Summary
Cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass, with or without loss of adipose tissue. It affects nearly 80% of cancer patients with advanced-stage disease, and is prevalent in lung, pancreas, and head and neck cancers. Secreted molecules from the tumor microenvironment, known as the secretome, contribute to a pro-inflammatory state associated with cachexia development. Cachexia-inducing factors (CIF) from the tumor secretome show a specific gene expression profile according to cancer type and prevalence of cachexia. However, it is not clear which cancer cell lines are most suitable for studying the syndrome. We analyzed the expression of secretome genes in 89 cancer cell lines and the respective primary tumors (lung, skin, pancreas, ovary, kidney, head and neck, prostate, breast, brain, hematologic, and colorectal) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data available at the Curated Cancer Cell Atlas (3CA) database (https://www.weizmann.ac.il/sites/3CA/). We selected five cancer cell lines that showed a high correlating to the primary tumor using the online tool Celligner (https://depmap.org/portal/celligner/). The CIF genes were selected using the literature mining tools Geneshot (https://maayanlab.cloud/geneshot/) and Open Target (https://www.opentargets.org/) with the terms cachexia and cancer cachexia. The list of CIF genes from literature was further filtered by the human secretome according to the Human Protein Atlas (https://www.proteinatlas.org/) to ensure that only secretome genes were selected. We obtained scRNA-seq data of these cell lines and from 11 cancer types (lung, skin, pancreas, ovary, kidney, head and neck, prostate, breast, brain, hematologic, and colorectal) from the publicly available Curated Cancer Cell Atlas (3CA) database (https://www.weizmann.ac.il/sites/3CA/). We reanalyzed the scRNA-seq data using Rstudio (https://www.rstudio.com - v4.2) with the Seurat package (v4). and by Pearson correlation, indicate the most mateched ones. First, we selected 123 CIFs that were investigated in 89 highly correlated cell lines (22,073 single-cells) and 259.431 malignant single-cells from primary tumors. The average scaled expression of the 101 CIFs that was present in the cell lines had a correlation profile according to the tumor type, revealing that the cell lines LNCAPCLONEFGC (r = 0.43; p = 3.15E-05), HCC1419 (r = 0.4; p = 1.08E-04 ), and LS180 (r = 0.31; p = 0.00308) derived from prostate, breast, and lung cancers, respectively, showed the highest correlation values with the neoplastic cells, suggesting that they are most appropriate for study cachexia, enabling a better results when studying this heterogeneous syndrome.
