Prophylaxis with abemaciclib delays tumorigenesis in dMMR mice by altering immune responses and reducing immunosuppressive extracellular vesicle secretion. Transl Oncol 2024; 47:102053. [PMID: 38986222 PMCID: PMC11296063 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2024.102053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib is an FDA-approved agent and induces T-cell-mediated immunity. Previously, we confirmed the therapeutic potential of abemaciclib on mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) tumors in mice. Here, we applied a prophylactic administration/dosage setting using two preclinical mouse models of dMMR-driven cancer. METHODS Mlh1-/- and Msh2loxP/loxP mice received repeated prophylactic applications of abemaciclib mesylate (75 mg/kg bw, per oral) as monotherapy or were left untreated. Blood phenotyping and multiplex cytokine measurements were performed regularly. The tumor microenvironment was evaluated by immunofluorescence and Nanostring-based gene expression profiling. Numbers, size and immune composition and activity of extracellular vesicles (EVs) were studied at the endpoint. FINDINGS Prophylactic abemaciclib-administration delayed tumor development and significantly prolonged overall survival in both mouse strains (Mlh1-/-: 50.0 wks vs. control: 33.9 wks; Msh2loxP/loxP;TgTg(Vil1-cre: 58.4 wks vs. control 44.4 wks). In Mlh1-/- mice, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6) significantly increased, whereas IL-10 and IL-17A decreased. Circulating and splenic exhausted and regulatory T cell numbers were significantly lower in the abemaciclib groups. Deeper analysis of late-onset tumors revealed activation of the Hedgehog and Notch signaling in Mlh1-/- mice, and activation of the MAPK pathway in Msh2loxP/loxP;TgTg(Vil1-cre mice. Still, arising tumors had fewer infiltrating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (vs. control). Notably, prophylactic abemaciclib-administration prevented secretion of procoagulant EVs but triggered release of immunomodulatory EVs in Mlh1-/- mice. INTERPRETATION Prophylactic abemaciclib prolongs survival via global immunomodulation. Prophylactic use of abemaciclib should be considered further for individuals with inherited dMMR. FUNDING This work was supported by grants from the German research foundation [DFG grant number: MA5799/2-2] and the Brigitte und Dr. Konstanze Wegener-Stiftung to CM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of antibody-targeted therapy of solid cancers is limited by the lack of consistent tumour-associated antigen expression. However, tumour-associated antigens shared with non-malignant cells may still be targeted using conditionally activated-antibodies, or by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells or CAR NK cells activated either by the tumour microenvironment or following 'unlocking' via multiple antigen-recognition. In this study, we have focused on tissue factor (TF; CD142), a type I membrane protein present on a range of solid tumours as a basis for future development of conditionally-activated BiTE or CAR T cells. TF is frequently upregulated on multiple solid tumours providing a selective advantage for growth, immune evasion and metastasis, as well as contributing to the pathology of thrombosis via the extrinsic coagulation pathway. METHODS Two well-characterised anti-TF monoclonal antibodies (mAb) were cloned into expression or transposon vectors to produce single chain (scFv) BiTE for assessment as CAR and CD28-CD3-based CAR or CD3-based BiTE. The affinities of both scFv formats for TF were determined by surface plasmon resonance. Jurkat cell line-based assays were used to confirm the activity of the BiTE or CAR constructs. RESULTS The anti-TF mAb hATR-5 and TF8-5G9 mAb were shown to maintain their nanomolar affinities following conversion into a single chain (scFv) format and could be utilised as CD28-CD3-based CAR or CD3-based BiTE format. CONCLUSION Because of the broad expression of TF on a range of solid cancers, anti-TF antibody formats provide a useful addition for the development of conditionally activated biologics for antibody and cellular-based therapy.

