Project description:Hypoxic microenvironment activates GLI2 through synergistic action of TGF-β2 and HIF-1α to confer chemoresistance and poor clinical outcome in colorectal cancer [IlluminaExpr_1_CAF_NF]

Project description:Microenvironment has been suggested as an important factor contributing to how the colorectal cancer cells escape therapy, but the exact mechanism leading to chemoresistance remains elusive. Here, through modeling in vitro by cocultivation of patient-derived cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) with cancer stem cells (CSCs), we show that CAFs-secreted TGF-β2 is a key stromal factor that coordinates with hypoxia to promote CSC stemness and resistance to chemotherapy. GLI2, a key transcription factor of Hedgehog pathway, was identified as both necessary and sufficient in this process in which TGF-β and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) synergize to directly induce GLI2 expression. Conversely, CSC-secreted TGF-β is also important to support the growth of CAFs but instead induce death of normal fibroblasts, suggesting a reciprocal mechanism to selectively support the CAF-CSC interaction. Small molecule inhibition of both TGF-β and GLI2 effectively reversed the chemoresistance. Finally, expression of TGFB2/HIF1A/GLI2 gene signature as a functional readout of this resistance pathway defines worse clinical outcomes and predicts patients relapse. Our observations uncover a key role of TGF-β/HIF-1α/GLI2 in microenvironment-mediated chemoresistance and reveal novel biomarker and targeting strategies to identify and treat the high risk CRC patients.

Project description:Increased levels of hypoxia and hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in human sarcomas correlate with tumor progression and radiation resistance. Prolonged anti-angiogenic therapy of tumors can delay tumor growth but may also increase hypoxia and HIF-1α activity. In our recent clinical trial, treatment with the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) antibody, bevacizumab, followed by a combination of bevacizumab and radiation led to near complete necrosis in nearly half of sarcomas. Gene set enrichment analysis of microarrays from pre-treatment biopsies found the Gene Ontology category “Response to hypoxia” was upregulated in poor responders, and hierarchical clustering based on 140 hypoxia-responsive genes separated poor responders from good responders. The most commonly used chemotherapeutic drug for sarcomas, doxorubicin (Dox), was recently found to block HIF-1α binding to DNA at low metronomic doses. We thus examined Dox treatment in 4 sarcoma cell lines, and found Dox at low concentrations (1-10 uM) blocked HIF-1α induction of VEGF-A by 84-97%, while inhibition of other HIF-1α-target genes including CA9, c-Met and FOXM1 was variable. HT1080 sarcoma xenografts had increased hypoxia and/or HIF-1α activity with increasing tumor size and with anti-VEGF receptor antibody (DC101) treatment. Combining DC101 and metronomic Dox had a synergistic effect in suppressing growth of HT1080 xenografts, primarily via induction of tumor endothelial cell apoptosis. In conclusion, sarcomas respond to increased hypoxia by expressing HIF-1α-target genes which may promote resistance to anti-angiogenic and other therapies. Metronomic Dox can block HIF-1α activation of target genes and works synergistically with anti-VEGF therapy to inhibit sarcomas. Pre-treatment biopsies were collected from 16 human sarcoma. The gene expression analysis was performed using Illumina platform.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors supporting bone marrow hematopoiesis. MSC have an efficient DNA damage response (DDR) and are consequently reatively radio-resistant cells. Therefore, MSCs are key to hematopoietic reconstitution following total body irradiation (TBI) and bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The bone marrow niche is hypoxic and via the heterodimeric transcription factor Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (Hif-1), hypoxia enhances the DDR. Using gene knock-down, we have previously shown that the Hif-1α subunit of Hif is involved in MSC radio-resistance, however its exact mechanism of action remains unknown. In order to dissect the involvement of Hif-1α in the DDR, we have generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a stable MS5 mouse MSC cell line lacking Hif-1 expression. Herein, we show that it is the whole Hif-1 transcription factor, and not only the Hif-1α subunit, that modulates the DDR of mouse MSCs, and that this effect is dependent upon the integrity of the DNA binding domain. We have also characterized the Hif-1α-dependent proteomic changes undergone by hypoxic MS5 cells. These findings have important implications for the modulation of MSC radio-resistance in the context of BMT and cancer.

Project description:Chemotherapy resistant prostate cancer is a major clinical problem. When the prostate cancer has become androgen deprivation resistant, one of the few treatment regimens left is chemotherapy. There is a strong connection between a cancer’s stem cell like characteristics and drug resistance. By performing RNA-seq we observed several factors associated with stem cells being strongly up-regulated by the estrogen receptor β variants, β2 and β5. In addition, most of these factors were also up-regulated by hypoxia. One mechanism of chemotherapy resistance was expression of the hypoxia-regulated, drug transporter genes, where especially ABCG2 and MDR1 were shown to be expressed in recurrent prostate cancer and to cause chemotherapy resistance by efficiently transporting drugs like docetaxel out of the cells. Another mechanism was expression of the hypoxia-regulated notch3 gene, which causes chemotherapy resistance in urothelial carcinoma, although the mechanism is unknown. It is well known that hypoxic signaling is involved in increasing chemotherapy resistance. Regulation of the hypoxic factors, HIF-1α and HIF-2α is very complex and extends far beyond hypoxia itself. We have recently shown that two of the estrogen receptor β variants, estrogen receptor β2 and β5, bind to and stabilize both HIF-1α and HIF-2α proteins leading to expression of HIF target genes. This study suggests that increased expression of the estrogen receptor β variants, β2 and β5, could be involved in development of a cancer’s stem cell characteristics and chemotherapy resistance, indicating that targeting these factors could prevent or reverse chemotherapy resistance and cancer stem cell expansion.
