Project description:Tumor microenvironment (TME) is an active player in malignant growth and spread. Changes in the composition and structure of TME and extracellular matrix can result in either suppression or facilitation of malignant tumor growth. Carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts, bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (BMMSCs), tumor associated macrophages and other inflammatory cells all affect the composition of TME, proliferation and survival of cancer cells, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of the interaction between bone marrow-derived BMMSCs and human oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) cells in the processes of invasion and gene expression. Co-cultures of OTSCC cancer cells and BMMSCs in 3D organotypic invasion assay were used in addition to cell culture, immunological, microarray, and RNA interference techniques. Total number of 4 samples were analyzed. 2 replicates of cultured human oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) cells, and 2 replicates of OTSCC cells co-cultured with bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells

Project description:Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most fatal form of lung cancer. Intra-tumoral heterogeneity, marked by neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) cell states, defines SCLC, but the drivers of SCLC plasticity are poorly understood. To map the landscape of SCLC tumor microenvironment (TME), we apply spatially resolved transcriptomics and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to metastatic SCLC tumors obtained via rapid autopsy. The phenotype and overall composition of non-malignant cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits substantial variability, closely mirroring the tumor phenotype, suggesting TME-driven reprogramming of NE cell states. We identify cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) as a crucial element of SCLC TME heterogeneity, contributing to immune exclusion, and predicting an exceptionally poor prognosis. Together, our work provides the first comprehensive map of SCLC tumor and TME ecosystems, emphasizing their pivotal role in SCLCs adaptable nature, opening possibilities for re-programming the intercellular communications that shape SCLC tumor states.

Modeling invasion of metastasizing cancer cells to bone marrow utilizing ecological principles
Kun-Wan Chen, Kenneth J Pienta
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling 2011, 8:36
Abstract:
Background: The invasion of a new species into an established ecosystem can be directly compared to the steps involved in cancer metastasis. Cancer must grow in a primary site, extravasate and survive in the circulation to then intravasate into target organ (invasive species survival in transport). Cancer cells often lay dormant at their metastatic site for a long period of time (lag period for invasive species) before proliferating (invasive spread). Proliferation in the new site has an impact on the target organ microenvironment (ecological impact) and eventually the human host (biosphere impact).
Results: Tilman has described mathematical equations for the competition between invasive species in a structured habitat. These equations were adapted to study the invasion of cancer cells into the bone marrow microenvironment as a structured habitat. A large proportion of solid tumor metastases are bone metastases, known to usurp hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) homing pathways to establish footholds in the bone marrow. This required accounting for the fact that this is the natural home of hematopoietic stem cells and that they already occupy this structured space. The adapted Tilman model of invasion dynamics is especially valuable for modeling the lag period or dormancy of cancer cells.
Conclusions: The Tilman equations for modeling the invasion of two species into a defined space have been modified to study the invasion of cancer cells into the bone marrow microenvironment. These modified equations allow a more flexible way to model the space competition between the two cell species. The ability to model initial density, metastatic seeding into the bone marrow and growth once the cells are present, and movement of cells out of the bone marrow niche and apoptosis of cells are all aspects of the adapted equations. These equations are currently being applied to clinical data sets for verification and further refinement of the models.

Project description:Malignant gliomas are common and aggressive primary brain tumors which are incurable by conventional therapies. Immunotherapy with the immune checkpoint inhibitors is not effective due to the highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Clinical and experimental data show upregulation of Arginase1 (ARG1) expression in rodent and human malignant gliomas. The elevated ARG1 activity leads to depletion of L-arginine required for proliferation of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. Inhibition of ARG1 in TME may unblock T cell proliferation and activate effective antitumor responses. To explore an antitumor potential of ARG1 inhibition, first we analyzed bulk and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from human and murine gliomas, and found upregulation of ARG1 expression in malignant gliomas, both in tumor cells and in tumor infiltrating microglia, monocytes/macrophages. We employed the novel, selective arginase inhibitor - OAT-1746 to interfere with microglia-induced glioma invasion in microglia-glioma co-cultures. We determined its antitumor efficacy as a monotherapy and in combination with immunotherapy. In a Matrigel invasion assay OAT-1746 blocked microglia-dependent invasion of U87-MG and LN18 glioma cells better than reference compounds, without affecting cell viability. OAT-1746 effectively crossed the BBB and increased arginine levels in brains of GL261 glioma bearing mice. The compound reduced glioma growth and increased antitumor effects of the anti-PD-1 antibody. Treatment with OAT-1746 modified TME as demonstrated by profound transcriptomic changes visualized by RNA sequencing. Our findings provide the evidence that inhibition of ARG1 in tumor cells and myeloid cells in TME abolishes the immunosuppressive reprograming of myeloid cells and improves the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Project description:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Unlike many other cancers, MPM is mostly characterized by inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Its highly malignant nature in absence of tumor driving oncogene mutations indicates an extrinsic supply of stimulating signals by cells of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an abundant cell type of the TME and have been shown to drive the progression of several cancer types. The aim of the current study was to isolate and characterize patient-derived mesothelioma-associated fibroblasts (Meso-CAFs), and evaluate their impact on MPM cells.

