Project description:Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling is essential in cell growth and differentiation. Yet, the role of the individual TGFβ signaling components in human tissue homeostasis and transformation is still incompletely understood. Here we dissected the importance of the core components in the TGFβ signaling pathway by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of human keratinocytes. The edited keratinocytes were used for human organotypic skin cultures and global quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics by mass spectrometry. Characterization of cells and human organotypic skin tissues showed control of epithelial differentiation by Smad4-dependent TGF signaling through cell cycle regulation and ECM expression. In contrast, we found that the combined Smad4 dependent and independent pathways, governed by TGFβRII, controls epithelial homeostasis and prevents invasive growth by blocking epithelial inflammation and activation of p38 and ERK signaling. The study provides a framework for exploration of signaling pathways in human 3D tissue models and with global phosphoproteomics.

Project description:The glycome undergoes characteristic changes during histogenesis and organogenesis, but our understanding of the importance of select glycan structures for tissue formation and homeostasis is incomplete. Here, we present a human organotypic platform that allows genetic dissection of cellular glycosylation capacities and systematic interrogation of the roles of distinct glycan types in tissue formation. We used CRISPR-Cas9 gene targeting to generate a library of 3D organotypic skin tissues that selectively differ in their capacity to produce glycan structures on the main types of Nand O-linked glycoproteins and glycolipids. This tissue library revealed distinct changes in skin formation associated with a loss of features for all tested glycoconjugates. The organotypic skin model provides phenotypic cues for the distinct functions of glycoconjugates, and serves as a unique resource for further genetic dissection and identification of the specific structural features involved. The strategy is also applicable to other organotypic tissue models.

Project description:The blockage of GABA-A ionotropic channels by means of gabazine is a widespread model of plasticity where the increased synaptic activity triggered by Gabazine leads to the up-regulation of a plethora of activity-dependent genes. Here, we sought to characterize the overall transcriptional response of GABA-A blocking of rat hippocampal organotypic cultures. In each of the three biological replica, half of the organotypic hippocampal cultures derived from two rat littermates were treated with gabazine and compared to the untreated ones in order to determine the set of differentially expressed genes.

Project description:Refined cancer models are required to assess the burgeoning number of potential targets for cancer therapeutics within a rapid and clinically relevant context. Here we utilize tumor-associated genetic pathways to transform primary human epithelial cells from epidermis, oropharynx, esophagus, and cervix into genetically defined tumors within an entirely human 3-dimensional (3-D) tissue environment incorporating cell-populated stroma and intact basement membrane (BM). These engineered organotypic tissues recapitulated natural features of tumor progression, including epithelial invasion through the BM, a complex process critically required for biologic malignancy in 90% of human cancers. Invasion was rapid, and potentiated by stromal cells. Oncogenic signals in 3-D tissue, but not 2-D culture, resembled gene expression profiles from spontaneous human cancers. Screening well-characterized signaling pathway inhibitors in 3-D organotypic neoplasia helped distil a clinically faithful cancer gene signature. Multi-tissue 3-D human tissue cancer models may provide an efficient and relevant complement to current approaches to characterize cancer progression. Organotypic human cervical epithium expressing LacZ, cdk4 and Ras, or cdk and Ras with U0126 mediated MEK inhibition were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. There are 2 biologic replicates for each group.

Project description:Organotypic human tissue models constitute promising systems to facilitate drug discovery and development. They allow to maintain native cellular phenotypes and functions, which enables long-term pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies, as well as phenotypic screening. To trace relevant phenotypic changes back to specific targets or signaling pathways, comprehensive proteomic profiling is the gold-standard. A multitude of proteomic workflows have been applied on 3D tissue models to quantify their molecular phenotypes; however, their impact on analytical results and biological conclusions has not been evaluated. Here, we compared the performance of twelve mass spectrometry-based global proteomic workflows that differed in the amount of cellular input, lysis protocols and quantification methods for the analysis of primary human liver spheroids. We find that the different protocols differ majorly in the total number and subcellular compartment bias of identified proteins, which is particularly relevant for the reliable quantification of transporters and drug metabolizing enzymes. However, using a model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, we show that critical disease pathways are robustly identified using a standardized high throughput-compatible workflow based on thermal lysis, even using only individual spheroids (1,500 cells) as input. The results increase the applicability of proteomic profiling to phenotypic screens in organotypic microtissues and provides a scalable platform for deep phenotyping from limited biological material.

Project description:Research of human vocal fold (VF) biology is hampered by several factors. The sensitive microstructure of the VF mucosa is one of them and limits the in vivo research, as biopsies carry the unbearable risk of scarring. A laryngeal organotypic model consisting of VF epithelial cells and VF fibroblasts (VFF) might overcome some of the limitations. Whereas human VFF are available in several forms, availability of VF epithelial cells is scarce. Buccal mucosa might be a good source, as it is easily accessible, and biopsies heal without scarring. For this project we generated organotypic constructs consisting of immortalized human VF fibroblasts and primary human buccal epithelial cells. The constructs (n = 3) were compared to native laryngeal mucosa on a histological and proteomic level. The engineered constructs reassembled into a mucosa-like structure, after a cultivation period of 35 days. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed a multi-layered stratified epithelium, a collagen type IV positive barrier-like structure resembling the basal membrane, and an underlying layer containing VFF. Proteomic analysis revealed a total number of 1961 proteins. Of these, 83.8% were detected in both native VF and constructs, with only 53 proteins having significantly different abundance. 15.3% of detected proteins were identified in native VF mucosa only, most likely due to endothelial, immune and muscle cells within the VF samples, while 0.9% were found only in the constructs. Based on easily available cell sources, we could demonstrate that our organotypic laryngeal mucosa model shares many characteristics with native VF mucosa. It represents a stable and reproducible in vitro model and offers a wide range of possibilities ranging from the exploration of VF biology to the testing of interventions (e.g. drug testing).
