ACGH from mouse gPAK testicular teratocarcinomas

ABSTRACT: Testicular germ cell tumors are among the most responsive solid cancers to conventional chemotherapy. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we developed a mouse testicular germ cell tumor model in which germ cell-specific oncogenic Kras activation and tumor suppressor Pten inactivation was driven by CRE-mediated recombination. The resulting mice rapidly developed malignant, metastatic testicular cancers composed of both teratoma and embryonal carcinoma, the latter of which exhibited stem cell characteristics, including expression of the pluripotency factor OCT4. As part of our analysis of mouse gPAK testicular tumors, as well as comparison to benign 129-Dnd1Ter/Ter testicular teratomas, we used NimbleGen Mouse CGH 3x720k Whole-Genome Tiling Arrays to assess copy number variations in this novel genetically engineered mouse model of malignant, metastatic testicular cancer.

Proteomic profiling of cisplatin-resistant and cisplatin-sensitive germ cell tumor cell lines using quantitative mass spectrometry

Project description:Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common malignant solid neoplasms in men between the age of 15 and 40 with an increasing incidence seen over the last four decades. Histologically, type II GCT are divided into seminomas (SEM) and non-seminomatous GCT (NSGCT) according to the WHO. NSGCT comprise distinct subentities, e.g. embry-onal carcinomas (EC), yolk sac tumors, choriocarcinomas and teratomas (TER). The distinction between SEM and NSGCT is important because of varying treatment approaches, treatment responses and patients’ prognosis. The treatment of GCTs primarily comprises a radical inguinal orchiectomy of the affected testis. Subsequent cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy is required in metastatic GCTs. The introduction of cisplatin-based com-bination chemotherapy has led to cure rates of up to 90% even in metastatic disease stages. Teratomas are of particular interest, as they are uniformly cisplatin-resistant and sur-gery is the only successful therapy. The number of patients with recurring disease that finally fail several lines of platinum-based chemotherapy is about 3-5% of all GCT patients and about 15% of patients with primary metastatic disease, but they have an exceptionally poor prognosis with a life-expectancy of only a few months. In this study, we compared cisplatin-resistant and cisplatin-sensitive cell lineages of pluripotent NTERA-2 and NCCIT as well as the nullipotent 2102EP cells (with NCCIT deriving from a TP53 mutated mixed mediastinal GCT) by high-resolution mass spectrometric analy-sis (MS) combined with stable isotope labelling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). The NTERA-2 and NCCIT cell lines represent EC, which can develop in all other types of NSGCT. Both cell lines represent a very well-studied in vitro model for NSGCTs.

Regulation of male germ cell cycle arrest and differentiation by DND1 is modulated by genetic background

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of E14.5 XY germ cells (marked with Oct4-EGFP transgene) from two strain backgrounds (C57BL/6J and 129S1/SvImJ) that differ in their susceptibility to testicular teratomas. Two condition experiment. For each sample, Oct4-EGFP+ germ cells from all XY embyos within a litter were pooled. For the C57BL/6J background, n=3 pooled biological replicates were profiled, and n=2 replicates were obtained and profiled for 129S1/SvImJ.

Transcription profiling of human carcinoma in situs cells from testis compared to fetal gonocytes, oogonia and cultured embryonic stem cells

Project description:Abstract: Testicular cancers in young adult men derive from an inborn precursor lesion, called carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the testis. CIS cells are believed to arise from primordial germ cells or gonocytes that fail to differentiate into the male germ cell lineage, and show a remarkable resemblance to embryonic stem cells (ESC). With this study we aimed at further elucidating the origin of CIS using microarray analysis of genome-wide gene expression. CIS cells only constitute a small fraction of the tissue and therefore, to reduce contaminating RNA from other cell types, we developed a fast (160 sec) staining procedure specific for CIS and fetal germ cells. Highly enriched cell populations were obtained by laser microdissectioning. The expression profiles of CIS cells were compared to microdissected fetal gonocytes, oogonia and cultured ESC with and without genomic amplifications. The cell type most similar to CIS was the gonocytes indicating malignant transformation at this stage. The enriched cell populations allowed us to find unique expression patterns for the developmentally very related cell types. Analyses of the similarities and differences among the cell types may help us understand when and how the malignant transformation to CIS occurs.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of murine tumor-susceptible germ cells

