An engineered model of metastatic colonization of human bone marrow reveals breast cancer cell remodeling of the hematopoietic niche

ABSTRACT: Incomplete understanding of metastatic disease mechanisms continues to hinder effective treatment of cancer. Despite remarkable advancements toward the identification of druggable targets, treatment options for patients in remission following primary tumor resection remain limited. Bioengineered human tissue models of metastatic sites capable of recreating the physiologically relevant milieu of metastatic colonization may strengthen our grasp of cancer progression and contribute to the development of effective therapeutic strategies. We report the use of an engineered tissue model of human bone marrow (eBM) to identify microenvironmental cues regulating cancer cell proliferation and to investigate how triple-negative breast cancer cell lines influence hematopoiesis. Notably, individual stromal components of the BM niche (osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells) were each critical for regulating tumor cell quiescence and proliferation in the three-dimensional eBM niche. In this data set, we provide transcriptomic information from bulk RNA sequencing of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells that were pre-conditioned by being co-cultured on variations of eBM tissues. We envision that this human tissue model will facilitate studies of niche-specific metastatic progression and individualized responses to treatment.

Proteomic profiling of the ECM of breast cancer metastases in different organs reveals distinct metastatic niches

Project description:Hebert JD, Myers SA, Naba A, Abbruzzese G, Lamar J, Carr SA, Hynes RO.Metastasis causes most cancer-related deaths, and one poorly understood aspect of metastatic cancer is the adaptability of cells from a primary tumor to create new niches and survive in multiple, different secondary sites. We used quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze the extracellular matrix (ECM), a critical component of metastatic niches, in metastases to the brain, lungs, liver and bone marrow, all derived from parental MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells. We show that tumor and stromal cells cooperate in forming niches, with stromal cells producing predominantly core, structural ECM proteins and tumor cells producing a diverse array of ECM-associated proteins, including secreted factors and modulators of the matrix. Additionally, tumor and stromal cells together create distinct niches in each tissue, and we show that knocking down SERPINB1, a protein elevated in brain metastases, led to a reduction in brain metastasis, suggesting that some niche-specific ECM proteins may be involved in metastatic tropism.

A novel labelling strategy enables spatial resolution of metastatic niche cellular composition and uncovers lung stem cell activity proximal to breast cancer

Project description:Cancer cell behaviour is strongly influenced by the surrounding cellular environment, making the characterization of the local tumour microenvironment (or niche) a fundamental question in tumour biology. To date, a direct investigation of the early cellular changes induced by metastatic cells within the surrounding tissue is difficult to achieve, especially at early micro-metastatic stages and for low frequency niche populations. Here we present the strategy whereby metastatic cancer cells release a cell-penetrating fluorescent protein that is efficiently taken up by neighbouring cells, allowing spatial identification of the local metastatic cellular environment within the whole tissue. Notably, this strategy can be used to follow metastatic niches from early micro-metastasis to late macro-metastasis, allowing temporal resolution. Moreover, the presence of low represented niche cells can be detected and characterized among the bulk tissue. To highlight its potential, we have used this niche-labelling strategy to study the lung metastatic environment of breast cancer cells. We uncover the presence of lung parenchymal cells within the metastatic niche where lung epithelial cells show stem cell-like features with expression of lung progenitor markers, multi-lineage differentiation potential and self-renewal activity. Moreover, lung epithelial cells can be directly perturbed by cancer cells in ex vivo co-culture assays and support their growth. In summary, here we describe a novel labelling system that enables spatial resolution of the metastatic microenvironment and provide evidence that the tissue cellular environment surrounding metastatic growth is characterized by undifferentiated features. The data highlight the significant potential of this method as a platform for new discoveries.

