Chromatin accessibility profiling of freshly isolated mouse lung cancer LLC- and breast cancer 4T1- derived leptomeningeal metastatic cancer cells from different anatomical locations [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells metastatic to the leptomeninges encounter a metabolically-challenging extreme microenvironment. To understand adaptations to this space, we subjected leptomeningeal-metastatic (LeptoM) mouse breast and lung cancers isolated from either the leptomeninges or orthotopic primary sites to ATAC- and RNA-sequencing. When inhabiting the leptomeninges, the LeptoM cells demonstrated transcription downstream of retinoid-X-receptors (RXRs). We found evidence of local retinoic acid (RA) generation in both human leptomeningeal metastasis and mouse models in the form of elevated spinal fluid retinol and expression of RA-generating dehydrogenases within the leptomeningeal microenvironment. Stimulating LeptoM cells with 9-cis RA induced expression of transcripts encoding de novo fatty acid synthesis pathway enzymes in vitro. In vivo, whereas knockout of Stra6 did not alter cancer cell leptomeningeal growth, knockout of Rxra/b/g interrupted cancer cell lipid biosynthesis and arrested cancer growth. These observations illustrate a mechanism whereby locally-generated developmental cues metabolically reprogram metastatic cancer cells and suggest novel therapeutic approaches.

Transcriptomic profiling of LLC LeptoM vector control, Nr1h2/3 DKO and RXRa/b/g TKO upon stimulation with 1μM 9 cis-retinoic acid (RA) in vitro

Project description:To understand transcriptional regulation of nuclear receptors, LXRs and RXRs, in leptomeningeal metastatic cancer cells, we use CRISPR-Cas9 to knockout Nr1h2/3 genes (encoding LXRβ/α) or RXRa/b/g genes (encoding RXRα/β/γ) in LLC LeptoM cell lines, with small guide RNA targeting lacZ as vector control. We then subjected these cell lines for bulk RNA sequencing with or without stimulation of 1μM 9 cis-RA. Pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes between LLC LeptoM vector control with RA stimulation to DMSO treatment revealed upregulation of developmental related pathways and lipid metabolism pathways. Meanwhile, loss of function in LXR or RXR both resulted in dysregulation of multiple lipid metabolism pathways, in which RXR made a broader impact.

Single-cell atlas of mouse leptomeningeal immune cells

Project description:Metastasis to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled leptomeninges, or leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), represents a fatal complication of cancer. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of human CSF reveal a substantial inflammatory infiltrate in LM. We find the solute and immune composition of CSF in the setting of LM changes dramatically, with notable enrichment in IFN-gamma signaling. To investigate the mechanistic relationships between immune cell signaling and cancer cells within the leptomeninges, we developed syngeneic lung, breast, and melanoma LM mouse models. We find that transgenic host mice, lacking IFN-gamma or its receptor, fail to control LM growth. Overexpression of Ifng through a targeted AAV system controls cancer cell growth independent of adaptive immunity. Instead, leptomeningeal IFN-gamma actively recruits and activates peripheral myeloid cells, generating a diverse spectrum of dendritic cell subsets. These migratory, CCR7+ dendritic cells orchestrate the influx, proliferation, and cytotoxic action of natural killer cells to control cancer cell growth in the leptomeninges. This work uncovers leptomeningeal-specific IFN-gamma signaling and suggests a novel immune-therapeutic approach against tumors within this space.

Single-cell atlas of human leptomeningeal metastasis

Project description:The tumor microenvironment plays a critical regulatory role in cancer progression, especially in metastases to the central nervous system. Cancer cells inhabiting the cerebrospinal spinal fluid (CSF)-filled leptomeningeal space face substantial microenvironmental challenges including inflammation and sparse extracellular iron. Unlike CSF leukocytes, we find that cancer cells within the CSF express the iron-binding protein LCN2 and its receptor SCL22A17. Employing mouse models of LM, we find that the LCN2/SLC22A17 system is necessary to support leptomeningeal cancer cell growth. We find that infiltrating CSF macrophages generate inflammatory cytokines that induce cancer cell LCN2 expression. This LCN2/SLC22A17 system provides cancer cells superior access to limiting extracellular iron, allowing LCN2-expressing cancer cells to outcompete CSF macrophages for this resource. Finally, pharmacologic interruption of these interactions prevents cancer cell growth within the leptomeninges.

