| 1 | Depression accelerates gastric cancer invasion and metastasis by inducing a neuroendocrine phenotype via the catecholamine/β_(2)-AR/MACC1 axis显示文摘Background:Depression is a common,easily ignored,accompanied disease of gastric cancer(GC)patients and is often observed with elevated plasma catecholamine levels.Depression frequently promotes GC progression and leads to poor clinical outcomes;however,the molecular mechanisms underlying depression-induced GC progression remain poorly understood.We aimed to study the effects of depression on GC progression and explore possible mechanisms mediating the action of depression-associated catecholamines on GC.Methods:Depression states of GC patients were graded using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9,and plasma catecholamine levels were examined by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry.Migrative and invasive GC cells were examined using transwell assays,and metastatic GC niches were imaged using bioluminescence technology in a depression mouse model established with chronic unpredictable mild stress.Mouse depression-like behaviors were assessed through sucrose preference,forced swimming,and tail suspension tests.Characteristics of the neuroendocrine phenotype were observed via RT-PCR,Western blotting,flow cytometry,and transmission electron microscopy.Results:Fifty-one GC patients(age:53.61±1.79 years;cancer duration:3.71±0.33 months;depression duration:2.37±0.38 months;male-to-female ratio:1.55:1)were enrolled in the study.Depression grade was significantly higher in GC patients showing higher plasma levels of catecholamines(epinephrine:P=0.018;noradrenaline:P=0.009),higher oncogene metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1(MACC1)level(P=0.018),and metastasis(P<0.001).Further,depression-associated catecholamine specifically bound to the beta-2 adrenergic receptor(β_(2)-AR)and upregulated MACC1 expression,and thus promoting neuroendocrine phenotypic transformation through direct binding betweenMACC1 and synaptophysin.Eventually,the neuroendocrine phenotypic transformation accelerated GC invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo.However,β_(2)-AR antagonist ICI-118,551 or MACC1 silencing effectively blocked the catecholamineinduced neuroendocrine phenotypic transformation and eliminated depressionenhanced GC migration and invasion.Moreover,β_(2)-AR blocking or MACC1 silencing prevented GC metastasis attributed to a neuroendocrine phenotype in a depression mouse model.Conclusions:Catecholamine-induced neuroendocrine phenotypes of GC cells led to depression-accelerated GC invasion and metastasis via the β_(2)-AR/MACC1 axis,while β_(2)-AR antagonist or MACC1 silencing could reverse it,showing promising potential therapeutic strategies for improving the outcome of GC patients with comorbid depression. | Changqie Pan Jianhua Wu Siting Zheng Huiying Sun Yisheng Fang Zhenhua Huang Min Shi Li Liang Jianping Bin Yulin Liao Jinzhang Chen Wangjun Liao | 2021 | Cancer Communications2021，41，10： | 4 |
| 2 | HSF1 facilitates the multistep process of lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer via a novel PRMT5-WDR5-dependent transcriptional program显示文摘Background:Lymphatic metastasis has been associated with poor prognosis in bladder cancer patients with limited therapeutic options.Emerging evidence shows that heat shock factor 1(HSF1)drives diversified transcriptome to promote tumor growth and serves as a promising therapeutic target.However,the roles of HSF1 in lymphatic metastasis remain largely unknown.Herein,we aimed to illustrate the clinical roles and mechanisms of HSF1 in the lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer and explore its therapeutic potential.Methods:We screened the most relevant gene to lymphatic metastasis among overexpressed heat shock factors(HSFs)and heat shock proteins(HSPs),and analyzed its clinical relevance in three cohorts.Functional in vitro and in vivo assays were performed in HSF1-silenced and-regained models.We also used Coimmunoprecipitation to identify the binding proteins of HSF1 and chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays to investigate the transcriptional program directed by HSF1.The pharmacological inhibitor of HSF1,KRIBB11,was evaluated in popliteal lymph node metastasis models and patientderived xenograft models of bladder cancer.Results:HSF1 expression was positively associated with lymphatic metastasis status,tumor stage,advanced grade,and poor prognosis of bladder cancer.Importantly,HSF1 enhanced the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of cancer cells in primary tumor to initiate metastasis,proliferation of cancer cells in lymph nodes,and macrophages infiltration to facilitate multistep