Single-cell multi-omics characterize colorectal tumors, adjacent healthy tissue and matched organoids identifying CRC-unique features

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises in the colorectal tissue driven by genetic disorder or the accumulation of somatic mutations, leading to abnormal epithelial cell growth. In this study, we employed single-nucleus multi-omics analysis, including single-nucleus RNA-seq and single-nucleus ATAC-seq, on over 100,000 high-quality nuclei to investigate the molecular landscape of both primary tissue and patient-derived organoids (PDOs). Our analysis showed that normal PDOs (N-PDOs) derived from tissue adjacent to tumors replicate the cellular composition and differentiation trajectory of colorectal crypts. In contrast, tumor PDOs (T-PDOs) showed patient-specific transcriptomic and epigenomic heterogeneity yet consistently maintained a stem cell-like state. T-PDOs retained the somatic mutation profile of the primary tumor while also exhibiting de novo mutations not detected in either the primary tumor or N-PDOs. Notably, inferred cell-cell interaction analysis highlighted the activin signaling pathway as a potential unique feature of fibroblast-epithelial interactions within tumor microenvironment. This study provides a comprehensive view of the transition from normal to malignant colorectal epithelium and underscores the utility of PDOs as faithful model for capturing both conserved and patient-specific features of colorectal cancer.

The epigenetic landscape of human colorectal cancer

Project description:We characterized the epigenetic landscape of human colorectal cancer (CRC). To this extent, we performed gene expression profiling using high throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) and genome wide binding/occupancy profiling (ChIP-seq) for histone modifications correlated to transcriptional activity, enhancers, elongation and repression (H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27Ac, H3K36me3, H3K27me3) in patient-derived organoids (PDOs), and in normal and tumoral primary colon tissues. We also generated ChIP-seq data for transcription factors YAP/TAZ in human CRC PDOs.

Culture media composition influences patient-derived organoids ability to predict therapeutic response in gastrointestinal cancers

Project description:In this study, we have generated patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from primary and metastatic lesions of gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma and evaluated their ability to predict donor tumor drug response. Specifically, we examined individual PDO responses to therapeutic agents with the observed clinical responses of donor patients to the same treatments and demonstrated an approximately 80% concordance rate. Importantly, we found a profound influence of culture media in PDOs phenotypes, we observed a significant difference in response to common PDAC chemotherapies, distinct morphologies, and transcriptomes between media in the same PDOs. These studies demonstrate the important role of culture media when using PDOs to inform patient care and predict response across a spectrum of GI cancers. We compared transcriptome data from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patient-derived organoids in two media (WNT and PaTOM).

Mimicking tumor cell heterogeneity of colorectal cancer in a patient-derived organoid-fibroblast model

Project description:Patient derived organoids (PDOs) have been established as a 3D culture model which closely recapitulates the in vivo tumor biology. However, one limitation of this culture model is the lack of tumor microenvironment which has a significant role in tumor progression and drug response. To address this, we established and molecularly characterized a novel 3D co-culture model of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on PDOs and patient matched fibroblasts. Both normal and cancer associated fibroblasts, NFs and CAFs respectively, were able to support organoid growth without addition of niche factors to the media. Additionally, co-cultures showed closer resemblance to primary patient material than organoid mono-cultures as evaluated by histology. Finally, RNA gene expression signatures of tumor cells and fibroblasts isolated from mono- or co-cultures demonstrated that co-cultures support greater cell type heterogeneity. In this proteomics dataset we compared pairs of NFs and CAFs derived from five patients. Collectively, we present a newly established human derived organoid-fibroblast model which, closely recapitulates in vivo tumor heterogeneity and involves the tumor microenvironment.

