Gene expression profile of F4/80+ cells isolated from tumors implanted in wild type and St2-/- mouse

ABSTRACT: We report a novel mechanism of the interaction between perivascular cell and TAMs in promoting metastasis through the IL-33-ST2-dependent pathway. IL-33 was the highest up-regulated gene through activation of SOX7 transcription factor in PDGF-BB-stimulated pericytes. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments validate that IL-33 promotes metastasis through recruitment of TAMs. Il33-/- deficient mice showed impaired TAM recruitment and metastasis. Pharmacological inhibition of the IL-33-ST2 signalling by a soluble ST2 significantly inhibited TAMs and metastasis. Genetic deletion of host IL-33 in mice also blocked PDGF-BB-induced TAM recruitment and metastasis. High IL-33 in human cancers correlated with poor survival prognosis. These findings shed novel mechanisms of tumour stroma in promoting metastasis and have therapeutic implications for cancer therapy.

Gene expression profile of RAW264.7 monocytes treated with or without IL-33

Project description:Molecular mechanisms underlying the cancer stroma in metastasis is largely unknown. Here we show that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) produce high levels of IL-33 that acted on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to induce the M1 to M2 transition. Genome profiling of metastasis-related genes in the IL-33-stimulated TAMs showed a > 200-fold increase of metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9). Signaling analysis demonstrated the IL-33-ST2-NFkB-MMP9-laminin pathway that mediates cancer metastasis. In mouse and human fibroblast-rich pancreatic cancers, genetic deletion of IL-33, ST2 and MMP9 markedly blocked metastasis. Pharmacological inhibition of NFkB and MMP9 also blocked cancer metastasis. Deletion of IL-33, ST2 and MMP9 restored laminin, a key basement membrane component associated to tumor microvessels. Together, our data provide novel mechanistic insights on the IL-33-NFkB-MMP9-laminin axis that mediates the CAF-TAM-committed cancer metastasis. Thus, targeting the CAF-TAM-vessel interaction provides an outstanding therapeutic opportunity for cancer treatment.

Inflammatory cell-derived CXCL3 promotes pancreatic cancer metastasis through a novel myofibroblast-hijacked cancer escape mechanism

Project description:Objective: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal malignancy and lacks effective treatment. We aimed to understand molecular mechanisms of the intertwined interactions between tumor stromal components in metastasis and to provide a new paradigm for PDAC therapy. Design:Two unselected cohorts of 154 and 20 PDAC patients were subjected to correlation between IL-33 and CXCL3 levels and survivals. Unbiased expression profiling, and genetic and pharmacological gain- and loss-of-function approaches were employed to identify molecular signaling in TAMs and myoCAFs. The role of the IL-33-ST2-CXCL3-CXCR2 axis in PDAC metastasis was evaluated in 3 clinically relevant mouse PDAC models and in a zebrafish model. Results: IL-33 was specifically elevated in human PDACs and positively correlated with tumor inflammation in human PDAC patients. CXCL3 was highly upregulated in IL-33-stimulated macrophages that were the primary source of CXCL3. CXCL3 was correlated with poor survival in human PDAC patients. Mechanistically, activation of the IL-33-ST2-Myc pathway attributed to high CXCL3 production. The highest level of CXCL3 was found in PDAC relative to other cancer types and its receptor CXCR2 was almost exclusively expressed in CAFs. Activation of CXCR2 by CXCL3 induced a CAF-to-myoCAF transition and a-SMA was uniquely upregulated by the CXCL3-CXCR2 signaling. Type III collagen was identified as the CXCL3-CXCR2-targeted adhesive molecule responsible for myoCAF-driven PDAC metastasis. Conclusions: Our work provides novel mechanistic insights into understanding PDAC23 metastasis by the TAM-CAF interaction and targeting each of these signaling components would provide an attractive and new paradigm for treating pancreatic cancer.

Pericyte-fibroblast transition promotes tumor growth and metastasis

Project description:Vascular pericytes, an important cellular component, in the tumor microenvironment, are often associated with tumor vasculatures and their functions in cancer invasion and metastasis are poorly understood. Here we show that PDGF-BB induces pericyte fibroblast transition (designated as PFT), which significantly contributes to tumor invasion and metastasis. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrate that the PDGF-BB-PDGFRÎ² signaling promotes PFT in vitro and in in vivo tumors. Genome-wide expression analysis indicates that PDGF-BB-activated pericytes acquire mesenchymal progenitor features. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic deletion of PDGFRÎ² ablate the PDGF-BB-induced PFT. Genetic tracing of pericytes with two independent mouse strains, i.e., TN-AP-CreERT2:R26R-tdTomato and NG2:R26R-tdTomato, shows that PFT cells gains stromal fibroblast and myofibroblast markers in tumors. Importantly, co-implantation of PFT cells with less-invasive tumor cells in mice markedly promotes tumor dissemination and invasion, leading to an increased number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and metastasis. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of vascular pericytes in PDGF-BB-promoted cancer invasion and metastasis by inducing PFT and thus targeting PFT may offer a new treatment option of cancer metastasis. Pericytes were isolated and treated with PDGF-BB or control for 1 or 5 days

