Project description:To recognize the influnence of WNT signaling on fibroblasts differentiation first we analyzed transformation of human cardiac fibroblasts caused by TGF-β signaling. Differential gene expression analysis demonstrated that cardiac fibroblasts 72h after treatment with TGF-β showed deregulated expression of 313 genes. We also observed that stimulation with WNT3a resulted in deregulation of 124 genes in TGF-β-treated fibroblasts and in contrast to profound effect of WNT3a on fibroblasts differentiation, treatment with WNT5a upregulated expression of only 2 and downregulated 21 genes in TGF-β-activated cells.

Project description:Background Clinical practice demonstrates that anticancer drug effects may strongly vary between different patients. Individual responses to drug action are potentially responsible for adverse effects such as establishment of resistance. Consequently, the understanding of response mechanisms to drug actions is of great relevance. Proteome profiling is a powerful tool for the investigation of cellular responses to drugs. Methods Here, we have investigated the effects of curcumin, a natural remedy with known anti-cancer activities, on breast cancer cells MCF-7, ZR-75-1 and normal mammary fibroblasts as well as co-cultures thereof using proteome profiling. The mammary fibroblasts had been treated before with TGF-beta in order to induce a wound-healing signature known to be representative for the in vivo situation in breast tumors. Results While co-culture alone induced several proteins like ANXA1, S100A4 and SPARC similarly in both breast cancer cells, the majority of proteins regulated upon co-culture differed between MCF-7 and ZR-75-1. Curcumin significantly induced HMOX1 in all single cell models and co-cultures. However, otherwise the curcumin effects differed. In the MCF-7 co-culture, curcumin significantly downregulated RC3H1, a repressor of inflammatory signaling. In the ZR-75-1 co-culture, curcumin significantly downregulated PEG10, an anti-apoptotic protein, and induced RRAGA, a pro-apoptotic protein involved in TNF-alpha signaling. In this model, curcumin also induced AKR1C2, an important enzyme for progesterone metabolism. None of these specific curcumin effects were observed in single cell cultures. Conclusions The present data demonstrate that curcumin induces proteome alterations potentially accounting for its known antitumor effects in a strongly context-dependent fashion.

Project description:Primary dermal fibroblasts from patients with dSSc and healthy controls were treated with TGF beta for up to 24h and the genome-wide patterns of gene expression measured on DNA microarrays. 894 genes were identified as TGF beta-responsive in 4 independent cultures of dermal fibroblasts (2 healthy control and 2 dSSc patients). The 894 genes in the TGF beta-responsive signature are associated with induction of growth factor signaling, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix deposition.

Project description:Adult tissue stem cells are known to participate in cancer formation. Indeed, cells exhibiting markers of embryonic stem cells such as Oct-4 and Nanog were detected in some malignant tumors. In this study we demonstrated that stromal cells prepared from the basal cell carcinoma are able to induce expression of embryonic stem cell markers such as the Oct-4, Nanog and Sox-2 in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. These stem cell-like elements have the differentiation potential similar to mesenchymal stem cells. They are also able to induce expression of Oct-4 and Nanog in the human hair follicle keratinocytes. Employing the microarray technology, the role of growth factors such as IGF-2, FGF-7, leptin, NGF and TGF-_ produced by stromal fibroblasts was established to be responsible for the biological activity of the fibroblasts.

