Project description:Microarray based mRNA profiling was used to charactarize the response to the compound VLX600 in cells grown as spheroids. Cells used was colon cancer cells HCT116 and HCT116HIF1a knock-out. We identify the small molecule VLX600 as a drug that is preferentially active against quiescent cells in colon cancer 3-D microtissues. The anticancer activity is associated with reduced mitochondrial respiration, leading to a bioenergetic catastrophe and tumor cell death. VLX600 shows enhanced cytotoxic activity under conditions of nutrient starvation.

Project description:Colorectal cancers have a rare population of cells that express specific cell surface markers, and are referred to as cancer stem cells (CSC). Targeting CSCs, implicated in tumor relapse, is a paradigm shifting approach for colorectal cancer. We used gene microarray to analyze gene expression in HT-29, a colon cancer cell line, grown as monolayer and spheroid and identify metabolic pathways that are upregulated. HT-29 monolayer cells were grown in DMEM/F12 media supplemented with 10% FBS, and 1X Antibiotic-Antimycotic liquid (AA); and spheroids were grown in stem cell media [DMEM:F12, 1X AA, 1X B27, epidermal growth factors, and fibroblast growth factor for five days. Total RNA was isolated using the mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. RNA intergrity was confirmed on the Nanodrop ND-1000 and analyzed with Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer. The arrays were scanned with the Affymetrix 3000 7G plus scanner.

Project description:Mammalian cells were grown as multicellular aggregates (spheroids) in an effort to determine the signaling events required for two cellular transformations states; primary foreskin fibroblasts (HFF-2) and glioblastoma cancer (T98G) cells, to survive at room temperature under oxygen and nutrient-deprived conditions for extended periods of time (2 weeks) and subsequently grown out from the arrested state as adherent monolayers. HFF-2 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum and 5% carbon dioxide humidified air at 37 degrees C. T98G cells were cultured in EMEM with 10% FBS, 5% non-essential amino acids and 5% carbon dioxide humidified air at 37 degreesC. Monolayers were grown in T-185 flasks to 60% confluency then split into T-185 flasks coated with a 1% agarose mix in a 2:1 media/water ratio. Cells were suspended in 30 ml of supplemented media and grown for 4 days in order to form multicellular spheroids as described previously by our group (J. Cell. Physiol., 206 [2006] 526-536; see GSE1364 and GSE1455 for similar experiments with HEK293 cells). The suspension was removed from the flasks and centrifuged (1500 x g, 2 min) and the media removed. The pellet was returned to the flasks and then placed in vacuum bags (Dri-shield 2000 moisture barrier bag from Surmount Inc., USA; Cat. number 70068), which were sealed immediately under vacuum (Deni Magic Vac, Champion model; Keystone Manufacturing, USA). Vacuum-sealed flasks were stored for 2 weeks (in the dark) at room temperature. Recovery was initiated by removing the flask from the bag and resuspending the spheroids in supplemented media and placing the flasks in a 5% CO2/humidified air incubator maintained at 37 degreesC. Timepoints for transcriptional analysis were monolayer (control), 4 day growth spheroids, 2 week stored spheroids and 7 day growth back to monolayers. There were 67 HFF-2 and 50 T98G genes that exhibited at least a 10-fold change in expression during the course of arrest and recovery. Eleven of these genes were common to both cell lines. While the trends were the same between the two cell lines for genes that were in common, the timing of the responses were clearly different. The primary fibroblasts showed significant gene expression changes during spheroid formation and returned to their initial monolayer state after the two week arrest, whereas the glioblastoma cells exhibited major changes in gene expression during the recovery process. Furthermore, the T98G cells never returned to the monolayer expression levels during the time course of the recovery phase (7 days growth under monolayer conditions). Major differences in the transcriptional data were also found between the cell lines with regards to the putative cellular location of the encoded proteins. Of the genes with significant fold changes (+/- 10-fold) for which location information is available, the primary fibroblasts were significantly enriched in genes encoding extracellular (32%) and membrane-associated (26%) proteins. The glioblastoma cells, on the other hand, had only 17% extracellular and 13% membrane-associated. The expression level trends for all genes above the 10-fold cutoff were as observed for the "in common" genes; HFF-2 genes had returned to monolayer expression levels after 7 days of recovery whereas the T98G line was still exhibiting expression values much different from that of the monolayer control.

