Project description:Most bladder cancers are poorly responsive to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) of PD-L1. Thus, there is a need to define mechanisms of de novo resistance including contributions from tumor infiltrating immune cells. In this study, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to map and define infiltrating myeloid cells in 10 human bladder tumors. Human data sets were qualitatively compared with myeloid data sets from the carcinogen (BBN) induced mouse model of bladder cancer which we have demonstrated to be poorly responsive to PD-L1 blockade. We previously established a signature of acquired ICB resistance which we apply here to new human and murine tumor data sets that have not received prior ICB (or systemic treatment). In doing so, we reveal conservation in EMT-stromal core genes and TGF beta signaling between human and mouse myeloid cells consistent with signatures of de novo ICB resistance. Untreated BBN tumors were highly infiltrated with M0-M2 macrophages, low in T-NK infiltration and modeled a patient subpopulation with poor survival outcome. Concordantly, the combined targeting of TGFb + PD-L1 reverted immune cell exclusion and resulted in increased survival and delayed BBN mouse tumor progression. These data constitute the stromal and myeloid cell populations as providing a coordinate mechanism de novo resistance to PD-L1 blockade in a TGF-beta dependent manner.

Project description:SignificanceMost patients with bladder cancer do not respond to ICB targeting of the PD-L1 signaling axis. Our modeling applied a de novo resistance signature to show that tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells promote poor treatment response in a TGFβ-dependent mechanism.

Project description:Transforming growth factor- (TGF-) signaling is a critical driver of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer progression. However, the regulatory roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in TGF--induced EMT and cancer progression are not well understood. Here, we identified an unannotated nuclear lncRNA LETS1 (LncRNA Enforcing TGF- Signaling 1) as a novel TGF-/SMAD target gene. Loss of LETS1 attenuates TGF--induced EMT, migration and extravasation in breast and lung cancer cells. LETS1 potentiates TGF-/SMAD signaling by stabilizing cell surface TGF- type I receptor (TRI) and thereby forms a positive feedback loop. Mechanistically, LETS1 inhibits TRI polyubiquitination by inducing the orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) expression, a critical determinant of a destruction complex for inhibitory SMAD7. An unbiased interactome analysis identified the Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells (NFAT5) as a protein partner of LETS1 to mediate activation of NR4A1 promoter. Overall, our findings characterize LETS1 as an EMT-promoting lncRNA and elucidate the mechanism by which nuclear LETS1 potentiates TGF- receptor signaling.

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key cellular process involved in development and disease progression. Single-cell transcriptomes can reveal intermediate EMT states observed in tumors, but previous studies focused on time-dependent responses in epithelial cells after stimulation with EMT signals as an in vitro model for understanding EMT progression, so it was unclear how transcriptomes can change in response to different levels of EMT inducer. Here, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing with human mammary epithelial cells treated with various concentrations of TGF-β. We found that the dose-dependent EMT harbors multiple intermediate states at the single-cell level after two weeks of treatment, suggesting a stable EMT continuum. After correcting batch effects from experiments, we performed comparative analyses of the dose- and time-dependent EMT. We found that the dose-dependent EMT shows a stronger anti-correlation between epithelial and mesenchymal transcriptional programs and a better resolution of stages of EMT compared to the time-dependent progress. These properties enable more power to detect genes whose expressions are associated with EMT. Nonetheless, our analyses showed cell clusters unique to the time-dependent EMT, which correspond to en route cell populations that do not appear at steady states. Furthermore, combining dose- and time-dependent cell clusters gave rise to more accurate prognosis for cancer patients compared to individual EMT spectrum.

Project description:Our group is interested in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), in particular, TGF-beta induced EMT. TGF-beta signalling has been shown to be an important factor in the induction of EMT and it has been demonstrated that adding TGF-beta to epithelial cells in culture is a convenient way to study the process of EMT. In response to TGF-beta, Smad2 and 3 are activated, and form complexes with Smad4, which then regulate transcription of target genes through interactions with other DNA binding transcription factors. In the induction of EMT, the activated Smads mediate transcriptional regulation through three families of transcription factors, resulting in repression of epithelial marker gene expression and activation of mesenchymal gene expression (Xu J, et al. 2009) <br></br> Also investigated in this study is the role of H2A.Z in EMT. H2A.Z is an evolutionary conserved and a metazoan essential histone variant of the H2A class. Mice deficient in H2A.Z die during early development but the reason for this is unknown (Faast et al. 2001). Previously, our laboratory showed that the loss of H2A.Z in Xenpous laevis impaired cell movement required for the formation of the mesoderm and neural crest (Ridgway et al. 2004). Given that mesoderm formation is critically dependent upon EMT, we therefore wondered whether H2A.Z might be a chromatin regulator of EMT. We transfected MDCK cells with a lentiviral vector to express a construct encoding an shRNA targeting canine H2A.Z as we wanted to test the hypothesis that H2A.Z is involved in the maintenance of cellular identity and that its loss might trigger de-differentiation. <br></br> In order to investigate changes in histone variant H2A.Z occupancy associated with TGF-beta induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) we performed H2A.Z ChIP-Seq in untreated and TGFb-treated MDCK cells. The MDCK cell line has been extensively used as a model system for EMT because they convert fully from the epithelial to the mesenchymal state in response to TGF-beta. <br></br>Please note that RNA-seq data generated in conjunction to this ChIP-seq data set were also deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-5628 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5628 ).

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) play prominent roles during development, regeneration and tumor progression. EMTs are triggered by TGF-β, RAS and other signals that cooperatively induce the expression of master EMT transcription factors such as SNAIL. Here, we elucidate how the TGF-β and RAS pathways jointly trigger EMTs and tie them to broader developmental programs. We identify RAS response element binding protein 1 (RREB1) as a critical partner of TGF-β-activated SMAD transcription factors in driving SNAIL expression and EMT program in mammary gland epithelial cells.

Project description:TGF-β is a major tumor suppressor in gastrointestinal (GI) and squamous carcinomas, which exhibit frequent genetic inactivation of Smad4, a key TGF-β signaling component. Apoptosis is implicated as an important mediator of the tumor suppressive function of TGF-β, although this process remains poorly understood. To address this long-standing question, we dissected the tumor suppressive action of TGF-β in naïve pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells. Here we show that TGF-β/Smad4 signaling triggers an EMT in Kras-mutant pancreatic progenitor cells but turns this process into a trigger of apoptosis by converting the progenitor cell transcription factor Sox4 from an enforcer of epithelial progenitor identity into an activator of apoptosis. This occurs as a result of the EMT-linked repression of the endodermal master regulator Klf5, which cooperates with Sox4 to promote epithelial progenitor identity, and loss of which unmasks a latent apoptotic transcriptional program driven by Sox4. By losing Smad4, Kras-mutant PDA cells avoid this fate and instead use Sox4 as a TGF-β-dependent enforcer of the epithelial progenitor cell state. In this study, 16 RNA-Seq samples and 6 ChIP-Seq samples are included.
