Project description:Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a high-grade malignant neoplasm characterized by biphasic growth of poorly differentiated small round cells and well differentiated cartilage. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma affects adolescents and young adults, and the HEY1-NCOA2 fusion gene is causally associated with most cases. Here we generate a mouse model for mesenchymal chondrosarcoma by introducing HEY1-NCOA2 into mouse embryonic chondrogenic progenitors (eSZ) followed by subcutaneous transplantation into nude mice. HEY1-NCOA2 expression in eSZ cells successfully induced subcutaneous tumors in 68.9% of recipients, showing biphasic morphologies and expression of Sox9, a master regulator of chondrogenic differentiation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analyses indicated frequent association between HEY1-NCOA2-binding peaks and active enhancers. Runx2 that is important for differentiation and proliferation of the chondrocytic lineage is invariably expressed in mouse mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, and interaction between HEY1-NCOA2 and Runx2 is observed using NCOA2 C-terminal domains. Whereas Runx2 knockout resulted in significant delay in tumor onset, aggressive growth of immature small round cells was induced. Treatment with the HDAC inhibitor panobinostat suppressed tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, abrogating expression of genes downstream of HEY1-NCOA2 and Runx2. Thus, HEY1-NCOA2 expression induces malignant transformation by modulating the transcriptional program in chondrogenic differentiation.

HEY1-NCOA2 expression successfully induced subcutaneous tumors in 68.9% of recipients, showing biphasic morphologies and expression of Sox9, a master regulator of chondrogenic differentiation, typical to human mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses indicated frequent inclusion of the RUNX DNA consensus sequences within HEY1-NCOA2-binding peaks. Runx2 that is important for differentiation and proliferation of the chondrocytic lineage is invariably expressed in mouse mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, and interaction between HEY1-NCOA2 and Runx2 is observed using NCOA2 C-terminal domains. This interaction promotes repression of Runx2 target genes such as Adamts4 and Mmp13 to suppress chondrocytic differentiation and cell growth of tumors, and treatment with the HDAC inhibitor Panobinostat abrogates the repression activity of HEY1-NCOA2 and Runx2 to inhibit tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. These results demonstrate that HEY1-NCOA2 expression induces malignant transformation of chondrogenic progenitors by modulating the RUNX2-regulated transcriptional program. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in mouse mesenchymal chondrosarcoma

Project description:There are a few markers available to distinguish hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), portal fibroblasts (PFs), and mesothelial cells (MCs) in the adult mouse liver. To identify genes uniquely expressed in these cells, we isolated HSCs having Vitamin A lipids by FACS based on their autofluorescence. We isolated a mixed population containing PFs and MCs as Vitamin A lipid-negative and GFP-positive cells by FACS from Collagen1a1 promoter-driven GFP transgenic mice. MCs were isolated by FACS using anti-GPM6A antibodies from adult mouse livers. PFs were isolated by FACS as Vitamin A lipid-negative, GFP-positive, and GPM6A-negative cells. We also isolated HSCs, MCs, and PFs from Collagen1a1 promoter-driven GFP transgenic mouse livers having biliary fibrosis by FACS. Biliary fibrosis was induced by bile duct ligation for 3 weeks. Sham operation was performed as a control. After separation of these cells, we isolated total RNAs and analyzed mRNA expression by microarray analysis. Total RNA was extracted with RNAqueous Micro (Ambion) and the probes for the microarray were synthesized using the Ovation RNA amplification system V2 and FL-Ovation cDNA Biotin module V2 (Nugen). The labeled probes were hybridized with GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix) and signals were analyzed with Genomic Suite software (Partek).

