Human Pancreatic CTCs Express the ECM Protein SPARC

ABSTRACT: Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are shed from primary tumors into the bloodstream, mediating the hematogenous spread of cancer to distant organs. To determine the relevance of ECM protein expression to human disease, CTCs were isolated from the blood of metastatic PDAC patients and subjected to single cell RNA-sequencing. Analysis of 7 pancreatic CTCs from 3 patients revealed that the majority expressed keratins defining their epithelial origin. A total of 13 of 60 extracellular protein genes enriched in mouse CTCs (see GEO GSE51372) were expressed at high levels (>100 rpm) in at least one human pancreatic CTC. Human SPARC was the only gene found at high levels in all human pancreatic CTCs.

Human Pancreatic CTCs Express the ECM Protein SPARC

Project description:Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are shed from primary tumors into the bloodstream, mediating the hematogenous spread of cancer to distant organs. To determine the relevance of ECM protein expression to human disease, CTCs were isolated from the blood of metastatic PDAC patients and subjected to single cell RNA-sequencing.

Human SPARC was the only gene found at high levels in all human pancreatic CTCs. To achieve a deep RNA sequencing profile of CTCs at the single cell level, we applied a novel inertial focusing-enhanced device, the CTC-iChip, which allows high efficiency negative depletion of normal blood cells, leaving unattached CTCs in solution where they can be selected and analyzed as single cells (Pubmed ID 23552373). CTCs were then subjected to single cell RNA-sequencing (Pubmed ID 20203668).

Genome-wide expression microarray data of MCSP- and ABCB5-enriched CTCs

Project description:Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) act as tumour seeds for haematogeneous melanoma spread of melanoma. Since CTCs have been reported to be heterogeneous in melanoma, the characterisation of the different melanoma CTC subpopulations harbours biological and clinical significance. For detection of melanoma CTCs, melanoma-associated markers (i.e. MCSP, melanoma-associated chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan) have been used; however, recent studies have found that melanoma CTCs commonly express ABCB5 (ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 5) a melanoma-initiating marker. Here, we used a genome-wide expression microarray to interrogate the transcriptome of MCSP-enriched and ABCB5-enriched CTC fraction in order to provide a better understanding of their biology and role in melanoma metastasis. Findings from this study highlited the distinct transcriptional programming of both CTC subpopulations.

Next generation sequencing profiling experimental circulating tumor cells-derived metastatic variants [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Hematogenous metastasis is initiated by a subset of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) shed from primary or metastatic tumors into the blood circulation. Thus, CTCs provide a unique patient biopsy resource to decipher the cellular subpopulations that initiate metastasis and their molecular properties. However, one crucial question is whether CTCs derived from patients recapitulate human metastatic disease in an animal model. Here, we show that CTC lines established from breast cancer patients are capable of generating metastases in mice with a pattern recapitulating most major organs from corresponding patients. We used ATAC-seq to assay chromatin accessibility in parental CTC and CTC-derived metastatic cells. Genome-wide sequencing analyses of metastatic variants identified novel chromatin accessibility domains predicting organ-specific metastasis identified from CTCs and facilitate the development of potential therapies targeting metastatis initiating cells in circulation.

Molecular characterization of breast cancer circulating tumor cells (CTCs) associated with brain metastasis

Project description:The enumeration of EpCAM-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has allowed clinicians to estimate the overall metastatic burden in breast cancer patients. However, a thorough understanding of CTCs associated with breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) is necessary for early identification and evaluation of treatment response to BCBM. In this study, we report that BCBM CTCs are enriched in a distinct sub-population of cells identifiable by their biomarker expression and mutational content. Here we report the discovery of a unique “CTC gene signature” that is distinct from primary breast cancer tissues. Further dissection of the CTC signature identified signaling pathways associated with BCBM CTCs that may play roles in potentiating BCBM.

Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Circulating Melanoma Cells

Project description:Melanoma is an invasive malignancy with a high frequency of blood-borne metastases, but circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have not been readily isolated. We adapted microfluidic CTC capture to a tamoxifen-driven B-RAF/PTEN mouse melanoma model. CTCs were detected in all tumor-bearing mice, rapidly declining after B-RAF inhibitor treatment. CTCs were shed early from localized tumors and a short course of B-RAF inhibition following surgical resection was sufficient to dramatically suppress distant metastases. The large number of CTCs in melanoma-bearing mice enabled comparison of RNA sequencing profiles with the matched primary tumor. A mouse melanoma CTC-derived signature correlated with invasiveness and cellular motility in human melanoma. In patients with metastatic melanoma, CTCs were detected in smaller numbers in patients with metastatic melanoma and declined with successful B-RAF targeted therapy. Together, the capture of CTCs and their molecular characterization provide insight into the hematogenous spread of melanoma.

Gene expression profile of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 xenograft - validation set

Project description:Progression to stage IV disease remains the main cause of breast cancer-related deaths. Increasing knowledge of the hematogenous phase of metastasis is key for exploiting the entire window of opportunity to interfere with early dissemination and to achieve a more effective disease control. On the hypothesis that the distinguishing molecular features of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) reveal useful information on metastasis biology and disease outcome, we compared the transcriptomes of CTCs and solid primary/secondary lesions of the MDA-MB-231 xenograft model and provided evidence that blood-borne dissemination is regulated by numerous genes. Our new CTC-specific signature improved CTC detection and outcome prognostication in early-stage breast cancer patients compared to conventional CTC markers, and shed light on the metastatic process by highlighting the role of two genes.

Single Cell RNA-sequencing of Pancreatic Circulating Tumor Cells

Project description:Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are shed from primary tumors into the bloodstream, mediating the hematogenous spread of cancer to distant organs. Using a pancreatic cancer mouse model, we applied a microfluidic device to isolate CTCs independently of tumor epitopes, subjecting these to single cell RNA-sequencing. This study was conducted to determine the heterogeneity of pancreatic CTCs and to compare these CTCs to matched primary tumors, cell line controls (NB508 cancer cell line and MEF non-cancer cell line), primary tumor single cells, and normal leukocytes/WBCs.
