Hypoxia-Enhanced Podoplanin-Defined Tumour Plasticity Drives CCR7-Mediated Lymphatic Metastasis in Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT: Background: Lymphatic metastasis is strongly associated with poor prognosis. Although the chemokine receptor CCR7 is a well-established promoter of lymphatic dissemination, its prognostic relevance remains weak. We show that tumour cell plasticity, defined by upregulation of podoplanin (PDPN) and promoted by hypoxia, intersects with CCR7 function in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: In vivo and in vitro studies using a CCR7-expressing TNBC mouse model were combined with transcriptomic profiling. Human relevance was assessed using scRNA-seq datasets from cell lines and primary tumours, as well as the METABRIC breast cancer cohorts (n = 1784). Results: A PDPN-defined epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) state—promoted by hypoxia—was required for efficient CCR7-driven lymphatic metastasis and tumour progression. PDPN-expression was linked to elevated tumour cell collagen-expression and suppression of interferon-signalling, features associated with an immune-cold microenvironment. PDPN-expression with effects on interferon and collagen programs were observed across murine and human TNBC/basal-like cell lines. In primary TNBC, PDPN-expression correlated with EMT, collagen, and hypoxia signatures, mirroring murine findings. In METABRIC, high CCR7–PDPN co-expression predicted poor survival in lymph node–positive patients, whereas either marker alone lacked prognostic value. Conclusions: PDPN is a tumour-cell-associated biomarker of plasticity in TNBC, revealing synergy between specific hypoxia-induced EMT-states and CCR7 in promoting lymphatic dissemination and poor prognosis.

The BET inhibitor JQ1 selectively impairs the tumour response to hypoxia and downregulates CA9 and angiogenesis in triple receptor negative breast cancer

Project description:This study aimed to investigate whether the BET inhibitor JQ1 could alter the hypoxia-induced upregulation of gene expression and have an anti-tumour effect associated with this mechanism. We showed JQ1 downregulates 44% of hypoxia upregulated genes, including CA9 and VEGF-A. We demonstrated that JQ1 reduces triple receptor negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumour growth in monolayer and spheroid (3D) cell culture.

TGF-b1 stimulates lymphatic endothelial cells to produce IL-7 and IL-15, which act as chemotactic factors for breast cancer cells with EMT properties

Project description:The lymphatic system is a major gateway for tumor cell dissemination but the mechanisms of how tumor cells gain access to lymphatic vessels are not completely understood. Breast cancer cells undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gain invasive and migratory properties. Overexpression of the cytokine transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-b1), a potent inducer of EMT, is frequently detected in the tumor microenvironment and correlates with invasion and lymph metastasis. Recently, we reported that TGF-b1 stimulated breast cancer cells with EMT properties migrate in a targeted fashion towards the lymphatic system via CCR7/CCL21-mediated chemotaxis, similar to dendritic cells during inflammation. Here, we aimed to identify additional chemotactic factors and receptors that could be involved in this. Through a combination of RNA sequencing analysis, database screening and invasion assays we identified IL-7/IL7R and IL-15/IL15R as pairs of chemokines and chemokine receptors with potential roles in promoting chemotactic migration of breast cancer cells with EMT properties towards the lymphatics. The results warrant studies to further explore their possible roles in lymph metastasis in breast cancer. Moreover, they demonstrate the capacity of TGF-b1 to orchestrate crosstalk between tumor cells and lymphatic endothelial cells.

Gene expression data of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell and Podoplanin (PDPN) siRNA treatment

Project description:Podoplanin, a transmembrane sialomucin-like glycoprotein, is now widely used as a marker for lymphatic endothelial cells and fibroblastic reticular cells in lymphoid organs, but its study in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is still limited. The aims of this study were t characterize the role of PDPN in NPC. Our results showed that PDPN was expressed in most TW01 NPC cells. PDPN knockdown by siRNA decreased NPC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Knocking down PDPN results in suppression of NPC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. PDPN may serve as a potential chemotherapeutic target for NPC treatment in the future.

BCL11A: A Novel Breast Cancer Gene which Plays a Critical Role in Mammary Stem Cells and Progenitors

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognostic outcome compared to other types of breast cancer1. At present the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying TNBC pathology are not well understood1. Here we report that the transcription factor BCL11A is overexpressed in TNBC including basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) and that its genomic locus is amplified in up to 38% of BLBC tumours. BCL11A overexpression in immortalised human breast epithelial cells promotes tumour formation in xenograft models, whereas knockdown of BCL11A in TNBC cell lines suppresses their tumourigenic potential. In the DMBA-induced mouse mammary tumour model, Bcl11a is found to be essential for tumourigenesis since deletion of Bcl11a before DMBA treatment substantially decreases tumour formation, even in p53-null cells, and inactivation of Bcl11a in established tumours causes their regression. At the cellular level, BCL11A overexpression enhances clonogenicity in vitro whereas its deletion in the mouse causes a reduction in the number of mammary epithelial stem and progenitor cells. Thus, BCL11A has an important role in the genesis of TNBC and in normal mammary epithelial cells. This study highlights the importance of further investigation of BCL11A in breast cancer diagnosis and targeted therapies. [Mouse] KO is bcl11a deleted mammary stem cells. WT are mammary stem cells with intact Bcl11a. [Human] HMLE tumors overexpressing BCL11A.