Abstract
During tumor progression and especially following cytotoxic therapy, cell death of both tumor and stromal cells is widespread. Despite clinical observations that high levels of apoptotic cells correlate with poorer patient outcomes, the physiological effects of dying cells on tumor progression remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that circulating apoptotic cells robustly enhance tumor cell metastasis to the lungs. Using intravenous metastasis models, we observed that the presence of apoptotic cells, but not cells dying by other mechanisms, supports circulating tumor cell (CTC) survival following arrest in the lung vasculature. Apoptotic cells promote CTC survival by recruiting platelets to the forming metastatic niche. Apoptotic cells externalize the phospholipid phosphatidylserine to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, which we found increased the activity of the coagulation initiator Tissue Factor, thereby triggering the formation of platelet clots that protect proximal CTCs. Inhibiting the ability of apoptotic cells to induce coagulation by knocking out Tissue Factor, blocking phosphatidylserine, or administering the anticoagulant heparin abrogated the pro-metastatic effect of apoptotic cells. This work demonstrates a previously unappreciated role for apoptotic cells in facilitating metastasis by establishing CTC-supportive emboli, and suggests points of intervention that may reduce the pro-metastatic effect of apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Thromboembolic events are complications in cancer patients and hypercoagulability has been linked to the tissue factor (TF) pathway, making this an attractive target. Here, we investigated the effects of chemotherapeutics and CDK inhibitors (CDKI) abemaciclib/palbociclib (CDK4/6), THZ-1 (CDK7/12/13), and dinaciclib (CDK1/2/5/9) alone and in combination regimens on TF abundance and coagulation. The human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line HROC173 was treated with 5-FU or gemcitabine to stimulate TF expression. TF+ cells were sorted, recultured, and re-analyzed. The effect of treatment alone or in combination was assessed by functional assays. Low-dose chemotherapy induced a hypercoagulable state and significantly upregulated TF, even after reculture without treatment. Cells exhibited characteristics of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, including high expression of vimentin and mucin. Dinaciclib and THZ-1 also upregulated TF, while abemaciclib and palbociclib downregulated it. Similar results were observed in coagulation assays. The same anticoagulant activity of abemaciclib was seen after incubation with peripheral immune cells from healthy donors and CRC patients. Abemaciclib reversed 5-FU-induced TF upregulation and prolonged clotting times in second-line treatment. Effects were independent of cytotoxicity, senescence, and p27kip1 induction. TF-antibody blocking experiments confirmed the importance of TF in plasma coagulation, with Factor XII playing a minor role. Short-term abemaciclib counteracts 5-FU-induced hypercoagulation and eventually even prevents thromboembolic events.

