Project description:Numerous cell states are known to comprise the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the developmental stemness and co-occurrence of these cell states remain poorly defined. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on a cohort of treatment-naive PDAC time-of-diagnosis endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) samples (n=25). We then combined these samples with surgical resection (n=6) and publicly available samples to increase statistical power (n=80). Following annotation into 25 distinct cell states, cells were scored for developmental stemness and a customized version of the Ecotyper tool was used to identify communities of co-occurring cell states in bulk RNA-seq samples (n=268). We discovered a tumor microenvironmental community comprised of aggressive basal-like malignant cells, tumor-promoting SPP1+ macrophages, and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts associated with especially poor prognosis. We also found a developmental stemness continuum with implications for survival that is present in both malignant cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). We further demonstrated that high-dimensional analyses predictive of survival are feasible using standard-of-care, time-of-diagnosis EUS-FNB specimens. In summary, we identified tumor microenvironmental and developmental stemness characteristics from a high-dimensional gene expression analysis of PDAC using human tissue specimens including time-of-diagnosis EUS-FNB samples. These reveal new connections between tumor microenvironmental composition, CAF and malignant cell stemness, and patient survival that could lead to better upfront risk stratification and more personalized upfront clinical decision-making.

Project description:Prostate cancer research has relied heavily on patient-derived cell lines, which may be used for in vitro (2-dimensional) studies or cultivated as 3-dimensional xenografts in mice. These approaches are likely to have differential impacts on cell differentiation, with implications for research outcomes. Therefore, defining and comparing the transcriptional signatures associated with 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional approaches is essential to adequately plan experiments and interpret research data. In this study, LNCaP, VCaP, and 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells were either cultivated in monolayers or as xenografts in NOD Scid mice, and their gene transcription profiles were studied and compared using microarray and RT-PCR techniques. This comparison identified gene sets featuring similar expression patterns in all three cancer cell lines and unique transcriptional signatures associated with 3-dimensional versus 2-dimensional growth. Pathway over-representation analysis revealed an enrichment of pathways related to cell-cell interactions, differentiation and the extracellular matrix. Immunohistochemical analyses confirmed that gene up-regulation in xenografts occurred in implanted cancer cells and not mouse stromal cells. Cultivating cells in vitro in the presence of mouse - rather than bovine - serum failed to elicit the gene transcription profile observed in xenografts, further supporting the hypothesis that this profile reflects 3-dimensional growth and enhanced microenvironmental interactions, rather than exposure to mouse-related factors. Overall, these findings define the expression profiles observed in prostate cancer cells cultivated in monolayers and in xenografts, highlighting differentially regulated pathways in each setting and providing essential information for performing and interpreting research in this field.

Project description:Multi-dimensional genomic analysis identifies a class of breast cancer patients with high metastatic outcome and differential response to chemotherapeutic drugs The application of multi-dimensional genomic analyses might provide a more refined risk assessment of breast tumor aggressiveness and improve the selection of patients for personalized medicine. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using CNAs to predict patient outcome. In combination with gene expression profiles, the clinical implication for such prognostic assays is the identification of breast cancer patients at different risks and sensitivities to chemotherapeutic drugs.

Project description:Radiotherapy of head and neck cancer is accompanied by unavoidable co-irradiation of the salivary gland, often resulting in hyposalivation and reduced quality of life. Irradiated salivary gland tissue is characterized by the presence of cellular senescence, fibrosis, and a chronic inflammatory state changing the cellular microenvironment. These microenvironmental changes may be unfavorable for the regenerative potential of tissue stem cells inhibiting regenerative medicine options. Therefore, we investigated microenvironmental changes of the irradiated murine salivary gland and their effect on the potency of salivary gland stem/progenitor cells (SGSCs). After 15 Gy local irradiation of murine salivary glands, alongside an in time advancing decline in function, the submandibular gland (SMG) showed extensive fibrosis, p21-expressing senescent cells, and immune cell infiltration, all indicative of microenvironmental changes. Additionally, irradiated SMG contained a lower number of CD24++/CD29++ and CD24++/CD29+ stem/progenitor cell enrichment marker-expressing cells 30 days post-irradiation which coincides with a reduction in salisphere formation potential over time. However, after subsequent passaging of organoids derived from glands obtained 14 days after irradiation, and to a lesser extent at 30 days post-irradiation, the ability to form secondary organoids recovered to control levels. In contrast, cells obtained from glands at 90, 180, and 360 days post-irradiation irreversibly lost their ability to form organoids, indicating a time-dependent loss of regenerative potential. Transcriptomic analysis showed overexpression of Bmp4 in day 90 organoids derived from irradiated glands compared to the ones from day 14. Inhibition of Bmp4 using Noggin reversed this adverse response suggesting an important role in modulating SGSC function. Thus, early after irradiation, the regenerative potential of surviving SGSCs is preserved and comparable to that of unirradiated cells. At later time points after irradiation, SGSCs lose their regenerative potential suggesting that the prolonged exposure to a deleterious microenvironment leads to an irreversible decline in stemness. Modulation of Bmp4 signaling pathway might improve the regenerative potential of surviving SGSCs and enhance the efficiency of stem cell therapy in restoring the functionality of irradiated salivary glands.
