Project description:Despite accumulating cases of radiotherapy-induced abscopal effect in the lung cancer with the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the occurrence of this effect remains infrequent and unpredictable to be a therapeutic goal. Here, we showed that the combination of radiotherapy (8Gy*3F) and ICI alleviated the tumor burden at the irradiated site whereas no discernible benefit was observed in the abscopal tumors. RNA-sequencing data showed that extracellular structure organization pathways were enriched in the abscopal tumors after combined therapy, with Sfrp2 being identified as a central hub. SFRP2 expression was observed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and was elevated in abscopal tumors after combined therapy. Blockade of SFRP2 followed by combined radiotherapy and ICI reinvigorated infiltration and cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells, and elicited regression of abscopal tumors, which was abrogated by CD8α depletion. Mechanistically, in vitro experiments demonstrated that SFRP2+ CAFs induced apoptosis of CD8+ T cells. The spatial transcriptome analysis showed that SFRP2+ CAFs were located in proximity to the vessels and surrounded by abundant macrophages and limited CD8Tex, thereby creating an immunosuppressive perivascular niche, which was validated in paraffin sections of human lung cancer. Lineage-tracing assays showed SFRP2+ CAFs were derived from pericytes. IGF-1 released by irradiated tumors facilitated the transition of pericytes into fibroblasts and stimulated the expression of SFRP2. In summary, SFRP2+ CAFs hijack the abscopal effect from combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy via inducing apoptosis of CD8+ T cells and orchestrating a hostile perivascular niche in the lung cancer. Targeting SFRP2+ CAF may recondition the TME and promote the abscopal effect.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a characteristically dense stroma comprised predominantly of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs promote tumor growth, metastasis and treatment resistance. We aimed to investigate the molecular changes and functional consequences associated with chemotherapy treatment of PDAC CAFs. Chemoresistant immortalized CAFs (R-CAFs) were generated by continuous incubation in 100nM gemcitabine. Gene expression differences between treatment naïve CAFs (N-CAFs) and R-CAFs were compared by array analysis. Immortalized human pancreatic CAFs were grown for 30 days in either control media or media containing 100nM gemcitabine. RNA was then isolated and hybidized on U133 Plus 2.0 Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, which causes great health damage and economic burden to patients. The pathogenesis of DFU is not fully understood.We screened wound healing-related genes using bioinformatics analysis, and full-thickness skin injury mice model and cellular assays were used to explore the role of target genes in diabetic wound healing. SFRP2 was identified as a wound healing-related gene, and the expression of SFRP2 is associated with immune cell infiltration in DFU. In vivo study showed that suppression of SFRP2 delayed the wound healing process of diabetic mice, impeded angiogenesis and matrix remodeling, and increased macrophage infiltration in wound tissues. In addition, suppression of SFRP2 enhanced M1 polarization in both the early and later stage of wound healing, and decreased M2 polarization in the later stage, which impeded the transition of M1 to M2 polarization of wound healing. Moreover, suppression of SFRP2 affected the transcriptome signatures-related to inflammatory response and energy metabolism at the early stage of wound healing. Extracellular flux analysis (EFA) showed that suppression of SFRP2 decreased mitochondrial energy metabolism and increased glycolysis in injury-related macrophages. Furthermore, suppression of SFRP2 inhibited transcriptome signaturesrelated to carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism, which consists the three main components of energy metabolism of macrophages. In conclusions, SFRP2 may function as a wound healing-related gene in DFU, and suppression of SFRP2 impaired diabetic wound healing by compromising the M1-to-M2 transition of macrophages and modulating the balance between mitochondrial energy metabolism and glycolysis.

Project description:Abstract: Prostate cancer bone metastasis is still one of the most fatal cancer diagnosis for men. Survival of the circulating prostate tumor cells and their adaptation strategy to survive in the bone niche is the key point to determining metastasis in early cancer stages. The promoter of SFRP2, a WNT signaling regulator, is hypermethylated in many cancer types including prostate cancer. Moreover, SFRP2 can positively modulate osteogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Here, we showed SFRP2 overexpression in the prostate cancer cell line PC3 induces an epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), increases the attachment, and modifies the transcriptome towards an osteoblast-like phenotype (osteomimicry) in a collagen 1‑dependent manner. Our data reflects a novel molecular mechanism how metastasizing prostate cancer cells might increase their chance to survive within bone tissue.

Project description:Histotripsy is a novel focused ultrasound tumor ablation modality with potent immunostimulatory effects. To measure the spatiotemporal kinetics of local and abscopal responses to histotripsy, C57BL/6 mice bearing bilateral flank B16 melanoma or Hepa1-6 hepatocellular carcinoma tumors were treated with unilateral sham or partial histotripsy. Treated and Controltralateral untreated (abscopal) tumors were analyzed using multicolor immunofluorescence, digital spatial profiling, RNA sequencing (RNASeq), and flow cytometry.

Project description:Radiation therapy is a mainstay of cancer treatment, with more than 50% of all cancer patients receiving radiation during the course of their disease. Tumor irradiation can activate both innate and adaptive immune responses, and these responses can be pro- or anti-tumor growth . These observations have led to the search for antitumor approaches combining radiotherapy and specific immunotherapies, most commonly strategies promoting the systemic activation of T cells. Thus far, however, many cancer patients still suffer from local recurrence and/or untreatable metastatic disease after radiotherapy. Here we combine radiotherapy with activation of macrophage-mediated phagocytosis via blockade of the ?don?t-eat-me? cell surface molecule CD47 in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), a highly metastatic form of lung cancer for which treatment options remain limited. We found that irradiation of SCLC cells in culture results in the secretion of inflammatory cytokines that results in increased migration and phagocytosis by macrophages. In vivo, CD47 blockade potently enhances the local antitumor effects of radiation therapy in murine and human pre-clinical models of SCLC. Strikingly, CD47 blockade also stimulates abscopal antitumor effects inhibiting the growth of non-irradiated SCLC tumors in mice receiving radiation. Similar abscopal antitumor effects were observed in colon cancer and lymphoma models. Surprisingly, these abscopal effects are completely independent of T cells but require macrophages that migrate into the non-irradiated tumor sites in response to inflammatory signals mediated by radiation and are locally activated by CD47 blockade to eliminate cancer cells. The systemic activation of antitumor macrophages following radiotherapy and CD47 blockade may be particularly important in cancer patients who suffer from metastatic disease.

Project description:Aim of this experiment was to characterize whether SPP1 released from the hippocampal perivascular space could imprint microglia transcriptional states. We performed scRNA-seq analysis on sorted CD140a+ perivascular fibroblast (PVF), CD45highCD11intCD206+ perivascular macrophage (PVM) and CD45intCD11intCX3CR1high microglial cell from dissected hippocampi of 6-month old wild type vs SPP1KO/KO vs AppNL-F mice vs AppNL-FxSpp1KO/KO mice. Cells were isolated from dissected hippocampi as previously described (Sala Frigerio et al.,2019).
