Preservation and Expansion of Blastomatous Cells in Stem-like Pleuropulmonary Blastoma Patient-derived Xenograft Affords Therapeutic Targets

ABSTRACT: Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare pediatric lung neoplasm that recapitulates developmental pathways of early embryonic lungs. As lung development proceeds with highly regulated mesenchymal-epithelial interactions, a DICER1 mutation in PPB generates a faulty lung differentiation program with resultant biphasic tumors composed of a primitive epithelial and mesenchymal stroma with early progenitor blastomatous cells. Deciphering of PPB progression has been hampered by the difficulty of culturing PPB cells, and specifically progenitor blastomatous cells. Here we show that in contrast with in-vitro culture, establishment of PPB patient-derived xenograft (PDX) in NOD-SCID mice selects for highly proliferating progenitor blastoma overexpressing critical regulators of lung development and multiple imprinted genes. These stem-like tumors were sequentially interrogated by gene profiling to show a FGF module that is activated alongside Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1). Targeting the progenitor blastoma and these transitions with an anti-NCAM1 immunoconjugate (Lorvotuzumab-mertansine) inhibited tumor growth and progression providing new paradigms for PPB therapeutics. Altogether, we successfully establish a novel in-vivo model of PPB and uncover anti-NCAM1 as a potential therapeutic strategy for this aggressive malignancy.

Dissecting stages of human kidney development and Tumorigenesis with surface markers affords simple prospective Purification of nephron stem cells

Project description:When assembling a nephron during development a multipotent stem cell pool becomes restricted as differentiation ensues. A faulty differentiation arrest in this process leads to transformation and initiation of a Wilms' tumor. Mapping these transitions with respective surface markers affords accessibility to specific cell subpopulations. NCAM1 and CD133 have been previously suggested to mark human renal progenitor populations. Herein, using cell sorting, RNA sequencing, in vitro studies with serum-free media and in vivo xenotransplantation we demonstrate a sequential map that links human kidney development and tumorigenesis; In nephrogenesis, NCAM1+CD133- marks SIX2+ multipotent renal stem cells transiting to NCAM1+CD133+ differentiating segment-specific SIX2- epithelial progenitors and NCAM1-CD133+ differentiated nephron cells. In tumorigenesis, NCAM1+CD133- marks SIX2+ blastema that includes the ALDH1+ WT cancer stem/initiating cells, while NCAM1+CD133+ and NCAM1-CD133+ specifying early and late epithelial differentiation, are severely restricted in tumor initiation capacity and tumor self-renewal. Thus, negative selection for CD133 is required for defining NCAM1+ nephron stem cells in normal and malignant nephrogenesis. Human fetal kidney mRNA profiles of 3 cell populations (NCAM1+/CD133-, NCAM+/CD133+, NCAM-/CD133+) were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq.

Defining the activated FABP7 satellite myogenic cells in pleuropulmonary blastoma using single cell sequencing

Project description:Background: Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare lung malignancy in children. Here, we classified PPB subpopulations with Single-cell RNA sequencing. Methods: This study included 10,007 single cells from a girl with PPB. After choosing malignant tumor cells with an inferring copy number variation, we used non-negative matrix factorization and Seurat analysis to cluster the cells and divided the subgroups by their differentially expressed genes and Gene Ontology enrichment analysis. Additionally, pseudotime trajectory analysis of PPB was conducted with Monocle. Results: Tumor cells were divided into muscle (DEShiTNNT1hiTNNI1hi) and cartilage (TWIST1hiHTRA1hiBMP4hi). In cartilage, SOX9hiPAX1hiPAX9hi prechondrocytes, OGNhiMGPhi chondrocytes and DKK2hi chondrocytes were defined. In muscle lineage, PAX7hiMYF5hi satellite myogenic cells and MYOGhiMEF2ChiMYOD1hi myocytes were defined. And a new undefined FABP7hi satellite cells subset was found to function like another known ITM2Ahi satellite cells subset. As the promoters of muscle cell development, both were responsible for establishing membrane protein and proliferating. Conclusions: Our results roughly defined muscle heterogeneity in PPB and found activated and proliferating FABP7 satellite myogenic cells. And these satellite cells might be activated by microRNA regulation induced by the mutation of PPB classic mutation gene DICER1.

Epithelial inactivation of Yy1 abrogates lung branching morphogenesis

Project description:Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a multifunctional zinc-finger-containing transcription factor that plays crucial roles in numerous biological processes by selectively activating or repressing transcription, depending upon promoter contextual differences and specific protein interactions. In mice, Yy1 null mutants die early in gestation while Yy1 hypomorphs die at birth from lung defects. We studied how the epithelial-specific inactivation of Yy1 impacts on lung development. The Yy1 mutation in lung epithelium resulted in neonatal death due to respiratory failure. It impaired tracheal cartilage formation, altered cell differentiation, abrogated lung branching, and caused airway dilation similar to those seen in human congenital cystic lung diseases. The cystic lung phenotype in Yy1 mutants can be explained by the reduced expression of Shh in lung endoderm, a transcriptional target of YY1, and the subsequent derepression of mesenchymal Fgf10 expression. Accordingly, SHH supplementation partially rescued the lung phenotype in vitro. Analysis of human lung tissues revealed decreased YY1 expression in children with pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), a rare pediatric lung tumor arising during fetal development and associated with DICER1 mutations. No evidence for a potential genetic interplay between murine Dicer and Yy1 genes during lung morphogenesis was observed. However, the cystic lung phenotype resulting from the epithelial inactivation of Dicer function mimics the Yy1 lung malformations with similar changes in Shh and Fgf10 expression. Together, our data demonstrate the critical requirement for YY1 in lung morphogenesis and identify Yy1 mutant mice as a potential model for studying the genetic basis of PPB.

