Amlexanox targets the IKK-ɛ/TBK1/NF-κB signaling axis to suppress the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and prostate cancer metastasis

ABSTRACT: Tumor metastasis is the major cause of death for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. However, the treatment options for metastatic PCa are very limited. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been reported to be an indispensable step for tumor metastasis and is suggested to associate with acquisition of cancer stem cell (CSC) attributes. Herein we establish a EMT reporter system based on firefly or renilla luciferase reporter driven by promoters of CDH1 and VIM genes. High-throughput drug screening from an approved drug library identifies Amlexanox, a commonly used drug to treat aphthous ulcers, to be a strong EMT inhibitor. Amlexanox significantly suppresses PCa cell migration, metastasis and tumor initiation capacity. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effect of Amlexanox on EMT and cell mobility is acted through targeting the IKK-ɛ/ TBK1/ NF-κB signaling pathway. Considering the known safety as well as the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of Amlexanox, our findings suggest a great potential of repositioning Amlexanox as a new anti-metastatic drug for PCa.

MicroRNA expression in prostate cancer cells stimulated with cancer associated fibroblasts

Project description:Tumor microenvironment is a strong determinant for the acquisition of metastatic potential of cancer cells. It has been demonstrated (Giannoni E et al., Cancer Res 2010) that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) elicit an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in prostate cancer (PCa) cells, leading to enhanced tumor cell aggressiveness. Here, we investigated the involvement of microRNAs (miRNA) in such malignant tumor-stroma interplay, to identify possible tools to counteract metastasis dissemination. To verify whether specific miRNAs are involved in CAF-induced EMT in PCa cells, PC-3 cells were subjected to a variety of stimuli, known to induce or not the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype (Giannoni E et al., Cancer Res 2010; Giannoni E et al., Antioxid Redox Signal 2011) , and profiled for miRNA expression on a microarray platform. miRNA expression profiles successfully distinguished cells that underwent EMT following the stimulation with activated fibroblasts (here referred to as “mesenchymal”) from cells that did not (“epithelial”).

DNA methylation variations are required for reversible EMT induced by cancer-associated fibroblasts in PCa cells

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cells play relevant roles in metastasis and drug resistance in castration-resistant PCa. Conditioned-media from Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts from two patients with aggressive PCa induce EMT, reversible DNA methylation and transcriptional variations in androgen independent PC3, but not in androgen dependent LN-CaP cells. Focal CpG islands hyper-methylation associated to transcriptional repression of epithelial markers occurs together with widespread hypo-methylation, including promoters of EMT and stemness regulating genes resulting in their transcriptional activation. Remarkably, DNA methylation and transcription patterns are entirely reverted upon exposure to serum-free medium (mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition). DNMT3A is required for de novo methylation and silencing of CDH1 and GRHL2, the ZEB1 direct repressor, while its knock-down prevents EMT entry. These unprecedented results highlight that CAF-released factors induce reversible DNA methylation patterns required for transcriptional variations essential for EMT and stemness in androgen independent PCa cells, suggesting that similar plasticity might occur in tumour microenvironment.

Rhodes2019 - Immune-Mediated theory of Metastasis

Project description:Abstract: Accumulating experimental and clinical evidence suggest that the immune response to cancer is not exclusively anti-tumor. Indeed, the pro-tumor roles of the immune system - as suppliers of growth and pro-angiogenic factors or defenses against cytotoxic immune attacks, for example - have been long appreciated, but relatively few theoretical works have considered their effects. Inspired by the recently proposed "immune-mediated" theory of metastasis, we develop a mathematical model for tumor-immune interactions at two anatomically distant sites, which includes both anti- and pro-tumor immune effects, and the experimentally observed tumor-induced phenotypic plasticity of immune cells (tumor "education" of the immune cells). Upon confrontation of our model to experimental data, we use it to evaluate the implications of the immune-mediated theory of metastasis. We find that tumor education of immune cells may explain the relatively poor performance of immunotherapies, and that many metastatic phenomena, including metastatic blow-up, dormancy, and metastasis to sites of injury, can be explained by the immune-mediated theory of metastasis. Our results suggest that further work is warranted to fully elucidate the pro-tumor effects of the immune system in metastatic cancer.

Next generation sequencing showing miRNA profiles of exosomes derived from DHT-treated CAFs and matched ETOH-treated CAFs

Project description:Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the backbone of therapy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Despite the good initial response, castration resistance and metastatic progression will inevitably occur. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) may be implicated in promoting metastasis of PCa after ADT. Our aim is to investigate the role and mechanism of CAF-derived exosomes involving in metastasis of PCa after ADT. Methods: PCa cells were co-cultured with exosomes derived from DHT-treated or ETOH-treated CAFs, and their migration and invasion differences under castration condition were examined both in vitro and in vivo. The miRNA profiles of exosomes derived from DHT-treated CAFs and matched ETOH-treated CAFs were analysed via next generation sequencing. The transfer of exosomal miR-146a-5p from CAFs to PCa cells was identified by fluorescent microscopy. The function and direct target gene of exosomal miR-146a-5p in PCa cells were confirmed through Transwell assays, luciferase reporter, and western blot. Findings: Compared with DHT-treated CAFs, exosomes derived from ETOH-treated CAFs dramatically increase migration and invasion of PCa cells under castration condition. MiR-146a-5p level in exosomes from ETOH-treated CAFs was significantly reduced. The loss of miR-146a-5p may strengthen the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to accelerate cancer cells metastasis by modulating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/ERK pathway. Interpretation: CAFs-derived exosomal miR-146a-5p confers metastasis in PCa cells under ADT through the EGFR/ERK pathway and it may present a new treatment for PCa.

