Gene expression profiling defines ATP as a key regulator of human dendritic cell functions

ABSTRACT: Extracellular ATP and PGE2 are two cAMP-elevating agents inducing semi-maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). We have extensively compared the gene expression profiles induced by ATPγS and PGE2 in human MoDCs using microarray technology. At 6 h of stimulation, ATPγS initiated an impressive expression profile compared to that of PGE2 (1125 genes compared to 133 genes respectively) but after 24 h, the number of genes regulated by ATPγS or PGE2 was more comparable. Many target genes involved in inflammation have been identified and validated by quantitative RT-PCR experiments. We have then focused on novel ATPγS and PGE2 target genes in MoDCs including colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), MCP-4/CCL13 chemokine, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) and neuropilin-1 (NRP-1). ATPγS strongly down-regulated CSF-1 receptor mRNA and CSF-1 secretion which are involved in monocyte and DC differentiation. Additionally, ATPγS down-regulated several chemokines involved in monocyte and DC migration including CCL2/MCP-1, CCL3/MIP-1alpha, CCL4/MIP-1beta, CCL8/MCP-2 and CCL13/MCP-4. Interestingly, VEGF-A – a major angiogenic factor displaying immunosuppressive properties - was secreted by MoDCs in response to ATPγS, ATP or PGE2, alone or in synergy with LPS. Finally flow cytometry experiments have demonstrated that ATPγS, ATP and PGE2 down-regulate NRP-1, a receptor playing inter alia an important role in the activation of T lymphocytes by DCs. Our data give an extensive overview of the genes regulated by ATPγS and PGE2 in MoDCs and an important insight into the therapeutic potential of ATP- and PGE2-treated human DCs.

Project description:A major contributor to cancer mortality is recurrence and subsequent metastatic transformation following therapeutic intervention. In order to develop new treatment modalities or improve the efficacy of current ones it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms that promote therapy-resistance to cancer cells. One pathway that has been demonstrated to therapy resistance is autophagy, a self-digestive process that can eliminate unnecessary or damaged organelles to protect cancer cells from necrosis. Effective targeting of this pathway could lead to the development of new therapies. In our studies, we found that the VEGF-C/NRP-2 axis is involved in the activation of autophagy, which is essential for the survival of cancer cells following chemotherapy treatment. Furthermore, we identified two VEGF-C/NRP-2-regulated genes, LAMP-2 and WDFY-1 that have previously been suggested to participate in autophagy and vesicular trafficking. The upregulation of WDFY-1 upon depleted level of VEGF-C contributed to cytotoxic drug-mediated cell death. Altogether, these data suggest a link between VEGF-C/neuropilin-2 axis and cancer cell survival despite the presence of chemotherapy-induced stress. Human prostate cancer cell lines PC3, Du145 and pancreatic cancer cell line CaPan1 were cultured at 37οC either in RPMI 1640 with L-glutamine or in DMEM media with 10% fetal bovine serum and supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin. PC3 stable transfected cell line was growing in presence of 1µg/ml puromycin selection pressure. Cells were transfected with SmartPool cocktail siRNA for NRP-2, VEGF-C, LAMP-2, and WDFY-1, using DharmaFECT 1-4. siRNA transfection was allowed to proceed 72 h before collection of whole-cell extract or total RNA.To identify potential pathways involved in this VEGF-C-mediated cell survival, we performed a microarray study comparing cells depleted in either VEGF-C or NRP-2 using SmartPool siRNA to PC-3 cells treated with scrambled siRNA. Upon comparison of the two data sets, we found 34 gene-tags that were commonly up- or down-regulated in both NRP-2- and VEGF-C-depleted cells.
