Project description:Tumorigenic breast cancer cells characterized by CD44 expression and low or undetectable CD24 levels (CD44+/CD24-/low) may be resistant to chemotherapy and therefore responsible for cancer relapse. Paired breast cancer core biopsies before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or lapatinib were obtained and as single cell suspensions stained using antibodies against CD24, CD44, and lineage markers, and then analyzed by flow cytometry. Mammosphere (MS) formation in culture was compared before and after treatment. Global gene expression differences between cancer cells bearing CD44+/CD24-/low cells and all other sorted cells, and between cancer MS and the primary bulk invasive cancers were analyzed. We report that CD44+/CD24-/low tumorigenic breast cancer cells were intrinsically chemoresistant â chemotherapy led to increased CD44+/CD24-/low cells, increased self-renewal capacity on MS assays, and enhanced tumorigeneicity in immunocompromised SCID/Beige mice. Conversely, in patients with HER2 overexpressing tumors, the EGFR/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, lapatinib decreased CD44+/CD24-/low cells, with the majority of these patients after conventional therapy achieving pathologic complete response, a validated surrogate marker for long-term survival. Gene transcription pathways that underlie chemoresistant, MS-forming CD44+/CD24-/low cells involve genes belonging to stem cell self-renewal, Wnt signaling, and early development pathways. Experiment Overall Design: Human breast tumor samples were sorted using flow cytometry to select for cells that were CD44+ and CD24-. Gene expression profiles of these cells were compared with profiles of the other sorted cells (CD24+ and CD44-/CD24-). Experiment Overall Design: Core biopsies of primary breast tumors were taken and placed immediately in cold RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated newborn calf serum (HINCS, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Within an hour, the samples were minced and then digested in 10-15 mL of MEGM with 250-300 units/mL collagenase at 370C. The samples were filtered, washed, and then subjected to hypotonic shock to lyse red blood cells. About 106 single cells were re-suspended, incubated for 15 min at 40C with anti-CD44 (APC), anti-CD24 (FITC), and anti-lineage cocktail antibodies (PE-conjugated anti-CD2, CD3, CD10, CD16, CD18, CD31 and CD 140B) (Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) using the manufacturerâs suggested concentrations. The cells were then washed twice, re-suspended with the viability dye propidium iodide, and analyzed using Dako MoFlo flow cytometry. Side- and forward- scatter were used to eliminate debris and cell doublets, and the Lin- cells were further analyzed by CD44 and CD24 markers.

Project description:We characterized tumor stroma from glioma phenotypes before and after the onset of angiogenesis, established in GFP-NOD/Scid mice. From these tumors we separated GFP-positive stromal cells from GFP-negative tumor cells with simultaneous removal of stromal immune cells (CD11b+) and endothelial cells (CD31+). From the resulting cell population we isolated RNA for gene microarray analysis.

Project description:CD24 is a potential oncogene reported to be overexpressed in a large variety of human malignancies. We have shown that CD24 is overexpressed in 90% of colorectal tumors at a fairly early stage in the multistep process of carcinogenesis. Anti-CD24 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) induce a significant growth inhibition in colorectal and pancreatic cancer cell lines that express the protein. This study is designed to investigate further the effects of CD24 down-regulation using mAb or small interfering RNA in vitro and in vivo. Western blot analysis showed that anti-CD24 mAb induced CD24 protein down-regulation through lysosomal degradation. mAb augmented growth inhibition in combination with five classic chemotherapies. Xenograft models in vivo showed that tumor growth was significantly reduced in mAb-treated mice. Similarly, stable growth inhibition of cancer cell lines was achieved by down-regulation of CD24 expression using short hairpin RNA (shRNA). The produced clones proliferated more slowly, reached lower saturation densities, and showed impaired motility. Most importantly, down-regulation of CD24 retarded tumorigenicity of human cancer cell lines in nude mice. Microarray analysis revealed a similar pattern of gene expression alterations when cells were subjected to anti-CD24 mAb or shRNA. Genes in the Ras pathway, mitogenactivated protein kinase, or BCL-2 family and others of oncogenic association were frequently down-regulated. As a putative new oncogene that is overexpressed in gastrointestinal malignancies early in the carcinogenesis process, CD24 is a potential target for early intervention in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The study compared gene expression profiles between human CRC cells HT29 before and after expression of 1 and 2 shRNA vectors directed at the human CD24 gene, GFP control gene, HT29 cells and Colo357, human pancreatic cancer cells, before and after the inhibition of the CD24 molecule using 72h treatment with anti-CD24 monoclonal antibodies.

