MicroRNA expression in prostate cancer cells stimulated with cancer associated fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Tumor microenvironment is a strong determinant for the acquisition of metastatic potential of cancer cells. It has been demonstrated (Giannoni E et al., Cancer Res 2010) that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) elicit an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in prostate cancer (PCa) cells, leading to enhanced tumor cell aggressiveness. Here, we investigated the involvement of microRNAs (miRNA) in such malignant tumor-stroma interplay, to identify possible tools to counteract metastasis dissemination.

MicroRNA expression in prostate cancer cells stimulated with cancer associated fibroblasts

Project description:Tumor microenvironment is a strong determinant for the acquisition of metastatic potential of cancer cells. It has been demonstrated (Giannoni E et al., Cancer Res 2010) that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) elicit an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in prostate cancer (PCa) cells, leading to enhanced tumor cell aggressiveness. Here, we investigated the involvement of microRNAs (miRNA) in such malignant tumor-stroma interplay, to identify possible tools to counteract metastasis dissemination. To verify whether specific miRNAs are involved in CAF-induced EMT in PCa cells, PC-3 cells were subjected to a variety of stimuli, known to induce or not the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype (Giannoni E et al., Cancer Res 2010; Giannoni E et al., Antioxid Redox Signal 2011) , and profiled for miRNA expression on a microarray platform. miRNA expression profiles successfully distinguished cells that underwent EMT following the stimulation with activated fibroblasts (here referred to as “mesenchymal”) from cells that did not (“epithelial”).

Loss of androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promotes CCL2‐ and CXCL8‐mediated cancer cell migration

Project description:Fibroblasts are abundantly present in the prostate tumor microenvironment (TME), including cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which play a key role in cancer development. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is the main driver of prostate cancer (PCa) progression, and stromal cells in the TME also express AR. High‐grade tumor and poor clinical outcome are associated with low AR expression in the TME, which suggests a protective role of AR signaling in the stroma against PCa development. However, the mechanism of this relation is not clear. In this study, we isolated AR‐expressing CAF‐like cells. Testosterone (R1881) exposure did not affect CAF‐like cell morphology, proliferation, or motility. PCa cell growth was not affected by culturing in medium from R1881‐exposed CAF‐like cells; however, migration of PCa cells was inhibited. AR chromatin immune precipitation sequencing (ChIP‐seq) was performed and motif search suggested that AR in CAF‐like cells bound the chromatin through AP‐1‐elements upon R1881 exposure, inducing enhancer‐mediated AR chromatin interactions. The vast majority of chromatin binding sites in CAF‐like cells were unique and not shared with AR sites observed in PCa cell lines or tumors. AR signaling in CAF‐like cells decreased expression of multiple cytokines; most notably CCL2 and CXCL8 and both cytokines increased migration of PCa cells. These results suggest direct paracrine regulation of PCa cell migration by CAFs through AR signaling.

Prostate cancer cancer-associated fibroblasts with stable markers post-androgen deprivation therapy associated with tumor progression and castration resistant prostate cancer

Project description:The specificity and clinical relevance of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in prostate cancer (PCa), as well as the impact of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on CAFs, remain to be fully elucidated. Employing cell lineage diversity and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we pinpointed a unique CAF signature exclusive to PCa. The specificity of this CAF signature was validated through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), cell line RNA sequencing, and immunohistochemistry. This signature associates CAFs with tumor progression, elevated Gleason scores, and the emergence of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Utilizing scRNA-seq on collected samples, we demonstrated that the CAF-specific signature is not altered by ADT, maintaining its peak signal output. Identifying a PCa-specific CAF signature and observing signaling changes in CAFs after ADT lay an essential groundwork for further PCa studies.

Glycoprotein Signatures for Aggressive Prostate Cancer via SWATH mass spectrometry

Project description:The identification of biomarkers indicating the level of aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PCa) addresses an urgent clinical need to minimize the general over-treatment of patients with non-aggressive PCa, which account for the majority of PCa cases. In this study we combined N-glycopeptide isolation and SWATH-MS towards the molecular characterization of tumor malignancy and aggressiveness. Here, we isolated formerly N-linked glycopeptides from normal prostate (n=10), non-aggressive (n=22), aggressive (n=16) and metastatic PCa (n=25) tumor tissues and analyzed the samples by SWATH-MS, an emerging data independent mass spectrometric acquisition method that generates a single MS file containing fragment ion spectra of all ionized species of a sample. The resulting datasets were searched using a targeted data analysis strategy where a priori spectral reference library representing known N-glycosites of the human proteome was used to identify groups of signals in the SWATH-MS data. On-average we identified 1430 N-glycosites from each SWATH map of which 1057 were quantified across all samples. The 220 glycoproteins that showed significant quantitative changes associated diverse biological processes with the level of PCa aggressiveness and metastasis and indicated functional relationships with common PCa genomic mutations.

