TMPRSS11B promotes an acidified microenvironment and immune suppression in squamous lung cancer

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Existing therapeutic options have limited efficacy, particularly for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), underscoring the critical need for the identification of new therapeutic targets. We previously identified the Transmembrane Serine Protease TMPRSS11B as a novel gene that promotes transformation of human bronchial epithelial cells and enhances lactate export in LUSC. To determine the impact of TMPRSS11B activity on the host immune system and the tumor microenvironment (TME), we evaluated the effect of Tmprss11b depletion in syngeneic and autochthonous mouse models. Tmprss11b depletion significantly reduced tumor burden in immunocompetent mice and triggered an infiltration of immune cells. RNA FISH analysis and spatial transcriptomics in the Rosa26LSL-Sox2-IRES-GFP; Nkx2-1 fl/fl; Lkb1fl/fl (SNL) model revealed an enrichment of Tmprss11b expression in LUSC tumors, specifically in Krt13+ hillock-like cells. Ultra-pH sensitive nanoparticle imaging and metabolite analysis identified regions of acidification, elevated lactate, and enrichment of macrophages in LUSC tumors. These results demonstrate that TMPRSS11B promotes an acidified and immunosuppressive TME and suggests a potential to therapeutically target this enzyme in LUSC.

RNA sequencing of genetically engineered mouse model lung tumors and normal mouse lung.

Project description:Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) of cancer are powerful tools to study multiple aspects of caner biology. We developed a novel GEMM for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) by genetically combining overexpression of Sox2 with loss of Lkb1: Rosa26LSL-Sox2-IRES-GFP;Lkb1fl/fl (SL). We compared gene expression profiles of SL lung tumors with normal mouse lung tissue, mouse lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) tumors from KrasLSL-G12D/+;Trp53fl/fl (KP), mouse LSCC tumors from Lkb1fl/fl;Ptenfl/fl (LP) model as well as Lenti-Sox2-Cre Lkb1fl/fl.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of tumor associated neutrophils and control peripheral blood neutrophils in a novel lung squamous cell carcinoma mouse model

Project description:Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) can be conditioned to become “N2” pro-tumorigenic neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment. TANs have been shown to acquire N2 features and promote multiple aspects of tumor growth in mouse models of many cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer. We developed a novel mouse model for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC): Rosa26LSL-Sox2-IRES-GFP;Nkx2-1fl/fl;Lkb1fl/fl (SNL). SNL mice develop tumors with short latency of ~3 months and SNL tumors have high neutrophil infiltration similar to other LSCC mouse models. We employed this novel model and single-cell RNA-sequencing to profile TANs in SNL lung tumors in comparison to peripheral blood neutrophils (PBNs) from tumor-bearing SNL mice.

Stress response of Salmonella Typhimurium to acidified nitrite

Project description:The antimicrobial action of the curing agent NaNO2, which is added as a preservative to raw meat products, depends on its conversion to nitric oxide and other reactive nitrogen species under acidic conditions. In this study, we applied RNA-sequencing to analyze the acidified NaNO2 shock and adaptive response of Salmonella Typhimurium, a frequent contaminant in raw meat. Upon a 10 minute exposure to 150 mg/l NaNO2 in LB pH 5.5 acidified with lactic acid, genes involved in nitrosative stress protection together with several other stress related genes were induced. To the contrary, genes involved in translation, transcription, replication and motility were down-regulated. Induction of stress tolerance and reduction of cell proliferation obviously promote survival under harsh acidified NaNO2 stress. The subsequent adaptive response was characterized by up-regulation of NsrR-regulated genes and iron-uptake systems and down-regulation of genes involved in anaerobic respiratory pathways. Strikingly, amino acid decarboxylase systems, which contribute to acid tolerance, displayed increased transcript levels in response to acidified NaNO2. The induction of systems known to be involved in acid resistance indicates a nitrite mediated increase of acid stress.

Single cell RNA sequencing of tumor sections from GEMM harboring KrasG12D/+ or KrasG12D/+Lkb1fl/fl(KL) mutation.

Project description:LKB1 deficiency is widely acknowledged to induce immune-desert tumors in the non small cell lung cancer. Dissecting the "cold" tumor microenvironment (TME) would promote a better understanding of mechnism of the immune evasion triggered by LKB1 loss, thereby facilitating to seek therapeutic targets. Here, we exploited single-cell RNA sequencing to show the immune landscape of genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) bearing a conditional activating mutation of endogenous Kras (KrasLSL-G12D/+) with or without Lkb1 conditional knockout (Lkb1fl/fl). The heterogeneity of TME and celler communication were analyzed.

Project description:Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data in CD45- lung tumor cells from tumor-burdened lungs of KrasLSL-G12D/+Lkb1fl/fl and KrasLSL-G12D/+Lkb1fl/flUsp25-/- mice 10 weeks after they were intranasally injected with Ad-Cre.

Tumor cell-specific Gpx4 deficiency reshaps tumor microenvironment and promotes NSCLC progression.

Project description:Knockout or inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) induces ferroptosis which has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. Here we unexpectedly found that inducible knockout of GPX4 in tumor cells significantly promotes non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression in the autochthonous KrasLSL-G12D/+Lkb1fl/fl (KL) and KrasLSL-G12D/+Tp53fl/fl (KP) mouse models, whereas inducible overexpression of GPX4 in tumor cells had an opposite effect. Mechanistically, knockout of GPX4 in tumor cells results in the accumulation of triacylglycerol (TAG) that was stored in lipid droplets in tumor cells and the efflux of TAG that induces ferroptosis of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby igniting an immunoinhibitory TME characterized by the dysfunction of anti-tumor T cells and the decrease of antigen-presenting macrophages. Consistently, treatment with liprostatin-1 or inducible overexpression of GPX4 in tumor cells significantly rescues the ferroptosis of macrophages and ignites the activation of T cells in the TME, thereby inhibiting NSCLC progression. These findings highlight a previously uncharacterized role of tumor cell-specific GPX4 in NSCLC progression by modulating TAG metabolism in the TME and provide potential therapeutic strategies for NSCLC.

Integrated Single-Cell Lung Cancer Atlas Revealed Distinct Fibroblast Phenotypes between Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) not only influences cancer progression but has also been shown to have a significant impact on patient prognosis. One of the major TME components is cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), of which several subtypes are identified in tumor tissues. Although scRNA-seq technology is a powerful tool to investigate the cellular proportion and composition in tissues, large-scale datasets are required to analyze a small number of cell populations. Here, we constructed an integrated single-cell RNA-seq dataset for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by compiling publicly-available data and demonstrated differences in TME heterogeneity and cellular composition between lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Particularly, we identified significant differences in CAF subtypes between LUAD and LUSC. Inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs) were dominantly found in LUAD, while myofibroblastic CAFs (mCAFs) were more common in LUSC. Co-culture analysis with lung fibroblasts confirmed that LUAD cells induced iCAF phenotype and, in contrast, LUSC promoted myofibroblastic differentiation. Correlation analysis with patient prognosis identified mCAF as a poor prognostic factor in both LUAD and LUSC, but iCAF was found to be a poor prognostic factor only in LUSC, and vice versa in LUAD. This work highlights important considerations on CAF subtype dominance in LUAD and LUSC, which may relate to patient prognosis.
