A clinically applicable connectivity signature for glioblastoma includes the tumor network driver CHI3L1

ABSTRACT: Tumor microtubes (TMs) connect glioma cells to a network with considerable relevance for tumor progression and therapy resistance. The determination of TM-interconnectivity in individual tumors has been challenging and the impact on patient survival unresolved. Here, a connectivity signature from single-cell RNA-sequenced (scRNA-Seq) xenografted primary glioblastoma (GB) cells has been established using a dye uptake methodology, confirmed with recording of cellular calcium epochs and validated with clinical correlations. Astrocyte-like and mesenchymal-like GB cells have the highest connectivity signature scores in scRNA-sequenced patient-derived xenografts and patient samples. In large GB cohorts, network connectivity correlated with the mesenchymal subtype and dismal patient survival. CHI3L1 has been identified and validated as a robust molecular marker of connectivity with functional relevance. The connectivity signature allows novel insights into brain tumor biology, provides a proof-of-principle that tumor cell TM-connectivity is relevant for patientsÃ¢Â€Â™ prognosis, and serves as a robust prognostic biomarker.

Prostate cancer cancer-associated fibroblasts with stable markers post-androgen deprivation therapy associated with tumor progression and castration resistant prostate cancer

Project description:The specificity and clinical relevance of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in prostate cancer (PCa), as well as the impact of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on CAFs, remain to be fully elucidated. Employing cell lineage diversity and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we pinpointed a unique CAF signature exclusive to PCa. The specificity of this CAF signature was validated through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), cell line RNA sequencing, and immunohistochemistry. This signature associates CAFs with tumor progression, elevated Gleason scores, and the emergence of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Utilizing scRNA-seq on collected samples, we demonstrated that the CAF-specific signature is not altered by ADT, maintaining its peak signal output. Identifying a PCa-specific CAF signature and observing signaling changes in CAFs after ADT lay an essential groundwork for further PCa studies.

An atlas of gene regulatory networks for T memory cells in youth and old age [ATAC-seq]

Project description:We previously identified a population of IL-10-producing, T follicular helper-like cells ("Tfh10"), linked to suppressed vaccine responses in aged mice. Here, we applied scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq to characterize Tfh10 – and the full CD4+ memory T cell (CD4+TM) compartment – in young and old mice. Unprecedented scRNA-seq coverage of the CD4+TM compartment and parallel chromatin accessibility measurements (scATAC-seq) enabled identification of 13 CD4+TM populations, which we validated as a reference through comprehensive cross-comparison to aging cell atlases and scRNA-seq studies reporting Tfh10 in other contexts. In addition, we compared sc-resolved populations to flow-sorted CD4+TM populations (Treg, Tfh10 and "nonTfh, non-Treg IL-10-") subjected to bulk RNA-seq and bulk ATAC-seq. Beyond robust characterization of age- and cell-type-dependent transcriptional landscapes, we used integrative computational modeling to predict the underlying regulatory mechanisms: We inferred gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that describe transcription-factor control of gene expression in each T-cell population and how these circuits change with age. Furthermore, we integrated our data with prior, pan-cell scRNA-seq studies to identify intercellular-signaling networks driving age-dependent changes in CD4+TM. Our atlas of finely resolved CD4+TM subsets, GRNs and cell-cell communication networks is a critical resource for analysis of biologic processes operative in memory T cells in youth and old age. The resource presents new opportunities to manipulate regulatory circuits in CD4+TM, which, long-term, could improve immune responses in the elderly.

aCGH profiling of glioblastoma biopsies obtained by neuro-navigation in four distinct areas for 10 patients (necrotic zone, tumor zone, interface, and peripheral brain zone).

Project description:We classified samples and deciphered a key genes signature of intratumor heterogeneity by Principal Component Analysis and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis. At the genome level, we identified common GB copy number alterations and but a strong inter-individual molecular heterogeneity.
