Lineage Plasticity Driven by GATA6 Loss Fuels Colorectal Cancer Metastasis [RNA-seq_GATA6KO]

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases are the leading cause of CRC-related mortality, yet the specific genetic and epigenetic drivers that promote this process remain poorly understood. Here, we established a pro-metastatic CRC organoid library through serial orthotopic transplantation of organoids derived from mouse liver metastases. Integrative RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses of these organoids uncovered distinct transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles correlating with metastatic potential. These pro-metastatic epigenetic changes were characterized by reactivation of fetal-like programs and downregulation of LGR5+ intestinal stem cell signatures. Notably, they converged on the silencing of the transcription factor GATA6, which occurs in liver metastases in both mice and humans. Genetic ablation of GATA6 in mouse models significantly enhanced liver metastasis while having minimal impact on primary tumor growth. Mechanistically, the loss of GATA6 induced the pro-metastatic epigenetic state and promoted the generation of LGR5- cancer cells. Together, these findings demonstrate that GATA6 loss drives liver metastatic progression by reprogramming cancer cells into a pro-metastatic epigenetic state through the hijacking of developmental programs.

Lineage Plasticity Driven by GATA6 Loss Fuels Colorectal Cancer Metastasis [H3K27ac_CUT&RUN]

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases are the leading cause of CRC-related mortality, yet the genetic and epigenetic drivers underlying this process remain poorly understood. Here, we established a pro-metastatic CRC organoid library through serial orthotopic transplantation of liver metastasis–derived organoids. Integrative RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses identified a pro-metastatic signature characterized by multilineage plasticity, including fetal-like and basal-like/squamous transcriptional programs. Motif and transcription factor activity analyses identified GATA6 as a key regulator of these epigenetic alterations. GATA6 expression is downregulated in liver metastases, and its genetic ablation enhances liver metastasis with minimal effects on primary tumor growth. Mechanistically, GATA6 loss triggers pro-metastatic transcriptional programs, including fetal-like and basal-like/squamous states, accompanied by LGR5⁻ cell generation. This is mediated by direct repression of HNF4A and increased H3K27ac, and occurs independently of SOX17. Together, these findings identify GATA6 loss as a central regulator of multilineage plasticity that drives liver metastasis in CRC
