Project description:Gliomas are mostly incurable secondary to their diffuse infiltrative nature. Thus, specific therapeutic targeting of invasive glioma cells is an attractive concept. As cells exit the tumor mass and infiltrate brain parenchyma, they closely interact with a changing micro-environmental landscape that sustains tumor cell invasion. In this study, we used a unique microarray profiling approach on a human glioma stem cell (GSC) xenograft model to explore gene expression changes in situ in invading glioma cells compared to tumor core, as well as changes in host cells residing within the infiltrated microenvironment relative to the unaffected cortex. Replicate sets of mice (n=4) were inoculated with either of two different GSC's derived from from human glioma, and each mouse had samples taken from the tumor mass, the infiltrating area and the mouse brain parenchyma, resulting in 3 samples per animal. The tumor mass and infiltrating samples were hybridized on human U133Plus2 Arrays, whereas the infiltrating samples and mouse brain parenchyma were hybridized on mouse

Project description:One of the most detrimental hallmarks of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is cellular invasiveness, considered a potential cause of tumor recurrence. Infiltrated GBM cells are difficult to completely eradicate surgically and with local therapeutic modalities. Although much effort has focused on understanding the various mechanisms controlling GBM invasiveness, the nature of the invasiveness remains poorly characterized. Here, we established a highly invasive glioma cell line (U87R4 cells) and a non-invasive cell line (U87L4 cells) from U87MG glioma cells following four rounds of serial in vivo intracranial transplantation. Compared to U87L4 cells, U87R4 cells were highly invasive and had glioma stem cell-like properties. Microarray analysis showed that apoptosis-inducing genes (caspase3 and PDCD4) were downregulated, whereas several cancer stem cell-relevant genes (Wnt10A, Frizzled 4, and CD44) were upregulated in U87R4 cells compared to U87L4 cells. U87R4 cells were resistant to anticancer drug-induced cell death, which was partially due to downregulation of caspase3 and PDCD4. U87R4 cells retained activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling through Frizzled 4, which was sufficient to control neurosphere formation. In addition, Frizzled 4 promoted expression of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition regulator, SNAI1, and acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. Taken together, our results indicate that Frizzled 4 may be a member of the Wnt signaling family that governs both stemness and invasiveness of glioma stem cells, and may be a major cause of GBM recurrence and poor prognosis. We established a highly invasive glioma cell line (U87R4 cells) and a non-invasive cell line (U87L4 cells) from U87MG glioma cells following four rounds of serial in vivo intracranial transplantation to characterize the mRNA expression profile of highly invasive glioma cells compared to non-invasive/parental glioma cell lines.

Project description:The gene expression profiles of two groups of triplicate human glioblastoma (GBM) xenografts grown in immunodeficient rats were compared. The first group of xenografts was derived from a patient biopsy with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) amplification which grows highly invasive and is independent of angiogenesis. The second group was obtained by introducing a dominant-negative EGFR mutant into the tumor cells, leading to a progression of the tumors to an angiogenic phenotype associated with a transition from a proneural to a mesenchymal GBM molecular subtype.

Project description:Application of a melanoma experimental metastasis model to elucidate molecular mediators of melanoma brain metastasis. Malignant melanoma frequently metastasizes to the brain. The molecular mediators of brain metastasis still remains largely unknnown. Two melanoma cell lines (opposing phenotypes in vitro: invasive/proliferative) were injected (L.V) into immune-compromised animals to generate organ-specific in vivo metastatic tumor cells and host tissue. Immunomagnetic separation was applied to separate tumor cells from host stroma. A rat model was applied to generate organ-specific profiles. Subsequently, a mouse model was applied to generate in vivo brain metastatic samples to follow altered gene expression in melanoma colonizing the brain over time. Gene expression data was collected from human and animal host-specific arrays.

Project description:PCNA´s essential roles in DNA replication and repair are well established, while it’s recently discovered non-canonical roles in cellular signalling and regulation of metabolism are less explored. Recent data has indicated that PCNA has a specific non-canonical role in cells of haematological origin. In the present study we have explored this further at the system level by extensive protein-, gene expression, and metabolite profiling combined with integrated pathway analysis and by 13C label experimentation, Here we show that impairing PCNA´s scaffold functions led to massive changes in cellular signalling, but more importantly, a strong reduction in glycolytic metabolites and nucleoside phosphate pools in haematological cancer cell lines was detected, including multiple myeloma cells and acute myelogen leukaemia cells. This was not observed in cell lines from solid tissues such as kidney, bladder and prostate, nor in primary monocytes. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated monocytes on the other hand, responded to treatment similarly to the haematological cancer cells, suggesting that cellular stress is an important factor for the response to the APIM-peptide in haematological cells. Integrated Pathway analysis of the metabolite and protein datasets revealed that protein ubiquitination and antigen presentation pathways are affected in haematopoietic cancer cells upon treatment. Focusing on one multiple myeloma cell line we further verified these trends by gene-expression and show that the consequences of reduced central carbon metabolite pools and energy charge is impaired redox and HIF1A regulation. Altogether, our data suggests that PCNA has an important role in regulation of cytoplasmic stress via regulation of central carbon metabolism in haematological cells that can be targeted in cancer treatment.

