Cancer cell sedimentation in 3D cultures reveals active migration regulated by self-generated gradients and adhesion sites

ABSTRACT: Cell sedimentation in 3D culture environments refers to the vertical migration of cells towards the bottom of the space. This occurs despite the use of hydrogel materials in 3D cell cultures, which would be expected to prevent this behavior. To better understand and explain these experimental observations, we conducted a multiscale experimental and mathematical examination of 3D cancer growth and sedimentation in triple negative breast cancer cells. The migration of cells towards the bottom was examined in the presence and absence of the migrastatic drug Paclitaxel, as well as in a low adhesion environment and the presence of fibroblasts. The observed behaviour was modeled mathematically by hypothesizing self-generated chemotactic gradients. Our results reveal that active migration mechanisms, specifically collective migration regulated by the MAPK and TGF-β pathways, play an important role in sedimentation. The mathematical model was able to describe the experimental data in the absence and presence of Paclitaxel, suggesting the inhibition of random motion and advection mechanism in the latter case. Low adhesion environment and multiple cell type experiments resulted in an inhibition of sedimentation. Overall, our results suggest that cells, initially uniformly distributed in the 3D space, actively migrate towards the bottom due to the presence of signals produced by cells already attached to it, providing mechanistic insights into this unexpected behavior.

Effect of RBN-2397, paclitaxel and their combination on ovarian cancer cell biology.

Project description:PARP7 (TiPARP), a mono (ADP-ribosyl) transferase (MART) was found to target α-tubulin proteins in ovarian cancer cells, enhancing their growth and migration. RBN-2397 is a potent inhibitor that selectively acts on PARP7. Here, we show that RBN-2397 treatment leads to the stabilization of microtubules in ovarian cancer cells, namely α-tubulin, mimicking what was previously observed with PARP7 knockdown. When treated with RBN-2397, we observe a decrease in growth and migration of ovarian cancer cells and, interestingly, the effect is intensified upon adding the microtubule stabilizing chemotherapeutic agent, paclitaxel. Mutating the site of α-tubulin MARylation by PARP7 similarly results in α-tubulin stabilization and decreased cell migration in the presence of paclitaxel when the tubulin network is further stabilized. In sum, we demonstrate that PARP7 inhibition decreases α-tubulin MARylation resulting in its stabilization, and ultimately leading to decreased ovarian cancer cell proliferation and migration. Finally, we show that combining PARP7 inhibitor and paclitaxel results in a more robust inhibition of aggressive ovarian cancer phenotypes. Collectively, this study highlights the potential of targeting PARP7 in combination with established chemotherapeutic agents to enhance treatment efficacy for ovarian cancer.

Bistability in the Rac1, PAK and RhoA signalling network is a feature of cell motility.

Project description:Dynamic interactions between RhoA and Rac1, members of the Rho small GTPase family, play a vital role in the control of cell migration. Using predictive mathematical modelling and experimental validation in MDA-MB-231 mesenchymal breast cancer cells, we show that Rac1 and RhoA interactions via the PAK-family kinases can produce bistable, switch-like responses to a graded PAK inhibition. Using a small chemical inhibitor of PAK we confirm the model conjecture demonstrating that cellular RhoA and Rac activation levels respond in a bistable manner to PAK inhibition where for a given inhibition level these levels are high or low depending on the history of the system. Consequently, we show that downstream signalling, actin dynamics and cell migration also behave in a bistable fashion, displaying abrupt switches and hysteresis in response to PAK inhibition. In summary, our results demonstrate that PAK is a critical component in the Rac1-RhoA inhibitory crosstalk that mediates bistable GTPase activity and cell migration switches.

Inhibition of the mTOR pathway and reprogramming of protein synthesis by MDM4 reduce ovarian cancer metastatic properties.

Project description:Background: The expression of MDM4, a well-known p53-inhibitor, is positively associated with chemotherapy response and overall survival in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The basis of this association remains elusive. Since the occurrence of metastasis is one of the factors responsible for the high death rate of this cancer, we analyzed MDM4 involvement in EOC metastatic process. Methods: In vivo and in vitro models, based on 2D and 3D assays, were employed to assess the activity of MDM4 in ovarian cancer progression. A 3D-bioprinting co-culture system was ad hoc developed for this study. Proteomic analysis was conducted on 3D multicellular tumour spheroids to assess pathways triggered by MDM4 overexpression. Results: In mouse models, increased MDM4 reduced intraperitoneal dissemination of human and murine EOC cells, independently of p53 and in a cell-autonomous way. Consistently, high MDM4 correlates with increased overall survival probability in large public data sets. 2D and 3D assays indicated that MDM4 impairs the early steps of the metastatic process. The 3D-bioprinting co-culture system showed reduced dissemination and intravasation into vessel-like structures of MDM4-expressing cells. Proteomic analysis of EOC spheroids revealed that MDM4 reduces protein synthesis and decreases mTOR signaling. Accordingly, MDM4 did not further inhibit EOC cell migration when its activity towards mTOR is blocked genetically or pharmacologically. Conversely, increased MDM4 reduced the efficacy of mTOR inhibitors in constraining EOC cell migration. Conclusions: Overall, these data clarify the antagonism of MDM4 towards EOC progression and suggest the usefulness of MDM4 assessment for tailored application of mTOR targeted therapy.

Analysis of RNA distribution between pseudopodia and cell bodies in response to Fibronectin

Project description:The goal of the study was to identify on a genome-wide scale RNAs that are enriched at the leading edge of migrating cells. For this, we employed a fractionation method in which cells are plated on a microporous filter whose bottom side only is coated with fibronectin. The cells thus polarize and extend pseudopodial protrusions towards the bottom surface. These protruding pseudopodia can then be physically isolated from the bottom surface of the filter and their contents compared with the remaining cell bodies, which are isolated from the upper surface of the filter. Keywords: comparative RNA distribution

Transcriptomic and nuclear architecture of immune cells after LPS-activation

Project description:Changes in the nuclear positioning of specific genes, depending on their expression status, have been observed in a large diversity of physiological processes. However, gene position is poorly documented in immune cells subjected to activation upon bacterial infection. Using the pig as a model organism, we focused our study on monocytes-derived macrophages and neutrophils, the first lines of defense against pathogens. We examine whether changes in gene expression due to LPS-activation imply genes repositioning in the nuclear space. A transcriptomic analysis was first performed to identify the genes differentially expressed and analyse the networks implicated during LPS-IFNγ activation in monocytes-derived macrophages. This allowed us to select 4 up-regulated (IL1β, IL8, CXCL10 and TNFα) and 4 down-regulated (VIM, LGALS3, TUBA3, and IGF2) genes to be further studied by 3D-FISH for their behavior in the nuclear space, particularly towards their chromosome territories (CT) during macrophages activation. Among the 4 up-regulated genes, 3 changed their position during the activation process while the 4 down-regulated ones did not. The analysis of gene behaviors towards their CT was extended to neutrophils for 3 up- and 2 down-regulated genes and similar results were obtained. Our data suggest that relocation in the nuclear space of genes differentially expressed in activated immune cells is gene specific and concern mostly up-regulated ones. Porcine monocyte-derived macrophages: Control vs. LPS-IFNγ activated vs. T-2 toxin/LPS-IFNγ activated. A common reference hybridization scheme was used to compare the three-condition experiment, CM vs. AM vs. TAM. The reference consisted of a pool of RNA from all samples. Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 LPS-IFNγ activated, 5 T-2 toxin/LPS-IFNγ activated independently. One replicate per array.
