Project description:Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) has been associated with cancer cell heterogeneity, plasticity and metastasis. It has been the subject of several modeling effort. This logical model of the EMT cellular network aims to assess microenvironmental signals controlling cancer-associated phenotypes amid the EMT continuum. Its outcomes relate to the qualitative degrees of cell adhesions by adherent junctions and focal adhesions, two features affected during EMT. Model attractors recover epithelial, mesenchymal and hybrid phenotypes, and simulations show that hybrid phenotypes may arise through independent molecular paths, involving stringent extrinsic signals.
Of particular interest, model predictions and their experimental validations indicated that: 1) ECM stiffening is a prerequisite for cells overactivating FAK-SRC to upregulate SNAIL1 and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype, and 2) FAK-SRC inhibition of cell-cell contacts through the Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphates kappa leads to the acquisition of a full mesenchymal rather than a hybrid phenotype.

Project description:p63 is a transcription factor central for epithelial homeostasis and development. In our model of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a human prostate cell culture model, p63 was one of the most down-regulated transcription factors during EMT. We therefore investigated the role of p63 in EMT by a gain and loss of function approach. Over-expression of the predominant epithelial isoform DNp63a in mesenchymal EPT1B8 cells led to gain of several epithelial characteristics without resulting in a complete mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET). This was corroborated by a reciprocal effect when p63 was knocked down in epithelial EP156T cells. Global gene expression analyses found that DNp63a induced gene modules involving cell adhesion genes in mesenchymal like cells. Genome-wide analysis of p63 binding sites by ChIP-seq analyses confirmed binding of p63 to regulatory areas of genes associated with cell adhesion in prostate epithelial cells.CDH1 and ZEB1 are two elemental factors in the control of EMT. Over-expression and knock-down of these factors, respectively, were not sufficient alone or in combination with DNp63a to reverse the mesenchymal phenotype in EPT1 cells. The partial reversion of epithelial to mesenchymal transition might reflect the ability of DNp63a, as a key co-ordinator of several epithelial gene expression modules, to reduce epithelial to mesenchymal plasticity (EMP). The utility of DNp63a expression and the potential of reduced EMP in order to counteract metastasis warrant further investigation.

Project description:A cell line representative of human high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) should not only resemble its tumor of origin at the molecular level, but also demonstrate functional utility in pre-clinical investigations. Here we report the integrated proteomic analysis of 26 ovarian cancer cell lines, HGSOC tumors, immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cells, and fallopian tube epithelial cells via a single-run mass spectrometric workflow. The in-depth quantitation of > 10,000 proteins results in three distinct cell line categories: epithelial (group I), clear cell (group II), and mesenchymal (group III). We identify a 67-protein cell line signature, which separates our entire proteomic dataset, as well as a confirmatory publicly available CPTAC/TCGA tumor proteome dataset, into a predominantly epithelial and mesenchymal HGSOC tumor cluster. This proteomics-based epithelial/mesenchymal stratification of cell lines and human tumors indicates a possible origin of HGSOC either from the fallopian tube or from the ovarian surface epithelium.

Project description:Appendiceal neoplasms include a heterogeneous group of epithelial and non-epithelial tumors with varying malignant potential. Despite the rise in incidence of appendiceal neoplasms in recent years, limited progress has been made in the understanding, management and therapeutic treatment. To comprehensively characterize the cell types and molecular mechanisms driving cellular remodeling in epithelial appendiceal neoplasms, we performed an integrated scRNA-seq study. We analyzed 126,998 cells from 16 appendix samples (11 peritoneal metastases samples, 5 healthy controls) and identified 33 distinct cell types/cell states with seven being cancer-specific. Highlights of our study include the characterization of tumor cells across the histologic spectrum, the identification of a novel cancer-associated-fibroblast (CAF) subtypes (fiCAFs) and the identification of pathologic-specific cellular crosstalks between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME). Together, our study provides a high-resolution insight into the complexity and heterogeneity of epithelial appendiceal neoplasms and a valuable resource for therapeutic strategies.