Spatial transcriptomics analysis identifies a unique tumor-promoting function of the meningeal stroma in melanoma leptomeningeal disease.

Project description:Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) remains a rapidly lethal complication for late-stage melanoma patients. The inaccessible nature of the disease site and lack of understanding of the biology of this unique metastatic site are major barriers to developing efficacious therapies for patients with melanoma LMD. This study aims to characterize the tumor microenvironment of the leptomeningeal tissues and patient-matched extra-cranial metastatic sites using spatial transcriptomic analyses.

Transcriptome of mouse leptomeningeal fibroblats

Project description:Meninges, or the membranous coverings of the brain and spinal cord, play host to dozens of morbid pathologies. In this study we provide a method to isolate the leptomeningeal cell layer, identify leptomeninges in histologic slides, and maintain leptomeningeal fibroblasts in in vitro culture. Using an array of transcriptomic, histological, and cytometric analyses, we identified ICAM1 and SLC38A2 as two novel markers of leptomeningeal cells in vivo and in vitro. Our results confirm the fibroblastoid nature of leptomeningeal cells and their ability to form a sheet-like layer that covers the brain and spine parenchyma. These findings will enable researchers in central nervous system barriers to describe leptomeningeal cell functions in health and disease.

RNA Sequencing of sorted CD31+ meningeal endothelial cells from naïve Lewis rats

Project description:The meninges, comprising the leptomeninges (pia and arachnoid layers) and the pachymeninx (dura layer), participate in CNS autoimmunity but their relative contributions remain unclear. Here, we report on findings in animal models of CNS autoimmunity and in multiple sclerosis patients, where, in chronic disease, the leptomeninges were highly inflamed and showed structural changes, while the dura mater was only marginally affected. Although dural vessels were leakier than leptomeningeal vessels, effector T cells adhered more weakly to the dural endothelium. Furthermore, local antigen presenting cells presented myelin and neuronal autoantigens less efficiently and the activation of autoreactive T cells was lower in dural than leptomeningeal layers, preventing local inflammatory processes. Direct antigen application was required to evoke a local inflammatory response in the dura. Together, our data demonstrate an uneven involvement of the meningeal layers in CNS autoimmunity, in which effector T cell trafficking and activation are functionally confined to the leptomeninges, while the dura remains largely shielded from CNS autoimmune processes.

Phenotypic states of leptomeningeal metastasis

Project description:Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), or spread of cancer cells into the cerebrospinal fluid, is characterized by a rapid onset of debilitating neurological symptoms and markedly bleak prognosis. The lack of reproducible in vitro and in vivo models has prevented development of novel, LM-specific therapies. Although LM allows for longitudinal sampling of floating cancer cells with a spinal tap, attempts to culture patient-derived leptomeningeal cancer cells have not been successful. We therefore employ leptomeningeal derivatives of human breast and lung cancer cell lines that reproduce both floating and adherent phenotypes of human LM in vivo and in vitro. We introduce a trypsin/EDTA-based fractionation method to reliably separate the two cell subsets and demonstrate that in vitro cultured floating cells have decreased proliferation rate, lower ATP content, and are enriched in distinct metabolic signatures. Long-term fractionation and transcriptomic analysis suggest a high degree plasticity between the two phenotypes in vitro. Floating cells colonize mouse leptomeninges more rapidly and associate with shortened survival. In addition, patients harboring LM diagnosed with CSF disease alone succumbed to the disease earlier than patients with adherent (MRI-positive) disease. Together, these data support mechanistic evidence of a metabolic adaptation that allows cancer cells to thrive in their natural environment but leads to death in vitro.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing identifies anti-cancer immune phenotypes in the early lung metastatic niche during breast cancer

Project description:This experiment looks at the dissection of the microenvironment in the lung metastatic niche in a model of murine triple-negative breast cancer as disease progresses. Mice received an orthotopic inoculation of 4T1 cells and disease was allowed to progress for 7, 14, or 21 days correlating to the pre-metastatic, micro-metastatic, and metastatic niche, respectively. Healthy controls were obtained along with each time point.
