Project description:Through variation in the cancer cell and their immune infiltrates each tumor represents a unique problem, but therapeutic targets can be found in the shared features. Radiation therapy can change the interaction between the cancer cells and the stroma through release of innate adjuvants including the STING agonist cGAMP. Enpp1 is a phosphodiesterase that can be expressed by cancer cells and can degrade cGAMP. Enpp1 can therefore limit innate adjuvant availability following radiation therapy. We observed that many cancer cells lack Enpp1 expression, but that Enpp1 expression is retained in cells of the tumor stroma and this expression in the tumor stroma limits tumor control by radiation therapy. We demonstrate the efficacy of a novel Enpp1 inhibitor and show that this inhibitor improves tumor control by radiation even where the cancer cells lack Enpp1. We show that the mechanism requires STING and type I IFN receptor expression by non-cancer cells, and is dependent on CD8 T cells as a final effector mechanism of tumor control. This suggests that Enpp1 inhibition may be an effective partner for radiation therapy regardless of whether cancer cells express Enpp1, and identifies a novel therapeutic Enpp1 inhibitor suitable for combination therapies in immuno-oncology.

Project description:ENPP1 expression correlates with poor prognosis in many cancers, and we previously discovered that ENPP1 is the dominant hydrolase of extracellular cGAMP: a cancer-cell-produced immunotransmitter that activates the anticancer STING pathway. However, ENPP1 has other catalytic activities and the molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to its tumorigenic effects remain unclear. Here, using single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), we show that ENPP1 overexpression drives primary tumor growth and metastasis by synergistically dampening extracellular cGAMP-STING mediated antitumoral immunity and activating immunosuppressive extracellular adenosine (eADO) signaling. In addition to cancer cells, stromal and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) also express ENPP1 which functions as a gate keeper to block cGAMP sensing in these cells. Enpp1 knockout in both cancer cells and normal tissues slowed primary tumor growth and prevented metastasis in an extracellular cGAMP- and STING-dependent manner. Lastly, an ENPP1 knock-in mutation that selectively abolishes ENPP1’s cGAMP hydrolysis activity phenocopied total ENPP1 knockout, demonstrating that restoration of paracrine cGAMP-STING signaling is the dominant anti-cancer mechanism of ENPP1 inhibition. In summary, selectively blocking ENPP1’s cGAMP hydrolysis activity is a promising therapeutic approach for treating cancer.

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify new mutations in the ENPP1 gene that produce infantile arterial calcification and fetal demise. A stillborn (proband) was diagnosed with infantile arterial calcification. Mutations in the ENPP1 gene account for ~80% of the cases of infantile arterial calcification through loss of function in both alleles (recessive inheritance).

Project description:Locoregional failure (LRF) in breast cancer patients post-surgery and post-irradiation (IR) is linked to a dismal prognosis. In a refined new model, we identified Enpp1 (Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase /phosphodiesterase 1/CD203a) to be closely associated with LRF. Enpp1high circulating tumor cells (CTC) contribute to relapse by a self-seeding mechanism. This process requires the infiltration of PMN-MDSC and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) formation. Genetic and pharmacological Enpp1 inhibition or NET blockade extend relapse-free survival. Furthermore, in combination with fractionated irradiation (FD), Enpp1 abrogation obliterates LRF. Mechanistically, Enpp1-generated adenosinergic metabolites enhance Haptoglobin (Hp) expression. This inflammatory mediator elicits myeloid invasiveness and promotes NET formation. Accordingly, a significant increase in ENPP1 and NET formation is detected in relapsed human breast cancer tumors. Moreover, high ENPP1 or HP levels are associated with poor prognosis. These findings unveil the ENPP1/HP axis as an unanticipated mechanism exploited by tumor cells linking inflammation to immune remodeling favoring local relapse.

Project description:Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ) is a severe complication following head and neck radiotherapy that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the microenvironmental factors involved in ORNJ. In this study, we reveal the activation of taurine metabolism in irradiated mandibular stromal cells using scRNA-Seq and demonstrate a decrease in taurine levels in irradiated bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) through metabolomics. Compared with unirradiated BMSCs, taurine uptake in irradiated BMSCs increases. Taurine concentrations in the peripheral blood and jaws of irradiated mice are significantly lower than those in unirradiated mice (P = 0.0064 and 0.0249 respectively). Supplementation with taurine promotes osteogenic differentiation, reduces oxidative stress, and decreases DNA damage in irradiated BMSCs. Oral administration of taurine significantly improves the survival rate of irradiated mice and enhances osteogenesis in irradiated jaws. Our study highlights the role of taurine in the recovery from radiation-induced jaw injury, and suggests its potential as a non-invasive therapeutic option for combating ORNJ.

Project description:Stromal cells present in the colon crypt provide proliferation and differentiation signals to the epithelial cells, thereby maintaining their integrity and stimulating the regeneration process. Cancer patients treated for tumors located in the abdominopelvic region may develop radiation proctitis, a condition characterized by a strong mucosal inflammation. In this work, single-cell RNA sequencing approaches were combined with spatial transcriptomics to characterize colonic stromal cells in depth, both in control conditions and in the context of radiation-induced ulceration. The present study identifies a novel stromal marker, Edil3 (EGF-like repeats and discoidin domains 3), which defines the major stromal population of the colon. This population is spatially and functionally distinct from telocytes and trophocytes and is expressed along the crypt with a functional proliferation-differentiation axis . This population, which we propose to name "mesitocytes," cooperates with vascular cells to control inflammation and epithelial proliferation. We demonstrate that radiation-induced ulcerated areas are characterized by the presence of inflammation-associated fibroblasts (IAFs) deriving from mesitocytes.

Project description:The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is a critical determinant of therapeutic response. However, the mechanisms regulating its modulation are not fully understood. HER2D16, an oncogenic splice variant of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2), has been implicated in breast cancer and other tumor types as a driver of tumorigenesis and metastasis. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of HER2Δ16-mediated oncogenicity remain poorly understood. Here, we show that HER2∆16 expression is not exclusive to the clinically HER2+ subtype and is associated with a poor clinical outcome in breast cancer. To understand how HER2 variants modulate the tumor microenvironment, we generated transgenic mouse models expressing either proto-oncogenic HER2 or HER2D16 in the mammary epithelium. We found that HER2∆16 tumors are immune cold, characterized by low immune infiltrate and an altered cytokine profile. Using an epithelial cell surface proteomic approach, we identified ENPP1 as a functional regulator of the immune cold microenvironment. We generated a knock-in model of HER2Δ16 under the endogenous promoter to understand the role of ENPP1 in aggressive HER2+ breast cancer. Knockdown of ENPP1 in HER2Δ16-derived tumor cells resulted in decreased tumor growth that was correlated with increased T-cell infiltration. These findings suggest that HER2Δ16-dependent ENPP1 activation is associated with aggressive HER2+ breast cancer through its immune modulatory function. Our study provides a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying HER2Δ16-mediated oncogenicity and highlights ENPP1 as a potential therapeutic target in aggressive HER2+ breast cancer.
