Transcriptional programs dictating tumor cell fate decisions in neuroblastoma lymph node metastasis [bulk RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma, a deadly pediatric cancer from the sympathetic ganglia of the peripheral nervous system, frequently metastasizes, driving poor outcomes in high-risk cases. While primary tumors are well-characterized, the cellular and molecular dynamics of metastasis remain poorly understood. Here, we employed single-cell multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics to profile lymph node metastases in high-risk neuroblastoma compared to primary adrenal masses. We found that lymph node metastases displayed unique cellular heterogeneity and plasticity marked by a shift toward mesenchymal-like and cancer stem cell states, with enriched epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) programs. Lymph node metastatic niche exhibited altered tumor microenvironment dynamics, characterized by increased immunosuppressive myeloid subsets, heightened immune checkpoint signaling and lymphocyte exhaustion, indicative of immune evasion and dysfunction. Our multi-omics studies reveal distinct features of high-risk neuroblastoma that contribute to metastasis and therapy resistance, pointing to potential therapeutic vulnerabilities of the aggressive metastatic disease.

Reductionist approach using primary and metastatic cell-derived extracellular vesicles prospect proteins associated with oral cancer prognosis

Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) shows high mortality rates that are largely associated with the presence of lymph node metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive OSCC metastasis are unknown. Here, we used a reductionist approach mapping the proteomic, miRNA, metabolomic and lipidomic profiles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human primary tumor (SCC-9 cells) and matched lymph node metastasis (LN1 cells) to explore the role of EV cargo in OSCC metastasis. Distinct omics profiles were associated with the metastatic phenotype, including 670 proteins, 217 miRNAs, 26 metabolites and 64 lipids differentially abundant between LN1 and SCC-9-derived EVs. A multi-omics integration indicated 11 ‘hub proteins’ significantly modulated in the metastatic site when compared to primary site-derived EVs, seven of them correlated with aggressiveness in cancer patients. The multi-omics approach allowed the prospection of proteins transported by EVs that potentially serves as prognostic markers in OSCC.

Melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles induce lymphangiogenesis and metastasis by a NGFR-dependent mechanism

Project description:Secreted extracellular vesicles are known to influence the tumor microenvironment and promote metastasis. In this work, we have analyzed the involvement of extracellular vesicles in establishing the lymph node pre-metastatic niche by melanoma cells. We found that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from highly metastatic melanoma cell lines spread broadly through the lymphatic system and are taken up by lymphatic endothelial cells reinforcing lymph node metastasis. Melanoma-derived sEVs induce lymphangiogenesis, a hallmark of pre-metastatic niche formation, in vitro and in lymphoreporter mice in vivo. Analysis of involved factors demonstrated that the neural growth factor receptor (NGFR) is secreted in melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles and shuttled to lymphatic endothelial cells inducing lymphangiogenesis and tumor cell adhesion through the activation of ERK and NF-B pathways and ICAM1 expression. Importantly, ablation or inhibition of NGFR in sEVs reversed the lymphangiogenic phenotype, decreased melanoma lymph node metastasis and extended mice survival. Importantly, analysis of NGFR expression in lymph node metastases and matched primary tumors shows that levels of MITF+NGFR+ lymph node metastatic cells are correlated with disease outcome. Our data support that NGFR is secreted in sEVs favoring lymph node pre-metastatic niche formation and lymph node metastasis in melanoma.

Transcription profiling of oral cavity samples from human squamous cell carcinoma patients

Project description:Metastasis via the lymphatics is a major risk factor in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (OSCC). We sought to determine whether the presence of metastasis in the regional lymph node could be predicted by a gene expression signature of the primary tumor. A total of 18 OSCCs were characterized for gene expression by hybridizing RNA to Affymetrix U133A gene chips. Genes with differential expression were identified using a permutation technique and verified by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. A predictive rule was built using a support vector machine, and the accuracy of the rule was evaluated using crossvalidation on the original data set and prediction of an independent set of four patients. Metastatic primary tumors could be differentiated from nonmetastatic primary tumors by a signature gene set of 116 genes. This signature gene set correctly predicted the four independent patients as well as associating five lymph node metastases from the original patient set with the metastatic primary tumor group. We concluded that lymph node metastasis could be predicted by gene expression profiles of primary oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas. The presence of a gene expression signature for lymph node metastasis indicates that clinical testing to assess risk for lymph node metastasis should be possible.

WG-DASL expression profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary breast tumours and matched lymph node metastases across four clinically relevant metastatic groups

Project description:The development of metastases is a complex multi-step process manifested by diverse patterns, involving single or multiple organs and different time-courses of distant recurrences. The aim of this study was to characterise molecular patterns associated with patterns of organ-specific metastatic spread observed in the clinic from FFPE embedded breast carcinomas and lymph node metastases. This study includes patients with four patterns of first metastatic sites: bone only (with no visceral metastases within 6 months of first metastasis); to viscera only (with no bone metastasis within 6 months of first metastasis); to bone and visceral organs within a 6 month period; and no recorded distant metastasis. The study population was composed of 5,061 patients diagnosed with invasive primary breast cancer without distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis between 1975 and 2005 from Guyâs Hospital. From the study population, an incidence-based case-control design was used to include patients from each of the metastatic groups and a control series randomly matched to cases according to having no reported metastasis up to the calendar date of metastasis. The aim of this expression profiling study was to characterise any molecular patterns that may be associated with the organ-specific metastatic spread observed in the clinic from FFPE embedded breast carcinomas and lymph node metastases.

Prognostic value of biomarkers EpCAM and B-crystallin is associated with lymphatic metastasis in breast cancer by iTRAQ analysis

Project description:Metastasis is responsible for the majority of deaths in a variety of cancer types, including breast cancer. Although several factors or biomarkers have been identified to predict the outcome of patients with breast cancer, few studies have been conducted to identify metastasis-associated biomarkers. Quantitative iTRAQ proteomics analysis was used to detect differentially expressed proteins between lymph node metastases and their paired primary tumor tissues from 23 patients with metastatic breast cancer. Immunohistochemistry was performed to validate the expression of two upregulated (EpCAM, FADD) and two downregulated (NDRG1, αB-crystallin) proteins in 190 paraffin-embedded tissue samples. These four proteins were further analyzed for their correlation with clinicopathological features in 190 breast cancer patients. We identified 637 differentially regulated proteins (397 upregulated and 240 downregulated) in lymph node metastases compared with their paired primary tumor tissues. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis using GEO profiling confirmed the difference in the expression of EpCAM between metastases and primary tumors tissues. Two upregulated (EpCAM, FADD) and two downregulated (NDRG1, αB-crystallin) proteins were associated with the progression of breast cancer. Obviously, EpCAM plays a role in the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lymph node. We further identified αB-crystallin as an independent biomarker to predict lymph node metastasis and the outcome of breast cancer patients.
