CD133+ colon cancer cells are more interactive with the tumor microenvironment than CD133- cells

ABSTRACT: CD133-positive colorectal cancer cells exhibit enhanced tumorigenicity over CD133-negative cells. The CD133+ cells are more interactive with and responsive to their stromal microenvironment because they also express the cognate receptors, such as CXCR4, for ligands produced by their neighboring carcinoma-associated fibroblasts, such as SDF-1 (stromal-derived growth factor).

Project description:Direct contact with mesenchymal stromal impacts on migratory behavior and gene expression profile of CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells during ex-vivo expansion Objective: To investigate the impact of direct contact between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in terms of expansion potential differentiation, migratory capacity and gene expression profile. Methods: CD133+ purified HSCs were cultured for 7 days on subconfluent MSCs supplemented with growth factor containing medium. After ex-vivo expansion, non-adherent and adherent cells were collected and analyzed separately. Results: The adherent cells were found to have a more immature phenotype compared to the non-adherent fraction. CXCR4 was up regulated in the adherent fraction which was associated with a higher migration capacity towards a SDF-1 gradient. CFU-GM and LTC-IC assays demonstrated a higher clonogenicity and repopulating capacity of the adherent fraction. Genes involved in adhesion, cell cycle control, motility, self-renewal and apoptosis were expressed at a higher level in the adherent fraction. Conclusion: Adhesion and direct cell-cell contact with a MSC feeder layer supports ex-vivo expansion, migratory potential and stemness of CD133+ HSCs. Keywords: co-culture hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) Non-adherent and adherent fractions from three independent experiments were isolated and collected. Cells were stabilized in PreProtct™ buffer (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and stored at -80ºC. Samples were shipped to Miltenyi Biotec (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) a Whole Human Genome expression analysis. Briefly RNA was extracted and overall quality of total RNA samples was checked via the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer platform (Agilent Technologies). RNA samples were amplified and labelled using the Agilent Low RNA Input Linear Amp Kit (Agilent Technologies). Non-adherent samples were pooled as “Non-adherent pool” and adherent samples were pooled as “adherent pool” and labelled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively. Fluorescence signals of the hybridized Agilent Oligo Microarrays were detected using Agilent’s DNA microarray scanner and the microarray image files were processed with The Agilent Feature Extraction Software (FES).

Project description:In colorectal cancer, increased expression of the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) has been shown to provoke metastatic disease due to the interaction with its ligand stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1). Recently, a second SDF-1 receptor, CXCR7, was found to enhance tumor growth in solid tumors. Albeit signaling cascades via SDF-1/CXCR4 have been intensively studied, the significance of the SDF-1/CXCR7-induced intracellular communication triggering malignancy is still only marginally understood. In tumor tissue of 52 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, we observed that expression of CXCR7 and CXCR4 increased with tumor stage, tumor size, and lymph node infiltration. Asking whether activation of CXCR4 or CXCR7 might result in a similar expression pattern, we performed microarray expression analyses using lentivirally CXCR4- and/or CXCR7-overexpressing SW480 colon cancer cell lines with and without stimulation by SDF-1M-NM-1. Gene regulation via SDF-1M-NM-1/CXCR4 and SDF-1M-NM-1/CXCR7 was completely different and partly antidromic. Expressions of the differentially expressed genes AKR1C3, AXL, EGFR, IGFBP7, IL24, TNNC1, TRIP6 were confirmed by qPCR. Differentially regulated genes were assigned by GO to migration and lipid metabolic processes. Furthermore, using the in silico gene set enrichment analysis we showed for the first time that expressions of miR-217 and miR-218 were increased in CXCR4 and reduced in CXCR7 cells after stimulation with SDF-1M-NM-1. As expected, their putative target mRNAs were inversely expressed. Functional assays exerted that exposure to SDF-1M-NM-1 resulted in strongly amplified invasiveness and chemosensitivity of CXCR4-expressing cells. CXCR7 overexpression led to reduced invasiveness which could only be marginally increased by SDF-1M-NM-1. The CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor significantly reduced invasiveness of CXCR4-overexpressing cells only. Similarly, compared to control cells, CXCR4 cells showed increased sensitivity against 5-FU, while CXCR7 cells were more chemoresistant. These opposing results for CXCR4- or CXCR7-overexpressing colon carcinoma cells demand an unexpected attention in the clinical application of chemokine receptor antagonists like Plerixafor. 24 samples
