Project description:In order to determine the dependency of mature tissue-resident ILCs on combinations of synergistic and antagonising Transcription Factors (TFs), we generated mice with conditional deletions of RORc, RORa and Tbx21 driven from the Id2 allele, utilizing a tamoxifen inducible Cre-recombinase in combination with a tdRFP allele to report Cre-excision (Id2creERT2 x ROSAtdRFP). RFP+ small intestinal ILCs were sorted from the lamina propria digests (gated as CD45+, Lineage negative, CD90+ CD127+, tdRFP+ - see manuscript for full methodological details), from control mice or mice containing loxP flanked alleles for RORc, RORc and RORa or RORc and Tbx21. Four samples of sort-purified ILCs were then subjected to 10X single cell sequencing; - Id2creERT2 - Id2idRORc - Id2idRORc/RORa - Id2idRORc/Tbx21

Project description:The poor prognosis of diffuse gliomas is the consequence of adaptive growth and survival programs coupled to their unsurmountable capacity to infiltrate the brain. Diffuse brain infiltration is a particularly detrimental hallmark of gliomas, however the underlying cellular and signaling mechanisms remain elusive. Histological analysis of glioma samples suggests brain invasion by individual glioma cells extending along blood vessels and nerve tracts, consistent with individual-cell growth and invasion programs. However, using thick 3D tissue sections, we here show that human diffuse gliomas consist of multicellular networks in both tumor center and invasion region. This was confirmed in three orthotopic human glioma xenograft models in mouse brain reflecting neuronal, proneural and mesenchymal subtypes. The connections between glioma cells are provided by either branched filamentous protrusions connecting cells across distance or epithelial-like linear adherens junctions between directly adjacent cells. These intercellular contacts showed dynamic turn-over kinetics, which enabled intercellularly synchronized calcium signaling waves, directionally persistent migration as network and network plasticity. Interference with the stability of adherens junction by downregulating p120-catenin causes irreversibly compromised cell-cell interaction, near-complete inhibition of diffuse brain infiltration and a severe growth defect and marginalized microlesions as outcome. Mining of human glioma cohorts revealed an inverse association of p120 with patient survival and, using next-generation RNA sequencing, profound cell reprogramming with perturbed cell adhesion and axonal guidance pathways was uncovered after p120 downregulation. In conclusion, reminiscent of neuronal and glial progenitor programs during morphogenesis and repair, diffuse gliomas progress as neuronal-like, collective network the subunits of which cooperate by complex cell-cell signaling to promote cell growth and detrimental brain infiltration. Targeting adherens junctions and cell-cell cooperation thus represent unanticipated therapeutic principles to prevent glioma progression.

Project description:Migrated from 1.6 id: 1015897590491013 GEDP id: 760 In current clinical practice, histology-based grading of diffuse infiltrative gliomas is the best predictor of patient survival time. Yet histology provides little insight into the underlying biology of gliomas and is limited in its ability to identify and guide new molecularly targeted therapies. We have performed large-scale gene expression analysis using the Affymetrix HG U133 oligonucleotide arrays on 85 diffuse infiltrating gliomas of all histologic types to assess whether a gene expression-based, histology-independent classifier is predictive of survival and to determine whether gene expression signatures provide insight into the biology of gliomas. We found that gene expression-based grouping of tumors is a more powerful survival predictor than histologic grade or age. The poor prognosis samples could be grouped into three different poor prognosis groups, each with distinct molecular signatures. We further describe a list of 44 genes whose expression patterns reliably classify gliomas into previously unrecognized biological and prognostic groups: these genes are outstanding candidates for use in histology-independent classification of high-grade gliomas. The ability of the large scale and 44 gene set expression signatures to group tumors into strong survival groups was validated with an additional external and independent data set from another institution composed of 50 additional gliomas. This demonstrates that large-scale gene expression analysis and subset analysis of gliomas reveals unrecognized heterogeneity of tumors and is efficient at selecting prognosis-related gene expression differences which are able to be applied across institutions. nelso-00262 Assay Type: Gene Expression Provider: Affymetrix Array Designs: HG-U133A, HG-U133B Organism: Homo sapiens (ncbitax) Material Types: total RNA, synthetic_RNA, organism_part, whole_organism Disease States: Glioma, Glioblastoma, Oligodendroglial Tumor, astrocytomas

Project description:Chronic myelomonocyticleukemia (CMML) is a clinically heterogeneous stem cell malignancy with overlapping features of myelodysplasiaand myeloproliferation. CMML is further subclassified according to percentage of leukemic blasts present in blood or bone marrow, reflecting its intrinsic tendency to progression towards acute myeloid leukemia. Over 90% of CMML patients carry founding mutations in epigenetic and/or splicing genes, which typically involve the primitive stem cell compartment. Thus, transcriptional dysregulation at the stem cell level is likely fundamental to disease onset and progression. However, the critical early hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) subpopulation has not been studied in CMML. We performed single cell RNA sequencing on>6,800 Lin-CD34+CD38-primitive HSPCs from seven CMML patients and three healthy controls. We found substantial inter-and intra-patient heterogeneity, with CMML stem cells displaying distinct transcriptional programs, differentiation potential and cellular signaling pathway priming. Pseudotime analyses revealed that CMML-1/CMML-2 HSPCs have distinct cellular trajectories, indicating that transformation events initiate early within the hematopoietic hierarchy and suggesting against a simple linear clonal evolution dynamic in acute leukemic transformation. We further identified several transcription factors uniquely active in distinct sample subsets. Together our findings provide novel insights into the CMML stem cell compartment, revealing an unexpected degree of transcriptional and subclonal heterogeneity and highlighting early mediators of disease initiation and transformation, of potential translational importance

