Project description:High resolution transcriptional profiling of H1-derived human neuronal precursor cells over a timecourse of differentiation in vitro. Human NPC differentiation timecourse covers Days 0,1,2,4,5,11, and 18 after induction of neuronal differentiation as described in manuscript. Each time point was assayed in triplicate cultures with the exception of Day 5, in which one outlier culture has been removed.

Project description:There is increasing evidence for tissue stem cells as potential source for cancers. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms at the origin of this transformation remain elusive. Here we show that Delta-like1 (Dll1) mutation induces the oncogenic transformation of neural stem cell–derived neurospheres into oncogenic spheres capable of generating histological and molecular human glioblastoma (GBM)-like tumors upon subcutaneous and intracranial transplantations into nude mice. Serial transplantation assays suggest that Dll1 spheres tumorigenicity results from the oncogenic transformation of normal neural stem cell into GBM-producing stem cell. Compared differentiation of Dll1 vs. WT spheres shows the presence in Dll1 spheres of a subpopulation of cells which although fated to a glial lineage fail to differentiate terminally, in keeping with the astrocytic promoting function of Delta-Notch. This population of astrocyte progenitors proliferates actively and fails to down-regulate EGFR phosphorylation. These studies suggest that Dll1-induced tumorigenesis is restricted to the astrocytic lineage thereby providing a model for human GBM as well as an explanation for the duality of Notch signaling acting either as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor in stem/progenitor cells derived tumors, depending on the lineage commitment. Comparison between control (WT) and mutants (Dll1-3 and Dll1-5) cells was performed. Two biological replicates (n=3 each replicate) were used, and each replicate (n=3, total RNA pooled) was dye-swaped.

Project description:Primary glioma stem cells cultured as neurospheres in NBL media with growth factors were subjected to treatment with the non-toxic, non-psychoactive cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD). Control and CBD- treated cultures were used to generate RNA used to hybridize on Affymetrix DNA arrays Fluorescence intensities data were RMA-normalized using Partek software.

Project description:Large-scale cancer genomics projects are profiling hundreds of tumors at multiple molecular layers, including copy number, mRNA and miRNA expression, but the mechanistic relationships between these layers are often excluded from computational models. We developed a supervised learning framework for integrating molecular profiles with regulatory sequence information to reveal regulatory programs in cancer, including miRNA-mediated regulation. We applied our approach to 320 glioblastoma profiles and identified key miRNAs and transcription factors as common or subtype-specific drivers of expression changes. We confirmed that predicted gene expression signatures for proneural subtype regulators were consistent with in vivo expression changes in a PDGF-driven mouse model. We tested two predicted proneural drivers, miR-124 and miR-132, both underexpressed in proneural tumors, by overexpression in neurospheres and observed a partial reversal of corresponding tumor expression changes. Computationally dissecting the role of miRNAs in cancer may ultimately lead to small RNA therapeutics tailored to subtype or individual. miRNA mimetics were transfected to PDGFRA amplified neurosphere cell lines. Gene expression was measured 24 hours after transfection

Project description:Neurospheres generated in vitro were treated with non-epinephrine or potassium chloride. Gene expression analysis was then carried out to identify genes that are up or down regulated due to chemical treatement. The microarray data for the neurosphere samples was generated at Queensland Brain Institute. Briefly, RNA was isolated from neurospheres generated in presence of either N (norepinephrine) or K (potassium chloride)and converted to cDNA using Applause WT-Amp ST kit (NuGEN). Fragmentation and biotin labelling of the cDNA was carried out using Encore Biotin module (NuGEN) for Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Labelled cDNA was hybridised to arrays in an oven at 45M-BM-0C. Hybridised arrays were scanned using the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner and the scanned data (.CEL files) was transferred to the Partek Genomics Suite and data analysis was carried out as described in Narayanan RK, Mangelsdorf M, Panwar A, Butler TJ, Noakes PG, et al. (2013).

Project description:Axon guidance is required for the establishment of brain circuits. Whether much of the molecular basis of axon guidance is known from animal models, the molecular machinery coordinating axon growth and pathfinding in humans remains to be elucidated. The use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from human donors has revolutionized in vitro studies of the human brain. iPSC can be differentiated into neuronal stem cells which can be used to generate neural tissue-like cultures, known as neurospheres, that reproduce, in many aspects, the cell types and molecules present in the brain. Here, we analyzed quantitative changes in the proteome of neurospheres during differentiation. Relative quantification was performed at early time points during differentiation using iTRAQ-based labeling and LC-MS/MS analysis. We identified 6438 proteins, from which 433 were downregulated and 479 were upregulated during differentiation. We show that human neurospheres have a molecular profile that correlates to the fetal brain. During differentiation, upregulated pathways are related to neuronal development and differentiation, cell adhesion and axonal guidance whereas cell proliferation pathways were downregulated. We developed a functional assay to check for neurite outgrowth in neurospheres and confirmed that neurite outgrowth potential is increased after 10 days of differentiation and is enhanced by increasing cyclic AMP levels. The proteins identified here represent a resource to monitor neurosphere differentiation and coupled to the neurite outgrowth assay can be used to functionally explore neurological disorders using human neurospheres as a model.

Project description:The ganglionic eminence was dissected and neurospheres were cultured from the brain of E13.5 embroys. RNA was isolated from neurospheres cultured from p107-/- embryos and their wildtype littermates. P107 knockout mice have previously been shown to have an increased number of stem cells and enhanced stem cell self renewal. With the microarray experiment we are hoping to discover the genes involved in stem cell number and self renewal along with p107. Experiment Overall Design: this experiment include 2 samples and 14 replicates

Project description:Medulloblastoma is the most common form of malignant paediatric brain tumour and is the leading cause of childhood cancer related mortality. The four molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma that have been identified M-bM-^@M-^S WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4 - have molecular and topographical characteristics suggestive of different cells of origin. Definitive identification of the cell(s) of origin of the medulloblastoma subgroups, particularly the poorer prognosis Group 3 and Group 4 medulloblastoma, is critical to understand the pathogenesis of the disease, and ultimately for the development of more effective treatment options. The gene expression profiles of normal human neural tissues and cell types representing a broad neuro-developmental continuum, were compared to those of two independent cohorts of primary human medulloblastoma specimens. Total RNAwas extracted from 19 human primary medulloblastoma specimens, one human normal fetal brain (NFB) sample consisting of total RNA pooled from 50 individuals (embryonic week 22-33), two normal human fetal germinal matrix (NFGM) samples obtained from the lateral sub-ventricular zones of two 16 week old male fetuses, and CD133+ neural stem cells and CD133- neural progenitor cells isolated from embryonic stem cell derived neurospheres from three individuals. Gene expression profiling was carried out using Affymetrix U133A genechips.
