Project description:We assessed the pluripotency of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) maintained on an automated platform using StemFlexTM and TeSRTM-E8TM media. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing was performed for 20,962 cells from two cell lines grown in the two media. Analysis of transcriptomic profile revealed similar expression of core pluripotency genes, as well as genes associated with naive and primed states of pluripotency. Single cell analysis of the four samples revealed a shared subpopulation structure with three main subpopulations different in pluripotency states. By implementing a machine learning approach, we estimated that 60-96% of the cells in the ground/naive subpopulations and 98-99% of the cells in the primed subpopulations are similar between all four samples. The single cell RNA sequencing analysis of iPSC lines grown in both media is the first report of the molecular pathways modulated in StemFlex medium and how they compare to those modulated in TeSR-E8 medium.

Project description:Breast cancer stem cells are considered estrogen receptor negative and estrogen insensitive. However, estrogens potentiate growth of the vast majority of breast tumors. In this study, we characterize the expression of estrogen receptors in breast cancer stem cells. We used microarrays to characterize the global gene expression underlying estrogen receptor activation versus inhibition in breast cancer cells from invasive breast cancers. Cancer cells from invasive breast carcinomas are treated with D (DPN), T (4OHT) or untreated (vehicle control).

Project description:To characterize the global transcriptome of human keratinocyte stem cells (KSC) and keratinocyte progenitors (KP), primary basal keratinocyte subpopulations enriched in quiescent stem cells [Itg-α6bright / Trf-Rdim] or in cycling progenitors [Itg-α6bright / Trf-Rbright] were purified by flow cytometry from human skin samples. Sorted keratinocytes were then seeded in culture plates and maintained in culture medium overnight (15 hours), and genome-wide transcriptome analysis of these two subpopulations was directly performed, in order to globally maintain the initial phenotypes. After RNA preparation, gene profiling was performed using oligonucleotide microarrays (26068 probes). LOWESS normalisation was applied.

Project description:The cells that form the arterial wall contribute to multiple vascular diseases. The extent of cellular heterogeneity within these populations has not been fully characterized. Recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing make it possible to identify and characterize cellular subpopulations. Clustering analysis of gene expression from aortic cells identified 10 populations of cells representing each of the main arterial cell types: fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells (ECs), and immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes. The most significant cellular heterogeneity was seen in the 3 distinct EC populations. Gene set enrichment analysis of these EC subpopulations identified a lymphatic EC cluster and 2 other populations more specialized in lipoprotein handling, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix production. These subpopulations persist and exhibit similar changes in gene expression in response to a Western diet. Immunofluorescence for Vcam1 and Cd36 demonstrates regional heterogeneity in EC populations throughout the aorta. We present a comprehensive single-cell atlas of all cells in the aorta. By integrating expression from >1900 genes per cell, we are better able to characterize cellular heterogeneity compared with conventional approaches. Gene expression signatures identify cell subpopulations with vascular disease-relevant functions.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells can differentiate in vitro into spontaneously contracting cardiomyocytes. The main objective of this study was to investigate cardiogenesis in cultures of differentiating embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and to determine how closely it mimics in vivo cardiac development. We identified and isolated a population of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) through the use of a reporter DNA construct that allowed the expression of a selectable marker under the control of the Nkx2.5 enhancer. We proceeded to characterize these CPCs by examining their capacity to differentiate into cardiomyocytes and to proliferate. We then performed a large-scale temporal microarray expression analysis in order to identify genes that are uniquely upregulated or downregulated in the CPC population. We determined that the transcriptional profile of the mESC derived CPCs was consistent with pathways known to be active during embryonic cardiac development. We conclude that in vitro differentiation of mESCs recapitulates the early steps of mouse cardiac development. Keywords: embryonic stem cell, differentiation, cardiac progenitor, cardiogenesis

Project description:Summary: Melanoma spheroids grown under neural crest cell conditions are highly plastic migratory/invasive tumor cells endowed with immunomodulator function Background: The aggressiveness of melanoma tumors is likely to rely on their well-recognized heterogeneity and plasticity. Melanoma comprises multi subpopulations of cancer cells some of which may possess stem cell-like properties supporting the notion of plasticity. Although useful for certain tumors, the use of the sphere-formation assay to identify stem cell-like or tumor initiating cells subpopulations in human melanoma has been recently challenged. Our study reveals that this assay predicts a functional phenotype associated with aggressive behavior of tumor cells. Methodology/Principal Findings: We analyzed the molecular and functional phenotypes of melanoma spheroids formed in neural crest cell medium. Whether from metastatic (SLM8) or advanced primary (Mela1) tumors, spheroid cells expressed melanoma-associated markers. They displayed higher capacity to differentiate along mesenchymal lineages, and showed enhanced expression of SOX2, NANOG, KLF4, and/or OCT4 transcription factors, but not extensive self-renewal or enhanced tumorigenicity when compared to their adherent counterparts. To determine whether melanoma spheroids in our model could predict a molecular or functional phenotype, we performed gene expression profiling experiments using Affymetrix microarrays. Gene expression profiling attributed a neural crest cell signature to these spheroids and indicated that a migratory/invasive and immune-function modulating program could be associated with these cells. In vitro assays confirmed that these spheroids are endowed with enhanced migratory/invasive capacities. In immune activation assays, spheroid cells elicited a poorer allogenic response from immune cells and inhibited mitogen-dependent T cells activation and proliferation more efficiently than their adherent counterparts. Thus, our findings reveal novel immune-modulator function of melanoma spheroid cells and suggest specific roles for these spheroids in invasion and in evasion of antitumor immunity. Conclusion/Significance: The association of a more plastic, invasive and evasive, thus a more aggressive tumor phenotype with melanoma spheroid cells reveals a previously unrecognized aspect of tumor cells expanded as spheroid cultures. While of limited efficiency for melanoma initiating cell identification, our melanoma spheroid model predicted aggressive phenotype and could therefore, be constructive to investigate melanoma aggressiveness, relevant to patients and clinical transferability. 12 Total samples were analyzed: SLM8 adherent (SLMA) and spheroids (SLMS) cells, and Mela1 adherent (MelaA) and spheroid (MelaS) cells, all performed in triplicates. Paired statistical analyses were performed using Student's paired t-test on the gene signal intensities (gene level) and results were considered statistically significant at p-values <=0.05 and fold-change >=1.5.

Project description:Numerous studies have been conducted to improve the supply of myogenic stem cells for patients with muscle disease, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Collecting muscle samples from patients in order to obtain myoblasts or satellite cells is very invasive. Thus, a new method for obtaining myogenic stem cells is required. Here, we established stably expandable induced myogenic stem cells (iMSCs) with defined factors. The iMSCs showed high expression levels of Pax7, Myf5, and MyoD. Also, the iMSCs differentiate into myotubes which are multinucleated fiber. Additionally, the iMSCs differentiated into myotubes, which are multinucleated fibers. We confirmed its myogenic differentiation capacity in mdx mice by detecting dystrophin-positive cells in iMSCs-injected TA muscles. The iMSCs showed higher proliferation capacity than MDSCs in both in vitro and vivo. This study suggests the possibility to apply directly converted expandable myogenic stem cells to muscle disease patients.
