MLL3 Loss Drives Metastasis by Promoting a Hybrid Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition State [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Phenotypic plasticity associated with the hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state is crucial to metastatic seeding and outgrowth. We showed that deletion of the epigenetic regulator MLL3, a tumor suppressor frequently altered in human cancer, promoted the acquisition of the hybrid EMT state in both epithelial and mesenchymal breast cancer cells by facilitating EMT and MET, distinct from other known EMT regulators mediating unidirectional changes. MLL3 deletion greatly increased metastasis by enhancing metastatic outgrowth during colonization. Mechanistically, MLL3 loss led to IFNγ signaling upregulation, which contributes to the induction of hybrid EMT cells and the enhanced metastatic capacity.

MLL3 Loss Drives Metastasis by Promoting a Hybrid Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition State [ChIP-seq histone marker]

Project description:Phenotypic plasticity associated with the hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state is crucial to metastatic seeding and outgrowth. However, the mechanisms controlling the induction of hybrid EMT remain poorly defined. We showed that deletion of the epigenetic regulator MLL3, a tumor suppressor frequently altered in human cancer, promoted the acquisition of the hybrid EMT state in both epithelial and mesenchymal breast cancer cells by facilitating EMT and MET, distinct from other known EMT regulators mediating unidirectional changes. Consequently, MLL3 deletion greatly increased metastasis by enhancing metastatic outgrowth during colonization. Mechanistically, MLL3 loss led to IFNγ signaling upregulation, which contributes to the induction of hybrid EMT cells and the enhanced metastatic capacity.

MLL3 Loss Drives Metastasis by Promoting a Hybrid Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition State [RNA-seq MDA231 KO vs WT]

Project description:Loss of MLL3 facilitates mesenchymal cells to acquire a mesenchymal/epithelial hybrid state during metastatic colonization. MLL3 loss led to IFNg signaling upregulation, which contributes to the induction of hybrid EMT cells and the enhanced metastatic capacity. Here we reported the gene expression profiles of WT and MLL3-KO MDA-MB-231 cells.

MLL3 loss drives metastasis and therapeutic resistance by promoting a hybrid EMT state [RNA-seq]

Project description:Loss of MLL3 facilitates mesenchymal cells to acquire a mesenchymal/epithelial hybrid state during metastatic colonization. The MET occurring in distant metastases is likely driven by stromal signals in the metastatic niche. One signaling pathway that promotes the MET is the activation of protein kinase A (PKA). The MET hybrid cells can be identified as CD44+CD104+/high. Forskolin treatment generated significantly more CD44+CD104high hybrid cells in MLL3-mutant cells than the WT MDA-MB-231 cells. While both WT and MLL3-mutant CD44+CD104high hybrid EMT cells showed significantly increased lung metastatic ability than the counterpart CD44+CD104low mesenchymal cells, the MLL3-mutant hybrid cells showed a much greater metastasis-initiating ability than the WT hybrid cells. Here we reported the gene expression profiles of CD44+CD104high E/M hybird and CD44+CD104-/low mesenchymal cell populations sorted from Foskolin-treated, MLL3-null MDA-MB-231 cells.

Selvaggio2020 - Microenvironment control of hybrid Epithelial-Mesenchymal phenotypes

Project description:Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) has been associated with cancer cell heterogeneity, plasticity and metastasis. It has been the subject of several modeling effort. This logical model of the EMT cellular network aims to assess microenvironmental signals controlling cancer-associated phenotypes amid the EMT continuum. Its outcomes relate to the qualitative degrees of cell adhesions by adherent junctions and focal adhesions, two features affected during EMT. Model attractors recover epithelial, mesenchymal and hybrid phenotypes, and simulations show that hybrid phenotypes may arise through independent molecular paths, involving stringent extrinsic signals. Of particular interest, model predictions and their experimental validations indicated that: 1) ECM stiffening is a prerequisite for cells overactivating FAK-SRC to upregulate SNAIL1 and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype, and 2) FAK-SRC inhibition of cell-cell contacts through the Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphates kappa leads to the acquisition of a full mesenchymal rather than a hybrid phenotype.

Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model with autocrine TGFbeta signaling

Project description:This model is an expansion of the Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model (MODEL2208050001); it includes a TGFβ signaling module and autocrine signaling in mesenchymal cells. The expanded 150-node (630 link) modular model undergoes EMT triggered by biomechanical and growth signaling crosstalk, or by TGFβ. As its predecessor, this model also reproduces the ability of the core EMT transcriptional network to maintain distinct epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal states, as well as EMT driven by mitogens such as EGF on stiff ECM. We also reproduce the observed lack of stepwise MET, in that our model's dynamics does not pass through the hybrid E/M state during MET. We show that in the absence of strong autocrine signals such as TGFβ (not included in this version), cells cannot maintain their mesenchymal state in the absence of mitogens, on softer matrices, or at high cell density. In contrast, potent autocrine signaling can stabilize the mesenchymal state in all but very dense monolayers on soft ECM. This expanded model also reproduces the inhibitory effects of TGFβ on proliferation and anoikis resistance in mesenchymal cells, as well as its ability to trigger apoptosis on soft ECM vs. EMT on stiff matrices. The model offers several experimentally testable predictions related to the effect of neighbors on partial vs. full EMT, the tug of war between mitosis and the maintenance of migratory hybrid E/M states, as well as cell cycle defects in dynamic, heterogeneous populations of epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal cells.

Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model

Project description:This file contains a 136-node modular Boolean network model of EMT triggered by biomechanical and growth signaling crosstalk, linked to a published network of epithelial contact inhibition, proliferation, and apoptosis (MODEL2006170001). This model reproduces the ability of the core EMT transcriptional network to maintain distinct epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal states, as well as EMT driven by mitogens such as EGF on stiff ECM. We also reproduce the observed lack of stepwise MET, in that our model's dynamics does not pass through the hybrid E/M state during MET.

Maintenance of epithelial traits and resistance to mesenchymal reprogramming promote proliferation in metastatic breast cancer [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Despite important advances in the treatment of breast cancer, the 5-year survival rate for patients with distant metastasis remains less than 30%. Metastasis is a complex, multi-step process beginning with local invasion and ending with the outgrowth of systemically disseminated cells into actively proliferating metastases that ultimately cause the destruction of vital organs. It is this last step that limits patient survival and, at the same time, remains the least understood mechanistically. Here, we focus on understanding determinants of metastatic outgrowth using metastatic effusion biopsies from stage IV breast cancer patients. By modelling metastatic outgrowth through xenograft transplantation, we show that tumour initiation potential of patient-derived metastatic breast cancer cells across breast cancer subtypes is strongly linked to high levels of EPCAM expression. Breast cancer cells with high EPCAM levels are highly plastic and, upon induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), readily adopt mesenchymal traits while maintaining epithelial identity. In contrast, low EPCAM levels are caused by the irreversible reprogramming to a mesenchymal state with concomitant suppression of metastatic outgrowth. The ability of breast cancer cells to retain epithelial traits is tied to a global epigenetic program that limits the actions of EMT-transcription factor ZEB1, a suppressor of epithelial genes. Our results provide direct evidence that maintenance of epithelial identity is required for metastatic outgrowth while concomitant expression of mesenchymal markers enables plasticity. In contrast, loss of epithelial traits is characteristic of an irreversible mesenchymal reprogramming associated to a deficiency for metastatic outgrowth. Collectively, our data provide a framework for the intricate intercalation of mesenchymal and epithelial traits in metastatic growth.
