Stromal KITL/SCF promotes pancreas tissue homeostasis and restrains tumor progression.

ABSTRACT: Components of normal tissue architecture serve as barriers to tumor progression. Inflammatory and wound-healing programs are requisite features of solid tumorigenesis, wherein alterations to immune and non-immune stromal elements enable loss of homeostasis during tumor evolution. The precise mechanisms by which normal stromal cell states limit tissue plasticity and tumorigenesis, and which are lost during tumor progression, remain largely unknown. Here we show that healthy pancreatic mesenchyme expresses the paracrine signaling molecule KITL, also known as stem cell factor, and identify loss of stromal KITL during tumorigenesis as tumor-promoting. Genetic inhibition of mesenchymal KITL in the contexts of homeostasis, injury, and cancer together indicate a role for KITL signaling in maintenance of pancreas tissue architecture, such that loss of the stromal KITL pool increased tumor growth and reduced survival of tumor-bearing mice. Together, these findings implicate loss of mesenchymal KITL as a mechanism for establishing a tumor-permissive microenvironment.

Stromal-epithelial interaction via soluble factors in prostate carcinoma cell lines

Project description:Cell-cell communication is an important process in healthy tissue but also gains enhanced attention regarding pathological tissue. To date, the tumor microenvironment is gradually brought into focus when studying tumorigenesis. In the prostate gland, stromal and epithelial cells greatly interact to maintain homeostasis or tissue integrity. This study focuses on an indirect communication via soluble factors. For this approach, the prostate carcinoma cell line LNCaP and the stromal primary cells p21 were co-cultured without direct contact and RNA was isolated at defined time points (one, three and seven days). RNA sequencing finally revealed a time-depending differential expression profile.

Elucidating the mechanism underlying prostate turmorigenesis mediated by AR in Shh-responsive cells

Project description:The activation of the androgen receptor (AR) through binding of androgens is essential for prostate tumorigenesis. Although significant effort has been devoted to determining the intrinsic mechanism underlying AR action and designing therapies to directly target AR expressing tumor cells, these therapies failed in most prostate cancer patients. Here, we demonstrate that loss of AR in stromal sonic-hedgehog Gli1-lineage cells diminishes prostate epithelial oncogenesis and tumor development using both in vivo tissue recombination assays and mouse models. Single-cell RNA sequencing combined with other experimental analyses showed that AR loss in stromal Gli1-lineage niches resulted in robust increased expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) through attenuation of AR suppression on Sp1-regulated transcription. Aberrant increased IGFBP3 further inhibits IGF1 induced Wnt signaling activation in subsets of basal epithelial cells, impairing oncogenic cell growth and tumor development. IGFBP3 further showed to attenuate IGF1-induced oncogenic growth of prostatic organoids derived from mouse basal epithelia. Loss of human prostate tumor basal cell signatures was identified in basal cells with AR-deficient microenvironment. This study demonstrates the niche effect of stromal AR in Gli1-lineage cells in supporting prostate tumorigenesis, implicating co-targeting tumor epithelial and stromal AR signaling for treating advanced prostate cancer.

Pinch loss in early mesenchymal progenitors alters bone marrow environment

Project description:To investigate the alteration of bone marrow environment caused by Pinch loss, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on bone marrow cells, including hematopoietic cells and non-hematopietic stromal cells. As results indicated, we found both cell type proportion and transcriptomic signatures were dramatically altered by Pinch loss. We identified genes related to ossification, extracellular matrix organization, skeletal system development, and vasculature structure development were significantly differentially expressed between control group and dKO group in many mesenchymal stromal cells. Our results revealed Pinch loss disrupted homeostasis of bone marrow niche, monocytes in bone marrow were actively involved in inflammatory response, and functions of mesenchymal stromal cells was severely disrupted.

mRNA-seq analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line OC3 and TW2.6 derived xenografts (CDXs)

Project description:In many solid tumors, tissue of mesenchymal subtype is frequently associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state, strong stromal infiltration, and poor prognosis. Emerging evidence from tumor ecosystem studies indicate that the stromal components, including cancer associated fibroblast (CAFs), actively participate in cancer growth and progression. Transcriptomic analysis of xenograft tissues provides a unique advantage in dissecting hallmark genes of tumor (human) or stromal (murine) origins.

