Expression data of hiPSC-derived anterior foregut endoderm cells (AFECs), ventral anterior foregut cells (VAFECs), EpCAM+CPM+ and EpCAM+CPM- cells and CPM+ cells sorted from VAFECs

ABSTRACT: Specific surface marker for NKX2-1+ VAFECs may be helpful for isolating a homogeneous population of alveolar epithelial progenitor cells and distinguishing the differentiation from a thyroid lineage to a lung lineage. In order to identify specific markers of VAFECs, a microarray analysis was performed to compare the global gene expression patterns between AFECs and VAFECs in 201B7 hiPSCs. We hypothesized that NKX2-1+ cells could be purified by sorting CPM+ VAFECs. After dissociating VAFECs cells on day 14 with Accutase, FACS was performed using anti-EPCAM and anti-CPM antibodies. EPCAM+CPM+ and EPCAM+CPM- cells were then sorted, and the global gene expression patterns of these two populations were examined using a microarray analysis. In addition, MACS was performed to obtain CPM+ cells for comparison. We extracted total RNA from hiPSCs-derived AFECs, VAFECs, EPCAM+CPM+ and EPCAM+CPM- VAFECs and CPM+ VAFECs and hybridized them to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Background: The Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) has been shown to be strongly expressed in human breast cancer and cancer stem cells and its overexpression has been supposed to support tumor progression and metastasis. However, effects of EpCAM overexpression on normal breast epithelial cells have never been studied before. Therefore, we analyzed effects of transient adenoviral overexpression of EpCAM on proliferation, migration and differentiation of primary human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). METHODS: HMECs were transfected by an adenoviral system for transient overexpression of EpCAM. Thereafter, changes in cell proliferation and migration were studied using a real time measurement system. Target gene expression was evaluated by transcriptome analysis in proliferating and polarized HMEC cultures. A Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) xenograft model was used to study effects on in vivo growth of HMECs. RESULTS: EpCAM overexpression in HMECs did not significantly alter gene expression profile of proliferating or growth arrested cells. Proliferating HMECs displayed predominantly glycosylated EpCAM isoforms and were inhibited in cell proliferation and migration by upregulation of p27KIP1 and p53. HMECs with overexpression of EpCAM showed a down regulation of E-cadherin. Moreover, cells were more resistant to TGF-beta1 induced growth arrest and maintained longer capacities to proliferate in vitro. EpCAM overexpressing HMECs xenografts in chicken embryos showed hyperplastic growth, lack of lumen formation and increased infiltrates of the chicken leukocytes. CONCLUSIONS: EpCAM revealed oncogenic features in normal human breast cells by, inducing resistance to TGF-beta1-mediated growth arrest and supporting a cell phenotype with longer proliferative capacities in vitro. EpCAM overexpression resulted in hyperplastic growth in vivo. Thus, we suggest that EpCAM acts as a prosurvival factor counteracting terminal differentiation processes in normal mammary glands. For each gene a representative transcript probe set was selected based on a score that combines average expression and variation of expression across all samples. Transcript probe sets with more than 4 probes were preferred. Differential expression analysis between EPCAM over-expressing and control cells (expressing GFP) was performed using a paired moderated t-test employing functions provided by Bioconductor's limma package. p-values were subsequently adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing using the method from Benjamini and Hochberg for a strong control of the false discovery rate.
