Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into endothelial cells; however, the mechanisms underlying this process in the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain elusive. This study shows that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a key cytokine present in the TME, promotes the endothelial differentiation of MSCs by inducing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) gene expression. EGR1 is a member of the zinc-finger transcription factor family induced by TNF-α. Our findings indicate that EGR1 directly binds to the VEGFR2 promoter and transactivates VEGFR2 expression. We also demonstrate that EGR1 forms a complex with c-JUN activated by c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) to promote VEGFR2 transcription and endothelial differentiation in MSCs in response to TNF-α stimulation. The shRNA-mediated silencing of EGR1 or c-JUN abrogates TNF-α-induced VEGFR2 transcription and the endothelial differentiation of MSCs. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that the JNK-EGR1 signaling axis plays a crucial role in the TNF-α-induced endothelial differentiation of MSCs in the TME, which could be a potential therapeutic target for solid tumors vasculatures.

Project description:Carcinoma-associated mesenchymal stem cells (CA-MSCs) are critical stromal progenitor cells within the tumor microenvironment. We previously demonstrated that CA-MSCs differentially express BMP genes, promote tumor cell growth, increase cancer ‘stemness’ and chemotherapy resistance. Here we use RNA sequencing of normal omental MSCs and ovarian CA-MSCs to demonstrate CA-MSCs have global changes in gene expression. Using these expression profiles we create a unique predictive algorithm to classify CA-MSCs. Our classifier, accurately distinguishes normal omental, ovary and bone marrow MSCs from ovarian cancer CA-MSCs. Suggesting broad applicability, the model correctly classifies pancreatic and endometrial cancer CA-MSCs and distinguishes cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from CA-MSCs. Using this classifier, we definitively demonstrate ovarian CA-MSCs arise from tumor mediated reprograming of local tissue MSCs. While cancer cells alone cannot induce a CA-MSC phenotype, the in vivo ovarian tumor micoenvironment (TME) can reprogram omental or ovary MSCs to protumorigenic CA-MSC (classifier score of >0.96). In vitro studies suggest that both tumor secreted factors and hypoxia are critical to induce the CA-MSC phenotype. Interestingly, while the breast cancer TME can reprogram BM MSCs into CA-MSCs, the ovarian TME cannot, demonstrating for the first time that tumor mediated CA-MSC conversion is tissue and cancer type dependent. Together these findings (1) provide a critical tool to define CA-MSCs and (2) highlight cancer cell influence on distinct normal tissues providing powerful insights into the mechanisms underlying cancer specific metastatic niche formation.

Project description:G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have diverse roles in physiological processes, including immunity. Gs-coupled GPCRs increase while Gi-coupled ones decrease intracellular cAMP. Previous studies suggest that, in epithelial cells, Gs-coupled GPCRs enhance whereas Gi-coupled GPCRs suppress pro-inflammatory immune responses. In order to examine the issue, we chose beta2 adrenergic receptor and GPR40 as representatives of Gs- and Gi- coupled GPCRs, respectively, and examined their effects on TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma-(TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma) induced gene expression by HaCaT. We used microarrays to detail the global changes of gene expression induced by a beta2 adrenergic receptor agonist terbutaline or GPR40 agonist GW9508 pre-treatment in TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma - stimulated HaCaT cells. HaCaT cells were pre-treated with terbutaline or GW9508, TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma were then added, and cultured for another 24 h. Cells were then used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to clarify changes in gene expression after 1) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma, 2) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + terbutaline, and 3) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + GW9508 treatment. To this end, we set 4 groups of samples; 1) unstimulated group, 2) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma-stimulated group, 3) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + terbutaline-stimulated group, and 4) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + GW9508-stimulated group. In each group, HaCaT cells were stimulated in triplicate wells (n=3).

