Project description:The lung epithelium contains multiple distinct cell types which are maintained by regionally specific progenitor cell populations in both the airways and in the alveolar compartments. Each of the progenitor populations are known to have varying roles during homeostasis and have increasingly been shown to be deranged in lung diseases. The progenitor cells of the proximal lung epithelium are the basal cells (Krt5+/Krt14+/p63+) which sit at the basement membrane of the trachea, referred to as, proximal progenitors in this study. On the other hand, the distal alveolar epithelium is maintained by alveolar type II cells (Sftpc+), referred to as distal progenitors in this study. Several cell isolation methods are available to isolate each of these populations of proximal and distal progenitors but are traditionally performed separately on mice which is especially important in the context of disease. Methods which allow the isolation of the entire epithelial population from murine lungs, while retaining the capability to perform downstream studies such as organoid assays and air-liquid-interface, would open new possibilities for studying interactions between the proximal and distal airways in lung disease. However, an easy and reproducible method that allows isolation of both cell types simultaneously from an individual mouse has not been previously described. This is in part due to the technical and surgical challenges associated with each isolation method as well as, in part, due to a lack of cell surface markers that are specific and unique to each cell type that could allow their isolation from a single cell suspension of the entire epithelium. Additionally, transgenic models have been shown to be leaky and mark populations other than the target cells. Thus, classical methods that rely on positive or negative selection, coupled by surgical isolation remain the state of the art. In order to facilitate isolation of proximal and distal progenitors from an individual mouse, we developed a 3D printable Lobe Divider (3DLD) that allows for the reproducible separation of the trachea and lung lobes while allowing for controllable and temporal instillation of cell dissociation buffers for both cell isolation procedures. The efficacy of the 3DLD in isolating the two populations and the functionality of the cells isolated with the 3DLD was validated through multiple differentiation assays. Proximal progenitors were differentiated in 2D at air-liquid interface (ALI) culture for 28 days after monolayer formation for 7days. Distal progenitors isolated with the 3DLD or with the equivalent classical tracheal ligation method were differentiated in organoid culture in Matrigel for 14 days while at ALI. Total RNA was isolated from cell pellets of all cell types before differentiation, from ALI cultures of proximal cells, and organoids of distal cells isolated with 3DLD or classic method. Qiagen RNeasy micro kit (74004, QIAGEN, Sweden) was used to isolate total RNA following the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA concentrations were measured using NanoDrop 1000 and Qubit™ RNA HS Assay Kit (Q32852, Fisher Scientific). RNA quality was evaluated by the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer. Library preparation was done using the Illumina Stranded mRNA Prep Ligation (20040534, Illumina) with 14 cycles under final PCR amplification and samples were indexed with IDT for Illumina RNA UD Indexes Set B, Ligation (20040554, Illumina) for multiplexing. Clean up steps were automated using the King Fisher FLEX (18-5400620, Thermo Scientific). Library concentration was checked using the QuantIT 1X dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Q33232) and library size and quality were checked using the 5200 Fragment Analyzer™ 12-capillary (M3510AA, Agilent) using the DNF-930 dsDNA Reagent Kit, 75 bp – 20,000 bp(500 Samples) (Part # DNF-930-K0500, Agilent). A library input of 1.25 nM was sequenced using NovaSeq 6000 Sequencing System (20012850, Illumina).

