Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a cystic lung disease that primarily affects women. LAM is caused by the invasion of metastatic smooth muscle-like cells into the lung parenchyma, leading to abnormal cell proliferation, lung remodeling and progressive respiratory failure. LAM cells have TSC gene mutations, which occur sporadically or in people with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Although it is known that hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) due to TSC2 gene mutations contributes to aberrant cell growth in LAM lung, tumor origin and invasive mechanism remain unclear. To determine molecular drivers responsible for aberrant LAM cell growth, we performed integrative single-cell transcriptomic analysis and predicted that STAT1 interacts with Pre-B cell leukemia transcription factor (PBX1) to regulate LAM cell survival. Here, we show activation of STAT1 and STAT3 proteins in TSC2-deficient LAM models. Fludarabine, a potent STAT1 inhibitor, induced the death of TSC2-deficient cells, increased caspase-3 cleavage, and phosphorylation of necroptosis marker RIP1. Fludarabine treatment impeded lung colonization of TSC2-deficient cells and uterine tumor progression, associated with reduced percentage of PCNA-positive cells in vivo. Interestingly, IFN-γ treatment increased STAT1 phosphorylation and PD-L1 expression, indicating that STAT1 aids TSC2-deficient tumor cells in evading immune surveillance in LAM. Our findings indicate that STAT1 signaling is critical for LAM cell survival and could be targeted to treat LAM and other mTORC1 hyperactive tumors.
