Transcriptomic analysis of total RNA from melanoma tumor, originating from control and hyperlipic diet

ABSTRACT: Cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share common risk factors such as dyslipidemia, obesity and inflammation. However, the role of pro-atherogenic environment and its associated low-grade inflammation in tumor progression remains underexplored. Here we show that two-week feeding of wildtype C57BL/6J mice with a high fat high cholesterol atherogenic diet (HFHCD) increases the pool of circulating Ly6C hi monocytes available for initial melanoma development, under the control of IL-1. Descendants of circulating myeloid cells, which accumulate in the tumor microenvironment of mice under HFHCD, heighten pro-angiogenic and immunosuppressive activities locally. Limiting myeloid cell accumulation or targeting VEGF-A production by myeloid cells decrease tumor growth acceleration under HFHCD. Reverting the HFHCD to a chow diet at the time of tumor implantation slows down tumor growth. Together, these data shed light on cross-disease communication between cardiovascular pathologies and cancer.

Project description:Systemic immune responses induced by chronic hypercholesterolemia contribute to the initiation, progression and complications of atherosclerosis. However, the consequences of an alternate high fat diet and the associated variations in plasma cholesterol levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. To address this relevant issue concerning common situations where dietary habits change over time, we developed a novel protocol in athero-prone mice that allowed us to compare the effects of alternate versus continuous high fat diet (HFD) on atherosclerosis, the overall period of time of exposure to HFD being similar between groups. We showed that alternate HFD lead to accelerated atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe-/- mice compared to continuous HFD. The pro-atherogenic effect of alternate HFD was also found in Apoe-/-Rag2-/- mice lacking T, B, and NKT cells, ruling out a role for the adaptive immune system in the observed phenotype. Using different complementary in vivo approaches, we found that lipid-rich diet discontinuation in alternate group downregulated Runx1, a negative regulator downstream of TLR-4 pathways. As a result, after re-exposure to HFD, myeloid progenitors were more sensitive to hypercholesterolemia leading to acute differentiation into IL-1b- producing immature neutrophils, which caused a state of emergency myelopoiesis. Consecutively, neutrophils markedly increased in the peripheral blood, infiltrated atherosclerotic lesions and locally released neutrophil extracellular traps. Anti-Ly6G neutrophil depletion abolished the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. Specific deletion of Il1b and Il1b receptor confirmed that the IL-1b signaling pathway was a major driver of the pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic neutrophil signature. Finally, treatment with anti-IL-1b neutralizing antibody or inflammasome inhibitor during re-exposure to HFD reversed the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. In summary, we showed that alternate HFD accelerates atherosclerosis through IL-1b-dependent neutrophil progenitor reprogramming.

Project description:Systemic immune responses induced by chronic hypercholesterolemia contribute to the initiation, progression and complications of atherosclerosis. However, it is common for individuals to change dietary habits over time. The consequences of an alternating high fat diet and the associated variations in plasma cholesterol levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. To address this relevant issue, we developed a novel protocol in atherosclerosis-prone mice that allowed us to compare the effects of alternate versus continuous high fat diet (HFD) on atherosclerosis, while keeping the overall period of exposure to HFD similar between groups. We showed that an alternate HFD lead to accelerated atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe 55 -/- mice compared to continuous HFD. This pro-atherogenic effect of alternate HFD was also observed in Apoe-/-Rag2 57 -/- mice lacking T, B, and NKT cells, ruling out the role of the adaptive immune system in the observed phenotype. Employing various complementary in vivo approaches, we discovered that discontinuing HFD in the alternate group downregulated Runx1, a negative regulator of inflammatory signaling pathways in the myeloid lineage. Consequently, after re61 exposure to HFD, myeloid progenitors were primed to respond to HFD re-exposure by differentiating into IL-1-producing immature neutrophils, and inducing a state of emergency myelopoiesis. Subsequently, neutrophils markedly increased in the peripheral blood, infiltrated atherosclerotic lesions and locally released neutrophil extracellular traps. Anti-Ly6G neutrophil depletion abolished the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. Specific deletion of Il1b and Il1 receptor confirmed that the IL-1 signaling pathway was a major driver of the pro67 inflammatory and pro-atherogenic neutrophil signature. Finally, treatment with anti-IL-1 neutralizing antibody or an inflammasome inhibitor during re-exposure to HFD reversed the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. In summary, we showed that alternate HFD accelerates atherosclerosis through IL-1-dependent neutrophil progenitor reprogramming.