Project description:Despite their emerging relevance to fully understand disease pathogenesis, we have as yet a poor understanding as to how biomechanical signals are integrated with specific biochemical pathways to determine cell behaviour. Mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT) markers colocalized with TGF-beta1-dependent signalling and yes-associated protein (YAP) activation across biopsies from different pathologies exhibiting peritoneal fibrosis, supporting mechanotransduction as a central driving component of these class of fibrotic lesions and its crosstalk with specific signaling pathways. Transcriptome and proteome profiling of the response of mesothelial cells (MCs) to linear cyclic stretch revealed molecular changes compatible with bona fide MMT, which (i) overlapped with established YAP target gene subsets, and (ii) were largely dependent on endogenous TGF-beta1 signaling. Importantly, TGF-beta1 blockade blunts the transcriptional upregulation of the se gene signatures, but not the mechanical activation and nuclear translocation of YAP per se. We studied the role therein of caveolin-1 (Cav1), a plasma membrane mechanotransducer. Exposure of Cav1-deficient MCs to cyclic stretch led to a robust upregulation of MMT-related gene programs, which was blunted upon TGF-beta1 inhibition. Conversely, Cav1 depletion enhanced both TGF-beta1 and TGFBRI expression. Cav1 genetic deficiency exacerbated MMT and PA fibrosis in an experimental model of peritoneal ischaemic buttons. Taken together, these results support that Cav1-YAP/TAZ fine-tune the fibrotic response through the modulation of MMT, onto which TGF-beta1-dependent signaling coordinately converges. Our findings reveal a cooperation between biomechanical and biochemical signals in the triggering of MMT, representing a novel potential opportunity to intervene mechanically-induced disorders coursing with peritoneal fibrosis, such as post-surgical adhesions. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are fast-growing tumors that account for 2-10% of primary chondrosarcomas. Cytogenetic information is restricted to 12 cases that did not show a specific aberration pattern. Recently, two fusion genes were described in mesenchymal chondrosarcomas: a recurrent HEY1-NCOA2 found in tumors that had not been cytogenetically characterized and an IRF2BP2-CDX1 found in a tumor carrying a t(1;5)(q42;q32) translocation as the sole chromosomal abnormality. Here, we present the cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis of a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in which the patient had two histologically indistinguishable tumor lesions, one in the neck and one in the thigh. An abnormal clone with the G-banding karyotype 46,XX,add(6)(q23),add(8)(p23),del(10)(p11),+12,-15[6] was found in the neck tumor whereas a normal karyotype, 46,XX, was found in the tumor of the thigh. RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing showed that exon 4 of HEY1 was fused to exon 13 of NCOA2 in the sample from the thigh lesion; we did not have spare material to perform a similar analysis of the neck tumor. Examining the published karyotypes we observed numerical or structural aberrations of chromosome 8 in the majority of the karyotyped mesenchymal chondrosarcomas. Chromosome 8 was also structurally affected in the present study. The pathogenetic mechanisms behind this nonrandom involvement are unknown, but the presence on 8q of two genes, HEY1 and NCOA2, now known to be involved in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma tumorigenesis is, of course, suggestive.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) is a rare malignant variant of chondrosarcoma with a high tendency of recurrence and metastasis. Intradural extramedullary spinal MCS is exceedingly rare and usually found in pediatric patients. Herein, we present an elderly patient with primary intradural extramedullary spinal MCS. Relevant literatures are reviewed to disclose characteristics of intradural extramedullary spinal MCS. CASE PRESENTATION:A 64-year-old female presented with urinary difficulty and tightness of upper back preceding progressive weakness of right lower extremity. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary tumor at the level of 3rd thoracic vertebra. This patient underwent total tumor resection and then received adjuvant radiotherapy. Histopathological examination showed that the tumor composed of spindle and round cells with high nucleocytoplasmic ratio accompanied by scattered eosinophilic chondroid matrix. Along with immunohistochemical findings and the existence of HEY1-NCOA2 fusion transcript, the diagnosis of MCS was confirmed. Neurologic deficit recovered nearly completely after surgery. No evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis was found 5?years after treatments. Including the current case, a total of 18 cases have been reported in the literature with only one case with local recurrence and one case of mortality. The current case was the eldest patient diagnosed with primary intraspinal MCS in the literature. CONCLUSIONS:MCS rarely appears in the intradural space of the spine. In contrast to classic MCS, treatment outcome of primary intradural extramedullary spinal MCS is usually excellent as total tumor resection is commonly achievable. Adjuvant radiotherapy may reduce local recurrence and chemotherapy may be associated with fewer recurrences especially for unresectable tumors.

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) are important cellular components of the tumor microenvironment and are significantly associated with poor patient outcomes in prostate cancer and other solid cancers. The promotion of tumor progression partly involves heterotypic interactions between MCs and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which combine to potentiate a pro-tumor extracellular matrix and promote epithelial cell invasion and migration. Thus far, the interactions between MCs and CAFs remains poorly understood. To identify molecular changes that may alter resident MC function in the prostate tumor microenvironment, we profiled the transcriptome of human prostate MCs, isolated from patient-matched non-tumor and tumor-associated regions of fresh radical prostatectomy tissue. Transcriptomic profiling revealed a distinct gene expression profile of MCs isolated from prostate tumor regions, including the downregulation of SAMD14, a putative tumor suppressor gene. Proteomic profiling revealed overexpression of SAMD14 in HMC-1 MCs altered the secretion of proteins associated with immune regulation and extracellular matrix processes. To assess MC biological function within a model of the prostate tumor microenvironment, HMC-1-SAMD14+ conditioned media was added to co-cultures of primary prostatic CAFs and prostate epithelium. HMC-1-SAMD14+ secretions were shown to reduce the deposition and alignment of matrix produced by CAFs and suppress pro-tumorigenic prostate epithelial morphology. Overall, our data presents the first profile of human MCs derived from patient prostate cancer specimens and identifies MC-derived SAMD14 as an important mediator of MC phenotype and function within the prostate tumor microenvironment.