Project description:In response to signals from the embryonic testis, germ cell intrinsic factor NANOS2 coordinates a sex-specific transcriptional program necessary for differentiation of pluripotent-like primordial germ cells toward a unipotent spermatogonial stem cell fate. Emerging evidence indicates that genetic risk factors contribute to testicular germ cell tumor initiation by disrupting sex-specific differentiation. Here, using a mouse model of spontaneous testicular teratomas, we report that a subpopulation of germ cells failing to express NANOS2 is enriched for developmental phenotypes required for tumorigenesis. We demonstrate that only in the absence of NANOS2 do germ cells have a transcriptional profile enriched for Myc signaling and primed pluripotency and transform into embryonal carcinoma cells. We conclude that NANOS2 is the nexus through which many genetic risk factors exert their influence on tumor susceptibility. We propose that NODAL signaling, which is present in the developing testis, drives germ cell transformation in the absence of sex specification.

An RNA-interacting protein network regulates pluripotency in mammalian primordial germ cells (Dazl testis RNA-IP)

Project description:Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the embryonic precursors to egg and sperm. When removed from the embryonic gonad, PGCs can give rise to embryonic germ cell lines (EGs), pluripotent stem cells that display most of the characteristics of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) including the ability to form teratomas and to contribute to chimera formation. In mice, EG cells can be derived between E8.5 up to E12.5 of embryonic development, at which point the PGCs undergo sexual differentiation and in the male transition into unipotent gonocytes. Dazl, a germ cell-specific RNA-binding protein, is specifically expressed in developing PGCs and is required for proper germ cell development. Dazl knockout mice are infertile, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenotype are still unknown. Here we demonstrate that Dazl localizes in granular structures in mammalian PGCs but not in ESCs. We demonstrate Dazl plays a central role in a large mRNA/protein interactive network that includes members of Fragile-X family RNA-binding proteins. We demonstrate that Dazl and Fxr1 play a central role in these granules and directly regulate the translation of specific core pluripotency factors, including Sox2 and Suz12. RNA species interacting specifically with Dazl in juvenile testicular germ cells were identified by RNA-IP microarray analysis. This dataset contains data from native RNA-IPs from P14 Dazl-GFP transgenic mouse testes. Native RNA-IP (anti-V5 and anti-PABP1) experiments from juvenile testicular germ cells expressing Dazl-GFP-V5. Input Total RNA and mock IP with normal mouse IgG were used as controls. Control and IP-enriched RNA samples were analyzed by Agilent Mouse Whole Genome 4X44K one-color microarrays. Two replicates for each condition were done.

Identification of known and novel germ cell cancer specific (embryonic) miRs in serum by high throughput profiling

Project description:Very recently, a number of independent studies showed that serum levels of embryonic micro-RNA (miR) clusters 371-3 and 302abc/367 are predictive for the presence of testicular type II germ cell tumors. These miRs could be used to sensitively detect SE and EC components which are indeed known to express these miRs [1-7]. This study investigates ca 750 miRs in a high throughput approach to validate these previously identified markers and identify novel potential miR markers for testicular type II germ cell tumors. 1.

Dmrt1 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1) knockout expression analyses in E13.5 testes in S6 background

Project description:Dmrt1 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1) is a conserved transcriptional regulator of male differentiation required for testicular development in vertebrates. In mice of the 129Sv strain, loss of Dmrt1 causes a high incidence of teratomas. Mutant 129Sv germ cells undergo apparently normal differentiation up to embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5), but some cells fail to arrest mitosis and ectopically express pluripotency markers. Expression analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation identified DMRT1 target genes whose misexpression may underly teratoma formation.
