Project description:Inactivation of the retinoblastoma (RB) tumor suppressor in lung adenocarcinoma is associated with the rapid acquisition of metastatic ability and the loss of lung cell lineage commitment. We previously showed that restoration of RB in advanced lung adenocarcinomas in the mouse was correlated with a decreased frequency of lineage de-committed tumors and overt metastases. To identify a causal relationship for RB and its role in reprogramming lineage commitment and reducing metastatic competency in lung adenocarcinoma, we developed multiple tumor spheroid forming lines where RB restoration could be achieved after characterization of the degree of each spheroid’s lineage commitment and metastatic ability. Surprisingly, we discovered that RB inactivation dramatically promoted tumor spheroid forming potential in tumors that arise in the KrasLSL-G12D/+; p53flox/flox lung adenocarcinoma model. However, RB reactivation had no effect on the maintenance of tumor spheroid lines once established. Additionally, we show that RB-deficient tumor spheroid lines are not uniformly metastatically competent but are equally likely to be non-metastatic. Interestingly, unlike tumor spheroid maintenance, RB restoration could functionally revert metastatic tumor spheroids to a non-metastatic cell state. Thus, strategies to reinstate RB-pathway activity in lung cancer may reverse metastatic ability and have therapeutic potential. Finally, the acquisition of tumor spheroid forming potential reflects underlying cell state plasticity, which is often predictive of, or even conflated with metastatic ability. Our data support that each is a discrete cell state restricted by RB and question the suitability of tumor spheroid models for their predictive potential of advanced metastatic tumor cell states.

We show that RB regulates cell state plasticity, tumor spheroid formation, and metastatic competency. Our data indicate that these are independent states where spheroid formation is distinct from metastatic competency. Thus, we caution against conflating spheroid formation and other signs of cell state plasticity with advanced metastatic cell states. Nevertheless, our work supports clinical strategies to reactivate RB pathways.

Project description:E2F transcription factors are central regulators of cell cycle progression and cell fate decisions in mammalian cells. E2F4 is a transcriptional repressor implicated in cell cycle arrest and whose repressive activity depends on its interaction with members of the RB family. E2F4 often represents the predominant E2F activity in cells. Here we show that E2F4 is important for the proliferation and the survival of mouse embryonic stem cells. In these cells, E2F4 acts in part as a transcriptional activator that promotes the expression of cell cycle genes. Importantly, this role for E2F4 is completely independent of the RB family. Accordingly, an unbiased analysis of the E2F4 interactome shows that E2F4 functionally interacts with chromatin regulators associated with gene activation in RB family-mutant cells. Taken together, our findings uncover a non-canonical role for E2F4 that reveal novel insights into the biology of rapidly dividing cell types.

Project description:Immortal spheroids were generated from fetal mouse intestine using the culture system developed to culture organoids from adult intestinal epithelium. Spheroids are made of a monostratified polarized epithelium displaying a poorly differentiated intestinal phenotype. The proportion of spheroids generated from intestinal explants progressively decreases from fetal to postnatal period, with a corresponding increase in production of organoids. Spheroid cells show indefinite self-renewing properties but exhibit a transcriptome strikingly different from that of adult intestinal stem cells reminiscent of incompletely caudalized progenitors. The receptor Lgr4, but not Lgr5, is essential for their growth. Trop2/Tacstd2 and Cnx43/Gja1, two markers highly enriched in spheroids, are expressed throughout the E14 intestinal epithelium. Comparison of in utero and neonatal lineage tracing using Cnx43-CreER and Lgr5-CreERT2 mice identified spheroid-generating cells as developmental progenitors involved in generation of the prenatal intestinal epithelium. Ex vivo, spheroid cells have the potential to differentiate into organoids, thus qualifying them as a new type of intestinal stem-like cells. Two-channel microarray experiments were performed from spheroid/organoid pairs isolated each from a given embryo. Following initial seeding of small intestine from a given embryo/mouse (at E16, E18 or P0), spheroids and organoids were selectively picked up for each animal and replated for 3 passages to reach sample homogeneity. Hybridization was performed on the 4 independent pairs with dye-swap.
