Omentum gel enables the study of metastatic ovarian cancer and stromal cell functions in a physiologically relevant environment

ABSTRACT: High-grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer is the most common and aggressive ovarian cancer type, and the most lethal gynaecological disease 1,2. The major cause is its highly metastatic nature and the limited availability of effective therapies to oppose it. The omentum is a highly vascularised visceral depot of adipose tissue with immune functions, which becomes the preferential metastatic site in patients with HGS ovarian cancer 1,2. The omentum provides an environment that supports the rapid growth of metastatic tumours and their spread within the peritoneal cavity and adjacent organs 2,3. Research aimed at understanding the biology of metastatic tumours in the omentum is therefore essential to find strategies to oppose HGS ovarian cancer. To this aim, there is the need for in vitro models that faithfully recapitulate the microenvironment of HGS omental metastasis in patients.

Omentum-derived matrix enables the study of metastatic ovarian cancer and stromal cell functions in a physiologically relevant environment

Project description:High-grade serous (HGS) ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological disease in the world and metastases is a major cause. The omentum is the preferential metastatic site in HGS ovarian cancer patients and in vitro models that recapitulate the original environment of this organ at cellular and molecular level are being developed to study basic mechanisms that underpin this disease. The tumour extracellular matrix (ECM) plays active roles in HGS ovarian cancer pathology and response to therapy. However, most of the current in vitro models use matrices of animal origin and that do not recapitulate the complexity of the tumour ECM in patients. Here, we have developed omentum gel (OmGel), a matrix made from tumour-associated omental tissue of HGS ovarian cancer patients that has unprecedented similarity to the ECM of HGS omental tumours and is simple to prepare. When used in 2D and 3D in vitro assays to assess cancer cell functions relevant to metastatic ovarian cancer, OmGel performs as well as or better than the widely use Matrigel and does not induce additional phenotypic changes to ovarian cancer cells. Surprisingly, OmGel promotes pronounced morphological changes in cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). These changes were associated with the upregulation of proteins that define subsets of CAFs in tumour patient samples, highlighting the importance of using clinically and physiologically relevant matrices for in vitro studies. Hence, OmGel provides a step forward to study the biology of HGS omental metastasis. Metastasis in the omentum are also typical of other cancer types, particularly gastric cancer, implying the relevance of OmGel to study the biology of other highly lethal cancers.

O-GlcNAcylation regulates epidermal growth factor receptor intracellular trafficking and signaling

Project description:Ligand-stimulated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling plays fundamental roles in normal cell physiology, such as cell growth, cell proliferation, and cell survival. Deregulation of EGFR signaling contributes to the development and progression of diseases including cancer. Despite its essential role in biology, the mechanisms by which EGFR signaling is regulated in cells are still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that O-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification serves as an important regulator of EGFR intracellular trafficking and degradation. Mechanistically, O-GlcNAcylation of hepatocyte growth factor regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HGS), a key protein in EGFR intraluminal sorting pathway, inhibits HGS interaction with signal-transducing adaptor molecule (STAM), thereby impairing the formation of endosomal sorting complex required for transport-0 (ESCRT-0). Moreover, O-GlcNAcylation increases HGS ubiquitination and decreases its protein stability in cells. Consequently, HGS O-GlcNAcylation inhibits EGFR intraluminal sorting and lysosomal degradation, leading to the accumulation of EGFR and prolonged EGFR signaling in cells.

