Project description:We used single cell RNA sequencing to confirm that Ai9 reporter accurately labeled the cell of interest in an Osc-Cre tartgeted mouse model.
Project description:TGF-β regulates fetale bone marrow niche emergence. Abrogating TGF-β signaling in mesenchymal cells during development results in a marked expansion of adipocytes and CAR cells in the bone marrow, while osteoblasts are reduced. RNA expression data from Osx-Cre targeted mesenchymal stromal cells obtained from E16.5 mouse hindlimbs of transgenic mice lacking Tgfbr2 in mesenchymal stromal cells or littermate controls.

Project description:Purpose: We have used microarrays to identify gene expression profiles that distinguish mouse OS cells from normal pre-osteoblast cells and mature osteoblast cells. Methods: Transcriptional profiles of three cell lines derived from tumors from Osx-Cre p53fl/fl Rbfl/fl (fibroblastic OS) mouse model, and from pre-osteoblast cells (Kusa4b10 mouse bone marrow stromal cell line) and osteoblast cells (derived by in vitro differentiation of the Kusab410 mouse bone marrow stromal cell line) were generated by microarray analysis, each in triplicate, using Affymetrix mouse Gene1.0ST arrays. Transcriptional profiles were analyzed in cell lines derived from tumors from a genetically engineered mouse model of human osteosarcoma (Osx-Cre p53fl/fl Rbfl/fl) and osteoblast cells derived from the Kusa4b10 mouse bone marrow stromal cell line, in the undifferentiated state (pre-osteoblasts) and differentiated state (osteoblasts).

Project description:The bone marrow in mammals house both hematopoietic and mesenchymal cells that are responsible for sustaining blood and bone cell production, respectively, throughout adult life. Although the hematopoietic system is well understood, the molecular identities, hierarchy of the marrow mesenchymal cells and their respective contribution to bone homeostasis are just beginning to be unraveled. By employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology, we have discovered a subset of bone marrow mesenchymal cells co-expressing adiponectin (Adipoq) and osterix (Osx) which are traditionally considered adipocyte or osteoblast markers, respectively. Trajectory analyses predict the Adipoq+Osx+ bi-marker cells to be common progenitors for osteoblasts and marrow adipogenic lineage cells. Lineage tracing with Osx-CreERT2 or Adipoq-CreERT2 supports that the bi-marker cells give rise to both osteoblasts and adipocytes in vivo. Imaging studies localize the bi-marker cells to the endosteal bone niche. The data therefore support the hypothesis that Adipoq+Osx+ bi-marker cells are adipo-osteoprogenitors attuned to the physiological milieu in the bone marrow. The studies have shed light on the role of the adipo- osteoprogenitors in bone physiology and pathophysiology.
Project description:Tumor cell survival critically depends on heterotypic communication with benign cells in the microenvironment. Here we describe a novel survival signaling pathway activated in stromal cells by contact to B-cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. The expression of PKC-M-NM-2II and the subsequent activation of NF-M-NM-:B in bone marrow stromal cells is a prerequisite to support the survival of malignant B-cells. PKC-M-NM-2 knockout mice are insusceptible to CLL-transplantations, underscoring the in vivo significance of the PKC-M-NM-2II- NF-M-NM-:B signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment. Upregulated stromal PKC-M-NM-2II in biopsies from CLL, breast- and pancreatic- cancer patients suggest that this pathway may commonly be activated in a variety of malignancies. We used microarrays to determine Nemo/ IKK-gamma dependent gene expression changes in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) induced by co-culturing with leukemic B-cells (CLL) We compared mouse BMSC cells from Nemo knockout cells (Nemo+CRE) and Nemo wild type cells (Nemo-CRE) co-cultured for 5 days with leukemic B-cells microarray analysis on Affymetrix MG-430_2.0 arrays..
