Project description:We established direct three-dimensional (3D) co-cultures of primary PDAC organoids and patient-matched CAFs. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed for three organoid/CAF pairs in mono- and co-culture to uncover transcriptional changes induced by tumor-stroma interaction. Single-cell RNA sequencing data evidenced induction of a pro-inflammatory phenotype in CAFs in co-cultures. Organoids showed increased expression of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in co-cultures and several potential receptor-ligand interactions related to EMT were identified, supporting a key role of CAF-driven induction of EMT in PDAC chemoresistance.

Project description:Patient derived organoids (PDOs) have been established as a 3D culture model which closely recapitulates the in vivo tumor biology. However, one limitation of this culture model is the lack of tumor microenvironment which has a significant role in tumor progression and drug response. To address this, we established and molecularly characterized a novel 3D co-culture model of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on PDOs and patient matched fibroblasts. Both normal and cancer associated fibroblasts, NFs and CAFs respectively, were able to support organoid growth without addition of niche factors to the media. Additionally, co-cultures showed closer resemblance to primary patient material than organoid mono-cultures as evaluated by histology. Finally, RNA gene expression signatures of tumor cells and fibroblasts isolated from mono- or co-cultures demonstrated that co-cultures support greater cell type heterogeneity. In this proteomics dataset we compared pairs of NFs and CAFs derived from five patients. Collectively, we present a newly established human derived organoid-fibroblast model which, closely recapitulates in vivo tumor heterogeneity and involves the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:With a five-year survival rate of 9%, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) the deadliest of all cancers. The rapid mortality makes PDAC difficult to research, and inspires a resolve to create reliable, tractable cellular models for preclinical cancer research. PDAC organoids are increasing used to model PDAC as they maintain the differentiation status, molecular and genomic signatures of the original tumour. In this paper, we present novel methodologies and experimental approaches to develop PDAC organoids from PDX tumours, and the simultaneous development of matched primary cell lines. Moreover, we also identify a method of recapitulating primary cell line cultures to organoids (CLOs). We highlight the usefulness of CLOs as PDAC organoid models, as they maintain similar transcriptomic signatures as their matched patient-derived organoids and PDXs. These models provide a manageable, expandable in vitro resource for downstream applications such as high throughput screening, functional genomics, and tumour microenvironment studies.

Project description:RNA-sequencing of flow-sorted Smad4 wild-type (WT) or Smad4 knockout (KO) KvPC (i.e. KRASG12V; p53 mutant) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) organoids from monocultures or co-cultures with pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) and RNA-sequencing of flow-sorted PSCs from the same co-cultures. We investigated changes in transcriptome in Smad4 KO KvPC PDAC organoids compared to Smad4 WT KvPC PDAC organoids in monoculture or in co-culture with PSCs. We also investigated the changes in transcriptome in PSCs co-cultured with Smad4 WT or Smad4 KO KvPC PDAC organoids.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment enriched with cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). This study provides a convergence approach to identify tumor cell and CAF interactions through the integration of single-cell data from human tumors with human organoid co-culture. Analysis of a comprehensive atlas of PDAC single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data associates CAF density with increased inflammation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in epithelial cells. Transfer learning to transcriptional data from patient-derived organoid and CAF co-cultures provides in silico validation of CAF induction of inflammatory and EMT epithelial cell states. Further experimental validation in co-cultures demonstrates integrin beta 1 (ITGB1) and vascular endothelial factor A (VEGF-A) interactions with Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) mediating CAF and epithelial crosstalk. This study introduces transfer learning from human single-cell data to organoid co-culture for experimental validation of discoveries of cell-cell crosstalk, and identifies fibroblast-mediated regulation of EMT and inflammation.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by abundant stroma in which microenvironmental (niche) factors promote PDAC progression. In mouse models, reduction of the stroma increased the proportion of poorly differentiated PDAC with a worse prognosis. Here, we aimed to clarify the effects of stroma on PDAC that may define the PDAC phenotype and induce distinct therapeutic responses. METHODS: The molecular features of PDAC based on differentiation grade were clarified by genome and transcriptome analysis using PDAC organoids (PDOs). We identified the dependency on niche factors that might regulate the differentiation grade. A three-dimensional co-culture model with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) was generated to determine whether CAFs provide niche factors essential for differentiated PDAC. PDOs were subtyped based on niche factor dependency, and the therapeutic responses for each subtype were compared. RESULTS: The expression profiles of PDOs differed depending on the differentiation grade. Consistent with the distinct profiles, well differentiated types showed high niche dependency, while poorly differentiated types showed low niche dependency. The three-dimensional co-culture model revealed that well differentiated PDOs were strongly dependent on CAFs for growth, and moderately differentiated PDOs showed plasticity to change morphology depending on CAFs. Differentiated PDOs upregulated the expression of mevalonate pathway-related genes correlated with the niche dependency and were significantly more sensitive to simvastatin than poorly differentiated PDOs. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that CAFs maintain the differentiated PDAC phenotype through secreting niche factors and induce distinct drug responses. These results may lead to the development of novel subtype-based therapeutic strategies.

Project description:In this study colorectal cancer (CRC) patient-derived cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and primary monocytes or macrophages were co-cultured in 2D set-up and single-cell transcriptomics was employed to analyze the phenotypic and functional changes of the myeloid cells and CAFs upon their interaction. The results showed that CAFs instruct monocytes to gain a tumor-associated macropages (TAM)-like cells phenotype. In the next step, novel next generation tumor organoid cultures of myelid cells, CAFs and patient-derived CRC organoids (PDOs) were utilized to mimic the tumor microenvironment and study the phenotypic changes of cells under chemotherapy and oncolytic virus treatments. The sequencing data revealed that both treatments triggered distinct phenotypic changes and identified immunomodulatory effects of chemotherapy in TAM-like cells. Oncolytic virus treatment led to strong upregulation of Type I and II interferon signaling, while both therapies activated multiple cell-cell communication pathways, highlighting key molecular interactions relevant to the tumor microenvironment. This co-culture model provided insights into TAM-like responses, aiding precision cancer treatment evaluations.
