Shaping immune landscape of colorectal cancer by cholesterol metabolites [BALB/c]

ABSTRACT: Cancer immunotherapies have achieved unprecedented success in clinic, but they remain largely ineffective in some major types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer with microsatellite stability (MSS CRC) (Picard et al., 2020). It is therefore important to study tumor microenvironment of resistant cancers for developing new intervention strategies. In this study, we identify a metabolic cue that determines the unique immune landscape of MSS CRC. Through secretion of distal cholesterol precursors, which directly activate RORgt, MSS CRC cells can polarize T cells toward Th17 cells that have well-characterized pro-tumor functions in colorectal cancer. Analysis of large human cancer cohorts revealed an asynchronous pattern of the cholesterol biosynthesis in MSS CRC, which is responsible for the abnormal accumulation of distal cholesterol precursors. Inhibiting the cholesterol biosynthesis enzyme Cyp51 by ketoconazole, a clinically approved drug, reduced the levels of intratumoral distal cholesterol precursors and suppressed tumor progression through a Th17-modulation mechanism in preclinical MSS CRC models. Our study therefore reveals a novel immune-modulation mechanism of oncometabolites and an invention strategy for the difficult-to-treat MSS CRC.

Transcription profiling of human colorectal cancers with and without microsatellite instability identifies a set of discriminating genes and identifies proximal and distal cancers

Project description:Samples were taken from colorectal cancers in surgically resected specimens in 84 colorectal cancer patients. The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Comparison between the sample groups allow to identify a set of discriminating genes between MSI and MSS cancers and, furthermore, to determine the distinct characteristics of proximal and distal MSI cancers. Experiment Overall Design: Eighty-four colorectal cancer patients who had undergone surgical resection of colorectal cancer were studied. To identify molecular signatures of MSI cancers, gene expression profiles were compared between MSI and MSS cancers. Next, we examined the difference in gene expression profiles between proximal and distal MSI cancers.

Comparing the microbiota composition of stool, intestinal biopsy and saliva between patients with Adenoma and Adenocarcinoma

Project description:Increasing importance in the onset and progression from colonic adenomatous polyps (AP) to colorectal cancer (CRC) has been attributed to the gut microbiota and the oncometabolites they may produce. To comprehensively study the microbial spatial variations and role of microbiota in CRC progression, multiple niches from the gastrointestinal system have to be investigated. We collected saliva, tissue and stool samples from 61 patients, including 46 CRC patients and 15 AP patients, well matched in age and sex, who were undergoing surgery in 2018 at the Careggi University Hospital (Florence, Italy). For all samples and locations we surveyed microbial composition through 16S ribosomal RNA and metabolites using NMR, and compared them across tissues and disease state, also considering CRC TNM staging. Our result suggest the importance of microbiota communities and derived oncometabolites in CRC development. Such association can be a forerunner for future studies on CRC/AP management.

Single-cell transcriptomics analysis of the tumor microenvironment from murine MC38 xenografts upon SHP099 treatment

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC), a malignant tumor worldwide consists of microsatellite instability (MSI) and microsatellite stable (MSS) phenotypes. Although SHP2 is a potential target for cancer therapy, its relationship with innate immunosuppression remains elusive. To address that, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to explore the role of SHP2 in all cell types of tumor microenvironment (TME) from murine MC38 xenografts.

Exercise inhibits tumor progression and improves the therapeutic efficacy of PD-1 blockade in colorectal cancer preclinical models

Project description:Exercise training (ExT) has shown antitumor effects in many preclinical cancer models. In the present study, we utilize MC38 and CT26 cells, which represent MSI and MSS colorectal carcinomas respectively, to study the effects and mechanisms of ExT alone or in combination with PD-1 based immunotherapy. Using treadmill running and PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, we demonstrated that post-implant exercise training has broad anticancer activities in murine models of CRC. Specifically, in MSI CRC models, ExT induces beneficial metabolic and immunological adaptations, leading to a more significant inhibition in tumors treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, suggesting a genotype-directed combinatory therapy for the subgroup of CRC patients. Moreover, ExT might be a safe and alternative anticancer strategy for cancers resistant to the PD-1 based immunotherapy, such as patients with MSS CRC tumors.

Transcription profiling by array of microsatellite stable stage III Colorectal Adenocarcinoma (MSS-CRC) with wild type or mutant p53 to study the prognostic significance of the mutation

Project description:Clinical Significance: Understanding the differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) aggressiveness and clinical outcomes in relation to tumor stage and different molecular subsets is at most important for designing treatment regimens. However, molecular signatures for specific phenotypic subsets that predict the aggressiveness and clinical outcomes of CRC, specifically in advanced disease stage are lacking. Therefore, for the first time, the current study has identified a set of molecular markers that are associated with aggressive Stage III CRCs that exhibited microsatellite stable and mutant p53 phenotypic features. These findings might aid in designing aggressive treatment regimens and help to provide insights into the development of novel therapeutic targets. Results: Increased incidence of p53 mutations in MSS CRCs (58%) was associated with higher CRC-specific mortality than MSS-p53 wild-type phenotypes (log-rank, P=0.025; and hazard ratio, 2.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-5.08). Of 49 down-regulated genes, LPAR6, PDLIM3 and PLAT and of 35 up-regulated genes, TRIM29, FUT3, IQGAP3, and SLC6A8, were confirmed by qNPA, qRT-PCR, and IHC platforms. Conclusions: p53 mutations are associated with poor prognosis of Stage III microsatellite stable CRCs. p53 wild type vs. mutant tumor samples

Distinct tumorigenic pathways within hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

Project description:Gene expression profiling has discriminated between sporadic microsatellite instable (MSI) and microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancers (CRCs), whereas the expression pattern of familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX) and Lynch syndrome (LS) associated CRCs remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to use gene expression profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens from FCCTX, LS and sporadic CRC as a control to detect expression patterns and to identify signaling pathways differing between FCCTX and LS tumors.

Radiation Therapy Inhances Immunotherapy Response in Microsatellite-stable Colorectal and Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma in a Phase II Trial

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade has limited efficacy in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal (CRC) and pancreatic (PDAC) cancer. Preclinical models have demonstrated the use of radiation to activate the innate immune response and stimulate responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade. Here, we describe a Phase 2 trial of radiation therapy combined with combined anti-CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and anti-PD1 (nivolumab) antibodies in MSS CRC and PDAC. In the per protocol analysis disease control rate was 37% (10/27) in CRC and 29% (5/17) in PDAC with an overall response rate of 15% (4/27) and 18% (3/17), respectively. Whole exome and RNA sequencing of biopsies from 17 patients revealed low tumor mutational burden in all tumors, but a notable upregulation of interferon stimulated genes with concordant high expression of multiple repeat RNA transcripts in responders. Altogether, this study provides foundational human proof of concept of radiation with combination immune checkpoint blockade therapy in otherwise immunotherapy resistant cancers.
