Ets factors regulate neural stem cell depletion and gliogenesis in Ras pathway-driven glioma

ABSTRACT: As the list of putative driver mutations in glioma grows, we are just beginning toAs the list of putative driver mutations in glioma grows, we are just beginning to elucidate the effects of dysregulated developmental signaling pathways on the transformation of neural cells. We have employed a postnatal, mosaic, autochthonous, glioma model that captures the first hours and days of gliomagenesis in more resolution than conventional genetically engineered mouse models of cancer. We provide evidence that disruption of the Nf1-Ras pathway in the ventricular zone at multiple signaling nodes uniformly results in rapid neural stem cell depletion, progenitor hyperproliferation, and gliogenic lineage restriction. Abolishing Ets subfamily activity, which is upregulated downstream of Ras, rescues these phenotypes and blocks glioma initiation. Thus, the Nf1-Ras-Ets axis might be one of the select molecular pathways that are perturbed for initiation and maintenance in glioma. Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Microarrays from Affimetryx were used for microarray analysis. For each experiment, total RNA was fluorescently labeled and hybridized. 3 cell lines derived from in vivo electroporated neural stem and progenitors were compared.

Directing differentiation of pluripotent stem cells towards retinal pigment epithelium lineage

Project description:Development of efficient and reproducible conditions for directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into specific cell types is important not only to understand early human development but also to enable more practical applications, such as in vitro models of disease, drug discovery, and cell therapies. The differentiation of stem cells to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in particular holds promise as a source of cells for therapeutic replacement in age-related macular degeneration. Here we show development of a robust and efficient method to derive RPE with high reproducibility in an adherent, monolayer system using sequential inhibition and activation of the Activin and BMP signalling pathways. We use whole genome transcript analysis to characterize cells at different stages of differentiation to gain further understanding of the developmental dynamics and fate specification of RPE.

A Robust Method To Derive Functional Neural Crest Cells From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Neural crest (NC) cells contribute to the development of many complex tissues. The abnormal development of NC cells accounts for a number of congenital birth defects. Generating NC cells, and more specifically NC subpopulations such as cranial, cardiac, and trunk NC cells from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and human embryonic stem (ES) cells presents a valuable tool to model and study human NC development and disease. Here we provide a robust, efficient, and reproducible protocol for the differentiation of human iPS and ES cells into NC cells. The protocol has been validated in multiple human pluripotent stem cell lines and yields relatively pure NC cell populations in eight days. The resulting cells can be propagated and retain NC marker expression over multiple passages. The NC cells show proper cell specification and can develop into NC-derived cell lineages including smooth muscle cells, peripheral neurons, and Schwann cells. Additionally, the NC cells are functional and migrate to appropriate chemoattractants such as SDF-1, Fgf8b, BMP2, and Wnt3a. Importantly, this method generates all NC subpopulations (cranial, cardiac, and trunk) providing a great advantage to readily available NC differentiation methods. Neural crest cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells were profiled using Affymetrix Gene 1.0 arrays to identify differential gene expression changes and alternative exons from the open-source software AltAnalyze. An FDR adjusted emperical Bayes moderated t-test p < 0.05 was used to identify differentially expressed Ensembl genes and GO-Elite used to identify biologically relevant, Ontology, pathway and gene-set categories. Alternative exons were obtained using the FIRMA analysis option and default thresholds. Other array neural crest array and RNA-Seq dataset were compared to this to identify common and distinct regulatory mechanisms.

Characterization of hES derived Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE). RPE proliferation involves a non-classical Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT).

Project description:Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells are located behind the retina and are critical for photoreceptor survival. Loss of RPE is associated with several pathogenic conditions such as Age Related Macular Degeneration and Retinitis Pigmentosa. RPE derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) offer a potential source for producing these cells for therapy. Here we report the molecular and cellular characterization of RPE differentiated from hESC. hESC derived RPE are capable of proliferation and lose their epithelial characteristics before becoming confluent and re-differentiating back into their typical pigmented, cobblestoned appearance. During the proliferative phase, they adopt a mesenchymal morphology and express mesenchymal markers. Our results demonstrate that this apparent Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition is not regulated by the classical EMT transcription factors SNAIL and SLUG. Furthermore, it is possible to regulate RPE de-differentiation and re-differentiation by modulating the Wnt and BMP pathway respectively. These findings further our understanding of the genesis and expansion of RPE which is essential for their therapeutic use.

