Project description:Human colorectal cancer organoids were treated with the TROP2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) or non-targeting control IgG1-SN-38. Samples were harvested at different time points under treatment {0h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h} as well as after drug washout at 12 h on the following time points {12h + 12h, 12h + 36h, 12h + 60h}. Samples were subjected to single-cell RNA-seq using sample hashtag multiplexing.
Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a rare immune cell population that plays a key role in antiviral innate immunity. In our analysis, secretin (SCT) emerged as one of the most highly expressed hormones in both circulating and tissue-resident pDCs. To validate this finding, we performed spatial transcriptomic analysis of adult tonsil tissue, which demonstrated co-localization of SCT transcripts with the pDC marker LILR4A. We further confirmed SCT expression at the protein level by immunofluorescence staining of primary human peripheral blood pDCs, showing co-expression of secretin with the canonical pDC markers CLEC4C and TLR9. In a longitudinal single-cell RNA-sequencing dataset from individuals with COVID-19, we observed modest upregulation of SCT in interferon-activated pDCs. To determine whether SCT expression is linked to immune function, we purchased primary human peripheral blood pDCs and stimulated them in vitro with the TLR9 agonist cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotide, followed by single-cell transcriptomic profiling.
Project description:Patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids were injected into mice to grow into subcutaneous tumors. Starting at 100 mm3, tumors were treated with Trodelvy (Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG)) or vehicle twice per week for 28 days before samples were harvested and subjected to single-cell RNA-sequencing of the tumor cells.
