Project description:We established murine fallopian tube epithelial organoids from a B6J.129(B6N)-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(CAG-cas9*,-EGFP)Fezh/J mouse. Subsequently, we knocked out Trp53 by introducing sgRNA into the organoids, nutlin-3 selection, and single-organoid cloning. The Trp53-knocked organoids grew faster than the normal organoids. We also analyzed the transcriptomic differences caused by Trp53-knockout by RNA-sequencing and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), which indicated that Trp53-knockout reduced cilium-related gene expression. In human HGSC precancerous lesions, such as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), differentiation to ciliated cells has been reported to be down-regulated; therefore, the genetic manipulation was supposed to mimic the process of carcinogenesis of HGSC.

Project description:The fallopian tubes are essential to several physiological and pathological processes from pregnancy to ovarian cancer. However, current in vitro models to study their pathophysiology were validated using two-dimensional (2D) tissue sections and measuring the organoid response to female hormone stimulation. These analyses overlook the 3D heterogeneity of the tissue and the fallopian tube mechanical function (transport of an oocyte). We developed a multi-compartment organoid model of the human fallopian tube that was meticulously tuned to reflect the compartmentalization and heterogeneity of the tissue composition. We validated the proteome, cilia-driven transport function, and architectural accuracy of this organoid through a novel platform wherein organoids are quantitatively compared to a 3D single-cell resolution reference map of a healthy, transplantation-quality human fallopian tube. This organoid model was precision-engineered using our iterative platform to resemble the cellular and extracellular proteome, biological function, and 3D microanatomy of the human fallopian tube.

Project description:We report the establishment of a stable 3D in vitro organoid culture procedure from human fallopian tube samples and confirming experimentally the existence of adult stem cells in this epithelial tissue. Long term growth and the differentiation of the organoids depend on the interplay between the paracrine signaling pathways Wnt, NOTCH and BMP, since R spondin 1 and Wnt3a are required for preservation of stemness in concert with continuous suppression of TGF-beta activity. Microarray analysis revealed that inhibition of NOTCH signaling by the gamma-secretase inhibitor DBZ leads to down-regulation of a gene cluster associated with pluripotency, as the adult stem cell signature is significantly enriched in the list of downregulated targets. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations on Agilent human whole genome catalog 44K arrays. To compensate for dye-specific effects, a dye-reversal color-swap was applied.

Project description:Background. Fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells (FTSECs) have been implicated as a cell-of-origin for high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer. However, there are relatively few in vitro models of this tissue type available for use in studies of FTSEC biology and malignant transformation. In vitro three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models aim to recreate the architecture and geometry of tissues in vivo and restore the complex network of cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions that occur throughout the surface of the cell membrane. Results. We have established and characterized 3D spheroid culture models of primary FTSECs. FTSEC spheroids contain central cores of hyaline matrix surrounded by mono- or multi-layer epithelial sheets. We found that 3D culturing alters the molecular characteristics of FTSECs compared to 2D cultures of the same cells. Gene expression profiling identified more than a thousand differentially expressed genes between 3D and 2D cultures of the same FTSEC lines. Pathways significantly under-represented in 3D FTSEC cultures were associated with cell cycle progression and DNA replication. This was also reflected in the reduced proliferative indices observed in 3D spheroids stained for the proliferation marker MIB1. Comparisons with gene expression profiles of fresh fallopian tube tissues revealed that 2D FTSEC cultures clustered with follicular phase tubal epithelium, whereas 3D FTSEC cultures clustered with luteal phase samples. Conclusions. This 3D model of fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells will advance our ability to study the underlying biology and etiology of fallopian tube tissues and the pathogenesis of high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer. 3 primary FTSEC lines were plated in 2D, or in 3D on polyHEMA coated plates

Project description:We generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from healthy individuals and young ovarian cancer patients with germline pathogenic BRCA1 mutations. We then differentiate them into a human iPSC-derived fallopian tube organoid model. We recapitulated BRCA1 mutant ovarian carcinogenesis in vitro and showed tumors in vivo. Using the IPSC derived fallopian tube organoid model, we identify a unique transcriptional profile associated with BRCA1 mutation similar to the ovarian cancer profile.

