Identification of GREM-1 and GAS6 as specific biomarkers for cancer-associated fibroblasts derived from patients with non-small cell lung cancer

ABSTRACT: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a pivotal role in the tumor microenvironment. We conducted an analysis using RNA sequencing to identify specific markers for CAFs compared to normal fibroblasts (NFs) in non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) under various condition. We analyzed 22 CAF samples and 11 NF samples. The 22 CAF samples consisted of 12 adenocarcinomas and 10 squamous cell carcinomas (SqCC), with 16 samples from the lungs and 6 samples from the lymph nodes. Notably, COL11A1, GREM1, CD36, and GAS6 showed higher expression in CAFs than in NFs, whereas TNC and CXCL2 were more highly expressed in NFs. CD36 levels were elevated in CAFs from lymph nodes (LN-CAFs) compared with those from lung specimens (Lung-CAFs) and NFs. COL11A1 levels in Lung-CAFs surpassed those in LN-CAFs and NFs. Both GREM1 and GAS6 showed strong expression in Lung-CAFs and LN-CAFs relative to NFs. CAFs exhibited features of the myofibroblast CAF subpopulation, whereas NFs displayed traits of the antigen-presenting CAF subtype. In NSCLC, GREM1 and GAS6 can be valuable diagnostic and therapeutic targets for CAFs from primary tumors and metastatic sites; they warrant further study.

Prognostic Gene Expression Signature of Carcinoma Associated Fibroblasts in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer [methylation profiling]

Project description:The tumor microenvironment strongly influences cancer development, progression and metastasis. The role of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in these processes and their clinical impact has not been studied systematically in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We established primary cultures of CAFs and matched normal fibroblasts (NFs) from 15 resected NSCLC. We demonstrate that CAFs have greater ability than NFs to enhance the tumorigenicity of lung cancer cell lines. Microarray gene expression analysis of the 15 matched CAF and NF cell lines identified 46 differentially expressed genes, encoding for proteins that are significantly enriched for extracellular proteins regulated by the TGF-beta signaling pathway. We have identified a subset of 11 genes that formed a prognostic gene expression signature, which was validated in multiple independent NSCLC microarray datasets. Functional annotation using protein-protein interaction analyses of these and published cancer stroma-associated gene expression changes revealed prominent involvement of the focal adhesion and MAPK signalling pathways. Fourteen (30%) of the 46 genes also were differentially expressed in laser-capture micro-dissected corresponding primary tumor stroma compared to the matched normal lung. Six of these 14 genes could be induced by TGF-beta1 in NF. The results establish the prognostic impact of CAF-associated gene expression changes in NSCLC patients. Methylation profiles of 5 pairs of were included in a molecular characterization of NSCLC fibroblast cell lines (CAFs) vs. normal lung fibroblasts (NFs). Methylation profiles of 5 paired primary NSCLC fibroblast cell lines (CAFs) and normal lung fibroblasts (NFs) were generated. Genes were determined to be hyper- and hypo-methylated based on paired analysis.

Genome-wide maps of H3K27ac and H3K4me1 in primary normal fibroblasts and matched cancer-associated fibroblasts

Project description:To understand the driving mechanisms for CAF activation, we performed H3K27ac and H3K4me1 Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) analysis in six pairs of NFs and CAFs. At H3K4me1+ sites, we identified 3,333 regions with H3K27ac levels in CAFs ≥ 2-fold than matched NFs in more than 3 pairs, and defined them as CAF-activated enhancers.

Expression data from (mouse) normal lung fibroblasts and carcinoma-associated fibroblasts

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been reported to support tumor progression by a variety of mechanisms. However, their role in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poorly defined. In addition, the extent to which specific proteins secreted by CAFs contribute directly to tumor growth is unclear. To study the role of CAFs in NSCLC, a cross-species functional characterization of mouse and human lung CAFs was performed, including gene expression analysis comparing normal mouse lung fibroblasts (NFs) and mouse lung CAFs to seek for differentially-expressed secreted proteins. Gene expression microarrays were used to identify transcriptomic changes between NFs and CAFs that may contribute to their different tumor-enhancing capacity. NFs and CAFs were grown in vitro for RNA extraction and hybridization on mouse 430_2 Affymetrix microarrays

CD26-negative and CD26-positive tissue-resident fibroblasts contribute to functionally distinct CAF subpopulations in breast cancer [6702]

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are abundantly present in the microenvironment of virtually all tumors and strongly impact tumor progression. Despite increasing insight into their function and heterogeneity, little is known regarding the origin of CAFs. Understanding the origin of CAF heterogeneity is needed to develop successful CAF-based targeted therapies. Through various transplantation studies in mice we determined that CAFs in both invasive lobular breast cancer and triple negative breast cancer originate from mammary tissue-resident normal fibroblasts (NFs). Single-cell transcriptomics, in vivo tracing and in vitro studies revealed the transition of CD26+ and CD26- NF populations into inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs) and myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), respectively. In vitro functional assays showed that CD26+ NFs transition into pro-tumorigenic iCAFs which recruit myeloid cells in a CXCL12-dependent manner and enhance tumor cell invasion via matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. Together, our data show that CD26+ and CD26- NFs transform into distinct CAF subpopulations in breast cancer.
