Large-scale analysis of cell-cell communication reveals angiogenin-dependent tumor progression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. iScience 2023; 26:108367. [PMID: 38025776 PMCID: PMC10663819 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.108367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Cellular crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is still largely uncharacterized, while it plays an essential role in shaping immunosuppression or anti-tumor response. Large-scale analyses are needed to better decipher cell-cell communication in cancer. In this work, we used original and publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data to characterize in-depth the communication networks in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We identified 50 putative communication channels specifically used by cancer cells to interact with other cells, including two novel angiogenin-mediated interactions. Expression of angiogenin and its receptors was validated at the protein level in primary ccRCC. Mechanistically, angiogenin enhanced ccRCC cell line proliferation and down-regulated secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 proinflammatory molecules. This study provides novel biological insights into molecular mechanisms of ccRCC, and suggests angiogenin and its receptors as potential therapeutic targets in clear cell renal cancer.

Abstract
The glycoprotein osteopontin (OPN) possesses multiple functions in health and disease. To this end, osteopontin has beneficial roles in wound healing, bone homeostasis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) function. On the contrary, osteopontin can be deleterious for the human body during disease. Indeed, osteopontin is a cardinal mediator of tumor-associated inflammation and facilitates metastasis. The purpose of this review is to highlight the importance of osteopontin in malignant processes, focusing on lung and pleural tumors as examples.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose-rate irradiation with 6 MV linac x rays is a wide-spread means to treat cancer tissue in radiotherapy. The treatment planning relies on a mathematical description of surviving fraction (SF), such as the linear-quadratic model (LQM) formula. However, even in the case of high-dose-rate treatment, the repair kinetics of DNA damage during dose-delivery time plays a function in predicting the dose-SF relation. This may call the SF model selection into question when considering the dose-delivery time or dose-rate effects (DREs) in radiotherapy and in vitro cell experiments. In this study, we demonstrate the importance of dose-delivery time at high-dose-rate irradiations used in radiotherapy by means of Bayesian estimation. METHODS To evaluate the model selection for SF, three types of models, the LQM and two microdosimetric-kinetic models with and without DREs (MKMDR and MKM) were applied to describe in vitroSF data (our work and references). The parameters in each model were evaluated by a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation. RESULTS The MCMC analysis shows that the cell survival curve by the MKMDR fits the experimental data the best in terms of the deviance information criterion (DIC). In the fractionated regimen with 30 fractions to a total dose of 60 Gy, the final cell survival estimated by the MKMDR was higher than that by the LQM. This suggests that additional fractions are required for attaining the total dose equivalent to yield the same effect as the conventional regimen using the LQM in fractionated radiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Damage repair during dose-delivery time plays a key role in precisely estimating cell survival even at a high dose rate in radiotherapy. Consequently, it was suggested that the cell-killing model without repair factor during a short dose-delivery time may overestimate actual cell killing in fractionated radiotherapy.

Perioperative changes in osteopontin and TGFβ1 plasma levels and their prognostic impact for radiotherapy in head and neck cancer. BMC Cancer 2017; 17:6. [PMID: 28049456 PMCID: PMC5209814 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-016-3024-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2016] [Accepted: 12/20/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In head and neck cancer little is known about the kinetics of osteopontin (OPN) expression after tumor resection. In this study we evaluated the time course of OPN plasma levels before and after surgery. Methods Between 2011 and 2013 41 consecutive head and neck cancer patients were enrolled in a prospective study (group A). At different time points plasma samples were collected: T0) before, T1) 1 day, T2) 1 week and T3) 4 weeks after surgery. Osteopontin and TGFβ1 plasma concentrations were measured with a commercial ELISA system. Data were compared to 131 head and neck cancer patients treated with primary (n = 42) or postoperative radiotherapy (n = 89; group B1 and B2). Results A significant OPN increase was seen as early as 1 day after surgery (T0 to T1, p < 0.01). OPN levels decreased to base line 3-4 weeks after surgery. OPN values were correlated with postoperative TGFβ1 expression suggesting a relation to wound healing. Survival analysis showed a significant benefit for patients with lower OPN levels both in the primary and postoperative radiotherapy group (B1: 33 vs 11.5 months, p = 0.017, B2: median not reached vs 33.4, p = 0.031). TGFβ1 was also of prognostic significance in group B1 (33.0 vs 10.7 months, p = 0.003). Conclusions Patients with head and neck cancer showed an increase in osteopontin plasma levels directly after surgery. Four weeks later OPN concentration decreased to pre-surgery levels. This long lasting increase was presumably associated to wound healing. Both pretherapeutic osteopontin and TGFβ1 had prognostic impact.

