Project description:There is increasing evidence that breast and other cancers originate from and are maintained by a small fraction of stem/progenitor cells with self-renewal properties. Whether such cancer stem/progenitor cells originate from normal stem cells based on initiation of a de novo stem cell program, by reprogramming of a more differentiated cell type by oncogenic insults or both remains unresolved. A major hurdle in addressing these issues is lack of immortal human stem/progenitor cells that can be deliberately manipulated in vitro. We present evidence that normal and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)-immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs) isolated and maintained in DFCI-1 medium retain a fraction with progenitor cell properties. These cells co-express basal, luminal and stem/progenitor cell markers. Clonal derivatives of progenitors co-expressing these markers fall into two distinct types: K5+/K19- (Type I) and K5+/K19+ (Type II). We show that both types of progenitor cells have self-renewal and differentiation ability. Through microarray analysis, we want to identify genes and pathways linked to human mammary epithelial stem/progenitor cell self-renewal and differentiation. Normal human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs) were isolated from Reduction Mammoplasty and immortalized by hTERT. Type I K5+/K19- and Type II K5+/K19+ cell colonies were isolated from hTERT-immortalized hMECs and cultured in MEGM medium for self-renewal and differentiation. Total RNA isolated from Type I, Type II, and differentiated Myoepithelial (Myo) cells were used on Affymetrix microarrays.

A major hurdle in addressing these issues is lack of immortal human stem/progenitor cells that can be deliberately manipulated in vitro. Here we discribe Myoepithelial Progenitor Cells (MPCs) that show properties of EMT and claudin low subtype of breast cancers. Through microarray analysis, we have found that these K5-/K19- cells show similar gene expression pattens of the claudin-low subtype of breast cancer. Normal human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs) were isolated from Reduction Mammoplasty and immortalized by human telomerase (hTERT). Type III- K5-/K19- cell colonies were isolated from K5+/K19- immortalized hMECs and cultured in MEGM medium for self-renewal and differentiation. Total RNA isolated from Type III cells were used on Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:Telomere shortening in populations of human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) that survive early replicative arrest (M0) by the inactivation of p16INK4A during cell culture on plastic dishes leads to a state of permanent replicative arrest termed senescence. While culture of HMECs on feeder layers abrogates M0 and p16INK4A inactivation, progressive telomere attrition in these cells also eventually results in permanent replicative arrest. Expression of telomerase prevents both senescence on plastic (S-P) and senescence on feeder layers (S-FL) in HMECs, as it does also in cultured primary human fibroblasts. We report here that the gene expression profiles of senescence in HMECs of the same lineage maintained under different culture conditions showed surprisingly little commonality. Moreover, neither of these senescence-associated profiles in HMECs resembles the profile for senescence in human fibroblasts. These results indicate that senescence-associated alterations in gene expression resulting from telomere attrition are affected by culture conditions as well as by cell origins, and argue that replicative senescence at the molecular level is a diverse rather than unique cellular process.

Project description:Rho family small GTPases serve as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, gene transcription, and cell proliferation. Importantly, Rho overexpression is frequently seen in many carcinomas. However, published studies have almost invariably utilized immortal or tumorigenic cell lines to study Rho GTPase functions and there are no studies on the potential of Rho small GTPase to overcome senescence checkpoints and induce preneoplastic transformation of human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs). We found that ectopic expression of wild-type RhoA as well as a constitutively-active RhoA mutant (G14V) in primary hMEC strains led to their immortalization and preneoplastic transformation. Significantly, RhoA-T37A mutant, known to be incapable of interacting with many well known Rho-effectors ,was also capable of immortalizing hMECs.Our results demonstrate that RhoA can induce the preneoplastic transformation of hMECs by altering multiple pathways linked cellular transformation and breast cancer. Through microarray analysis, we want to identify genes and pathways linked to RhoA induced hMECs immortalization. Experiment Overall Design: 4 samples, in triplicate analyses per sample.

Project description:Increasing evidence across malignancies suggests that infiltrating T cells at the site of disease are crucial to tumor control. We hypothesized that marrow-infiltrating immune populations play a critical role in response to donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), an established and potentially curative immune therapy whose precise mechanism remains unknown. We therefore analyzed marrow-infiltrating immune populations in 29 patients (22 responders, 7 nonresponders) with relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia who received CD4+ DLI in the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitor era. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying T cell infiltration into bone marrow of responders and nonresponders to DLI. mRNA expression profiling of marrow-infiltrating CD3+ positively selected T cells of 4 responders compared to 2 non-responders, before and after DLI, was performed on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:4T1 mammary cancer cells exihibit higher proliferation and metastatic ability when cultured in conditioned medium from mesenchymal stem cells . Also, co-implantation with MSCs, 4T1 tumors show higher tumor growth and metastasis. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the alteration of cell behaviour RNA was extrated from 4T1 cells cultured in MSC-CM or regular medium as well as 4T1 cells isolated from co-cultured with MSCs. Gene expression of these cell groups was acquired from Affymetrix microarray analysis using mouse 430 2.0 array chip.

Project description:Overexpression of ECD in mammary gland promotes mammary tumorigenesis. To determine the plausible mechanism of how ECD contributes the oncogenesis, we performed RNAseq analysis of three independent control mice mammary glands (6 months old) and four independent ECD transgenic mammary tumors. Out of these four tumors, T1a and T1b were adenosquamous carcinoma type, T3 was Spindle cell carcinoma type and T4 was papillary carcinoma. RNA was isolated from the respective samples and RNAseq was performed.