lymphatic metastasis.Mechanistically,HSF1 interacted with protein arginine methyltransferase 5(PRMT5)and jointly induced the monomethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2(H3R2me1)and symmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2(H3R2me2s).This recruited the WD repeat domain 5(WDR5)/mixed-lineage leukemia(MLL)complex to increase the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4(H3K4me3);resulting in upregulation of lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1(LEF1),matrix metallopeptidase 9(MMP9),C-C motif chemokine ligand 20(CCL20),and E2F transcription factor 2(E2F2).Application of KRIBB11 significantly inhibited the lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer with no significant toxicity.Conclusion:Our findings reveal a novel transcriptional program directed by the HSF1-PRMT5-WDR5 axis during the multistep process of lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer.Targeting HSF1 could be a multipotent and promising therapeutic strategy for bladder cancer patients with lymphatic metastasis. | Ming Huang Wen Dong Ruihui Xie Jilin Wu Qiao Su Wuguo Li Kai Yao Yuelong Chen Qianghua Zhou Qiang Zhang Wenwen Li Liang Cheng Shengmeng Peng Siting Chen Jian Huang Xu Chen Tianxin Lin | 2022 | Cancer Communications2022，42，5： | 2 |
| 3 | Evolution of tumor microenvironment in colorectal liver metastases under treatment stress显示文摘Dear editor,The tumor microenvironment(TME)heavily impacts disease biology and may influence responses to systemic treatments,and thereby,affects patients’prognosis.In our previous study,we found that immune features could predict prognosis and guide the therapy choices for stage I-III colon cancer[1,2].Increasing evidence shows that therapyinduced TME changes can promote tumor progression,metastasis,and the development of resistance[3,4].However,the TME dynamics in colorectal liver metastases(CRLM)under treatment are still incompletely clear. | Na Huang Dongqiang Zeng Xiaoxiang Rong Chunlin Wang Zhenzhen Wu Jian Guo Yuqi Wang Jin Li Jing Li Jiao Wang Siting Zheng Genjie Huang Jianping Bin Yulin Liao Qian Li Xin Yi Wangjun Liao Min Shi | 2022 | Cancer Communications2022，42，5： | 1 |
| 4 | Glutamine metabolic microenvironment drives M2 macrophage polarization tomediate trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer显示文摘Background:Trastuzumab is a first-line targeted therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)-positive gastric cancer.However,the inevitable occurrence of acquired trastuzumab resistance limits the drug benefit,and there is currently no effective reversal measure.Existing researches on the mechanism of trastuzumab resistance mainly focused on tumor cells themselves,while the understanding of the mechanisms of environment-mediated drug resistance is relatively lacking.This study aimed to further explore the mechanisms of trastuzumab resistance to identify strategies to promote survival in these patients.Methods:Trastuzumab-sensitive and trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive tumor tissues and cells were collected for transcriptome sequencing.Bioinformatics were used to analyze cell subtypes,metabolic pathways,and molecular signaling pathways.Changes in microenvironmental indicators(such as macrophage,angiogenesis,and metabolism)were verified by immunofluorescence(IF)and immunohistochemical(IHC)analyses.Finally,a multi-scale agent-based model(ABM)was constructed.The effects of combination treatment were further validated in nude mice to verify these effects predicted by the ABM.Results:Based on transcriptome sequencing,molecular biology,and in vivo experiments,we found that the level of glutamine metabolism in trastuzumabresistant HER2-positive cells was increased,and glutaminase 1(GLS1)was significantly overexpressed.Meanwhile,tumor-derived GLS1 microvesicles drove M2macrophage polarization.Furthermore,angiogenesis promoted trastuzumab resistance.IHC showed high glutamine metabolism,M2 macrophage polarization,and angiogenesis in trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive tumor tissues from patients and nudemice.Mechanistically,the cell division cycle 42(CDC42)promoted GLS1 expression in tumor cells by activating nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)p65 and drove GLS1microvesicle secretion through IQmotif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1(IQGAP1).Based on the ABM and in vivo experiments,we confirmed that the combination of anti-glutamine metabolism,anti-angiogenesis,and pro-M1 polarization therapy had the best effect in reversing trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer.Conclusions:This study revealed that tumor cells secrete GLS1 microvesicles via CDC42 to promote glutamine metabolism,M2 macrophage polarization,and pro-angiogenic function of macrophages,leading to acquired trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer.A combination of anti-glutamine metabolism,anti-angiogenesis,and pro-M1 polarization therapy may provide a new insight into reversing trastuzumab resistance. | Xingbin Hu Zhenfeng Ma Beibei Xu Shulong Li Zhiqi Yao Bishan Liang Jiao Wang Wangjun Liao Li Lin Chunling Wang Siting Zheng Qijing Wu Qiong Huang Le Yu Fenghua Wang Min Shi | 2023 | Cancer Communications2023，43，8： | 0 |
