Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the third highest incidence and mortality rates among the US population. According to the most recent concept of carcinogenesis, human tumors are organized hierarchically, and the top of this hierarchy is occupied by malignant stem cells, or cancer stem cells (CSCs), which possess unlimited self-renewal and tumor-initiating capacities and high resistance to conventional anticancer therapies. To reflect the complexity and diversity of human tumors and to provide clinically and physiologically relevant in vivo and in vitro models, a large banks of well characterized patient-derived low-passage cell lines, and especially CSC-enriched cell lines are urgently needed. Using RNA-Seq, we have performed a functional genomic analysis in tumor-initiating fractions of CR4 (small) cells grown adherent to type I collagen versus grown as 3D spheroids, in comparison to the bulk tumor cells (long and dychotomized cells) grown under standard culture conditions.

Project description:We investigated in parallel the miRNome and proteome of the small EVs (sEVs) released by two different human GBM established cell lines and by GBM primary cancer stem cell (CSC) lines, to explore the role of sEVs in their different tumor behavior and capacities, and to assess whether these different EVs that coexist in the tumor burden are functionally interrelated, and/or may together target distinct cellular pathways that converge on the same biological goals

Project description:Although cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to be responsible for tumor recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy, CSC-related research and drug development have been hampered by the limited supply of patient-derived diverse CSCs. Here, we developed a functional polymer thin film (PTF) platform that promotes conversion of human cancer cell lines to highly tumorigenic spheroids without the use of biochemical or genetic manipulations. Culturing various human cancer cells on the specific PTF, poly(2,4,6,8-tetravinyl-2,4,6,8-tetramethyl cyclotetrasiloxane) (pV4D4), gave rise to numerous multicellular spheroids within 24 hours, with high efficiency and reproducibility. Cancer cells in the resulting spheroids showed an enormous increase in the expression of CSC-associated genes and acquired dramatically increased drug resistance compared with monolayer-cultured controls. These spheroids also showed greatly enhanced xenograft tumor-forming ability and metastasis capacity in nude mice. By enabling the generation of tumorigenic spheroids as a patient-derived CSC substitute, the surface platform described here will likely contribute to CSC-related basic research and drug development.

Project description:An increased serum alkaline phosphatase concentration is known to be associated with a negative prognosis in canine and human osteosarcoma. To expand upon previous studies regarding the biological relevance of increased serum alkaline phosphatase as a negative prognostic factor, xenogeneic heterotopic transplants were performed using six canine primary osteosarcoma cell lines generated from patients with differing serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations (3 normal and 3 increased). Three of the six cell lines were capable of generating tumors and tumor formation was independent of the serum alkaline phosphatase status of the cell line. Microarray analysis identified 379 genes as being differentially-expressed between the tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell lines. Frizzled-6 was up-regulated to the greatest extent (7.78 fold) in tumorigenic cell lines compared to non-tumorigenic cell lines. Frizzled-6, a co-receptor for Wnt ligands has been associated with enhanced tumor-initiating cells and poor prognosis for other tumors. The increased expression of frizzled-6 was confirmed by QPCR and Western blot analysis. Additionally, the tumorigenic cell lines also had an increase in the percentage of side population cells compared to non-tumorigenic cell lines (5.89% versus 1.58%, respectively). There were no differences in tumorigenicity, frizzled-6, or percentage of side population cells noted between osteosarcoma cell lines generated from patients of differing serum alkaline phosphatase concentration. However, to our knowledge this is the first study to identified frizzled-6 as a possible marker of osteosarcoma cell populations with enhanced tumorigenicity and side population cells. Future work will focus on defining the role of frizzled-6 in osteosarcoma tumorigenesis and tumor-initiating cells. A total of six canine primary osteosarcoma cell lines were used in this study. Three cell lines were capable of forming tumors when transplanted into mice (tumorigenic) and three cell lines were not capable of forming tumors upon transplant into mice (non-tumorigenic). The gene expression data is from the primary cell lines, not the transplanted cells. There were no reference cell lines or controls used in this study.

