Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) and its multifaceted interactions with cancer cells are major targets for cancer treatment. Single-cell technologies have brought major insights into the TME, but the resulting complexity frequently precludes conclusions on function. Therefore, we combined single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic data to explore the relationship between different cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) populations and immune cell exclusion in breast tumors. Our data show for the first time the degree of spatial organization of different CAF populations in breast cancer. We found that IL-iCAFs, Detox-iCAFs, and IFNγ-iCAFs tended to cluster together, while Wound-myCAFs, TGFb-myCAFs, and ECM-myCAFs formed another group that overlapped with elevated TGF-b signaling. Differential gene expression analysis of areas with CD8+ T-cell infiltration/exclusion within the TGF-b signaling-rich zones identified elastin microfibrillar interface protein 1 (EMILIN1) as a top modulated gene. EMILIN1, a TGF-b inhibitor, was upregulated in IFNγ-iCAFs directly modulating TGFb immunosuppressive function. Histological analysis of 74 breast cancer samples confirmed that high EMILIN-1 expression in the tumor margins was related to high CD8+ T-cell infiltration, consistent with our spatial gene expression analysis. High EMILIN-1 expression was also associated with better prognosis of patients with breast cancer, underscoring its functional significance for the recruitment of cytotoxic T cells into the tumor area. In conclusion, our data show that correlating TGF-b signaling to a CAF subpopulation is not enough because proteins with TGF-b-modulating activity originating from other CAF subpopulations can alter its activity. Therefore, therapeutic targeting should remain focused on biological processes rather than on specific CAF subtypes.

Project description:The Immunoscore is a method to quantify the immune cell infiltration within cancers to predict the disease prognosis. Previous immune profiling approaches relied on limited immune markers to establish patients’ tumor immunity. However, immune cells exhibit a higher-level complexity that is typically not obtained by the conventional immunohistochemistry methods. Herein, we present a spatially variant immune infiltration score, termed as SpatialVizScore, to quantify immune cells infiltration within lung tumor samples using multiplex protein imaging data. Imaging mass cytometry (IMC) was used to target 26 markers in tumors to identify stromal, immune, and cancer cell states within 26 human tissues from lung cancer patients. Unsupervised clustering methods dissected the spatial infiltration of cells in tissue using the high-dimensional analysis of 16 immune markers and other cancer and stroma enriched labels to profile alterations in the tumors’ immune infiltration patterns. Spatially resolved maps of distinct tumors determined the spatial proximity and neighborhoods of immune-cancer cell pairs. These SpatialVizScore maps provided a ranking of patients’ tumors consisting of immune inflamed, immune suppressed, and immune cold states, demonstrating the tumor’s immune continuum assigned to three distinct infiltration score ranges. Several inflammatory and suppressive immune markers were used to establish the cell-based scoring schemes at the single-cell and pixel-level, depicting the cellular spectra in diverse lung tissues. Thus, SpatialVizScore is an emerging quantitative method to deeply study tumor immunology in cancer tissues.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) actively contributes to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) pathogenesis via a dynamic bidirectional tumor–stroma dialog. Here, we show that homologous recombination-defective (HRD) neoplastic epithelium reprograms its TME in a genotype-specific manner to promote cancer aggressiveness. Autochthonous mouse models, co-culture systems, and human PDAC specimens revealed that tumoral ATM serine/threonine kinase status impacts cancer-associated fibroblast fate towards αSMA+ myofibroblastic (myCAF) differentiation, while P53 operates mostly tumor cell intrinsic. Vice versa, myCAFs foster cancer aggressiveness and specific chemoresistance patterns. Secretomics, proteomics, and in vitro approaches uncovered a greater TGF-β1 release in ATM-deficient cells associated with an enhanced reactive oxygen species/actomyosin-mediated mechanism. Pharmacological interference with TGF-β signaling reverts myofibroblast differentiation, chemoresistance, and tumor promotion in various ATM-deficient PDAC models. Overall, our findings demonstrate specific TME reprogramming by HRD PDACs towards a cancer-promoting fate, and their eligibility for combinatorial therapies targeting intrinsic vulnerabilities and extrinsic tumor–stroma oncogenic crosstalks.

Project description:Prostate stroma-specific TGF-beta signaling induces morphological changes in LNCaP cells. We have previously shown that stromal TGF-beta signaling regulates prostate tumor growth. To further delineate the underlying mechanisms, we generated LNCaP cells overexpressing an HA-tagged constitutively activate TGF-beta1 ligand (LNCaP-HA-TGF-β1(a)) and control LNCaP cells (LNCaP-Ctrl), and performed in vitro co-cultures of LNCaP-HA-TGF-β1(a) and LNCaP-Ctrl cells on top of the confluent HPS-19I cells, a human prostate stromal cell line. Since LNCaP cells are defective in TGF-beta receptor I (TbetaRI / ALK-5) that is essential for mediating TGF-beta signaling, only HPS19I cells are able to respond to TGF-beta ligand in these co-cultures. This provides a unique opportunity to study how prostate stromal cell-specific TGF-beta signaling regulates PCa biology. To identify the prostate epithelia-specific gene that was regulated by prostate stromal TGF-beta signaling, we also treated HPS19I cells using conditioned media collected from LNCaP- HA-TGF-β1(a) cells and LNCaP-Ctrl cells cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 0.2% FBS. After 6 days of treatment, we extracted total RNA from these HPS19I cells and performed microarray.

Project description:RNA microarray profiling of 45 tissue samples was carried out using the Affymetrix (U133) gene expression platform. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was employed to isolate cancer cells from the tumors of 18 serous ovarian cancer patients (Cepi). For 7 of these patients, a matched set of surrounding cancer stroma (CS) was also collected. For controls, surface ovarian epithelial cells (OSE) were isolated from the normal (non-cancerous) ovaries of 12 individuals including matched sets of samples of OSE and normal stroma (NS) from 8 of these patients. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the microarray data resulted in the expected separation between the OSE and Cepi samples. Consistent with models of stromal activation, we also observed significant separation between the NS and CS samples. Unexpectedly, the CS samples sub-divided into two distinct groups. Analysis of expression patterns of genes encoding signaling molecules and compatible receptors in the CS and Cepi samples are consistent with the hypothesis that the two CS sub-groups differ significantly in their relative propensities to support tumor growth.The results indicate the existence of distinct categories of ovarian cancer stroma and suggest that functionally significant variability exists among ovarian cancer patients in the ability of the microenvironment to modulate cancer development. Gene expression analysis of 8 normal stroma (NS) and 8 matched normal ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) from 12 individuals, along with 7 cancer stroma and 7 matched cancer epithelium from 18 additional ovarian cancer patients

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. 30 samples: 15 primary lung tumor stroma, 15 normal lung parenchyma

Project description:Tumor environment is of vital importance for the incidence and development of colorectal cancer. In order to decipher tumor environment feature of colorectal cancer and explore the role of its immune context composition in cancer classification, we performed gene expression microarray on microdissection processed stroma compartments of colorectal cancer and adjacent normal tissues. Integrated analysis of our data with public gene expression microarray data of microdissection processed stromal and epithelial tissues of colorectal, we identified three immune subtypes — active immune, active stroma and mixed type. These immune subtypes differed by immune cell infiltration pattern, expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors mutation landscape, extent of mutation burden, extent of copy number burden and prognosis. Together, these results suggested that dividing colorectal cancer characterized by tumor environment is of vital important in predicting patients clinical outcome and help to guide precision and personalized management.