Abstract
The ovary is an essential reproductive organ in the female organism and its development seriously affects the physical and mental health of female patients. Ovarian diseases include ovarian cancer, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women should pay attention to the most effective treatments for this condition because it is one of the most prevalent gynecological illnesses at present. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are smaller vesicles that mediate the exchange of cellular information, include the three categories of exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies. They are able to transport proteins, RNA and other substances to adjacent or distal cells, thus allowing cellular and tissue homeostasis to be maintained. Numerous previous studies have revealed that EVs are crucial for the treatment of ovarian diseases. They are known to transport its contents to ovarian cancer cells as well as other ovarian cells such as granulosa cells, affecting the development of ovarian disease processes. Therefore, this extracellular vesicle may be involved as a target in the therapeutic process of ovarian disease and may have great potential in the treatment of ovarian disease. In the present review, the role of EVs in the development of three ovarian diseases, including ovarian cancer, POI and PCOS, was mainly summarizes. It is expected that this will provide some theoretical support for the treatment of ovarian disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apoptotic vesicles are extracellular vesicles generated by apoptotic cells that were previously regarded as containing waste or harmful substances but are now thought to play an important role in signal transduction and homeostasis regulation. METHODS In the present review, we reviewed many articles published over the past decades on the subtypes and formation of apoptotic vesicles and the existing applications of these vesicles. RESULTS Apoptotic bodies were once regarded as vesicles released by apoptotic cells, however, apoptotic vesicles are now regarded to include apoptotic bodies, apoptotic microvesicles and apoptotic exosomes, which exhibit variation in terms of biogenesis, sizes and properties. Applications of apoptotic vesicles were first reported long ago, but such reports have been rarer than those of other extracellular vesicles. At present, apoptotic vesicles have been utilized mainly in four aspects, including in direct therapeutic applications, in their engineering as carriers, in their construction as vaccines and in their utilization in diagnosis. CONCLUSION Building on a deeper understanding of their composition and characteristics, some studies have utilized apoptotic vesicles to treat diseases in more novel ways. However, their limitations for clinical translation, such as heterogeneity, have also emerged. In general, apoptotic vesicles have great application potential, but there are still many barriers to overcome in their investigation. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is essential for growth and tissue homeostasis. Apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs) are a form of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by dying cells in the last stage of apoptosis and were previously regarded as debris of dead cells. Recent studies unraveled that ApoBDs are not cell debris but the bioactive treasure left behind by the dying cells with an important role in intercellular communications related to human health and various diseases. Defective clearance of ApoBDs and infected-cells-derived ApoBDs are possible etiology of some diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the function and mechanism of the action of ApoBDs in different physiological and pathological conditions. Recent advances in ApoBDs have elucidated the immunomodulatory, virus removal, vascular protection, tissue regenerative, and disease diagnostic potential of ApoBDs. Moreover, ApoBDs can be used as drug carriers enhancing drug stability, cellular uptake, and targeted therapy efficacy. These reports from the literature indicate that ApoBDs hold promising potential for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various diseases, including cancer, systemic inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue regeneration. This review summarizes the recent advances in ApoBDs-related research and discusses the role of ApoBDs in health and diseases as well as the challenges and prospects of ApoBDs-based diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Over 300 billion of cells die every day in the human body, producing a large number of endogenous apoptotic extracellular vesicles (apoEVs). Also, allogenic stem cell transplantation, a commonly used therapeutic approach in current clinical practice, generates exogenous apoEVs. It is well known that phagocytic cells engulf and digest apoEVs to maintain the body's homeostasis. In this study, we show that a fraction of exogenous apoEVs is metabolized in the integumentary skin and hair follicles. Mechanistically, apoEVs activate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway to facilitate their metabolism in a wave-like pattern. The migration of apoEVs is enhanced by treadmill exercise and inhibited by tail suspension, which is associated with the mechanical force-regulated expression of DKK1 in circulation. Furthermore, we show that exogenous apoEVs promote wound healing and hair growth via activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in skin and hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells. This study reveals a previously unrecognized metabolic pathway of apoEVs and opens a new avenue for exploring apoEV-based therapy for skin and hair disorders. Exogenous infused apoEVs are partly metabolized from the integumentary skin and hair follicles. ApoEVs activate Wnt/β-catenin pathway to facilitate their elimination in a wave-like pattern. Exercise can enhance apoEV metabolism through Wnt/β-catenin pathway. MSC-derived apoEVs promote wound healing and hair growth.

Abstract
Hemostatic parameters have been investigated as molecular determinants of tumor
progression. To analyze the dynamics of microparticle-associated tissue factor
activity (MPTF), tissue factor antigen (TF-Ag), and angiopоietin-2 (ANG-2) in
cancer patients before, during, and after active treatment and to explore their
potential as biomarkers for metastatic occurrence and death. Blood for the
analysis of MPTF, TF-Ag, ANG-2, and conventional hemostatic tests was sampled in
111 patients with various cancers at 4 consecutive visits: before first
chemotherapy cycle, after 3 courses, at the sixth course, and 3 months after
chemotherapy cessation. Patients were followed up until metastatic
progression/death or the end of the study. MPTF did not change during
chemotherapy, but increased significantly after treatment cessation. Total TF-Ag
and ANG-2 decreased throughout active treatment. Significant drop of their
levels was observed 3 months post therapy cessation. Progressive disease was
significantly associated with higher pre-chemotherapy TF-Ag and fibrinogen.
Elevated baseline levels of fibrinogen were associated with increased risk of
shortened progression free survival. Cessation of chemotherapy is associated
with significant change of hemostatic parameters. Pre-chemotherapy levels of
TF-Ag and fibrinogen may be informative of disease state and prognosis.

