Macrodactyly is a congenital overgrowth disorder characterized by pathological adipose proliferation due to PIK3CA mutations in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Due to the somatic mosaicism, the affected tissues comprise a mixture of mutant and wild-type cells. However, how PIK3CA mutated ADSCs influence adjacent wild-type cells in macrodactyly remains poorly understood. In this study, we utilized coculture systems to investigate the effects of macrodactylous adipose-derived stem cells (Mac-ADSCs) on normal ADSCs, fibroblasts (FBs), and vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Our study demonstrated that activating PIK3CA mutations in Mac-ADSCs promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion, adipogenesis, and angiogenesis of wild-type ADSCs, FBs and VECs. Furthermore, using RNA sequencing and cytokine arrays, we revealed that these effects are primarily mediated by various secreted paracrine cytokines. These findings demonstrated that activating PIK3CA mutation alters the paracrine characteristics of Mac-ADSCs and reshapes the microenvironment of macrodactyly, driving adjacent wild-type cells to exhibit mutant-like phenotypes. Targeting PIK3CA with BYL-719 could influence the progression of macrodactyly by inhibiting the paracrine signaling of Mac-ADSCs.
巨指症是一种先天性过度生长障碍,其特征是脂肪来源干细胞(ADSCs)中的PIK3CA突变导致病理性脂肪增殖。由于体细胞镶嵌现象,受影响的组织由突变细胞和野生型细胞混合组成。然而,在巨指症中PIK3CA突变的ADSCs如何影响相邻的野生型细胞仍知之甚少。在本研究中,我们利用共培养系统研究巨指症脂肪来源干细胞(Mac-ADSCs)对正常ADSCs、成纤维细胞(FBs)和血管内皮细胞(VECs)的影响。我们的研究表明,激活Mac-ADSCs中的PIK3CA突变可促进野生型ADSCs、FBs和VECs的增殖、迁移、侵袭、脂肪生成和血管生成。此外,通过RNA测序和细胞因子阵列,我们发现这些作用主要由各种分泌的旁分泌细胞因子介导。这些发现表明,激活PIK3CA突变会改变Mac-ADSCs的旁分泌特征,重塑巨指症的微环境,促使相邻的野生型细胞表现出类似突变体的表型。用BYL-719靶向PIK3CA可通过抑制Mac-ADSCs的旁分泌信号来影响巨指症的进展。