Project description:In this study, we present a case of parotid gland de novo carcinosarcoma. Salivary gland carcinosarcoma (or true malignant mixed tumor) is a rare biphasic neoplasm, composed of both malignant epithelial and malignant mesenchymal components. It is yet unclear whether these two phenotypes occur by collision of two independent tumors or if they are of clonal origin. To analyze the clonality of the different morphologic tumor components, oligonucleotide microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (oaCGH) was performed on the carcinoma and the sarcoma entity separately. This technique enables a high-resolution, genome-wide overview of the chromosomal alterations in the distinct tumor elements. Analysis of both fractions showed a high number of DNA copy number changes. Losses were more prevalent than gains (82 and 49, respectively). The carcinomatous element displayed more chromosomal aberrations than the sarcomatous component. Specific amplifications of MUC20 (in mesenchymal element) and BMI-1 (in both elements) loci were observed. Overall homology between the two genomic profiles was 75%. DNA copy number profiles of the epithelial and mesenchymal components in this salivary gland carcinosarcoma displayed extensive overlap, indicating a monoclonal origin. Since losses are shared to a larger extent than gains, they seem to be more essential for initial oncogenic events. Furthermore, specific amplifications of a mucin and a Polycomb group gene imply these proteins in the tumorigenesis of carcinosarcomas.

Project description:Regulation of cell-cell junction formation and regulation of cell migration were enriched among EMT (Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition)-associated alternatively splicing events. Our analysis suggested that most EMT-associated alternative splicing events are regulated by one or more members of the RBFOX, MBNL, CELF, hnRNP or ESRP classes of splicing factors. The EMT alternative splicing signature was confirmed in human breast cancer cell lines, which could be classified into basal and luminal subtypes based exclusively on their EMTassociated splicing pattern. Expression of EMT-associated alternative mRNA transcripts was also observed in primary breast cancer samples, indicating that EMT-dependent splicing changes occur commonly in human tumors. The functional significance of EMT-associated alternative splicing was tested by expression of the epithelial-specific splicing factor ESRP1 or depletion of RBFOX2 in mesenchymal cells, both of which elicited significant changes in cell morphology and motility towards an epithelial phenotype, suggesting that splicing regulation alone can drive critical aspects of EMT-associated phenotypic changes. The molecular description obtained here may aid in the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers for analysis of breast cancer progression.

Project description:The preferential localization of some neoplasms, such as serrated polyps, in specific areas of the intestine suggests that non-genetic factors may be important for their development. To test this hypothesis, we took advantage of transgenic mice that expressed HB-EGF throughout the intestine, but develop serrated polyps only in the cecum. Here we show that a host-specific microbiome was associated with serrated polyps, and that alterations of the microbiota induced by antibiotic treatment or by embryo-transfer rederivation markedly inhibited the formation of serrated polyps in the cecum. Mechanistically, development of serrated polyps was associated with a local decrease in epithelial barrier-function, bacterial invasion, production of antimicrobials, and increased expression of several inflammatory factors such as IL-17, Cxcl2, Tnf-α, and IL-1. Increased number of neutrophils were found within the serrated polyps, and their depletion significantly reduced polyp growth. Together these results indicate that non-genetic factors contribute to the development of serrated polyps and suggest that the development of these intestinal neoplasms in the cecum is driven by the interplay between genetic changes in the host, an inflammatory response, and a host-specific microbiota. SUMMARY: Serrated polyps (SP) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms found in particular areas of the gut. To define the factors contributing to their specific localization, we analyzed a strain of transgenic mice that carry a genetic alteration throughout the intestinal epithelium, but only develop SP in the cecum. Transcriptome and immunostaining analyses showed increased expression of antimicrobial genes, inflammatory factors, and the presence of bacteria within SP. Alteration of the cecal microbiota by antibiotic treatment or by embryo-transfer rederivation dramatically reduced SP incidence. Microbiome analysis implicated a limited set of bacteria in the development of SP. Together, these results point to a crucial role for the microbiota in the localized development of SP in a genetically susceptible host. We obtained serrated polyp (SP) and surrounding normal (NM) tissue from the ceca of three affected mice (paired design) and assessed expression differences by RNA-Seq.