Theranostics 2020; 10:6825-6838. [PMID: 32550906 PMCID: PMC7295057 DOI: 10.7150/thno.45170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Apoptotic bodies (ABs) traditionally considered as garbage bags that enclose residual components of dead cells are gaining increasing attentions due to their potential roles in intercellular communications. In bone turn over, at the end of bone resorption phase, most osteoclasts undergo apoptosis, generating large amounts of ABs. However, it remains unclear of the role of osteoclast-derived ABs in bone remodeling. Methods: Staurosporine (STS) was used to apoptotic induction and differential centrifugation was used to isolate ABs. Western blotting, flowcytometry and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed for ABs identification, while whole transcriptome of ABs from osteoclasts at different stages was detected by RNA-seq. VENN analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to compare the profile similarities between ABs and parental cells. In vitro efficacy of ABs on angiogenesis and osteogenesis were evaluated by tube formation assay and ALP staining. In vivo, calvarial defect mice model was used to assess the effects of ABs-modified decalcified bone matrix (DBM) scaffolds on angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Results: Here we mapped the whole transcriptome paralleled with small RNA profiling of osteoclast derived ABs at distinct differentiation stages. Whole transcriptome analysis revealed significant differences in RNA signatures among the ABs generated from osteoclasts at different stages. By comparing with parental osteoclast RNA profiles, we found that the transcriptome of ABs exhibited high similarities with the corresponding parental cells. Functionally, in vitro and in vivo studies showed that similar with the parental cells, pOC-ABs potentiated endothelial progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation, whereas mOC-ABs promoted osteogenic differentiation. The inherited biological effects of ABs were shown mediated by several enriched lncRNAs of which the interference abolished AB functions. Conclusions: Our study revealed the total RNA profiles of osteoclast derived ABs and demonstrated their biological functions. Both gene set and functional analysis indicated that osteoclast derived ABs are biologically similar with the parental cells suggesting their bridging role in osteoclast-osteoblast coupling in bone remodeling.

Abstract
Accelerated tumor repopulation following chemoradiation is often observed in the clinic, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In recent years, dying cells caused by chemoradiation have attracted much attention, and they may manifest diverse forms of cell death and release complex factors and thus orchestrate tumor repopulation cascades. Dying cells potentiate the survival of residual living tumor cells, remodel the tumor microenvironment, boost cell proliferation, and accelerate cancer cell metastasis. Moreover, dying cells also mediate the side effects of chemoradiation. These findings suggest more caution when weighing the benefits of cytotoxic therapy and the need to accordingly develop new strategies for cancer treatment.

Abstract
In the last decade, a new method of cell-cell communication mediated by membranous extracellular vesicles (EVs) has emerged. EVs, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs), represent a new and important topic, because they are a means of communication between cells and they can also be involved in removing cellular contents. EVs are characterized by differences in size, origin, and content and different types have different functions. They appear as membranous sacs released by a variety of cells, in different physiological and patho-physiological conditions. Intringuingly, exosomes and microvesicles are a potent source of genetic information carriers between different cell types both within a species and even across a species barrier. New, and therefore still relatively poorly known vesicles are apoptotic bodies, on which numerous in-depth studies are needed in order to understand their role and possible function. In this review we would like to analyze their morpho-functional characteristics.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EV) are a heterogeneous collection of membrane-surrounded structures released from all studied cells, under both physiological and pathological conditions. These nano-size vesicles carry complex cargoes including different classes of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids and are known to act as a communication and signalling vesicles in various cellular process. In addition to their role in development and progression of pathological disorders which make them potentially great biomarkers, EV have beneficial effects, as they take part in homeostasis. In this review we have analysed the evidence for the role of microvesicles and exosomes secreted from other cells on microvascular endothelium (EV uptake) as well as the role of endothelial-derived vesicles on their neighbouring and distant cells (EV release).

