Project description:Tumor Associated Calcium Signal Transducer 2 (TACSTD2) is one of the cancer-related genes whose overexpression correlates with tumor progression and invasiveness in human colorectal cancer. TACSTD2 gene encodes for a transmembrane glycoprotein TROP2, which is implicated in altered expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and may play a role in metastasis formation. To determine how TROP2 affects aberrant tumor cell signaling, we isolated early adenoma cells from the mouse small intestine 6 weeks after disruption of the Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene, one of the first steps in the development of colorectal cancer in human. We performed expression profiling of Trop2+ and Trop2- tumor cells and, in addition, non-tumor cells of the intestinal epithelium, including predominantly differentiated cells.

Project description:Tumor Associated Calcium Signal Transducer 2 (TACSTD2) is one of the cancer-related genes whose overexpression correlates with tumor progression and invasiveness in human colorectal cancer. TACSTD2 gene encodes for a transmembrane glycoprotein TROP2, which is implicated in altered expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and may play a role in metastasis formation. To monitor the onset of TROP2 in hyperplastic cells and its effect on aberrant signaling potentially leading to tumor growth, we isolated epithelial cells from the mouse small intestine 7 days after disruption of the Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene. Loss of APC tumor suppressor function is the most common initial step in the development of colon cancer in humans. In the mice, the epithelial hyperproliferation occurs within a few days after Apc disruption, accompanied by the formation of ectopic crypts, followed by the formation of microadenomas over time. We performed expression profiling of Trop2+ and Trop2- hyperproliferating cells and, in addition, non-proliferating cells of the intestinal epithelium, including predominantly differentiated cells.

Project description:Aberrant activation of the canonical Wnt pathway underlines the development and growth of intestinal tumors. The Apc-min (multiple intestinal neoplasia) mouse strain carries a single nucleotide mutation in one allele of the Apc tumor suppressor gene. Random deactivation of the second allele occurs during the life and results in the formation of multiple adenomas in the small intestine with occasional colonic occurence. The Defa6 promoter is active in adult small intestinal Paneth cells and its activation has been observed also in human colonic adenomas. To investigate the nature of Defa6+ colon adenoma cells, we used the Apc-min Rosa26-tdTomato Defa6-iCre mouse strain. In this strain, cells with an active Defa6 promoter are marked by expression of a red fluorescent protein (tdTomato). We performed gene expression profiling of Defa6-tdTomato+ cells isolated from mouse colon tumors.

Project description:Most cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are infiltrated by PNS neurons participating in their complex tumor microenvironment. However, their cell bodies and nuclei are located in the para- and pre-vertebral PNS ganglia located far from the tumor mass itself. Thus, molecular information on healthy organ- vs. cancer-infiltrating neurons is currently lacking in any sequencing dataset of healthy or tumor tissue. Here, we specifically isolate fibroblasts, immune, endothelial and PDAC cells and subject them to single-cell RNA-Sequencing using the 10x genomics platform.

Project description:Bulk RNA-seq was performed on fibroblasts and mesothelial cells from 11 different healthy mouse tissues such as bone, epididymal, brown and inguinal fat pads, mesentery, omentum, pancreas, liver, lung, lymph node and spleen. This data was used to examine tissue specific gene expression programs of fibroblasts and mesothelial cells.

Project description:Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells has been associated with metastasis, stemness and resistance to therapy. The reason why some tumors undergo EMT and other not might reflect intrinsic properties of their cell of origin, although this possibility is largely unexplored. By targeting the same oncogenic mutations to discrete skin compartments, we show cell type-specific chromatin and transcriptional states differentially prime tumors to EMT. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) derived from intrafollicular epidermis (IFE) are generally well-differentiated, while hair follicle (HF) stem cell-derived SCCs frequently exhibit EMT, efficiently form secondary tumors, and possess increased metastatic potential. Transcriptional and epigenomic profiling revealed IFE and HF tumor-initiating cells possess distinct chromatin landscapes and gene regulatory networks associated with tumorigenesis and EMT that correlate with accessibility of key epithelial and EMT transcription factor binding sites. These findings highlight the importance of chromatin states and transcriptional priming in dictating tumor phenotypes and EMT. Accessible chromatin regions were profiled using ATAC-seq, enriched peak regions were used to infer transcription factor binding sites.

Project description:Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a deadly disease for which current treatments are inadequate. We demonstrate that bi-allelic inactivation of Lkb1 and Pten in the mouse lung led to SCC that recapitulated the histology, gene expression and microenvironment found in human disease. Lkb1/Pten-null (LP) tumors expressed the squamous markers Krt5, p63 and Sox2, and transcriptionally resembled the basal subtype of human SCC. In contrast to mouse adenocarcinomas, the LP tumors contained immune populations enriched for tumor-associated neutrophils. Sca1+/Ngfr+ fractions were enriched for tumor propagating cells (TPCs) that could serially transplant the disease in orthotopic assays. TPCs in the LP model and Ngfr+ cells in human SCCs highly expressed Pdl1, suggesting a novel mechanism of immune escape for TPCs. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profles among lung SCC tumor epitheial cell, lung ADC tumor epithelia cell and normal epithelial cells. Kras tumor stroma cells and LP tumor stroma cells were sorted by FACS, the cells were gated as EpCAM-/CD45+/CD31+

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been reported in various cancers including skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The molecular mechanisms regulating tumour initiation and stemness are still poorly characterized. Here, we found that Sox2, a transcription factor expressed in various types of embryonic and adult stem cells (SCs), was the most upregulated transcription factor in CSCs of squamous skin tumours. Sox2 is absent in normal epidermis and begins to be expressed in the vast majority of mouse and human pre-neoplastic skin tumours and continues to be expressed in a heterogeneous manner in invasive mouse and human SCCs. In contrast to other SCCs, in which Sox2 is frequently genetically amplified, the expression of Sox2 in mouse and human skin SCCs is transcriptionally regulated. Conditional deletion of Sox2 in the mouse epidermis dramatically decreases skin tumour formation following chemical induced carcinogenesis. Using Sox2-GFP knockin mice, we showed that Sox2 expressing cells in invasive SCC are greatly enriched in tumour propagating cells (TPCs) that further increase upon serial transplantations. Lineage ablation of Sox2 expressing cells within primary benign and malignant SCCs leads to tumour regression, consistent with the critical role of Sox2 expressing cells in tumour maintenance. Conditional Sox2 deletion in pre-existing skin papilloma and SCC leads to their regression and decreases their ability to be propagated upon transplantation into immunodeficient mice, supporting the essential role of Sox2 in regulating CSC functions. Transcriptional profiling of Sox2-GFP expressing CSC and upon Sox2 deletion uncovered a gene network regulated by Sox2 in primary tumour cells in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation identified several direct Sox2 target genes controlling tumour stemness, survival, proliferation, adhesion, invasion, and paraneoplastic syndrome. Altogether, our study demonstrates that Sox2, by marking and regulating the functions of skin tumour initiating cells and CSCs, establishes a continuum between tumour initiation and progression in primary skin tumours. We used microarrays to profile Sox2-GFP expressing CSC to uncover a gene network regulated by Sox2 in primary tumour cells in vivo. Two different biological replicates from SOX2-GFP+ and SOX2-GFP- TECs (control) from 2 different SCC from 2 different mice were analysed. Total RNA was analysed using Mouse whole genome 430 2.0 array from Affymetrix.
