Project description:Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most prevalent intraocular malignant tumor in children with less than 30% survival rate globally. Rb genetic predisposition has been well defined for decades, whereas its developmental origin and drug agents remain largely unexplored. Here we developed the first organoidal retinoblastoma model derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with a biallelic knockout (RB1-/-) or mutagenesis (RB1Mut/Mut) of the RB1 gene, which exhibit extreme consistent properties of Rb tumorigenesis, transcriptome, and genome-wide methylation. Using single-cell RNA-seq and immunostaining of this model, we found that developmentally Rb originated from ARR3+ maturing cone precursors and a new cell type of unfolded protein response occurred in the organoidal retinoblastoma. A key PI3K-Akt pathway was aberrantly regulated, and its strong activator SYK (encoding proto-oncogenic spleen tyrosine kinase) was significantly upregulated in the cancerous organoids. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the SYK inhibitors, A502 and B502, have more significant therapeutic response on the early-stage organoidal retinoblastoma compared to four well-established chemotherapeutic drugs in clinic. Collectively, we established a brand-new organoidal retinoblastoma model derived from human ESCs in-a-dish and discovered its cell-of-origin and potential drug agents, shedding light on development and therapeutics of human cancers.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most prevalent intraocular malignancy in children, with a worldwide survival rate <30%. We have developed a cancerous model of Rb in retinal organoids derived from genetically engineered human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with a biallelic mutagenesis of the RB1 gene. These organoid Rbs exhibit properties highly consistent with Rb tumorigenesis, transcriptome, and genome-wide methylation. Single-cell sequencing analysis suggests that Rb originated from ARR3-positive maturing cone precursors during development, which was further validated by immunostaining. Notably, we found that the PI3K-Akt pathway was aberrantly deregulated and its activator spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) was significantly up-regulated. In addition, SYK inhibitors led to remarkable cell apoptosis in cancerous organoids. In conclusion, we have established an organoid Rb model derived from genetically engineered hESCs in a dish that has enabled us to trace the cell of origin and to test novel candidate therapeutic agents for human Rb, shedding light on the development and therapeutics of other malignancies.

Project description:It is widely believed that the molecular and cellular features of a tumor reflect its cell-of-origin and can thus provide clues about treatment targets. The retinoblastoma cell-of-origin has been debated for over a century. Here we report that human and mouse retinoblastomas have molecular, cellular, and neurochemical features of multiple cell classes, principally amacrine/horizontal interneurons, retinal progenitor cells, and photoreceptors. Importantly, single-cell gene expression array analysis showed that these multiple cell type–specific developmental programs are coexpressed in individual retinoblastoma cells, which creates a progenitor/neuronal hybrid cell. Importantly, neurotransmitter receptors, transporters, and biosynthetic enzymes are expressed in human retinoblastoma, and targeted disruption of these pathways reduces retinoblastoma growth in vivo and in vitro. Our finding that retinoblastoma tumor cells express multiple neuronal differentiation programs that are normally incompatible in development suggests that the pathways that control retinal development and establish distinct cell types are perturbed during tumorigenesis. Therefore, the cell-of-origin for retinoblastoma cannot be inferred from the features of the tumor cells themselves. However, we now have a detailed understanding of the neuronal pathways that are deregulated in retinoblastoma and targeting the catecholamine and indolamine receptors or downstream components could provide useful therapeutic approaches in future studies. This example highlights the importance of comprehensive molecular, cellular and physiological characterization of human cancers with single cell resolution as we incorporate molecular targeted therapy into treatment regimens. 20 single cells isolated from primary pediatric retinoblastoma tumors were assayed to asses the within tumor consistency of expression signals

Project description:Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor of the retina which most often occurs in children below 5 years of age with an incident rate of about 1 in 15,000 to 18,000 live births. Retinoblastoma is the first ever cancer that was reported to have a genetic basis. It occurs widely due to inactivating mutations in RB1 gene. Gene expression studies, copy number variation analysis, epigenetic profiling including miRNA and methylation of retinoblastoma has been carried to understand the disease mechanism and key players in the disease. Our group has earlier performed differential proteomics of retinoblastoma to identify proteins of therapeutic importance. However, there are no studies to understand the signalling mechanisms associated with retinoblastoma. Hence, global phosphoproteomics of retinoblastoma was carried out to identify signalling events associated with this cancer. Our study identified stress response proteins to be hyper phosphorylated which included H2AFX and sirtuin 1. In particular, Ser140 of H2AFX also known as gamma-H2AX was found to be hyperphosphorylated in retinoblastoma that indicated activation of DNA damage response pathways. We also observed activation of anti-apoptotic proteins in retinoblastoma compared to control. These observations showed activation of survival pathways and signalling networks activated in tumors.
