Abstrakt: Background & Aims: Axin1 is a negative regulator of wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 1 (Wnt)/β-catenin signaling with tumor-suppressor function. The Wnt pathway has a critical role in the intestine, both during homeostasis and cancer, but the role of Axin1 remains elusive.
Methods: We assessed the role of Axin1 in normal intestinal homeostasis, with control, epithelial-specific, Axin1-knockout mice (Axin1 ΔIEC ) and Axin2-knockout mice. We evaluated the tumor-suppressor function of Axin1 during chemically induced colorectal tumorigenesis and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, and performed comparative gene expression profiling by whole-genome RNA sequencing. The clinical relevance of the Axin1-dependent gene expression signature then was tested in a database of 2239 clinical colorectal cancer (CRC) samples.
Results: We found that Axin1 was dispensable for normal intestinal homeostasis and redundant with Axin2 for Wnt pathway down-regulation. Axin1 deficiency in intestinal epithelial cells rendered mice more susceptible to chemically induced colon carcinogenesis, but reduced dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis by attenuating the induction of a proinflammatory program. RNA-seq analyses identified an interferon γ/T-helper1 immune program controlled by Axin1 that enhances the inflammatory response and protects against CRC. The Axin1-dependent gene expression signature was applied to human CRC samples and identified a group of patients with potential vulnerability to immune checkpoint blockade therapies.
Conclusions: Our study establishes, in vivo, that Axin1 has redundant function with Axin2 for Wnt down-regulation and infers a new role for Axin1. Physiologically, Axin1 stimulates gut inflammation via an interferon γ/Th1 program that prevents tumor growth. Linked to its T-cell-mediated effect, the colonic Axin1 signature offers therapeutic perspectives for CRC.
