Project description:The mechanisms that prevent regeneration of irradiated (IR) salivary glands remain elusive. Bulk RNAseq of IR versus non-IR human salivary glands showed that neurotrophin signaling is highly disrupted post-radiation. Moreover, neurotrophin receptors (NTRs) are significantly upregulated in myoepithelial cells (MECs) post-IR, and scRNAseq revealed that MECs are a main source of neurotrophin ligands. Using two ex vivo models, we show that nerve growth factor (NGF) is essential for MEC differentiation during development, whereas upregulation of NTRs in adult MECs is associated with differentiation defects. The latter morphological abnormalities were confirmed in MECs of human IR glands. As MECs are required for proper acinar cell contraction and secretion, we propose that MEC-specific upregulation of NTRs post-IR disrupts MEC differentiation and potentially hinders the ability of the gland to regenerate.

Project description:Myoepithelial and luminal cells synergistically expand in the mammary gland during pregnancy, and this process is precisely governed by hormone-related signaling pathways. The BMP signaling pathway is now known to play crucial roles in all organ systems. However, the functions of BMP signaling in the mammary gland remain unclear. Here, we found that Bmpr1a is upregulated by hormone-induced Sp1 at pregnancy. Using a doxycycline (Dox)-inducible Bmpr1a conditional knockout mouse model, we demonstrated that loss of Bmpr1a results in compromised myoepithelial integrity, reduced mammary stem cells and precocious alveolar differentiation during pregnancy. Mechanistically, Bmpr1a regulates the expression of p63 and Slug, two key regulators of myoepithelial maintenance, through pSmad1/5-Smad4 complexes, and consequently activate P-cadherin during pregnancy. Collectively, these findings identify a novel role of BMP signaling in maintaining the identity of myoepithelial cells and suppressing precocious alveolar formation.

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.

Project description:We describe the gene expression profiles and enhancer landscape of normal myoepithelial cells and perturbations of these in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers and in DCIS. We identified a myoepithelial transcription regulatory network orchestrated by p63 and TCF7 and defined the genomic targets of these transcription factors by ChIP-seq. While the majority of myoepithelial cells co-express p63 and TCF7 in normal breast of healthy women, the frequency of these cells is significantly lower in BRCA1 mutation carriers and in DCIS. Downregulation of p63 in MCF10DCIS cells leads to loss of myoepithelial cells and invasive tumors, whereas overexpression of TCF7 enhances tumor growth. Our findings suggest that loss of normal myoepithelial cell function facilitates in situ to invasive carcinoma transition and it may also enhance tumor initiation in BRCA mutation carriers.

Project description:Neurotrophins are growth factors that are known to have a role in promoting cell survival and differentiation. The focus of the current study is to examine the role of neurotrophins in regulating ovarian primordial follicle development. Ovaries from 4-day old rats were placed into organ culture and cultured for 10 days in the absence or presence of neurotrophin-3 (NT3), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or nerve growth factor (NGF). Treatment of ovaries with NT3 resulted in a significant (P<0.01) increase in primordial follicle development (i.e. primordial to primary follicle transition). Treatment with BDNF at high doses of 100â250 ng/ml also significantly (P<0.01) increased primordial follicle development, but NGF had no effect. Immunohistochemical studies determined that NT3 was present in granulosa cells, interstitial tissue, and in the oocytes of primordial and primary follicles. The NT3 receptor NTRK3 was present in oocytes at all stages of development. Analysis of ovaries that contain predominantly primordial follicles demonstrated the transcripts for NT3, NTRK3, NGF, and the BDNF/neurotrophin-4 (NT4) receptor NTRK2 are expressed, while BDNF, NT4, and the NGF receptor NTRK1 are not detectable. Inhibition of the NTRK3 receptor with the tyrophostin AG 879 resulted in oocyte death and a significant (P<0.01) reduction in follicle pool size. Inhibition of the NTRK receptors with K252a slowed primordial to primary follicle transition. A microarray analysis demonstrated that a small number of genes were differentially expressed after NT3 treatment. Observations indicate that the neurotrophin NT3, acting through the NTRK3 receptor in oocytes, promotes the primordial to primary follicle transition. Reproduction (2009) 138, pp. 697-707 We used microarrays to determine genes expressed differentially between control and NT3 (neurotrophin-3) treated P4 ovary. RNA samples from 3 control groups are compared to 3 NT3 treated ovary groups.
