Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor with a poor prognosis. The treatment strategy has remained virtually unchanged over the past 40 years. Here, we show that the nuclear receptor RORγ may serve as a potential therapeutic target in osteosarcoma. OS exhibits a hyperactivated OXPHOS program, which fuels the carbon source to promote tumor progression. We found that RORγ is overexpressed in OS tumors and is linked to hyperactivated OXPHOS. RORγ induces the expression of PGC-1β and physically interacts with it to activate the OXPHOS program by upregulating the expression of respiratory chain component genes. Knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of RORγ strongly inhibits OXPHOS activation, downregulates mitochondrial functions and increases ROS production, which results in OS cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. RORγ inverse agonists strongly suppressed OS tumor growth and progression in multiple cell-based xenograft models and in chemotherapy-resistant, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and sensitized OS tumors to chemotherapy without obvious toxicity in mice. Taken together, our results indicate that RORγ is a critical regulator of the OXPHOS program in OS and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for this deadly disease.

Project description:FGF1-FGFR2 axis regulated by nuclear receptor RORγ represents an effective strategy in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
| PRJNA1313933 | ENA
Project description:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options. Although targeted therapies like pemigatinib provide partial clinical benefits, acquired resistance remains a significant challenge. Through integrative bioinformatics analysis of public datasets and immunohistochemical validation, we identified the retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ) as markedly upregulated in iCCA. Genetic silencing and pharmacological inhibition of RORγ (GSK805/XY101) suppressed proliferation, induced apoptosis in vitro, and significantly reduced xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, RORγ promoted fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) signaling via two complementary mechanisms: direct transcriptional activation of FGFR2 and induction of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) expression and secretion, which in turn activated FGFR2. Inhibition of RORγ markedly decreased FGF1 levels in conditioned media, whereas exogenous FGF1 restored tumor growth. Notably, RORγ antagonists synergized with pemigatinib to overcome resistance in pemigatinib-refractory models. Collectively, these findings identify the RORγ-FGF1-FGFR2 axis as a critical oncogenic driver in iCCA and highlight RORγ inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy to suppress tumor progression and enhance sensitivity to FGFR inhibitors.

Project description:Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) representing the most common subtype—highlighting the critical need for novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we identify the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ) as a key driver of NSCLC progression. Integrative bioinformatics and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that RORγ is highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and that its expression correlates with poor patient prognosis. Functionally, elevated RORγ significantly enhanced the proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities of NSCLC cells. Conversely, treatment with the RORγ antagonist or genetic silencing of RORγ potently suppressed these malignant phenotypes both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, RORγ directly binds to the promoter region of NGF, stimulates NGF gene transcription, and thereby promotes NSCLC progression. RORγ antagonists suppress NGF expression and inhibit its downstream signalling pathways, whereas exogenous NGF supplementation or overexpression of NGF notably reverses the inhibitory effects of RORγ antagonists on NSCLC cells. Taken together, these results establish RORγ as a critical regulator of NSCLC and a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment.

Project description:Approximately 80%-90% of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) occur in a premalignant environment of fibrosis and abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM), predicting an essential role of abnormal matrix in the tumorigenesis and progress of HCC. However, the determinants of ECM in HCC are poorly defined. Here, we show that nuclear receptor RORγ is highly expressed and amplified in HCC tumors. RORγ functions as an essential activator of the matrisome program via directly driving the expression of major ECM genes in HCC cells. The elevated RORγ increased Fibronectin-1 deposition, cell-matrix adhesion, collagen production and cross-linkling, creating a favorable microenvironment to boost liver cancer metastasis. Moreover, RORγ antagonists effectively inhibit tumor growth and metastasis via ECM remodeling in multiple HCC xenografts and immune-intact models, and they effectively sensitize HCC tumors to sorafenib therapy in mice. Notably, the elevated RORγ expression is associated with ECM remodeling and metastasis in patients with HCC. Taken together, we identify RORγ as a key player in HCC progression by remodeling ECM and as an attractive therapeutic target for advanced HCC.

Project description:Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is diagnosed in almost half of patients with advanced gastric cancer (GCa) and has a very poor prognosis. However, the molecular mechanisms of PM in GCa remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the elevated expression of RAR-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ) in GCa tumors is a key driver of PM. RORγ drives GCa progression and metastasis by assembling a transcriptional complex with HIF-1α that regulates the expression of HIF-1α targets via recruitment of RNA polymerase II and p300. Mechanistically, RORγ hijacks HIF-1α to disrupt the interaction between HIF-1α and PHD3, leading to decreased HIF-1α hydroxylation, ubiquitylation and increased HIF-1α accumulation, nuclear translocation, and transactivation. RORγ antagonists block tumor growth and PM in multiple xenograft GCa models, and they effectively sensitize GCa tumors to chemotherapy in mice. Thus, our study uncovers a mechanism of RORγ-driven PM and offers a potential therapeutic option against advanced GCa.

Project description:Pulmonary metastasis continues to be the most common cause of death in osteosarcoma. Indeed, the 5-year survival for newly diagnosed osteosarcoma patients has not significantly changed in over 20 years. Further understanding of the mechanisms of metastasis and resistance for this aggressive pediatric cancer is necessary. Pet dogs naturally develop osteosarcoma providing a novel opportunity to model metastasis development and progression. Given the accelerated biology of canine osteosarcoma, we hypothesized that a direct comparison of canine and pediatric osteosarcoma expression profiles may help identify novel metastasis-associated tumor targets that have been missed through the study of the human cancer alone. Collectively, these data support the strong similarities between human and canine osteosarcoma and underline the opportunities provided by a comparative oncology approach as a means to improve our understanding of cancer biology and therapy.
