Clearance of senescent macrophages ameliorates tumorigenesis in KRAS-driven lung cancer

ABSTRACT: Accumulation of senescent cells in the tumour microenvironment can drive tumourigenesis in a paracrine manner through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Using a new p16-FDR mouse line, we show that macrophages and endothelial cells are the predominant senescent cell types in murine KRAS-driven lung tumours. Single cell transcriptomics identify a population of tumour-associated macrophages, expressing a unique array of pro-tumourigenic SASP factors and surface proteins, that are also present in normal aged lungs. Genetic or senolytic ablation of senescent cells, and macrophage depletion, result in a significant reduction in tumour burden and increased mouse survival of KRAS-driven lung cancer models. Of translational relevance, we reveal the presence of macrophages with senescent features in human lung premalignant lesions, but not in adenocarcinomas. Together, our results have uncovered a population of senescent macrophages contributing to the initiation and progression of lung cancer, thus opening potential therapeutic avenues and cancer preventative strategies.

Clearance of a senescent macrophage-enriched niche ameliorates tumorigenesis in KRAS-driven murine lung cancer models

Project description:Understanding the important role of the tumour microenvironment on tumour initiation and progression is vital for a comprehensive understanding of cancer biology to design effective treatment strategies. Cellular senescence, while traditionally thought of as a cell autonomous tumour-suppressive response to potentially oncogenic insults, is now appreciated to have paracrine tumour promoting roles. We demonstrate a pro-tumourigenic effect of senescent microenvironmental cells on mouse lung tumour progression. To better understand the characteristics of these pro-tumourigenic senescent cells in the tumour microenvironment, we compare putatively senescent cells (reported by mCherry-expression) and non-senescent cells (mCherry-negative cells) from the lung microenvironment of mice induced to form lung tumours by oncogenic KrasG12D-expression in the lung epithelium. Putatively senescent cells are isolated by FACS, based on mCherry-expression which is expressed under the control of the Cdkn2a (p16) locus using a novel genetically engineered allele (p16FDR/+), along with their non-senescent counterparts for comparison by single cell RNA-sequencing.

Depletion of the E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 impairs Kras-induced lung adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis and induces a senescent phenotype

Project description:The E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 modifies a diverse network of substrate proteins by ubiquitination, through which it regulates various intracellular processes and contributes to both oncogenic and tumour suppressor mechanisms in different cancer contexts. Here, by analysing human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patient samples we reveal that HUWE1 protein expression is commonly upregulated in LUAD tumours compared to normal adjacent lung tissue and that this increase is associated with tumour stage. Using multiple, independent murine models of LUAD initiation and growth, we identify that Huwe1 is essential for mutant Kras-induced lung tumour development and reveal a novel, p53-independent requirement for Huwe1 in LUAD. Mechanistically, we demonstrate induction of a senescent phenotype following HUWE1 depletion - characterised by impaired proliferation, an atypical cell cycle distribution, emergence of morphologically abnormal enlarged cells, and transcriptional reprogramming associated with inflammatory SASP signalling and NFkB activation. Together, these data highlight a crucial role for HUWE1 in mutant Kras-induced LUAD tumorigenesis and in the continued growth and proliferation of established LUAD cells, confirming HUWE1 as a rational therapeutic target for LUAD.

Gene expression profiling of MDA-MB-231 cells incubated with therapy induced senescence derived small extracellular vesicles

Project description:TNBC, associated with poor prognosis and high tumour recurrence, are often treated with anti-mitotic drugs. However, cells may bypass treatment-induced cell death via mitotic slippage, resulting in multinucleated polyploid cells and senescence activation. Senescent cancer cells represent a population of residual disease and are highly secretory. The SASP elicited is enriched in soluble cytokines linked to tumor recurrence and distant metastasis. In contrast, sEVs derived from senescent cancer cells represent an underappreciated aspect of SASP and its mechanistic role in mediating paracrine effects remains poorly-understood. Here, we show senescent sEVs as a distinct population of SASP that could elicit anti-tumor activity.

P21+TREM2+-Senescent Macrophages Fuel Inflammaging and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease. [Trem2ko]

Project description:Cellular senescence drives chronic sterile inflammation during aging via the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP); however, the cell types responsible for this pathology remain poorly defined. Here, we identify p21⁺Trem2⁺ senescent macrophages as a major source of inflammaging. Using primary mouse and human macrophages, we developed a model of DNA damage and cholesterol-induced senescence and applied multi-omic profiling to fully characterize senescent macrophages. We found that senescent macrophages exhibit a distinctive p21-TREM2 expression profile and SASP, driven in part by type-I interferon signaling via secreted mitochondrial DNA. We also found that senescent macrophage accumulation occurs in aged and MASLD mouse livers and is enriched in human cirrhotic liver tissue. Finally, senolytic treatment targeting senescent macrophages reduced liver inflammation and steatosis in both aged and MASLD mice. Together, these findings establish macrophage senescence as a central driver of chronic inflammation in aging and metabolic liver disease, highlighting a promising, tractable therapeutic target.
