Tumor cell integrin β4 and tumor stroma E-/P-selectin cooperatively regulate tumor growth in vivo. J Hematol Oncol 2023; 16:23.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immunological composition of the tumor microenvironment has a decisive influence on the biological course of cancer and is therefore of profound clinical relevance. In this study, we analyzed the cooperative effects of integrin β4 (ITGB4) on tumor cells and E-/P-selectin on endothelial cells within the tumor stroma for regulating tumor growth by shaping the local and systemic immune environment. METHODS We used several preclinical mouse models for different solid human cancer types (xenograft and syngeneic) to explore the role of ITGB4 (shRNA-mediated knockdown in tumor cells) and E-/P-selectins (knockout in mice) for tumor growth; effects on apoptosis, proliferation and intratumoral signaling pathways were determined by histological and biochemical methods and 3D in vitro experiments; changes in the intratumoral and systemic immune cell composition were determined by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry; chemokine levels and their attracting potential were measured by ELISA and 3D invasion assays. RESULTS We observed a very robust synergism between ITGB4 and E-/P-selectin for the regulation of tumor growth, accompanied by an increased recruitment of CD11b+ Gr-1Hi cells with low granularity (i.e., myeloid-derived suppressor cells, MDSCs) specifically into ITGB4-depleted tumors. ITGB4-depleted tumors undergo apoptosis and actively attract MDSCs, well-known to promote tumor growth in several cancers, via increased secretion of different chemokines. MDSC trafficking into tumors crucially depends on E-/P-selectin expression. Analyses of clinical samples confirmed an inverse relationship between ITGB4 expression in tumors and number of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest a distinct vulnerability of ITGB4Lo tumors for MDSC-directed immunotherapies.

Differences in Medium-Induced Conformational Plasticity Presumably Underlie Different Cytotoxic Activity of Ricin and Viscumin. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12020295. [PMID: 35204796 PMCID: PMC8961613 DOI: 10.3390/biom12020295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Structurally similar catalytic subunits A of ricin (RTA) and viscumin (MLA) exhibit cytotoxic activity through ribosome inactivation. Ricin is more cytotoxic than viscumin, although the molecular mechanisms behind this difference are still poorly understood. To shed more light on this problem, we used a combined biochemical/molecular modeling approach to assess possible relationships between the activity of toxins and their structural/dynamic properties. Based on bioassay measurements, it was suggested that the differences in activity are associated with the ability of RTA and MLA to undergo structural/hydrophobic rearrangements during trafficking through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Molecular dynamics simulations and surface hydrophobicity mapping of both proteins in different media showed that RTA rearranges its structure in a membrane-like environment much more efficiently than MLA. Their refolded states also drastically differ in terms of hydrophobic organization. We assume that the higher conformational plasticity of RTA is favorable for the ER-mediated translocation pathway, which leads to a higher rate of toxin penetration into the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Purpose The transcription factor Fra-2 affects the invasive potential of breast cancer cells by dysregulating adhesion molecules in vitro. Previous results suggested that it upregulates the expression of E- and P-selectin ligands. Such selectin ligands are important members of the leukocyte adhesion cascade, which govern the adhesion and transmigration of cancer cells into the stroma of the host organ of metastasis. As so far, no in vivo data are available, this study was designed to elucidate the role of Fra-2 expression in a spontaneous breast cancer metastasis xenograft model. Methods The effect of Fra-2 overexpression in two stable Fra-2 overexpressing clones of the human breast cancer cell line MDA MB231 on survival and metastatic load was studied after subcutaneous injection into scid and E- and P-selectin-deficient scid mice. Results Fra-2 overexpression leads to a significantly shorter overall survival and a higher amount of spontaneous lung metastases not only in scid mice, but also in E- and P-deficient mice, indicating that it regulates not only selectin ligands, but also selectin-independent adhesion processes. Conclusion Thus, Fra-2 expression influences the metastatic potential of breast cancer cells by changing the expression of adhesion molecules, resulting in increased adherence to endothelial cells in a breast cancer xenograft model.

Abstract
In the present study, we assessed the role of annexin 13 membrane-binding protein (ANXA13) in the intracellular transport of vesicles containing type II ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP-IIs). A modified human intestinal epithelial cell line HT29 was used, in which the expression of ANXA13 was significantly reduced. The cytotoxic effect of ricin and viscumin was evaluated by modification of 28S ribosome RNA. The observed differences in the activity of toxins on the parental and modified HT29 lines indicate that ANXA13 plays a different role in the intracellular transport of vesicles containing the RIP-IIs.

