Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of mammary tumors reveals distinct patterns of hierarchical and subtype heterogeneity

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) contribute to intra-tumoral heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance. However, the binary concept of universal BCSCs co-existing with bulk tumor cells is over-simplified. Through single-cell RNA-sequencing, we found that Neu, PyMT and BRCA1-null mammary tumors each corresponded to a spectrum of minimally overlapping cell differentiation states without a universal BCSC population. Instead, our analyses revealed that these tumors contained distinct lineage-specific tumor propagating cells (TPCs) and this is reflective of the self-sustaining capabilities of lineage-specific stem/progenitor cells in the mammary epithelial hierarchy. By understanding the respective tumor hierarchies, we were able to identify CD14 as a TPC marker in the Neu tumor. Additionally, single-cell breast cancer subtype stratification revealed the co-existence of multiple breast cancer subtypes within tumors. Collectively, our findings emphasize the need to account for lineage-specific TPCs and the hierarchical composition within breast tumors, as these heterogenous sub-populations can have differential therapeutic susceptibilities.

Expression profiling of lung adenocarcinoma TPC tumor cells in Kras-driven NSCLC mouse model

Project description:Sustained tumor progression has been attributed to a distinct population of tumor-propagating cells (TPCs). To identify TPCs relevant to lung cancer pathogenesis, we investigated functional heterogeneity in tumor cells isolated from Kras-driven mouse models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CD24+ITGB4+Notchhi cells are capable of propagating tumor growth in both a clonogenic and an orthotopic serial transplantation assay. While all four Notch receptors mark TPCs, Notch3 plays a non-redundant role in tumor cell propagation in two mouse model and in human NSCLC. The TPC population is enriched after chemotherapy and the gene signature of mouse TPCs correlates with poor prognosis in human NSCLC. The unique role of Notch3 in tumor propagation may provide a therapeutic target for NSCLC Primary lung adenocarcinoma tumor cells were FACS sorted based on expression of CD24, ITGB4 and Notch. TPC cells are defined by Cd24+ITGB4+ Notch(high), and the remainder tumor cells are non-TPC cells. Samples were derived from six mice.

Reconstructing and reprogramming the tumor propagating potential of glioblastoma stem-like cells: RNA-seq

Project description:Developmental fate decisions are dictated by master transcription factors (TFs) that interact with cis-regulatory elements to direct transcriptional programs. Certain malignant tumors may also depend on a cellular hierarchy reminiscent of normal development but superimposed on underlying genetic aberrations. In glioblastoma (GBM), a subset of stem-like tumor- propagating cells (TPCs) appears to drive tumor progression and underlie therapeutic resistance, yet remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a core set of neurodevelopmental TFs (POU3F2, SOX2, SALL2, OLIG2) essential for GBM propagation. These TFs coordinately bind and activate TPC-specific regulatory elements, and are sufficient to fully reprogram differentiated GBM cells to ‘induced’ TPCs that recapitulate the epigenetic landscape and phenotype of native TPCs. We reconstruct a TF network model that highlights critical interactions and identifies novel therapeutic targets for eliminating TPCs. Our study establishes the epigenetic basis of a developmental hierarchy in a devastating malignancy, provides detailed insight into the underlying gene regulatory programs, and suggests attendant therapeutic strategies. 3'end RNA sequencing

DIMETHYLBENZANTHRACENE (DMBA) INDUCED MAMMARY CARCINOGENESIS IN MMTV-Neu and MMTV/p53 KO FEMALE MICE AND EFFECTS OF REXINOIDS

Project description:Murine models of mammary cancers have proven to be highly informative on numerous fronts including individual gene causation, microenvironmental analyses, and chemoprevention studies. The MMTV-Neu transgenic model of mammary cancer has proven to be a useful model and has been employed in several prevention studies. However, there are certain practical drawbacks to its use including long tumor latencies and a tendency to develop mutations in the transmembrane domain of Neu (unlike human HER2/Neu overexpressing breast cancers). Here we report modifications that were made in an attempt to optimize this mouse model for chemopreventive screening. First, homozygous MMTV-Neu and homozygous P53 KO mice were crossed to create a MMTV-Neu/P53+/- strain (which more closely approximates the genetic make-up of most HER2+ human patients). Second, to overcome the drawback of long tumor latencies, the mice were treated with DMBA for eight weeks. DMBA treatment greatly decreased the latency of mammary carcinomas in the MMTV-Neu mice although the resulting tumors remained histopathologically similar to those from MMTV-Neu control mice. Next, we examined gene expression in tumors derived from MMTV-Neu, MMTV-Neu/p53+/-, and DMBA treated mice. It was found that the characteristic MMTV-Neu tumor-defined expression pattern was still the most prevalent feature of all the MMTV-Neu tumors despite their being crossed to the p53 null allele, treated with DMBA, or both. However, tumors from the DMBA treated animals exhibited many unique gene expression changes including the high expression of stress response, defense, and inflammation genes. Finally, we demonstrated that the RXR agonists UAB30 and Targretin, both inhibited mammary cancer formation in MMTV-Neu mice, including those treated with DMBA. These results demonstrate the potential utility of this murine model for additional chemoprevention studies.
