Expression data from cancer stem cells derived from colorectal organoids

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by extensive intra-tumor heterogeneity. The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory may explain the mechanisms underlying the non-genetic heterogeneity and their characteristics of prominent plasticity are emerging to be elucidated. By tracking the spheroid formation and growth capacity of CRC CSCs with a single-cell resolution using an organoid culture, we revealed CSCs consisted of subpopulations with a dual (fast and slow)-growing pattern. When isolated, the slow-growing CSCs remained slow-growing and converted into dual-growing CSCs under certain conditions. The slow-growing cells showed low levels of MAP kinase activity and were resistant to a MEK1/2 inhibitor as well as chemo-drugs. The MSI1 gene was down-regulated in the slow-growing CSCs and played a key role in the transition between slow- and dual-growing CSCs. Isolation of slow-growing CSCs will provide a platform to elucidate the role of the plasticity of CSCs in drug resistance and tumor recurrence. To disclose the molecular characteristics of the CSC subclones with the distinct growth features, we analyzed the differentially expressed genes between the subgroups.

Expression data of GFP-high or low cells of LGR5-GFP or KRT20-GFP knock-in human colorectal tumor organoids.

Project description:We analyzed gene expression of 3 lines LGR5-GFP, 2 lines KRT20-GFP knock-in colorectal tumor organdies. The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory highlights a self-renewing subpopulation of cancer cells that fuels tumour growth. The existence of human CSCs is mainly supported by xenotransplantation of prospectively isolated cells, but their clonal dynamics and plasticity remain unclear. Here, we show that human LGR5+ colorectal cancer cells serve as CSCs in growing cancer tissues. Lineage-tracing experiments with a tamoxifen inducible Cre knock-in allele of LGR5 reveal the self-renewal and differentiation capacity of LGR5+ tumour cells. Selective ablation of LGR5+ CSCs in LGR5-iCaspase9 knock-in organoids leads to tumour regression, followed by tumour regrowth driven by re-emerging LGR5+ CSCs. KRT20 knock-in reporter marks differentiated cancer cells that constantly diminish in tumour tissues, while reverting to LGR5+ CSCs and contributing to tumour regrowth after LGR5+ CSC ablation. We also show that combined chemotherapy potentiates LGR5+ CSCs targeting. These data provide insights into the plasticity of CSCs and their potential as a therapeutic target in human colorectal cancer.

Stem cell-associated heterogeneity in Glioblastoma results from intrinsic tumor plasticity shaped by the microenvironment

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been proposed to underlie the hierarchical organization of Glioblastoma (GBM) causing resistance to treatment, however the identity of CSCs in solid tumors remains largely elusive. Here we find that GBM cells expressing cell membrane CSC-associated markers do not represent a clonal entity defined by distinct functional properties and/or transcriptomic profiles, but rather a plastic state that most cancer cells can adopt. We show that phenotypic heterogeneity arises from non-hierarchical, reversible state transitions that are instructed by the microenvironment. While all tested cancer cell subpopulations survive and adjust their phenotype in vivo, their speed of plasticity differs resulting in variable tumor growth rates. Thus CSC-associated phenotypic heterogeneity is a result of stochastic reversible plasticity and increased tumorigenic potential in vivo correlates with fast adapting cell states.

Expression data from CSC and Non-CSC of three HCC cell lines

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the major subtype of liver cancer, characterized with a high rate of recurrence and heterogeneity. Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) may account for a hierarchical organization of heterogeneous cancer cells. However, how liver CSCs sustain their self-renewal remains largely unknown. We used microarrays to discover the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) expression underlying cell stem cell (CSC) and non cell stem cell (non-CSC) and identified distinct lncRNAs during this process. We sorted CD13+CD133+ and CD13-CD133- cells from Hep3B, Huh7, and PLC/PRF/5 HCC cell lines as liver CSCs and non-CSCs, then hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify distinct lncRNAs in liver CSCs.

