Project description:Metastatic breast cancer is an extremely complex disease with limited treatment options due to the lack of information about the major characteristics of metastatic disease. There is an urgent need, therefore, to understand the changes in cellular complexity and dynamics that occur during metastatic progression. In the current study, we analyzed the cellular and molecular differences between primary tumors and paired lung metastases using a syngeneic p53-null mammary tumor model of basal-like breast cancer. Distinct subpopulations driven by the Wnt- and/or STAT3 signaling pathways were detected in vivo using a lentiviral Wnt- and STAT3 signaling reporter system. A significant increase in the overlapping populations driven by both the Wnt- and STAT3 signaling pathways was observed in the lung metastases as compared to the primary tumors. Furthermore, STAT3 signaling activity was markedly enhanced in the metastatic lesions relative to the primary tumors with minimal changes observed in Wnt reporter activity. An analysis of the unique molecular features of the lung metastases revealed a significant association with immune response signatures. Specifically, Foxp3 gene expression was markedly increased and elevated levels of Foxp3+ Treg cells were detected in close proximity to lung metastases. Collectively, these studies illustrate the importance of analyzing intratumoral heterogeneity, changes in population dynamics and the immune microenvironment during metastatic progression.

A significant increase in the overlapping populations driven by both the Wnt- and STAT3 signaling pathways was observed in the lung metastases as compared to the primary tumors. Furthermore, the overlapping populations showed a higher metastatic potential relative to the other populations and pharmacological inhibition of both signaling pathways was shown to markedly reduce the metastatic lesions in established lung metastases. An analysis of the unique molecular features of the lung metastases revealed a significant association with immune response signatures. Specifically, Foxp3 gene expression was markedly increased and elevated levels of Foxp3 + Treg cells were detected in close proximity to lung metastases.

Project description:The brain microenvironment imposes a particularly intense selective pressure on metastasis initiating cells, but successful metastasis bypass this control through mechanisms that are poorly understood. Reactive astrocytes are key components of this microenvironment, as they have been observed to confine brain metastasis without infiltrating the lesion. We describe a subpopulation of reactive astrocytes surrounding metastatic lesions that are characterized by the activation of STAT3 pathway. Blocking STAT3 signaling in this subpopulation of reactive astrocytes reduces experimental brain metastasis from different primary tumor sources, even at advanced stages of colonization. We conclude that brain metastatic cells induce and maintain the co-option of a pro-metastatic program driven by STAT3 in a subpopulation of reactive astrocytes. We also show that a safe and orally bioavailable treatment that inhibits STAT3 in patients with established brain metastasis and extracranial disease exhibits significant antitumor effects, especially in the CNS where several complete responses were achieved. Given that brain metastasis imposes significant morbidity and mortality, our experimental results suggest a novel treatment for increasing survival in patients with secondary brain tumors.

Project description:Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. The survival rate of patients with metastatic disease remains very dismal. Nevertheless, metastasis is a complex process and a single-level analysis is not likely to identify its key biological determinants. In this study, we used a systems biology approach to identify common metastatic pathways that are jointly supported by both mRNA and protein expression data in two distinct human metastatic OS models. Results mRNA expression microarray and N-linked glycoproteomic analyses were performed on two commonly used isogenic pairs of human metastatic OS cell lines, namely HOS/143B and SaOS-2/LM7. Pathway analysis of the differentially regulated genes and glycoproteins separately revealed pathways associated to metastasis including cell cycle regulation, immune response, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition. However, no common significant pathway was found at both genomic and proteomic levels between the two metastatic models, suggesting a very different biological nature of the cell lines. To address this issue, we used a topological significance analysis based on a “shortest path” algorithm to identify topological nodes, which uncovered additional biological information with respect to the genomic and glycoproteomic profiles but remained hidden from the direct analyses. Pathway analysis of the significant topological nodes revealed a striking concordance between the models and identified significant common pathways, including “Cytoskeleton remodeling/TGF/WNT”, “Cytoskeleton remodeling/Cytoskeleton remodeling”, and “Cell adhesion/Chemokines and adhesion”. Of these, the “Cytoskeleton remodeling/TGF/WNT” was the top ranked common pathway from the topological analysis of the genomic and proteomic profiles in the two metastatic models. The up-regulation of proteins in the “Cytoskeleton remodeling/TGF/WNT” pathway in the SaOS-2/LM7 and HOS/143B models was further validated using an orthogonal Reverse Phase Protein Array platform. Conclusions In this study, we used a systems biology approach by integrating genomic and proteomic data to identify key and common metastatic mechanisms in OS. The use of the topological analysis revealed hidden biological pathways that are known to play critical roles in metastasis. Wnt signaling has been previously implicated in OS and other tumors, and inhibitors of Wnt signaling pathways are available for clinical testing. Further characterization of this common pathway and other topological pathways identified from this study may lead to a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of metastatic OS. In this study we analyzed two human metastatic OS cell lines and their parental non-metastatic lines. The two human metastatic OS cell line models were HOS/143B and SaOS-2/LM7. The HOS cell line, originally known as M.T. and later as TE-85, was derived from an OS of a 13 year-old girl. The 143B metastatic subline was generated from HOS by a Ki-RAS oncogene transformation [Rhim, J.S., et al., Characterization of human cells transformed in vitro by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Int J Cancer, 1977. 19(4): p. 505-10.]. The SaOS-2 cell was derived from an OS of an 11 year-old girl, and its metastatic subline LM7, was developed by multiple in vivo selection of SaOS-2 cells in mice with pulmonary metastases [Jia, S.F., L.L. Worth, and E.S. Kleinerman, A nude mouse model of human osteosarcoma lung metastases for evaluating new therapeutic strategies. Clin Exp Metastasis, 1999. 17(6): p. 501-6.]. No replicates were included.

Project description:We identified a novel mechanism by which IL-6/STAT3 signaling up-regulates CD133 expression and promotes HCC progression. STAT3 activation upregulates the expression of CD133 during liver carcinogenesis. Targeting STAT3-mediated CD133 overexpression may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC patients via eradicating the liver tumor microenviornment. To develop novel cancer therapeutic strategies by identification of signaling pathways or biomarkers and understanding their functions on cancer stem cell biology, we determined CD133 expression and STAT3 activation with tumor microenvironment in HCC patient tissues. The relation of STAT3 activation and CD133 expression was investigated by luciferase assay, shRNA knock-down, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay in HCC cells, and in vivo xenograft model.
