RNA sequencing of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and normal fibroblasts from a triple-transgenic gastric cancer mouse model

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer is the 3rd most lethal cancer worldwide, and the genomic status of its cancer cells has not translated into effective prognostic or therapeutic strategies. We therefore hypothesize that outcomes may depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME), and in particular cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). However, very little is known about the role of CAFs in gastric cancer. To address this, we map the transcriptional landscape of human gastric cancer stroma by microdissection and RNA sequencing of CAFs from gastric cancer patients. We find a stromal gene signature associated with poor disease outcome. This signature is regulated by the transcription factor Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), that activates CAF-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) that transfer components including Inhibin Subunit Beta A (INHBA) and Thrombospondin 2 (THBS2), to the TME to promote cancer. Together, our work provides the first transcriptional map of human gastric cancer stroma, and highlights HSF1 and its transcriptional targets as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in the genomically stable tumor microenvironment.

Pan-cancer single-cell analysis reveals the heterogeneity and plasticity of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the dominant components of stroma in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and they influence cancer hallmarks by interacting with other TME components. However, the heterogeneity and dynamics of CAFs have not been systematically characterized across different cancer types. Here, we performed pan-cancer analysis on 226 samples from 164 donors across 10 types of solid cancers to profile the TME at single-cell resolution. The activation trajectory of fibroblasts into various major types of CAFs was divided into three distinct differentiated states and was capable of sculpting the TME, which was associated with the prognosis of immunotherapy. On the other hand, except for activation, minor CAF components represented the dynamic transition between fibroblasts and other TME components (i.e., macrophages, peripheral nerve and endothelial cells) and delineated the alternative origins of CAFs. Particularly, the ubiquitous presentation of CAFEndoMT (endothelial-mesenchymal transition), which may be stimulated by proximal SPP1+ tumor-associated macrophages, played a role in angiogenesis and patient survival stratifications. Our study comprehensively profiled the heterogeneity and plasticity of CAFs, implied a potential divergent origin of different CAF populations, and highlighted its generalized key role in the TME across different cancer types.

Mesothelioma-associated fibroblasts enhance proliferation and migration of malignant pleural mesothelioma cells via Met/PI3K and WNT signaling but do not protect against cisplatin

Project description:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Unlike many other cancers, MPM is mostly characterized by inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Its highly malignant nature in absence of tumor driving oncogene mutations indicates an extrinsic supply of stimulating signals by cells of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an abundant cell type of the TME and have been shown to drive the progression of several cancer types. The aim of the current study was to isolate and characterize patient-derived mesothelioma-associated fibroblasts (Meso-CAFs), and evaluate their impact on MPM cells.

Identification of stromally expressed molecules in the prostate by Tag profiling of cancer-associated fibroblasts, normal fibroblasts and fetal prostate

Project description:The stromal microenvironment plays key roles in prostate development and cancer. Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and other stromal cells stimulate tumourigenesis via several mechanisms including the expression of pro-tumourigenic factors. Mesenchyme (embryonic stroma) controls prostate organogenesis, and in some circumstances can re-differentiate prostate tumours. Epithelia are regulated by powerful paracrine signalling from the stroma in both development and disease, and identification of these stromal signals is important. We have applied next-generation Tag profiling to fetal human prostate, normal human prostate fibroblasts (NPFs) and CAFs to identify molecules expressed in prostatic stroma Each sample was used for Tag library construction, by Solexa Inc

Helicobacter pylori cagA+ induces cancer-associated fibroblasts proliferation and migration in vitro

Project description:Biliary fibrosis has the effect on biliary tract contribution to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Activated myofibroblast accompanying cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the abundant in tumor stroma of CCA development and plays an important for tumor microenvironment. Although Helicobacter pylori infection is known risk for CCA, the interaction of CAFs and H. pylori is unclear. This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of H. pylori on the tumorigenesis and progression of the CAFs cell in vitro.

