Resolving the immune landscape of human prostate at a single cell level in health and cancer

ABSTRACT: The prostate gland produces prostatic fluid, high in zinc and citrate and essential for the maintenance of spermatozoa. Prostate cancer is a common condition with limited treatment efficacy in castration-resistant metastatic disease, including with immune checkpoint inhibitors. We used single-cell RNA-sequencing to perform an unbiased assessment of the cellular landscape of human prostate and identified a previously unappreciated subset of tumour-enriched androgen receptor-negative luminal epithelial cells, with increased expression of cancer-associated genes. We also found a variety of innate and adaptive immune cells in normal prostate that were transcriptionally perturbed in prostate cancer. An exception was a unique, prostate-specific, zinc transporter-expressing macrophage population (MAC-MT), that contributed to tissue zinc accumulation in homeostasis, but showed enhanced inflammatory gene expression in tumours, including T cell-recruiting chemokines. Remarkably, enrichment of the MAC-MT signature in cancer biopsies was associated with improved disease-free survival, suggesting beneficial anti-tumour functions.

Long-term zinc-treated human prostate cancer cells, LC-MS

Project description:Failure in intracellular zinc accumulation is a key process in prostate cancerogenesis. Although prostate cancer cells can accumulate zinc after long-term exposure, chronic zinc oversupply may accelerate prostate carcinogenesis or chemoresistance. As a model of prostate cancerogenesis, long-term zinc-treated (zinc accumulating) cell lines 22Rv1, and PC-3 were used. In this dataset we investigated how long-term zinc treatment is associated with changes of cell proteome in these cells as determined by LC-MS. Preparation of long-term zinc-treated cells is described in Holubova et al., 2014, and Raudenska et al, 2019.

Transcription profiling by array of human MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Project description:Estrogen-responsive genes were identified by transcript profiling of estrogen-treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The gene expression profile generated after estrogen treatment was compared with that following inducible expression of c-Myc or c-Zip (a deletion mutant of c-Myc that lacks the N-terminal transactivation domains) in clonal MCF-7 cell lines. Experiment Overall Design: RNA was collected in three independent experiments, each including parental MCF-7 cells treated with 17b-estradiol (E2) or ethanol (EtOH), zinc-treated p-delta-MT-c-Myc cells, zinc-treated p-delta-MT-c-Zip cells and zinc-treated empty vector (p-delta-MT) cells. Cells were arrested for 48 h with 10 nM ICI 182780 and then treated for 6 h with either 100 nM E2 or ethanol vehicle, or 75 mM zinc for the stably transfected cell lines.

Mitochondrial signals mediate paternal effects on offspring metabolism (small RNA-Seq)

Project description:Spermatozoa deliver a complex and environment sensitive pool of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNA) to the oocyte at fertilisation, which influences offspring development and adult phenotypic trajectories. Whether mature spermatozoa in the epididymis can directly sense the environment is still not fully understood. Here, we used two distinct paradigms of preconception acute High Fat Diet challenge to dissect epididymal vs spermatogenic contributions to the sperm sncRNA pool and offspring health. We show that epididymal spermatozoa, but not developing germ cells, are sensitive to the environment and identify mitochondrial tRNA fragments as sperm-born sensors. In human spermatozoa, we found mt-tsRNAs in linear association with BMI and showed that paternal overweight at conception is sufficient to double offspring obesity risk and compromise metabolic health. Using mouse genetics and metabolic phenotypic data, we show that alterations of mt-tsRNAs are downstream of mitochondrial dysfunction in mice. Most importantly, single embryo transcriptomics of genetically hybrid two-cell embryos demonstrated sperm-to-oocyte transfer of mt-tsRNAs at fertilisation and implied them in the control of early embryo metabolism. Our study supports the importance of paternal health at conception for offspring metabolism, propose mt-tsRNAs as sperm-born environmental effectors of paternal inheritance and demonstrate, for the first time in a physiological and unperturbed setting, father-to-offspring transfer of sperm mt-tsRNAs at fertilisation.

Epigenetic inheritance of diet-induced and sperm-borne mitochondrial RNAs

Project description:Spermatozoa harbor a complex and environment sensitive pool of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNA)1, which influences offspring development and adult phenotypes1-7. Whether spermatozoa in the epididymis are directly susceptible to environmental cues is not fully understood8. We used two distinct paradigms of preconception acute high fat diet to dissect epididymal vs testicular contributions to the sperm sncRNA pool and offspring health. We show that epididymal spermatozoa, but not developing germ cells, are sensitive to the environment and identify mitochondrial tRNAs and their fragments (mt-tsRNA) as sperm-borne factors. In humans, mt-tsRNAs in spermatozoa correlate with BMI and paternal overweight at conception doubles offspring obesity risk and compromises metabolic health. Sperm sncRNA-seq of mice mutant for genes involved in mitochondrial function, and metabolic phenotyping of their wild-type offspring, suggest that alterations of mt-tsRNAs are downstream of mitochondrial dysfunction. Most importantly, single embryo transcriptomics of genetically hybrid two-cell embryos demonstrated sperm-to-oocyte transfer of mt-tRNAs at fertilisation and implied them in the control of early embryo transcription. Our study supports the importance of paternal health at conception for offspring metabolism, shows that mt-tRNAs are diet-induced and sperm-borne and demonstrates, for the first time in a physiological setting, father-to-offspring transfer of sperm mitochondrial RNAs at fertilization.

Gene expression in IL-10-deficient and wild-type mice following Citrobacter rodentium infection

Project description:To further understand immune mechanims involved in regulating intestinal inflammation, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential of regulating inflammation in the absence of IL-10. Whole colon tissue from IL-10-deficient and C57BL/6 (wild-type) mice was collected 2 weeks after Citrobacter rodentium infection and from uninfected controls. Consistent with the histological and cellular analysis, expression levels of many chemokines and cytokines involved in recruiting leukocytes and promoting inflammation were, on average, lower in IL-10 deficient compared to wild-type mice after infection. An exception to this general trend was IL-27, a cytokine with both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties. Two weeks after Citrobacter rodentium challenge, total RNA was extracted and analyzed from whole colon tissue of infected IL-10-deficient and wild-type mice, and compared to uninfected controls. Each sample contained equal amounts of total RNA from 4-5 female mice which were pooled and used in the experiment.