Effects of the IDH1 R132H mutation on the energy metabolism: a comparison between tissue and corresponding primary glioma cell cultures

Project description:The R132H mutation in the metabolic enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is the most important prognostic factor for survival of glioma patients. This resulted in many studies investigating the effects of this mutation, including those on energy metabolism. This led to the discovery of a panel of enzymes mainly involved in glutamate anaplerosis and aerobic glycolysis that change in abundance as a result of the IDH1 mutation. To further study these changes and investigate the therapeutic value of inhibitors of IDH1 R132H-associated metabolic pathways, appropriate glioma models are required that mimic in vivo metabolism as good as possible. To investigate how metabolism is affected by in vitro cell culture, we here compared surgically obtained snap frozen glioma tissues with their corresponding primary glioma cell culture models with a previously developed targeted mass spectrometry proteomic assay. We determined the relative abundance of a panel of metabolic enzymes. Results confirmed increased glutamate use and decreased aerobic glycolysis in resected IDH1 R132H glioma tissue samples. However, these metabolic profiles were not reflected in the paired glioma culture samples. Analysis of orthotopic glioma xenograft samples with and without the IDH1 mutation revealed metabolic profiles that more closely resembled clinical counterparts. We suggest that culture conditions and tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in maintaining the in vivo metabolic situation in cell culture models. For this reason, new models that more closely resemble the in vivo microenvironment, such as 3-dimensional cell co-cultures or organotypic multicellular spheroid models, need to be developed and investigated.

RAS/MAPK activation drives resistance to Smo inhibition, metastasis and tumor evolution in Shh pathway-dependent tumors

Project description:Aberrant Shh signaling promotes tumor growth in diverse human cancers. The importance of Shh signaling is particularly evident in medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), where inhibitors targeting the Shh pathway component Smoothened (Smo) show great therapeutic promise. However, the emergence of drug resistance limits long-term efficacy and the mechanisms of resistance remain poorly understood. Using new culturing techniques, we established a cohort of Shh pathway-driven medulloblastoma cell lines derived from Ptch+/- mice. Using this new model, we identify activation of the RAS/MAPK pathway circumvents Shh pathway-dependency, drives tumor growth and enhances metastatic behavior.Together these findings reveal a critical role of RAS/MAPK pathway in drug resistance and tumor evolution of Shh pathway-dependent tumors. We performed gene expression profile analysis of SMB cells, in vivo primary MB, as well as cerebellum of normal P6 and adult mice. We also compared gene expression profiles of SMB cells to those of growth factor treated and RAS transformed cells. 24 mouse samples were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays, including 3 normal cerebellar as control, 3 primary tumor samples and 18 cell samples with different treatment conditions. We first compared gene expression profiles of SMB cells to those of in vivo primary MB and normal cerebellum. We then compared gene expression profiles of SMB cells to those of growth factor treated and RAS transformed cells.

Transcription profiling of human foetal neural stem (NS) cell lines and human glioma neural stem (GNS) cell lines

Project description:Gliomas have been proposed to be driven by a population of neural stem-like cells. We isolated a panel of novel human glioma cell lines using adherent neural stem cell conditions. The normal human foetal (hf) NS cells and the tumorigenic glioma NS cell lines were expanded using growth factors EGF and FGF in adherent culture conditions. In these conditions apoptosis and differentiation are suppressed resulting in more homogeneous populations of stem cells than has been reported previously. We included parallel primary biopsies of non-malignant brain tissue ('Normal Brain'). Experiment Overall Design: Cell lines were expanded until 70-90% confluent and then harvested for RNA extraction. All cell lines were gorwn in identical culture media. We also include 'Normal Brain' samples which are regions of the adult human cortex.
