Project description:Sialylation, the addition of negatively charged sialic acid sugars to terminal ends of glycans, is upregulated in most cancers. Hypersialylation supports multiple pro-tumor mechanisms such as enhanced migration and invasion, resistance to apoptosis and immune evasion. A current gap in knowledge is the lack of understanding on how the tumor microenvironment regulates cancer cell sialylation. The adipose niche is a main component of most peritoneal cancers’ microenvironment. This includes ovarian cancer (OC), which causes most deaths from all gynecologic cancers. In this report, we demonstrate that the adipose microenvironment is a critical regulator of OC cell sialylation.In vitroadipose conditioning led to an increase in both⍺2,3 and⍺2,6-linked cell surface sialic acids in both human and mouse models of OC.Adipose-induced sialylation reprogramming was also observedin vivofrom intra-peritoneal OC tumors seeded in the adipose-rich omentum. Mechanistically, we observed upregulation of at least three sialylatransferases, St3gal1, St6gal1 and St3galnac3.Hypersialylated OC cells consistently formed intra-peritoneal tumors in both immune-competent mice and immune-compromised athymic nude mice. In contrast, hyposiaylated OC cells persistently formed tumors only in athymic nude mice demonstrating that sialylation impacts OC tumor formation in an immune dependent manner. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the effect of adipose microenvironment on OC tumor sialylation. Our results set the stage for translational applications targeting sialic acid pathways in OC and other peritoneal cancers.

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-? regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. In clinical samples, the number of stromal CTLs in peritoneally disseminated tumors was correlated with PD-L1 expression on the tumor cells, and the lymphocyte number was significantly related to the IFN-? signature score. In mouse models, PD-L1 was induced in peritoneal disseminated tumors, where lymphocytes were prominent, but not in subcutaneous tumors. Depleting IFNGR1 resulted in lower PD-L1 expression and longer survival in peritoneal dissemination model. Injection of IFN-? into subcutaneous tumors increased PD-L1 expression and tumor size, and PD-L1 depletion abrogated tumor growth. These data suggest that IFN-? works as a tumor progressor through PD-L1 induction. The source of IFN-? in ovarian cancer microenvironment and its biological effect to the tumor cells is unclear. The immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell line, HOSE-E7/hTERT (HOSE) was treated with IFN-? and expression microarray analysis was performed, and probes showing significantly higher values in IFN-?-added group were termed “IFN-? signature genes (295 probes)”. We then applied this signature to our ovarian cancer microarray data, which included 75 ovarian cancer clinical samples, by means of ss-GSEA. IFN-? signature score was strongly correlated to the number of infiltrating CD4-positive or CD8-positive lymphocytes in the tumors. These data suggest that the IFN-? in the ovarian cancer microenvironment is derived from lymphocytes, and an IFN-?-rich microenvironment is strongly correlated to a lymphocyte-rich microenvironment. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in human ovarian cancer tissue were observed in different tumor immunological microenvironment.

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-γ regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment.

Project description:Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that are important for cell growth and proliferation. Dysregulated mitochondrial dynamics are highly associated with the initiation and progression of various cancers, including ovarian cancer. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying mitochondrial dynamics is still not fully understood. Previously, our study showed that carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) is highly expressed in ovarian cancer cells and promotes the development of ovarian cancer. Here, we find that CPT1A regulates mitochondrial dynamics and promotes mitochondrial fission in ovarian cancer cells. Our study futher shows that CPT1A regulates mitochondrial fission and function through mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) to promote the growth and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. Mechanistically, we show that CPT1A promotes succinylation of MFF at lysine 302 (K302), which protects against Parkin-mediated ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of MFF. Finally, the study shows that MFF is highly expressed in ovarian cancer cells and that high MFF expression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. MFF inhibition significantly inhibits the progression of ovarian cancer in vivo. Overall, CPT1A regulates mitochondrial dynamics through MFF succinylation to promote the development of ovarian cancer. Moreover, our findings suggest that MFF is a potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Project description:Initial surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy is extensively applied to ovarian cancer. Although the majority of patients were sensitive, most relapse at later stage, highlighting the urgent need to understand the tumor microenvironment in ovarian cancer following NACT (neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Through analyzing the published scRNA-seq on human high-grade serous ovarian cancer and performing several in vitro and in vivo experiments, we found prostaglandins-mediated immunosuppressive microenvironment formation is a critical contributor to chemotherapy-resistant upon cisplatin treatment. In mechanisms, cisplatin-treated ovarian cancer cells induce the formation of MDSCs, which passivates the cytotoxicity of CD8+T cell. Moreover, we also carried out scRNA-seq on mice ovarian cancer intraperitoneal injection model to confirm our findings. Notably, Collaborative application of cisplatin and prostaglandins-specific inhibition boosts the cytotoxicity of CD8+T cell and greatly improves the effective rate compared to cisplatin monotherapy.

Project description:IntroductionOvarian and other peritoneal cancers have a strong tendency to metastasize into the surrounding adipose tissue. This study describes an effect of the adipose microenvironment on upregulation of sialic acid-containing glycans in ovarian cancer (OC). Heterogeneous populations of glycosylated OC tumors converged to a highly sialylated cell state that regulates tumorigenesis in an immune-dependent manner.MethodsWe modeled the adipose microenvironment by conditioning growth media with human patient-derived adipose tissue. OC cell lines grown in the presence vs. absence of adipose conditioned media (ACM) were characterized by transcriptomics, western blotting, and chemical biology glycan labeling methods. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to separate adipose-driven upregulation of hypersialylated ("SNA-high") vs. hyposialylated ("SNA-low") OC subpopulations. The two subpopulations were characterized by further transcriptomic and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses, then injected into a syngeneic mouse model. Immune system involvement was implicated using wild type and athymic nude mice with a primary endpoint of overall survival.ResultsAdipose conditioning resulted in upregulation of sialyltransferases ST3GAL1, ST6GAL1, ST6GALNAC3, and ST8Sia1. In culture, OC cells displayed two distinct sialylated subpopulations that were stable for up to 9 passages, suggesting inherent heterogeneity in sialylation that is maintained throughout cell division and media changes. OC tumors that implanted in the omental adipose tissue exclusively reprogrammed to the highly sialylated subpopulation. In wild type C57BL/6 mice, only the hypersialylated SNA-high subpopulation implanted in the adipose, whereas the hyposialylated SNA-low subpopulation failed to be tumorigenic (p=0.023, n=5). In the single case where SNA-low established a tumor, post-mortem analysis revealed reprogramming of the tumor to the SNA-high state in vivo. In athymic nude mice, both subpopulations rapidly formed tumors, implicating a role of the adaptive immune system.ConclusionsThese findings suggest a model of glycan-dependent tumor evolution wherein the adipose microenvironment reprograms OC to a tumorigenic state that resists the adaptive immune system. Mechanistically, adipose factors upregulate sialyltransferases. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the effect of adipose microenvironment on OC tumor sialylation. Our results set the stage for translational applications targeting sialic acid pathways in OC and other peritoneal cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis.
