Project description:The poor clinical outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been attributed to intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy and a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Quiescent pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are neuroendocrine, nestin-positive, lipid-accumulating cells whose homologues in the liver are the principal repository of Vitamin A esters. Upon activation, lipid droplets are lost and via transdifferentiation they become the key cell type responsible for driving the severe desmoplasia that characterizes PDA. Despite their critical role in PDA progression and chemoresistance, therapeutic strategies targeting PSCs are lacking. Here we identified the vitamin D receptor (VDR) as a master genomic regulator of PSC activation and function. In vitro we demonstrate that VDR activation reduces expression in PSCs of genes implicated in activation, inflammation, and extracellular matrix production, as well as restoring lipid droplet integrity. In vivo, the VDR ligand calcipotriol enhances the anti-tumor effects of gemcitabine by increasing intratumoral concentration 5-fold, reducing tumor volume to near baseline and lowering metastases by more than 65%. These findings implicate VDR as a master regulator of PSC activation and identify a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. RNA-Seq analyses was used to characterize cancer-associated changes between pre-activated (3-day culture) and activated (7-day culture) primary mouse PSCs, as well as control and PDA human PSCs. RNA-Seq was also used to assess the impact of VDR activation (DMSO vs calcipotriol) in a human PSC line (MiaPaCa-2), the mouse primary PSCs

Project description:The poor clinical outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is attributed to intrinsic chemoresistance and a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Conversion of quiescent to activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) drives the severe stromal reaction that characterizes PDA. Here, we reveal that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in stroma from human pancreatic tumors and that treatment with the VDR ligand calcipotriol markedly reduced markers of inflammation and fibrosis in pancreatitis and human tumor stroma. We show that VDR acts as a master transcriptional regulator of PSCs to reprise the quiescent state, resulting in induced stromal remodeling, increased intratumoral gemcitabine, reduced tumor volume, and a 57% increase in survival compared to chemotherapy alone. This work describes a molecular strategy through which transcriptional reprogramming of tumor stroma enables chemotherapeutic response and suggests vitamin D priming as an adjunct in PDA therapy.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer mortality and a serious health concern worldwide. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with high CRC incidence and mortality, suggesting a protective effect of vitamin D against this neoplasia. Although the antiproliferative and prodifferentiation action of active vitamin D (1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 1,25(OH)2D3) on colon carcinoma cells is well documented, its potential effects on CRC stroma are unknown. Here, we show that high vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in tumor stromal fibroblasts is associated with better overall and progression-free survival in a large cohort of CRC patients, irrespective of its expression in carcinoma cells. Consistently, 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibits the activation of patient-derived normal and cancer-associated fibroblasts, and their pro-migratory effect on carcinoma cells. Importantly, we show by global transcriptomic analyses that 1,25(OH)2D3 regulates cancer-associated fibroblast gene expression and imposes a gene signature that is associated with longer overall and disease-free survival of CRC patients. Moreover, expression of two genes from the signature, CD82 and S100A4, correlates with stromal VDR expression and clinical outcome in CRC. This study provides the first evidence that vitamin D has protective effects against CRC through the regulation of stromal fibroblasts. Characterization of 1,25(OH)2D3 action on gene expression in primary cultures of colon normal and tumor fibroblasts established from samples from colorectal cancer patients. RNA from seven paired normal and tumor fibroblast primary cultures treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 or vehicle for 48 h were analyzed.

Project description:Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a recently identified disease of the pancreas with unknown etiology and antigens. The aim of this study was to determine new target antigens and differentially regulated genes and proteins by means of transcriptomics and proteomics and to validate them in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis. Here we report a distinct downregulation at the RNA and protein level of pancreatic proteases (anionic trypsinogen, cationic trypsinogen, mesotrypsinogen, elastase IIIB) and pancreatic stone protein in autoimmune pancreatitis in comparison to alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis.

Project description:Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a disease with unclear immunologic triggers. This study shows that the pancreatic stellate cells(PSCs) are involved in the regulation of the immune response and can cause autoimmunity when the NF-κB signalling in these cells is disrupted. The PSCs were isolated from animals which show autoimmune pancreatitis (NEMO knockout group) or chronic pancreatitis (NEMO wildtype group).

Project description:Transgenic KrasG12D mice can recapitulate pancreas intra-epithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Caerulein is a cholecystokinin analogue and induces acute pancreatitis when injected intra-abdominally. Caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis will accelerate PanIN progression in KrasG12D mice. We compared mRNA profile changes between KrasG12D mice with acute caerulein-induced pancreatitis and wild-type mice without acute pancreatitis. The experiment had two groups. Experiment group: KrasG12D mice with acute caerulein-induced pancreatitis (N=6). Three mice in experiment group received 1-week caerulein injection, and the other three mice received 2-week caerulein injection. All experiment group mice started to receive caerulein injection at 1-month of age, and were sacrificed at the last day of caerulein injection. Control group: wild-type mice without acute pancreatitis (N=6). The mice were sacrificed at 1.5-month of age. Whole pancreas tissue lysate samples were subjected to mRNA array assay.