N-glycoprotein capture mass spectrometry identifies candidate substrates of human Fut enzymes

Project description:How disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) engage specific stromal components in distant organs for survival and outgrowth is a critical but poorly understood step of the metastatic cascade. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in promoting the cancer stem cell properties needed for metastasis initiation, while the reverse process of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) is required for metastatic outgrowth. Here we report that this paradoxical requirement for simultaneous induction of both MET and cancer stem cell traits in DTCs is provided by bone vascular niche E-selectin. Using cell surface alkoxyamine-biotinylation and label-free LC-MS/MS, Glg1 was identified as a top candidate Fut3/Fut6-dependent E-selectin ligand. We functionally validated their involvement in the formation of bone metastasis. These findings provide unique insights into the functional role of E-selectin as a component of the vascular niche criticalfor metastatic colonization in bone.

Bidirection activation of stem-like programs in metastatic cancer and alveolar type II cells within the niche

Project description:A key step for metastatic outgrowth involves the generation of a deeply altered microenvironment (niche) that supports the malignant behavior of cancer cells. The complexity of the metastatic niche has posed a significant challenge in elucidating the underlying programs driving its origin. Here, by focusing on early stages of breast cancer metastasis to the lung in mice, we describe a cancer-dependent chromatin remodeling and activation of developmental programs in alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells within the niche. We show that metastatic cells can prime AT2 cells into a reprogrammed multilineage state. In turn, this cancer-induced reprogramming of AT2 cells promoted stem-like features in cancer cells and enhanced their initiation capacity. In conclusion, we propose the concept of "reflected stemness" as an early phenomenon during metastatic niche initiation, wherein metastatic cells reprogram the local tissue into a stem-like state that enhances intrinsic cancer-initiating potential, creating a positive feedback loop where tumorigenic programs are amplified.

Chemotherapy-induced complement signaling modulates immunosuppression and metastatic relapse in breast cancer [RNA-seq]

Project description:Mortality from breast cancer is almost exclusively a result of tumor metastasis and resistance to therapy and therefore understanding the underlying mechanisms is an urgent challenge. Chemotherapy, routinely used to treat breast cancer, induces extensive tissue damage, eliciting an inflammatory response that may hinder efficacy and promote metastatic relapse. Here we show that systemic treatment with chemotherapy following resection of a triple-negative breast tumor induced the expression of complement factors in lung fibroblasts and modulated an immunosuppressive metastatic niche that supported lung metastasis. CAF-derived complement signaling mediated the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) to the metastatic niche, thus promoting T cell dysfunction. Functionally, we show that pharmacological targeting of complement signaling in combination with chemotherapy alleviated immune dysregulation and attenuated lung metastasis. Our findings suggest that combining cytotoxic treatment with blockade of complement signaling in triple-negative breast cancer patients may attenuate the adverse effects of chemotherapy, thus offering a promising approach for clinical use.

Chemotherapy, routinely used to treat breast cancer, induces extensive tissue damage, eliciting an inflammatory response that may hinder efficacy and promote metastatic relapse. Here we show that systemic treatment with doxorubicin, but not cisplatin, following resection of a triple-negative breast tumor induced the expression of complement factors in lung fibroblasts and modulated an immunosuppressive metastatic niche that supported lung metastasis. CAF-derived complement signaling mediated the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) to the metastatic niche, thus promoting T cell dysfunction.

Endothelial Pim3 kinase protects the vascular barrier during lung metastasis

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) form a tissue-specific barrier for disseminating cancer cells in distant organs. However, the molecular regulation of the ECs in the metastatic niche is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the transcriptional reprogramming of ECs in the lung metastatic niche six hours after the arrival of melanoma cells in the niche. We discovered a novel EC cluster derived from venous capillaries in response to infiltrating cancer cells, which was enriched for cell-cell communication pathways, including the Dll4, Vegf and Il6-Jak-Stat pathways. The Jak-Stat activated oncogenic Pim3 kinase was a marker of the cancer responding ECs, being upregulated in spontaneous metastasis models and in ECs of human cancer. Notably, PIM inhibition increased vascular leakage and metastatic colonization in vivo and impaired the EC barrier via decreased junctional Cadherin-5 and catenins a, b and d. Thus, PIM3 protects the EC barrier in the metastatic niche, which may impair the efficacy of PIM inhibitors in cancer therapies.
