An avian embryo patient-derived xenograft model for preclinical studies of human breast cancers.

ABSTRACT: Lack of preclinical patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cancer models in which to conduct large scale molecular studies seriously impairs the development of effective personalized therapies. We report here on an in vivo concept consisting of implanting human tumor cells in targeted tissues of an avian embryo, delivering therapeutics, evaluating their efficacy by measuring tumors using light sheet confocal microscopy, and conducting large scale RNAseq analysis to characterize therapeutic-induced changes in gene expression. The model was established to recapitulate triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and validated using TNBC standards of care (SOCs) and an investigational therapeutic agent.

Project description:Objective: Monocytes are crucially involved in inflammatory processes. In mice, different subsets of monocytes can be distinguished by the expression of Ly6C, a surface marker that is highly expressed on inflammatory monocytes (Ly6C high) and to a lesser extent on patrolling monocytes (Ly6C low). Our previous study revealed an aggravated accumulation of inflammatory Ly6C high monocytes in atherosclerotic-prone mice bearing a deficiency in suppressor of cytokine signaling (Socs)-1. In the present study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of Socs-1-dependent gene regulation in Ly6C high and Ly6C low monocytes. Methods and Results: Monocyte subsets were isolated from socs-1+/+ rag2‒/‒ ldlr–/‒ and socs-1‒/‒ rag2‒/‒ ldlr-‒/‒ mice with subsequent identification of differential regulated genes using illumina MouseWG-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChip microarrays (45,200 transcripts). Principal component analysis illustrates a distinct separation of gene expression profiles in Ly6C high and especially Ly6C low monocytes from Socs-1 deficient mice. Additionally, microarray data revealed 46 genes to be differentially regulated in a Socs-1 dependent manner in both monocytic subsets by 2-fold or more, some of which were validated by qPCR (p<0.05, n=4-6). Among them, two principal regulators of monocyte differentiation, C-X3-C chemokine receptor 1 (Cx3cr1) and colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (Csf1r), were identified to be Socs-1 dependently regulated. Especially for Csf1r a co-expression network for correlating Socs-1 dependent gene expression and protein interaction could be compiled. Furthermore, in silico analysis of a transcription factor (TF) network correlating with Socs-1 dependent mRNA expression data revealed a cluster of TF that includes Nr4a1 as well as several ets-domain proteins that may interact and thus regulate gene expression, inter alia regression of Csf1r. Conclusion: By genome-wide analysis, we could identify Cx3cr1 and Csf1r as two essential receptors mediating monocyte differentiation that are subjected to Socs-1 dependent transcription factor regulation.