Project description:PI3K inhibitors with differential selectivity to distinct PI3K isoforms have been tested extensively in clinical trials, largely to target tumor epithelial cells. PI3K signaling also regulates the immune system and inhibition of PI3Kdelta modulate the tumor immune microenvironment of pre-clinical mouse tumor models by relieving T-regs-mediated immunosuppression. While PI3K inhibitors as a class and PI3Ka/d specifically are associated with immune-related side effects. However, the impact of mixed PI3K inhibitors in tumor immunology is under-explored. Here we examine the differential effects of AZD8835 a dual PI3Ka/d inhibitor specifically on the tumor immune microenvironment using syngeneic CT26 mice. CT-26 (5x10^6 cells/mouse) tumor cells were implanted subcutaneously (s.c.) in the left flank of female Balb/c and C57/Bl6 mice, respectively. AZD8835 was dosed at 50mg/kg twice daily in at 2days on/ 5 days off schedule for times indicated in figures or 25mg/kg BID daily. At end of study tumor tissues were then transferred into the gentleMACS C Tube containing RPMI. Tumor samples were processed using the mouse tumor dissociation kit from Miltenyi Biotec. Cells were liberated from tumors for downstream application using a mouse tumor dissociation kit and octodissociator (Miltenyi) according to manufacturer’s instructions. For RNA sequencing, total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy 96 Qiacube HT Kit (Qiagen), quality validated using nanodrop and Quantit RNA Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher), and submitted for TrueSeq Stranded mRNA library preparation, following the manufacturer’s instructions (Illumina). Resulting libraries were sequenced on the HiSeq4000 System.

Project description:The ability to modulate immune-inhibitory pathways using checkpoint blockade antibodies such as PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 represents a significant breakthrough in cancer therapy in recent years. This has driven interest in identifying small-molecule-immunotherapy combinations to increase the proportion of responses. Murine syngeneic models, which have a functional immune system, represent an essential tool for pre-clinical evaluation of new immunotherapies. However, immune response varies widely between models and the translational relevance of each model is not fully understood, making selection of an appropriate pre-clinical model for drug target validation challenging. Utilizing RNAseq transcriptomic profiling, we have characterised the changes in gene regulatory pathways and immune populations in CT26 mice after treatment with the combination of anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. At day 7 post tumor implant, the pathways analysis of differentially expressed genes indicated an enrichment for migration of leukocytes in response to inflammation and communication between innate and adaptive immune cells. Similarly, analysis of upstream regulators suggested that lipopolysaccharide, IL-1B, TNF, IFNG, and NFKB1A pathways associated with inflammation were activated. At day 14, pathways related T-helper cell signalling pathways were upregulated. In addition, upstream regulators of the lipopolysaccharide and IFNG pathway, as well STAT1 and IL21 pathway were enriched, indicative of innate and adaptive immune response to inflammation.

Project description:Aging is often associated with cognitive decline, but many elderly individuals maintain a high level of function throughout life. Here we studied outbred rats, which also exhibit individual differences across a spectrum of outcomes that includes both preserved and impaired spatial memory. Previous work in this model identified the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus as a region critically affected by age and integral to differing cognitive outcomes. Earlier microarray profiling revealed distinct gene expression profiles in the CA3 region, under basal conditions, for aged rats with intact memory and those with impairment. Because prominent age-related deficits within the CA3 occur during neural encoding of new information, here we used microarray analysis to gain a broad perspective of the aged CA3 transcriptome under activated conditions. Behaviorally induced CA3 expression profiles differentiated aged rats with intact memory from those with impaired memory. In the activated profile, we observed substantial numbers of genes (greater than 1000) exhibiting increased expression in aged unimpaired rats relative to aged impaired, including many involved in synaptic plasticity and memory mechanisms. This unimpaired aged profile also overlapped significantly with a learning induced gene profile previously acquired in young adults. Alongside the increased transcripts common to both young learning and aged rats with preserved memory, many transcripts behaviorally-activated in the current study had previously been identified as repressed in the aged unimpaired phenotype in basal expression. A further distinct feature of the activated profile of aged rats with intact memory is the increased expression of an ensemble of genes involved in inhibitory synapse function, which could control the phenotype of neural hyperexcitability found in the CA3 region of aged impaired rats. These data support the conclusion that aged subjects with preserved memory recruit adaptive mechanisms to retain tight control over excitability under both basal and activated conditions. RNA profiles from cognitively unimpaired and impaired aged rats were compared under 2 conditions: spatial learning task and a non-spatial learning task.
