Project description:The study aim was to determine whether the microenvironmental acidosis in solid tumors contributes to cancer aggressiveness via changes in gene expression. RNA seq was carried out in parallel to a large array of phenotypical analyses of proliferation, growth, and invasiveness.
Project description:[1] Lactic acidosis time course: MCF7 cells were exposed to lactic acidosis for different length of time. We used microarrays to examine the genomic programs of cells incubated under lactic acidosis for different length of time [2] Metabolic profiling: MCF7 cells were exposed to control condition, 25mM lactic acidosis, glucose deprivation (zero glucose) and hypoxia (1% oxygen level). [3] Mouse study: Lactic acidosis triggers starvation response with paradoxical induction of TXNIP through MondoA. Wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and TXNIP-null MEFs were exposed to Ctrl versus lactic acidosis conditions for 24hrs and the RNAs from cells were extracted with MiRVana kit (Ambion) and applied to Affymetrix 430A mouse chips We used microarrays to examine the genomic programs of cells incubated under different microenvironmental stresses. [1] Lactic acidosis time course: MCF7 cells were exposed to lactic acidosis for 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours. [2] Metabolic profiling: MCF7 cells were exposed to lactic acidosis, glucose deprivation and hypoxia for 4hours. [3] wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and TXNIP-null MEFs were exposed to Ctrl versus lactic acidosis conditions for 24hrs.
Project description:Human Mammalian Epithelial Cells (HMEC) were exposed to different environmental stresses, including hypoxia, lactic acidosis, the combination of hypoxia and lactic acidosis, lactosis , as well as acidosis. We used microarrays to examine the genomic programs of cells incubated under different microenvironments. Experiment Overall Design: HMEC cells were exposed to different environmental stresses and RNAs were extracted and put on Affymetrix microarrays. We gathered RNAs from cells grown in regular media (control), lactic acidosis, hypoxia, the combinatino of lactic acidosis and hypoxia, lactosis, as well as acidosis.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to define the impact of extracellular acidosis on transcriptional regulation in intestinal epithelial cells. We identify a significant induction of CREB target genes and upregulation of several genes associated with MAPK signaling. This work provides a frame work for the identification of acidosis signaling pathway in intestinal epithelial cells
Project description:Acidosis is a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment caused by the metabolic switch from glucose oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. It has been largely associated with tumor growth and progression, nevertheless, how acidosis promotes metastatic dissemination remains largely unknown. In this study, we established a long-term acidosis model using patient-derived lung cancer cells. By comparing xenograft inoculates at the cluster sizes of lung cancer circulating tumor cells, the acidosis cells display significantly higher incidence of secondary tumor establishment than their neutral pH counterparts. Transcriptomics analyses reveal a profound remodeling of the extracellular matrix in the acidosis cells, featuring the upregulation of ITGA4 and HAS3 genes, In clinical specimen, overexpression of both ITGA4 and HAS3 proteins are associated with primary tumors with metastatic ability, and their distribution is markedly accentuated around vascular mimicry structures in secondary tumors. We show that acidosis cells display higher ability of vascular mimicry in vitro, and are enriched in ABC transporter-dependent side population cells. Our data support that acidosis drives tumor metastatic colonization via enhanced extracellular matrix remodeling and vascular mimicry. Assessment on the prognostic value of tumor acidosis for metastasis and possible treatment directions are discussed.
