Project description:To determine whether enhanced self-renewal and tumorigenicity in UT2 cells (derived from the second human–mouse xenotransplantation of U2OS cell-formed osteosarcoma tissues) correlate with increased expression of stem/progenitor cell-associated genes, we measured global gene expression in MSC, U2OS and UT2 cells by microarray analysis. Compared to U2OS and MSC, molecules involved in regulation of self-renewal signaling pathways of cancer stem cells were also up-regulated in UT2 cells, including those in the Notch, Wnt, and TGF-beta pathways. These data suggest a genetic basis for the enhanced self-renewal and tumorigenicity of osteosarcoma-initiating cell in UT2 cells.

MSC, U2OS and UT2 cells were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to analysis stem/progenitor cell-associated genes and molecules involved in regulation of self-renewal signaling pathways of cancer stem cells between UT2 cells and its parent cells: U2OS (MSC works as positive control here).

Project description:One aspect of intra-tumoral heterogeneity in glioblastoma involves subpopulations of cells capable of self-renewal and indefinite propagation. Conceptually, this capacity is frequently treated as a static property. Here we provide data suggesting that tumorigenicity in glioblastomais a dynamic property that can be acquired or lost. Integrated expression analyses suggest that tumorigenicity is determined by the level of MYC expression relative to a threshold. Transitions between tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell states are associated with changes in histone modifications at the MYC locus, suggesting tumorigenicity is epigenetically regulated.

To verify genomic stability at the nucleotide level, we tested whether subclones derived from single cells shared common Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Ten single cell-derived subclones of U87MG underwent SNP profiling by Affymetrix Human Mapping 250K Nsp arrays.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most aggressive and life-threatening malignancies known for its notorious resistance to chemotherapy. This is increasingly ascribed to the subpopulation of undifferentiated cells, known as pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs), which are evolutionary fitter than other tumor cells to evade the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy. Those cells are crucial for tumor relapse as they possess ‘stem cell-like’ features of self-renewal and differentiation. However, what molecular mechanisms maintain the unique characteristics of PCSCs are poorly understood. Here, we identified an RNA polymerase II-associated PHF5A-PHF14-HMG20A-RAI1-KMT2A transcriptional subcomplex, which regulates the stemness characteristics and tumorigenicity of PCSCs through epigenetic control of gene expression. Targeting the protein subcomplex with a KMT2A-WDR5 inhibitor attenuated the self-renewal and in vivo tumorigenicity of PCSCs, thus offering a novel anti-PCSCs targeting strategy for enhancing the efficiency of chemotherapy which is likely to translate into durable clinical responses in PC patients.

Project description:The pluripotency transcription factor SOX2 is essential for the maintenance of glioblastoma stem cells (GSC), which drive tumor growth and treatment resistance.To understand how SOX2 is regulated in GSCs, we utilized a proteomic approach and identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM26 as a direct SOX2-interacting protein. Unexpectedly, we found TRIM26 depletion decreased SOX2 protein levels and increased SOX2 polyubiquitination in patient-derived GSCs, suggesting TRIM26 promotes SOX2 protein stability. Accordingly, TRIM26 knockdown reduced SOX2 transcriptional activity, self-renewal capacity, and in vivo tumorigenicity in multiple GSC lines. Mechanistically, we found TRIM26, via its C-terminal PRYSPRY domain, but independent of its RING domain, stabilizes SOX2 protein by directly inhibiting the interaction of SOX2 with WWP2, which we identify as a bona fide SOX2 E3 ligase in GSCs. Our work identifies E3 ligase competition as a critical mechanism of SOX2 regulation, with functional consequences for GSC identity and maintenance.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells (GSCs) are largely associated with a poor prognosis of GBM. Although the importance of identifying and validating molecular markers in GBM has been emphasized, single markers covering all GSCs are lacking. Through in vitro antibody screening, in this study, we demonstrated that CD97 identifies GSCs as a novel surface marker. Compared to conventional well-known GSC markers, such as CD133, CD44 and CD15, only CD97 was notably detected in all tested patient-derived GSCs. GBM patients expressing high levels of CD97 experienced worse clinical outcomes, and were predictive of poor overall survival in the public database. CD97 is required for GSC proliferation and self-renewal and was shown to reduce mouse survival with aggressive tumor progression in an orthotopic xenograft model. A comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed that CD97 triggers mTORC2 signaling through Akt (S473) phosphorylation, enhancing the expression of downstream genes, including ARHGAP1, BZW1, and BZW2. Moreover, inhibition of mTORC2 signaling with the pharmacological inhibitor JR-AP2-011 suppressed GSC proliferation, self-renewal, and downstream gene expression. Furthermore, sorting of CD97-enriched cells from patient-derived GSCs revealed that CD97 promotes GSC self-renewal and tumorigenicity via mTORC2/AKT signaling. Thus, our findings suggest that CD97 may be a general GSC enrichment marker in GBM and that the CD97-related pathway might serve as a therapeutic target for GBM.

Project description:Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be associated with the presence of glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells that have different functional characteristics. We found that TUG1, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), plays pivotal roles in maintaining the self-renewal properties of GSC. Some lncRNAs are known to act as a miRNA sponge in the cytoplasm, where lncRNAs bind to miRNAs and quench their activity. To investigate miRNA expression profiling in GSC upon TUG1 inhibition, we have performed microarray experiment using SurePrint G3 Human miRNA 8x60K Microarray (G4872A, Agilent Technologies).

Project description:The role of TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cell dissemination is well established, but the involvement of lncRNAs in TGF-β signaling is still unknown. In this study, we observed that the lncRNA-Activated by TGF-β (lncRNA-ATB) was upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastases and associated with poor prognosis. lncRNA-ATB upregulated ZEB1 and ZEB2 by competitively binding the miR-200 family and then induced EMT and invasion. In addition, lncRNA-ATB promoted organ colonization of disseminated tumor cells by binding IL11 mRNA, inducing autocrine of IL11 and triggering STAT3 signaling. Globally, lncRNA-ATB promotes the invasion-metastasis cascade. Thus, these findings suggest that lncRNA-ATB, a mediator of TGF-β signaling, could predispose HCC patients to metastases and may serve as a potential target for anti-metastatic therapies. To identify mRNA species bound by lncRNA-ATB, we performed an RIP to pull down endogenous mRNAs associated with the lncRNA-ATB and sequenced the retrieved RNA.

Project description:The interplay between glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promotes progression of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). However, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between these two cell types remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that ARS2 (arsenite-resistance protein 2), a zinc finger protein that is essential for early mammalian development, plays critical roles in GSC maintenance and M2-like TAM polarization. ARS2 directly activates its novel transcriptional target MGLL, encoding monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), to regulate the self-renewal and tumorigenicity of GSCs through production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which stimulates β-catenin activation of GSC and M2-like TAM polarization. Specific knockdown of ARS2 or MAGL significantly suppressed self-renewal and tumor growth, and increased survival in a mouse intracranial xenograft model of GSCs. We identify M2-like signature downregulated by which MAGL-specific inhibitor, JZL184, increased survival rate significantly in the mouse xenograft model by blocking PGE2 production. The M2-like signature is enriched in mesenchymal subtype and predicted poor survival in GBM patients. Taken together, our results suggest that blocking the interplay between GSCs and TAMs by targeting ARS2/MAGL signaling offers a potentially novel therapeutic option for GBM patients.
