Establishment of Highly Tumorigenic Human Colorectal Cancer Cell Line (CR4) with Properties of Putative Cancer Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the third highest incidence and mortality rates among the US population. According to the most recent concept of carcinogenesis, human tumors are organized hierarchically, and the top of this hierarchy is occupied by malignant stem cells, or cancer stem cells (CSCs), which possess unlimited self-renewal and tumor-initiating capacities and high resistance to conventional anticancer therapies. To reflect the complexity and diversity of human tumors and to provide clinically and physiologically relevant in vivo and in vitro models, a large banks of well characterized patient-derived low-passage cell lines, and especially CSC-enriched cell lines are urgently needed. Using RNA-Seq, we have performed a functional genomic analysis in tumor-initiating fractions of CR4 (small) cells grown adherent to type I collagen versus grown as 3D spheroids, in comparison to the bulk tumor cells (long and dychotomized cells) grown under standard culture conditions.

Project description:Spheroids, near spherical multicellular aggregates, are one of the most common types of threedimensional (3D) cell cultures. Despite decades of implementation of spheroid technology in various fields of life science and medical research, no minimal information (MI) guidelines are available to cope with heterogeneity and to stimulate transparency. To cope with this unmet need, we assembled an international consortium to develop the MISpheroID knowledgebase (https://www.mispheroid.org) and interrogation revealed heterogeneity and lack of transparency in published spheroid-related experiments. This steered us to empirically evaluate the impact of cell line, culture medium type, spheroid formation method and spheroid size on complementary spheroid metrics (RNA fingerprints, presence of cell death, ATP content, glucose to lactate conversion, secreted protein signatures, circularity, size and cancer therapy response). We measured media-induced transcriptional variation in lung cancer (A549), colorectal cancer (HCT116), ovarium cancer (SKOV3) and glioblastoma (U87MG) spheroids using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). These spheroids were formed in ultra-low attachment plates and cultured in 6 different media types (DMEM high glucose, DMEM/F12, RPMI1640, DMEM low glucose, EMEM and MEM) for 5 (HCT116) or 7 (A549, SKOV3 and U87MG) days. RNA extraction was performed on 2 spheroids per condition using the miRNeasy micro kit (217084, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared from purified RNA using the QuantSeq 3' mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina (Lexogen, Vienna, Austria) according to the manufacturer's instructions, using 27.5ng of RNA that was DNase treated using HL-dsDNA (Arcticzymes, TromsØ, Norway). The individual libraries were quantified by qPCR using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit (Roche, Pleasanton, CA, US) and equimolarly pooled. The pool concentration was measured with Qubit and 1.4pM with 1% PhiX was sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, US) using a high-output 1x75 run. Reads were mapped to the human genome using Tophat and gene expression counts were generated using HTSeq. This data was used to perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a catastrophic form of acute lung injury (ALI). The necessity for mechanical ventilation (MV) renders patients at risk for ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). Exposure to repetitive cyclic stretch (CS) and/or over-inflation exacerbates injury. Reducing tidal volume (VT) is the only therapeutic strategy shown to mitigate morbidity and mortality. Cyclic stretch has been shown to differentially regulate gene expression in part through the activation of mammalian mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Although these studies have shown both molecular and cellular alterations, no unifying hypothesis to explain MV-induced lung injury has emerged. In the current study, we hypothesized that coordinated expression of cyclic stretch (CS)-responsive genes relies on the presence of common CS-sensitive regulatory elements. To identify CS-responsive genes, we undertook a comparative examination of the gene expression profile of human bronchial epithelial airway (Beas-2B) cells in response to various injurious stimuli involved in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI)/Ventilator induced lung injury (VILI): cyclic stretch, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Experiment Overall Design: Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (Beas-B2) cells grown on silicon elastic plates coated with Type I collagen (Flexercell International, McKeesport, PA) were exposed to six regiments for 4 h: 1) control (static, [control]); 2) mechanical stretch (25 PKa, 30 cycles per min, [stretch]); 3) LPS (1 mcg/ml [LPS]); 4) TNF-Î± (20 ng/ml; [TNF]); 5) mechanical stretch plus LPS [LPS+S], and 6) mechanical stretch plus TNF-Î± [TNF+S]. Total RNA (duplicate experiments) was extracted using TRIZOL reagent (as per manufactures specifications) and purified using Qiagen mRNA purification Kit (as per manufacturers specifications). mRNA was hybridized to Affymetrix Human U133plus2.0 chips. Probe based analysis, background reduction, and quantile data normalization was performed in MeV 4.0 of TM4 using Robust Multi-array Average (RMA).
