Integrated single cell analysis in transformed follicular lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Histological transformation of follicular lymphoma to aggressive form occurs 2-3% per year with poor outcome. Divergent evolution and an altered tumour-microenvironment (TME) have been implicated during transformation. However, phenotypic consequences of this evolution and its implication in TME remain unknown. To address this, we performed single cell whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing of paired pre/post transformation patient samples. We further performed scWTS of additional samples from patients without transformation. Our analysis revealed evolutionary dynamics of transformation at unprecedented resolution. Integration of scWGS and scWTS identified pathways upregulated during evolution. scWTS analysis revealed a shifting TME landscape, with an exhausted signature emerging during transformation. Using multi-color immunofluorescence we transferred these findings to a TME-based transformation biomarker, subsequently validated in independent pretreatment cohorts. Taken together, our results provide a comprehensive view of the combined genomic and phenotypic evolution of malignant cells during transformation, and shifting cross-talk between malignant cells and TME.

Rapid evolution of phenotypic plasticity and shifting thresholds of genetic assimilation in the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei

Project description:Many organisms can acclimate to new environments through phenotypic plasticity, a complex trait that can be heritable, subject to selection, and evolve. However, the rate and genetic basis of plasticity evolution remain largely unknown. We experimentally evolved outbred populations of the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei under an acute heat shock during early larval development. When raised in a non-stressful environment, ancestral populations were highly sensitive to a 36.8Â°C heat shock and exhibited high mortality. However, initial exposure to a non-lethal high temperature environment resulted in significantly reduced mortality during heat shock (hormesis). Lines selected for heat shock resistance rapidly evolved the capacity to withstand heat shock in the native environment without any initial exposure to high temperatures, and early exposure to high temperatures did not lead to further increases in heat resistance. This loss of plasticity would appear to have resulted from the genetic assimilation of the heat induction response in the non-inducing environment. However, analyses of transcriptional variation via RNA-sequencing from the selected populations revealed no global changes in gene regulation correlated with the observed changes in heat stress resistance. Instead, assays of the phenotypic response across a broader range of temperatures revealed that the induced plasticity was not fixed across environments, but rather the threshold for the response was shifted to higher temperatures over evolutionary time. These results demonstrate that apparent genetic assimilation can result from shifting thresholds of induction across environments and that analysis of the broader environmental context is critically important for understanding the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. mRNA profiles of ancestral and two experimentally evolved populations of C. remanei at 20Â°C or 30Â°C, 6 replicates/temperature for each population

Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Key Components of Tumor Microenvironment for Extranodal Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma

Project description:Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is an aggressive Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoma with heterogeneous tumor behaviors and clinical outcomes. Here, we profiled tumor microenvironment (TME) of NKTCL through single-cell transcriptome analysis of 137,304 cells from 10 tumor-blood pairs. We identified six malignant subtypes with diverse transcriptional signatures, among which LMP1+ NK_C9_CXCL13 was characterized with oncogenic and immunosuppressive potentials as well as an axial role in malignant transformation. Moreover, ligand-receptor analyses and multiplex immunofluorescent staining assays revealed intensive interactions among malignant NK, tumoral myeloid, and T cells, fostering immunosuppressive TME in NKTCL. Furthermore, co-culture assays revealed that malignant cells induced the development of immunosuppressive and pro-tumorigenic tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) through high expression of CSF1 and hampered the recruitment of normal NK cells through broad secretion of a dipeptidylpeptidase DPP4 in NKTCL. Lastly, we revealed the inter-patient heterogeneity of NKTCL with distinct EBV transcription and TAM infiltration in multiple patient cohorts, of which high and low were favorable prognostic indicators for NKTCL patients, respectively. Collectively, for the first time to our knowledge, our study dissects the heterogeneous composition of NKTCL TME at single-cell resolution, which provides insights into understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of NKTCL and developing novel therapeutic strategies against NKTCL.