Project description:Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be acquired from medical waste. MSCs are easily expanded and have multiple functions, including anti-inflammatory effects. We evaluated the effects of human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) and umbilical cord tissue-derived MSCs (UC-MSC) in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse model. Methods: Human AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs (1 × 106 cells) were injected intravenously into a 7-day DSS-induced colitis model. The therapeutic effects of cell origin, injection timing, and supernatants obtained from MSC cultures were evaluated. We also analyzed mRNA expression in MSCs, tissues, and intestinal flora. Results: AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs had strong anti-inflammatory effects when injected on day 3 in a mouse model. On day 11, mRNA levels of inflammatory factors in colon tissues were significantly decreased after injection of MSCs on day 3. Supernatants from MSCs culture decreased mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor (Tnf)-α, but had reduced therapeutic effects compared with MSC cell injection. RNA sequencing using colon tissues obtained the day after cell injection revealed changes in the TNF-α/nuclear factor-κB and T-cell receptor signaling pathways. Additional analyses showed that several factors, including chromosome 10 open reading frame 54, stanniocalcin-1, and TNF receptor superfamily member 11b were increased in MSCs after adding serum from DSS colitis mice. Furthermore, both AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs maintained the balance of intestinal flora. Conclusion: AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs showed therapeutic effects against inflammation after early cell injection while maintaining the intestinal flora. Although supernatants showed therapeutic effects, cell injection was more effective against inflammation.

Project description:Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common pathological condition associated with low back pain. Recent evidence suggests that MSCs promote IVD regeneration, but underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. One postulated mechanism is via modulation of macrophage phenotypes. MSCs encounter drastic declines in oxygen tension when injected into the avascular IVD; thus, understanding how oxygen tension affects interactions between MSCs and macrophages may offer clues as to how MSCs act therapeutically. We investigated how conditioned medium (CM) derived from MSCs cultured in hypoxia altered macrophage subsets. We cultured human, bone marrow-derived STRO3+ MSCs in hypoxia or normoxia, and collected CM. We then cultured human bone marrow-derived macrophages with IFN-y, followed by either hypoxic or normoxic STRO3+ MSC CM. We also cultured macrophages in hypoxic MSC CM in the presence of IL-4 and collected cells for scRNA-seq analyses. Bioinformatic analyses confirmed multiple macrophage subpopulations. We first performed comparative analyses between macrophages cultured in hypoxic and normoxic MSC CM. Integration of these data sets showed large overlap between macrophage subsets; however, we identified a unique hypoxic MSC CM-induced macrophage cluster. Gene Ontogeny (GO) analyses revealed enrichment in IL-10, Ccl5/Ccr5, G alpha (i) Signaling, and Rho GTPases within this unique cluster. To determine if factors from MSC CM simulated effects of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4, we integrated the data from macrophages cultured in hypoxic MSC CM with and without IL-4 addition. Integration of these data sets showed considerable overlap, demonstrating that hypoxic MSC CM simulates the effects of IL-4. Interestingly, macrophages cultured in normoxic MSC CM in the absence of IL-4 did not significantly contribute to the unique cluster within our comparison analyses and showed differential TGF-β signaling; thus, normoxic conditions did not approximate IL-4. In addition, TGF-β neutralization partially limited the effects of MSC CM. Our study identifies a unique macrophage subset induced by MSCs within hypoxic conditions, and supports that MSCs alter macrophage phenotypes through TGF-β-dependent mechanisms

Project description:One of strategies to regenerate cartilage defect is transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Improvements of therapeutic potential of MSCs are needed to achieve successful cartilage regeneration by transplantation of a limited number of cells. Aggregated culture is a popular method in ES and iPS cells to maintain or enhance their potentials. Here we investigated gene expression profile of aggregated MSCs. 621 genes were up-regulated and 409 genes were down-regulated more than 5-fold in MSC-aggregates compared with the number in MSCs in a monolayer culture. The most up-regulated gene was BMP2, which is one of the genes involved in chondrogenesis. Anti-inflammatory genes were also up-regulated in MSC-aggregates. The microarray data for selected genes were confirmed by real-time PCR. Human synovial MSCs was isolated from synovium of 3 distinct donors. The gene expression profile of MSC-aggregates cultured in hanging drop for 3days was compared with that of MSCs in a monolayer culture.