Altered expression of microRNAs in bone metastasis compared with human prostate cancer

Project description:The principal problem arising from prostate cancer (PCa) is its propensity to metastasize to bone. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in many tumor metastases.The importance of miRNAs in bone metastasis of PCa has not been elucidated to date. We investigated whether the expression of certain miRNAs was associated with bone metastasis of PCa. We examined the miRNA expression profiles of 6 primary and 7 bone metastatic PCa samples by miRNA microarray analysis. Total RNA was taken from the specimens, low molecular weight RNA was seperate and labeled , and then hybridized to capitalbio V3.0 biochip representing about 924 microRNA.

Proteomics and liquid biopsy characterization of human EMT-related metastasis in colorectal cancer

Project description:Tumor cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), however, there is a room of disagreement in role of EMT heterogeneity to colorectal cancer metastasis (mCRC) evolution. To uncover new EMT-related metastasis proteins and pathways, we addressed the EMT status in colorectal cancer liver metastasis patient-derived CTCs to identify proteins that promote their distant metastasis. And then, we performed a comparative proteomic analysis in matched pairs of primary tumor tissues, adjacent mucosa tissues and liver metastases tissues. By integrative analysis we show that, unstable Epithelial/Mesenchymal (E/M)-type CTCs had the strongest liver metastases formation ability and the proportion of E/M-type CTCs correlated with distant metastases. Using an optimized proteomic workflow including data independent acquisition (DIA) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), we identified novel EMT-related protein cluster (e.g., GNG2, COL6A1, COL6A2, DCN, COL6A3, LAMB2, TNXB, CAVIN1) and well-described (e.g., KRAS and ERBB2) core protein level changes in EMT-related metastasis progression, and the proteomic data indicate KRAS, ERBB2, COL6A1 and CAVIN1 are promising EMT-related metastatic biomarker candidates. This study contributes to catch on EMT in CRC metastasis and in favor of heterogeneous EMT phenotypes as a key piece for tumor outcome and treatment. We further propose that therapies targeting this aggressive subset (E/M-type) of CTCs and related protein may be worthy of exploration as potential suppressors of metastatic evolution

Amplification of RANK- and c-Met-mediated signaling promotes metastatic colonization

Project description:We found that RANKL, expressed by cancer cells or derived from exogenous sources, consistently induced human prostate, breast, kidney, lung and liver cancer cells to colonize or metastasize to bone in an animal model of cancer bone metastasis. RANK-mediated signaling established a premetastatic niche through a forward feedback loop by inducing RANKL and c-Met expression and downstream signaling via upregulation of master regulator transcription factors regulating EMT (Twist1, Slug, Zeb1, Zeb2), stem cells (Sox2, Myc, Oct3/4 and Nanog), neuroendocrine cells (Sox 9, HIF-1α and FoxA2) and osteomimicry (c-Myc/Max, Sox2, Sox9, HIF1α and Runx2). Abrogating RANK or its downstream signaling network, c-Myc/Max or c-Met, abolished PCa skeletal metastasis in mice. We observed that a small number of RANKL-expressing PCa cells can initiate bone and soft tissue metastases by recruiting non-tumorigenic or bystander PCa or host cells from the circulation or at metastatic sites to co-colonize bone. The recruited bystander PCa cells assume the phenotypes of RANKL-expressing PCa cells by expressing increased c-Met, phosphorylated c-Met and RANKL. RANKL expression at a single cell level in primary PCa tissues predicted disease-specific survival, reflecting the significant role of RANKL-RANK signaling in the development of lethal bone metastasis. Global gene expression analysis perturbed by RANKL in LNRANKL compared to LNNeo cells.

Gene expression profiles of forced miR-200 expression in 344SQ lung adenocarcinoma cells with high metastatic potential

Project description:Metastatic disease is a primary cause of cancer-related death, and factors governing tumor cell metastasis have not been fully elucidated. Here we addressed this question by using tumor cell lines derived from mice that develop metastatic lung adenocarcinoma owing to expression of mutant K-ras and p53. A feature of metastasis-prone tumor cells that distinguished them from metastasis-incompetent tumor cells was plasticity in response to changes in their microenvironment. They transited reversibly between epithelial and mesenchymal states, forming highly polarized epithelial spheres in 3-dimensional culture that underwent epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) following treatment with transforming growth factor-beta or injection into syngeneic mice. This plasticity was entirely dependent upon the microRNA-200 family, which decreased during EMT. Forced expression of miR-200 abrogated the capacity of these tumor cells to undergo EMT, invade, and metastasize and conferred transcriptional features of metastasis-incompetent tumor cells. We conclude that microenvironmental cues direct tumor metastasis by regulating miR-200 expression.
