Keystone pathobionts associated with colorectal cancer promote oncogenic reprograming

ABSTRACT: Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) are two pathobionts consistently enriched in the gut microbiomes of patients with CRC compared to healthy counterparts and frequently observed for their direct association within tumors. Although several molecular mechanisms have been identified that directly link these organisms to features of CRC in specific cell types, their specific effects on the epithelium and local immune compartment are not well-understood. To fill this gap, we leveraged single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on wildtype mice and mouse model of CRC. We find that Fn and ETBF exacerbate cancer-like transcriptional phenotypes in transit-amplifying and mature enterocytes in a mouse model of CRC. We also observed increased T cells in the pathobiont-exposed mice, but these pathobiont-specific differences observed in wildtype mice were abrogated in the mouse model of CRC. Although there are similarities in the responses provoked by each organism, we find pathobiont-specific effects in Myc-signaling and fatty acid metabolism. These findings support a role for Fn and ETBF in potentiating tumorigenesis via the induction of a cancer stem cell-like transit-amplifying and enterocyte population and the disruption of CTL cytotoxic function.

Phagocytes as Trojan horse for Fusobacterium nucleatum routing to the tumor tissues and enhance tumor metastasis

Project description:The facultative intracellular bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), mediates tumorigenesis and progression in CRC. However, the origin of intracellular Fn and the role of Fn-infected phagocytes in tumor microenvironment remains unclear. Here, we observed Fn-infected neutrophils/macrophages (PMNs/MΦ) is accumulated in CRC tumor tissues. Fn can survive inside of PMNs by reducing intracellular ROS levels. The lysozyme inhibitor Fn-MliC induced the expression of the CX3CR1 which suppressed apoptosis of phagocytes. Fn-infected phagocytes can transfer Fn to tumor cells, and Fn-infected CRC cells recruited PMNs and MΦ/monocytes through the CXCL2/8-CXCR2 and CCL5/CCR5 axis. Intracellular Fn upregulated PD-L1 expression through activating NF-κB/STAT3 pathway in PMNs. PD-L1+ PMNs infiltration promotes CRC metastasis and weaken the efficacy of immunotherapy, and eradication intracellular Fn infection retarded the Fn promoted tumor progressing in mice. These results suggest that Fn volved efficient strategies to exploit phagocytes to home to tumor tissues, inhibited immune responses and facilitate tumor metastasis.

Functional states in tumor-initiating cell differentiation in human colorectal cancer

Project description:Intra-tumor heterogeneity of tumor-initiating cell (TIC) activity drives colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and therapy resistance. Here, we used single-cell mRNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of patient-derived CRC models to decipher distinct cell subpopulations based on their transcriptional profiles. Cell type-specific expression modules of stem-like, transit amplifying-like, and differentiated CRC cells resemble differentiation states of normal intestinal epithelial cells. Strikingly, identified subpopulations differ in proliferative activity and metabolic state. In summary, we here show at single-cell resolution that transcriptional heterogeneity identifies functional states during TIC differentiation. Targeting transcriptional states associated to cancer cell differentiation might unravel vulnerabilities in human CRC.

Fusobacterium nucleatum Induces PD-L1 Expression by Tumor-Associated Macrophages and Inhibits Anti-Tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) infection has been linked to the initiation and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying mechanisms remains unexplored. Tissues from Fn-infected mice were first collected for single-cell RNA sequencing. we investigated the correlation between Fn infection and accumulations of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in tissues from human CRC or AOM/DSS treated mice. The impact of Fn on biological function of TAMs were interrogated. We deciphered the mechanisms for interaction between Fn and TAMs in CRC. We explored the impact of Fn infection on immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment in a multicohort study.The analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing revealed an enrichment of TAMs in Fn positive tissues. A significant correlation between Fn DNA level and TAMs was observed. Functionally, Fn could recruit TAMs in CRC tissues and promote their biological functions by enhancing PD-L1 expression and thus suppressing CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, Fn infection led to increased secreted IL-6 via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathways, and the activated IL-6/STAT3 pathway enhanced PD-L1 expression in TAMs. By using several mice models, we found IL-6 inhibition, loss of MyD88 or anti-PD-L1 treatment could significantly inhibit tumorigenesis. Clinically, Fn positive patients tended to be more sensitive to ICB treatment, with a better prognosis than Fn-negative patients.

