Project description:Aggressive local invasion is the major way of spread in uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). Although TGF-b facilitates invasion of various types of cancer cells, the role of TGF-b pathway in CSCC is unclear. Through array-based analysis, immunohistochemical staining of human endometrial cancer tissue, it is shown that interaction between CSCC cells and surrounding cancer asscocited fibroblasts (CAFs) activates TGF-b via TSP-1 secretion to facilitate CSCC invade, resulting in up-regulation of pSMAD3 in CSCC cells to promote invasion. These results suggest that activation of TGF-b induced by the interaction between CSCC cells and CAFs could play a key role in the initiation of tumor spreads. We used microarrays to clarify the changes of gene expression along with recombinant TGF-b1 treatment and to confirm whether there are any changes on genes expression related to TGF-b pathway.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) existing in tumor stroma play a crucial role in tumor progression. Here, we show that stromal fibroblasts near cancer cells are likely to display up-regulated RHBDF2 expression caused by chronic stimulation from pro-inflammatory cytokines. RHBDF2 promotes both the cleavage of type I transforming growth factor (TGF)-b receptor, through tumor necrosis factor α converting enzyme activation, and the motility of CAFs upon stimulation with TGF-b1. High-motility CAFs can consequently assist cancer cell invasion. Furthermore, the expression profiles of these cytokines are significantly associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer (GC) patients. These findings highlight the underlying mechanism whereby cancer cells take advantage of CAFs to acquire invasiveness.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote tumor progression through several mechanisms. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in CAFs tumor-promoting properties, however, their role in CAFs from different topological areas in lung cancer progression remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize the miRNA expression profile of fibroblasts isolated from matched tumor front (F-CAFs), inner tumor (In-CAFs), and normal adjacent tissue (NFs) in lung adenocarcinoma, using microarray analysis and RT-qPCR. Proliferation and invasion assays of A549 lung cancer cells were performed in the presence of conditioned medium from F-CAFs, In-CAFs and NFs. Pathway enrichment analysis and miRNA-target networks were performed to identify tumorigenesis-related miRNAs. Both F-CAFs and In-CAFs enhanced the proliferation and invasion of A549 cells compared to NFs; however, F-CAFs showed a significantly stronger effect than In-CAFs. qPCR demonstrated three downregulated miRNAs in F-CAFs versus NFs (miR-145-3p, miR-299-3 p, miR-505-3p) and two in F-CAFs versus In-CAFs (miR-410-3p, miR-485-5p). Deregulated miRNAs showed significant association to “pathways in cancer”, “Wnt signaling pathway”, and “TGF-beta signaling pathway”, targeting tumor-promoting growth factors as IGF1 and VEGFA. Our findings suggest that deregulated miRNAs in F-CAFs, which showed the strongest effect on the invasive and proliferative capacity of A546 cancer cells, present potential predictive association with tumor-promoting properties.

Project description:Metastaticsis disease remains, by far, the leading cause of all cancer-related deaths, despite being a process highly inefficient. The metastatic process is highly inefficient as the initial dissemination of cancer cells from many primary tumors involves intravasation to lymphatics nodes or blood vessels, a process poorly understood. To investigate generalthe molecular mechanisms involved in this step we analyzed the expression of the epigenetic regulators small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), a highly prevalent malignant tumor that mainly spreads to lymph nodes. Here we report the reduced expression of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in primary cSCCs that metastasized when compared to non-metastasizing cSCCs, and the progressive loss of DKC1 (the protein that stabilizes the snoRNAs) along the metastasis of the carcinomas. DWe demonstrate that depletion of DKC1 in cSCC cells resulted in a switch totriggers lipid metabolism and the acquisition of metastatic traits. Treatment of DKC1-depleted cells with simvastatin, an inhibitor of the mevalonate pathway, blocked the expression of proteins involved in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting that the rewiring of the lipid metabolism is required to acquire the invasion abilities. Furthermore, the expression of the enzyme HMGCS1 is associated with pathologic features of high metastatic risk in cSCC patients, underpinning the relevance of the mevalonate metabolism in the lymphatic dissemination step.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment strongly influences cancer development, progression and metastasis. The role of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in these processes and their clinical impact has not been studied systematically in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We established primary cultures of CAFs and matched normal fibroblasts (NFs) from 15 resected NSCLC. We demonstrate that CAFs have greater ability than NFs to enhance the tumorigenicity of lung cancer cell lines. Microarray gene expression analysis of the 15 matched CAF and NF cell lines identified 46 differentially expressed genes, encoding for proteins that are significantly enriched for extracellular proteins regulated by the TGF-beta signaling pathway. We have identified a subset of 11 genes that formed a prognostic gene expression signature, which was validated in multiple independent NSCLC microarray datasets. Functional annotation using protein-protein interaction analyses of these and published cancer stroma-associated gene expression changes revealed prominent involvement of the focal adhesion and MAPK signalling pathways. Fourteen (30%) of the 46 genes also were differentially expressed in laser-capture micro-dissected corresponding primary tumor stroma compared to the matched normal lung. Six of these 14 genes could be induced by TGF-beta1 in NF. The results establish the prognostic impact of CAF-associated gene expression changes in NSCLC patients. Methylation profiles of 5 pairs of were included in a molecular characterization of NSCLC fibroblast cell lines (CAFs) vs. normal lung fibroblasts (NFs). Methylation profiles of 5 paired primary NSCLC fibroblast cell lines (CAFs) and normal lung fibroblasts (NFs) were generated. Genes were determined to be hyper- and hypo-methylated based on paired analysis.

Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a serious public health problem due to its high incidence and metastatic potential. It may progress from actinic keratosis (AK), a precancerous lesion, or the in situ carcinoma Bowen's disease (BD). During this progression, malignant keratinocytes activate dermal fibroblasts into tumor-promoting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), whose origin and emergence remain largely unknown. Here, we generate and analyze >115,000 single-cell transcriptomes from healthy skin, BD and cSCC of male donors. Our results reveal immunoregulatory and matrix-remodeling CAF subtypes that might derive from pro-inflammatory and mesenchymal fibroblasts, respectively. These CAF subtypes are largely absent in AK and interact with different cell types to establish a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment. These findings are cSCC-specific and could not be recapitulated in basal cell carcinomas. Our study provides important insights into the functionalities of dermal CAFs that will be highly beneficial for the specific targeting of the cSCC microenvironment.

Project description:The first step in metastasis is dissemination of tumor cells into the surrounding tissue, or stroma. In carcinomas, cancers of epithelial origin, tumor cells must first breach the basement membrane (BM), a network that encapsulates the tumor. As tumor progresses, other cell types that reside in the stroma, such as carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) accumulate around the tumor. Whether CAFs can help cancer cells to breach the BM remains an open question. Here we show that CAFs promote cancer cell invasion by physically remodeling the BM. Using a novel 3D in vitro model we observed that primary CAFs isolated from colon cancer patients stimulate cancer cell invasion through a native mesenteric BM. This stimulated invasion is the result of the physical presence of CAFs rather than an increased invasive potential of cancer cells. In the presence of CAFs, cancer cells can invade the BM in a matrix metalloproteinase-independent manner. Using live imaging, we found that CAFs actively pull and stretch the BM, leading to the formation of gaps through which cancer cells can migrate. Notably, CAF-mediated gap-widening is independent of proteolysis but relies on actomyosin contractility. We propose that CAFs exert mechanical forces that alter the organization and the physical properties of the BM, making it permissive for cancer cell invasion.
