Project description:The subset of GBM patient samples gives rise to adherent cultures even in sphere culture conditions. Most samples in this subset are tumorigenic and exhibit a hybrid expression profile when tested with the marker panel. Cultures from these samples have a predominantly mesenchymal character based on substrate adherence, morphology, differentiation potential and gene expression. Total RNA isolated from glioblastoma stem cells (GSC) cultured as spheres was compared to that from adherent GSCs cultured in sphere culture conditions that exhibited both GSC and mesenchymal properties.

Spheres culture from lung adenocarcinoma pleural effusions

Project description:Briefly, we analyzed gene expression profiles in adherent cultures compared to sphere cultures from malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). MPEs could represent an opportunity to culture a wide variety of cancer cells from different donors. In this study, we set up culture conditions for cancer cells deriving from MPEs of several patients affected by the most frequent form of lung cancer, namely the subset of non small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) classified as Lung Adenocarcinomas, to show that MPEs are an excellent source of tumor initiating cells for the study of lung adenocarcinoma.

Direct contact with mesenchymal stromal cells impacts CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells during ex-vivo expansion

Project description:Direct contact with mesenchymal stromal impacts on migratory behavior and gene expression profile of CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells during ex-vivo expansion Objective: To investigate the impact of direct contact between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in terms of expansion potential differentiation, migratory capacity and gene expression profile. Methods: CD133+ purified HSCs were cultured for 7 days on subconfluent MSCs supplemented with growth factor containing medium. After ex-vivo expansion, non-adherent and adherent cells were collected and analyzed separately. Results: The adherent cells were found to have a more immature phenotype compared to the non-adherent fraction. CXCR4 was up regulated in the adherent fraction which was associated with a higher migration capacity towards a SDF-1 gradient. CFU-GM and LTC-IC assays demonstrated a higher clonogenicity and repopulating capacity of the adherent fraction. Genes involved in adhesion, cell cycle control, motility, self-renewal and apoptosis were expressed at a higher level in the adherent fraction. Conclusion: Adhesion and direct cell-cell contact with a MSC feeder layer supports ex-vivo expansion, migratory potential and stemness of CD133+ HSCs. Keywords: co-culture hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)

A molecular 'signature' of primary breast cancer cultures; patterns resembling tumor tissue.

Project description:Background To identify the spectrum of malignant attributes maintained outside the host environment, we have compared global gene expression in primary breast tumors and matched short-term epithelial cultures. Results In contrast to immortal cell lines, a characteristic 'limited proliferation' phenotype was observed, which included over expressed genes associated with the TGFbeta signal transduction pathway, such as SPARC, LOXL1, RUNX1, and DAPK1. Underlying this profile was the conspicuous absence of hTERT expression and telomerase activity, a significant increase in TGFbeta receptor2, its cognate ligand, and the CDK inhibitor, p21CIP1/WAF1. Concurrently, tumor tissue and primary cultures displayed low transcript levels of proliferation-related genes, such as, TOP2A, ANKT, RAD51, UBE2C, CENPA, RRM2, and PLK. Conclusions Our data demonstrate that commonly used immortal cell lines do not reflect some aspects of tumor biology as closely as primary tumor cell cultures. The gene expression profile of malignant tissue, which is uniquely retained by cells cultured on solid substrates, could facilitate the development and testing of novel molecular targets for breast cancer. An all pairs experiment design type is where all labeled extracts are compared to every other labeled extract. Keywords: all_pairs

Gene expression analysis reveals close resemblance between Glioblastoma (GBM) patient tumors and corresponding patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOXs)

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOXs) were derived from organotypic spheroids obtained from patient tumor samples. To detect whether gene expression profiles of GBM patient tumors are retained in PDOXs, we performed genome-wide transcript analysis by human-specific microarrays . In parallel, we analyzed GBM cell cultures and corresponding intracranial xenografts from stem-like (NCH421k, NCH644) and adherent GBM cell lines (U87, U251). PDOXs show a better transcriptomic resemblance with patient tumors than other preclinical models. The major difference is largely explained by the depletion of human-derived non-malignant cells.

Expression data of 3 prostate cancer stem cell primary lines comparing spheres and parental/adherent culture

Project description:Transcriptional profile of PCSC spheres in SCM-1% KO (stem-like cells) vs adherent cultures in PCSC-Celprogen medium (differentiated-like cells) Two-condition experiment: Sphere vs. Parental/adherent cells. Biological replicates: 2 sphere replicates , 2 adherent replicates. Early passaged tumor cells were expanded in adherent conditions and then plated in sphere forming conditions (SCM-1KO% medium at low density) to isolate sphere growing cells.
