Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit immunosuppressive properties. However the homing mechanisms underlying MSC trafficking to target tissues remain elusive. Here we report that skin-derived MSCs (S-MSCs) secrete high levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), inhibit T helper (Th)1- and Th17-cell differentiation, and possess IL-6-dependent immunomodulatory capacity in inflammatory microenvironment. Disruption of the il6 locus or its signaling transducer gp130 blocks voltage-operated calcium (Ca2+) channels (VOCC) critically required for cell contraction involved in the sequential adhesion and de-adhesion events during S-MSC migration. IL-6 directly regulates CaV2.3 encoded by cacna1e of R-type Ca2+ channels through the JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway. Deletion of il6 or silencing CaV2.3 gene expression leads to a severe defect in S-MSC’s homing and immunosuppressive function in vivo. Thus, this unexpected requirement of autocrine IL-6 for activating CaV2.3 Ca2+ channels uncovers a previously unrecognized link between IL-6 signaling and the VOCC, and provides novel mechanistic insights for the immunomodulatory activities of S-MSCs. A two chip study using total RNA recovered from three mixed S-MSCs derived from WT mice and three mixed S-MSCs derived from IL6KO mice.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME), which comprises cellular and noncellular components, is involved in the complex process of cancer development. Emerging evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), one of the vital regulators of the TME, foster tumor progression through paracrine secretion. However, the comprehensive phospho-signaling pathways that are mediated by MSCs-secreting factors have not yet been fully established. In this study, we attempt to dissect the MSCs-triggered mechanism in lung cancer using quantitative phosphoproteomics. A total of 1958 phosphorylation sites are identified in lung cancer cells stimulated with MSCs-conditioned medium (MSC-CM). Integrative analysis of the identified phosphoproteins and predicted kinases demonstrates that MSC-CM functionally promotes the proliferation and migration of lung cancer via the ERK/phospho-c-Fos-S374 pathway. Recent studies have reported that extracellular ATP accumulates in the tumor microenvironment and stimulates the P2X7 receptor on the cancer cell membrane via purinergic signaling. We observe that ectopic ATP synthase is located on the surface of MSCs and excreted extracellular ATP into the lung cancer microenvironment to trigger the ERK/phospho-c-Fos-Ser374 pathway, which is consistent with these previous findings. Our results suggest that ectopic ATP synthase on the surface of MSCs releases extracellular ATP into the tumor microenvironment, which promotes cancer progression via activation of the ERK/phospho-c-Fos-Ser374 pathway.

Project description:We analyzed transcriptional differences by RNA-sequencing of muscle tissue of neonatal Shank3Δ11(-/-) mice and compared those to Shank3(+/+) controls. We found significant differences in gene expression of ion channels crucial for muscle contraction and for molecules involved in calcium ion regulation. In addition, calcium storage- (i.e. Calsequestrin (CSQ)), calcium secretion- and calcium- related signaling- proteins were found to be affected.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can be obtained from several sources and the significant differences in their properties, makes it crucial to investigate the differentiation potential of MSCs from different sources to determine the optimal source of MSCs. We investigated if this biological heterogeneity in MSCs from different sources results in different mechanisms for their differentiation. In this study, we compared the gene expression patterns of phenotypically defined MSCs derived from three ontogenically different sources: Embryonic stem cells (hES-MSCs), Fetal limb (Flb-MSCs) and Bone Marrow (BM-MSCs). Differentially expressed genes between differentiated cells and undifferentiated controls were compared across the three MSC sources. We found minimal overlap in differential gene expression (5-16%) among the three sources. Flb-MSCs were similar to BM-MSCs based on differential gene expression patterns. Pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed a large variation in the canonical pathways leading to MSC differentiation. The similar canonical pathways among the three sources were lineage specific. The Flb-MSCs showed maximum overlap of canonical pathways with the BM-MSCs, indicating that the Flb-MSCs is an intermediate source between the less specialised hES-MSC source and the more specialised BM-MSC source. The source specific pathways prove that MSCs from the three ontogenically different sources use different biological pathways to obtain similar differentiation outcomes. Thus our study advocates the understanding of biological pathways to obtain optimal sources of MSCs for various clinical applications.

