Project description:The identification and characterization of subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs) provide new understandings and possible therapeutic implications in cancer biology. We found the ovarian cancer sphere cells possessed CSCs properties maintained self renewal, drug resistance, and tumorigenesis. Using high-throughput microarray system, we identified common GO terms and pathway signatures significantly enriched in ovarian and breast cancer stem cells. Ovarian and breast cancer cells were cultured in sphere formation conditions, and total RNA from those spheres and conresponding adhered cell was hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Trophoblast is the primary epithelial cell type in the placenta, a transient organ required for proper fetal growth and development. We have identified a CDX2+/p63+ cytotrophoblast (CTB) subpopulation in the early post-implantation human placenta, which is significantly reduced later in gestation. CTB differentiate into different trophoblast subtypes, which are responsible for gas/nutrient exchange (syncytiotrophoblast/STB) and invasion and maternal vascular remodeling (extravillous trophoblast/EVT). Study of early human placental development is severely hampered by lack of a representative trophoblast stem cell (TSC) model, with the capacity for self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into both STB and EVT. We describe a reproducible protocol, using defined media containing BMP4, by which human embryonic stem cells (hESC) can be differentiated into CDX2+/p63+ CTB-like cells. These cells can be replated to further differentiate into STB- and EVT-like cells, based on marker expression, hormone secretion and invasive ability. Differentiation of hPSC-derived CTB in hypoxia leads to reduced hCG secretion and STB-associated gene expression, instead inducing EVT differentiation in a hypoxia-inducible factor-dependent manner. Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) (WA09/H9) were maintained on Geltrex-coated plates (BD Biosciences ) in StemPro (Thermo Fisher) + bFGF (12 ng/ml). Undifferentiated hESC (D-2) were switched to minimal media (EMIM (Erb et al., 2011) containing KO DMEM/F12 (Gibco), 1% Insulin-Transferrin-Selenium Mix (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% NEAA (Gibco), 2mM L-Glutamine (Corning), 0.1mM 2-mercaptoethanol (Gibo), and 2% BSA (Gemini Bio Products)) for 2 days then treated with BMP4 (StemRD, 10ng/ml) for 3 days in minimal media+BMP4 (D3). At D3, cells were replated onto Geltrex in Feeder Conditioned Media +BMP4 and cultured in normoxia (20% O2) or hypoxia (2% O2) for 2 days (D3+2) to assess the effect of hypoxia. Cells were infected with lentiviral shRNA for shScramble (control) or shARNT, the beta subunit of the Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) complex to assess the effect of ARNT knockdown. Each sample includes biological triplicates.

Project description:The efficacy of cancer treatments have improved constantly in the last decade. However, therapeutic resistance and the lack of curative treatments in metastatic disease, raises the question if conventional anticancer therapies target the right cells. Indeed, these treatments might miss cancer stem cells (CSCs), which might also represent a more chemoresistant and radioresistant subpopulation within cancer. In this view using vaccines in tertiary prevention of cancer, i.e. residual disease treatment, might be particularly effective if vaccine-elicited immune response is directed against CSC oncoantigens (OAs) — proteins required for the neoplastic process — the chance that the tumour will evade the vaccine should be reduced. An important task to devise effective CSC preventive vaccines is therefore the identification of CSC OAs. We used gene-level transcription profiling of TuBo epithelial cell and three mammosphere passages (P1, P2 and P3). This analysis allowed the identification of two new breast cancer CSC OAs: TMPRSS4 and xCT. Both genes are linked to invasion, migration and metastasis. These results were achieved integrating data derived by the analysis of transcription profile of CSCs derived by BALB-neuT mouse breast cancer model with meta-analyses of seven large independent breast tumour data sets. TuBo cell line (E) was compared to passage 1 (P1), 2 (P2) and 3 (P3) mammospheres (three independent experiments for each experimental condition). Transcription profiling was done using MouseWG-6 v2.0 Illumina beadchips. After normalization and removal of non significant probes (i.e. those not expressed and those not changing) differential expression between epithelial and mammospheres, was assessed using regularized t-test comparing each mammosphere passage with respect to TuBo cells using a FDR ≤ 0.05 together with an |log2(fold-change)|≥1. The union of the three sets of differentially expressed transcripts produced a total of 495 transcripts.

