Fibronectin-binding integrins alpha-v-beta6 and alpha9beta1 drive TGF-beta independent directional migration of head and neck carcinoma collectives through fibroblast-derived matrix

ABSTRACT: For a tumor to develop and spread, the growth-repressive environment of the host tissue must undergo profound changes. These include dramatic modifications in the molecular composition and architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and altered integrin expression in cancer cells to allow productive interactions. An overwhelming proportion of histopathologically invasive carcinomas, including HNSCC, retain an epithelial phenotype at invading tumor fronts. Local adhesion-dependent signals at the tumor-stroma interface can govern the different modes that tumor cells adopt to invade surrounding stroma. Defining the nature and organization of the tumor ECM and the adhesive interactions that promote cancer cell invasion is of utmost importance for tailoring effective therapies to control locoregional expansion and metastatic dissemination.

Functional interplay between tumour cells and their neoplastic extracellular matrix plays a decisive role in malignant progression of carcinomas. Here we provide a comprehensive data set of the human HNSCC-associated fibroblast matrisome. Although much attention has been paid to the deposit of collagen, we identify oncofetal fibronectin (FN) as a major and obligate component of the matrix assembled by stromal fibroblasts from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). FN overexpression in t ...[more]

Project description:Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease for which prognosis and treatment strategies are largely governed by the receptor status (estrogen, progesterone and Her2-neu) of the tumor cells. Gene expression profiling of whole breast tumors further stratifies breast cancer into several molecular subtypes which also co-segregate with the receptor status of the tumor cells. We postulated that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor stroma may exhibit subtype specific gene expression profiles and thus contribute to the biology of the disease in a subtype specific manner. Several studies have reported gene expression profile differences between CAFs and normal breast fibroblasts but in none of these studies were the results stratified based on tumor subtypes. To address whether gene expression in breast cancer associated fibroblasts varies between breast cancer subtypes, we compared the gene expression profiles of early passage primary CAFs isolated from twenty human breast cancer samples representing three main subtypes; seven ER+, seven triple negative (TNBC) and six Her2+. We observed significant expression differences between CAFs derived from Her2+ breast cancer and CAFs from TNBC and ER+ cancers, particularly in pathways associated with cytoskeleton and integrin signaling. In the case of Her2+ breast cancer, the signaling pathways found to be selectively up regulated in CAFs may contribute to the more invasive properties and unfavorable prognosis of Her2+ breast cancer. These data demonstrate that in addition to the distinct molecular profiles that characterize the neoplastic cells, CAF gene expression is also differentially regulated in distinct subtypes of breast cancer. We isolated CAFs from twenty primary breast cancer samples representing three main subtypes (ER+ (n=7), TNBC (n=7), Her2+ (n=6)) and performed gene expression profile analyses on RNA isolated from these early passage CAFs. Those samples were done in two batches with 4 samples repeated in both batches. One TNBC sample was found to be an outlier and not used in the analysis.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are acknowledged key determinants in the progression of cancer and thereby represent important targets for cancer therapies. Given the increase attention that ablative radiotherapy is gaining in the clinics, in this study we have aimed at identifying the transcriptional responses occurring in primary CAFs exposed to high-dose irradiation. Established primary cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) obtained from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient material were irradiated with a single dose of 18 Gy and total RNA was isolated 24 hrs after treatment. Radiation-induced transcriptional alterations were investigated by gene expression analysis using genome-wide microarrays. Obtained results were verified by qRT-PCR of relevant genes. To confirm the data achieved by microarrays, diverse functional assays were performed including DNA damage response foci assay, measurements of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by flow cytometry and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase assays were applied. Irradiation resulted in differential expression of 680 genes of which 553 were up- and 127 down-regulated. 153 genes were differentially expressed with a fold-change greater than 1 and an adjusted p-value less than 0.05 across different comparisons (non-irradiated vs. irradiated). Expression patterns revealed profound changes in biological functions and processes involved in DNA repair, apoptosis, p53 pathway, autophagy, senescence, ROS production and immune response. Conclusions: CAFs display pro- and anti-tumorigenic effects after having received a single high-dose radiation. The effects might have an impact on the tumor microenvironment in respect to tumor growth and metastasis. The complexity of the observed differential gene expression patterns and implicative biological effects are interesting future objectives for further elucidation. Established primary cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) obtained from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient material were irradiated with a single dose of 18 Gy and total RNA was isolated 24 hrs after treatment.