Project description:Solid tumors, such as neuroblastoma (NB), are associated with a heterogeneous cell environment. Multicellular tumor spheroid (MCTS) cultures have been shown to better mimic growth characteristics of in vivo solid tumors. Because tumor spheroid growth patterns may be quite different from standard two-dimensional culture systems, we sought to compare the protein expression profiles of two- and three-dimensional in vitro NB cultures, i.e., monolayers and MCTS.Human NB cells were grown as both monolayers and spheres. Nuclear and cytosolic proteins were analyzed for differentially secreted proteins by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) and selected polypeptides were identified by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).Several metabolic (transketolase, triosephosphate isomerase, pyruvate kinase M1/M2, alpha enolase, and phosphoglycerate mutase-1), cell stress response (heat shock proteins (HSP) 90, 70, and 60; antioxidant, thioredoxin), cell structure (septin 2, adenyl cyclase-associated protein-1), tubulin beta-2 chain, actin, translationally controlled tumor protein and cofilin), signal transduction (peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase A), biosynthetic (phosphoserine aminotransferase) and transport (cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1) polypeptides were overexpressed in spheroids. Several protein groups were differentially expressed between NB monolayers and spheroids.The altered proteins among NB spheroids may represent an important link between monolayer cell cultures and in vivo experiments and thus a more ideal in vitro culture system for determining the precise three-dimensional microenvironment of NB.

Project description:To interrogate the hypoxia response pathways affected by the depletion of CAIX in BC cells, we performed gene expression profiling using SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 60K microarrays in MDA-MB-231-shCAIX, MCF7-shCAIX and the respective control cells grown as multicellular spheroids under hypoxic or normoxic conditions. The human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 were purchased from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC, UK) and maintained as recommended by the manufacturer. To generate stable CAIX silenced cells, cell lines were transfected with a pool of three plasmids each encoding CAIX-specific shRNA (1 µg) and a negative control (NC) plasmids encoding scrambled shRNAs (1 µg) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, TX, USA) using shRNA transfection medium and shRNA transfection reagent (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) according to the manufacturers’ protocol. For selection of stably transfected cells, puromycin dihydrochloride (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) was added to medium 48 h post-transfection (6 µg/ml for MCF7, 2 µg/ml for MDA-MB-231 cells). The transfected cells were plated at density 2e+3 cells per ml of serum-free DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with EGF (20ng/ml, R&D Systems, #236-EG-200), bFGF (10ng/ml, SantaCruz, #sc-4573), hydrocortisone (50 ng/ml, Sigma-Aldrich, #H0135-1MG) and 1B27 (Invitrogen, #17504001) and grown as multicellular spheroids for 5 days. To establish hypoxic conditions, the cells were cultured at 1% oxygen, 94% N2 and 5% CO2 at 37oC using humidified multi-gas incubator (Sanyo, Sanyo Electric Co.,Ltd.) for 48 hours. The normoxic control cells were incubated at 37oC with 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator (Panasonic, Panasonic Healthcare Co., Ltd.). The efficiency of CAIX silencing was assessed by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence before the experiments.

Project description:We developed genetically engineered Hepa/8F5 cells (available from RIKEN BioResource Center [RCB4661]), in which genes of eight liver-enriched transcription factors (LETFs)—hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1α, HNF-1β, HNF-3β [FOXA2], HNF-4α, HNF-6, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)-α, C/EBP-β and C/EBP-γ—were transduced into murine hepatoma Hepa1-6 cells as drug-inducible expression cassettes [Biochem. Eng. J., 60, 67–73 (2012)]. Hepa/8F5 cells can induce high liver functions by the addition of an inducer drug (doxycycline; Dox) via overexpression of LETF genes.

Project description:3D spheroids of primary human hepatocytes (3D PHH) keep a differentiated phenotype with retained metabolic function and proteome fingerprint for weeks in culture. As a result, 3D PHH are gaining ground as a model for mechanistic studies on liver homeostasis and in vitro to in vivo (IVIV)predictions in drug discovery. However, the function of drug-transporting proteins has not yet been studied in the 3D PHH. Here we used the organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1/SLC22A1) as a model to explore both transporter kinetics and long-term regulation of transporter activity via different pathways. The 3D PHH were cultured for one week and then used for short- and long-term studies. The OCT1 transporter kinetics was assessed using the fluorescent model substrate 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridinium (ASP+) and known OCT1 inhibitors in individual 3D PHH. For long-term studies, the 3D PHH were exposed to xenobiotics for seven days, after which protein expression and OCT1 function were assessed. Global proteomics analysis was used to track prototypical changes of other regulated proteins. ASP+ kinetics indicated a fully functional OCT1 transporter with a Km value of 14.14±3.97 using three donors. Established OCT1 inhibitors reduced the uptake of ASP+ in the 3D PHH spheroids, resulting in 40-60% of the maximal uptake rate of ASP+. The long-term exposure studies showed that OCT1 is relatively stable to the activation of a broad range of pathways known to regulate ADME proteins. Importantly, while expression levels of other ADME proteins, such as CYP3A4 and MDR1 were regulated as expected, OCT1 levels remained stable. In conclusion, our results show for the first time that 3D PHH spheroids express fully active OCT1 and that transporter kinetics can be studied in 3D PHH. We also confirm that OCT1 remains stable and functional during activation of various pathways that alter the expression and function of other ADME proteins.
