Project description:LKB1 is among the most frequently altered tumor suppressors in lung adenocarcinoma. Inactivation of Lkb1 accelerates the growth and progression of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors in mouse models. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LKB1 constrains lung tumorigenesis and whether the aggressive cancer state that stems from Lkb1 deficiency can be reverted remains unknown. To identify the processes governed by LKB1 in vivo, we generated an allele which enables Lkb1 inactivation during tumor development and subsequent Lkb1 restoration in established tumors. Restoration of Lkb1 in oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors suppressed proliferation and promoted tumor stasis. Lkb1 restoration activated targets of C/EBP transcription factors and drove the transition of neoplastic cells from a progenitor-like state to a less proliferative alveolar type II cell-like state. We show that C/EBP transcription factors govern a subset of genes that are induced by LKB1 and depend upon NKX2-1. We also demonstrate that a defining factor of the alveolar type II lineage, C/EBPα, constrains oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumor growth. Thus, we uncover a role for a critical tumor suppressor in the regulation of key lineage-specific transcription factors, thereby constraining lung tumor development through the enforcement of differentiation.

Project description:Background: LKB1 is among the most frequently altered tumor suppressors in lung adenocarcinoma. Inactivation of Lkb1 accelerates the growth and progression of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors in mouse models. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LKB1 constrains lung tumorigenesis and whether the aggressive cancer state that stems from Lkb1 deficiency can be reverted remains unknown. Restoration of Lkb1 in established lung tumors promotes the expression of C/EBP target genes as well as features of alveolar type II cell differentiation, which requires the activity of C/EBP transcription factors in the developmental setting. Purpose: To determine the extent to which the disruption of C/EBP transcription factors recapitulates the transcriptional changes induced by the inactivation of Lkb1.Approach: To assess the changes gene expression induced by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated disruption of either C/EBP transcription factors or Lkb1, we induced lung tumors in KrasLSL-G12D/+;R26LSL-tdTomato;H11LSL-Cas9 mice using Lenti-sgNeo1/sgNT/sgNeo2/Cre (sgInert), Lenti-sgLkb1/Cre (sgLkb1), or Lenti-sgCebpa/sgCebpb/sgCebpd/Cre (sgCebpa/b/d). Neoplastic cells were then isolated from lung tumors by FACS for gene expression profiling by RNA-seq. Results: The disruption of C/EBP transcription factors partially recapitulates the gene expression changes induced by Lkb1 inactivation. Among the genes that are jointly dependent upon C/EBP transcription factors and LKB1 is an enrichment of NKX2-1-dependent target genes. Conclusions: C/EBP transcription factors likely operate downstream of LKB1 in an indirect manner, collaborating with another key developmental regulator, NKX2-1, to enforce alveolar type II cell differentiation to constrain tumor growth.

Project description:Background: LKB1 is among the most frequently altered tumor suppressors in lung adenocarcinoma. Inactivation of Lkb1 accelerates the growth and progression of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors in mouse models. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LKB1 constrains lung tumorigenesis and whether the aggressive cancer state that stems from Lkb1 deficiency can be reverted remains unknown.Purpose: To assess the acute transcriptional response to Lkb1 restoration within established lung tumors in a genetically engineered mouse model of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma. Approach: To control LKB1 function in vivo, we generated an Lkb1XTR allele, which enables Cre-mediated disruption of Lkb1 expression during tumor development and subsequent FLPo-ERT2-mediated reactivation of Lkb1 within established tumors. Lung tumors were initiated in KrasLSL-G12D/+;R26LSL-tdTomato (KT; Lkb1 wild-type), KT;Lkb1XTR/XTR (non-restorable), and KT;Lkb1XTR/XTR;FLPo-ERT2 (restorable) mice with Lenti-Cre. Prior isolating neoplastic cells by FACS for gene expression profiling by RNA-seq, lung tumor-bearing were treated with either corn oil vehicle or tamoxifen for two weeks following tumor development. Results: Lkb1 restoration resulted in higher expression of markers of alveolar type II epithelial cells as well as gene sets relating to immunomodulation and lipid metabolism export, which are important functions of mature alveolar type II epithelial cells. Conclusions: LKB1 promotes the expression of C/EBP target genes and consequently drives features of alveolar type II epithelial cell differentiation.

