NFE2-driven neutrophil polarization promotes pancreatic cancer liver metastasis progression

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer liver metastasis (PCLM) is an important factor leading to dismal prognosis. The adaptive remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME), especially the role of neutrophil in liver metastasis remains elusive. Here we combined single-cell sequencing combined with spatial transcriptomics on patients’ samples to characterize the landscape of PCLM, and explored the functional diversity possessed by neutrophils infiltrated in liver metastases. We identified the pivotal Neutrophils_S100A12 cluster capable of promoting metastatic progression by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs); spatially, Neutrophils_S100A12 cells are specifically distributed at the invasive front of the metastatic lesions. Mechanistically metastatic TME activates canonical TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling within neutrophil, resulting in NFE2-mediated phenotypic polarization; furthermore NFE2 induces NETs generation by up-regulating PADI4 expression. Interference with NFE2 activation in neutrophils prevents phenotypic conversion and reduces liver metastasis. Our data demonstrate that NFE2-mediated neutrophil polarization in PCLM is a potential target for anti-metastatic therapy.

Immature low-density neutrophils exhibit metabolic flexibility that facilitates breast cancer liver metastasis

Project description:Neutrophils play a key role in the control of metastatic progression. Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and can exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions. Here, we demonstrate that tumor cells capable of forming liver metastases induce an accumulation of neutrophils in the peripheral blood and liver parenchyma. Cancer cell-derived G-CSF, in concert with other factors, mobilizes immature low-density neutrophils that promote liver metastasis. In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver metastases. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of high- and low- density neutrophils reveal engagement of numerous metabolic pathways specifically in low-density neutrophils. Low-density neutrophils exhibit enhanced global bioenergetic capacity, through their ability to engage mitochondrial-dependent ATP production, and remain capable of executing pro-metastatic neutrophil functions, including NETosis, under nutrient-deprived conditions. Together, these data reveal that distinct pro-metastatic neutrophil populations exhibit a high degree of metabolic flexibility, which facilitates metastatic progression and the formation of liver metastases.

FGF19 induces the inflammatory phenotype of LX-2 cells

Project description:Liver metastasis is the main cause of death for human colorectal cancer (CRC), thus effective biomarkers and therapeutic target of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) are urgently needed. Here, we report that FGF19 mediated the polarization of hepatic stellate cells to inflammatory CAFs by activating the autocrine effect of IL-1α via JAK2-STAT3 pathway. FGF19-induced iCAFs produced complement C5a and IL-1β to enhance neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation in liver metastases, which in turn accelerated the liver colonization of CRC cells.

Single-cell gene expression analysis of neutrophils from mouse tumors with and without microbial treatment

Project description:We conducted single-cell gene expression analysis of neutrophils from mouse tumors with and without microbial treatment to investigate neutrophil response in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Briefly, tumor-infiltrating Ly6G+CD11b+ neutrophils were isolated from unmanipulated tumors (resting), tumors treated with a vehicle control (control), and tumors treated with S. aureus bioparticles (stimulated) 24 hours after treatment. To survey the whole spectrum of the TME, we also isolated and sequenced non-neutrophil leukocytes in each sample.

Neutrophils Resist Ferroptosis and Promote Breast Cancer Metastasis through Aconitate Decarboxylase 1

Project description:Lung metastasis is the principal cause of breast cancer-related mortality. Neutrophils have emerged as an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), supporting tumor proliferation and mediating immunosuppression. Here, we show that aconitate decarboxylase 1 (Acod1) is highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils and promotes breast cancer lung metastasis by supporting neutrophil survival in the TME. Acod1 expression is regulated by tumor-derived granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) transcription factor activity. Acod1 loss in tumor-infiltrating neutrophils leads to ferroptosis-like cell death, resulting in decreased frequency of neutrophils in the TME. Mechanistically, itaconate, the product of Acod1, activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), resulting in upregulated antioxidant responses and decreased lipid-reactive oxygen species. Genetical deletion of Acod1 in neutrophils suppresses lung metastasis of breast cancer in mouse models by decreasing neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and elevating cytotoxic T cell response. Importantly, genetic targeting of Acod1 enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade. Overall, our findings reveal a mechanism of how immunosuppressive neutrophils survive in the harsh TME and support Acod1-targeting approaches for cancer treatment.

Multi-parametric atlas of the pre-metastatic liver for prediction of metastatic outcome in early-stage pancreatic cancer

Project description:Metastasis occurs frequently after resection of pancreatic cancer (PC). We hypothesized that multiparametric analysis of pre-metastatic liver biopsies will classify patients according to their metastatic risk, timing, and organ site. Liver biopsies obtained during pancreatectomy from 49 patients with localized PC and 18 control patients with non-cancerous pancreatic lesions were analyzed combining metabolomic, tissue and single cell transcriptomics, and multiplex imaging approaches. Patients were followed prospectively (median three years) and classified into four recurrence groups; early (<6 months post resection) or late (>6 months post resection) liver metastasis (LM), extrahepatic (EH) metastasis, and disease-free survivors (NED). Overall, PC livers exhibited signs of augmented inflammation, compared to controls. Enrichment of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), Ki-67 upregulation, and decreased liver creatine significantly distinguished those with future metastasis from NED. Patients with future LM were characterized by scant T cell lobular infiltration, less steatosis, and higher levels of citrullinated H3, compared to patients who developed EH metastasis, who had overexpression of interferon target genes (MX1, NR1D1) and an increase of CD11B+ NK cells. Upregulation of sortilin-1 and prominent NETs, together with the lack of T cells and a reduction in CD11B+ NK cells, differentiated patients with early-onset from those with late-onset LM. Liver profiles of NED closely resembled those of controls. Using the above parameters, a machine learning-based model was developed that successfully predicted the metastatic outcome at the time of surgery with 78% accuracy. Therefore, multiparametric profiling of liver biopsies at the time of PC diagnosis may determine metastatic risk and organotropism, and guide clinical stratification for optimal treatment selection.