Colorectal cancer classification based on gene expression is not associated with FOLFIRI response

Project description:Sadanandam et al. (2013) recently published a study based on the use of microarray data to classify colorectal cancer (CRC) samples. The classification claimed to have strong clinical implications, as reflected in the paper title: “A colorectal cancer classification system that associates cellular phenotype and responses to therapy”. They defined five subtypes: (i) inflammatory; (ii) goblet-like; (iii) enterocyte; (iv) transit-amplifying; and (v) stem-like. Based on drug sensitivity data from 21 patients, they also reported that the so-called stem-like subtype show differential sensitivity to FOLFIRI. This is the key result in their publication, since it implies a direct relation between the subtype and the choice of CRC therapy (i.e. FOLFIRI response). However, our analyses using the same drug sensitivity data and results from additional patients showed that the CRC classification reported by Sadanandam et al. is not predictive of FOLFIRI response. We used the classification algorithm to obtain CRC subtypes from our samples. Then we tested the subtype-drug response association performing a retrospective study.

Proteomic profiling of RNA binding proteins in mouse spermatogonial stem cell

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control the fate of RNAs. Tissue regeneration and homeostasis depend on tissue-specific stem cells, but the scope of RBP involvementin these processes remains largely unknown. Here, we identified the RBP repertoire of the mouse undifferentiated spermatogonial population that consists of stem cells and transit amplifying progenitors.

MicroRNA-145 Regulates Human Corneal Epithelial Differentiation [Agilent-016436 array data]

Project description:To investigate the microRNA expression in human limbal-peripheral corneal (LPC) epithelia containing corneal epithelial progenitor cells (CEPCs) and early transit amplifying cells, we have employed Human microRNA Microarray V2 (Agilent) as a screening platform to identify specific microRNAs. We discovered a differential expression of 18 microRNAs against central corneal (CC) epithelia, which contains late transit amplifying cells and terminally differentiated cells. Among them, cluster miR-143/145 was expressed strongly in LPC but at low levels in CC epithelia and this was validated by real-time PCR and locked nucleic acid-based in situ hybridization. LPC and CC epithelia, separated by 1-mm in width, were dissected from human cornea for small RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted by Trizol/chloroform and purified with RNeasy mini spin column. RNA samples with 28S/18S ratios in the range of 1.4 to 1.8 were used for microRNA profiling using an Agilent Human microRNA Microarray V2 platform.

Activation of a neural stem cell transcriptional program in parenchymal astrocytes

Project description:Neural stem cells, located in discrete niches in the adult brain, generate new neurons throughout life. These stem cells are specialized astrocytes, but astrocytes in other brain regions (parenchymal astrocytes) do not generate neurons under physiological conditions. After stroke, however, astrocytes in the mouse striatum undergo neurogenesis, triggered by decreased Notch signaling. Notch signaling can be experimentally depleted in mice by deleting the Notch-mediating transcription factor Rbpj. This dataset consists of single-cell RNA sequencing data of astrocytes isolated from the striatum (where astrocytes undergo neurogenesis in response to Rbpj deletion) or somatosensory cortex (where astrocytes don't complete neurogenesis in response to Rbpj deletion) of 4 mice. Cells were isolated from Cx30-CreER; R26-tdTomato; Rbpj(fl/fl) mice at three time points after tamoxifen-induced Rbpj deletion (2, 4, 8 weeks), and from Cx30-CreER; R26-tdTomato mice with intact Rbpj 3 days after tamoxifen. These time points span the transition from astrocyte through transit-amplifying cells to neuroblasts. The dataset contains 1) astrocytes from the striatum that initiate a neurogenic transcriptional program in response to Rbpj deletion and generate transit-amplifying cells and neuroblasts, and 2) astrocytes from the somatosensory cortex that initiate a neurogenic program in response to Rbpj deletion but fail to generate transit-amplifying cells or neuroblasts.
