Project description:Aim: To determine the miRNA expression profile of SCLC cell lines vs. normal lung tissue. Keywords: disease state analysis Total RNA isolated from SCLC cell lines H69, HTB-172, HTB-173 and HTB-184 were compared to a mixed RNA sample derived from 6 normal lung tissue samples (fresh surgical material), from 6 tumor-free patients. The same reference sample (normal lung) was used on all 4 microarrays.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme are an aggressive form of brain tumors that are characterized by distinct invasion of single glioblastoma cells, which infiltrate the brain parenchyma. This appears to be stimulated by the communication between cancer and stromal cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are part of the glioblastoma microenvironment, and their 'cross-talk' with glioblastoma cells is still poorly understood. Here, we examined the effects of bone marrow-derived MSCs on two different established glioblastoma cell lines U87 and U373. We focused on mutual effects of direct MSC/glioblastoma contact on cellular invasion in three-dimensional invasion assays in vitro and in a zebrafish embryo model in vivo. This is the first demonstration of glioblastoma cell-type-specific responses to MSCs in direct glioblastoma co-cultures, where MSCs inhibited the invasion of U87 cells and enhanced the invasion of U373. Inversely, direct cross-talk between MSCs and both of glioblastoma cell lines enhanced MSC motility. MSC-enhanced invasion of U373 cells was assisted by overexpression of proteases cathepsin B, calpain1, uPA/uPAR, MMP-2, -9 and -14, and increased activities of some of these proteases, as determined by the effects of their selective inhibitors on invasion. In contrast, these proteases had no effect on U87 cell invasion under MSC co-culturing. Finally, we identified differentially expressed genes, in U87 and U373 cells that could explain different response of these cell lines to MSCs. In conclusion, we demonstrated that MSC/glioblastoma cross-talk is different in the two glioblastoma cell phenotypes, which contributes to tumor heterogeneity.

Project description:In contrast to most non-malignant tissue, cells comprising the brain tumour glioblastoma (GBM) preferentially utilise glycolysis for metabolism via "the Warburg effect". Research into therapeutics targeting the disease's highly glycolytic state offer a promising avenue to improve patient survival. These studies often employ GBM cell lines for in vitro studies which translate poorly to the in vivo patient context. The metabolic traits of five of the most used GBM cell lines were assessed and compared to primary GBM and matched, healthy brain tissue. In patient-derived GBM cell lines, the basal mitochondrial rate (p = 0.043) and ATP-linked respiration (p < 0.001) were lower than primary adjacent normal cells from the same patient, while reserve capacity (p = 0.037) and Krebs cycle capacity (p = 0.002) were higher. Three cell lines, U251MG, U373MG and D54, replicate the mitochondrial metabolism of primary GBM cells. Surprisingly, glycolytic capacity is not different between healthy and GBM tissue. The T98G cell line recapitulated glycolysis-related metabolic parameters of the primary GBM cells and is recommended for research relating to glycolysis. These findings can guide preclinical research into the development of novel therapeutics targeting metabolic pathways in GBM.

Project description:Cell lines are used in experimental investigation of cancer but their capacity to represent tumor cells has yet to be quantified. The aim of the study was to identify significant alterations in pathway usage in cell lines in comparison with normal and tumor tissue.This study utilized a pathway-specific enrichment analysis of publicly accessible microarray data and quantified the gene expression differences between cell lines, tumor, and normal tissue cells for six different tissue types. KEGG pathways that are significantly different between cell lines and tumors, cell lines and normal tissues and tumor and normal tissue were identified through enrichment tests on gene lists obtained using Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM).Cellular pathways that were significantly upregulated in cell lines compared to tumor cells and normal cells of the same tissue type included ATP synthesis, cell communication, cell cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, purine, pyrimidine and pyruvate metabolism, and proteasome. Results on metabolic pathways suggested an increase in the velocity nucleotide metabolism and RNA production. Pathways that were downregulated in cell lines compared to tumor and normal tissue included cell communication, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and ECM-receptor interaction. Only a fraction of the significantly altered genes in tumor-to-normal comparison had similar expressions in cancer cell lines and tumor cells. These genes were tissue-specific and were distributed sparsely among multiple pathways.Significantly altered genes in tumors compared to normal tissue were largely tissue specific. Among these genes downregulation was a major trend. In contrast, cell lines contained large sets of significantly upregulated genes that were common to multiple tissue types. Pathway upregulation in cell lines was most pronounced over metabolic pathways including cell nucleotide metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. Signaling pathways involved in adhesion and communication of cultured cancer cells were downregulated. The three way pathways comparison presented in this study brings light into the differences in the use of cellular pathways by tumor cells and cancer cell lines.