Project description:Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancy in women worldwide. It is characterized by a natural continuous phenomenon, that is, it is in the initial stage of HPV infection, progresses to intraepithelial neoplasia, and then develops into invasion and metastasis. Determining the complexity of tumor microenvironment (TME) can deepen our understanding of lesion progression and provide novel therapeutic strategies for CC. We performed the single-cell RNA sequencing on the normal cervix, intraepithelial neoplasia, primary tumor and metastatic lymph node tissues to describe the composition, lineage, and functional status of immune cells and mesenchymal cells at different stages of CC progression. A total of 59913 single cells were obtained and divided into 9 cellular clusters, including immune cells (T/NK cells, macrophages, B cells, plasma cells, mast cells and neutrophils) and mesenchymal cells (endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts). Our results showed that there were distinct cell subpopulations in different stages of CC. High-stage intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL) tissue exhibited a low, recently activated TME, and it was characterized by high infiltration of tissue-resident CD8 T cell, effector NK cells, Treg, DC1, pDC, and M1-like macrophages. Tumor tissue displayed high enrichment of exhausted CD8 T cells, resident NK cells and M2-like macrophages, suggesting immunosuppressive TME. Metastatic lymph node consisted of naive T cell, central memory T cell, circling NK cells, cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and effector memory CD8 T cells, suggesting an early activated phase of immune response. This study is the first to delineate the transcriptome profile of immune cells during CC progression using single-cell RNA sequencing. Our results indicated that HSIL exhibited a low, recently activated TME, tumor displayed immunosuppressive statue, and metastatic lymph node showed early activated phase of immune response. Our study enhanced the understanding of dynamic change of TME during CC progression and has implications for the development of novel treatments to inhibit the initiation and progression of CC.

Project description:Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is an aggressive Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoma with heterogeneous tumor behaviors and clinical outcomes. Here, we profiled tumor microenvironment (TME) of NKTCL through single-cell transcriptome analysis of 137,304 cells from 10 tumor-blood pairs. We identified six malignant subtypes with diverse transcriptional signatures, among which LMP1+ NK_C9_CXCL13 was characterized with oncogenic and immunosuppressive potentials as well as an axial role in malignant transformation. Moreover, ligand-receptor analyses and multiplex immunofluorescent staining assays revealed intensive interactions among malignant NK, tumoral myeloid, and T cells, fostering immunosuppressive TME in NKTCL. Furthermore, co-culture assays revealed that malignant cells induced the development of immunosuppressive and pro-tumorigenic tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) through high expression of CSF1 and hampered the recruitment of normal NK cells through broad secretion of a dipeptidylpeptidase DPP4 in NKTCL. Lastly, we revealed the inter-patient heterogeneity of NKTCL with distinct EBV transcription and TAM infiltration in multiple patient cohorts, of which high and low were favorable prognostic indicators for NKTCL patients, respectively. Collectively, for the first time to our knowledge, our study dissects the heterogeneous composition of NKTCL TME at single-cell resolution, which provides insights into understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of NKTCL and developing novel therapeutic strategies against NKTCL.

Project description:Acute rejection remains an important risk factor affecting the survival of recipients following transplantation. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are used in the treatment of organ transplantation due to their immunomodulatory ability. BMMSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow and modified with the adenovirus for heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) gene. Saline solution, BMMSCs or HO-1/BMMSCs were perfused into the donor liver in vitro using a normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) system, followed by liver transplantation. The liver grafts were collected at 7 days post-transplantation. Gene chip technology was used to detect differential gene expression.
