Intratumor heterogeneity caused by genetic, phenotypic or functional differences between cancer cell subpopulations is a considerable clinical challenge. Understanding subpopulation dynamics is therefore central for both optimization of existing therapy and for development of new treatment. The aim of this study was to isolate subpopulations from a primary tumor and by comparing molecular characteristics of these subpopulations, find explanations to their differing tumorigenicity.

Project description:The cellular heterogeneity of one patient derived orthotopic breast cancer xenograft model PDX was investigated using flow cytometry, combined with assessment of in vivo tumorigenicity and SNP genotyping array for copy number analysis. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was revealed as a highly specific cell surface marker of the human tumor cell population in both xenografts. Based on expression patterns observed in primary tumor tissue, SSEA-4 and CD24 were chosen as markers to further subdivide the luminal tumor cells into four subpopulations. FACS sorting was used to isolate four cell subpopulations. Results: In vivo tumorigenicity assay showed that SSEA-4+/CD24+ cells were non-tumorigenic, while the three other subpopulations were tumorigenic. Tumors resulting from the SSEA-4+/CD24- subpopulation of luminal cancer cells, did not express CD24, while tumors arising from the SSEA-4-/CD24-, and SSEA-4-/CD24+ populations both recapitulated the original tumor containing all four subpopulations. Copy number analysis comparing the four subpopulations between eachother, did reveal high similarity. Although there were some minor differencies between the subpopulations, no differences in genome aberrations could explain their difference in tumorigenicity. Discussion: Our results imply that subpopulations from one primary tumor can give rise to dissimilar daughter tumors. These tumors may not necessarily respond to the same targeted treatment, and thereby represent a therapy escape mechanism. This study highlights that to remove the risk of breast cancer recurrence, inhibition of the molecules critical for driving the tumor progression in several tumor cell subpopulations might be essential Four subpopulations were analysed using Infinium HumanOmniExpressExome BeadChip array. Replicates are not included, the HumanOmniExpressExome-8v1-2_A.egt file was used as a reference.

Project description:The cellular heterogeneity of one patient derived orthotopic breast cancer xenograft model (PDBCX) was investigated using flow cytometry , combined with assessment of in vivo tumorigenicity and whole genome expression profiling. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was revealed as a highly specific cell surface marker of the human tumor cell population in both xenografts. Based on expression patterns observed in primary tumor tissue, SSEA-4 and CD24 were chosen as markers to further subdivide the luminal tumor cells into four subpopulations. FACS sorting was used to isolate four cell subpopulations. Results: In vivo tumorigenicity assay showed that SSEA-4+/CD24+ cells were non-tumorigenic, while the three other subpopulations were tumorigenic.

Whole genome expression analysis revealed distinct transcriptional profiles, and 44 genes were significantly differentially expressed when comparing the tumorigenic vs non-tumorigenic populations. Several interesting genes putatively suppressing the cancer cells ability to initiate tumors in vivo were upregulated in the non-tumorigenic population. We here show that tumor initiating cells within one primary tumor evidently included more than one phenotype. Furthermore, with respect to cell surface marker expression, one of the subpopulations produced tumors unlike both the originating cells, and the original tumor. Discussion: Our results imply that subpopulations from one primary tumor can give rise to dissimilar daughter tumors. These tumors may not necessarily respond to the same targeted treatment, and thereby represent a therapy escape mechanism.

