Amphiregulin Upregulated in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells upon Direct Contact with Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a pivotal component of the tumor microenvironment, significantly contributing to the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Direct co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), one of the origins of CAFs, with ESCC cell line, led to increased amphiregulin (AREG) expression and secretion in the ESCC cells. Consequently, the expression and phosphorylation of the AREG receptor EGFR were upregulated in co-cultured ESCC cells. Moreover, AREG treatment enhanced ESCC cell survival and migration through the EGFR-Erk/p38 signaling pathway. Immunohistochemical analysis of AREG using human ESCC tissues showed a positive correlation between the intensity of AREG expression in tumor invasive front and the expression level of the CAF marker FAP. Furthermore, bioinformatics database analysis confirmed a significant upregulation of AREG expression in ESCC tissues compared to normal tissues. These findings suggest that AREG is involved in CAF-mediated ESCC progression and could be a novel therapeutic target for ESCC.

Amphiregulin mediates non-cell-autonomous effect of senescence on reprogramming

Project description:Cellular senescence is an irreversible growth arrest with a highly dynamic secretome, termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescence has been implicated in somatic reprogramming to pluripotency. The cell-intrinsic proliferation arrest is a barrier for reprogramming, whereas the SASP facilitates the cell fate conversion in nonsenescent cells. However, the mechanisms by which reprogramming-induced senescence regulates cell plasticity are not well understood. Here, we have further investigated how the heterogeneity of paracrine senescence impacts reprogramming. We show that senescence promotes in vitro reprogramming in a stress-dependent manner. We identified a catalog of SASP factors and pathways potentially involved in the cell fate conversion using an unbiased proteomic analysis. Amphiregulin (AREG), a growth factor frequently secreted by the senescent cells, promotes in vitro reprogramming by accelerating proliferation and MET via the EGFR signaling pathway. Of note, AREG treatment diminished the negative effect of donor age on reprogramming. Finally, AREG enhances in vivo reprogramming in the skeletal muscle. Hence, senescence could facilitate cellular plasticity via various SASP factors to promote reprogramming and tissue repair.

Periostin Upregulated in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts upon Direct Contact with Cancer Cells Promotes Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression by Enhancing the Migration of Cancer Cells and Stromal Cells

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the tumor microenvironment are involved in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We generated CAF-like cells by direct co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), one of the origins of CAFs, with ESCC cell lines and found that periostin is highly expressed in CAF-like cells. Periostin activated Akt and Erk signaling pathways in ESCC cells, enhancing survival and migration via integrin β4, one of the receptors for periostin. Periostin also enhanced migration of MSCs and macrophages and caused macrophages to acquire tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-like properties. High periostin expression in cancer stroma was associated with several clinicopathological factors and expressions of CAF markers and numbers of infiltrating TAMs. Moreover, ESCC patients with high periostin expression exhibited significantly poor postoperative outcomes. Thus, periostin secreted from CAFs enhanced the migration of ESCC cells, MSCs, and macrophages and contributed to developing the tumor microenvironment. These results indicate that periostin may be a novel therapeutic target for ESCC.

The EGF Receptor Ligand Amphiregulin Controls Cell Division via FoxM1

Project description:We analyzed the effect of tetracycline (Tet)-inducible amphiregulin (AREG) silencing on the transcriptome of immortalized human N/TERT keratinocytes in the presence or absence of exogenous rhEGF. Tetracycline-mediated AREG silencing significantly altered the expression of 2,331 genes, 623 of which were not normalized towards normal by treatment with EGF. Genes irreversibly up-regulated by suppression of AREG overlapped with genes involved in keratinocyte differentiation. A significant proportion of the irreversibly down-regulated genes featured upstream binding sites recognized by FoxM1

Effect of Amphiregulin on global gene expression in injured skeletal muscle in the presence or absence of CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs).

Project description:Global gene expression analysis of injured skeletal muscle showed that amphiregulin (Areg), a growth factor over-expressed by muscle Treg cells, enhances muscle regeneration both in the presence and in the absence of Tregs. Foxp3-DTR+ and Foxp3-DTR- mice were injured with cardiotoxin in TA muscle at day 0 and treated with diphtheria toxin every other day from day 0 until dissection. Amphiregulin or PBS were administered im on day 0 and ip every other day until dissection. TA muscle was flash-frozen and RNA was extracted using Trizol. RNA from whole tissue samples was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.

PAI-1 derived cancer-associated fibroblasts in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma promotes the migration and invasion of cancer cells and macrophages by interaction with LRP1

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are known to be involved in the progression of various cancers. However, the roles of CAFs in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) microenvironment remain unclear. We previously co-cultured human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with ESCC cells and confirmed the induction of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in MSCs, which we defined as CAF-like cells. To investigate the roles of CAFs, we performed cDNA microarray analysis between MSCs and CAF-like cells and found that SERPINE1 was highly expressed in CAF-like cells when compared to MSCs. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), encoded by SERPINE1, is generally accepted to play tumor promoting roles and act as a poor prognostic indicator in several cancers. PAI-1 derived from CAF-like cells promoted the cell migration and invasion of ESCC cells by activating Akt and Erk1/2 signaling pathways via low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1), the receptor of PAI-1. The higher expression levels of PAI-1 and LRP1 were correlated with the poor prognosis in ESCC patients. These results suggest that PAI-1/LRP1 axis contributes to the progression of ESCC.

HDAC3 maintains oocyte meiosis arrest by repressing amphiregulin expression before the LH surge [HDAC3cKO]

Project description:It is known that granulosa cells (GCs) mediate gonadotropin-induced oocyte meiosis resumption by releasing EGF-like factors in mammal, however, the detail molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that luteinizing hormone (LH) surge induced histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) downregulation in GCs is essential for oocyte maturation. Before the LH surge, HDAC3 is highly expressed in GCs. Transcription factors, such as FOXO1, mediates recruitment of HDAC3 to the amphiregulin (Areg) promoter, which suppresses AREG expression. With the LH surge, decreased HDAC3 in GCs enables histone H3K14 acetylation and binding of the SP1 transcription factor to the Areg promoter to initiate AREG transcription and oocyte maturation. Conditional knockout of Hdac3 in granulosa cells in vivo or inhibition of HDAC3 activity in vitro promotes the maturation of oocytes independent of LH. Taking together, HDAC3 in GCs within ovarian follicles acts as a negative regulator of EGF-like growth factor expression before the LH surge.