Abstract
Background Tumor hypoxia is a known risk factor for reduced response to radiotherapy. The evaluation of noninvasive methods for the detection of hypoxia is therefore of interest. Osteopontin (OPN) has been discussed as an endogenous hypoxia biomarker. It is overexpressed in many cancers and is involved in tumor progression and metastasis. Methods To examine the influence of hypoxia and irradiation on osteopontin expression we used different cell lines (head and neck cancer (Cal27 and FaDu) and glioblastoma multiforme (U251 and U87)). Cells were treated with hypoxia for 24 h and were then irradiated with doses of 2 and 8 Gy. Osteopontin expression was analyzed on mRNA level by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR) and on protein level by western blot. Cell culture supernatants were evaluated for secreted OPN by ELISA. Results Hypoxia caused an increase in osteopontin protein expression in all cell lines. In Cal27 a corresponding increase in OPN mRNA expression was observed. In contrast the other cell lines showed a reduced mRNA expression under hypoxic conditions. After irradiation OPN mRNA expression raised slightly in FaDu and U87 cells while it was reduced in U251 and stable in Cal27 cells under normoxia. The combined treatment (hypoxia and irradiation) led to a slight increase of OPN mRNA after 2 Gy in U251 (24 h) and in U87 (24 and 48 h) cell lines falling back to base line after 8 Gy. This effect was not seen in Cal27 or in FaDu cells. Secreted OPN was detected only in the two glioblastoma cell lines with reduced protein levels under hypoxic conditions. Again the combined treatment resulted in a minor increase in OPN secretion 48 hours after irradiation with 8 Gy. Conclusion Osteopontin expression is strongly modulated by hypoxia and only to a minor extent by irradiation. Intracellular OPN homeostasis seems to vary considerably between cell lines. This may explain the partly conflicting results concerning response prediction and prognosis in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is a glycoprotein involved in invasion, progression and metastasis of many carcinomas. It contains several functional domains including binding sites for αv integrins, cell surface molecules playing a major role in mediating cell migration and adhesion. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of osteopontin in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to determine its possible prognostic significance as well as relation to apoptosis and αv integrin expression. We analyzed 111 surgically resected NSCLC for immunohistochemical expression of OPN and αv integrin. OPN expression was compared to apoptotic rate and clinicopathological parameters such as tumor size, histological grade, lymph node status, pT, and TNM stage. Apoptotic rate was measured by TUNEL staining method. OPN expression in NSCLC was significantly higher in lung adenocarcinomas (AC) then in squamous cell carcinomas (p<0.001). There was no correlation between OPN expression and clinicopathological parameters. The level of OPN expression in AC was associated with decreased apoptotic activity of tumor cells (p=0.006), and correlated with αv integrin expression (p=0.048), particularly in low stage tumors (p=0.013). Prolonged tumor cell survival in lung AC due to OPN and αv integrin overexpression may have an impact on tumor progression and resistance to therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopontin-1 is a well characterized protein in many tumour entities. Multiple roles in the processes invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis of tumours are attributed to osteopontin-1. The putative role of osteopontin-1 has not been characterized for endometrial cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated multiple endometrial cancer cell lines for osteopontin-1 mRNA- and protein-expression. Osteopontin-1 dependent effects were analysed in vitro by siRNA inhibition. RESULTS All endometrial cell lines expressed osteopontin-1. Expression of osteopontin-1 was successfully inhibited by specific siRNA. Cells with reduced osteopontin-1 expression showed decreased migration in the Boyden chamber assay and invasion was reduced in the wound-healing assay. Osteopontin-1 seems to play a role in apoptotic processes of endometrial cancer cells. Inhibition of osteopontin-1 expression was associated with an increased susceptibility for radiation therapy. CONCLUSION Osteopontin-1 seems to play a role in endometrial cancer. Inhibition of osteopontin-1 expression leads to a higher susceptibility for radiation therapy. Our results suggest that a reduced expression of osteopontin-1 in endometrial cancer could inhibit the development of invasion and metastasis in these cells.
