Co-culture CRISPR screens reveal ATG9A as a regulator to macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity in cancer

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the role of cancer cell surface proteins in modulating the response of cancer cells to macrophage-induced cytotoxicity. Utilizing two targeted CRISPR screens using OVCAR-8 cell line and a targeted CRISPR library for cancer cell surface proteins, ATG9A was identified as a key regulator. ATG9A KO increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to macrophage-induced cytotoxicity. Subsequent RNA sequencing and other analysis elucidated the underlying mechanisms; ATG9A KO in cancer cells not only enhances inflammatory cytokines production but also plays a crucial role in the plasma membrane repair following macrophage co-culture. These findings reveal novel targets for enhancing macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity in cancer, offering additional avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Red meat consumption is associated with an increased colon cancer risk. Heme, present in red meat, injures the colon surface epithelium by luminal cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species. This surface injury is compensated by hyperproliferation and hyperplasia of crypt cells, which was induced by a changed surface to crypt signalling as recently described. It is unknown whether the change in signaling is caused by cytotoxic stress and/or by oxidative stress, as these processes were never studied separately. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the possible differential effects of dietary heme on these luminal stressors and their impact on the colonic mucosa after 2, 4, 7 and 14 days of heme feeding. Mice received a purified humanized control diet or this diet supplemented with 0.2 Âµmol heme/g. Oxidative stress was measured as Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) in fecal water. Cytotoxicity of fecal water was quantified with a bioassay. Epithelial cell proliferation was determined by Ki67 immunohistochemistry and mucosal responses were further studied in detail by whole genome transcriptomics. Dietary heme caused instantaneous and delayed changes in the luminal contents which were reflected in the mucosa. Instantaneous, there was an increase in reactive oxygen species leading to increased levels of lipid peroxidation products. Mucosal gene expression showed an instantaneous antioxidant response and PPAR target gene activation. After day 4 cytotoxicity of the colonic contents was increased and hyperproliferation was initiated, indicating that cytotoxicity was causal for the initiation of hyperproliferation. Several oncogenes were activated and tumor protein 53 was inhibited. In conclusion, dietary heme caused an instantaneous production of reactive oxygen species in mouse colon. A lag time was observed in the formation of cytotoxicity which coincided with the initiation hyperproliferation. Keywords: expression profiling by array Mice were fed a Westernized high fat control diet, or the same diet supplemented with 0.2 Âµmol heme/g diet. After different days of intervention, mice were killed and gene expression was profiled in colon.
