). MicroRNA (miRNA) profiling performed in these two ccRCC subtypes to identify novel molecular mechanisms. ccRCCs were classified into H1H2 and H2 subtypes by immunohostochemical staining of H1F1α and H1F2α expression. Five H1H2 tumor samples and eight H2 tumor samples were used for the study. Matched adjacent normal renal tissues were used as respective controls.

Mapping functional to morphological variation reveals the basis of regional extracellular matrix subversion and nerve invasion in pancreatic cancer [DNA-seq]

Project description:Intratumor morphological heterogeneity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) predicts clinical outcomes but is only partially understood at the molecular level. To elucidate the gene expression programs underpinning intratumor morphological variation in PDAC, we investigated and deconvoluted at single cell level the molecular profiles of histologically distinct clusters of PDAC cells. We identified three major morphological and functional variants that co-exist in varying proportions in all PDACs, display limited genetic diversity, and are associated with a distinct organization of the extracellular matrix: a glandular variant with classical ductal features; a transitional variant displaying abortive ductal structures and mixed endodermal and myofibroblast-like gene expression; and a poorly differentiated variant lacking ductal features and basement membrane, and showing neuronal lineage priming. Ex vivo and in vitro evidence supports the occurrence of dynamic transitions among these variants in part influenced by extracellular matrix composition and stiffness and associated with local, specifically neural, invasion.