Project description:Background: LKB1 is among the most frequently altered tumor suppressors in lung adenocarcinoma. Inactivation of Lkb1 accelerates the growth and progression of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors in mouse models. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LKB1 constrains lung tumorigenesis and whether the aggressive cancer state that stems from Lkb1 deficiency can be reverted remains unknown. By bulk gene expression profiling, Lkb1 restoration promotes the expression of markers and functions of alveolar type II cells, suggesting that LKB1 may govern a cell-state transition within the neoplastic epithelial compartment. Purpose: To determine whether the restoration of Lkb1 drives changes in cell state and/or abundance within established oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors. Approach: To control LKB1 function in vivo, we generated an Lkb1XTR allele, which enables Cre-mediated disruption of Lkb1 expression during tumor development and subsequent FLPo-ERT2-mediated reactivation of Lkb1 within established tumors. Lung tumors were initiated in KT;Lkb1XTR/XTR (non-restorable) and KT;Lkb1XTR/XTR;FLPo-ERT2 (restorable) mice with Lenti-Cre. Following tumor development, lung tumor-bearing were treated with either corn oil vehicle or tamoxifen for two weeks prior to isolating specifically neoplastic cells by FACS for single cell RNA-seq. Results: Single cell analysis revealed that the neoplastic epithelial compartment was composed of alveolar type I- and type II-like subpopulations, a Krt8+ transitional state, an actively proliferating subpopulations, and an indeterminate subpopulation partially resembling the alveolar type II-like identity. Dynamic inference analyses indicated that the indeterminate population represents an intermediate state along the alveolar type II to alveolar type I trans-differentiation trajectory. Notably, the indeterminate cluster was more proliferative than the alveolar type II-like subpopulation and exhibited higher expression of Sox9, which is a marker of distal lung epithelial progenitors. There was a marked shift in the epithelial compartment from the indeterminate state to alveolar type II epithelial-like identity in response to Lkb1 restoration. Conclusions: LKB1 governs the transition between a proliferative progenitor-like population and mature alveolar type II-like identity within oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors

Project description:Background: LKB1 is among the most frequently altered tumor suppressors in lung adenocarcinoma. Inactivation of Lkb1 accelerates the growth and progression of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors in mouse models. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LKB1 constrains lung tumorigenesis and whether the aggressive cancer state that stems from Lkb1 deficiency can be reverted remains unknown. Purpose: To assess the impact of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeting of a subset of LKB1-dependent genes and C/EBP factors on tumor size in the context of a genetically engineered mouse model of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma. Approach: Measurements of tumor size across genetic perturbations were obtained by tumor barcode sequencing (Tuba-seq; Rogers et al., 2017 Nature Methods). Briefly, lung tumors were initiated in KrasLSL-G12D/+;R26LSL-tdTomato (KT) and KT;H11LSL-Cas9 mice using a pool of Lenti-sgRNA/Cre vectors that are each modified with two-component barcodes composed of sgRNA-specific and clonal identifiers. This particular pool of Lenti-sgRNA/Cre vectors was composed of vectors targeting a series of LKB1-dependent genes as well a subset of C/EBP transciription factors. Following tumor development, the two-component lentiviral barcodes integrated within transduced populations were amplified from genomic DNA of whole-lung homogenates. The resulting amplicons were then subjected to next-generation sequencing. From the resulting reads, barcode pileups were generated and filtered prior to conversion to absolute numbers of neoplastic cells via normalization to spiked-in samples of known quantities of barcoded neoplastic cells. The resulting tumor size distributions were then analyzed by multiple statistical measures as described previously (Rogers et al., 2017 Nature Methods). Results: Targeting of Lkb1 dramatically increased lung tumor size relative to inert sgRNAs. Little to no impact on tumor size was observed upon targeting LKB1-dependent genes. However, simultaneous targeting of Cebpa/b/d resulted in a significant increase in tumor size. Conclusions: A subset of C/EBP transcription factors constrain oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumor growth.