| 5 | Self-sufficient nanoparticles with dual-enzyme activity trigger radical storms and activate cascade-amplified antitumor immunologic responses显示文摘Radiotherapy(RT) can potentially induce systemic immune responses by initiating immunogenic cell death(ICD) of tumor cells.However,RT-induced antitumor immunologic responses are sporadic and insufficient against cancer metastases.Herein,we construct multifunctional self-sufficient nanoparticles(MARS) with dual-enzyme activity(GOx and peroxidase-like) to trigger radical storms and activate the cascade-amplified systemic immune responses to suppress both local tumors and metastatic relapse.In addition to limiting the Warburg effect to actualize starvation therapy,MARS catalyzes glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2)),which is then used in the Cu^(+)-mediated Fenton-like reaction and RT sensitization.RT and chemodynamic therapy produce reactive oxygen species in the form of radical storms,which have a robust ICD impact on mobilizing the immune system.Thus,when MARS is combined with RT,potent systemic antitumor immunity can be generated by activating antigen-presenting cells,promoting dendritic cells maturation,increasing the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes,and reprogramming the immuno suppre ssive tumor microenvironment.Furthermore,the synergistic therapy of RT and MARS effectively suppresses local tumor growth,increases mouse longevity,and results in a 90% reduction in lung metastasis and postoperative recurrence.Overall,we provide a viable approach to treating cancer by inducing radical storms and activating cascade-amplified systemic immunity. | Liping Bai Jin Yang Siting Yu Zhongzheng Xiang Yuanyuan Zeng Meiling Shen Xiaorong Kou Qinjie Wu Changyang Gong | 2024 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2024，14，2： | 0 |
| 6 | Selective deletion of zinc transporter 3 in amacrine cells promotes retinal ganglion cell survival and optic nerve regeneration after injury显示文摘Vision depends on accurate signal conduction from the retina to the brain through the optic nerve,an important part of the central nervous system that consists of bundles of axons originating from retinal ganglion cells.The mammalian optic nerve,an important part of the central nervous system,cannot regenerate once it is injured,leading to permanent vision loss.To date,there is no clinical treatment that can regenerate the optic nerve and restore vision.Our previous study found that the mobile zinc(Zn^(2+))level increased rapidly after optic nerve injury in the retina,specifically in the vesicles of the inner plexiform layer.Furthermore,chelating Zn^(2+)significantly promoted axonal regeneration with a long-term effect.In this study,we conditionally knocked out zinc transporter 3(ZnT3)in amacrine cells or retinal ganglion cells to construct two transgenic mouse lines(VGAT^(Cre)ZnT3^(fl/fl)and VGLUT2^(Cre)ZnT3^(fl/fl),respectively).We obtained direct evidence that the rapidly increased mobile Zn^(2+)in response to injury was from amacrine cells.We also found that selective deletion of ZnT3 in amacrine cells promoted retinal ganglion cell survival and axonal regeneration after optic nerve crush injury,improved retinal ganglion cell function,and promoted vision recovery.Sequencing analysis of reginal ganglion cells revealed that inhibiting the release of presynaptic Zn^(2+)affected the transcription of key genes related to the survival of retinal ganglion cells in postsynaptic neurons,regulated the synaptic connection between amacrine cells and retinal ganglion cells,and affected the fate of retinal ganglion cells.These results suggest that amacrine cells release Zn^(2+)to trigger transcriptomic changes related to neuronal growth and survival in reginal ganglion cells,thereby influencing the synaptic plasticity of retinal networks.These results make the theory of zinc-dependent retinal ganglion cell death more accurate and complete and provide new insights into the complex interactions between retinal cell networks. | Zhe Liu Jingfei Xue Canying Liu Jiahui Tang Siting Wu Jicheng Lin Jiaxu Han Qi Zhang Caiqing Wu Haishun Huang Ling Zhao Yehong Zhuo Yiqing Li | 2023 | Neural Regeneration Research2023，18，12： | 0 |