Multiparametric atlas of the pre-metastatic liver for prediction of metastatic outcome in early-stage pancreatic cancer

Project description:Metastasis occurs frequently after resection of pancreatic cancer (PaC). We hypothesized that multiparametric analysis of pre-metastatic liver biopsies will classify patients according to their metastatic risk, timing, and organ site. Liver biopsies obtained during pancreatectomy from 49 patients with localized PaC and 19 control patients with non-cancerous pancreatic lesions were analyzed combining metabolomic, tissue and single cell transcriptomics, and multiplex imaging approaches. Patients were followed prospectively (median three years) and classified into four recurrence groups; early (<6 months post resection) or late (>6 months post resection) liver metastasis (LiM), extrahepatic (EHM) metastasis, and disease-free survivors (NED). Overall, PaC livers exhibited signs of augmented inflammation, compared to controls. Enrichment of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), Ki-67 upregulation, and decreased liver creatine significantly distinguished those with future metastasis from NED. Patients with future LiM were characterized by scant T cell lobular infiltration, less steatosis, and higher levels of citrullinated H3, compared to patients who developed EHM metastasis, who had overexpression of interferon target genes (MX1, NR1D1) and an increase of CD11B+ NK cells. Upregulation of sortilin-1 and prominent NETs, together with the lack of T cells and a reduction in CD11B+ NK cells, differentiated patients with early-onset from those with late-onset LiM.

Cholestasis-induced neutrophil phenotypic transformation contributes to the immune escape of colorectal liver metastasis

Project description:Cholestasis, a serious complication of liver metastasis (LM), contributes to dismal prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer and LM. However, the mechanism underlying the effect of cholestasis on the development of LM or pre-metastatic microenvironment in the liver remains elusive. In this study, we discovered that cholestasis accelerated the progression of LM and is associated with increased neutrophil infiltration, T-cell exclusion, and exhaustion. Besides, Tβ-MCA and GCA promoted the expression of Arg1 and iNOS in neutrophils via the p38/MAPK signaling pathway. The significant suppression of the activation and cytotoxic effects of CD8+ T cells during co-culture with BA-pretreated neutrophils indicated that BAs directly induce the polarization of immunosuppressive neutrophils. Importantly, targeting BA anabolism with Obeticholic acid effectively suppressed the LM of colorectal cancer in a cholestasis mouse model. Our findings suggest that cholestasis, associated with the failure to achieve drainage of primary BAs, accelerates the progression of LM by remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment. Moreover, targeting BA anabolism with OCA may represent a therapeutic strategy for cholestasis-associated LM of colorectal cancer.

Human lupus netting neutrophils induce endothelial damage, infiltrate tissues and expose immunostimulatory molecules

Project description:Our group has proposed that low-density granulocytes (LDGs) play an important role in lupus pathogenesis, as they can damage endothelial cells and synthesize increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. LDGs have a heightened capacity to synthesize neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs from LDGs display increased levels of bactericidal and immunostimulatory proteins, such as the cathelicidin LL37 and externalize double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Lupus netting LDGs have increased capacity to kill endothelial cells and expose IL-17. Through NETosis, lupus neutrophils stimulate plasmacytoid DCs to synthesize IFN-?. Our results further expand the potential pathogenic role of aberrant lupus neutrophils through a NET-mediated effect. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression of neutrophils in healthy and lupus patients, and of low-density granulocytes in lupus patients. Human neutrophils and LDGs were isolated from PBMCs. RNA from healthy neutrophils, lupus neutrophils and lupus LDGs was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Single-cell RNA-seq of UTCαβ population in sarcoma mice models

Project description:Neutrophils represent a fundamental mechanism of antimicrobial resistance and inflammation 1. Moreover, neutrophils have emerged as important players in the activation, orchestration and regulation of adaptive immune responses2,3. Neutrophils are a component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and have been prevalently shown to promote progression 4-6. On the other hand, unleashed neutrophilic effectors have also been reported to mediate anti-cancer resistance7-11. Antibody-mediated depletion used to investigate the role of neutrophils in tumor progression suffers from limitations, including duration, specificity and perturbation of the system12. We therefore used a genetic approach to investigate the role of neutrophils in primary 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MCA)-induced sarcomagenesis. Neutrophils were found to play an essential role in resistance against primary carcinogenesis by driving an interferon-γ dependent type 1 immune response. Neutrophil-dependent macrophage production of IL-12p70 led to type 1 polarization of CD4- CD8- unconventional αβ T cells (UTCαβ) in the TME. Single cell RNAseq analysis and in vivo evidence from two preclinical sarcoma models highlight the antitumor potential of a UTCαβ subset. In the TCGA cohort of human undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS), unlike other sarcomas, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF3R) expression and a neutrophil signature were associated with better outcome and with a type 1 immune response. The positive association between high neutrophil infiltration and improved clinical outcome was confirmed in an independent UPS cohort by immunohistochemistry. Thus, neutrophils, by driving a type 1 immune response and polarization of UTCαβ, mediate resistance against murine and human sarcomas.
