The RNA-binding protein HuR impairs adipose tissue anabolism in pancreatic cancer cachexia

ABSTRACT: Cachexia, a wasting condition defined by chronic loss of fat and muscle, is a frequent complication of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that negatively impacts quality of life and confers poor patient survival. Nutritional supplementation cannot fully reverse adipose and muscle tissue wasting, and the mechanisms underlying this phenotype are unclear. This work aims to define the relative contributions of catabolism and anabolism to adipose wasting in PDAC-bearing mice. Human antigen R (HuR) is an RNA-binding protein recently shown to suppress adipogenesis. We hypothesize that fat wasting results from a loss of adipose anabolism driven by increased HuR activity in adipocytes of PDAC mice.

Muscle and adipose transcriptome in a mouse model of cachexia induced by orthotopic pancreatic cancer, with and without tumor-derived interleukin-6 (IL-6)

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) causes involuntary wasting of adipose and muscle tissue, also known as cachexia. Cachexia is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, particularly among patients with PDAC. Here we profiled gene expression in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in normal/sham control mice and in mice bearing orthotopic PDAC tumors. PDAC tumors were initiated by intra-pancreatic injection of a cell line derived from the KPC (Kras-G12D;Trp-R172H;Pdx1::Cre) genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic cancer, or by injection of the same cell line deleted for the IL6 gene using CRISPR/Cas9. KPC-IL6 knockout (ko) cells caused less adipose wasting and no muscle loss compared with KPC-wildtype (wt) cells.

Pancreatic cancer-induced cachexia syndrome

Project description:Cancer cachexia syndrome is observed in 80% of patients with advanced-stage cancer, and it is one of the most frequent causes of death. Severe wasting accounts for more than 80% in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Here we wanted to define, by using an microarray approach and the Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl, the pathways involved in muscle, liver and white adipose tissue wasting. The aim of our work was to characterize as extensively as possible the pathways activated by the pancreatic cancer-induced cachectic tissues. For this purpose, we generated and compared genome-wide expression profiles of white adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver, from Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl and LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl mice at 10 weeks-old. Tissue samples by triplicate was obtained from liver, muscle and adipose tissues in both groups, controls and cachectic mice. Total RNA samples was processed and profiled on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays as previously described (Cano et al, 2012)

Pancreatic cancer-intrinsic HuR regulates the pro-tumorigenic properties of extracellular vesicles

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors contain chaotic vasculature that limits immune surveillance and promotes early events in the metastatic cascade. However, current antiangiogenic therapies have failed in PDAC, and it remains important to uncover mechanisms by which cancer cells signal to endothelial cells to increase angiogenesis. The tumor-intrinsic RNA-binding protein HuR (ELAVL1) plays an important role re-shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) by regulating the stability and translation of cytokine encoding transcripts. PDAC-intrinsic HuR influenced endothelial cell function in the TME via extracellular vesicle (EV) signaling, an underexplored signaling axis in tumor progression. HuR knockout (KO) tumors had impaired growth in an immunocompetent mouse model, and that administering purified wildtype (WT) EVs increased tumor growth. Further, isobaric-labeling quantitative proteomics showed that PDAC EVs contained HuR-dependent cargos relating to endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. Treatment of endothelial cells with HuR WT EVs strongly increased the expression of genes involved in barrier function, endothelial cell development, and directly increased their migratory and tube forming functions. In an immunocompetent orthotopic mouse model of PDAC, HuR increased endothelial cell presence and sprouting, while decreasing ICAM-1 expression. When utilizing the PalmGRET genetic EV reporter, decreased ICAM-1 within WT tumors occurred in endothelial cells that had imported PDAC EVs, suggesting signaling that directly modulates endothelial cell behavior in vivo. Collectively, our data reveal a new role of HuR in EV signaling to endothelial cells, promoting angiogenesis while restricting endothelial cell leukocyte trafficking behavior.

Transcriptome comparison of white adipose tissue between control and adipose specific HuR knockout mice

Project description:Human antigen R (HuR) is a member of the Hu family of RNA-binding proteins and is involved in many physiological processes. To investigate the role of adipose HuR, we generate adipose-specific HuR knockout (HuRAKO) mice. As compared with control mice, HuRAKO mice show obesity when induced with a high-fat diet, along with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hypercholesterolemia and increased inflammation in adipose tissue. The obesity of HuRAKO mice is attributed to adipocyte hypertrophy in white adipose tissue due to decreased expression of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a critical lipase involved in lipolysis. HuR positively regulates ATGL expression by promoting the mRNA stability and translation of ATGL. Consistently, the expression of HuR in adipose tissue is reduced in obese humans, which is associated with reduced ATGL expression. This study suggests that adipose HuR may be a critical regulator of ATGL expression and lipolysis and thereby controls obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Depletion of HuR in murine skeletal muscle enhances exercise endurance and prevents cancer-induced muscle atrophy

Project description:Here we show that, when compared to control mice, muscle specific HuR knockout (muHuR-KO) animals have higher exercise endurance that is associated with a significant increase in oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. Histological analysis demonstrates that the absence of HuR significantly enhances the proportion of oxidative type I fibers in several skeletal muscles, showing that under normal conditions, HuR promotes the formation of glycolytic type II fibers. HuR mediates this outcome by collaborating with the mRNA decay factor KSRP, to destabilize the PGC-1α mRNA, a well-known promoter of type I fiber formation. Furthermore, the type I fiber-enriched phenotype of muHuR-KO mice is associated with a protection against cancer cachexia-induced muscle wasting

The RNA-binding protein HuR is a negative regulator in adipogenesis [RNA-seq]

Project description:Human antigen R (HuR) protein, a RNA binding protein (RBP), has been reported to regulate essential steps in RNA metabolism and immune response in a variety of cell types, but its function in metabolism remains unclear. This study identifies HuR as a major repressor during adipogenesis. Knockdown and overexpression of HuR in primary adipocyte culture enhances and inhibits adipogenesis in vitro, respectively. Fat-specific knockout of HuR significantly enhances adipogenic gene program in all three major adipose tissues including epidydimal, inguinal white and brown adipose tissue, accompanied with systemic glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. Conversely, transgenic overexpression of HuR in adipose tissue prevents the HFD induced obesity by repressing adipogenesis. Mechanistically, HuR may inhibit adipogenesis by recognizing and modulating the stability of hundreds of adipocyte transcripts, including the mRNA of Insig1, a negative regulator during adipogenesis. Taken together, our work establishes HuR as a novel posttranscriptional regulator of adipogenesis and provides a new insight into how RNA processing contributes to adipocyte development.
