Effects of adipocyte-conditioned medium on triple-negative breast cancer cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The disturbance of adipose tissue in obesity highly correlates with cancer progression. To investigate the impacts of obesity on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), we performed an in vitro system culturing TNBC cells with human white adipocytes-conditioned medium (hAd-CM). The gene expression profiling between each condition was then assessed by RNA-seq.
Project description:Bone metastases is a common severe complication for breast cancer. We previously showed that conditioned medium (CM) from osteocytes stimulated with oscillatory fluid flow, mimicking bone mechanical loading during routine physical activities, reduced breast cancer cell extravasation across endothelial monolayers. Endothelial cells are situated at an ideal location to mediate signals between osteocytes in the bone matrix and metastasizing cancer cells in the blood vessels. Therefore, we used RNA sequencing to show that CM from endothelial cells conditioned in CM from flow-stimulated osteocytes significantly altered gene expression in bone-metastatic breast cancer cells. This This provides insights into the capability of bone-loading activity in preventing bone metastases.
Project description:CAAs were generated by co-culturing human adipocytes with a human pancreatic cancer cell line (Panc-1), and exosomes were isolated from the CAA-conditioned medium (CAA-CM). We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using small RNA-seq of three differernt CAA-CMs and normal A-CMs.
Project description:Primary human skeletal muscle cells (Lonza) were treated with LLC1 conditioned medium, LLC1 conditioned medium plus Calcitriol, LLC1 non-conditioned medium or LLC1 non-conditioned medium plus Calcitriol for a period of 24 hours prior to isolation of RNA.
Project description:Conditioned medium (CM) from bone marrow derived macrophages untreated or treated with LPS was collected and filtered through a 0.22-μm filter. The filtered CM was sequentially fractionated with 50-kDa and 100-kDa Amicon filters. The 50–100 kDa fraction of CM was analyzed by mass spectrometry.
Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray to identify changes in gene expression in human MSCs exposed to tumor conditioned medium Human MSC line (hMSC-TERT) was exposed to tumor conditioned medium (CM) from FaDu hypo pharyngeal cancer cell line for 7 day. Subsequently, RNA was extracted using Roche MagNA Pure automated nucleic acid purification system. Control RNA was collected from the same batch of MSCs exposed to normal medium. Extracted RNA was labeled and then hybridized to the one-color Agilent Human GE 4x44K v2 Microarray chip.
Project description:The goal of the experiment was to demonstrate if the overexpression of human-Prune-1 in Triple Negative breast cancer cells induces M2-polarization of macrophages in vitro. For this purpose, murine primary cells from breast tumor developed by Genetically Engineered Mouse Models (GEMMs) of TNBC (i.e., MMTV-Wnt1) and metastatic TNBC overexpressing both human Prune-1 and Wnt1 in mammary gland (i.e., MMTV-Prune-1/Wnt1) were obtained. Conditioned media were collected from these primary cells (1x106 cells) after 24 hours. Murine macrophages (J774A.1 and Raw264.7; 1x106) were starved for six hours and then grown for 48 hours in those conditioned media collected from MMTV-Wnt1 and MMTV-Prune-1/Wnt1 cells. Untreated macrophages were used as negative control for the experiment.
Project description:Malignant melanoma is a complex genetic disease and the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Melanoma progression and metastatic dissemination fundamentally relies on the process of angiogenesis. Melanomas produce an array of angiogenic modulators that mediate pathological angiogenesis. Such tumor-associated modulators arbitrate the enhanced proliferative, survival and migratory responses exhibited by endothelial cells, in the hypoxic tumor environment. The current study focuses on melanoma-induced survival of endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions. Melanoma conditioned media were capable of enabling prolonged endothelial cell survival under hypoxia, in contrast with the conditioned media derived from melanocytes, breast and pancreatic tumors. To identify the global changes in gene expression and further characterize the pro-survival pathway induced in endothelial cells, we performed microarray analysis on endothelial cells treated with melanoma conditioned medium under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Huvec cells were grown in melanoma conditioned medium or DMEM 10% FCS for 12 h under hypoxic or normoxic conditions. In order to identify the transcripts modulated by melanoma CM, samples treated with MCM were compared to those grown in DMEM alone.
Project description:Conditioned medium (CM) and extracellular vesicles (EV) from human Adipose-derived Stem/stromal cells (ASC) and Dermal fibroblasts (DF) can represent valid cell substitutes in regenerative medicine and other therapeutic applications. Whether one of the two cell products should be preferred over the other is still under debate and no direct comparison of their proteome has been reported yet. Here, we apply a comprehensive quantitative proteomics approach to explore the protein composition of conditioned medium and EV obtained from the two cell types. We identified 1977 proteins by LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis. Unsupervised clustering analysis and PCA clearly distinguished CM and EV as separate groups, regardless the cell source. We identified 68 and 201 proteins that were more abundant or exclusively detectable in CM and EV, respectively. CM were enriched in proteins of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, whereas EV contained a large amount of GTPases, ribosome and translation-related factors. Moreover, the analysis of ASC and DF secretomes (both CM and EV) revealed the presence of cell type-specific factors. ASC-CM and -EV carried factors involved in ECM organization (hyaluronan and glycosaminoglycan metabolism) and immunological regulation (e.g. macrophage and IkB/NFkB signaling regulation), respectively. On the other hand, DF-CM and –EV were both enriched in epithelium development associated factors, whilst DF-CM in proteins involved in cellular processes regulation and -EV in Wnt signaling factors. In conclusion, this comprehensive proteomic analysis of the secretome components of ASC and DF, provides evidence of a different protein composition between CM and EV and of the presence of cell type-specific bioactive mediators suggesting their specific future use as advanced therapy medicinal products.