Project description:Sphere-forming progenitor cells can be isolated from the fetal and adult mammalian inner ear and give rise to inner ear specific cell types in vitro. Here, we provide phenotypical and functional characterization of a new pool of auditory progenitors as sustainable source for sphere-derived auditory neurons. The so-called phoenix auditory neuroprogenitors, isolated from the A/J mouse spiral ganglion, exhibit nearly unlimited intrinsic self-renewal properties (beyond 40 passages). At any passage, phoenix spheres can be efficiently differentiated by withdrawing growth factors into mature spiral ganglion cells, expressing both neurons and glial cells phenotypic markers and exhibiting similar functional properties as mouse spiral ganglion explants and human sphere-derived spiral ganglion cells. The present dataset includes RNAseq-based transcriptome analysis of phoenix auditory neurons following 7 days of differentiation. mRNA levels in differentiated cells are expressed relatively to neuroprogenitor spheres of equivalent passage (paired samples at passage 12, 21 and 36)

Project description:The SNAI1 and SNAI2 embryonic genes are reactivated in numerous cancer types, including carcinomas. They promote cancer cell dissemination by inducing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and by protecting cells from anoikis. We now have demonstrated that the sequentially related SNAI3 gene is aberrantly reactivated in human breast carcinomas. To compare the functional properties of the three SNAIL family members, the transcription factors were ectopically expressed in immortalized mammary epithelial cells. Immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC-hTERT cells) or MCF10A cells were infected with SNAIL retroviral expression constructs. The gene expression profiles of the resulting cell lines, cultured in standard conditions or after plating them 24h in low-adherent (LA) conditions, were performed.

Project description:We have generated tumorigenic (S2N) and non-tumorigenic (S2), normal-like to basal-like breast cancer cell lines from primary tumors. At high in vivo inoculation cell numbers of 10^6 cells/mouse both S2N and S2 monolayer as well as sphere culture cells grew at similar rates. However, at low inoculation cell numbers down to 10^3 cells only S2N sphere cells generated xenograft tumors. mRNA profiling revealed a unique cluster pattern of the tumorigenic S2N sphere cells, but a detailed analysis of TIC relevant transcription factors like Oct3, Sox and Nanog family members, Myc, Slug or Twist1 revealed no consistently increased expression in the highly tumorigenic cell lines. Our data indicate that the intrinsic genetic and functional markers investigated are not solely indicative of the in vivo tumorigenicity of putative breast tumor-initiating cells. 4 samples with 3 replicates each

Project description:In the past few years, mammary cancer initiating cells (CICs) have been identified in mouse and human as a subpopulation of tumor cells that selectively posses tumor initiation and self-renewal capacity and the ability to give rise to bulk populations of non-tumorigenic cancer cells progeny through differentiation. They could also be responsible for tumor progression, metastasis, resistance to therapy and recurrence. Thus, the understanding of the pathways regulating CIC self-renewal, differentiation and tumorigenicity represents an important task in the development of effective anticancer therapies. To detect the set of genes associated to CIC in our mouse breast cancer model we analysed three prototypic situations: TUBO cells grown in DMEM under adherent conditions (called TDA in GSE26517 and epithelial bulk in GSE21451), TUBO cells grown in mammosphere medium under adherent conditions (called TMA in GSE26517), TUBO cells grown in mammosphere medium under low-attachment conditions (called mammospheres p1 in GSE21451), i.e. the conditions used to support the formation of mammospheres. This analysis led to the identification of growth factors and immune system-related genes, including toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). The inhibition of TLR2 signaling pathway strongly impaired mammosphere generation, demonstrating the involvement of TLR2 in CSC self-renewal. We profiled on MouseWG?6 v2.0 Illumina beadchips two independent experiments: ADHERENT (GSE26517) made by the comparison between TDA and TMA and SOSPENSION (part of GSE21451) made by the comparison between epithelial bulk and mammospheres p1. Mammosphere medium contains epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) that may influence transcript expression in a way not necessarily related to the assembly of mammospheres. Therefore, following normalization and removal of those transcripts not expressed and not changing, we used the Integrative Correlation coefficient (IC, Parmigiani et al. Clin Cancer Res 2004, 10:2922–2927) as filter to remove genes only associate to growth factors present in the mammosphere medium under adherent growth conditions, i.e IC > 0.1. Differential gene expression was then assessed by regularized t?test (Smyth GK. Stat Appl Genet Mol Biol 2004, 3:Article3) comparing mammospheres p1 with respect to epithelial bulk, using an uncorrected p-value ? 0.05, together with an absolute log2 fold change threshold ?1.