Hypoxia transcriptomic time-series data in three different cancer cell lines

Project description:Tumour hypoxia exhibits a highly dynamic spatial and temporal distribution and is associated with increased malignancy and poor prognosis. Assessment of time-dependent gene-expression changes in response to hypoxia may thus provide additional biological insights and help with patient prognosis. Transcriptome profiling was performed for 3 cell lines derived from diverse tumour-types after hypoxic exposure at 8 time-points.

Identification of hypoxia-induced proteins using SILAC-based proteomics

Project description:A hallmark of solid tumours is the development of hypoxic regions where rapidly growing transformed cells outstrip their blood supply. Tumour cells in these starved regions sense reduced levels of oxygen and switch on genes that help them to adapt, survive and continue growing. Since hypoxia is a key physiological difference between normal and cancer tissue, an opportunity exists to selectively kill tumour cells by exploiting the differences in protein expression between normal and hypoxic tumour tissue. However, a major challenge is to identify druggable hypoxia-induced proteins critical for tumour cell survival. This is especially important in cancers of unmet need where hypoxia gene signatures correlate with poor prognosis (for example, colorectal cancers). To identify new hypoxia-induced proteins, we performed SILAC-based proteomics on colorectal cancer cells exposed to normoxia and hypoxia. In this study, we identify a new hypoxia-activated GPCR signalling axis that enables colorectal tumour cells to survive the microenvironmental stress of hypoxia. Our findings uncover a previously unappreciated role for this GPCR-axis as a key regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia and highlght an opportunity to exploit tumour-associated hypoxia for therapy.

Periostin+ stromal cells guide lymphovascular invasion by cancer cells [DSP]

Project description:Cancer cell dissemination to sentinel lymph nodes associates with poor patient outcomes, particularly in breast cancer. The process by which cancer cells egress from the primary tumor upon interfacing with the lymphatic vasculature is complex and driven by dynamic interactions between cancer cells and stromal cells, including cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The matricellular protein periostin can distinguish CAF subtypes in breast cancer and is associated with increased desmoplasia and disease recurrence in patients. However, since periostin is secreted, periostin-expressing CAFs are difficult to characterize in situ, limiting our understanding of their specific contribution to cancer progression. Here, we used in vivo genetic labeling and ablation to lineage trace periostin+ cells and characterize their functions during tumor growth and metastasis. Periostin-expressing CAFs were spatially found at periductal and perivascular margins, were enriched at lymphatic vessel peripheries, and were differentially activated by highly-metastatic cancer cells versus poorly-metastatic counterparts. Surprisingly, genetically depleting periostin+ CAFs slightly accelerated primary tumor growth but impaired intratumoral collagen organization and inhibited lymphatic, but not lung, metastases. Periostin ablation in CAFs impaired their ability to deposit aligned collagen matrices and inhibited cancer cell invasion through collagen and across lymphatic endothelial cell monolayers. Thus, highly-metastatic cancer cells mobilize periostin-expressing CAFs in the primary tumor site that promote collagen remodeling and collective cell invasion within lymphatic vessels and ultimately to sentinel lymph nodes.

RNA-seq analysis CARM1 knockdown effect on MDA-MB-231 cells

Project description:Coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 has been reported to play paramount roles in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer. It promotes breast cancer development and metastasis. However, little research about CARM1 has been focused on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we report that CARM1 promotes proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in TNBC. CARM1 transactivates Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and is physically associated with it. They function together in a concerted complex to regulate downstream targets and promote the carcinogenesis and metastasis of TNBC.

Autophagy Deficiency Promotes Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Resistance to T Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity by Blocking Tenascin-C Degradation

Project description:Most triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients fail to respond to T cell-mediated immunotherapies. Unfortunately, the molecular determinants are still poorly understood. Breast cancer is the disease genetically linked to a deficiency in autophagy. Here, we show that autophagy promotes tumour immune response, and autophagy defects inhibit T cell-mediated killing in TNBC tumours. Mechanistically, we identify Tenascin-C as a strong candidate for autophagy deficiency-mediated immunosuppression, in which Tenascin-C is Lys63-ubiquitinated by Skp2, particularly at Lys924 and Lys1882, thus promoting its recognition by p62 and leading to its selective autophagic degradation. High Tenascin-C expression is associated with poor prognosis and inversely correlated with LC3B expression and CD8+ T cells in TNBC patients. More importantly, inhibition of Tenascin-C in autophagy-impaired TNBC cells sensitizes T cell-mediated tumour killing and improves antitumour effects of single anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy. Our results provide a potential strategy against TNBC with the combination of Tenascin-C blockade and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