Abstract
The role of proteasome proteins and proteins of the ERAD system in the cytotoxicity of type II ribosome-inactivating proteins ricin and viscumin was investigated. For this, the cell line of colorectal adenocarcinoma HT29, as well as the HT29-sh002 line obtained on its basis, were used. On the basis on the proteome analysis of these lines and the estimation of the proportion of inactivated ribosomes, it was shown that the contribution of the proteasome to the degradation of the catalytic subunits of toxins is different. The role of the Cdc37 co-chaperone in maintaining the stability of A subunit of viscumin in the cytoplasm is shown.

Abstract
The integrity of the intestinal epithelial cell lining is crucial for the normal intestinal function. As a rule, intestinal inflammation is associated with additional tissue hypoxia, leading to the loss of epithelial monolayer integrity. However, in the absence of visible damage to the epithelium, there still might be a risk of infection driven by changes in the intracellular transport of bacteria-containing vesicles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hypoxia on transcytosis using a human intestinal enterocyte model. We found that hypoxia enhances transcytosis of the model protein ricin 1.8-fold. The comparative transcriptome and proteome analyses revealed significant changes in the expression of genes involved in intracellular vesicle transport. Specifically, the expression of apoB (the regulator of lipid metabolism) was changed at both protein (6.5-fold) and mRNA (2.1-fold) levels. Further research is needed into the possible mechanism regulating gene expression in intestinal erythrocytes under hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
The interaction of tumor cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) may affect the rate of cancer progression and metastasis. One of the major components of ECM are laminins, the heterotrimeric glycoproteins consisting of α-, β-, and γ-chains (αβγ). Laminins interact with their cell surface receptors and, thus, regulate multiple cellular processes. In this work, we demonstrate that shRNA-mediated knockdown of the α5 laminin chain results in Wnt- and mTORC1-dependent partial dedifferentiation of colorectal cancer cells. Furthermore, we showed that this dedifferentiation involved activation of ER-stress signaling, pathway promoting the sensitivity of cells to 5-fluorouracil.

Abstract
Specificity of RNAi to selected target is challenged by off-target effects, both canonical and non-canonical. Notably, more than half of all human microRNAs are co-expressed with hosting them proteincoding genes. Here we dissect regulatory subnetwork centered on IGFBP6 gene, which is associated with low proliferative state and high migratory activity of basal-like breast cancer. We inhibited expression of IGFBP6 gene in a model cell line for basal-like breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231, then traced secondary and tertiary effects of this knockdown to LAMA4, a laminin encoding gene that contributes to the phenotype of triple-negative breast cancer. LAMA4-regulating miRNA miR-4274 and its host gene SORCS2 were highlighted as intermediate regulators of the expression levels of LAMA4, which correlated in a basal-like breast carcinoma sample subset of TCGA to the levels of SORCS2 negatively. Overall, our study points that the secondary and tertiary layers of regulatory interactions are certainly underappreciated. As these types of molecular event may significantly contribute to the formation of the cell phenotypes after RNA interference based knockdowns, further studies of multilayered molecular networks affected by RNAi are warranted.

Abstract
Formation of distant metastases is by far the most common cause of cancer-related deaths. The process of metastasis formation is complex, and within this complex process the formation of migratory cells, the so called epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), which enables cancer cells to break loose from the primary tumor mass and to enter the bloodstream, is of particular importance. To break loose from the primary cancer, cancer cells have to down-regulate the cell-to-cell adhesion molecuIes (CAMs) which keep them attached to neighboring cancer cells. In contrast to this downregulation of CAMS in the primary tumor, cancer cells up-regulate other types of CAMs, that enable them to attach to the endothelium in the organ of the future metastasis. During EMT, the expression of cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesion molecules and their down- and upregulation is therefore critical for metastasis formation. Tumor cells mimic leukocytes to enable transmigration of the endothelial barrier at the metastatic site. The attachment of leukocytes/cancer cells to the endothelium are mediated by several CAMs different from those at the site of the primary tumor. These CAMs and their ligands are organized in a sequential row, the leukocyte adhesion cascade. In this adhesion process, integrins and their ligands are centrally involved in the molecular interactions governing the transmigration. This review discusses the integrin expression patterns found on primary tumor cells and studies whether their expression correlates with tumor progression, metastatic capacity and prognosis. Simultaneously, further possible, but so far unclearly characterized, alternative adhesion molecules and/or ligands, will be considered and emerging therapeutic possibilities reviewed.
