Circulating Tumor Cells Clustering Triggers DNA Methylation Changes to Enable Metastasis Seeding

Project description:The ability of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to form clusters has been linked to increased metastatic potential. Yet biological features and vulnerabilities of CTC clusters remain largely unknown. Our DNA methylation analysis led us to hypothesize that CTC clusters are characterized by active TF networks that support both stemness and proliferation. To identify whether the stemness- and proliferation-related TF networks are also transcriptionally active in CTC clusters compared to single CTCs, we performed single-cell resolution RNA sequencing analysis of single CTCs and CTC clusters, matched within individual liquid biopsies and isolated from six breast cancer patients with progressive metastatic disease, and of single CTCs and CTC clusters isolated from three xenograft models. In addition, among 2,486 FDA-approved compounds, we identify Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitors that enable the dissociation of CTC clusters into single cells, leading to DNA methylation remodeling at critical sites and metastasis suppression. We performed RNA sequencing analysis of BR16 and Brx50 cells upon treatment to assess the molecular consequences of clusters dissociation.

Circulating Tumor Cell Clustering Shapes DNA Methylation to Enable Metastasis Seeding.

Project description:The ability of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to form clusters has been linked to increased metastatic potential. Yet biological features and vulnerabilities of CTC clusters remain largely unknown. Here, we profile the DNA methylation landscape of single CTCs and CTC clusters from breast cancer patients and mouse models on a genome-wide scale. We find that binding sites for stemness- and proliferation-associated transcription factors are specifically hypomethylated in CTC clusters, including binding sites for OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, and SIN3A, paralleling embryonic stem cell biology. Among 2,486 FDA-approved compounds, we identify Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitors that enable the dissociation of CTC clusters into single cells, leading to DNA methylation remodeling at critical sites and metastasis suppression. Thus, our results link CTC clustering to specific changes in DNA methylation that promote stemness and metastasis and point to cluster-targeting compounds to suppress the spread of cancer.

4R-Tau Seeding Activity Reveals Molecular Subtypes in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Project description:Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a clinically heterogeneous 4-repeat (4R)-tauopathy marked by variable progression and phenotypic diversity. We examined the distribution of high-molecular-weight tau (HMW-tau) species and 4R-tau seeding capacity across 25 PSP cases and 20 brain regions. HMW-tau levels varied regionally, with the temporal and motor cortices exhibiting the highest abundance. Using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 4R-tau seed amplification assays (SAAs), we identified that HMW-tau fractions exhibit the greatest seeding activity. Proteomic and spatial transcriptomic analyses of the primary motor cortex revealed dysregulated adaptive immunity and metabolic pathways in high-seeder cases. Neuropathological clustering confirmed distinct profiles associated with tau seeding activity. These findings suggest that evaluating tau seeding capacity may offer valuable insights into the heterogeneity of PSP and its underlying molecular drivers.

Circulating tumor cell-derived N-cadherin induces NK cell exhaustion and contributes to tumor self-seeding via the KLRG1 receptor

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can survive in the circulation and return to primary tumors through a self-seeding process. However, the mechanisms underlying CTC escape from natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immune surveillance remain unclear. In the present study, self-seeded tumor cells were isolated and characterized by applying a modified mouse model. The harvested self-seeded cells displayed resistance to NK cell-mediated lysis and a higher tumor seeding ability than their parental cells. Elevated expression levels of the CDH2 gene and its protein product, N-cadherin were found in self-seeded cell lines. We revealed an unrecognized role for soluble N-cadherin in inhibiting NK cell antitumor immunity. NK cells secreted cytokines, and fluid shear stress facilitated N-cadherin release from tumor cells by enhancing the activity of A disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10). Soluble N-cadherin triggered NK cell functional exhaustion by interacting with the killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily G member 1 (KLRG1) receptor and therefore protected tumor cells from NK cell killing. Elevated N-cadherin expression was observed in recurrent oral cancer samples compared to matched primary tumors. Our findings illustrated an unknown mechanism by which CTCs evaded NK cell-mediated immune surveillance, which may contribute to tumor self-seeding and recurrence.