Whole-genome methylation study of congenital lung malformations in children

Project description:The treatment of asymptomatic patients with congenital pulmonary malformations (CPMs) remains controversial, partially because the relationship between congenital lung malformations and malignancy is still undefined. Change in methylation pattern is a crucial event in human cancer, including lung cancer. We therefore studied all differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in a series of CPMs in an attempt to find methylation anomalies in genes already described in association with malignancy. The DNA extracted from resected congenital lung malformations and control lung tissue was screened using Illumina MethylationEPIC arrays. Comparison between the group of malformed samples or the malformed samples of same histology or each malformed sample and the controls, and between a pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) and controls were performed. All differentially methylated regions (DMRs) with an adjusted p value < 0,05 were studied. Every comparison highlighted a number of DMRs closed to genes involved either in cell proliferation or in embryonic development or included in the Cancer Gene Census. Their abnormal methylation had been already described in lung tumors. The presence of methylation abnormalities is suggestive of a correlation between congenital lung malformations and some step of malignant transformation.

Biallelic DICER1 mutations in sporadic pleuropulmonary blastoma

Project description:Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an extremely rare pediatric malignancy in the lung, whose pathogenesis is poorly understood, except for recent reports of frequent germline heterozygous DICER1 mutations. To investigate the genetic basis of PPB, we performed whole-exome sequencing in 7 representative PPB cases, followed by targeted deep sequencing in 12 cases with PPB. DICER1 mutations were found in 11/12 cases. Biallelic DICER1 mutations were common in PPB, in which RNase IIIb domain mutations were found in all cases with or without nonsense/frameshift mutations and were somatic in all evaluable cases. A majority of cases had mutated DICER1 alleles in germline with or without an additional somatic mutation in the remaining allele, while other cases had exclusively somatic mutations involving the RNase IIIb domain. TP53 deletions/mutations were detected in 8/12 cases. Our results highlight a unique role of the RNase IIIb domain mutations and TP53 inactivation in PPB pathogenesis.

Transcriptomic analysis of normal and IPF lung fibroblast SSEA4+ and SSEA4- cells

Project description:Recently, SSEA4+ mesenchymal progenitor cells have been described in stromal cultures, where IPF (but not normal) progenitor cells show pathological properties both in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this study is to determine differences between mesenchymal progenitor cells sorted from stromal cultures derived from the lung biopsies of IPF patients showing a slow progressive versus rapid progressive decline of lung function as previously defined (Trujillo, G et al Science trans med 2010). Further, both groups were also compared to their normal lung counterparts as well as SSEA4- mesenchymal progeny.

Interactomes of neural cell adhesion molecule 1 and the metal ion transporter ZIP6 in mouse NMuMG epithelial cells with transforming growth factor beta 1-induced fibroblastoid morphology

Project description:The prion protein (PrP) evolved from the subbranch of ZIP metal ion transporters comprising ZIPs 5, 6 and 10, raising the prospect that the study of these ZIPs may reveal insights relevant for understanding PrP function. PrP and ZIP6 are required for the execution of a cellular program known as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Polysialylation of neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1) during EMT is also controlled by PrP. Here we report the ZIP6 interactome and ZIP6-dependent NCAM1 interactome in a mouse cell EMT model.

Single cell RNAseq of co-cultured mouse iPSC-derived lung mesenchyme and mouse iPSC-derived lung epithelial progenitors in distal and proximal differentiation media

Project description:Co-cultures of lung epithelium and mesenchyme are useful tools to study epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk in lung development and disease. However, many previous attempts to generate such co-cultures have yielded poor juxtaposition between the epithelial and the mesenchymal lineage. In addition, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived co-cultures often contain generic mesenchyme that is not necessarily lung-specific. We sought to establish co-cultures of purified mouse iPSC-derived lung-specific mesenchyme and iPSC-derived lung epithelial progenitors. We used a mouse iPSC line carrying a lung mesenchyme-specific reporter/tracer (Tbx4-LERGFP) to generate lung mesenchymal progenitors by directed differentiation via a lateral plate mesodermal progenitor state (induced lung mesenchyme, iLM). In parallel we differentiated a mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line carrying a Nkx2-1mCherry reporter into lung epithelial progenitor cells using our established directed differentiation protocol. We then combined the purified lung epithelial and mesenchymal progenitor cells and co-cultured them in distal or proximal differentiation media for 1 week on Matrigel. We find that cells self-organize into complex 3-dimensional organoids with closely juxtaposed epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Furthermore, co-culture affects the molecular phenotype of both lineages. Our iPSC-derived co-culture model can provide an inexhaustible source of cells for studying lung development, modeling diseases, and developing therapeutics.
