CD73 as a therapeutic target of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor stem cells

ABSTRACT: Background: Identification and purification of cancer stem cells (CSCs) lead to new therapeutic targets; however, there has been no study to identify and isolated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) CSC. Therefore the clinical significance and its target remain unknown. This study aimed to identify pNET CSCs and characterize therapeutic candidate for pNET CSCs. Methods: We isolated CSCs sorting by ALDH activity in pNET surgical section and cell lines. We verified whether these cells have the property of stemness in vivo and in vitro. Additionally in order to acquire CSC gene profile, genome-wide gene expression profiles were investigated using a microarray technique. Results: ALDHhigh cells, but not control bulk cells, formed spheres, proliferated in hypoxia as well as normoxia and promoted cell motility, which are features of CSCs. Injection of as few as 10 ALDHhigh cells led to subcutaneous tumor formation, and 105 ALDHhigh cells established metastases but not control bulk cells in mice. Comprehensive gene expression analysis revealed that genes associated with mesenchymal stem cell, including CD73, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were overexpressed in ALDHhigh cells. APCP, which is CD73 inhibitor, inhibited sphere formation and cell motility in ALDHhigh cells in vitro, and tumor growth inhibition were observed in ALDHhigh cells in vivo. Conclusions: We identified ALDHhigh cells of pNET and elucidated that they have stemness property. Furthermore we identified CD73 as a target of ALDHhigh cells. CD73 is a promising novel target of pNET CSCs.

Characterization of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 high ovarian cancer cells: Towards targeted stem cell therapy

Project description:Objective: The cancer stem cell (CSC) paradigm hypothesizes that successful clinical eradication of CSCs may lead to durable remission for patients with ovarian cancer. Despite mounting evidence in support of ovarian CSCs, their phenotype and clinical relevance remain unclear. We and others have found high aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDHhigh) expression in a variety of normal and malignant stem cells, and sought to better characterize ALDHhigh cells in ovarian cancer. Methods: We compared ALDHhigh to ALDHlow cells in two ovarian cancer models representing distinct subtypes: FNAR-C1 cells, derived from a spontaneous rat endometrioid carcinoma, and the human SKOV3 cell line (described as both serous and clear cell subtypes). We assessed these populations for stem cell features then analyzed expression by microarray and qPCR. Results: ALDHhigh cells displayed CSC properties, including: smaller size, quiescence, regenerating the phenotypic diversity of the cell lines in vitro, lack of contact inhibition, nonadherent growth, multi-drug resistance, and in vivo tumorigenicity. Microarray and qPCR analysis of the expression of markers reported by others to enrich for ovarian CSCs revealed that ALDHhigh cells of both models showed downregulation of CD24, but inconsistent expression of CD44, KIT and CD133. However, the following drugable targets were consistently expressed in the ALDHhigh cells from both models: mTOR signaling, her-2/neu, CD47 and FGF18 / FGFR3. Conclusions: Based on functional characterization, ALDHhigh ovarian cancer cells represent an ovarian CSC population. Differential gene expression identified drugable targets that have the potential for therapeutic efficacy against ovarian CSCs from multiple subtypes. FNAR-C1 rat ovarian cancer cells were sorted into Aldefluor high and Aldefluor low populations. Analysis was performed in triplicate. Aldefluor low cells served as the reference cells for fold-change analysis.

