Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exploit the Immune Response Mediating Chemokines to Impact the Phenotype of Glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Four human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) clones (MSC-1, MSC-2, MSC-3, MSC-4) and three different glioblastoma multiformae (GBM) cell lines (U87-MG, U251, U373) were used to study their mutual paracrine interactions in the indirect co-cultures compared to their monocultures, which were grown under the same experimental conditions. The effects on cell growth, proliferation and invasion in matrigel were quantified. Further on, bioinformatic tools were used to relate these results to the data obtained from cytokine macroarrays and DNA microarrays that revealed proteins and genes significantly involved in the interaction. We showed that hMSC are responsible for the impairment of GBM cell invasion and growth, possibly via induction of their senescence. On the other hand, U87-MG cells even more strongly inversely affected some of these characteristics in hMSCs. We found several chemokines that may account for changed co-cultured cells’ phenotype, affecting genes associated with proliferation and senescence. CCL2/MCP-1 was collectively identified as the most significantly regulated chemokine during hMSC and U87-MG paracrine signalling. Its role in U87-MG cell invasion was also functionally confirmed. Microarray data deposited here contain gene expression data from three biological replicates of monocultures and indirect co-cultures of MSC-4 and U87-MG cells, representing 12 microarrays. Three biological replicates of four cell set-ups were performed: MSC-4 monoculture, U87-MG monoculture, MSC-4 co-cultured with U87-MG (in Boyden chambers) and U87-MG co-cultured with MSC-4 (in Boyden chambers).

Project description:Purpose: We identified KPC1 as the ubiquitin ligase that binds to the p105 precursor of NF-kB, ubiquitinates it and mediates its proteasomal processing to generate the p50 active subunit of the transcription factor. Using U87-MG human glioblastoma xenografts, we observed that overexpression of KPC1 results in strong inhibition of tumor growth mediated via excessive generation of p50.The goal of this RNASeq study was to analyze the profile of gene expression in xenografts overexpressing control (V0), KPC1 or p50 vectors, and to further understand how the altered gene expression patterns can explain the tumor suppressive effect we observed. Results:Transcript analysis of U87-MG xenografts overexpressing control (V0), KPC1 or p50 vector mapped to the human genome revealed: • A strong similarity between overexpression of p50 and KPC1 (correlation of 0.51, p-value<10-300 ) • A specific signature of NF-kB targets [21 of the consistently changed genes are known to be regulated by NF-kB (p-value<3.4×10-9 )] • A significant (p-value<1.4×10-18) increase in the expression of 40 tumor suppressor genes, with no significant change in other classes. • A significant down regulation of a cluster of genes including LIN28B, IL-6, HMAGA2 and VEGFA. This finding links well to an established regulatory axis involving LIN28B, Let-7 microRNA, and IL-6 in inflammation and cell transformation that is regulated by NF-kB. Exponentially growing U87-MG cells were stably transfected with an empty vector (V0) or vectors coding for Myc-KPC1 or Flag-p50. Cells were dissociated with trypsin, washed with PBS, and brought to a concentration of 50×10^6 cells/ml. Cell suspension (5×10^6/0.1 ml) was inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank of 7-weeks old male Balb/C nude mice (n=7). Following 21 days, mRNA from U87-MG xenografts was isolated using an RNA purification kit, and analyzed using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer. The RNASeq analysis experiment was repeated twice independently. Run1 included a total of 7 samples. Samples 1-3 were isolated from V0 – control tumors (3 different tumors), samples 4-5 were isolated from KPC1-expressing tumors (2 different pools of 3 tumors each due to small tumor size), and samples 6-7 were isolated from p50-expressing tumors for (2 different pools of 2-3 tumors each, due to very small tumor size). Run2 included a total of 5 samples. Samples 8-10 were isolated from V0 (control) tumors (3 different tumors), samples 11-12 were isolated from KPC1 tumors (2 different pools of 3 tumors each due to small tumor size). Several repeated attempts to extract RNA from the p50-expressing tumors did not yield any results, as the tumors were miniscule.
