Self-assembly of hybrid 3D cultures by integrating living and synthetic cells

ABSTRACT: Self-assembly is a fundamental property of living matter that drives the three-dimensional (3D) organization of cell collectives such as tissues and organs. Here, the co-assembly of synthetic and natural cells is leveraged to create hybrid living 3D cancer cultures. We demonstrate that synthetic cells based on droplet-supported lipid bilayers can establish artificial tumor immune microenvironments (ART-TIMEs), mimicking immunogenic signals within tumoroids formed by the cell line PANC-1 and eliminating the need to integrate complex living immune cells. Using the ART-TIME approach, we identify a co-signaling mechanism between PD-1 and other T cell-derived surface receptors as a driver in immune evasion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Epigenetic impairment and blunted transcriptional response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis of alveolar macrophages from persons living with HIV (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). HIV-associated TB is mainly the result of recent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) followed by rapid progression to disease. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are the first cells of the innate immune system that engage Mtb, but how HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART) impact on the anti-mycobacterial response of AM is not known. In this study AM were challenged in vitro with Mtb, and their epigenetic and transcriptomic responses were determined for PLWH receiving ART, control subjects who were HIV-free (HC) and subjects who received pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with ART to prevent HIV infection. Compared to HC subjects’ response to Mtb, we showed that AM isolated from PLWH and PrEP subjects displayed substantially weaker transcriptomic response and no significant changes in their chromatin state. These findings revealed a previously unknown adverse effect of ART.

A co-culture system of macrophages with breast cancer tumoroids to study cell interactions and therapeutic responses

Project description:3D tumoroids have revolutionized in vitro/ex vivo cancer biology by recapitulating the complex diversity of tumors. While tumoroid provide new insights into cancer development and treatment response, several limitations remain. The tumor microenvironment, especially the immune system, strongly influences tumor development. Absence of immune cells in tumoroids may yield flawed conclusions. Macrophages, key players in tumor progression, pose integration challenges into tumoroid. In this study, we established three optimized and standardized methods for co-culturing human macrophages with breast cancer tumoroids: a semi-liquid model and two matrix-embedded models tailored for specific applications. Optimizing culture conditions, we tracked interactions and macrophage infiltration using flow cytometry and light sheet microscopy. Macrophages not only influenced tumoroid molecular profiles but also chemotherapy response. This underscores the importance of increasing the complexity of current 3D models to more accurately reflect in vivo conditions. The three models have different application and can be used in various ways.

Aminobisphosphonates reactivate the latent reservoir in people living with HIV-1

Project description:Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not curative due to the existence of cellular reservoirs of latent HIV-1 that persist during therapy 1. Current research efforts to cure HIV-1 infection include “shock and kill” strategies to disrupt latency using small molecules or latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to induce expression of HIV-1 enabling cytotoxic immune cells to eliminate infected cells 2. However, the modest success of current LRAs urges the field to identify novel drugs with increased clinical efficacy 3,4. Aminobisphosphonates that include pamidronate, zoledronate, or alendronate, are the first-line treatment of bone-related diseases including osteoporosis and bone malignancies 5. Here, we show the use of aminobisphosphonates as a novel class of LRA: we found in ex vivo assays using primary cells from ART-suppressed people living with HIV-1 that aminobisphosphonates induce HIV-1 from latency to levels that are comparable to the T cell activator phytohemagglutinin. RNA sequencing and mechanistic data suggested that reactivation may occur through activation of the activator protein 1 signaling pathway. Stored samples from a prior clinical trial aimed at analyzing the effect of alendronate on bone mineral density, provided further of alendronate-mediated latency reversal and activation of immune effector cells.Decay of the reservoir measured by IPDA was however not detected. Our results demonstrate the novel use of aminobisphosphonates to reverse HIV-1 latency while inducing immune effector functions. This preliminary evidence merits further investigation in a controlled clinical setting possibly in combination with therapeutic vaccination.

BRBseq performed on tumoroids and corresponding renal tumor tissues

Project description:To evaluate genetic similarities between tumoroids and the corresponding tumor tissues, we performed RNA sequencing of cells for each experimental condition. Since we injected human cancer cells into mice, cancer cells in the tumors were human while microenvironmental cells (i.e. Fibroblasts, Immune cells,…) were derived from mice. Thus, the RNA sequencing datasets generated from ACHN or 786-O tumor tissues (AxM and 7xM) and their respective tumoroids (AxTy and 7xTy) were mapped on human and mouse reference genome.

Transcription profiling of Strongyloides ratti free-living males and females and parastic and free-living females

Project description:This experiment exploits the life-cycle of Strongyloides ratti, which is a parasitic nematode of brown rats that exhibits three adult stages within its life-cycle - parasitic females, freeliving females and free-living males. We use a cDNA microarray to examine patterns of (i) gender-biased gene expression by contrasting free-living females against free-living males, and (ii) parasitic-biased expression by contrasting parasitic females against free-living females. Of the 3688 distinct transcripts represented on our array, 20% exhibited male-biased expression 19% exhibit female-biased expression, 11% exhibit parasitic-biased expression and 8% exhibit free-living-biased expression. Among the top responding genes, an orthologue of major sperm protein is upregulated in males, distinct aspartic protease orthologues are upregulated in either parasitic or in free-living females, and orthologues of hsp-17 chaperone are upregulated in parasitic females. Upon a global analysis of gene expression, we find that female-biased expression is associated with genes involved in reproductive processes and larval development, that male-biased expression is associated with genes involved in metabolism, and that free-living biased expression is associated with genes involved in regulation of body fluids and response to external stimulus. The association of gene ontology with parasite-biased expression is less clear. Our results provide an initial gene expression analysis of gender- and parasite-biased expression in S. ratti, may be more generally applicable to other parasitic nematodes, and may help to refine the search for novel drug or vaccine targets against parasitic nematodes.
