Single-cell analysis uncovers preserved prostate cancer lineages and universally altered pathways in Matrigel-free patient-derived organoids

ABSTRACT: The application of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) in prostate cancer (PCa) research has been hampered by poor take-rates and benign overgrowth. We highlight the limitations of existing culture conditions and identify extracellular matrix (ECM) composition as a determinant of organoid outcome. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reveals that Matrigel-free PDOs preserve patient-specific PCa cells with active AR signaling, and enrich in intermediate cells. In contrast, Matrigel fails to maintain primary PCa cells and produces in vitro basal-like cells divergent from patient samples. Furthermore, we redefine cell type-signatures, identify biomarkers discriminating tumor versus all other cell types, and show that expression of laminin-binding integrins is a hallmark of Matrigel-derived organoids. Finally, integrating previously published datasets with our data, we generate a Prostate PDO single-cell atlas (PPScA). The PPScA captures a spectrum of cellular identities, and reveals pathways universally altered in vitro. Our study provides methodological improvements for short-term cultures and cellular biology insights.

Multi-layer stratified oncology platform utilizing transcriptomics, prostate cancer organoids, and modeling of drug response

Project description:The high intra-patient heterogeneity in multifocal primary prostate cancer (PCa) has curtailed the efficacy of current treatment options. By employing twin biopsies from multiple lesions with matched Patient-derived organoids (PDO) models, the PCa molecular heterogeneity was investigated. We utilized genomics, transcriptomics and machine learning (ML) approaches to elucidate and predict the underlying mechanisms of pharmacological heterogeneity. Our data indicate a vulnerability of primary PCa organoids for small molecule inhibitors targeting receptor tyrosine kinases (MET, ALK, SRC). By exploring gene expression data from matched parental tissue in an unsupervised manner, we identified two distinct clusters of samples. Interestingly, the PDO drug responses were significantly different between the two clusters for 4/11 compounds tested. We developed a transcriptomics-based, cluster prediction model, which can accurately stratify samples into the two clusters. Notably, our prediction model is based on tissue profiles; therefore, it can be utilized to rapidly evaluate new cases and suggest promising drug candidates, even when PDO derivation is not feasible. Taken together, we propose a novel flexible stratified oncology approach that can swiftly and accurately highlight promising drug vulnerabilities of PCa patients.

Single cell RNA sequencing of patient-derived origanoids of prostate cancer reveals specific markers for prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:We have performed a single cell RNA sequencing using 10x Genomics platform on patient-derived origanoids (PDO) established from advanced prostate cancer patients. PDOs are classified into different clusters according to their phenotypes. Among the five PDOs, KBO159, which was established from prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), expressed unique molecular signatures that were considered potential novel biomarkers for PDA, when integrated with our results of spatial transcriptomic analysis.

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).

Colorectal cancer organoids drive patient-specific inflammation, cytotoxicity and tissue-residency programs in NK cells

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells represent a promising strategy for cellular cancer immunotherapy, but it remains unclear which patients benefit by such therapies. Using co-cultures of primary human allogenic NK cells and patient-derived colon cancer organoids (PDOs), we could stratify PDOs into NK cell “highly susceptible” and “rather resistant” groups reflected by differential expression of NKG2D-ligands, MHC class I and CEACAM. RNA-seq unveiled that hypoxia- and TGF-β-related gene signatures were induced in NK cells after PDO co-culture. Deletion of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2a in primary NK cells or blocking of TGF-β-R1 empowered NK cell-mediated PDO killing. We further demonstrate that upon PDO killing, NK cells adopted an activation/inflammationhigh, cytotoxicitylow, tissue-residencyhigh program as evidenced by CXCR6 and CD49a expression coinciding with a “hot” cytokine/chemokine-rich microenvironment. Since PDO-exposed NK cells largely resemble features of NK cells from CRC patient tissues, our NK cell/PDO platform could be highly relevant for the optimization of NK cell products for personalized medicine.

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.

Bladder cancer organoids as a functional system to model different disease stages and therapy response

Project description:Bladder Cancer (BLCa) inter-patient heterogeneity is the primary cause of treatment failure, suggesting that patients could benefit from a more personalized treatment approach. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) have been successfully used as a functional model for predicting drug response in different cancers. In our study, we established PDO cultures from different BLCa stages and grades. PDOs preserve the histological and molecular heterogeneity of the parental tumors (PTs), including their multiclonal genetic landscapes, and consistently share key genetic alterations, mirroring tumor evolution in longitudinal sampling. Our drug screening pipeline was implemented using PDOs, testing both standard-of-care and FDA-approved compounds for other tumors. Integrative analysis of drug response profiles with matched PDO genomic analysis was used to determine enrichment thresholds for candidate markers of therapy response and resistance. Finally, by assessing the clinical history of longitudinally sampled cases we were able to assess the disease clonal evolution matched with drug response.

Tissue extracellular matrix hydrogels as alternative to Matrigel for culturing gastrointestinal organoid

Project description:Matrigel, a mouse tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) protein mixture, is an indispensable component of most organoid tissue culture. However, it has limited the utility of organoids for drug development and regenerative medicine due to its tumor-derived origin, batch-to22 batch variation, high cost, and safety issues. Here, we demonstrate that gastrointestinal (GI) tissue-derived ECM hydrogels are a suitable substitute for Matrigel in GI organoid culture. We found that the development and function of GI organoids grown in GI ECM hydrogels are comparable or often superior to those in Matrigel. In addition, GI ECM hydrogels enabled long-term subculture and transplantation of GI organoids by providing GI tissue-mimetic microenvironments. Tissue-specific and age-related ECM profiles of GI ECM hydrogels that affect organoid development were also elucidated through proteomic analysis. Together, our results suggest that ECM hydrogels derived from decellularized GI tissues are an effective alternative to the current gold standard, Matrigel, and produce organoids suitable for GI disease modeling, drug development, and tissue regeneration.