Project description:ABSTRACT Background: Primary human distal lung/parenchymal fibroblasts (DLF) exhibit a different phenotype from airway fibroblasts (AF), including the expression of high levels of alpha-SMA. The scope of the differences and the mechanisms driving them are unknown. We hypothesized that the distinct fibroblast characteristics based on lung region predicted a broad range of genomic differences which contribute to distinctly different functional pathway activation in AF and DLF. Methods and Findings: To investigate whether comprehensive gene expression patterns vary between AF and DLF, we compared global gene expression profiles of 3 matched pairs of primary human fibroblasts isolated from proximal and distal lung. 194 transcripts were upregulated in AF, and 290 transcripts upregulated in DLF. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) from both asthmatic and normal subjects confirmed the validity of microarray data (n = 8). Further analysis identified distinct pathway activation patterns, including the identification of the TGF-β receptor/SMAD3 signaling pathway as critical to the phenotypic differences in AF and DLF. The functional impact of these molecular differences on AF and DLF was then analyzed using Western blot, qRT-PCR, ELISA and gene knock-down approaches. TGF-β receptor/SMAD2-3 pathway analysis confirmed the contribution of higher TGF-β1 expression and accompanying SMAD3 and JNK activation to the increased alpha-SMA level seen in DLF. There are two limitations associated with our work. First, the microarray sample size was small. Second, for ethical reasons, a large majority of our data were from asthmatic subjects, only one pair of airway and distal lung tissues from a subject without knowing preexisting lung disease matched for age and smoking status was available. In this single normal subject, the same pattern of differences existed, supporting the concept that these genomic differences are regional, rather than disease-related. Conclusions: These findings demonstrated marked molecular and functional differences for these two lung regional fibroblast populations. These results suggest that airway and parenchymal fibroblasts differ in their responses to injury, repair, and remodeling in the lungs. There are likely profound implications of these observations for understanding mechanisms of development of fibrotic lung diseases as well as approaching therapy. In order to identify the underlying molecular differences between airway- and distal lung fibroblasts, microarray analysis was performed on 3 different matched pairs of fibroblasts.

Project description:The survival of isolated metastatic cells and expansion into macroscopic tumour has been recognized as a limiting step for metastasis formation in several cancer types yet the determinants of this process remain largely uncharacterized. In colorectal cancer (CRC), we identify a transcriptional programme in tumour-associated stromal cells, which is intimately linked to a high risk of developing recurrent disease after therapy. A large proportion of CRCs display mutational inactivation of the TGF-beta pathway but paradoxically they are characterized by high TGF-beta production. In these tumours, TGF-beta instructs a transcriptional programme in stromal cells, which confers a high risk of developing metastatic disease. We quantified the association of TGF-beta-activated fibroblasts with disease progression. To this end, we used as surrogates the gene expression programme upregulated by addition of TGF-beta to normal colon mucosa-derived fibroblasts (CCD-Co-18) in culture. CCD-Co-18 were seeded at 60% confluence and treated with TGF-β1. Gene expression profiles were measured in duplicate using HG-U133 plus 2.0. We used RMA background correction, quantile normalization and RMA summarization (Gautier et al., 2004). A TGF-β response signature was obtained by selecting genes with limma P-value < 0.05 and at least two fold up-regulation in TGF-β treated fibroblasts.

Project description:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) formed capillary structures when co-cultured with normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). HUVEC competence and NHDF supportiveness of cord formation were found to be highly cell-passage dependent with the early passage cells forming more angiogenic cord structures. We thus profiled gene expression in NHDFs with different passages to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the in vitro angiogenesis control. Experiment Overall Design: NHDFs cultured to various passages were assayed for their gene expression using the GeneChip technology.

Project description:mRNA profiles generated from primary fibroblast upon treatment with miR-211, miR-302 or melanoma melanosomes. Abstract: Melanoma originates in the epidermis and enters the metastatic and lethal phase upon invasion into the dermis. However, the interactions between melanoma cells and the dermis prior to this invasion have been poorly studied. Here we uncover that melanoma cells directly affect the formation of the dermal tumor niche by microRNA (miRNA) trafficking prior to invading the dermis. Melanocytes, the cells of melanoma origin, are specialized in trafficking of pigment vesicles, termed melanosomes and, interestingly, melanoma cells retain this trafficking ability. In melanoma in-situ specimens, we found melanosome markers in distal fibroblasts prior to the invasion of melanoma cells into the dermis. Melanoma-derived melanosomes carry miRNAs into primary fibroblasts that trigger changes in the fibroblasts, including increased proliferation, migration, and expression of pro-inflammatory genes, all known features of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Specifically, we found that melanosomal miRNA-211 directly targets IGF2R and leads to MAPK signaling activation in fibroblasts, which reciprocally encourages melanoma growth. Treatment of melanoma cells with a melanosome release-inhibitor prevented CAF formation. Since the first interaction of melanoma cells with blood vessels occurs in the dermis, our data suggest a promising opportunity to block melanoma cell invasion by preventing the formation of the dermal tumor niche. In the paper we showed the 10% of most differentially expressed mRNA upon miR-211, miR-320c and melanosomes treatment and overlap of 2000 downregulated mRNA upon miR-211 and melanosomes treatment with predicted target gene miR-211 and CAFs related genes Expresssion profiling was performed for primary fibroblasts transfected with miRNA-211 mimic and miRNA-320c mimic.
