Functional heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts from human colon tumors shows specific prognostic gene expression signature

ABSTRACT: Tumor growth and metastasis is controlled by paracrine signaling between cells of the tumor microenvironment and malignant cells. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), are functionally important components of the tumor microenvironment. Although some steps involved in the cross-talk between these cells are known, there is still a lot that is not clear. Thus, the addition of, the consideration of microenvironment in the development of the disease, to the clinical and pathological procedures (currently admitted as the consistent value cancer treatments) could lay the foundations for the development of new treatment strategies to control the disease.

Primary CAF cultures from 15 primary human colon tumors were established Their purity was evaluated by the expression of various epithelial and myofibroblast specific markers Co-culture assays of primary CAFs with different colon tumor cells were performed to evaluate pro-migratory CAF-derived effects on cancer cells CAF gene expression profiles were analyzed by microarray to identify deregulated genes in different pro-migratory CAFs

Changes in gut microbiome composition drive fentanyl intake and striatal proteomic changes

Project description:Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a public health crisis currently being exacerbated by increases in use of fentanyl; therefore, the identification of novel biomarkers and treatment strategies is critical. Here, we define how manipulations of the gut microbiome drive fentanyl intake, fentanyl seeking, and alter proteomic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens. These findings establish clear relevance for gut-brain signaling in OUD, and lay foundations for further translational work in this space.

Development of an immune-related prognostic biomarker for triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer represents approximately 15–20% of all reported breast cancer cases, and is characterized by a shorter survival time and higher mortality rates compared to other breast cancer sub-types. Tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the internal and external environment of tumor tissue. Increasing evidence indicates that a tumor’s microenvironment is tightly associated with the immunological surveillance and defense during the development of breast cancer. Although oncology studies employing digital dissection methodologies have provided some insight on the biological features of TME, the development of methods to investigate the cellular composition of the tumor microenvironment remain an important research priority. In this study, we extracted whole transcriptome from 30 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and then used bioinformatics approaches to characterize cell type content in tumor tissue compared with para-cancerous tissue. We identified 4 types of enriched immune cells and 6 types of downregulated immune cells in the tumor tissue samples. After comprehensive bioinformatics analyses, we developed an ‘immune infiltration score’ (IIS) to quantitatively model immune cell infiltration in TNBC. To demonstrate the utility of the IIS, we used 2 independent datasets for validation. We found that patients with a higher IIS showing a longer progression-free survival time and significantly better prognosis than those with a lower IIS value. In sum, we explored the immune infiltration landscape in 30 TNBC patients and provided a novel and reliable biomarker IIS to evaluate the progression-free survival and prognosis in the TNBC patients.

Systematic comparison of RNA-seq pipelines for absolute and relative gene expression quantification

Project description:At present, it is admitted that RNA-seq is a more powerful and adaptable technique than hybridization arrays. Nevertheless, as RNA-seq needs a more complex data analysis, it has generated a lot of research on algorithms and workflows. This has resulted in an exponential increase of the options at each step of the analysis. Consequently, there is no clear consensus on the appropriate algorithms and pipelines that should be used to analyse RNA-seq data. In the present study, 192 pipelines on 18 samples from 2 human cell lines were evaluated. Absolute gene expression quantification was assessed by non-parametric statistics to measure precision and accuracy. Relative gene expression performance was estimated testing 19 differential expression methods. These results were contrasted in parallel with the microarray HTA 2.0 data from Affymetrix using the same set of samples. All procedures were validated by qRT-PCR on 32 genes in all samples. In addition, this study proposes a new statistical approach for precision and accuracy evaluation on real RNA-seq data. It also weights up the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithms and pipelines tested and gives a guide to select the appropriate pipeline to analyse RNA-seq and microarray data.

Targeting the NF-κB pathway enhances responsiveness of mammary tumors to JAK inhibitors

Project description:Interactions between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment are critical for tumor growth, progression, and response to therapy. Effective targeting of oncogenic signaling pathways in tumors requires an understanding of how these therapies impact both tumor cells and cells within the tumor microenvironment. One such pathway is the janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator or transcription (STAT) pathway, which is activated in both breast cancer cells and in tumor associated macrophages. This study demonstrates that exposure of macrophages to JAK inhibitors leads to activation of NF-κB signaling, which results in increased expression of genes known to be associated with therapeutic resistance. Furthermore, inhibition of the NF-κB pathway improves the ability of ruxolitinib to reduce mammary tumor growth in vivo. Thus, the impact of the tumor microenvironment is an important consideration in studying breast cancer and understanding such mechanisms of resistance is critical to development of effective targeted therapies.

Serial Immune Profiling During Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Shows Changes in Loco-regional Immunity in Ovarian Cancer [III]

Project description:The immune system is active in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and carries both effector and suppressive functions. We profiled biomarker expression on serial biological specimens collected during intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy to better define treatment-induced tumor involution.

Signaling networks transported by EVs drive phenocopying of migratory behavior between tumor cells

Project description:Tumors are heterogeneous with respect to mutational pattern, gene expression and microenvironment. This heterogeneity leads to large functional intratumoral differences in tumor cell behavior so that a tumor may contain or develop small fractions of cells that possess properties to migrate, metastasize or evade therapy treatment. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted a lot of attention as microenvironmental intercellular messenger that may severely complicate tumor heterogeneity. EVs are small lipid membrane-enclosed vesicles that carry biologically active molecules including lipids, proteins, DNA and various RNA species. Although accumulating evidence suggest that tumor cells can phenocopy behavior through exchange of EVs, it is widely debated how the transfer of small amounts of cargo can mediate this effect. We isolated EVs from tumors grown in mice and identified that sub tumor clones with distinct metastatic potential transfer networks of RNAs and proteins involved in migration, and leads to phenocopying of migratory behavior.
