Spatial and functional dissection of cancer-associated fibroblasts-mediated immune modulation in H. pylori-associated gastric cancer [LACE-seq]

ABSTRACT: We identify four transcriptionally and spatially distinct CAF subtypes with differential immune associations across histological and infection-defined subtypes of GC. Notably, in H. pylori-positive tumors, THBS1+ CAFs exhibit a strong spatial association with regulatory T cells and are linked to local immunosuppression via WNT-FZD interactions. In parallel, the RNA-binding protein ZFP36 post-transcriptionally represses FN1 expression, thereby attenuating FN1+ CAF-mediated cytotoxic T cell engagement.

Comparative single-cell genomics uncovers evolutionarily conserved features and therapeutic targets in triple-negative breast cancer fibroblasts

Project description:We performed scRNA-seq analysis of fibroblasts from murine and human TNBCs. We observed three CAF subtypes in mouse TNBC: two transcriptionally distinct CAFs that were found intermingled and adjacent to tumor cells, and distal CAFs that were located further away from tumor cells. All three CAFs appear to evolve from normal resident fibroblasts/pericytes by activation of Pdgf and Tgfb receptors in fibroblasts in parallel with reciprocal upregulation of ligands in tumor cells and other tumor microenvironment cells. Additionally, extracellular matrix, glycolytic and mitochondrial respiratory genes were strongly upregulated in all three CAFs. Murine pancreatic CAFs displayed matching subtypes. Human TNBCs displayed three analogous CAF subtypes, although only a subset of marker genes are conserved. Finally, the upregulation of specific extracellular matrix genes in different CAF subtypes provides a basis for developing selective CAF-targeted therapeutics.

Single-cell RNA-seq of patient-derived cancer-associated fibroblast in vitro cell line models from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are sought after as potential therapeutic targets due to their plethora of pro- and antitumorigenic functions. Recent findings attributed this functional heterogeneity to specializations in CAF subtypes. A precise targeting of specific subtypes would thus be required to design therapies that effectively modulate CAF phenotypes, but our knowledge of CAF heterogeneity in solid tumors, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is still lacking. Here, we use single-cell transcriptomics to characterize CAF subtype heterogeneity in in vitro CAF cell lines isolated from PDAC patients and investigate subtype-resolution modulations arising from perturbing potential stromal genes. We demonstrate that co-culturing CAFs with tumor cells can produce primary cell line models that can reliably represent CAF phenotypes observed in tumors, with correlations to immuno-resistant and immuno-modulatory phenotypes. With trajectory analysis, we infer the continuum of state changes that underlie the interconvertibility of CAF subtypes. Finally, we use the immortalized CAF cell lines to perform single-cell CRISPR perturbations of candidate stromal targets, revealing not only the subtype-specific effects of the perturbations, but also the impact of model-type selection on the translatability of insights.

RNA sequencing data of primary cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) isolated from fresh ex vivo germ cell tumor (GCT) patient tissue

Project description:Single eng 3' RNA sequencing of primary CAF isolated from fresh ex vivo GCT patient tissue. Purity of CAF populations were verified by qPCR analysis of common CAF, GCT, endothelial and epithelial markers. 14 different CAF cultures from distinct GCT subtypes (seminoma(SE), non-seminoma(NS)) and 5 non-malignant fibroblast cultures were analyzed.

Age-associated changes in the skin transcriptome in Naked mole-rats

Project description:Naked mole rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber) are long-lived mammals that possess a natural resistance to cancer and other age-related pathologies, maintaining a healthy life span for >30 years. We report application of RNAseq technology to analyze changes in the skin transcriptome of NMRs during aging. RNAseq analyses reveal that the transcript levels of several longevity-associated (Igfbp3, Igf2bp3, Ing2) and tumor-suppressor genes (Btg2, Cdkn1a, Cdkn2c, Dnmt3a, Hic1, Socs3, Sfrp1, Sfrp5, Thbs1, Tsc1, Zfp36) are increased in aged versus young NMR skin. Overall, these data suggest that specific features in the NMR skin aging transcriptome might contribute to the resistance of NMRs to spontaneous skin carcinogenesis and provide a platform for further investigations of NMRs as a model organism for studying the biology and disease resistance of human skin.

Hypoxia-induced proteomic remodeling of human mammary cancer associated fibroblast - siRNA NCBP2-AS2

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia causes the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels which contribute to tumor metastasis. Blood vessels are embedded in the tumor stroma where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent cellular component. We found that hypoxic human mammary CAFs promote blood vessel growth in CAF-endothelial cell co-cultures in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of CAF secretome unravels how hypoxic CAFs contribute to blood vessel abnormalities by altering the secretion of a multitude of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induces pronounced remodeling of the CAF proteome, including proteins that have not been previously related to this process. Amongst those, the uncharacterized antisense gene protein NCBP2-AS2 is one of the most transcriptionally upregulated proteins in the proteome and secretome of hypoxic CAFs. Silencing of NCBP2-AS2 abrogates the pro-angiogenic function acquired by hypoxic CAFs through decreasing VEGF expression levels to the levels found in normoxic CAFs.

Hypomethylation of thrombospondin-1 promoter region is associated with reduced aqueous humor flow

Project description:Prolonged use of dexamethasone (DEX) elevates intraocular pressure (IOP) and increases the risk of developing glaucoma. In a previous study, we demonstrate that DEX stimulates the expression of thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) in primary human trabecular meshwork (hTM) cells, and that inhibiting THBS1 expression prevents DEX-induced elevation of IOP in mice. Therefore, we investigate the mechanism by which DEX regulates THBS1 expression. Treatment with the DNA methylation inhibitors, 5-azacytosine or 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine, upregulates THBS1 protein levels in vitro and in vivo, reduces outflow facility in perfused mouse eyes, and elevates IOP in mice. In primary hTM cells, 7-day DEX treatment results in hypomethylation of the THBS1 promoter region and reduces transcript levels of 2 DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), DNMT1 and DNMT3A. Taken together, we show that DEX reduces expression of DNMTs and DNA methylation of the THBS1 promoter region, supporting a critical role for THBS1 in DEX-induced outflow reduction.

Distinct fibroblast functional states drive clinical outcomes in ovarian cancer and are regulated by TCF21

Project description:Recent studies indicate that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous. However, little is known about CAF subtypes and the roles they play in cancer progression. Here we identify and characterize two CAF subtypes that coexist within high grade serous ovarian cancers: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-high (FH) CAFs resemble the classical myofibroblast-type CAF, whereas FAP-low (FL) CAFs possesses a preadipocyte-like molecular signature.