GRIK2 is a target for bladder cancer stem-like cell-targeting immunotherapy

Project description:Recent studies revealed that treatment resistant cancer stem-like cells (CSCs)/cancer-initiating cells (CICs) can be targeted by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). CTLs recognize antigenic peptide derived from tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), thus identification of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) expressed in CSCs/CICs is essential. Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) ligandome analysis using mass spectrometry enables analysis of naturally expressed antigenic peptides; however, HLA ligandome analysis requires large scale of sample and it is challenging for CSCs/CICs. In this study, we established novel bladder CSC/CIC model from a bladder cancer cell line UM-UC-3 cells using ALDEFLUOR assay. CSCs/CICs were isolated as aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) high cells and several ALDHhigh clone cells were established. ALDHhigh clone cells were enriched with CSCs/CICs by sphere formation and tumorigenicity in immune deficient mouse. HLA ligandome analysis and gene expression (CAGE) using ALDHhigh clone cells revealed distinctive antigenic peptide repertoire in bladder CSCs/CICs, and we identified GRIK2 derived antigenic peptide is specifically expressed in CSCs/CICs. GRIK2 peptide-specific CTL clone recognized GRIK2-overexpressed UM-UC-3 cells and ALDHhigh clone cells indicating that GRIK2 peptide can be a novel target for bladder CSCs/CICs-targeting immunotherapy.

Proteins and Molecular Pathways Relevant for Stemness Properties of Tumor-Initiating Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells Recognized by Differential Proteome-, Gene Expression-, and Functional Analysis

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small subset of the tumor bulk with highly malignant properties, are deemed responsible for tumor initiation, growth, metastasis, and relapse. In order to reveal molecular markers and determinants of stemness properties, pancreatic CSCs were enriched in three-dimensional spheroid cultures of two highly metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines (L3.6sl and L3.6pl) and compared to bulk tumor cells using differential proteomics (PTX). We identified about 400 putative target proteins with significantly different expression in pancreatic CSCs and bulk tumor cells. By combining the unbiased PTX with gene expression analysis using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) we nominated the two calcium binding proteins S100A8 (MRP8) and S100A9 (MRP14), as well as galactin-3-binding protein LGALS3BP (MAC-2-BP) as putative determinants of pancreatic CSCs. In silico pathway analysis followed by candidate-based RNA interference mediated functional analysis revealed a critical role of S100A8, S100A9, and LGALS3BP as molecular determinants of CSC proliferation, migration and in vivo tumor initiation. Our study highlights the power of combining unbiased proteomics with focused gene expression and functional analyses for the identification of key regulators of CSCs, an approach that warrants further application to identify CSCs proteins amenable to drug targeting.

CD109 expression regulates the phenotype of cancer stem-like cells or cancer-initiating cells in epithelioid sarcoma with possible impact on clinical prognosis

Project description:Several human cancers contain a small subpopulation of cells called cancer stem-like cells (CSCs)/cancer initiating cells (CICs), which are defined by the ability of self- renewal, multi-differentiation potential, and tumorigenesis. In current study, we focused on epithelioid sarcoma, which is very rare caner, and isolated CSCs/CICs from epitheloid sarcoma cell line ESX based on ALDH activity using ALDEFLUOR assay towards identification of a new CIC/CSC marker. We performed gene profiling between ALDHhigh and ALDH low cells using cDNA microarray for the identification of good markers of CSCs/CICs of epithelioid sarcoma.

A Phase I/II Study of Active Immunotherapy With Cancer Stem Cells Vaccine for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Most studies of cancer stem cells (CSC) involve the inoculation of cells from human tumors into immunosuppressed mice, preventing an assessment on the immunologic interactions and effects of CSCs. In this study, the investigators examined the vaccination effects produced by CSC-enriched populations from histologically distinct murine tumors after their inoculation into different syngeneic immunocompetent hosts. Enriched CSCs were immunogenic and more effective as an antigen source than unselected tumor cells in inducing protective antitumor immunity.Immune sera from CSC-vaccinated hosts contained high levels of IgG which bound to CSCs, resulting in CSC lysis in the presence of complement.CTLs generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells or splenocytes harvested from CSC-vaccinated hosts were capable of killing CSCs in vitro. Mechanistic investigations established that CSC-primed antibodies and T cells were capable of selective targeting CSCs and conferring anti-tumor immunity.