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of identified DRG subpopulations. Cell-type specific intrinsic programs instruct neuronal subpopulations before target-derived factors influence later neuronal maturation. Retrograde neurotrophin signaling controls neuronal survival and maturation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, but how these potent signaling pathways intersect with transcriptional programs established at earlier developmental stages remains poorly understood. Here we determine the consequences of genetic alternation of NT3 signaling on genome-wide transcription programs in proprioceptors, an important sensory neuron subpopulation involved in motor reflex behavior. We find that the expression of many proprioceptor-enriched genes is dramatically altered by genetic NT3 elimination, independent of survival-related activities. Combinatorial analysis of gene expression profiles with proprioceptors isolated from mice expressing surplus muscular NT3 identifies an anticorrelated gene set with transcriptional levels scaled in opposite directions. Voluntary running experiments in adult mice further demonstrate the maintenance of transcriptional adjustability of genes expressed by DRG neurons, pointing to life-long gene expression plasticity in sensory neurons. We combined a mouse line expressing GFP under the control of the TrkC promoter (BAC transgene approach) with various NT3 signaling mutants in order to identify the transcriptional changes in identified subpopulations of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Sorted cells were processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Analysis was performed a postnatal (p) day p0. Subsequent analysis focused on the transcriptional profile of DRG neuron subpopulations at specific lumbar levels. Additional work addressed the transcriptional changes in whole DRG in adult mice with and without physical exercise.

Project description:The t(8;21) Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) Kasumi-1cell line with N822K KIT mutation, is a model system for leukemogenesis. As AML initiating cells reside in the CD34+CD38- fraction, we addressed the refined cytogenomic characterization and miRNA expression of Kasumi-1 cell line and its FACS-sorted subpopulations focussing on this compartment. By conventional cytogenetics, Spectral Karyotyping and array-CGH the cytogenomic profile of Kasumi-1 cells evidenced only subtle regions differentially represented in CD34+CD38- cells. Expression profiling by a miRNA platform showed a set of miRNA differentially expressed in paired subpopulations and the signature of miR-584 and miR-182 upregulation in the CD34+CD38- fraction.

Project description:Fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) footprinting is a structural mass spectrometry method that maps proteins by fast and irreversible chemical reactions. The position of oxidative modification reflects solvent accessibility and site reactivity and thus provides information about protein conformation, structural dynamics, and interactions. Bottom-up mass spectrometry is an established standard method to analyze FPOP samples. In the bottom-up approach, all forms of the protein are digested together by a protease of choice, which results in mixture of peptides from various subpopulations of proteins with varying degrees of photochemical oxidation. But, once the protein is already oxidized at least once, the spatial distribution of any consecutive oxidation no longer truly reflects initial protein solvent accessibility and residue reactivity, because the site preference of further oxidation may also be influenced by the changes caused by the prior oxidation. Thus, it would be interesting to obtain an assessment of the protein structure based on the FPOP data, by analyzing only singly oxidized protein populations. This requires utilization of more specific top-down mass spectrometry approaches. The key element of any top-down experiment is selection of a suitable method of ion isolation, excitation and fragmentation. Here we employ and compare collision-induced dissociation (CID), electron-transfer dissociation (ETD), and electron-capture dissociation (ECD) combined with multi continuous accumulation of selected ions (CASI). Singly oxidized subpopulation of FPOP labeled ubiquitin was used to optimize the method. The usefulness was then demonstrated further by using it to visualize structural changes induced by cofactor removal from holo/apo myoglobin system. The top-down data were compared with the literature and with the bottom-up data set obtained on the same samples. The top-down results were found to be in a good agreement, which indicates that monitoring singly FPOP oxidized ion population by top-down is a functional workflow for oxidative protein footprinting.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by shedding during different physiological processes and are increasingly thought to be new potential biomarkers. However, the impact of pre-analytical processing phases on the final measurement is not predictable and, for this reason, the translation of basic research into clinical practice has been precluded. Here we have optimized a simple procedure in combination with PFC, to identify, classify, enumerate, and separate circulating EVs from different cell origins. This protocol takes advantage of a lipophilic cationic dye (LCD) able to probe EVs. Moreover, the application of the newly optimized PFC protocol here described allowed the obtainment of repeatable EV counts. The translation of this PFC protocol to fluorescence-activated cell sorting allowed us to separate EVs from fresh peripheral blood samples. Sorted EV preparations resulted particularly suitable for proteomic analyses, which we applied to study their protein cargo. Here we show that LCD staining allowed PFC detection and sorting of EVs from fresh body fluids, avoiding pre-analytical steps of enrichment that could impact final results. Therefore, LCD staining is an essential step towards the assessment of EV clinical significance.
