Integration of biochemical, biophysical and transcriptomics data for investigating the structural and nanomechanical properties of the yeast cell wall

ABSTRACT: Identify the molecular cues (genes) which shape the biochemical composition and the nanomechanical properties of the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisae and the links between these two parameters represent a major issue in the understanding of the biogenesis and the molecular assembly of this essential cellular structure, which may have consequences in diverse biotechnological applications. Firstly, we compared the biochemical and biophysical properties of 4 industrial strains with the laboratory sequenced strain BY4743 and used transcriptome data of these strains to infer biological hypothesis about differences of these properties between strains. The second approach was to employ a multivariate statistical analysis to identify highly correlated variables among biochemical, biophysical and genes expression data.

ETVs dictate hPSC differentiation by tuning biophysical properties

Project description:Stem cells maintain a dynamic dialogue with their niche, integrating biochemical and biophysical cues to modulate cellular behavior. Yet, the transcriptional networks that regulate cellular biophysical properties remain poorly defined. Here, we leverage human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and two morphogenesis models – gastruloids and pancreatic differentiation – to establish ETV transcription factors as critical regulators of biophysical parameters and lineage commitment. Genetic ablation of ETV1 or ETV1/ETV4/ETV5 in hPSCs enhanced cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion, leading to aberrant multilineage differentiation including disrupted germ-layer organization, ectoderm loss, and extraembryonic cell overgrowth in gastruloids. Furthermore, ETV1 loss abolished pancreatic progenitor formation. Single-cell RNA sequencing and follow-up assays revealed dysregulated mechanotransduction via the PI3K/AKT signaling. Our findings highlight the importance of transcriptional control over cell biophysical properties and suggest that manipulating these properties may improve in vitro cell and tissue engineering strategies.

Engineering Modular 3D Liver Culture Microenvironments In Vitro to Parse the Interplay between Biophysical and Biochemical Microenvironment Cues on Hepatic Phenotypes

Project description:In vitro models of human liver functions are used across a diverse range of applications in preclinical drug development and disease modeling, with particular increasing interest in models that capture facets of liver inflammatory status. This study investigates how the interplay between biophysical and biochemical microenvironment cues influence phenotypic responses, including inflammation signatures, of primary human hepatocytes (PHH) cultured in a commercially available perfused bioreactor. A 3D printing-based alginate microwell system was designed to form thousands of hepatic spheroids in a scalable manner as a comparator 3D culture modality to the bioreactor. Soft, synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel scaffolds with biophysical properties mimicking features of liver were engineered to replace polystyrene scaffolds, and the biochemical microenvironment was modulated with a defined set of growth factors and signaling modulators. The supplemented media significantly increased tissue density, albumin secretion, and CYP3A4 activity but also upregulated inflammatory markers. Basal inflammatory markers were lower for cells maintained in ECM hydrogel scaffolds or spheroid formats than polystyrene scaffolds, while hydrogel scaffolds exhibited the most sensitive response to inflammation as assessed by multiplexed cytokine and RNA-seq analyses. Together, these engineered 3D liver microenvironments provide insights for probing human liver functions and inflammatory response in vitro.

Cytotoxic lymphocytes use mechanosurveillance to target biophysical vulnerabilities in cancer

Project description:Immune cells identify cancer cells by recognizing characteristic biochemical features indicative of oncogenic transformation. Cancer cells have characteristic mechanical features, as well, but whether these biophysical properties also contribute to destruction by the immune system is not known. In the present study, we found that enhanced expression of myocardin related transcription factors (MRTFs), which promote migration and metastatic invasion, paradoxically compromised lung colonization by melanoma and breast carcinoma cells in an immune-mediated manner. Cancer cells with increased MRTF signaling were also more sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade therapy in mice and humans. The basis for this vulnerability was not biochemical, but biophysical. MRTF expression strengthened the actin cytoskeleton, increasing the rigidity of cancer cells and thereby making them more vulnerable to cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. These results reveal a mechanical dimension of immunosurveillance, which we call mechanosurveillance, that is particularly relevant to the targeting of metastatic disease.

Identification of a human airway epithelial cell subpopulation with altered biophysical, molecular, and metastatic properties

Project description:Lung cancers are documented to have remarkable intratumoral genetic heterogeneity. However, little is known about the heterogeneity of biophysical properties, such as cell motility, and its relationship to early disease pathogenesis and micrometastatic dissemination. In this study, we identified and selected a subpopulation of highly migratory premalignant pulmonary epithelial cells that were observed to migrate through microscale constrictions at up to 100-fold the rate of unselected cells. This enhanced migratory capacity was found to be Rac1-dependent and heritable, as evidenced by maintenance of the phenotype through multiple cell divisions continuing more than 8-weeks post-selection. The morphology of this lung epithelial subpopulation was characterized by increased cell protrusion intensity. In a murine model of micrometastatic seeding and pulmonary colonization, the motility-selected premalignant cells exhibit both enhanced survival in short term assays and enhanced outgrowth of premalignant lesions in longer term assays, thus overcoming important aspects of “metastatic inefficiency.” Overall, our findings indicate that among premalignant pulmonary epithelial cells, subpopulations with heritable motility-related biophysical properties exist, and these may explain micrometastatic seeding occurring early in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. Understanding, targeting, and preventing these critical biophysical traits and their underlying molecular mechanisms may provide a new approach to prevent metastatic behavior.

A biophysical DNA binding model for the LEAFY transcription factor reveals the evolutionary fluidity of its binding sites

Project description:Despite great advances in sequencing capacity, generating functional information for non-model organisms remains a challenge. One solution lies in an improved ability to predict genetic circuits based on primary DNA sequence combined with the characterization of regulatory molecules from model species. Here, we focus on the LEAFY (LFY) transcription factor, a conserved master regulator of floral development. Starting with biochemical and structural information, we built a biophysical model describing LFY DNA binding specificity in vitro that accurately predicts in vivo LFY binding sites in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. Extending the model to other species, we show that it can correctly identify functional homologs of known LFY targets from Arabidopsis thaliana in other angiosperms, even if a functional shift between orthologs and paralogs has occurred. Moreover, this model demonstrates the evolutionary fluidity of the link between LFY and one of its target genes, underlining how this regulatory interaction can be conserved despite changes in position, sequence and affinity of the LFY binding sites. Our study shows that the cis-element fluidity recently illustrated in animals also exists in plants, and that it can be detected without any experimental work in each individual species, using a biophysical transcription factor model.
