Project description:Purpose: To identify genes and the molecular pathways involved in the MSCs response to extracellular matrix stiffness, we performed RNA-sequencing of MSCs which cultured in soft (2 kPa) and stiff (18 kPa) SA hydrogels. Methods: mRNA profiles of MSCs cultured in soft (2 kPa) and stiff (18 kPa) SA hydrogel for 48 h were generated by deep sequencing, in quadruplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we identified 33950 transcripts in MSCs with BWA workflow. Conclusions: Our results present the detailed analysis of MSCs transcriptomes cultured in soft (2 kPa) and stiff (18 kPa) matrix, and found that matrix stiffness dominated multiple mRNA pathways in MSCs.

Project description:Almost all solid tumors become stiff with progression of cancer. Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), most abundant stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), are known to mediate the stiffening. While the biochemical crosstalk between CAFs and cancer cells have been widely investigated, it is yet not clear whether CAFs in stiffer TME promote metastatic progression, and if so, how. To address this question, here we explore the role of mechanical stiffness and cell traction force in regulating human colorectal CAF (CAF05 cell line) gene expressions that are relevant to metastatic progression. We cultured CAFs on 2D polyacrylamide hydrogels with increasing elastic modulus (E) of 1, 10 and 40 kPa, and quantified corresponding cell spreading area and cytoskeletal force. We performed genome-wide transcriptome analyses in these cells to identify differentially expressed genes on 40 KPa compared to those on 1 kPa substrate. The latter represents normal tissue stiffness of colon.

Project description:Purpose: Mechanical homeostasis is a crucial process for endothelial cell (EC) survival and functionality. Cells can sense environmental change and modify the expression of extracellular matrix, focal adhesion and cytoskeleton protein to maintain the correct mechanical homeostasis. In this study, we observed change in mRNA levels linked with mechanical response. ECs were seeded for 48 hour on PDMS 3 kPa and 30 kPa substrate coating with fibronectin to simulate "soft" and "stiff" substrate, then RNA-seq was performed.

Project description:Tumour-associated p53 missense mutants act as driver oncogenes affecting cancer progression, metastatic potential and drug resistance (gain-of-function) 1 . Mutant p53 protein stabilization is a prerequisite for gain-of-function manifestation; however, it does not represent an intrinsic property of p53 mutants, but rather requires secondary events 2 . Moreover, mutant p53 protein levels are often heterogeneous even within the same tumour, raising questions on the mechanisms that control local mutant p53 accumulation in some tumour cells but not in their neighbours 2,3 . By investigating the cellular pathways that induce protection of mutant p53 from ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, we found that HDAC6/Hsp90-dependent mutant p53 accumulation is sustained by RhoA geranylgeranylation downstream of the mevalonate pathway, as well as by RhoA- and actin-dependent transduction of mechanical inputs, such as the stiffness of the extracellular environment. Our results provide evidence for an unpredicted layer of mutant p53 regulation that relies on metabolic and mechanical cues.

Project description:We undertook mRNA microarray and gene ontology analyses to screen out substrate stiffness-dependent genes. Total mRNA were extracted from E17 cortical neurons grown on soft or stiff substrates at 5 or 16 hr time points. We identified 114 differentially-expressed mRNA transcripts in cells grown on 0.1 kPa and 20 kPa gels at the 5 hr time-point. Among them, 66 were upregulated in 0.1 kPa gel cultures and the remainder were downregulated (compared to cells grown on stiffer substrates). The expressions of three endocytic genes (Cltc, Dab2, and Myo6) and four adhesion genes(Vcl, Robo2, Nrcam, and Cad11) were confirmed by QGP and smRNA FISH.

Project description:Purpose: When we infect MDCK epithelial cells we low dosage of Listeria monocytogenes, we observe that at late times (24 h) post-infection the infected cells pertaining in infection foci get collectively extruded out of the epithelial monolayer forming a 3D mound. The formation of the infection mound results from the competition between two populations: the uninfected cells ("surrounders") that eventually squeeze and extrude the infected cells ("mounders") in the infected wells. The extracellular matrix where the host cells adhere appears to impact the formation of infection mounds with more mounding on glassr as opposed to soft 3 kPa substrata, as evidenced by confocal 3D microscopy. Here we built poalyacrylamide hydrogels of varing stiffness (3 kPa soft or 70 kPa stiff) and coated them with collagen I rat tail. We also placed host cells on glass collagen I-coated surfaces. We then infected for 24 h (or not) the host cells with Listeria monocytogenes to infer how matrix stiffness-dependent gene expression of MDCK cells in monolayers changes in uninfected versus infected wells, through RNA-Sequencing. Our goal was to understand how matrix stiffness impacts transcriptional regulation of host cells and whether that could modulate the collective extrusion of infected epithelial cells triggered by surrounding uninfected cells. Methods and Results: By analyzing the differentially expressed genes between all conditions we find a significant number of up- or down-regulated genes between all groups, other than between cells residing on soft versus stiff polyacrylamide hydrogels that behave similarly in terms of gene expression. Through pathway enrichement analysis, we find that cells residing on polyacrylamide hydrogels as opposed to cells residing on glass show higher upregulation of a number of innate immune signaling related pathways (e.g. MAPK, TNF) even when infection is not involved. When comparing infected versus not wells, the relative differences in gene expression for cells residing on glass are higher than for cells residing on hydrogels. However certain specific innate immune signaling pathways that regulate mound formation (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1534580721000708), show higher upregulation in infection for cells on hydrogels as opposed to glass (e.g. IL-17, TNF, NF-κΒ; evidenced by pathway enrichement analysis). Finally, through pathway enrichement analysis we find that the relative change based on enrichement score when comparing uninfected versus infected settings for cells residing on glass versus on polyacrylamide hydrogels is lower for the former (i.e. for cells residing on glass) for NF-κB, TNF and IL17. However, with regards to the MAPK pathway the enrichment score of cells from infected versus uninfected wells, is much higher for cells residing on glass as opposed to polyacrylamide hydrogles. Conclusions: Infection of MDCK epithelial cells with Listeria monocytogenes significantly alters the transcriptome of the infected host cells when those are examined 24 h post infection and compared to uninfected cells on all different substrata. Compared to cells residing on glass substrates cells residing on polyacrylamide hydrogels (irrespective of whether the stiffness is low i.e. 3 kPa or high i.e. 70 kPa) show significant differences both when uninfected settings and when infected ones are compared.
