Project description:We investigate the single-cell landscape of the inflammatory mouse tumor model MC38, a C57BL/6 tumor cell line derived from colon adenocarcinoma. MC38 (diluted in HBSS and matrigel) was inoculated in the right unilateral flank (in the border of positions B2 and B3) of C57BL/6 mice (ref Study 16-3384 AV). Draining lymph nodes were taken one day after group-out (average 150-250 mm3 tumor size at day 0), approximately 14-19 days. Draining lymph nodes were dissociated and flow sorted accordingly to obtain the cells for 10x Chromium 5' Gene Expression Profiling and TCR sequencing.

Project description:We reported transcriptional characterization of tumor-infiltrating T regulatory cells (TITRs) that is shared between species and among different tumor types and stages. We genomically profiled immunocytes from 2 species: 1. Mouse: CD4+ Treg and Tconv, and CD8+ T cells from tumor and spleen of B16, MC38 or CT26 tumor bearing mice, as well as from spleens of non-tumor bearing mice. 2. Human: CD4+ Treg cells from surgically resected and cryopreserved human colorectal carcinomas or normal colon tissue.

MC38 (diluted in HBSS and matrigel) was inoculated in the right unilateral flank (in the border of positions B2 and B3) of C57BL/6 mice (ref Study 16-3384 AV). Tumors were taken one day after group-out (average 150-250 mm3 at day 0), approximately 14-19 days. Tissues were dissociated and flow sorted accordingly to obtain the following groups for 10x Chromium 5' Gene Expression Profiling. Our results indicate that the degree of clonal expansion is correlated with expression of T cell exhaustion markers, and that T cells with strong exhaustion phenotype also express high levels of activation markers, such as interferon gamma.

Project description:We designed a novel intratumoral (IT) IL-12 mRNA therapy to promote local IL-12 tumor production whilst mitigating systemic effects. A single IT dose of mouse (m)IL-12 mRNA induced IFNγ and CD8+ T cell-dependent tumor regression in multiple syngeneic mouse models including MC38-R, and animals with a complete response demonstrated immunity to re-challenge. In order to further investigate the impact of mIL-12 mRNA on the MC38-R TME, we performed tumor transcriptomic evaluation 24h and 7 days after a single IT dose of 0.5 micrograms IL-12 or control mRNA. mRNA was isolated from snap-frozen syngeneic tumors using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and quantified on the Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 microarray.
Project description:To investigate the effect of different tumor-associated glycans, mouse colorectal cancer cells (MC38 cell line) were genetically modified using CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-dCas-VPR technology targeting different genes involved in glycosylation pathways. To study the effect of altered glycosylation at the transcriptional level, next generation sequencing was performed on the entire panel of glycovariant MC38 cell lines. The MC38 knockout cell lines created with the CRISPR-Cas9 technology are: MC38-MOCK#1, MC38-CMAS KO, MC38-COSMC KO, MC38-CMAS+COSMC KO. The MC38 overexpressing cell lines generated with the CRISPR-dCas9-VPR technology are: MC38-MOCK#2, MC38-FUT4, MC38-FUT9. Details on the cell lines can be found in the corresponding manuscript(s).
Project description:We designed a study to investiagate chemo-immunotheraputic effect using a mouse model of colon cancer. To investigate the anti-tumor effect of the combination therapy, the in vivo antitumor activities of different mono- and combinational therapy were subsequently evaluated using a C57BL/6J mouse model bearing MC38 tumors. Subcutaneous injection of 1×106 of MC38 cells in the right flank of a mouse was performed 9 days before therapy. The Ru-PD-L1 was administrated by intraperitoneal injection, while the DPD or DOX was given by peritumoral injection. For combinational treatment, each mouse was treated with 14 µg DPD or DOX (0.56 mg/kg) 6 hours after administering 20 ug Ru-PD-L1 (0.80mg/kg). For monotherapy, each mouse was treated with Ru-PD-L1, DPD, or DOX alone. On the 20th day, the mice were sacrificed for tumor collection. The results highlighted that the combination of ACC and DOX prodrug synergistically enhanced immune response and higher antitumor activity compared to the ACC and DOX combination.
