Published OnlineFirst September 23, 2020; DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-20-0461 ABSTRACT Glycine 34-to-tryptophan (G34W) substitutions in H3.3 arise in approximately 90% of giant cell tumor of bone (GCT). Here, we show H3.3 G34W is necessary for tumor formation. By profi ling the epigenome, transcriptome, and secreted proteome of patient samples and tumor-derived cells CRISPR–Cas9-edited for H3.3 G34W, we show that H3.3K36me3 loss on mutant H3.3 alters the deposition of the repressive H3K27me3 mark from intergenic to genic regions, beyond areas of H3.3 deposition. This promotes redistribution of other chromatin marks and aberrant transcription, altering cell fate in mesenchymal progenitors and hindering differentiation. Single-cell transcriptomics reveals that H3.3 G34W stromal cells recapitulate a neoplastic trajectory from a SPP1 + osteoblast-like progenitor population toward an ACTA2 + myofi broblast-like population, which secretes extracellular matrix ligands predicted to recruit and activate osteoclasts. Our fi ndings suggest that H3.3 G34W leads to GCT by sustaining a transformed state in osteoblast-like progenitors, which promotes neoplastic growth, pathologic recruitment of giant osteoclasts, and bone destruction. SIGNIFICANCE: This study shows that H3.3 G34W drives GCT tumorigenesis through aberrant epi- genetic remodeling, altering differentiation trajectories in mesenchymal progenitors. H3.3 G34W promotes in neoplastic stromal cells an osteoblast-like progenitor state that enables undue interac- tions with the tumor microenvironment, driving GCT pathogenesis. These epigenetic changes may be amenable to therapeutic targeting in GCT. See related commentary by Licht, p. 1794.

EMT can be induced by soluble proteins like transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) and transcription factors including Snail and Slug. We uti- lized the ARCaPE/ARCaPM prostate cancer progression model and LNCaP clones stably overexpressing Snail to identify novel markers associated with EMT. Compared to ARCaPE cells, the highly tumorigenic mesenchymal ARCaPM and ARCaPM1 variant cells displayed a higher incidence of bone metastasis after intracardiac administration in SCID mice. ARCaPM and ARCaPM1 expressed mesenchymal stromal markers of vimentin and N-cadherin in addition to elevated levels of Receptor Activator of NF-κB Ligand (RANKL). We observed that both epidermal growth factor (EGF) plus TGFβ1 treatment and Snail overexpression induced EMT in ARCaPE and LNCaP cells, and EMT was associated with increased expression of RANKL protein.

Data from animal studies indicate that TRAIL may possibly contribute to the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, ischemic stroke and abdomi- nal aortic aneurysm. It has been also suggested that TRAIL might be useful in cardiovascular risk stratification. This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether TRAIL is a risk factor or risk marker in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) focusing on major adverse cardiovascular events. Two databases (PubMed and Cochrane Library) were searched until December 2020 without a year limit in accor- dance to the PRISMA guidelines. A total of 63 eligible original studies were identified and included in our systematic review. Studies suggest an important role of TRAIL in disorders such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, peripheral artery disease, and pul- monary and gestational hypertension. Most evidence associates reduced TRAIL levels and increased TRAIL-R2 concentration with all-cause mortality in patients with CVDs. It is, however, unclear Citation: Kakareko, K.; whether low TRAIL levels should be considered as a risk factor rather than a risk marker of CVDs.

Abstract: The receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)/RANK signaling pathway was identified in the late 1990s and is the key mediator of bone remodeling. Targeting RANKL with the antibody denosumab is part of the standard of care for bone loss diseases, including bone metastases (BM). Over the last decade, evidence has implicated RANKL/RANK pathway in hormone and HER2-driven breast carcinogenesis and in the acquisition of molecular and phenotypic traits associated with breast cancer (BCa) aggressiveness and poor prognosis. This marked a new era in the research of the therapeutic use of RANKL inhibition in BCa. RANKL/RANK pathway is also an important immune mediator, with anti-RANKL therapy recently linked to improved response to immunotherapy in melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This review summarizes and discusses the pre-clinical and clinical evidence of the relevance of the RANKL/RANK pathway in cancer biology and therapeutics, focusing on bone metastatic disease, BCa onset and progression, and immune modulation.

Breast cancer cells produce and encounter autocrine and paracrine cytokine signals in the bone microenvironment, which can influence their behavior in multiple ways. For example, these signals can promote the survival and dormancy of bone-disseminated cancer cells or stimulate proliferation. The interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine family, defined by its use of the glycoprotein 130 (gp130) co-receptor, includes interleukin-11 (IL-11), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), among others. These cytokines are known to have overlapping pleiotropic functions in different cell types and are important for cross-talk between bone-resident cells. IL-6 cytokines have also been implicated in the progression and metastasis of breast, prostate, lung, and cervical cancer, highlighting the importance of these cytokines in the tumor–bone microenvironment. This review will describe the role of these cytokines in skeletal remodeling and cancer progression both within and outside of the bone microenvironment.

  • The Role of Fasl/Fas Signaling Network in Infections and Tumorigenesis
    The Role of FasL/Fas Signaling Network in Infections and Tumorigenesis T Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity: All multicellular organisms are susceptible to tumor formation as well as infections from pathogenic viruses and bacteria, which serve as threats to the host organism. The host in turn deploys an immune response to ward off infections and eliminate malignant cells. T cell-mediated cytotoxicity is a complex and coordinated process that is critical for efficient immunological control of pathogenic infections and tumors (Kagi et al., 1996). This host defense mechanism is mediated by cytotoxic lymphocytes, a class of cells that includes CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). As important effectors of the adaptive immune system, CTLs scan tissues for cellular abnormalities and infections and have the ability to directly destroy malignant/infected cells by inducing apoptosis. Briefly, CTLs screen potential target cells for expression of foreign peptide fragments from cellular proteins and then destroy identified cells. The specificity of this process is mediated through cell surface T cell receptors on CTLs, which interact with antigen-derived peptides presented by the class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC1) on the surface of target cells. Once the CTL identifies its target cell, it delivers the “lethal hit” by one of two distinct mechanisms described below (Takayama et al., 1995). The initially characterized pathway is a Figure 1 calcium-dependent granule exocytosis pathway. In this pathway, effector cells secrete cytolytic proteins such as perforin and granzyme that penetrate target cells, initiate cytosolic and nuclear changes which culminate in apoptosis, thereby eliminating potentially harmful cells. The existence of an alternate pathway was proposed based on the observations that effector T cells from perforin knockout mice retained cytotoxic activity and were capable of inducing apoptosis in target cells.
