Project description:Brain metastasis is a dismal complication of cancer that hinges on the initial survival and outgrowth of disseminated cancer cells. To better understand these crucial early stages of brain metastatic colonization, we investigated two prevalent sources of cerebral relapse in the clinic, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER2+ breast cancer (HER2BC). We elucidated distinctive early tumor architectures, physical and functional stromal interfaces, and autocrine growth programs employed by these two tumor types to colonize the brain. TNBC cells form extensive perivascular sheath colonies with diffusive contact with astrocytes and microglia. In striking contrast, heightened autonomous deposition of several extracellular matrix components prompts HER2BC cells to colonize the brain as compact, spheroidal colonies, segregating stromal cells to the periphery of the colony. Single-cell dissection of the spatially resolved tumor microenvironment (TME) reveals that brain metastases activate – to different degrees – the canonical stages of the disease-associated microglia (DAM) response previously defined in Alzheimer’s disease. Differential engagement of paracrine tumor-DAM signaling through the receptor AXL suggests specific pro-metastatic functions of the tumor architecture in both TNBC perivascular and HER2BC spheroidal colonies. Collectively, our findings illuminate the distinct stereospatial features of two different yet highly efficient modes of brain colonization, and the relevance of these features in future efforts to leverage the TME to treat brain metastasis.

Project description:Human multipotent stromal cells readily form single-cell-derived colonies when plated at clonal densities. However, the colonies are heterogeneous because cells from a colony form new colonies that vary in size and differentiation potential when replated at clonal densities. The experiments here tested the hypothesis that cells in the inner regions of colonies are partially differentiated, but the differentiation is reversible. Cells were separately isolated from the dense inner (IN) regions and less-dense outer regions (OUT) of single-cell-derived colonies. Cells were then compared by assays of their transcriptomes and proteins, and for clonogenicity and differentiation. IN cells expressed fewer cell-cycle genes and higher levels of genes for extracellular matrix than the OUT cells. When transferred to differentiation medium, differentiation of the colonies occurred primarily in the IN regions. However, the IN cells were indistinguishable from OUT cells when replated at clonal densities and assayed for rates of propagation and clonogenicity. Also, colonies formed by IN cells were similar to colonies formed by OUT cells because they had distinct IN and OUT regions. Cultures of IN and OUT cells remained indistinguishable through multiple passages (30-75 population doublings), and both cells formed colonies that were looser and less dense as they were expanded. The results demonstrated that cells in the IN region of single-cell-derived colonies are partially differentiated, but the differentiation can be reversed by replating the cells at clonal densities.

Project description:Background: Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) continues to be a significant clinical problem with limited treatment options. Highly invasive melanoma cells migrate along the vasculature and perivascular cells may contribute to residual disease and recurrence. PTEN loss and hyperactivation of AKT occur in MBM; however, a role for PTEN/AKT in perivascular invasion has not been described. Methods: We used in vivo intracranial injections of murine melanoma and bulk RNA sequencing of melanoma cells co-cultured with brain endothelial cells (brECs) to investigate brain colonization and perivascular invasion. Results: We found that PTEN-null melanoma cells were highly efficient at colonizing the perivascular niche relative to PTEN-expressing counterparts. PTEN re-expression (PTEN-RE) in melanoma significantly reduced brain colonization and migration along the vasculature. We hypothesized this phenotype was mediated through vascular-induced TGFβ secretion, which drives AKT phosphorylation. Disabling TGFβ signaling in melanoma cells reduced colonization and perivascular invasion; however, introduction of constitutively-active myristolated-AKT (myrAKT) restored overall tumor size but not perivascular invasion. Conclusions: PTEN loss facilitates perivascular brain colonization and invasion of melanoma. TGFβ-AKT signaling partially contributes to this phenotype, but further studies are needed to determine the complementary mechanisms that enable melanoma cells to both survive and spread along the brain vasculature.

Project description:Acidosis is a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment caused by the metabolic switch from glucose oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. It has been largely associated with tumor growth and progression, nevertheless, how acidosis promotes metastatic dissemination remains largely unknown. In this study, we established a long-term acidosis model using patient-derived lung cancer cells. By comparing xenograft inoculates at the cluster sizes of lung cancer circulating tumor cells, the acidosis cells display significantly higher incidence of secondary tumor establishment than their neutral pH counterparts. Transcriptomics analyses reveal a profound remodeling of the extracellular matrix in the acidosis cells, featuring the upregulation of ITGA4 and HAS3 genes, In clinical specimen, overexpression of both ITGA4 and HAS3 proteins are associated with primary tumors with metastatic ability, and their distribution is markedly accentuated around vascular mimicry structures in secondary tumors. We show that acidosis cells display higher ability of vascular mimicry in vitro, and are enriched in ABC transporter-dependent side population cells. Our data support that acidosis drives tumor metastatic colonization via enhanced extracellular matrix remodeling and vascular mimicry. Assessment on the prognostic value of tumor acidosis for metastasis and possible treatment directions are discussed.
