Network analysis of normal colon organoids exposed to metformin reveals likely regulatory role for colorectal cancer genome-wide association study candidate genes

ABSTRACT: Here we aimed to define the effects of a three-day, 24-hour repeated dose exposure of metformin (90um) of colon epithelial cell gene expression through RNA-seq and network analysis (WGCNA) of 10 colon organoid lines derived from healthy individuals.

Metformin enhances human oligodendrocyte function by altering metabolism

Project description:Metformin rejuvenates adult rat oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) allowing more efficient differentiation into oligodendrocytes and improved remyelination of CNS axons and therefore is of interest as a possible therapeutic in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). We set out to test whether metformin had a similar effect in human stem cell derived-OPCs. We assessed the suitability of human monoculture, organoid and transplantation into immunodeficient mice (chimera model) culture systems in simulating in vivo adult human oligodendrocytes, finding most close resemblance in the chimera model. Metformin increased myelin proteins and/or sheaths in all models even when human cells had fetal signatures. In the chimera model, metformin led to a marked increase in mitochondrial area both in the human transplanted cells and in the mouse axons with associated increase in transcripts related to mitochondrial function and metabolism. Human oligodendrocytes from MS brain donors treated pre-mortem with metformin also expressed similar transcripts suggesting that metformin’s brain effect is not cell-specific, altering metabolism in both oligodendrocytes and axons leading to more myelin production, in part through mitochondrial changes. This bodes well for ongoing clinical trials testing metformin for neuroprotection.

RNAseq of C. elegans cultured on metformin sensitive and resistant E. coli strains with and without 50mM metformin treatment.

Project description:Metformin is the therapy of choice for treating type 2 diabetes and is currently repurposed for a wide range of diseases including aging. Recent evidence implicates the gut microbiota as a site of metformin action. Combining two tractable genetic models, the bacterium E. coli and the nematode C. elegans, we performed C. elegans RNAseq to investigate the role of the metformin sensitive OP50 and metformin resistant OP50-MR E. coli microbiota in the drug effects on the host. Our data suggest an evolutionarily conserved bacterial mediation of metformin effects on host lipid metabolism and lifespan.

Effect of metformin on gene expression in mammary tissues in association with epithelial cell reprogramming in FVB/N mouse model

Project description:Metformin shows promise in breast cancer prevention, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of metformin on the repopulation dynamics of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) and the signaling pathways in non-tumorigenic FVB/N mice. The mice were treated with metformin for 10 weeks, followed by morphogenesis, flow cytometry, analyses of MEC stemness, and RNA sequencing. The study findings indicated that metformin treatment in adult mice reduced mammary gland proliferation, as demonstrated by decreased Ki67+ cells and lateral bud formation. Additionally, metformin significantly reduced both basal and mammary repopulating unit subpopulations, indicating an impact on mammary epithelial cell repopulation. Mammosphere, colony-forming cell, and 3D culture assays revealed that metformin adversely affected mammary epithelial cell stemness. Furthermore, metformin downregulated signaling in key pathways including AMPK/mTOR, MAPK/Erk, PI3K/Akt, and ER, which contribute to its inhibitory effects on mammary proliferation and stemness. Transcriptome analysis with RNA sequencing indicated that metformin induced significant downregulation of genes involved in multiple critical pathways. KEGG-based pathway analysis indicated that genes in PI3K/Akt, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor, small cell lung cancer and immune-modulation pathways were among the top groups of differentially regulated genes. In summary, our research demonstrates that metformin inhibits MEC proliferation and stemness, accompanied by the downregulation of intrinsic signaling. These insights suggest that the regulatory effects of metformin on premalignant mammary tissues could potentially delay or prevent the onset of breast cancer, offering a promising avenue for developing new preventive strategies.

Deep Visual Proteomics advances human colon organoid models by revealing a switch to an in vivo-like phenotype upon xenotransplantation

Project description:Intestinal epithelial damage predisposes to chronic disorders like inflammatory bowel disease. The organoid model allows the cultivation, expansion and analysis of primary intestinal epithelial cells and has been instrumental in studying epithelial behavior in homeostasis and disease. Recent advances in organoid transplantation lay the base for studies of human epithelial cell behavior within the intestinal tissue context. It remained unclear how organoid transplantation into the colon affects epithelial phenotypes, which is key to assessing the model’s suitability to study human epithelial cells. We employed Deep Visual Proteomics, integrating AI-guided cell classification, laser microdissection, and an improved proteomics pipeline to study the human colon mucosa. Thereby, we created the first cell type-resolved proteomics dataset of human intestinal epithelial cells within human tissue, in vitro organoids, and the murine colon post-xenotransplantation. Our findings reveal that in vitro conditions induce a proliferative organoid phenotype, which is reversible upon transplantation and adjustment of organoid culturing conditions.

Transcriptional response of S. cerevisiae to metformin treatment in carbon-limited medium

Project description:The genome-wide transcriptional response of S. cerevisiae cells upon transfer to carbon-limited or carbon-limited and metformin supplemented media is investigated. DHO strain (BY4742 background) was cultivated batch-wise in SDC media at 30C and 180 rpm up to mid-exponential phase (OD600 ~ 0.6). The cells of the main culture were divided in three aliquots at the mid-exponential phase, centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 5 min, washed twice with deionized and distilled sterile water prior to their transfer to the treatment media. Treatment media comprised of SDC + 0.25% glucose for the C-lim control case and SDC +0.25%glucose + 1.66% metformin for the Met case. Control data for the reference condition (glucose limitation) is derived from E-MTAB-3001. Sample collection for transcriptional profiling was done at the 2nd hour of the transfer. The experiments were carried out in biological triplicates.
