Project description:Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that affects predominantly women, is characterized by proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells in the lungs, destruction of lung tissue, upregulation of VEGF-D, and growth of lymphatic vessels inducing a loss of pulmonary function. TSC2 gene mutations that render TSC2 inactive are a common finding associated with LAM. To better understand the function of the TSC2 gene, we sought to characterize differences in the transcriptome of cells where TSC2 is inactivated. RNA-Seq was used to measure transcript expression differences between TSC2-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts and TSC2-expressed mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The Illumina TruSeq method was used to prepare stranded poly(A)-selected RNA-Seq libraries, and 100bp paired-end reads were generated with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 instrument in high output mode. RNA-Seq data was analyzed using kallisto (http://pachterlab.github.io/kallisto/) and R.

TSC2 gene mutations that render TSC2 inactive are a common finding associated with LAM. To better understand the function of the TSC2 gene in LAM , we sought to characterize differences in the transcriptome of cells where TSC2 is inactivated. RNA-Seq was used to measure transcript expression differences between a human TSC2-null angiolipoma cell line derived from an individual with LAM, and the same cell line with re-expressed TSC2 to serve as a control. The Illumina TruSeq method was used to prepare poly(A)-selected stranded RNA-Seq libraries, and 100bp paired-end reads were generated with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 instrument in high output mode.

Project description:Patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) develop nodules of cells within the lung parenchyma. These lesions contain both TSC2-/- LAM cells, and wild type fibroblasts. We investigated the effect of TSC2-/- cells on the transcriptional profile of both normal fibroblasts and fibroblasts isolated from LAM patient tissue (LAFs) using Affymetrix Gene Chip arrays, to identify upregulated pathways which could contribute to LAM pathology. We used Affymetrix microarrays to detail the changes in the global profile of gene expression in fibroblasts following co-culture with 621-101 cells, and identified upregulation of several chemokines, indicating that the fibroblasts had adopted an inflammatory phenotype.

Project description:Rationale: Increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). Objectives: To investigate how TSC1 or TSC2 deficiency alters MMP expression and regulation. Methods: We studied immortalized cells that lack TSC2 derived from an angiomyolipoma (AML) of a LAM patient, and a TSC2 add back derivative; and murine embryonic fibroblast cells that lack Tsc1 or Tsc2 and respective controls. Global gene expression analysis was carried out in the AML and derivative cell lines. MMP levels in the conditioned media from these cells were analyzed by zymography and ELISA. Measurements and Main Results: We found increased MMP-2 expression in cells lacking TSC1/TSC2 compared to their respective controls by zymography. MMP-2 overproduction by these cells was not affected by rapamycin treatment. Gene expression analysis confirmed increased MMP-2 gene expression that was not affected by rapamycin. Furthermore, multiple other genes were found to be over-expressed in rapamycin-treated TSC2-deficient cells compared to TSC2+ cells. Conclusions: We conclude that TSC1/TSC2 deficiency leads to MMP-2 overproduction that is rapamycin insensitive, and that several genes exhibit similar patterns suggesting TSC1/TSC2 dependent but mTOR independent pathways may be involved in the pathogenesis of LAM.

Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease involving cystic lung destruction by invasive LAM cells. These cells harbor loss-of-function mutations in TSC2, conferring hyperactive mTORC1 signaling. Here, tissue engineering tools are employed to model LAM and identify new therapeutic candidates. Biomimetic hydrogel culture of LAM cells is found to recapitulate the molecular and phenotypic characteristics of human disease more faithfully than culture on plastic. A 3D drug screen is conducted, identifying histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors as anti-invasive agents that are also selectively cytotoxic toward TSC2−/− cells. The anti-invasive effects of HDAC inhibitors are independent of genotype, while selective cell death is mTORC1-dependent and mediated by apoptosis. Genotype-selective cytotoxicity is seen exclusively in hydrogel culture due to potentiated differential mTORC1 signaling, a feature that is abrogated in cell culture on plastic. Importantly, HDAC inhibitors block invasion and selectively eradicate LAM cells in vivo in zebrafish xenografts. These findings demonstrate that tissue-engineered disease modeling exposes a physiologically relevant therapeutic vulnerability that would be otherwise missed by conventional culture on plastic. This work substantiates HDAC inhibitors as possible therapeutic candidates for the treatment of patients with LAM and requires further study.

Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is characterized by cystic lung destruction caused by smooth, muscle-like LAM cells which have mutations in the tumor suppressor genes Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) 1 or 2, and the capacity to metastasize. Since chemokines and their receptors function in chemotaxis of metastatic cells, we hypothesized that LAM cells may be recruited by chemokine(s) in the lung. Quantification of 25 chemokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from LAM patients and healthy volunteers revealed that concentrations of MCP-1/CCL2, GROa/CXCL1 and ENA-78/CXCL5 were significantly higher in samples from LAM patients than healthy volunteers. In this transcript analysis, expression of chemokine and chemokine receptor mRNA in LAM cells differed from those in melanoma and smooth muscle cells. Subsequent immunohistochemistry of lung sections from 30 LAM patients confirmed protein expression of chemokines and these receptors varied among LAM patient and differed from that seen in breast cancer and melanoma cells. . In vitro, MCP-1/CCL2 induced selective migration of cells showing loss of heterozygosity of TSC2 from a heterogeneous populations of cells grown from explanted LAM lungs. In addition, the frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the MCP-1 gene promoter region differed significantly in LAM patients and healthy volunteers (p=0.018), and one polymorphism was associated significantly more frequently with the decline of lung function. These observations are consistent with the notion that chemokines such as MCP-1 may serve to specify site of LAM cell metastasis. Keywords: Human patient sample comparison with cell lines The study is of case/control design with biological replication. Biopsies of nodules from 14 LAM patients (cases) are compared with cultured cell lines (controls) with similar properties.

Project description:The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) family of tumor suppressors, TSC1 and TSC2, function together in an evolutionarily conserved protein complex that is a point of convergence for major cell signaling pathways that regulate mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). Mutation or aberrant inhibition of the TSC complex is common in various human tumor syndromes and cancers. The discovery of novel therapeutic strategies to selectively target cells with functional loss of this complex is therefore of substantial clinical relevance to TSC and sporadic cancers. We developed a CRISPR-based method to generate homogenous mutant Drosophila cell lines. By combining TSC1 and TSC2 mutant cell lines with RNAi screens against all kinases and phosphatases, we identified synthetic interactions with TSC1 and TSC2. Knockdown of three candidate genes (mRNA-cap, Pitslre and CycT; orthologs of RNGTT, CDK11 and CCNT1 in humans) reduced the population growth rate of both Drosophila TSC1 and TSC2 mutant cells but not that of wild-type cells. Moreover, knockdown of all three genes displayed similar selective effects in mammalian TSC2-deficient cell lines, including human tumor-derived cells, illustrating the power of this cross species screening strategy to identify potential drug targets.