Project description:Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor with poor prognosis that rapidly acquires resistance to available clinical treatments. The herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSVtk/GCV) system produces the selective elimination of HSVtk-positive cells and is a candidate for preclinical testing against glioblastoma via its ability to regulate proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to establish a plasmid encoding the HSVtk/GCV system driven by a glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter and verify its possibility of neural differentiation of glioblastoma cell line under the GCV challenge. Four stable clones-N2A-pCMV-HSVtk, N2A-pGFAP-HSVtk, U251-pCMV-HSVtk, and U251-pGFAP-HSVtk-were established from neuronal N2A and glioblastoma U251 cell lines. In vitro GCV sensitivity was assessed by MTT assay for monitoring time- and dosage-dependent cytotoxicity. The capability for neural differentiation in stable glioblastoma clones during GCV treatment was assessed by performing immunocytochemistry for nestin, GFAP, and βIII-tubulin. Under GFAP promoter control, the U251 stable clone exhibited GCV sensitivity, while the neuronal N2A clones were nonreactive. During GCV treatment, cells underwent apoptosis on day 3 and dying cells were identified after day 5. Nestin was increasingly expressed in surviving cells, indicating that the population of neural stem-like cells was enriched. Lower levels of GFAP expression were detected in surviving cells. Furthermore, βIII-tubulin-positive neuron-like cells were identified after GCV treatment. This study established pGFAP-HSVtk-P2A-EGFP plasmids that successfully ablated GFAP-positive glioblastoma cells, but left neuronal N2A cells intact. These data suggest that the neural differentiation of glioblastoma cells can be promoted by treatment with the HSVtk/GCV system.

Project description:The relationship between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and glioblastoma (GBM) is an ongoing debate with extensive evidence supporting or refuting its existence through molecular assays, pre-clinical studies, and clinical trials. We focus primarily on the crux of the debate, detection of HCMV in GBM samples using molecular assays. We propose that these differences in detection could be affected by cellular heterogeneity. To take this into account, we align the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reads from five GBM tumors and two cell lines to HCMV and analyze the alignments for evidence of (i) complete viral transcripts and (ii) low-abundance viral reads. We found that neither tumor nor cell line samples showed conclusive evidence of full HCMV viral transcripts. We also identified low-abundance reads aligned across all tumors, with two tumors having higher alignment rates than the rest of the tumor samples. This work is meant to rigorously test for HCMV RNA expression at a single cell level in GBM samples and examine the possible utility of single cell data in tumor virology.

Project description:Expression profiling of 29 untreated breast cancer cell lines using Agilent 4x44K V1 (G4112F) dual color oligonucleotide microarrays The primary study objective was to establish a research resource for comparative transcriptomic analysis of a series of commercially available breast cancer cell lines representative of diverse histopathologic and molecular subtypes, generated on the Agilent oligonucleotide platform. A specific study objective was to perform a comparative transcriptional analysis of three cell lines established from a patient with triple negative metaplastic inflammatory breast cancer developed by Drs. Felding Habermann and Smider at the Scripps Research Institute, San Diego, CA. Cancer Res 2011;71(24 Suppl):Abstract nr PD03-07. Commercial cell lines were cultured in replete media using manufacturer-recommended conditions and harvested during exponential growth phase using TRIzol Reagent. Total RNA was prepared from each cell line and a pooled reference was generated containing an equimolar concentration of RNA from all cell lines. Individual cell lines were differentially labeled relative to the reference pool and hybridized to Agilent Commercial V1 4x44K oligonucleotide microarrays.