A Phase I/II Study of Active Immunotherapy With Cancer Stem Cells Vaccine for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Most studies of cancer stem cells (CSC) involve the inoculation of cells from human tumors into immunosuppressed mice, preventing an assessment on the immunologic interactions and effects of CSCs. In this study, the investigators examined the vaccination effects produced by CSC-enriched populations from histologically distinct murine tumors after their inoculation into different syngeneic immunocompetent hosts. Enriched CSCs were immunogenic and more effective as an antigen source than unselected tumor cells in inducing protective antitumor immunity.Immune sera from CSC-vaccinated hosts contained high levels of IgG which bound to CSCs, resulting in CSC lysis in the presence of complement.CTLs generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells or splenocytes harvested from CSC-vaccinated hosts were capable of killing CSCs in vitro. Mechanistic investigations established that CSC-primed antibodies and T cells were capable of selective targeting CSCs and conferring anti-tumor immunity.

Phenotypic plasticity determines cancer stem cell therapeutic resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma I

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive tumour spread and therapeutic resistance, and can undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) to switch between epithelial and post-EMT sub-populations. Examining oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we now show that increased phenotypic plasticity, the ability to undergo EMT/MET, underlies increased CSC therapeutic resistance within both the epithelial and post-EMT sub-populations. The post-EMT CSCs that possess plasticity exhibit particularly enhanced therapeutic resistance and are defined by a CD44highEpCAMlow/-CD24+ cell surface marker profile. Treatment with TGFÎ² and retinoic acid (RA) enabled enrichment of this sub-population for therapeutic testing, through which the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stressor and autophagy inhibitor Thapsigargin was shown to selectively target these cells. Demonstration of the link between phenotypic plasticity and therapeutic resistance, and development of an in vitro method for enrichment of a highly resistant CSC sub-population, provides an opportunity for the development of improved chemotherapeutic agents that can eliminate CSCs. The CA1 OSCC cell line was sub-cloned to derive 4 clonal sub-lines, termed pEMT-P, pEMT-S, Epi-S and Epi-P (here 18, 23, 7 and 4 respectively).

Pregnane X-receptor (PXR/NR1I2) activity is a hallmark of cancer stem cells and drives post-treatment tumor recurrence in colon cancer

Project description:Post-treatment recurrence remains a major clinical challenge in colorectal cancer (CRC), and increasing evidence suggests that Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) may mediate this process due to their enhanced resistance to conventional therapeutics. We hypothesized that the Pregnane-X receptor (PXR) may drive the chemoresistance of colorectal CSCs.. shRNA-mediated PXR down-regulation was used to analyze the role of PXR on self-renewal in the colorectal cancer cell Line LS174T. Expression and activity of PXR were quantified under conditions that promote Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) enrichment. Conversely, CSC characterization was performed in cells enriched along their PXR activity level.

Single-cell RNA-seq of Drosophila neuroblast tumors induced by the knockdown of prospero, E(z) and trx

Project description:COMPASS and Polycomb complexes are antagonistic chromatin complexes that are frequently inactivated in cancers, but how their inactivation affects the cellular hierarchy, composition and growth of tumors is unclear. Such characteristics can be systematically investigated in Drosophila neuroblast tumors in which cooption of temporal patterning induces a developmental hierarchy that confers cancer stem cell (CSC) properties to a subset of neuroblasts retaining an early larval temporal identity. Here, using single-cell transcriptomics, we reveal that the trithorax/MLL1/2-COMPASS-like complex guides the developmental trajectory at the top of the tumor hierarchy. Consequently, trithorax inactivation drives larval-to-embryonic temporal reversion and the dramatic expansion of CSCs that remain locked in a spectrum of early temporal states. Surprisingly, this phenotype is amplified by concomitant inactivation of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 genes, unleashing tumor growth. This study exemplifies how inactivation of specific COMPASS and Polycomb complexes cooperates to impair tumor hierarchies and induce CSC plasticity and heterogeneity.
