Although cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) heterogeneity is well-established, the impact of chemotherapy on CAF populations remains poorly understood. Here we address this question in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), in which we previously identified 4 CAF populations. While the global content in stroma increases in HGSOC after chemotherapy, the proportion of FAP CAF (also called CAF-S1) decreases. Still, maintenance of high residual CAF-S1 content after chemotherapy is associated with reduced CD8 T lymphocyte density and poor patient prognosis, emphasizing the importance of CAF-S1 reduction upon treatment. Single cell analysis, spatial transcriptomics and immunohistochemistry reveal that the content in the ECM-producing ANTXR1 CAF-S1 cluster (ECM-myCAF) is the most affected by chemotherapy. Moreover, functional assays demonstrate that ECM-myCAF isolated from HGSOC reduce CD8 T-cell cytotoxicity through a Yes Associated Protein 1 (YAP1)-dependent mechanism. Thus, efficient inhibition after treatment of YAP1-signaling pathway in the ECM-myCAF cluster could enhance CD8 T-cell cytotoxicity. Altogether, these data pave the way for therapy targeting YAP1 in ECM-myCAF in HGSOC.
尽管癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAF)的异质性已得到充分证实,但化疗对 CAF 群体的影响仍知之甚少。在这里,我们在高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSOC)中解决了这个问题,我们之前在该癌症中鉴定了 4 种 CAF 群体。尽管化疗后 HGSOC 中基质的总体含量增加,但成纤维细胞激活蛋白(FAP)阳性 CAF(也称为 CAF-S1)的比例下降。尽管如此,化疗后仍保持高残留 CAF-S1 含量与 CD8 T 淋巴细胞密度降低和患者预后不良相关,这强调了治疗时减少 CAF-S1 的重要性。单细胞分析、空间转录组学和免疫组织化学显示,产生细胞外基质的 ANTXR1 CAF-S1 簇(ECM-myCAF)中的含量受化疗影响最大。此外,功能测定表明,从 HGSOC 中分离出的 ECM-myCAF 通过 Yes 相关蛋白 1(YAP1)依赖性机制降低 CD8 T 细胞的细胞毒性。因此,在 ECM-myCAF 簇中治疗后有效抑制 YAP1 信号通路可以增强 CD8 T 细胞的细胞毒性。总而言之,这些数据为针对 HGSOC 中 ECM-myCAF 中的 YAP1 进行治疗铺平了道路。
