Project description:The hypothesis was that the orthotopic xenograft model of ependymoma faithfully recapitulate the genomics signatures of the original tumor patient tissue Original tumor cells were implanted into the same location of SCID mice and check for transcriptome profiles upon subsequent passages to show that the passages preserve the overall genomics signature of the original tumor tissue.

Project description:Preclinical lung cancer models frequently fail to predict clinical outcomes due to their limited ability to replicate the complex tumor microenvironment and metastatic processes seen in patients. In this study, we establish and characterize a clinically relevant orthotopic lung cancer model in mice, offering a substantial advancement over conventional subcutaneous models. Using thoracotomy-based injection of luciferase-expressing lung adenocarcinoma cells, we consistently generate single, well-defined nodules within the lung parenchyma that closely mimic human primary tumors. Longitudinal monitoring with bioluminescence imaging and computed tomography enables accurate spatial and volumetric assessment of tumor progression, with tumor size correlating with the initial cell dose. Comparative analyses demonstrate that orthotopic tumors exhibit enhanced vascularization, proliferation, and reduced hypoxic and stress markers (HIF-1α, γH2AX, p16, p21), alongside elevated Cyclin D1 expression-features reflecting a more physiologically relevant tumor environment. Importantly, orthotopic tumors display an enriched and organized immune infiltration, including enriched CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells and dendritic cells, forming immune niches not present in subcutaneous models. To model metastasis, we isolate and culture circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from orthotopic tumor-bearing mice. Intracardiac injection of these CTCs leads to organ-specific metastases (e.g., liver, brain, bone), recapitulating clinical dissemination patterns. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of metastatic sublines reveals both conserved pro-metastatic programs-including chemokine signaling, EMT, and immune evasion-and niche-specific adaptations, particularly in bone metastases. This orthotopic model offers enhanced translational relevance for evaluating therapies and dissecting metastatic progression in lung cancer.

Project description:Metastasis is a major factor for mortality in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, there is a need for predictive biomarker(s) for detecting the tipping point before metastasis, so as to prevent further deterioration. To discover early warning signals of pulmonary metastasis in HCC, we analysed time-series gene expression data in the spontaneous pulmonary metastasis mouse HCCLM3-RFP model with our novel dynamic network biomarker (DNB) method. To simulate tumour growth and metastasis in patient livers, we used the spontaneous pulmonary metastasis mouse model, HCCLM3-RFP, which involves the orthotopic transplanted human HCCLM3 cell line labelled with a stable fluorescent protein.We observed that, hepatic tumours in orthotopic xenograft HCCLM3-RFP mice grew gradually from the second to the fifth week after orthotopic implantation in the primary liver tissue, whereas spontaneous pulmonary metastasis occurredonly at the last time point (the fifth week after orthotopic implantation).Thus, we chose the second, third, fourth, and fifth weeks after orthotopic implantation as observation points to collect liver tumours of five orthotopic xenograft mice at each time point and to assess the whole-genome expression.

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent the molecular characteristics of tumor sites and travel in the blood for seeding distant metastases. "EpCAM+/pan-cytokeratin (CK)+/CD45-/DAPI+" has been widely accepted as a CTC definition, especially in breast cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. However, reports on CTC detection in non-small cell lung cancer are limited due to a lack of efficient CTC marker. We describe hexokinase 2 (HK2) that assays elevated glycolysis of cancer cells, called Warburg effect, as a new marker for CTC detection in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), especially the CK negative CTCs. Single-cell sequencing was used to confirm the malignancy of putative CTCs by detecting genome-wide copy number alternations characteristic of malignant cells. We employed this marker in a variety of liquid biopsies from LUAD patients, including peripheral blood, pleural effusion and cerebrospinal fluid.

Project description:The enumeration of EpCAM-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has allowed clinicians to estimate the overall metastatic burden in breast cancer patients. However, a thorough understanding of CTCs associated with breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) is necessary for early identification and evaluation of treatment response to BCBM. In this study, we report that BCBM CTCs are enriched in a distinct sub-population of cells identifiable by their biomarker expression and mutational content. Here we report the discovery of a unique “CTC gene signature” that is distinct from primary breast cancer tissues. Further dissection of the CTC signature identified signaling pathways associated with BCBM CTCs that may play roles in potentiating BCBM.