Project description:If the fallopian tube is the origin of serous cancer, one possible mechanism for the evolution of cancer is a dysregulation of indigenous stem cells. We therefore set out to clone the stem cells of the human fallopian tube using methods to clone columnar epithelial stem cells such as human intestinal stem cells. Using this method, we were able to generate clones of fallopian tube stem cells that contain many small, undifferentiated cells. These stem cell clones show strong and consistent staining with markers of fallopian tube epithelial cells (PAX8). We also established an air-liquid interface culture system to differentiate fallopian tube stem cell to both ciliated cells and non-ciliated cells.

Project description:Fallopian tube epithelium is the tissue-of-origin of most high grade serous papillary ovarian carcinoma. This tumor has been exensively investigated and sequenced but expression profiling data of normal fallopian tube epithelial cells is still rare. This project compares the miRNA profiles of high grade serous papillary ovarian tumors (FFPE and fresh frozen) to that of normal unmatched epithelial cells from resected fallopian tubes.

Project description:Chronic infections of the Fallopian tubes with Chlamydia trachomatis (Ctr) can cause scarring and inflammation and can lead to infertility. Here we describe a model of human fallopian tube organoids for chronic Ctr infection. Interestingly, the normal human cells respond to infection with an active expulsion of the bacteria from the apical side of the epithelium and compensatory cellular proliferation clearly demonstrating a role of epithelial homeostasis in the defense against this infectious agent. Upon progression of the infected culture for over 9 months, the population of epithelial cells underwent a permanent shift towards a less differentiated state. LIF signaling is an essential feature, regulating stemness in the tube and organoid formation, and is activated in response to Ctr. Hallmarks of an organoid infection include a relative increase of secretory cells, expansion of the CD24+ positive population, upregulation of SPP1 factor, as well as downregulation of HOXA4 and HOXA5 homeobox genes. Moreover, Ctr increases hypermethylation of DNA in polycomb repressed genomic regions, an indicator of accelerated molecular aging. This infection model reveals an intriguing link between Ctr and regulation of the host epigenome and suggests that this pathogen has a long-term impact on the interaction of the epithelium with the microenviroment. These permanent changes in the epithelium may be a contributing factor in the development of tubal pathologies, including the development of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

Project description:Underdeveloped lungs are the primary cause of death in premature infants, however, little is known about stem and progenitor cell maintenance during human lung development. In this study, we have identified that FGF7, Retinoic Acid and CHIR-99021, a small molecule that inhibits GSK3 to activate Wnt signaling, support in vitro maintenance of primary human fetal lung bud tip progenitor cells in a progenitor state. Furthermore, these factors are sufficient to derive a population of human bud tip-like progenitor cells in 3D organoid structures from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC). Functional studies showed that hPSC-derived bud tip progenitor organoids do not contain any mesenchymal cell types, maintain multilineage potential in vitro and are able to engraft into the airways of injured mice and respond to systemic factors. We performed RNA-sequencing to assess the degree of similarity in global gene expression profiles between the full human fetal lung (59-127 days gestation), isolated human fetal bud tip progenitors, organoids grown from primary fetal bud tip progenitors, and hPSC-derived bud tip organoids. Results showed that hPSC-derived organoids have molecular profiles similar to organoids generated from primary human fetal lung tissue. Gene expression differences between hPSC-derived bud tip organoids and fetal progenitor organoids may be related to the presence of contaminating mesenchymal cells in primary cultures. hPSC-derived bud tip organoids are generated from a well-defined human cell sources, offering a distinct advantage over rare primary tissue as a means to study human specific lung development, homeostasis and disease.<br>Sample Nomenclature - Description<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Peripheral fetal lung the distal/peripheral portion of the fetal lung (i.e., distal 0.5 cm) was excised from the rest of the lung using a scalpel.
