Project description:Gene expression was analyzed in peritoneal macrophages and TAM from mice injected with ID8 ovarian cancer cells intraperitoneally 5 and 21 days after tumor cell injection. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) have been shown to have important roles in the malignant progression of various cancers. However, macrophages also posses intrinsic tumoricidal activity and can promote the activity of cytotoxic lymphocytes, but they rapidly adopt an alternative phenotype within tumors, associated with immune-suppression and trophic functions that support tumor growth. The mechanisms that promote TAM polarization in the tumor-microenvironment remain poorly understood, these mechanisms may represent important therapeutic targets to block the tumor-promoting functions of TAM and restore their anti-tumor potential. Here we have characterized TAM in a mouse model of metastatic ovarian cancer. We show that ovarian cancer cells promote membrane-cholesterol efflux and the depletion of lipid rafts from macrophages. Increased cholesterol efflux promoted IL-4 mediated reprogramming while inhibiting IFNg-induced gene expression. These studies reveal an unexpected role for tumor-induced membrane-cholesterol efflux in driving the IL-4 signaling and the tumor-promoting functions of TAM, while rendering them refractory to pro-inflammatory stimuli. Thus, preventing cholesterol efflux in TAM could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to block pro-tumor functions and restore anti-tumor immunity.

Project description:Wheat cultivars ‘TAM 111’ and ‘TAM 112’ have been dominantly grown in the Southern U.S. Great Plains for many years due to their excellent, yet variable, drought tolerance. To identify the molecular basis and genetic control of drought tolerance in these two landmark cultivars, RNA-seq analysis was conducted to compare gene expression difference in flag leaves under fully irrigated (wet) and water deficient (dry) conditions. Of the 122,017 gene sequences assembled, 2,254 genes showed significantly altered expression patterns under dry and wet conditions in the two cultivars. TAM 111 had 593 and 1,532 dry-wet differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and TAM 112 had 777 and 1,670 at heading and grain-filling stages, respectively. The two cultivars have 1,214 (53.9%) dry-wet DEGs in common, which agreed with their excellent adaption to drought, but 438 and 602 dry-wet DEGs were respectively shown only in TAM 111 and TAM 112 suggested that each may have a specific mechanism to cope with drought. Annotation of all 2,254 genes with dry-wet expression difference found 1,855 have functions related to biosynthesis, stress responses, defense responses, transcription factors and cellular components related to ion or protein transportation and signal transduction. Comparing hierarchical structure of biological processes, molecule functions and cellular components revealed the significant regulation differences between TAM 111 and TAM 112, particularly for genes of phosphorylation and adenyl ribonucleotide binding, and proteins located in nucleus and plasma membrane. Comparing gene expressions involved in responses to stresses of water deprivation, heat and oxidative, ABA-induced signal pathway and transcription regulation found TAM 112 have more specific dry-wet DEGs than TAM 111 with most of them up-regulated, indicating that TAM 112 is more active than TAM 111 in response to drought. In addition, 399 dry-wet DEGs with unknown functions included 258 genes encoding predicted uncharacterized proteins and 141 unannotated genes with no similar sequences identified in the databases. These may represent novel genes related to drought response in TAM 111 or TAM 112. This research thus revealed different drought-tolerance mechanisms in TAM 111 and TAM 112 and identified useful drought tolerance genes for wheat adaption.

Project description:To clarify the microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), a series of 32 GIST specimens were analyzed using Agilent miRNA microarray V3. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering revealed that GISTs can be categorized into 2 groups according to the expression of a miRNA cluster encoded on chromosome 14q32.31. Total RNA was extracted from 32 fresh frozen GIST specimens obtained from surgical resections. Expression of 851 miRNAs was analyzed using Human miRNA Microarray V3 (Rel 12.0 G4470C; Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Risk grade was assessed according to the risk definition system proposed by Fletcher et al. (Hum Pathol. 2002;33:459-65.)

Project description:Description This series contains microarrays for tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) purified from 8 week old male C57/BL6N mice, 3 weeks after tumor implantation into the left hind limb. Peritoneal exudates cells (PECs) were also harvested from control C57/BL6N mice. The resulting adherent populations were maintained in culture and resting TAMs and PECs were treated for 4 hours with 100 ng/mL of LPS to promote macrophage activation. RNA isolation and cDNA microarrays: Total RNA was isolated from approximately 20x10e6 PEC and TAM cells using standard Trizol purification protocols (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Microarrays were manufactured at the NCI, Laboratory of Molecular Technology (Frederick MD). The 10,368 Mm UniGem2 set was printed on poly-lysine coated glass slides and hybridized according to NCI facility protocols. All slides were scanned using as Axon GenePix 4000 scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster city, CA) and resulting data was uploaded for analysis to the mAdb microarray database (http://madb.nci.nih.gov/).

