Project description:CD47 is best known for its role in tumor immune evasion; however, studies in diverse cell models indicate that it also has cell-autonomous, tumor-promoting functions which are cell type- and context-specific. Motivated by the prognostic and therapeutic significance of CD47 and the limited knowledge regarding its roles beyond immune evasion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we sought to define the cellular and molecular processes driven by intrinsic CD47 signaling in NSCLC. Transcriptome profiling of CD47 wildtype and knockout NSCLC cells implicated its regulation of genes enriched for signatures of MAPK signaling and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). A significant positive association between CD47 and MAPK/EMT expression signatures was also evident in large cohorts of NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues. Functional studies indicated that CD47 does not regulate cell proliferation in NSCLC cells like it does in other cancer types. Instead, CD47 regulates cell adhesion and migration through an ERK and EMT axis, validating our transcriptomic findings. Moreover, CD47 loss-of-function significantly diminished the ability of NSCLC cells to metastasize in vivo, demonstrating the physiological relevance of cell-intrinsic CD47 signaling in lung cancer cells. Our data reveal a novel role for CD47 in relaying signals through ERK to promote EMT expression programs and pro-metastatic phenotypes in NSCLC. Although additional mechanistic studies are needed to further decipher the CD47-ERK-EMT signaling pathway, our findings reinforce the therapeutic potential of CD47, rationalizing further research to develop CD47 blockade as a multimodal therapy for NSCLC.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppress antitumor immune activities and facilitate cancer progression. Although the concept of immunosuppressive MDSCs is well established, the mechanism that MDSCs regulate non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression through the paracrine signals is still lacking. Here, we reported that the infiltration of MDSCs within NSCLC tissues were associated with the progression of cancer status, and were positively correlated with the Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model establishment, and poor patient prognosis. Intratumoral MDSCs directly promoted NSCLC metastasis and highly expressed chemokines that promote NSCLC cells invasion, including CCL11. CCL11 was capable of activating the AKT and ERK signaling pathways to promote NSCLC metastasis through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Moreover, high expression of CCL11 was associated with a poor prognosis in lung cancer as well as other types of cancer. Our findings underscore that MDSCs produce CCL11 to promote NSCLC metastasis via activation of ERK and AKT signaling and induction of EMT, suggesting that the MDSCs-CCL11-ERK/AKT-EMT axis contains potential targets for NSCLC metastasis treatment.

Project description:In autoimmune diseases, accumulation of activated leukocytes correlates with inflammation and disease progression, and therefore, disruption of leukocyte trafficking is an active area of research. The protein kinase Tpl2 (MAP3K8) regulates leukocyte inflammatory responses and is also being investigated for therapeutic inhibition during autoimmunity. Herein, we addressed the contribution of Tpl2 to the regulation of macrophage chemokine and chemokine receptor expression and subsequent migration in vivo using a mouse model of Tpl2 ablation. We found that gene expression of the chemokine ligands CCL2, CCL7, CXCL2, and CXCL3 as well as the chemokine receptors CCR1 and CCR5 were reduced in macrophages from the bone marrow and peritoneal cavities of tpl2-/- mice following stimulation with LPS. LPS stimulation repressed chemokine receptor expression of CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5. Notably, LPS-induced repression of CCR1 and CCR5 was significantly enhanced in Tpl2-deficient macrophages and was observed to be dependent upon Erk activation and independent of PI3K and mTOR signaling. Consistent with alterations in chemokine and chemokine receptor expression, tpl2-/- macrophages were defective in trafficking to the peritoneal cavity following thioglycollate-induced inflammation. Overall, this study demonstrates a Tpl2-dependent mechanism for macrophage expression of both chemokine receptors and their ligands and provides further insight into how Tpl2 inhibition may disrupt inflammatory networks in vivo. microarray was used to profile the genome-wide expression patterns in Tpl2 wild-type and deficient macrophage.

Project description:Tumor budding (TB), clusters of less than 5 cells dissociated from the tumor mass, is reported to predict nodal involvement and recurrence in multiple human cancers including gastric carcinoma (GC). However, it is not clear how TB forms. In this study, we determined the expression pattern of GAGE12I, CTNND1, Kif26B, CREB1 and ZBTB7A in human GC samples by IHC attempting to find any TB-related markers. The results showed that TB could predict lymph node metastasis and is negatively associated with the overall survival of GC patients. The expression of ZBTB7A in the tumor margin (invasive front), rather than the other four markers, was much higher than that inside the tumor and was positively correlated with TB score. Moreover, patients with higher marginal ZBTB7A expression had poorer prognosis. ZBTB7A could enhance the migration and invasion capabilities of GC cells in vitro. Mechanically, ZBTB7A might activate EGFR-MAPK-ERK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, which resulted in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to induce the formation of TB. Thus, we concluded that higher ZBTB7A expression in the tumor margin may contribute to the dissociation of tumor cells from the tumor mass to form TB by initiating EMT via EGFR-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.

Project description:SHP2 inhibitors (SHP2i) alone and in various combinations are being tested in multiple tumors with over-activation of the RAS/ERK pathway. SHP2 plays critical roles in normal cell signaling; hence, SHP2is could influence the tumor microenvironment. We found that SHP2i treatment depleted alveolar and M2-like macrophages, induced tumor-intrinsic CCL5/CXCL10 secretion and promoted B and T lymphocyte infiltration in Kras- and Egfr- mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, treatment also increased intratumor gMDSCs via tumor-intrinsic, NF-kB-dependent production of CXCR2 ligands. Other RAS/ERK pathway inhibitors also induced CXCR2 ligands and gMDSC influx in mice, and CXCR2 ligands were induced in tumors from patients on KRASG12C-inhibitor trials. Combined SHP2(SHP099)/CXCR1/2(SX682) inhibition depleted a specific cluster of S100a8/9high gMDSCs, generated Klrg1+ CD8+ effector T cells with a strong cytotoxic phenotype but expressing the checkpoint receptor NKG2A, and enhanced survival in Kras- and Egfr-mutant models. Our results argue for testing RAS/ERK pathway/CXCR1/2/NKG2A inhibitor combinations in NSCLC patients.

Abstract:
EGFR signaling plays a very important role in NSCLC. It activates Ras/ERK, PI3K/Akt and STAT activation pathways. These are the main pathways for cell proliferation and survival. We have developed two mathematical models to relate to the different EGFR signaling in NSCLC and normal cells in the presence or absence of EGFR and PTEN mutations. The dynamics of downstream signaling pathways vary in the disease state and activation of some factors can be indicative of drug resistance. Our simulation denotes the effect of EGFR mutations and increased expression of certain factors in NSCLC EGFR signaling on each of the three pathways where levels of pERK, pSTAT and pAkt are increased. Over activation of ERK, Akt and STAT3 which are the main cell proliferation and survival factors act as promoting factors for tumor progression in NSCLC. In case of loss of PTEN, Akt activity level is considerably increased. Our simulation results show that in the presence of erlotinib, downstream factors i.e. pAkt, pSTAT3 and pERK are inhibited. However, in case of loss of PTEN expression in the presence of erlotinib, pAkt level would not decrease which demonstrates that these cells are resistant to erlotinib.

Project description:This study is the first report demonstrating a novel mechanism by which CD70 promotes clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) progression and metastasis, at least in part, through suppression of NF1 and subsequent activation of the Ras/ERK signaling pathway, which may further drive EMT-related features and enhance tumor metastatic potential. These insights provide a mechanistic rationale for targeting CD70, either alone or in combination with inhibitors of the Ras/ERK pathway or modulators of EMT, to impede metastasis in patients with advanced ccRCC.