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprise a small subpopulation of undifferentiated cancer cells with the ability to self-renew and give rise to the heterogeneous cancer cell lineages that form tumorous masses. Thus, tumor eradication may be greatly improved by specifically targeting CSCs, as they exhibit resistance to conventional therapy. To gain insight into the unique biology of CSCs, we developed patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors from ER-negative breast cancer patient tissue from which we isolated mammospheres, a method known to enrich for cells with CSC-properties. An unbiased, comparative global proteomic analysis using label-free mass spectrometry was performed on the patient tumor tissues and corresponding PDX tumors and mammospheres. Good concordance between the proteome profiles of patient tumor tissue and corresponding PDX tumors was observed. However, lower abundance of immune- and extracellular matrix-related proteins and higher abundance of proteins associated with cell-to-cell adhesion including desmosome proteins and β-catenin were observed in PDX versus patient tumors. Interestingly, analysis of proteins elevated in mammospheres vs. PDX tumors identified an enrichment of proteins associated with de novo cholesterol synthesis. The clinical relevance of increased cholesterol biosynthesis protein expression was verified in a large gene expression data set of clinical breast cancers showing correlation with shorter relapse-free survival. RNA interference and chemical inhibition of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway reduced mammosphere formation and growth of CSCs derived from PDX tumors and cancer cell lines. Our findings identify the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway as central for CSC growth and a potential therapeutic target for CSC as well as providing an additional mechanistic explanation for the observed benefit of statins in breast cancer treatment.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma is heterogeneous and hierarchically organized, with a sub-population of stem-like cells (CSC) that reside at the apex of the hierarchy, in which exosomes act as important mediators by transporting specific molecules among different cell populations. Although there have been numerous studies on tumor exosomes, the constituents and functional properties of CSC-derived exosomes are still poorly characterized. Here, we present a detail transcriptome and proteome atlas of the exosomes released by human lung adenocarcinoma stem-like cells (LSLC).

Project description:Some cancers are thought to follow a cancer stem cell (CSC) model in which hierarchical and epigenetically determined relationships exist between phenotypically and functionally distinct cells within tumors. In melanoma, for example, CD271/p75/NGFR (nerve growth factor receptor) was found by some groups to be expressed in cells with enriched tumorigenic potential (Boiko et al., 2010; Civenni et al., 2011). However, these observations were not reproduced in highly efficient patient-derived xenograft (PDX) assays (Quintana et al., 2008), in which plastic, nonhierarchical relationships were proposed between CD271- and CD271+ cells (Quintana et al., 2010). Here we confirm that a CD271-based CSC model does not apply to melanoma, regardless of the PDX assay method used. In side-by-side testing of published PDX assays, no consistent differences were seen in CD271 expression or in PDX tumor formation from purified CD271- or CD271+ cells from patient melanomas. Analysis of CD271 in sixty-eight PDX tumors grown from CD271- or CD271+ cells revealed strikingly variable CD271 re-expression patterns, which were not consistent with stable hierarchical or plastic relationships between CD271-defined cell sub-populations. Genotyping of sibling PDX tumors showed extensive (28% - 48%) genomic copy number differences, which were also apparent (1.4% - 23%) between CD271- and CD271+ cells purified from each of four melanomas, revealing intra-tumoral genetic heterogeneity associated with CD271 expression. Thus, CD271 is not linked reproducibly to tumorigenic potential in melanoma, regardless of the method of melanoma cell isolation, and its expression appears driven by complex and unstable interactions between changing epigenetic and genetic states. Understanding of melanoma biology and the treatment of melanoma patients are unlikely to be advanced by applying a CD271-based CSC model to this disease.

Project description:A common symptom during late stage breast cancer disease is pleural effusion, which is related to poor prognosis. In pleural effusions malignant cells can be detected, which indicates a metastatic spread from the primary tumor site. Beside the usefulness for investigation of the metastatic process, it has been a source to isolate cells with putative cancer stem cell (CSC) properties. For this study, pleural effusion aspirate from 25 metastatic breast cancer patients were processed to establish in vitro culture. Patient-derived aspirates were cultured under sphere forming conditions and isolated primary cultures were sorted for cancer stem cell populations ALDH1+ and CD44+CD24-/low and sphere forming efficiency of CSC and non-CSC subpopulation was determined. Unsorted cells had a higher potential to form spheres compared to CSC subpopulations. Subsequently, DNA was isolated from pleural effusions before and after cell sorting, to compare their copy number profiles generated by low-coverage whole genome sequencing to DNA from FFPE primary tumors or bone metastasis. Unbalanced profiles could be detected in four pleural samples before sorting, in two ALDH1+ sorted samples, in one CD44+CD24-/low and in all control samples. Additionally, spheroid culture from one pleural sample could be passaged on and was characterized. Therefore, pleural effusions are an appropriate media for enrichment of putative CSC. However, low-coverage sequencing is difficult due to low quantities of abnormal cells compared to normal cells.
