Project description:Cell-in-cell (CIC) structures have been suggested to mediate intracellular substance transport between cells and have been found widely in inflammatory lung tissue of asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of CIC structures in inflammatory progress of asthma. CIC structures and related inflammatory pathways were analyzed in asthmatic lung tissue and normal lung tissue of mouse model. In vitro, the activation of inflammatory pathways by CIC mediated intercellular communication was analyzed by RNA-Seq and verified by western blotting and immunofluorescence. Results showed CIC structures of lymphocytes and alveolar epithelial cells in asthmatic lung tissue mediated intercellular substance (such as mitochondria) transfer and promoted pro-inflammation in two phases. At early phase, internal lymphocytes triggered inflammasome dependent pro-inflammation and cell death of itself. Then degraded lymphocytes released cellular contents such as mitochondria inside alveolar epithelial cells, further activated multi-pattern-recognition receptors and NF-kappa Bsignalingpathways of alveolar epithelial cells, thereby amplified pro-inflammatory response in asthma. Our work supplements the mechanism of asthma pro-inflammation progression from the perspective of CIC structure of lymphocytes and alveolar epithelial cells, and provides a new idea for anti-inflammatory therapy of asthma.

Project description:In the social amoebae (Dictyostelia) quorum sensing system mediates aggregation of single cells into multicellular aggregates by chemotactic movement towards gradients of diffusible molecules known as acrasins. The acrasin of P. violaceum is the unusual dipeptide N-propionyl-gamma-L-glutamyl-L-ornithine-delta-lactam-ethylester, known as glorin. Phylogenetic analysis has indicated that P. violaceum is more related to the most derived group 4 dictyostelids than to the ancient group 2 polysphondylids such as P. pallidum. Nevertheless it has been reported that P. pallidum cells respond to glorin in chemotaxis assays. This has led to the assumption that glorin-based communication may be the most ancient form of intercellular communication that Dictyostelia invented to organize early steps of multicellular development. In this study we show that glorin mediates rapid changes in gene expression at the transition from vegetative growth to aggregation, apparently without pronounced cross-talk with the cyclic AMP-based communication system that coordinates post-aggregation events in this species. We describe glorin-mediated changes in gene expression in the social amoeba Polysphondylium pallidum at the transition from unicellular growth to multicellular development. Comparison of gene expression in growing cells versus cells starving for 2 or 3 hours in the presence or absence of glorin.

Project description:Metastasis is a major cause of mortality, and remains a final frontier in the search for a cure for cancer. While there has been much research on the ‘seed’ (metastatic tumor cells) and the ‘soil’ (colonized host tissue), interactions between metastatic cancer cells and stromal endothelial cells, which occur at multiple stages during metastasis, are less well understood. Here we report a dynamic regulation of the endothelium by cancer cells through the formation of nanoscale intercellular membrane bridges, which act as physical conduits for intercellular communication in vitro and in vivo, including horizontal transfer of microRNAs (miRNA). The communication between the tumor cell and the endothelium upregulates markers associated with pathological endothelium, which is reversed by pharmacological inhibition of these nanoscale conduits. These results lead us to define the notion of “metastatic hijack”: cancer cell-induced transformation of healthy endothelium into pathological endothelium via horizontal communication through the nanoscale conduits. Pharmacological perturbation of these nanoscale membrane bridges decreases metastatic foci in syngeneic- and human xenograft-breast cancer models. Targeting the formation of these nanoscale membrane bridges may potentially emerge as a new therapeutic opportunity in the management of metastatic cancer. A miRNA microarray was used to evaluate the transport of endogenous microRNAs. The intercellular transfer-ve and intercellular transfer+ve samples were sorted from the same endothelial cell population with the only difference being the occurrence of intercellular transport. The heat map shows potential miRNA candidates for exogenous transfer on two independent biological replicates. These miRNA candidates were significantly up-regulated in the cells receiving transfer of intercellular contents. HUVECs that were not exposed to cancer cells were used as a baseline control.

Project description:Intercellular communication drives directed flows of information that are mediated by intracellular gene modules, in turn triggering outflows of other signals. Methodologies to describe such intercellular flows are severely lacking. We present FlowSig, a method that infers communication-driven intercellular flows from scRNA-seq using graphical causal modeling and conditional independence. We used human cortical organoid samples collected at D18 and D35 to demonstrate the functions of FlowSig.

Project description:Ewing and osteosarcoma are bone sarcomas that occur predominantly in adolescents. In the setting of metastatic or recurrent disease, overall prognosis is poor. While immunotherapy is effective for some adult soft tissue sarcoma, limited success has been achieved with immunotherapy for pediatric bone sarcomas. To better understand antitumor immunity in Ewing and osteosarcoma patients, we performed single-cell RNAseq on peripheral blood and tumor infiltrating immune populations using 10X Genomics droplet-based approach. We also included peripheral blood from healthy adolescent blood donors as a comparator. Utilizing these transcriptional profiles, we characterized tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells and myeloid cells and identified intercellular communication networks in both primary and recurrent disease.