Analysis of copy number changes primary and metastatic colorectal cancer samples

Project description:Structural rearrangements form a major class of somatic variation in cancer genomes. Local chromosome shattering, termed chromothripsis, is a mechanism proposed to be the cause of clustered chromosomal rearrangements and was recently described to occur in a small percentage of tumors. The significance of these clusters for tumor development or metastatic spread is largely unclear. We used genome-wide long mate-pair sequencing and SNP array profiling to reveal that chromothripsis is a widespread phenomenon in primary colorectal cancer and metastases. We find large and small chromothripsis events in nearly every colorectal tumor sample and show that several breakpoints of chromothripsis clusters and isolated rearrangements affect cancer genes, including NOTCH2, EXO1 and MLL3. We complemented the structural variation studies by sequencing the coding regions of a cancer exome in all colorectal tumor samples and found somatic mutations in 24 genes, including APC, KRAS, SMAD4 and PIK3CA. A pairwise comparison of somatic variations in primary and metastatic samples indicated that in many chromothripsis clusters, isolated rearrangements and point mutations are exclusively present in either the primary tumor or the metastasis and may affect cancer genes in a lesion-specific manner. We conclude that chromothripsis is a prevalent mechanism driving structural rearrangements in colorectal cancer and show that a complex interplay between point mutations, simple copy number changes and chromothripsis events drive colorectal tumor development and metastasis. We analyzed 16 tissue samples from four patients. For each patient we analyzed the DNA of a primary colon tumor sample, a normal colon tissue sample, a metastatic liver tumor sample and a normal liver tissue sample. The normal colon and normal liver samples serve as a control for the primary and metastatic tumor samples.

Trellis Single-Cell Screening Reveals Stromal Regulation of Patient-Derived Organoid Drug Responses

Project description:Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) can model personalized therapy responses, however current screening technologies cannot reveal drug response mechanisms or how tumor microenvironment cells alter therapeutic performance. To address this, we developed a highly-multiplexed mass cytometry platform to measure post translational modification (PTM) signaling, DNA-damage, cell-cycle activity, and apoptosis in >2,500 colorectal cancer (CRC) PDOs and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in response to clinical therapies at single-cell resolution. To compare patient- and microenvironment specific drug responses in thousands of single-cell datasets, we developed Trellis — a highly-scalable, hierarchical tree-based treatment effect analysis method. Trellis single-cell screening revealed that on-target cell-cycle blockage and DNA-damage drug effects are common, even in chemorefractory PDOs. However, drug-induced apoptosis is rare, patient-specific, and aligns with cancer cell PTM signaling. We find that CAFs can regulate cancer cell plasticity — shifting proliferative stem cells to slow-cycling revival stem cells via YAP to protect cancer cells from chemotherapy.

Image-based profiling identifies compound induced phenotypes in patient-derived organoids

Project description:Patient derived organoids (PDOs) closely resemble individual tumor biology. They are thus promising models for drug discovery and precision medicine. Here, we describe high-throughput imaging and automated image analysis of PDOs. We generated PDOs from colorectal cancer patients. Subsequently, we treated them with >500 substances to capture almost 6 million images by confocal microscopy. We developed a software framework to analyze how perturbations alter the organization of multicellular PDOs. Therewith, we observed a rich spectrum of reoccurring phenotypes. Targeting cellular processes, including signaling by MEK, GSK3 or CDKs, led to distinct architectural changes. Also, we detected compound-induced phenotypes only present in subsets of PDOs with specific molecular alterations. Finally, PDO response to anticancer drugs matched the clinical course of corresponding patients. The presented high-throughput imaging workflow and data allow compound profiling with complex multicellular organoid models for drug discovery and personalized medicine. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying different lines of patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids.

Single-cell landscapes of primary glioblastomas and matched organoids and cell lines reveal variable retention of inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity [scWGS]

Project description:Glioblastomas (GBMs) are aggressive primary malignant brain tumors characterized by extensive levels of inter- and intra-tumor genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) have recently emerged as useful models to study such heterogeneity. Here, we present bulk exome as well as single-cell genome and transcriptome profiles of primary IDH wild type GBMs from ten patients, including two recurrent tumors, as well as PDOs and brain tumor-initiating cell (BTIC) lines derived from these patients. We find that PDOs are genetically similar to and variably retain gene expression characteristics of their parent tumors. At the phenotypic level, PDOs appear to exhibit similar levels of transcriptional heterogeneity as their parent tumors, whereas BTIC lines tend to be enriched for cells in a more uniform transcriptional state. The datasets introduced here will provide a valuable resource to help guide experiments using GBM-derived organoids, especially in the context of studying cellular heterogeneity.
