Single-Cell RNA-seq Reveals Obesity-Induced Alterations in the BRAC1 Mutant Mammary Tumor Microenvironment

ABSTRACT: In this study, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies to investigate the impact of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity on transcriptomic landscapes of stromal and immune cells in mammary glands of Brca1-/-;p53+/- mice, an animal breast cancer model. The scRNA-seq profiling data showed that five different subtypes of stromal fibroblasts existed in mouse mammary glands. HFD-induced obesity led to upregulated expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes (Col3a1, Col6a3, Eln, and Sparc) and downregulated expression of immunoregulatory genes (Iigp1, Ccl2, and Cxcl10) in these stromal subtype cells. These findings, taken together, suggest that obesity alters the ECM composition and immune ecosystem through modulating the functionality of mammary stromal cells. Moreover, scRNA-seq analysis of mammary immune cells indicated that HFD-induced obesity promoted the generation and/or recruiting of pro-tumorigenic M2 macrophages in mammary glands.

Transcription profiling of mouse Pten Null Fibroblasts

Project description:The tumor stroma is believed to contribute to some of the most malignant characteristics of epithelial tumors. However, signaling between stromal and tumor cells is complex and remains poorly understood. Here we show that genetic inactivation of Pten in stromal fibroblasts of mouse mammary glands accelerated the initiation, progression and malignant transformation of mammary epithelial tumors. Global gene expression profiling in mammary stromal cells identified a Pten-specific signature associated with massive extra-cellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, innate immune cell infiltraion and increased angiogenesis. Execution of this transcriptional program was mediated, in part, by the induction, phosphorylation and recruitment of Ets2 to target promoters. Remarkably, Ets2 inactivation in Pten stroma-deleted tumors was sufficient to decrease tumor growth and progression. These findings identify the Pten-Ets2 axis as a critical stroma-specific signaling pathway that suppresses mammary epithelial tumors. Experiment Overall Design: Wild type and Pten null primary mammary fibroblasts isolated from 8 week old female mice were cultured, RNA was extracted and Affymetrix gene expression arrays were performed.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Identifies Pituitary Gland Population Changes in Diet-Induced Obesity

Project description:The obesity incidence is increasing worldwide with the urgent need to identify new therapeutics. Obesity is associated with endocrine alterations, arising from changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary hormone axes, leading to reproductive disorders, altered basal metabolism and stress hormone production. The focus of this study was to determine if diet induced obesity alters pituitary gland plasticity, gene expression and hormone production and secretion. Here we performed single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) on pituitary glands from control (CTRL) and high fat diet (HFD) fed males and looked at cell type population dynamics and gene expression changes between HFD and CTRL for all hormone-producing cell types. Our study revealed diet-induced changes in pituitary gland plasticity and hormone production that may play a role in altered hormone production in obese patients and consequently, dysregulation of pituitary gland homeostasis.

In utero exposure of rats to high-fat diets perturbs gene-expression profiles and cancer susceptibility of prepubertal mammary glands

Project description:Human studies suggest that high-fat diets (HFD) increase the risk of breast cancer. The 7,12 dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary carcinogenesis rat model is commonly used to evaluate the effects of lifestyle factors such as HFD on mammary-tumor risk. Past studies focused primarily on the effects of continuous maternal exposure on the risk of offspring at the end of puberty (PND50). We assessed the effects of prenatal HFD exposure on cancer susceptibility in prepubertal mammary glands and identified key gene networks associated with such disruption. During pregnancy, dams were fed AIN93G-based diets with high (39% Kcal) olive oil, butterfat, or safflower oil. The control group received AIN-93G with 10% Kcal soy oil. Female offspring were treated with DMBA on PND21. However, a significant increase in tumor volume and a trend of shortened tumor latency were observed in rates with HFD exposure against the controls (p=0.067 and 0.048 respectively). Large-volume tumors harbored carcinoma in situ. Transcriptome profiling identified 43 differentially expressed genes in the mammary glands of the HFD group as compared with control. Rapid hormone signaling was the most dysregulated pathway. The diet also induced aberrant expression of Dnmt3a, Mbd1, and Mbd3, suggesting potential epigenetic disruption. Collectively, these findings provide the first evidence supporting susceptibility of prepubertal mammary glands to DMBA-induced tumorigenesis that can be modulated by dietary fat that involves aberrant gene expression and epigenetic dysregulation.

The Adipocyte acquires a Fibroblast-like Transcriptional Signature in response to a High Fat Diet.

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of isolated adipocytes after 8, 20 and 34 weeks high fat diet. Our data demonstrate that the adipocyte responds to the HFD by adopting a fibroblast-like phenotype, characterized by enhanced expression of ECM, focal adhesion and cytoskeletal genes and suppression of many adipocyte programs most notably those associated with mitochondria. Purpose: Visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) expands and undergoes extensive remodeling during diet-induced obesity. Much is known about the contribution of various stromal vascular cells to the remodeling process, but less is known of the changes that occur within the adipocyte as it becomes progressively dysfunctional. Here, we performed a transcriptome analysis of isolated vWAT adipocytes to assess global pathway changes occurring in response to a chronic high fat diet (HFD). Methods: C57BL/6J mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD) or chow for 8, 20 and 34 weeks. At each time, metabolic parameters were measured and RNAseq performed on RNA isolated from adipocyte and stromal vascular cell fractions of the corresponding perigonadal white adipose tissue (eWAT). Results: Our data demonstrate that the adipocyte responds to the HFD by adopting a fibroblast-like phenotype, characterized by enhanced expression of ECM, focal adhesion and cytoskeletal genes and suppression of many adipocyte programs most notably those associated with mitochondria. Conclusions: This study reveals that during obesity the adipocyte progressively becomes metabolically dysfunctional due to its acquisition of fibrogenic functions. We propose that mechano-responsive transcription factors such as MRTFA and SRF contribute to both upregulation of morphological genes as well as suppression of mitochondrial programs.

High-fat diet decreases expression of genes controlling lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function and skeletal system development in adipose tissue, along with increased expression of extracellular matrix remodeling- and inflammation-related genes

Project description:We identified differentially expressed genes in epididymal white adipose tissue of high fat diet(HFD)-fed mice compared to low fat diet-fed mice using microarray analysis. Microarray analysis revealed that genes related to lipolysis, fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial energy transduction, oxidation-reduction, insulin sensitivity, and skeletal system development were downregulated in HFD-fed mice, and genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) components, ECM remodeling, and inflammation were upregulated. The top 10 up- or downregulated genes include Acsm3, mt-Nd6, Fam13a, Cyp2e1, Rgs1, and Gpnmb, whose roles in obesity-associated adipose tissue deterioration are poorly understood. Total RNA of epididymal white adipose tissue was obtained from low fat diet (10 kcal% fat)- and high fat diet(45 kcal% fat)-fed mice and mRNA expression was measured using microarray analysis.

Gene expression in liver and lung of a high-fat diet fed, metastasizing mammary tumor-bearing and obesity-resistant mice

Project description:We explored early changes in gene expression in the livers and lungs of the HFD-fed, metastasizing mammary tumor-bearing and obesity-resistant mice mice. These alterations may have led to favorable conditions for both the formation of pro-inflammatory and pro-mitotic microenvironments in the target organs that promote immune cell infiltration and differentiation, as well as infiltration and proliferation of metastatic tumor cells. Total RNA was isolated from hepatic and pulmonary tissues of high fat diet fed-4T1 cell-injected mice or high fat diet fed-sham mice. Gene expressions were compared to control diet fed-same conditional mice.
