Project description:Women with germline mtuation in BRCA1 have increased risk for developing hereditary breast cancer. The role of the epitheilum-assocaited niche during BRCA1-driven tumor intiation remains unclear. Here, we show that the pre-malignant stromal niche promotes epithelial prolifeation and BRCA1-driven cancer intiation in trans. Using single-cell RNA seq analysis of human pre-neoplastic BRCA1 and control breast tissue, we show that stromal cells provide numerous pro-proliferative paracrine signals inducing epithelial proliferation.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) stem cell models of the ovary have the potential to benefit women's reproductive health research. One such model, the reconstituted ovary (rOvary) self-assembles with pluripotent stem cell-derived germ cells creating a 3D ovarian mimic competent to support the differentiation of functional oocytes inside follicles. In this study, we evaluated the cellular composition of the rOvary revealing the capacity to generate multiple follicles surrounded by NR2F2+ stroma cells. However, the rOvary does not develop a surface epithelium, the source of second-wave pre-granulosa cells, or steroidogenic theca. Therefore, the rOvary models represent the self-assembly of activated follicles in a pre-pubertal ovary poised but not yet competent for hormone production.

Project description:The gene expression profile in treated CP70 side population spheroid cells (CP70sps cells) was analyzed to investigate the effect of niclosamide inhibition on ovarian tumor-initiating cells. CP70sps cells are isolated and characterized as one kind of ovarian tumor-initiating cells, and they show stemness properties and drug resistance capacity. According gene expression profiles and mechanistic analysis, all evidences revealed niclosamide disrupted multiple metabolic pathways affecting biogenetics, biogenesis and redox regulation. These studies support niclosamide as a promising therapeutic agent for ovarian cancer. CP70sps cells were treated with niclosamide for 0, 2, 4 and 6 hours respectively, and then cells were harvested and analyzed their gene expression profiles.

Project description:Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes confer an increased lifetime risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer risk can be decreased by risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). Studies on RRSO material have altered the paradigm of serous ovarian cancer pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify candidate genes possibly involved in pathogenesis of serous ovarian cancer by carrying out a microarray analysis of differentially expressed genes in BRCA1/2- mutation positive ovarian and fallopian tube epithelium derived from RRSO surgery. Freshly frozen ovarian and fallopian tube samples from nine BRCA1/2 mutation carriers scheduled for RRSO were prospectively collected in comparison with five mutation-negative control patients undergoing salpingo-oophorectomy for benign indications. Microarray analysis of genome-wide gene expression was performed on ovarian and fallopian tube samples from BRCA1/2 and control patients. The validation of microarray data was performed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in selected cases of RRSO samples, and also high grade serous carcinoma samples collected from patients with BRCA phenotype. From 22,733 genes, 454 transcripts were identified that were differentially expressed in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers when statistically compared to controls pooling all ovarian and fallopian tube samples together. Of these, 299 genes were statistically significantly downregulated and 155 genes were upregulated. Differentially expressed genes in BRCA1/2 samples reported here might be involved in serous ovarian carcinogenesis and provide interesting targets for further studies. Both fallopian tube and ovarian samples were collected from each BRCA1/2 mutation carrier resulting in eighteen mutation positive adnexal samples. Both fallopian tube and ovarian control samples were collected from one control patient while either ovarian or fallopian tube sample was available from four control patients, respectively, resulting in 6 adnexal control samples. High quality RNA was available from nine BRCA1/2-mutation positive ovarian and eight BRCA1/2-mutation positive fallopian tube samples and from three control ovarian and three control fallopian tube samples.

Project description:When first formed, the ovary only has an established epithelium at its base or hilum. Later, an epithelium is established around the rest of the ovary. To examine this further, we conducted scanning electron microscopy of the surface of bovine fetal ovaries and immunohistochemistry of ovarian cross-sections. From the earliest time point, the cells on the surface of the base or hilum of the ovary were cuboidal. On the remainder of the ovary, the surface was more irregular. By mid-development, the surface was covered completely with either a stratified or simple epithelium of cuboidal cells. Clefts were observed in the surface and appeared to form due to the expansion of stroma surrounding each open ovigerous cord, elevating the areas surrounding each cord, while leaving the opening of the cord to form the base of each cleft. The continued expansion of the surrounding stroma below the surface appeared not only to close the ovigerous cords from the surface but to compress the clefts into the shape of a groove. Later, most of the ovarian surface was covered with a simple cuboidal epithelium. The changes to the ovarian surface during fetal development coincide with the remodeling of the stroma and cords below.