Copy number profiling via ArrayCGH on high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer samples from multiple biopsies

Project description:We performed Array CGH on 25 patients with high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer (HGS-EOC): each of this had multiple biopsies taken at the moment of the surgery in different anatomical sites, and 18 had also temporal biopsies taken after several cycles of chemotherapy. Blood was used as control. The experiment was performed to identify genomic alterations that can be used to classify the disease, going beyond the individual tumor heterogeneity.

miRNA profiling of longitudinal ovarian cancer biopsies collected before and after platinum-based neo-adjuvant chemotherapy

Project description:In the last decades platinum-based neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been recognized as a reliable therapeutic strategy in patients with un-resectable advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, the molecular changes induced by NACT at miRNA level, and their prognostic role has not been clarified until now. In order to uncover miRNAs that are altered in EOC tumor which received NACT, we performed whole-miRNA analysis on 82 FIGO Stage IIIC-IV high-grade serous (HGS) tumors, whose samples had been collected at complete primary debulking (PDS) and at interval-debulking surgery (IDS) after fter 4 courses of NACT.

Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis Reveals the Regulation of the Hypopharyngeal Glands in the Honey Bee, Apis mellifera carnica Pollmann

Project description:Transcriptome sequencing has become the main methodology for analyzing the relationship between genes and characteristics of interests, particularly those associated with diseases and economic traits. Because of its functional superiority, commercial royal jelly (RJ) and its production are major areas of focus in the field of apiculture. Multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated that many factors affect RJ output by activating or inhibiting various target genes and signaling pathways to augment their efficient replication. The coding sequences made available by the Honey Bee Genome Sequencing Consortium have permitted a pathway-based approach for investigating the development of the hypopharyngeal glands (HGs). In the present study, 3573941, 3562730, 3551541, 3524453, and 3615558 clean reads were obtained from the HGs of five full-sister honey bee samples using Solexa RNA sequencing technology. These reads were then assembled into 18378, 17785, 17065, 17105, and 17995 unigenes, respectively, and aligned to the DFCI Honey Bee Gene Index database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) data were also correlated with detailed morphological data for HGs acini. The results identify areas that warrant further study, including those that can be used to improve honey bee breeding techniques and help ensure stable yields of RJ with high quality traits. The 5 samples at given time (d3, d6, d9, d12, d16 after adult worker bees emergence from the comb) are in the critical stage of the RJ secretion and HGs developments indicated (triggered) the further caste differentiation (worker bees and queen) and task switch (nurse bees and foragers). 30 pooled heads of each samples were

Bulk RNA-Sequencing of Murine Normal and Tumor-Associated Omental and Mesenteric Macrophages

Project description:The omentum is the most common site of ovarian cancer metastasis. Immune cell clusters called milky spots are found throughout the omentum. It is however unknown if these immune cells contribute to ovarian cancer metastasis. Here we report that omental macrophages promote the migration and colonization of ovarian cancer cells to the omentum through the secretion of chemokine ligands that interact with chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1). We found that depletion of macrophages reduces ovarian cancer colonization of the omentum. RNA-sequencing of macrophages isolated from mouse omentum and mesenteric adipose tissue revealed a specific enrichment of CCL6 chemokine ligand in omental macrophages. CCL6 and the human homolog CCL23 were both necessary and sufficient to promote ovarian cancer migration by activating ERK1/2 and PI3K pathways. Importantly, inhibition of CCR1 reduced ovarian cancer colonization. These findings demonstrate a critical mechanism of omental macrophage induced colonization by ovarian cancer cells via CCR1 signaling.

Hematogenous metastasis of ovarian cancer: Re-thinking mode of spread

Project description:Ovarian cancer has a clear predilection for metastasis to the omentum, but the underlying mechanisms involved in ovarian cancer spread are not well understood. Here, we used a parabiosis model that demonstrates preferential hematogenous metastasis of ovarian cancer to the omentum. Our studies revealed that the ErbB3-neuregulin1 (NRG1) axis is a dominant pathway responsible for hematogenous omental metastasis. Elevated levels of ErbB3 in ovarian cancer cells and NRG1 in the omentum allowed for tumor cell localization and growth in the omentum. Depletion of ErbB3 in ovarian cancer substantially impaired omental metastasis. Our results highlight hematogenous metastasis as a previously under-recognized mode of ovarian cancer metastasis. These findings have implications for designing new strategies aimed at preventing and treating ovarian cancer metastasis.