Metabolic reprogramming of stromal fibroblasts through p62-mTORC1 signaling promotes inflammation and tumorigenesis

Project description:The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in cancer progression, but the precise mechanisms by which stromal cells influence the tumor epithelium are poorly understood. The signaling adapter p62 has been implicated as a positive regulator of epithelial tumorigenesis; however, its role in the stroma is unknown. We show here that p62 levels are reduced in the stroma of several tumors. Also, orthotopic and organotypic studies demonstrate that the loss of p62 in the tumor microenvironment or stromal fibroblasts resulted in increased tumorigenesis of epithelial prostate cancer cells. The mechanism involves the regulation of cellular redox through an mTORC1/c-Myc pathway of stromal glucose and amino acid metabolism. Inhibition of the pathway by p62 deficiency results in increased stromal IL-6 production, which is required for tumor promotion in the epithelial compartment. Thus, p62 is an anti-inflammatory tumor suppressor that acts through modulation of metabolism in the tumor stroma. C57BL6 syngeneic TRAMP-C2Re3 cells (5×10^4) were injected orthotopically into the prostate of WT (n=6) or p62 KO (n=6) mice (C57BL6 background) and tumor growth was assessed, followed by transcriptome profiling of the orthotopic tumors (n=12).

Regulation of tumor angiogenesis and mesenchymal–endothelial transition by p38α through TGF-β and JNK signaling

Project description:The formation of new blood vessels is essential for normal development, tissue repair and tumor growth. Here we show that inhibition of the kinase p38α enhances angiogenesis in human and mouse colon tumors. Mesenchymal cells can contribute to tumor angiogenesis by regulating proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. We show that p38α negatively regulates an angiogenic program in mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), multipotent progenitors found in perivascular locations. This program includes the acquisition of an endothelial phenotype by MSCs mediated by both TGF-β and JNK, and negatively regulated by p38α. Abrogation of p38α in mesenchymal cells increases tumorigenesis, which correlates with enhanced angiogenesis. Using genetic models, we show that p38α regulates the acquisition of an endothelial-like phenotype by mesenchymal cells in colon tumors and damage tissue. Taken together, our results indicate that p38α in mesenchymal cells restrains a TGF-β-induced angiogenesis program including their ability to transdifferentiate into endothelial cells.

wnt1-induced mammary tumor from Rarb KO mice vs. those from Rarb wt (control)

Project description:Previously we have demonstrated that inactivation of retinoic acid receptor beta (Rarb) in the mouse results in a protective effect against ErbB2-induced mammary gland tumorigenesis although Rarb has been reported as a tumor suppressor before. In the current study, we further confirmed that ablation of Rarb has a very similar impact on Wnt1-induced mammary gland tumorigenesis as those on ErbB2-induced mammary gland tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which Rarb confers its effects on tumor progression is quite different although both involving in tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling. In the Wnt1 tumors, ectopic wnt1 produced by malignant luminal cells activates nearby stromal cells by a paracrine manner. In return, the stromal cells secreted IGF1 to regulate the growth of tumor cells. There is a need of Rarb expression in this interaction. Deletion of Rarb inhibits both wnt1/β-catenin signaling and IGF1/Akt axis in the myoepithelial tumor cells which results in the suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in these tumors. Since wnt1 tumors resemble basal-like breast cancer with a poor clinical prognosis in which EMT is one of the most important way for tumor cells to survive against standard treatment and to go to metastasis, we propose that (1) the stromal gene expression signature of Rarb ablation in wnt1 tumors could have some clinical value in predicting the breast cancer outcome; and (2) Rarb antagonist might be a potential therapeutic strategy in EMT-driven aggressive cancers such as basal-like breast cancer. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was performed to separate the mammary tumor samples into epithelial cell compartment and stromal cell compartment. Transcriptional profiling of the two compartments were investigated by microarray analysis.

Depletion of stromal cells expressing fibroblast activation protein-α from skeletal muscle and bone marrow results in cachexia and anemia

Project description:Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) identifies stromal cells of mesenchymal origin in human cancers and chronic inflammatory lesions. In mouse models of cancer, they have been shown to be immune suppressive, but studies of their occurrence and function in normal tissues have been limited. With a transgenic mouse line permitting the bioluminescent imaging of FAP(+) cells, we find that they reside in most tissues of the adult mouse. FAP(+) cells from three sites, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and pancreas, have highly similar transcriptomes, suggesting a shared lineage. FAP(+) cells of skeletal muscle are the major local source of follistatin, and in bone marrow they express Cxcl12 and KitL. Experimental ablation of these cells causes loss of muscle mass and a reduction of B-lymphopoiesis and erythropoiesis, revealing their essential functions in maintaining normal muscle mass and hematopoiesis, respectively. Remarkably, these cells are altered at these sites in transplantable and spontaneous mouse models of cancer-induced cachexia and anemia. Thus, the FAP(+) stromal cell may have roles in two adverse consequences of cancer: their acquisition by tumors may cause failure of immunosurveillance, and their alteration in normal tissues contributes to the paraneoplastic syndromes of cachexia and anemia.