Mechanisms of drugs-resistance in small cell lung cancer II

Project description:Malignant transformation of SCLC often occurs simultaneously with the acquisition of chemotherapy resistance, suggesting that phenotypic malignant transformation is associated with adaptation to chemotherapy-induced stress. Recently, it has been reported that autophagy deficiency is involved in chemotherapy resistance in SCLC. To analyze gene expression changes associated with SCLC malignant transformation, we established ATG7 knockout and ATG7/SQSTM1 double knockout SCLC cell lines and performed RNA sequencing.

Transcription profiling by array of human Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor samples to asses the intra-tumoral heterogeneity at the gene expression level

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly heterogeneous disease that shows an enourmous range of genetic abnormalities in comparison to other astrocytic tumors. Intra-patient heterogeneity in GBM has been poorly characterized both at phenotypic and genomic level. During surgical GBM resections, we have extracted between 4 and 8 tumor subsamples from different areas of the malignant tissue that were at least 1cm apart. Our aim to asses the intra-tumoral heterogeneity at the gene expression level to uncover important dynamics underlying GBM progression that may have relevant implication for treatment.

Immunomodulation of T helper cells by tumour microenvironment in oral cancer is associated with rapid membrane-associated Vitamin D signalling pathway

Project description:The immune system plays a key role in the protective response against oral cancer, however the tumour microenvironment (TME) is able to impair this anti-cancer response by modulating T helper (Th) responses and promoting an anti-inflammatory environment. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th2 effector cells (Teff) have been associated with bad prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), however it is unknown the main chemoattractant or immunomodulatory mechanisms associated with the enrichment of these subsets in OSCC. We characterised T helper-like lineages in Teff and Tregs and evaluated the main immunomodulatory changes induced by the TME in OSCC. Our phenotypic data revealed a higher distribution of tumour-infiltrating CCR8+ and Th2-like Treg in OSCC in comparison with non-malignant samples, whereas the percentages of Th1 cells were reduced in cancer. We then analysed the presence of CCR8 ligands and the chemoattractant effect of tumour secretomes, however despite observing higher presence of CCR8 ligand CCL18, we only observed reduced migration of Teff to tumour secretomes. The direct effect of the TME was then analysed by exposing T cell subsets to cancer secretomes and we observed that the TME induced higher expression of CCR8 and immunomodulatory molecules on both subsets. Finally, the proteomic analysis of the TME suggests that these changes were associated with the rapid membrane-associated vitamin D signalling pathway. In summary, the TME from OSCC promotes immunomodulatory changes by regulating CCR8 expression and disbalancing the Th1/Th2 repertoire.

Single-cell Transcriptomics Dissects Premalignant Progression in Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia

Project description:Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a potentially malignant disorder characterized by contiguous spread, a spectrum of clinicopathological features and high malignant transformation risk. Despite many efforts to describe the clinicopathological features of PVL progression, so far, there is still a lack of knowledge on the dynamic changes in molecular signature during this process. Hence, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to 3 biopsy samples from a large PVL lesion. These samples exhibited the histopathological continuum of PVL lesions progression. By analysis for transcriptome profiling of 27,611 cells from these samples, we identified 10 major cell lineages and revealed the cellular remodeling occurring in the progression of PVL lesions, including epithelial, stromal and immune cells. The epithelial cells are shifted to pro-tumorigenic transcriptional cell states and secretory patterns at premalignant stage. Immune cells showed growing immunosuppressive phenotypes during PVL progression. Remarkably, two novel cell subtypes INSR+ endothelial cells and ASPN+ fibroblasts were discovered and may play a vital role in microenvironment remodeling, such as angiogenesis and stromal fibrosis, closely involved in the malignant transformation. Our work preliminarily describes the dynamic molecular properties of PVL lesions, enhances the systematic understanding of the premalignant evolution of PVL and attempts to provide the framework for future research.