Project description:Ion channels and transporters have increasingly recognized roles in cancer progression through the regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and death. Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) are a source of tumor formation and recurrence in glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive brain cancer, suggesting that ion channel expression may be perturbed in this population. However, little is known about the expression and functional relevance of ion channels that may contribute to GSC malignancy. Using RNA sequencing, we assessed the enrichment of ion channels in GSC isolates and non-tumor neural cell types. We identified a unique set of GSC-enriched ion channels using differential expression analysis that stratify by molecular subtype and are associated with distinct gene mutation signatures. In support of potential clinical relevance, expression of selected GSC-enriched ion channels evaluated in human glioblastoma databases of The Cancer Genome Atlas and Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project correlated with patient survival times. Finally, genetic knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of individual or classes of GSC-enriched ion channels constrained growth of GSCs compared to normal neural stem cells. This first-in-kind global examination characterizes ion channels enriched in GSCs and explores their potential clinical relevance to glioblastoma molecular subtypes, gene mutations, survival outcomes, regional tumor expression, and experimental responses to loss-of-function. Together, the data support the potential biological and therapeutic impact of ion channels on GSC malignancy and provide strong rationale for further examination of their mechanistic and therapeutic importance.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem-cells (MSCs) are of particular interest for treating immune-related diseases due to their immunosuppressive capacities. Here, we show that Small sized MSCs primed with Hypoxia and Calcium ion (SHC-MSCs) exhibit the enhanced functions regarding stemness and immunomodulation for treating allogeneic conflicts. Compared with naïve cultured human umbilical cord-blood MSCs, SHC-MSCs were resistant to the passage dependent cellular senescence mediated by MCP-1 and p53/p21 cascade and highly secreted the pro-angiogenic and immune-modulatory factors, resulting in suppression of T-cell proliferation. Genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis indicate that SHC-MSCs characteristically up-regulated immune-modulation, cell adhesion and cell-cycle related genes. As downstream factors, PLK1, ZNF143, DHRS3, and FOG2 proteins played a key role on the beneficial effects of SHC-MSCs, evidenced by the promoted self-renewal, migration, pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and T cell suppression capacities in their-over-expressing MSCs. Importantly, administration of SHC-MSCs or PLK1-over-expressing cells (PLK1-MSCs) significantly reduced the symptoms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a humanized mouse model which led to significantly improved survival, less weight loss, and less histopathologic injuries of GVHD target organs compared with naive MSC-infused mice. Collectively, our study suggests that small-sized MSCs primed with hypoxia could advance the therapeutic strategy for the clinical treatment of allogeneic conflicts including GVHD.

Project description:The synovium secretes synovial fluid but is also richly innervated with nociceptors and acts as a gateway between avascular joint tissues and the circulatory system. Resident fibroblast-like synoviocytes’ (FLS) calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa) change in activity in arthritis models and this correlates with FLS activation. To deepen our understanding of the synovium in the context of synovial joint health and disease, the electrophysiological profile of FLS cells needs to be characterised, along with the ion channels that are present. Ion channels are an essential component of any cell membrane that controls ion movement in and out of the cell and play an important role in a multitude of cell regulating processes, typically by modulating the membrane potential To this end, we chose to perform an UNBIASED screen to identify/screen the ion channels that are transcribed in these cells and determine if this "channelome" changes with cytokine exposure. PCR/Westerns naturally bias toward the known proteins and transcripts and so we used Next Generation sequencing to scan the entire transcriptome. Objective: To determine the mechanism of this activation in an in vitro model of inflammatory arthritis; 72hr treatment with the cytokines TNFa and IL1b.

Project description:The cellular and molecular actions of general anaesthetics to induce anaesthesia state and also cellular signalling changes for subsequent potential “long term” effects remain largely elusive although great efforts have been made to study these in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo settings. General anaesthetics were reported to act on voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels. Here we used single-cell RNA-sequencing complemented with whole-cell patch clamp and calcium transient techniques to examine the gene transcriptome and ion channels profiling of sevoflurane and propofol, both commonly used clinically, on human embryonic primary prefrontal cortex (PFC) mixed cell cultures. Both propofol and sevoflurane at clinically relevant dose/concentration promoted “microgliosis” but only sevoflurane changed microglia cell similarity. Propofol and sevoflurane each extensively but transiently altered transcriptome profiling 2 hours after anaesthetics exposure across microglia, excitatory neurons, interneurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Within the excitatory neurons and microglia, exemplary ion-gated and ligand-gated ion channels related genes response to either anaesthetic included SCN1A, CACNAB2, KCNA1, GABRR2 and GRINA1 amongst many others. Utilising scRNA-seq as a robust and high-throughput tool, our work may provide a comprehensive blueprint for future mechanistic studies of general anaesthetics in clinically relevant settings.