Project description:Methylmercury (MeHg) is a highly toxic environmental pollutant. To understand the mechanisms of toxicity of the compound and possibly to discover new biomarkers for environmental monitoring, we have conducted toxicogenomics studies. We designed 126k-cod-oligonucleotide arrays and performed genome-wide gene expression assays in liver samples from juvenile cod treated with MeHg (0.5 and 2 mg/kg body weight). Microarray analysis showed MeHg differentially regulated hundreds of genes. Gene Ontology and pathway analyses of differentially regulated genes revealed that MeHg modulated mainly genes involved in immune response, oxidative stress response, tissue remodelling, and energy pathways such as lipid, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. The results provide insights into the mechanisms of toxicity of MeHg and provide candidate biomarkers of exposure to MeHg for further evaluation. Analyzed 5 samples from each of 3 groups: control, 0.5 mg/BW MeHg treated, and 2 mg/BW MeHg treated. Liver total RNA was reverse transcribed, Cy3-labeled, and hybridized (one-color hybridzation).

Project description:Spheroids, near spherical multicellular aggregates, are one of the most common types of threedimensional (3D) cell cultures. Despite decades of implementation of spheroid technology in various fields of life science and medical research, no minimal information (MI) guidelines are available to cope with heterogeneity and to stimulate transparency. To cope with this unmet need, we assembled an international consortium to develop the MISpheroID knowledgebase (https://www.mispheroid.org) and interrogation revealed heterogeneity and lack of transparency in published spheroid-related experiments. This steered us to empirically evaluate the impact of cell line, culture medium type, spheroid formation method and spheroid size on complementary spheroid metrics (RNA fingerprints, presence of cell death, ATP content, glucose to lactate conversion, secreted protein signatures, circularity, size and cancer therapy response). We measured media-induced transcriptional variation in lung cancer (A549), colorectal cancer (HCT116), ovarium cancer (SKOV3) and glioblastoma (U87MG) spheroids using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). These spheroids were formed in ultra-low attachment plates and cultured in 6 different media types (DMEM high glucose, DMEM/F12, RPMI1640, DMEM low glucose, EMEM and MEM) for 5 (HCT116) or 7 (A549, SKOV3 and U87MG) days. RNA extraction was performed on 2 spheroids per condition using the miRNeasy micro kit (217084, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared from purified RNA using the QuantSeq 3' mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina (Lexogen, Vienna, Austria) according to the manufacturer's instructions, using 27.5ng of RNA that was DNase treated using HL-dsDNA (Arcticzymes, TromsØ, Norway). The individual libraries were quantified by qPCR using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit (Roche, Pleasanton, CA, US) and equimolarly pooled. The pool concentration was measured with Qubit and 1.4pM with 1% PhiX was sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, US) using a high-output 1x75 run. Reads were mapped to the human genome using Tophat and gene expression counts were generated using HTSeq. This data was used to perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

Project description:In the North Sea and adjacent North Atlantic coastal areas fish experience relatively high levels of persistent organic pollutants. The aim of this study is to compare the mode of actions of environmentally relevant concentrations of halogenated compounds and their mixtures in Atlantic cod. Juvenile male cod were fed mixtures of chlorinated (PCBs, DDT analogs, chlordane, lindane and toxaphene), brominated (PBDEs) and fluorinated (Perfluorooctanesulfonate/PFOS) compounds for one month. One group received a mixture of all three compounds. Transcriptome analysis of liver samples was performed to identify the main affected pathways. Accumulated levels of chemicals in cod liver reflected concentrations found in wild fish. Pathway analysis revealed that the treatment effects by each of the three groups of chemicals (chlorinated, brominated and fluorinated) converged on activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). The results of our transcriptomics analysis suggest that the UPR pathway is a sensitive common target of halogenated organic environmental pollutants
