Gene expression data of QRsP-11 mouse fibrosarcoma cell line and its liver metastatic subline

ABSTRACT: Mouse QRsP-11 fibrosarcoma cells were injected into the spleens of mice to isolate sub-populations of tumor cells that colonize to the liver. Cells from liver metastatic nodules were established in vitro and subsequently injected intrasplenically for further cycles of selection. After 12 cycles of in vivo selection, the cell subline LV12 was established. Intravenous injection of LV12 cells produced liver metastases than QRsP-11 cells, whereas the incidence of lung metastases was similar to that of QRsP-11 cells. LV12 cells exhibited adhesiveness to liver-derived but not to lung-derived endothelial cells. DNA chip analysis indicated that an amphoterin-induced gene and open reading frame 2 (Amigo2) was overexpressed in LV12 cells. Knockdown of Amigo2 expression by siRNA in LV12 cells attenuated liver endothelial cell adhesion. Ex vivo imaging showed that siRNA-mediated suppression of Amigo2 in luciferase-expressing LV12 cells reduced attachment to liver tissue to the same level as that observed with QRsP-11 cells. Moreover, Amigo2-knockdown by siRNA inhibited liver metastasis. Amigo2 expression in human cancer cells was higher in liver metastatic lesions than in primary lesions of colon and gastric cancer specimens. These data indicated that Amigo2 is involved in tumor cell adhesion to liver endothelial cells and formation of liver metastases.

Project description:Using a multiorgan metastasis model of human NSCLC cells (ACC-LC319/bone2) in NK cell-depleted SCID mice, we attempted to identify genes involved in the organ-selective nature of lung cancer-metastasis process, especially bone metastasis. Genome-wide gene expression profile of 15 metastatic lesions from three organs (bone, lung and liver) in this mouse model revealed lot of genes that seemed to reflect the organ specificity of metastatic cells. Among bone-specifically-expressed genes, dozen of genes involved in cell adhesion, cytoskeleton/cell motility, extracellular matrix remodeling, and cell-cell signaling. The upregulation of 11 genes, some of them were either previously reported to be involved in metastatic characteristics, were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. The high ability for bone metastasis human lung adenocarcinoma cell line ACC-LC319/bone2 was established in our laboratory from the parental cell line ACC-LC319 (a kind gift from Dr T. Takahashi, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan). ACC-LC319 cells with low capacity of bone metastatic ability were selected in vivo for two cycles in bone metastasis mouse models. After two cycles of selection, the derivative cell line designated as ACC-LC319/bone2 showed increased bone metastatic ability compared to parental cell line (Otsuka S., Oncol Res 2009). In this multiorgan metastasis model, SCID mice were depleted NK cells, and two days later, these mice were intravenously injected 1x10^6 cells. The mice were followed up for clinical symptoms and signs of metastases, and were sacrificed on day 34 after tumor inoculation. Metastastic tissues in lung, liver and bone were collected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen then keep at -80C until cryosection. Laser microbeam microdissection was used to capture pure population of cancer cells in each organ as well as mouse normal tissues in corresponding organ (i.e. the surrounding normal tissues with no microscopic metastasis). Totally, there were 19 samples, including one sample for metastases in each organ (bone, lung and liver) in five mice (i.e., 15 samples); one for each normal mouse tissue (i.e.,three samples); and one for the in vitro cell line (ACC-LC319/bone 2). DNA microarray were performed using Agilent platform, and the gene expression profile of metastases in bone were compared with the gene expression profile of metastases in other two organs (lung, liver). Those genes whose expression in mouse normal tissues was above the cut off value were excluded. The expression of genes in the in vitro cells was used as the universal normalization for the in vivo genes expression.
