Chromatin de-condensation by switching substrate elasticity

ABSTRACT: The mortality in cancer is mostly related to the development of metastases that colonize and comprise the function of vital organs. During the process of dissemination to form metastases, tumor cells face changing environments. Although the consequences of the changes in chemical environment have widely been investigated, much less is known about the effects of the physical changes. We have developed a culture model in which human colon cancer cells have been recurrently grown on soft substrates versus standard rigid substrates. The soft substrates induce several phenotypic changes like the increase of cell motility and the remodeling of chromatin structure. The aim was to investigate, by RNAseq, the changes in global gene expression induced in cells grown on soft versus rigid substrates.

Matrix Elasticity Does Not Affect Replicative Senescence or DNA Methylation Patterns of Mesenchymal Stem Cells [DNAm profiling]

Project description:Matrix elasticity influences differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) but it is unclear if these effects are only transient - while the cells reside on the substrate - or if they reflect persistent lineage commitment. In this study, MSCs were continuously culture-expanded in parallel either on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) gels of different elasticity or on tissue culture plastic (TCP) to compare impact on replicative senescence, in vitro differentiation, gene expression, and DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles. The maximal number of cumulative population doublings was not affected by matrix elasticity. Differentiation towards adipogenic and osteogenic lineage was increased on soft and rigid biomaterials, respectively - but this propensity was no more evident if cells were transferred to TCP. Global gene expression profiles and DNAm profiles revealed relatively few differences in MSCs cultured on soft or rigid matrices. Furthermore, only moderate DNAm changes were observed upon culture on very soft hydrogels of human platelet lysate (hPL-gel). Our results support the notion that matrix elasticity influences cellular differentiation while the cells are organized on the substrate, but it does not have major impact on cell-intrinsic lineage determination, replicative senescence or DNAm patterns. 20 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Chromatin de-condensation by switching substrate elasticity.

Project description:Mechanical properties of the cellular environment are known to influence cell fate. Chromatin de-condensation appears as an early event in cell reprogramming. Whereas the ratio of euchromatin versus heterochromatin can be increased chemically, we report herein for the first time that the ratio can also be increased by purely changing the mechanical properties of the microenvironment by successive 24 h-contact of the cells on a soft substrate alternated with relocation and growth for 7 days on a hard substrate. An initial contact with soft substrate caused massive SW480 cancer cell death by necrosis, whereas approximately 7% of the cells did survived exhibiting a high level of condensed chromatin (21% heterochromatin). However, four consecutive hard/soft cycles elicited a strong chromatin de-condensation (6% heterochromatin) correlating with an increase of cellular survival (approximately 90%). Furthermore, cell survival appeared to be reversible, indicative of an adaptive process rather than an irreversible gene mutation(s). This adaptation process is associated with modifications in gene expression patterns. A completely new approach for chromatin de-condensation, based only on mechanical properties of the microenvironment, without any drug mediation is presented.

Substrate stiffness-dependent gene expression profile for cortical neurons

Project description:We undertook mRNA microarray and gene ontology analyses to screen out substrate stiffness-dependent genes. Total mRNA were extracted from E17 cortical neurons grown on soft or stiff substrates at 5 or 16 hr time points. We identified 114 differentially-expressed mRNA transcripts in cells grown on 0.1 kPa and 20 kPa gels at the 5 hr time-point. Among them, 66 were upregulated in 0.1 kPa gel cultures and the remainder were downregulated (compared to cells grown on stiffer substrates). The expressions of three endocytic genes (Cltc, Dab2, and Myo6) and four adhesion genes(Vcl, Robo2, Nrcam, and Cad11) were confirmed by QGP and smRNA FISH.

Substrate elasticity does not impact on DNA methylation changes during differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:Substrate elasticity may direct cell-fate decisions of stem cells. However, it is largely unclear how matrix stiffness impacts on differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and if this is also reflected by epigenetic modifications. We have therefore cultured iPSCs on tissue culture plastic (TCP) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with different Young´s modulus (0.2 kPa, 16 kPa, or 64 kPa) to investigate the sequel on growth and differentiation towards endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Immunofluorescence and gene expression of canonical differentiation markers was hardly affected by the substrates. Notably, when we analyzed DNA methylation profiles of iPSCs or after three-lineage differentiation, we did not see any significant differences on the three different PDMS elasticities. Only when we compared DNA methylation profiles on PDMS-substrates versus TCP, we observed clear epigenetic differences, particularly upon mesodermal differentiation. Taken together, stiffness of PDMS-substrates did not impact on directed differentiation of iPSCs, whereas the moderate epigenetic differences on TCP might also be attributed to other chemical parameters.

Influence of substrate stiffness on chemotherapeutic response in breast cancer

Project description:Mechanical feedback from the tumor microenvironment regulates an array of processes underlying cancer biology. Routine culture and adaptation of cancer cell lines to unnaturally rigid plastic or glass substrates leads to profound changes in their growth, metastatic potential and potentially chemotherapeutic response. Microarray studies were conducted to probe the impact of substratum stiffness on the regulation of genetic pathways in mammary tumor cells, and immortalized cancer cell lines, that modulate sensitivity and resistance towards clinically-approved chemotherapeutics We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellular response to substrates of different mechanical stiffness.
