Establishment of objective criteria for selecting relevant intestinal cell-based models

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to make use of gene expression signatures and functional assays to delineate differences between various intestinal colon carcinoma cell lines and normal intestinal epithelium to assess their appropriateness as a tumor model or for drug absorption studies. [Cell lines] Total RNA of biological replicate samples (i.e.different passages) from a panel of cell lines was collected and resulting amplified cRNA hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Samples are labeled as follows: SampleNumber_CellLine. [Laser dissected tumor cells (LDM)] Total RNA of three different samples laser dissected tumor cells, normal colonocytes, and enterocytes of ileum and two samples of jejunum was collected and resulting amplified cRNA hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Samples are labeled as follows: SampleNumber_TissueType_Origin.

Project description:Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic hepatotoxins produced worldwide by various species of cyanobacteria. Their structure includes two variable amino acids (AAs) and most of the studies focused on the most toxic variant: the microcystin LR (MC-LR). However, more than 80 MC variants have been described to date. Despite ingestion being the major pathway of human exposure, few in vivo studies have demonstrated macroscopic effects on the gastro-intestinal tract, but no data are available on the affected pathways by several variants on intestinal cells. Here, using a non-selective method, we investigated for the first time the effect of MC-RR and MC-LR on the human intestinal cell line Caco-2 and compared their response at the pangenomic scale. The cells were incubated for 4 hrs or 24 hrs with the same range of sub-lethal concentrations of MC-RR or MC-LR. Low effects were observed for both variants after a short-term exposure. On the contrary, dose-dependent modulations of the genes transcription levels were noticed with MC-RR and MC-LR after 24 hrs. Furthermore, the genomic profiles induced by both variants were similar suggesting a common toxicity mechanism but with higher modulation following MC-LR than MC-RR exposure. However, the functional annotation revealed major differences between the variants effects. Indeed, the well-known MC-LR affected mainly two pathways, the oxidative stress response and the cell cycle regulation, which did not elicit significant alteration following MC-RR exposure. This work is the first comparative description of the MC-LR and MC-RR effects on a human intestinal cell model. It allowed us to suggest differences in the mechanism of toxicity for MC-RR and MC-LR. These results illustrate that the toxicity of MC variants remains a key point for risk assessment. Differentiated Caco-2 cells were exposed to microcystins in free FCS culture medium for either 4 or 24 hours. Sub-lethal concentrations of 10, 50 and 100 M-BM-5M of MC-LR or MC-RR were chosen for 4 hours, while 1, 5 and 10 M-BM-5M were selected for 24 hours. For each condition (including the controls), the solvent concentration was fixed to 2% EtOH for MC-LR and 1.5% of 80% MeOH for MC-RR. Four to five culture replicates per condition were done.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer is a very heterogeneous disease and remains the most lethal gynaecological malignancy in the Western world. Rational therapeutic approaches need to account for interpatient and intratumoral heterogeneity in treatment design. Detailed characterization of in vitro models representing the different histological and molecular subtypes is therefore imperative. Strikingly, from ~100 available ovarian cancer cell lines the origin and which subtype they represent is largely unknown. We have extensively and uniformly characterized 39 ovarian cancer cell lines (with mRNA/microRNA expression, exon sequencing, dose response curves for clinically relevant therapeutics) and obtained all available information on the clinical features and tissue of origin of the original ovarian cancer to refine the putative histological subtypes. From 39 ovarian cell lines, 14 were assigned as high-grade serous, four serous-type, one low-grade serous and 20 non-serous type. Three morphological subtypes (21 Epithelial, 7 Round, 12 Spindle) were identified that showed distinct biological and molecular characteristics, including overexpression of cell movement and migration-associated genes for the Spindle subtype. Clinical validation showed a clear association of the spindle-like tumors with metastasis, advanced stage, suboptimal debulking and poor prognosis. In addition, the morphological subtypes associated with the molecular C1-6 subtypes identified by Tothill et al. [1], Spindle clustered with C1-stromal subtype, Round with C5-mesenchymal and Epithelial with C4 subtype. We provide a uniformly generated data resource for 39 ovarian cancer cell lines, the ovarian cancer cell line panel (OCCP). This should be the basis for selecting models to develop subtype specific treatment approaches, which is very much needed to prolong the survival of ovarian cancer patients. Gene expression was measured for 32 ovarian cancer cell lines using the GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix). Morphological subtypes were assigned based on cell morphology, size, growth pattern and proliferation rate during culturing of the cell lines.