Experiment Overall Design: Isolated single cell suspensions from primary breast cancers were plated onto non-adherent (polyhema-coated) plastic, counted with a hematocytometer, and 20,000 cells were then seeded into a 6-well ultra-low attachment plate supplemented with 2mL MEGM, with the addition of 2 mL of freshly unfrozen MEGM every 3-4 days. Gene expression profiles were taken of both MS and primary bulk tumors and compared with each other.

Project description:In the tumor microenvironment the extracellular matrix molecule tenascin-C is highly expressed which correlates with worsened survival prognosis. Tenascin-C promotes multiple steps in cancer progression. In particular, tenascin-C promotes the tumor angiogenic switch and the formation of more but poorly functional blood vessels by ill defined mechanisms. Here, we studied tenascin-C angio-modulatory functions by tumor and stromal cells. Unexpectedly, we observed that direct contact of endothelial cells with tenascin-C impairs angiogenesis through disruption of actin polymerization. This resulted in cytoplasmic retention of the F-actin sensor and co-transcription factor YAP and led to downregulation of YAP pro-angiogenic target genes. Conversely, tumor cells and carcinoma associated fibroblasts exposed to tenascin-C secreted pro-angiogenic factors that promoted endothelial cell survival and tubulogenesis. We identified and functionally validated CXCL12 and Ephrin- B2 as important pro-angiogenic effectors of tenascin-C. Proteomic analysis of the secretome of tumor cells exposed to tenascin-C revealed a signature that predicts shorter survival of patients with low grade glioma and glioblastoma with a particular significance for a combined expression of tenascin-C and Ephrin-B2. Altogether, we demonstrated a dual mechanism of action of tenascin-C in tumor angiogenesis where direct contact of endothelial cells with tenascin-C impairs angiogenesis, and paracrine signals derived from contact of tumor cells and carcinoma associated fibroblasts with tenascin-C promotes angiogenesis. These opposing effects provide for the first time an explanation of divergent mechanisms controlled by tenascin-C which can result in a denser but less functional tumor blood vasculature and might unveil new targeting and prediction opportunities.

Project description:Durable remissions following anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) are rare. Relapses occur when a small subset of MM tumor-initiating cells (TICs) survive treatment. MM cells expressing CD24 exhibit features of TICs. We developed CD24-CAR-T cells and tested their ability to eliminate MM TICs in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Deregulation of Src kinases is associated with cancer. We previously showed that SrcDN conditional expression in MCF7 cells diminished tumorigenesis and causes tumor regression in mice. However, it remained unclear whether SrcDN affected breast cancer stem cell functionality or it reduced tumor mass. Here, we address this question by isolating an enriched population of BCSCs (ESA+-CD44+-CD24-) and the tumor-differentiated cells (ESA+-CD44+-CD24+) from MCF7-Tet-On-SrcDN. ESA+-CD44+-CD24- grew in suspension forming mammospheres, and producing tumors in nude mice, while ESA+-CD44+-CD24+ were poorly/non-tumorigenic. Doxycycline-induction of SrcDN inhibited BCSC tumorigenesis, selfrenewal, and stem-cell markers expression. SrcDN significantly inhibited SFE, and stem-cell markers expression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 and SUM159PT cells. Inducible depletion of c-Src caused similar effects in MDA-MB-231 cells. In MCF7-Tet-On-SrcDN derived mammospheres SrcDN-induction inhibited expression, and activity of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, resulting in diminished glucose consumption and lactate production, which restricted Warburg effect. Thus, c-Src functionality is important for breast cancer stem cell maintenance and renewal, tumorigenicity, and stem cell transcription factor expression, effects linked to glucose metabolism reduction.
