Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) consisting of an abundance of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which is known to facilitate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The development of single-cell genomics is a powerful method for defining the intricate genetic landscapes of malignancies. In this study, we have employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to dissect the intra-tumoral heterogeneity and analyze the single-cell transcriptomic landscape to detect rare consequential cell subpopulations of significance. The scRNA-seq analysis of TNBC and Normal patient derived samples revealed that EMT markers and transcription factors were most upregulated in MSC population. Further, exploration of gene expression analysis among TNBC and Normal patient-derived MSCs ascertained the role of SQSTM1/P62 and Wnt/β-catenin in TNBC progression. Wnt/β-catenin and Wnt/PCP signaling pathways are prominent contributors of EMT, stemness, and cancer stem cell (CSC) properties of TNBC. SQSTM1/P62 cooperates with the components of the Wnt/PCP signaling pathway and is critically involved at the interface of autophagy and EMT. Moreover, siRNA targeting SQSTM1/P62 and inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin (FH535) in conjunction was used to explore molecular modification of EMT and stemness markers. Although SQSTM1/P62 is not crucial for cell survival, cytotoxicity assay revealed synergistic interaction between the siRNA/inhibitor. Modulation of these important pathways helped in reduction of expression of genes and proteins contributing to CSC properties. Gene and protein expression analysis revealed the induction of EMT to MET. Moreover, co-treatment resulted in inactivation of non-canonical Wnt VANGL2-JNK signaling axis. The synergistic impact of inhibition of SQSTM1/P62 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling facilitates the development of a potential therapeutic regimen for TNBC.

摘要

三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的特征是复杂的肿瘤微环境(TME),其中含有大量的间充质干细胞(MSCs),已知这些细胞可促进上皮间质转化(EMT)。单细胞基因组学的发展是定义恶性肿瘤复杂遗传景观的有力方法。在这项研究中,我们采用单细胞 RNA 测序(scRNA-seq)来剖析肿瘤内异质性,并分析单细胞转录组图谱,以检测具有重要意义的罕见后续细胞亚群。对 TNBC 和正常患者来源样本的 scRNA-seq 分析表明,EMT 标志物和转录因子在 MSC 群体中上调最为明显。此外,在 TNBC 和正常患者来源的 MSC 中进行基因表达分析,确定了 SQSTM1/P62 和 Wnt/β-catenin 在 TNBC 进展中的作用。Wnt/β-catenin 和 Wnt/PCP 信号通路是 EMT、肿瘤干细胞(CSC)特性和 TNBC 干性的主要贡献者。SQSTM1/P62 与 Wnt/PCP 信号通路的成分合作,并在自噬和 EMT 的界面中发挥关键作用。此外,我们还使用靶向 SQSTM1/P62 的 siRNA 和 Wnt/β-catenin 抑制剂(FH535)联合使用,探索 EMT 和干性标志物的分子修饰。尽管 SQSTM1/P62 对细胞存活不是必需的,但细胞毒性测定显示 siRNA/抑制剂之间存在协同作用。对这些重要通路的调节有助于减少与 CSC 特性相关的基因和蛋白的表达。基因和蛋白表达分析显示 EMT 向 MET 的诱导。此外,共同处理导致非经典 Wnt VANGL2-JNK 信号轴失活。抑制 SQSTM1/P62 和 Wnt/β-catenin 信号的协同作用有助于为 TNBC 开发潜在的治疗方案。