Project description:The ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) forms a lining around the entire ovary and actively participates in the ovulatory cycle. To investigate how specific growth factors and hormones affect OSE proliferation, the present study used sheep as a model to examine the effects of follicular and luteal products on the proliferation of sheep OSE cells in culture, and to analyse the influences of large antral follicles and corpora lutea (CL) on the expression of gonadotrophin receptors (FSHR and LHR) in the OSE. In the present study, follicular fluids from medium and large follicles, and extracts of corpora lutea stimulated the growth of OSE cells. The results of the present study showed that factors in the follicular fluid can induce OSE proliferative activity, and this stimulation effect could not be attributed to steroids in the follicular fluid since oestrogen and progesterone treatments failed to stimulate OSE cells. The expression of LH and FSH receptors over large follicles (5 mm or larger) was two and four times higher than those over stroma and CL, respectively. In conclusion, OSE proliferation in cycling sheep is associated with underlying developing follicles and CL, mediated by, at least in part, the up-regulation of gonadotrophin receptors, and facilitated by the action of mitogenic glycopeptides and growth factors, but not steroids.

Project description:Snail1 is a transcription factor known to promote the epithelial to mesenchymal transition process and stemness. We have previously described that in Glioblastoma BMP7 promotes glioblastoma initiating cells (GICs) to differentiate towards the astrocytic lineage and to lose their self-renewal capacity in a Snail-dependent manner. In order to elucidate how Snail promotes GIC differentiation, we decided to stably overexpress Snail in the U2987 glioblastoma cells. To understand which genes are regulated by Snail we performed a microarray screen with the Affymetrix U133plus2 platform and total RNA from U2987MG cells stably expressing Snail (U2987MG-Snail cells; clones F and G) versus control cells (clones A and B), two biological replicates per condition.

Project description:Transcriptome profiling using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays was performed on sorted populations of Lgr5-expressing mouse ovarian surface epithelium. The ovary surface epithelium (OSE) undergoes ovulatory tear-and-remodelling throughout life. Resident stem cells drive such tissue homeostasis in many adult epithelia, but their existence in the ovary has yet to be definitively proven. Lgr5 marks stem cells in multiple epithelia. Here we use reporter mice and Single Molecule Florescent-in-Situ-Hybridization (FISH) to document candidate Lgr5+ stem cells within the mouse ovary and associated structures. Lgr5 is broadly expressed during ovary organogenesis, but becomes limited to the OSE in early neonate life. In adults, Lgr5 expression is predominantly restricted to proliferative regions of the OSE and fimbria- mesovarian junction. Using conditional in vivo lineage tracing we identify embryonic and early neonate Lgr5+ populations as stem/progenitor cells contributing to the development of adult OSE and granulosa cell lineages, as well as the epithelia of the mesovarian and oviduct including its distal opening, fimbria. Long-term lineage tracing reveals that adult OSE-resident Lgr5+ populations contribute to epithelial homeostasis and OSE regenerative repair in vivo. Thus, Lgr5 is a marker of stem/progenitor cells of the ovary and tubal epithelia. Ovarian surface epithelium from pooled batches of Lgr5-eGFP-CreERT2 mice (n=8, per array) were sorted for cells expressing either high or low EGFP. Total RNA from three technical replicates per sorted population (Lgr5-high or Lgr5-low) was extracted with the RNeasy Micro Kit (QIAGEN), DNaseI-treated, and amplified with the Ovation Pico WTA V2 (NuGEN Technologies). Single-stranded cDNA amplification products were purified using QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (QIAGEN). cDNA was biotinylated using the Encore Biotin Module (NuGEN Technologies). Biotiylated cDNA was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genechip ST 2.0 expression arrays.