Expression data from subpopulations of Apc1638N/+ intestinal adeno tumors versus Apc1638N/+ / KRAS v12G intestinal adenocarcinomas tumors

Project description:Constitutive activation of the Wnt pathway leads to adenoma formation, an obligatory step towards intestinal cancer. In view of the established role of Wnt in regulating stemness, we attempted the isolation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) from Apc- and Apc/KRAS-mutant intestinal tumours. Whereas CSCs are present in malignant Apc/KRAS–mutant carcinomas, they appear to be very rare (<10-6) in the benign Apc–mutant adenomas. In contrast, the Lin-CD24hiCD29+ subpopulation of adenocarcinoma cells appear to be enriched in CSCs with increased levels of active -catenin. Expression profiling analysis of the CSC-enriched subpopulation confirmed their enhanced Wnt activity and revealed additional differential expression of other signalling pathways, growth factor binding proteins, and extracellular matrix components. As expected, genes characteristic of the Paneth cell lineage (e.g. defensins) are co-expressed together with stem cell genes (e.g. Lgr5) within the CSC-enriched subpopulation. This is of interest as it may indicate a cancer stem cell niche role for tumor-derived Paneth-like cells, similar to their role in supporting Lgr5+ stem cells in the normal intestinal crypt. Overall, our results indicate that oncogenic KRAS activation in Apc-driven tumours results in the expansion of the CSCs compartment by increasing b-catenin intracellular stabilization. To identify molecular differences between stem-like and more differentiated (bulk) tumour cells from Apc1638N/+ and Apc1638N/+/KRASV12G intestinal adenomas and adenocarcinomas, we isolated total RNA from 104 Lin-CD24hiCD29+, Lin-CD24medCD29+/Lin-CD24loCD29+ and Lin- (bulk) tumour cells from 5 individual mice of each genotype (Apc1638N/+ and Apc1638N/+/KRASV12G). Total RNA samples were then employed to hybridize oligonucleotide microarrays (Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array) according to conventional protocols.

Gene expression analysis of mouse Kras-mutant lung adenocarcinoma cells and cancer stem cells

Project description:Mechanisms underlying cancer stemness in Kras-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (KM-LUAD) are poorly understood. We previously found that mice with knockout of Gprc5a develop LUADs with somatic Kras mutations. We also previously derived Gprc5a-/- KM-LUAD cells (MDA-F471 cells) from a mouse exposed to the tobacco-specific carcinogen NNK. We also derived cancer stem cells (CSCs; grown and cultured as spheres in 3D cultures) from MDA-F471 cells. To better understand the biology of these CSCs, we compared the transcriptomes of MDA-F471 cells and their CSC counterparts by bulk RNA-sequencing.

Chitosan promotes cancer progression and stem cell properties through Wnt signaling in colon and hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small population of cancer cells, have been considered to be the origin of cancer initiation, recurrence, and metastasis. Tumor microenvironment provides crucial signals for CSCs to maintain stem cell properties and promote tumorigenesis. Therefore, establishment of an appropriate cell culture system to mimic the microenvironment for CSC studies is an important issue. In this study, we grew colon and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells on chitosan membranes and evaluated the tumor progression by transwell migration, drug resistance, microarray, and RT-PCR analysis. We also evaluated the CSC properties by flow cytometry, sphere forming assay, luciferase reporter assay, western blot, and gene knockdown. Experimental results showed that culturing cancer cells on chitosan increased cell motility, drug resistance, quiescent population, self-renewal capacity, and the expression levels of stemness and CSC marker genes, such as OCT4, NANOG, CD133, CD44, and EpCAM. Furthermore, we demonstrated that chitosan might activate canonical Wnt/β-catenin-CD44 axis signaling in CD44positive colon cancer cells and noncanonical Wnt-STAT3 signaling in CD44negative HCC cells. In conclusion, chitosan as culture substrates activated the essential signaling of CSCs and promoted CSC properties. The chitosan culture system provides a convenient platform for the research of CSC biology and screening of anticancer drugs.
