Project description:Macrophages form a primary immune cells population in tumor tissues and malignant ascites microenvironment (MAM). They can be activated and polarized into tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) by the embedded environment and promote tumor progression and metastasis However, the molecular mechanisms of MAM in macrophage polarization and the effects on epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) metastatic progression remain elusive. Here, we found that that MAM modulates RhoA-GTPase-F-actin-Hippo signaling cascade in facilitating M2-like macrophage polarization that, in turn, promotes tumor dissemination. PUFA enriched magligant ascites microenvironment promote macrophage lipid oxidative phosphorylation and supression RhoA-GTPase-Yap1 axis. Genetic ablation Yap1 in macrophage exhibited M2-like polarization and enhanced ovrian tumor dissemination. Pharmacology inhibit Mst1/2 could rescue M2-like TAM polarization in MAM and alter the lipid oxidation of macrophages in MAM, more importantly, inhibit ovarian metastatic properties. Through comparasion primary TAM (P-TAM) and metastasis TAM (M-TAM), we proved that Hippo-Yap1 siganl results M-TAM with high M2/M1 ratio. These findings implicate critical functions of PUFA modulate RhoA-Hippo axis in facility TAM polarization and also suggest manipulation of PUFA metabolism or RhoA-Hippo siganl as a therapeutic strategy aganist EOC metastasis.

Project description:Previously, we designed pharmacologically optimized inhibitor RHOA, a major signaling hub in gastric cancer (GC), the fourth most common cause of death in the world. Here, based on that previous work, we perform the lead optimization and design new RHOA inhibitors for greater anti-GC potency. Two of these compounds, JK-206 and -312 inhibit cell viability and migration of GC cell lines. Furthermore, through our transcriptomics analysis of JK-206 treatment in GC cells, we revealed that pharmacologic inhibition of RHOA was associated with inhibition of mitogenic pathway, including BIRC5. Thus, RHOA→BIRC5 can be regarded as a new therapeutic strategy in GC, possibly regulating proliferation and migration in oncogenic mechanisms.

Project description:Large-scale sequencing of RNAs from individual cells can reveal patterns of gene, isoform and allelic expression across cell types and states. However, current single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods have limited ability to count RNAs at allele- and isoform resolution, and long-read sequencing techniques lack the depth required for large-scale applications across cells. Here, we introduce Smart-seq3 that combines full-length transcriptome coverage with a 5’ unique molecular identifier (UMI) RNA counting strategy that enabled in silico reconstruction of thousands of RNA molecules per cell. Importantly, a large portion of counted and reconstructed RNA molecules could be directly assigned to specific isoforms and allelic origin, and we identified significant transcript isoform regulation in mouse strains and human cell types. Moreover, Smart-seq3 showed a dramatic increase in sensitivity and typically detected thousands more genes per cell than Smart-seq2. Altogether, we developed a short-read sequencing strategy for single-cell RNA counting at isoform and allele-resolution applicable to large-scale characterization of cell types and states across tissues and organisms.

Project description:Rho family small GTPases serve as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, gene transcription, and cell proliferation. Importantly, Rho overexpression is frequently seen in many carcinomas. However, published studies have almost invariably utilized immortal or tumorigenic cell lines to study Rho GTPase functions and there are no studies on the potential of Rho small GTPase to overcome senescence checkpoints and induce preneoplastic transformation of human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs). We found that ectopic expression of wild-type RhoA as well as a constitutively-active RhoA mutant (G14V) in primary hMEC strains led to their immortalization and preneoplastic transformation. Significantly, RhoA-T37A mutant, known to be incapable of interacting with many well known Rho-effectors ,was also capable of immortalizing hMECs.Our results demonstrate that RhoA can induce the preneoplastic transformation of hMECs by altering multiple pathways linked cellular transformation and breast cancer. Through microarray analysis, we want to identify genes and pathways linked to RhoA induced hMECs immortalization. Experiment Overall Design: 4 samples, in triplicate analyses per sample.

Project description:Using mice with a keratinocyte-restricted deletion of the RhoA gene, we explored its role in the regulation of gene expression in vivo and in vitro RNA was isolated from RhoA-null or wildtype keratinocytes, in two different conditions, freshly isolated (in vivo) or cultured (in vitro), using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Germany). Hybridization to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) was carried out at the Copenhagen University Hospital Microarray Center using standard protocols. 2 biological replicates were analyzed for each in vivo genotype (2 samples from RhoA-null, 2 from wildtype), while 3 replicates for each in vitro genotype.

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages are functionally diverse cells that share an embryonic mesodermal origin. However, the mechanism(s) that control their specification remain unclear. We performed transcriptional, molecular and in situ spatio-temporal analyses of macrophage development in mice. We report that Erythro-Myeloid Progenitors generate pre-macrophages (pMacs) that simultaneously colonize the head and caudal embryo from embryonic day (E)9.5 in a chemokine-receptor dependent manner, to further differentiate into tissue F4/80+ macrophages. The core macrophage transcriptional program initiated in pMacs, is rapidly diversified in early macrophages as expression of transcriptional regulators becomes tissue-specific. For example, the preferential expression of the transcriptional regulator Id3 initiated in early fetal liver macrophages appears critical for Kupffer cell differentiation, as inactivation of Id3 causes a selective Kupffer cell deficiency that persists in adults. We propose that colonization of developing tissues by differentiating macrophages is immediately followed by their specification as they establish residence, hereby generating the macrophage diversity observed in post-natal tissues.

Project description:The small GTPase RhoA regulates a variety of cellular processes, including cell motility, proliferation, survival and permeability. In addition, there are reports suggesting that the RhoA-ROCK axis plays a role in VEGF-mediated angiogenesis, whereas other work has shown opposite effects. To elucidate this conflicting data, we examined HUVEC and HCAEC after stable overexpression (lentiviral transduction) of constitutively active (G14V/Q63L), dominant-negative (T19N), or wild-type RhoA using a variety of in vitro angiogenesis assays (proliferation, migration, tube formation, angiogenic sprouting, endothelial cell viability) and a HUVEC xenograft assay in immune incompetent NSGTM mice in vivo. We observed that expression of active as well as wild-type RhoA but not expression of dominant-negative RhoA significantly increased endothelial cell death as well as inhibited endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation and angiogenic sprouting of endothelial cells in vitro and reduced HUVEC-related angiogenesis in vivo. Inhibition of RhoA by C3 transferase antagonized inhibitory RhoA effects and strongly enhanced VEGF-induced angiogenic sprouting in control-treated cells. In contrast, inhibition of RhoA effectors ROCK1/2 and LIMK1/2 had no significant effect on RhoA-related effects, but again increased angiogenic sprouting and migration of control-treated cells. In line with these data, VEGF did not activate RhoA in HUVEC as measured by a FRET-based biosensor. Furthermore, global transcriptome and subsequent bioinformatic gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses revealed that constitutively active RhoA induces a differentially expressed gene pattern that is enriched for GO biological process terms such as mitotic nuclear division, cell proliferation, cell motility and cell adhesion and includes a significant decrease in VEGFR-2 and NOS3 expression. Thus, our data demonstrate that increased RhoA activity has the potential to trigger endothelial dysfunction and anti-angiogenic effects independently of its well-characterized downstream effectors ROCK and LIMK.