Project description:Oligodendrogliomas are typically associated with the most favorable prognosis among diffuse gliomas. However, many of the tumors progress, eventually leading to patient death. To characterize the changes associated with oligodendroglioma recurrence and progression, we analyzed two recurrent oligodendroglioma tumors upon diagnosis and after tumor relapse based on whole-genome and RNA sequencing. Relapsed tumors were diagnosed as glioblastomas with an oligodendroglioma component before the World Health Organization classification update in 2016. Both patients died within 12 months after relapse. One patient carried an inactivating POLE mutation leading to a clearly hypermutated progressed tumor. Strikingly, both relapsed tumors carried focal chromosomal rearrangements in PTPRD and CNTNAP2 genes with associated decreased gene expression. TP53 mutation was also detected in both patients after tumor relapse. In The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) diffuse glioma cohort, PTPRD expression decreased by tumor grade in all diffuse glioma subtypes, while CNTNAP2 expression was associated with diffuse glioma subtypes and with tumor grade in oligodendrogliomas and IDH wild-type astrocytomas. Low expression of the genes was associated with poor overall survival. Our analysis provides information about aggressive oligodendrogliomas with worse prognosis and suggests that PTPRD and CNTNAP2 expression could represent an informative marker for their stratification.

Project description:Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGGs) are among the most common solid tumors in children but apart from BRAF mutations or duplications in specific subclasses, few genetic driver events are known. Diffuse PLGGs comprise a set of uncommon subtypes that exhibit invasive growth and are therefore especially challenging clinically. These tumors are particularly poorly understood. We performed high-resolution copy-number analysis of 44 diffuse PLGGs to identify recurrent alterations. Diffuse PLGGs exhibited fewer such alterations than adult low-grade gliomas, but we identified several significantly recurrent events. The most significant event, 8q13.1 gains, were observed in 28% of diffuse astrocytomas grade II (DA2s) and resulted in partial duplication of the transcription factor MYBL1 with truncation of its C-terminal negative-regulatory domain. A similar recurrent deletion-truncation breakpoint was identified in two angiocentric gliomas in the related gene MYB on 6q23.3. Whole-genome sequencing of a MYBL1-rearranged DA2 demonstrated MYBL1 tandem duplication, and few other events. Two novel, truncated MYBL1 transcripts identified in this tumor induced anchorage-independent growth when expressed in 3T3 cells and tumor formation in nude mice. Truncated transcripts were also expressed in two additional tumors with MYBL1 partial duplication. Our results define clinically relevant molecular subclasses of diffuse PLGGs and highlight a potential role for the MYB family in the biology of low-grade gliomas. IRB approval from all institutions was obtained, and all samples were from patients who provided informed consent or were studied with waiver of the requirement for informed consent by the appropriate IRB. Samples of various histologic subtypes were identified and collected at multiple institutions (Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, MA, The University of Texas School of Medicine Southwestern, Dallas, TX, Children’s Cancer Hospital, Egypt, Cairo, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN). Central histopathologic review was performed by at least three board-certified neuropathologists using WHO criteria. DNA extraction from archival FFPE samples and Array CGH were performed as previously described (Craig, et al., 2012 PLoS One). GC-normalized copy-number data for the samples were then cleaned of known germline CNVs. Circular Binary Segmentation was used to segment the copy-number data, using parameters [alpha=0.001, undo.splits=sdundo, undo.SD=1.5, min.width=5]. Forty-four samples passed QC metrics (based on aCGH quality metrics for DNA integrity) for inclusion in the GISTIC analysis. Segmented data were analyzed with GISTIC 2.0 to determine statistically significant recurrent broad and focal CNAs. The following parameters were used: minimum segment size = 8, lesion amplitude threshold = 0.2, focal/broad cutoff = 0.9x chromosome arm length, q-value threshold 0.10, and gene confidence level 0.95.

Project description:In embryo, few Endothelial cells from Aorta would be producing Haemogenic endothelium (HE) cells. These HE cells would then be progressing to take kind of a round shape and Undergo EHT. They then take a full round shape to make Intra-aortic haematopoietic clusters (IAHC) cells. These IAHC cells would then diassociate and turn into Hematopoitic Stem Cells (HSC) that ultimately would go to produce different lineage of hematopoitic (blood) cells. We wanted to study the heterogeneity of HE in human pluripotent stem cells.