Project description:Background: We have applied an integrative approach, including classical genomic, microarray, and refined computational systems biology to study the regulatory pathways that involve DNA damage associated with typical drug preparations of Tamoxifen (TAM). We compared the effects of newly formulated Nano-emulsions of TAM (NanoTAM or N-TAM) on cultured HTB-20 cells to those of liquid preparations of TAM. Phenotypic screening was used to identify changes induced. Implicated regulatory pathways were systematically investigated by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and DNA microarray analyses to identify alterations in protein-DNA interactions as well as genome-wide expression patterns. While liquid solutions of clinically used TAM can have a Z-score average of thousands of nm, after encapsulation and application of high pressure particle size was ~41 nm. ChIP-chip technology was used to classify promoter regions for target genes bound by E2F4 in human primary HTB-20 cells upon treatment with TAM or N-TAM. Specific drug effects were defined by comparing results obtained for Control/Control (CC) Control/Nano (CN), TAM (Drug)/Control (TC), and N-TAM (Drug)/Nano (TN). Functional effects noted included changes in apoptosis, cell proliferation, RNA processing, DNA damage, repair and replication, lipid and protein metabolism, transport, and transcriptional regulators. Cells treated with clinical TAM only expressed the ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein ATM as well as several histone proteins important for DNA damage sensing and activation of repair proteins, while N-TAM did not illicit this response.. In contrast N-TAM could not only enter the cells it could cross the inner mitochondrial membrane, induced more apoptosis and affecting mitochondrial DNA.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment modifies the malignancy of tumors. In solid tumors this environment is populated by many macrophages (tumor-associated macrophages; TAMs) that in genetic studies that depleted these cells from mouse models of breast cancer were shown to promote tumor progression to malignancy and increase metastatic potential. Mechanistic studies showed that these effects are through the stimulation of tumor cell migration, invasion, intravasation as well as an enhancement of angiogenesis. Using an in vivo invasion assay it was demonstrated that invasive carcinoma cells are a unique sub-population of tumor cells whose invasion and chemotaxis is dependent upon the co-migration of TAMs with obligate reciprocal signaling through an EGF/CSF-1 paracrine loop. In this study these invasion-promoting macrophages were isolated and subjected to analysis of their transcriptome in comparison to TAMs isolated indiscriminately to function using established macrophage markers by flow cytometry. Five biological replicates for each population (Invasive and General TAM) were used.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of mRNAs extracted from the rectal mucosa of WT and α6ΔIEC-TAM mice, 15 days after tamoxifen treatment Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in humans are characterized by chronic inflammation and gastrointestinal tissue damage, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. We show that the specific ablation of integrin α6 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) results in spontaneous colorectal inflammation in mice. In order to characterize the earlier molecular signature involved in the onset of inflammation, we performed Affymetrix microarrays and compare control versus α6ΔIEC-TAM transcriptomes after tamoxifen treatment.

Project description:Two microglial TAM receptor tyrosine kinases - Axl and Mer - have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, but their roles in disease have not been tested experimentally. We find that in Alzheimer’s disease and its mouse models, induced expression of Axl and Mer in amyloid plaque-associated microglia is coupled to induced plaque decoration by the TAM ligand Gas6 and its co-ligand phosphatidylserine. In the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, sIngle cell RNAseq analysis comparing wild type microglia with those with Axl and Mer deficiency reveals a similar disease state transitional program of microglia but a dampened differential expression of numerous AD siganture genes in microglia lacking TAM receptors. In line with the transcriptomic data, using two-photon microscopy, we show that genetic ablation of Axl and Mer results in microglia that are unable to normally detect, respond to, organize, or phagocytose amyloid beta plaques. These major deficits notwithstanding, and contrary to expectation, TAM-deficient APP/PS1 mice develop fewer dense-core plaques than APP/PS1 mice with normal microglia. Our findings reveal that the TAM system is an essential mediator of microglial recognition and engulfment of amyloid plaques, and that TAM-driven microglial phagocytosis does not constrain, but rather promotes, plaque development.