Stromal evolution of cancer-associated fibroblasts in PDAC GEMMs

Project description:With the advent of cancer immunotherapy, intense investigation has been focused on tumor-infiltrating immune cells. With only a fraction of patients responding to these new therapies, a better understanding of all elements of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that may influence therapeutic outcome is needed. Stromal elements of the TME, chiefly fibroblasts, have emerged as potential contributors to tumor progression and most recently resistance to immunotherapy, but their precise composition and clinical relevance remain incompletely understood. Here we use single-cell transcriptomics to chart the fibroblastic landscape during pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression in animal models, identifying two healthy tissue fibroblast subsets that co-evolve along individual trajectories into four subsets of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs).

An Immunological Synapse Formation Between T Regulatory Cells and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Promotes Tumour Development: Secretomics

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have emerged as a dominant non-hematopoietic cell population in the tumour microenvironment (TME), serving diverse functions in tumour progression, invasion, matrix remodelling and resistance to therapy. Extensive molecular characterization revealed an increased heterogeneity in the CAF compartment and proposed an interaction between CAFs and tumour-infiltrating immune cells, which may shape tumour immune evasion. However, the precise mechanisms via which CAFs imprint on anti-tumour immunity remain poorly understood. Herein, we describe a synapse formation between α-SMA+ CAFs and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the TME. Specifically, Foxp3+ Tregs were localized close to α-SMA+ CAFs in diverse types of tumour models as well as in biopsies from melanoma and colorectal cancer patients. Notably, α-SMA+ CAFs demonstrated the ability to phagocytose and process tumour antigens and exhibited a tolerogenic phenotype which instructed a Treg cell movement arrest with Treg cell activation and proliferation, in an antigen-specific manner. Of interest, α-SMA+ CAFs were characterized by the presence of double-membrane structures, resembling autophagosomes, in their cytoplasm, while analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data pointed autophagy and antigen processing/presentation pathways to be enriched in α-SMA-expressing CAF clusters. In a mechanistic view, conditional knockout of the autophagy pathway in α-SMA+ CAFs promoted an inflammatory re-programming of CAFs, reduced Treg cell infiltration, attenuated tumour development, and potentiated the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. Overall, our findings reveal an immunosuppressive mechanism operating in the TME, which entails the formation of synapses between α-SMA+ CAFs and Tregs in an autophagy-dependent fashion and raises the potential for the development of CAF-targeted therapies in cancer. Here we submit the secretome proteomic analyses.

Tumor-produced and aging-associated oncometabolite, methylmalonic acid, promotes cancer-associated fibroblast activation to drive metastatic progression

Project description:The systemic metabolic shifts that occur during aging and the local metabolic alterations of a tumor, its stroma and their communication cooperate to establish a unique tumor microenvironment (TME) that fosters cancer progression. Here, we show that methylmalonic acid (MMA), an aging-increased oncometabolite that is also produced by aggressive cancer cells, activates fibroblasts in the TME and stimulates the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that drive cancer progression, drug resistance and metastasis. The cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-released EV cargo is modified as a result of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and activation of the canonical and noncanonical TGFβ signaling pathways in CAFs. EV-associated IL-6 functions as a stroma-tumor messenger that activates the JAK/STAT3 and TGFβ signaling pathways in tumor cells and promote an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and drug resistance in vitro, and metastatic progression in vivo. Our findings reveal the role of MMA in the activation of CAFs to drive metastatic reprogramming, unveiling multiple potential therapeutic avenues to target MMA at the nexus of aging, the tumor microenvironment and metastasis.

RHBDF2 in Stromal Fibroblasts Mediates TGF-b Signal and Enhances Cancer Cell Invasion via Intercellular Cross-Talk

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) existing in tumor stroma play a crucial role in tumor progression. Here, we show that stromal fibroblasts near cancer cells are likely to display up-regulated RHBDF2 expression caused by chronic stimulation from pro-inflammatory cytokines. RHBDF2 promotes both the cleavage of type I transforming growth factor (TGF)-b receptor, through tumor necrosis factor α converting enzyme activation, and the motility of CAFs upon stimulation with TGF-b1. High-motility CAFs can consequently assist cancer cell invasion. Furthermore, the expression profiles of these cytokines are significantly associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer (GC) patients. These findings highlight the underlying mechanism whereby cancer cells take advantage of CAFs to acquire invasiveness.