Dose-dependent dual roles of PDGF-BB–PDGFR-? in vascular remodeling and opposing effects of anti-PDGF drug-induced metastasis

Project description:Anti-PDGF agents are routinely used as a key component in front-line therapy for the treatment of various cancers. However, molecular mechanisms underlying their impact on vascular remodeling in relation to the dose issue remain poorly understood. Here we show that in high PDGF-BB-producing tumors, anti-PDGF drugs significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by preventing pericyte (PC) loss and vascular permeability. Surprisingly, the same anti-PDGF-BB drugs promoted tumor cell dissemination and metastasis in PDGF-BB-low-producing or negative tumors by ablating PCs from tumor vessels. At the molecular level, we show that the PDGFR-? signaling pathway in PCs mediated the opposing effects and persistent exposure of PCs to PDGF-BB led to marked downregulation of PDGFR-?. Inactivation of the PDGFR-? signaling system led to decreased levels of integrin ?1?1, resulted in impaired adhesion of PCs to collagen I, IV and laminin, two principal extracellular matrix components in blood vessels for interaction with these integrins. Our data suggest that tumor PDGF-BB levels may serve as an important biomarker for selection of tumor-bearing hosts for beneficial therapy and unsupervised practice of this group of drugs could potentially promote tumor invasion and metastasis. Pericytes were isolated and treated with PDGF-BB or control for 5 days.

RNA-Sequencing of ST2+ Treg cells in response to IL-33 stimulation

Project description:The effects of IL-33 on ST2+ Treg cells were not studied thouroughly. We FACS-sorted in vitro expanded ST2+ Treg cells from C57BL/6 Foxp3-IRES-mRFP (B6 FIR) mice. We next used RNA-seq techonology to define how recombinant IL-33 (rIL-33) may impact mouse Treg by to assessing the transcriptome of IL-33-stimulated ST2+ Treg cells compared to that of untreated ST2+ Treg cells. Our data revealed that ST2+ Treg stimulated with rIL-33 for 6 hours exhibited increased expression of Il10 and Il13 compared to unstimulated ST2+ Treg cells.

Oligodendrocyte-derived IL-33 functions as a microglial survival factor during neuroinvasive flavivirus infection

Project description:In order to recover from infection, organisms must balance robust immune responses to pathogens with the tolerance of immune-mediated pathology. This balance is particularly critical within the central nervous system, whose complex architecture, essential function, and limited capacity for self-renewal render it susceptible to both pathogen- and immune-mediated pathology. Here, we identify the alarmin IL-33 and its receptor ST2 as critical for host survival to neuroinvasive flavivirus infection. We identify oligodendrocytes as the critical source of IL-33, and microglia as the key cellular responders. Notably, we find that the IL-33/ST2 axis does not impact viral control or adaptive immune responses; rather, it is required to promote the activation and survival of microglia. In the absence of intact IL-33/ST2 signaling in the brain, neuroinvasive flavivirus infection triggered aberrant recruitment of monocyte-derived peripheral immune cells, increased neuronal stress, and neuronal cell death, effects that compromised organismal survival. These findings identify IL-33 as a critical mediator of CNS tolerance to pathogen-initiated immunity and inflammation.

Macrophages reprogramming improves immunotherapy of IL-33 in peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer

Project description:Peritoneal metastasis (PM) has a suppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which limits the effects of immunotherapy. This study aims to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of intraperitoneal administration of IL-33 on PM-associated TIME. Immunocompetent mice were used to investigate the role of IL-33 in development of abdominal dissemination and host outcome. Murine (m) and human (h) gastric cancer cells were tested for their response to IL-33 by qRT-PCR, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. Survival was significantly prolonged in patients with high Il-33 mRNA expression. Intraperitoneal administration of IL-33 could induce the celiac inflammatory environment, activate immunologic effector cells and reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which delayed tumor progression and peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. Mechanistically, IL-33 could induce M2 polarization by activating p38-GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) signaling pathway. IL-33 combined with anti-CSF1R or p38 inhibitor to regulate tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) showed synergistic anti-tumor effect. Intraperitoneal administration of IL-33 inducing local inflammatory milieu provided a novel approach for the treatment of metastatic peritoneal malignancies, which combined with TAMs reprogramming to reshape TIME could achieve better treatment efficacy.

The alarmin IL-33 amplifies an immune response in the degenerating retina

Project description:ST2 heterodimerizes with IL-1RAcp to form the receptor for IL-33, which is primarily associated with allergic inflammation by inducing Th2 responses. Recently, however, IL-33 was found to be expressed in the central nervous system and in retinal Muller cells which imply functions, as yet undescribed, beyond Th2 mediated inflammation. Muller cells support the health of the retina and photoreceptors and are also involved in inflammation in retinal degeneration. It is not known how IL-33/ST2 functions in this capacity. We recently found that ST2 ko mice are protected from CLE-induced photoreceptor loss, implying a detrimental effect of IL33/ST2 in CLE. We wish to perform microarray analysis using WT and ST2 KO mice in CLE model to better understand the mechanism by which IL-33/ST2 regulates retinal degeneration.