Abstract
The many functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs) like exosomes and microvesicles released from healthy cells have been well characterized, particularly in relation to their roles in immune modulation. Apoptotic bodies, a major class of EV released as a product of apoptotic cell disassembly, and other types of EVs released from dying cells are also becoming recognized as key players in this emerging field. There is now increasing evidence to suggest that EVs produced during apoptosis have important immune regulatory roles, a concept relevant across different disease settings including autoimmunity, cancer, and infection. Therefore, this review focuses on how the formation of EVs during apoptosis could be a key mechanism of immune modulation by dying cells.

Abstract
Although cancer is associated with coagulation disorders, it is still unclear how the combination of tumor cell and host factors enhance the hypercoagulable state of cancer patients. Emerging evidence points to a central role for tumor endosomal and plasma membrane-derived vesicular components in the pathogenesis of cancer-related thrombosis. In particular, tumor cell membranes and extracellular vesicles (EV) harbor lipids and proteinaceous coagulation factors able to initiate multiple points within the coagulation matrix. The impact of chemotherapy upon a host already burdened with a hypercoagulable state increases the risk of pathological coagulation. We argue that chemotherapy-induced EV harbor the most active components for cancer related thrombosis and discuss how membrane components of the host and tumor act to initiate coagulation to enhance thrombotic risk in cancer patients.

Abstract
Tumor cells release lipid particles known as extracellular vesicles (EV) that contribute to cancer metastasis, to the immune response, and to thrombosis. When tumors are exposed to radiation or chemotherapy, apoptotic vesicles (ApoVs) are released in abundance as the plasma membrane delaminates from the cytoskeleton. Recent studies have suggested that ApoVs are distinct from the EVs released from living cells, such as exosomes or microvesicles. Depending on their treatment conditions, tumor-released ApoV have been suggested to either enhance or suppress anti-cancer immunity. In addition, tumor-derived ApoV possess procoagulant activity that could increase the thrombotic state in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Since ApoVs are one of the least appreciated type of EVs, we focus in this review on the distinctive characterization of tumor ApoVs and their proposed mechanistic effects on cancer immunity, coagulation, and metastasis.

Abstract
Within an organism, environmental stresses can trigger cell death, particularly apoptotic cell death. Apoptotic cells, themselves, are potent regulators of their cellular environment, involved primarily in effecting homeostatic control. Tumors, especially, exist in a dynamic balance of cell proliferation and cell death. This special feature of the tumorous microenvironment—namely, the prominence and persistence of cell death—necessarily entails a magnification of the extrinsic, postmortem effects of dead cells. In both normal and malignant tissues, apoptotic regulation is exerted through immune as well as non-immune mechanisms. Apoptotic cells suppress the repertoire of immune reactivities, both by attenuating innate (especially inflammatory) responses and by abrogating adaptive responses. In addition, apoptotic cells modulate multiple vital cell activities, including survival, proliferation (cell number), and growth (cell size). While the microenvironment of the tumor may contribute to apoptosis, the postmortem effects of apoptotic cells feature prominently in the reciprocal acclimatization between the tumor and its environment. In much the same way that pathogens evade the host’s defenses through exploitation of key aspects of innate and adaptive immunity, cancer cells subvert several normal homeostatic processes, in particular wound healing and organ regeneration, to transform and overtake their environment. In understanding this subversion, it is crucial to view a tumor not simply as a clone of malignant cells, but rather as a complex and highly organized structure in which there exists a multidirectional flow of information between the cancer cells themselves and the multiple other cell types and extracellular matrix components of which the tumor is comprised. Apoptotic cells, therefore, have the unfortunate consequence of facilitating tumorigenesis and tumor survival.
