Gene expression profiling of three human prostate epithelial subpopulations

ABSTRACT: The human prostate epithelium is predominantly comprised of two cell-types: basal and luminal. While basal cells exhibit significant progenitor activity in a variety of functional assays, luminal cells are depleted of this activity. Recent studies indicate that approximately 1% of luminal cells exhibit progenitor activity. We have discovered that differential expression of the glycoprotein CD38 can fractionate the luminal population into two subsets: CD38+ and CD38-low. In functional assays, the CD38-low luminal cells exhibit roughly 5-fold increased progenitor activity compared to the remaining CD38+ population. Therefore, we propose that CD38-low luminal cells represent an enriched luminal progenitor population while the CD38+ subset is predominantly comprised of mature non-progenitor luminal cells. In this microarray experiment, we have performed expression profiling of three epithelial subsets (basal, CD38-low luminal progenitor, and CD38+ mature luminal) purified by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting from the benign prostate of four different patients.

Defining the cellular precursors to human breast cancer

Project description:Human breast cancers are broadly classified based on their gene expression profiles into luminal- and basal-type tumors. These two major tumor subtypes express markers corresponding to the major differentiation states of epithelial cells in the breast, luminal (EpCAM+) and basal/myoepithelial (ME, CD10+). However, there are also rare types of breast cancers, such as metaplastic carcinomas, where tumor cells exhibit features of alternate cell types that no longer resemble breast epithelium. Until now, it has been difficult to identify the cell type(s) in the human breast that gives rise to these various forms of breast cancer. Here we report that transformation of EpCAM+ epithelial cells results in the formation of common forms of human breast cancer including ER+ and ER- tumors with luminal and basal-like characteristics, respectively, while transformation of CD10+ cells results in the development of rare metaplastic tumors reminiscent of the claudin-low subtype. We also demonstrate the existence of CD10+ breast cells with metaplastic traits that can give rise to skin and epidermal tissues. Furthermore, we show that the development of metaplastic breast cancer is due in part, to the transformation of these metaplastic breast epithelial cells. These findings identify normal cellular precursors to human breast cancers and reveal the existence of a population of cells with epidermal progenitor activity within adult human breast tissues. 8 breast cell line samples

Gene expression profiling of basal and luminal epithelial cells from young adult and old mouse prostates

Project description:We set out to determine if prostate epithelial cell-types exhibited age-related differences in their gene expression profiles. We used fluorescence activated cell sorting to isolate basal and luminal cells from dissociated preparations of prostate tissue taken from young adult (3 months) and old (24 months of age) mice. RNA was extracted from sorted cells to evaluate differences in gene expression. We found significant enrichment for progenitor genes in old luminal cells including an immune/inflammatory profile that overlapped with a previously identified CD38-lo human prostate luminal progenitor signature. This study demonstrates a luminal progenitor signature in old mouse prostate.

Characterization of Cell Lines Derived from Breast Cancers and Normal Mammary Tissues for the Study of the Intrinsic Molecular Subtypes

Project description:Five molecular subtypes (Luminal A/B, HER2-enriched, Basal-like, and Claudin-low) with clinical implications have been identified. In this report, we evaluated molecular and phenotypic relationships of a large in vitro panel of human breast cancer cell lines (BCCLs), human mammary fibroblasts (HMFs) and human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) with (1) breast tumors, (2) normal breast cell-enriched subpopulations and (3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). First, by integrating genomic data of 337 breast samples with 93 cell lines we were able to identify all the intrinsic tumor subtypes in vitro, except for the Luminal A. Secondly, we observed that cell lines recapitulate the differentiation hierarchy observed in the mammary gland, with Claudin-low BCCLs and HMFs cells showing a stromal phenotype, HMECs showing a mammary stem cell/bipotent progenitor phenotype, Basal-like cells showing a luminal progenitor phenotype, and Luminal B cells showing a luminal phenotype. Thirdly, we identified Basal-like and highly migratory Claudin-low subpopulations of cells within a subset of triple-negative BCCLs (SUM149PT, HCC1143 and HCC38). Interestingly, both subpopulations within SUM149PT where found to have Tumor Initiating Cell (TIC) features, but the Basal-like subpopulation grew faster than the Claudin-low subpopulation. Finally, Claudin-low BCCLs were found to resemble the phenotype of hMSCs, whereas hESCs cells were found to have an epithelial phenotype without basal and luminal differentiation. The results presented here should help improve our understanding of the cell line model system through the appropriate pairing of cell lines with relevant in vivo tumor and normal cell counterparts. reference x sample

3D genome organization coordinates key regulators of lineage specification in mammary epithelial cells [T8_Omni-C]

Project description:In order to understand gene regulation of epithelial cells in the mouse mammary gland, we have generated a comprehensive epigenetic atlas from freshly sorted myoepithelial (basal), luminal progenitor (LP) and mature luminal (ML) from adult mice (9 week-old) encompassing gene expression profiling, histone and polymerase II CUT&Tag sequencing, chromatin accessibility via ATAC-seq and chromatin interactions. We further studied the basal compartment by sorting to additional cell type population: Tspan8+ (quiescent basal, QBa) and Tspan8- (active basal, ABa) cells.