Targeting myoferlin in ER/Golgi vesicle trafficking reprograms cancer-associated fibroblasts in pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer cells exploit vesicle trafficking proteins such as myoferlin to fuel tumor aggressiveness, yet the presence and function of myoferlin-dependent vesicles in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) remain unknown. By combining PDAC whole-tumor and single-cell transcriptomic analyses with immunohistochemistry and 2D/3D in vitro models, we link stromal myoferlin to tumor aggressiveness. We identify CAF-specific functions of myoferlin, as MYOF-depleted CAFs present reduced activity and impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) production. Analysis of intracellular vesicles identifies a TGFß-receptor 1 (TGFBR1) trafficking blockade at the ER/Golgi interface upon myoferlin depletion, leading to altered TGFBR1 activation, impaired signal transduction, loss of ECM production and reduced CAF contractility. The genetic depletion of myoferlin in the murine tumor stroma and the pharmacological targeting of myoferlin alike reduced tumor desmoplasia in orthotopic KPC mice. Overall, we propose TGFBR1 trafficking as innovative target to reprogram CAFs, control desmoplasia and tackle these aggressive features in pancreatic cancer.

The transcriptome profile of the stomach fibroblasts with high-metastatic or low-metastatic gastric cancer cell.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have an important role in the tumor progression. CAFs are heterogeneous, and its subpopulation with distinct functions have been regarded as the major obstacle to CAF targeting therapy. However, it is still unclear how cancer cells mediate CAF subpopulations and create preferable tumor microenvironment for their metastasis. Because the CAF subpopulations are likely depending on the cancer cell subtypes and aggressiveness, it is conceivable the possibility that high-metastatic cancer cells have the capacity to induce the appropriate CAF subpopulation compared with low-metastatic cancer cells. To make it clear, by using the metastatic cancer cell line models of diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC), we cultured the immortalized stomach fibroblasts with high-metastatic and low-metastatic DGC cell lines. And then, we compared the transcriptome profile of them by microarray analysis. It has shown that high-metastatic DGC cells can induce at least two types of CAF-like phenotypes: myofibroblastic feature and chemokine producing feature. We also found that these two features of fibroblasts were basically distributed in the different fibroblasts. These data indicated that high-metastatic DGC cells form the distinct CAF subpopulations.

Proteomic analysis of prostate cancer FFPE samples reveals markers of disease progression and aggressiveness

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men. Diagnosis and risk assessment are widely based on serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and biopsy which have low accuracy. Towards the discovery of biomarkers for better patient stratification, we performed proteomic analysis of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) prostate tissue specimens following optimized sample preparation protocol and LC-MS/MS. Comparative analysis of 86 PCa samples among grade groups 1-5 identified 301 differentially expressed proteins involved in metabolism, angiogenesis, response to stress and cytoskeleton organization. Additional analysis based on biochemical recurrence (BCR; BCR+ n=14, BCR- n=51) revealed 197 differentially expressed proteins that indicate disease persistence. Filtering the overlapping proteins of these analyses, seven proteins (NPM1, UQCRH, HSPA9, MRPL3, VCAN, SERBP1, HSPE1) had increased expression in advanced grades and in BCR+/BCR- and may play a critical role in PCa aggressiveness and persistence. Notably, our observations for NPM1, UQCRH and VCAN were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), where they were upregulated in BCR+/BCR-. UQCRH levels were also associated with 5-year survival. Our study provides valuable insights on the key regulators of PCa progression and aggressiveness. The seven selected proteins could be used for the development of risk assessment tools.

The Marrow Niche Controls The Cancer Stem Cell Phenotype Of Disseminated Prostate Cancer

Project description:Dissemination of cancer stem cells (CSCs) serves as the basis of metastasis. Recently, we demonstrated that circulating prostate cancer (PCa) targets the hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) ‘niche’ in marrow during dissemination. Once in the niche, disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) may remain dormant for extended periods. As the major function of the HSC niche is to maintain stem cell functions, we hypothesized that the niche regulates CSC activities of DTCs. We show that DTCs recovered from marrow were significantly enriched for a CSC phenotype. Critically, the conversion of DTCs to CSCs is regulated by niche. The data demonstrate that the niche plays a significant role in maintaining tumor-initiating PCa in marrow and suggests a functional relationship between CSCs and dormancy. Understanding how the marrow niche regulates the conversion of DTCs to CSCs is critical for the development of therapeutics specifically targeting skeletal bone metastasis and dormancy. We used microarrays to determine the global changes in gene expression underlying the significant roles of the marrow niche in activating cancer stem-like cell programs of prostate caner.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts produce matrix-bound vesicles that influence endothelial cell function (part 1: Proteins transferred from cancer-associated fibroblasts to endothelial cells : trans-SILAC)

Project description:Intercellular communication between different cell types in solid tumors contributes to tumor growth and metastatic dissemination. The secretome of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) plays major roles in these processes. Using human mammary CAFs, we unveil a mechanism of cell-cell communication between CAFs with a myofibroblast phenotype and endothelial cells (ECs) based on intercellular protein transfer through extracellular vesicles (EVs). CAFs transfer proteins to ECs, including plasma membrane receptors, which we have identified by using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Using THY1 as an example of transferred plasma membrane-bound protein, we show that CAF-derived proteins can influence how ECs interact with other cell types. Here, we show that CAFs produce high amounts of matrix-bound EVs that have a key role in protein transfer. Hence, our work paves the way for further studies to understand how CAF-derived matrix-bound EVs influence tumor pathology by regulating functions of neighboring cancer, stromal and immune cells.
