Project description:By coupling PDX and cell surface marker screening technologies, we have identified distinct tumor cell sub-populations that are associated with tumor resistance to chemotherapy. In the majority of relapsed tumors, the percentage of the marker-positive cells shifted back to pretreatment levels. SSEA4 is one of the cell surface molecules tested that could distinguish enriched residual tumor cells in all the different TNBC PDX models analyzed. The expression of SSEA4 is associated with tumor resistance to chemotherapy and SSEA4+ cells show increased gene expression of genes involved in response to toxins, cellular import/export, cell migration and EMT. The dataset comprises four different sample groups including SSEA4- and SSEA4+ cell fractions isolated from mouse xenografts of human breast cancer cells. Two technical replicates were generated for each cell fraction. Microarray analysis was performed on the Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray 8x60K (v2) platform.

Project description:Magnetic particles can enrich desired cell populations to aid in understanding cell-type functions and mechanisms, diagnosis, and therapy. As cells are heterogeneous in ligand type, location, expression, and density, careful consideration of magnetic particle design for positive isolation is necessary. Antigen-specific immune cells have low frequencies, which has made studying, identifying, and utilizing these cells for therapy a challenge. Here we demonstrate the importance of magnetic particle design based on the biology of T cells. We create magnetic particles which recognize rare antigen-specific T cells and quantitatively investigate important particle properties including size, concentration, ligand density, and ligand choice in enriching these rare cells. We observe competing optima among particle parameters, with 300?nm particles functionalized with a high density of antigen-specific ligand achieving the highest enrichment and recovery of target cells. In enriching and then activating an endogenous response, 300?nm aAPCs generate nearly 65% antigen-specific T cells with at least 450-fold expansion from endogenous precursors and a 5-fold increase in numbers of antigen-specific cells after only seven days. This systematic study of particle properties in magnetic enrichment provides a case study for the engineering design principles of particles for the isolation of rare cells through biological ligands.

Project description:The presence of pancreatic stem cells (PnSCs) has not been firmly demonstrated in the human or animal pancreas. Previous reports have suggested that ductal and acinar structures in the exocrine pancreas can be a potential source of progenitor cells. More recently, immature insulin precursors in the periphery of human islets have been found to self-replicate and differentiate to endocrine cells in vitro. Transplantation of these cells under the kidney capsule improves the diabetic state in mice. The controversy surrounding where PnSCs reside could be resolved if a specific marker were to be found that allowed their identification, purification, and directed differentiation to endocrine cells. We have identified in human pancreas cells positive for the stage-specific embryonic antigen 4 (SSEA4), a stem cell marker. These cells also express ductal, pancreatic progenitor, and stem cell protein markers. Interestingly, some of the SSEA4(+) cells scattered in the ducts do not show a ductal cell phenotype. SSEA4(+)-sorted cells formed aggregate-like spheres in culture and robustly differentiated to pancreatic hormone-expressing cells in conditions of high glucose concentration and B27 supplementation. We hypothesize that SSEA4(+) cells or a subpopulation of those cells residing in the pancreatic ducts may be the elusive PnSCs, and in this case, SSEA4 may represent a potential surface antigen marker for human PnSCs. The discovery of specific markers for the identification and purification of human PnSCs would greatly facilitate studies aimed at the expansion of these cells and the development of targeting tools for their potential induction to insulin-producing cells.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is heterogeneous and deadly, and the exact cause of the disease is unknown. Recent progress indicated that CRC is not a single disease, but a group of diseases with significant heterogeneity. Three previous CRC subtyping systems: microsatellite instability (MSI), consensus molecular subtypes (CMS), and tumor-node-metastases (TNM) stage were evaluated for their molecular and clinical implications. Results suggested that the MSI and CMS systems are prognostic and predictive mostly in early-stage CRC. As the stage remains an influential factor for CRC subtype analysis, we developed a new subtyping system named stage supervised CRC subtypes (SSCS), in order to better stratify CRC biologically and clinically. Our subtyping system can be used to classify CRC patients into five subtypes (SSCS1-5). SSCS1 was found to have the highest frequency of MSI-H cases compared to the remaining four subtypes. SSCS2 had the most favorable prognosis, whereas the worst prognosis was seen in SSCS4. SSCS3 had cell cycle and metabolism-related gene sets upregulation, and SSCS5 subtype was enriched with amplicon-associated gene sets. Moreover, tumor-infiltrating fibroblast was found to be predictive for poor disease-free survival (DFS) only within the SSCS4 subtype. Conventional dendritic cells (cDC), on the contrary, were associated with favorable DFS in the SSCS3 subtype. Our study provides a new subtyping system SSCS, which can be used for better stratify CRC patients compared to current standards. Further exploration of the subtype-specific cell types has the potential to be novel therapies for CRC.

Project description:Objective:Adoptive immunotherapy with ex vivo expanded tumor-specific T cells has potential as anticancer therapy. Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is an attractive target overexpressed in several cancers including melanoma and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), with low expression in normal tissue outside the gonads. We developed a GMP-compliant manufacturing method for PRAME-specific T cells from healthy donors for adoptive immunotherapy. Methods:Mononuclear cells were pulsed with PRAME 15-mer overlapping peptide mix. After 16 h, activated cells expressing CD137 were isolated with immunomagnetic beads and cocultured with irradiated CD137neg fraction in medium supplemented with interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7 and IL-15. Cultured T cells were restimulated with antigen-pulsed autologous cells after 10 days. Cellular phenotype and cytokine response following antigen re-exposure were assessed with flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) and supernatant cytokine detection. Detailed phenotypic and functional analysis with mass cytometry and T-cell receptor (TCR) beta clonality studies were performed on selected cultures. Results:PRAME-stimulated cultures (n = 10) had mean expansion of 2500-fold at day 18. Mean CD3+ percentage was 96% with CD4:CD8 ratio of 4:1. Re-exposure to PRAME peptide mixture showed enrichment of CD4 cells expressing interferon (IFN)-? (mean: 12.2%) and TNF-? (mean: 19.7%). Central and effector memory cells were 23% and 72%, respectively, with 24% T cells expressing PD1. Mass cytometry showed predominance of Th1 phenotype (CXCR3+/CCR4neg/CCR6neg/Tbet+, mean: 73%) and cytokine production including IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-13 and GM-CSF (2%, 6%, 8%, 4% and 11%, respectively). Conclusion:PRAME-specific T cells for adoptive immunotherapy were enriched from healthy donor mononuclear cells. The products were oligoclonal, exhibited Th1 phenotype and produced multiple cytokines.

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells are foundation of spermatogenesis. In our previous study, we observed a rapid degeneration of spermatogenesis by conditional knockout (cKO) of Nanos2 in adult spermatogonia, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. While, conditional overexpression (cOE) of Nanos2 also inhibited germ cell development and stayed in undifferentiation status. Here we used cultured germline stem cells (GSCs) to study the mechanisms of Nanos2 in spermatogonia. We compared Nanos2 expression in cultured GSCs with in vivo isolated Nanos2 positive cells, and found the level of Nanos2 is significantly lower in GSCs as compared to Nanos2 positive cells. Thus we generated Nano2 cOE GSCs lines. By conditional inducing expression of Nanos2 we compared gene expression profile to control GSCs. These data provide the first evidence of Nanos2 regulating genes in spermatogonial stem cells.
