Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains one of the most common complication of prematurity, despite significant improvements in perinatal care. Functional modeling of human lung development and disease, like BPD, is limited by our ability to access the lung and to maintain relevant stem cell populations in culture. Single cell RNA-sequencing confirmed the presence of epithelial cells in tracheal aspirates obtained from intubated neonates. Using combined SMAD signaling inhibition and mTOR inhibition neonatal tracheal-aspirate derived (nTAD) basal stem cells can be expanded long-term and retain the ability to differentiate into pseudo-stratified airway epithelium. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that neonatal tracheal aspirate-derived epithelial cells can provide a novel ex vivo human cellular model to study neonatal lung development and disease.

Project description:To obtain insight into the molecular basis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and its progression by infiltrating surrounding tissue, we have performed cellular-based gene expression analysis of pure DCIS and DCIS with co-existing invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and compared the histological and molecular aspects between these morphologically identical lesions seeking to find key genes involved in DCIS progression. For that, 30 samples were evaluated, 4 non-neoplastic (N), 5 pure DCIS, 11 DCIS with co-existing IDC (DCIS-IDC) and 10 IDC. All samples were laser capture microdissected and RNAs were amplified using T7-based methodology. Microarray technology was performed using a customized cDNA platform containing 4,608 human genes. To classify the 4 sample groups according to molecular similarity we performed comparisons of their general expression pattern using ANOVA test (pFDR<0,01) followed by Tukey´s test (fold>l2l). Among the 4 sample groups, as expected, non-neoplastic cells reported the most distinct gene expression pattern. However, among the 3 groups of neoplastic cells, in contrast to morphological aspects, pure DCIS had the most distinct expression profile when compared to the other lesions: DCIS-IDC and IDC. Additionally, by comparison among pure DCIS, DCIS-IDC and N, we identified 147 genes potentially involved in DCIS progression. Unsupervised hierarchical cluster based on expression profile of this gene-set could discriminate DCIS-IDC from 60% of pure DCIS samples. Keywords: disease state analysis Fresh-frozen human breast samples were retrieved from the Tumor Tissue Biobank of the Medical and Research Center - Hospital A. C. Camargo, São Paulo. This research was approved by Ethic Committee of the Medical and Research Center - Hospital A. C. Camargo under number 587/04 and a written informed consent signed by all participants. All patients had presented at least 5 years of follow-up. Thirty samples were evaluated, 4 non-neoplastic breast samples (MN), 5 pure DCIS (stage 0; DCIS-0), 11 DCIS with co-existing IDC (DCIS) and 10 IDC. The non-neoplastic samples were obtained from perilesional mammary specimens from patients submitted to resection of benign lesions. All cells types were laser capture microdissected using PixCell II LCM system (Arcturus Engineering, Mountain View, CA). The total RNA was extracted by using the PicoPureä RNA Isolation kit (Arcturus Engineering # KT0204). A two-round linear amplification procedure based on T7-driven amplification was carried out. Amplified RNA was then used in a transcriptase reverse reaction into cDNA in the presence of Cy3- or Cy5-labeled dCTP. HB4a normal luminal epithelial mammary cell line (O’Hare et al 1991) was amplified following the same protocol and used as reference for microarray hybridizations. Dye swap was performed for each sample analyzed and used as replicate samples. For the raw_data (lowess_data), see Web Link below.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that normal and HPV immortalized keratinocytes are sensitive to TNF anti-proliferative effect. Conversely, HPV18-immortalized keratinocytes are resistant to the cytostatic effect mediated by this cytokine. In this study we have compared gene expression patterns in primary cultures of human foreskin epidermal keratinocytes (PHK or NHFK) and HPV16 (HF698) and HPV18(HF18Nco)-immortalized cell lines, and profile the transcriptional changes 3 and 60 hours after TNF treatment. Keywords: global expression profile, microarray, HPV, TNF In order to determine the effects of HPV infection and TNF treatment on global gene expression, were performed 2 independent experiment for each cell line, including the two periods of treatment with TNF. Furthermore, were performed 2 experiments for each control plate containing the non-treated cells.

Project description:Cutaneous melanomas are malignant radio and chemoresistant neoplasias presenting high morbidity and elevated mortality rates. Isolated Limb Perfusion (ILP) with Melphalan (Mel) is used in the treatment of non-resectable locally advanced melanomas of extremity sparing the limb from amputation in 40-50% of the cases. Adding the Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (Tnfa) improves total complete response to 70-90%. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the changes promoted by Mel and Tnfa are not completely understood. In this study we evaluated the impact of systemic Mel and Tnfa administration on tumor growth, analyzed the morphological changes promoted by each treatment, and searched for early molecular targets of Mel and Tnfa, alone or in combination, in a murine melanoma model. Morphological changes were analyzed by histological analysis, while microarray gene expression followed by quantitative RT-PCR were used to search for early molecular targets. We found that Mel systemic administration accounted for the impairment of tumor-growth (p<0.001) and improvement of survival. Tnfa co-administration augmented necrosis (p<0.024) and decreased mitotic rates (p=0.001). We identified a set of 118 potential molecular markers that might be correlated with the observed biologic response to treatment with Melphalan and Tnfa and which could represent potential therapeutic targets in melanoma. We used amplified RNA (aRNA) from 18 tumor samples (Control – 5 samples; Mel – 4 samples; Tnfa – 4 samples; and Mel+Tnfa – 5 samples). For replica hybridization with dye swap, aRNA from the tumors and from a pool composed of equal amounts of RNA extracted from the K1735M2, M2R, B16F10, and B16F1 melanoma cells were labeled with Alexa555 or Alexa647. Labeled aRNA samples were hybridized against a glass platform containing 16,128 immobilized sense oligonucleotides (Fox Chase Cancer Center, USA) corresponding to murine genes. Slides were pre-hybridized at 42ºC for approximately 6 hours in a solution containing Denhardt’s 5X (Ficoll 400 0.05g/mL, poli-vynil-pyrrolidone 0.05g/mL, bovine serum albumin 0.05g/mL), SSC (sodium saline citrate) 5X, 0.2% SDS (Sigma), and 1% BSA. For hybridization, we used a mix of 3.5µg of each labeled sample aRNA and reference aRNA. The hybridization solution contained Denhardt’s 5X, formamide 25% (Sigma), SSC 5X, SDS 0.1%, salmon sperm DNA 0.1mg/mL (GE Healthcare), Poly-A 0.1mg/mL (GE Healthcare), and Cot-1 0.1mg/mL (GE Healthcare), to a final volume of 100µL. Hybridizations were carried out on a Gene Tac hybridization station (Genomic Solutions) at 42ºC for about 16h. The slides were removed from the hybridization cassettes directly to a recipient containing a washing solution (SSC 2X, SDS 0.1%) at 42ºC, put in a slide rack, transferred to another recipient containing fresh solution, and washed under constant agitation at 42ºC for 5 min. After that, they were washed twice for 5min in a second wash solution (SSC 0.1X, SDS 0.1%) at room temperature and rinsed five times for 1min at room temperature with a SSC 0.1X solution. The slides were dried upside down in a centrifuge at 1500rpm for 5min. The slides were scanned with a confocal laser scanner (ScanArrayTM Express, Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, USA), and the spot intensities processed with the help of the ScanArray Express program (Packard BioScience), with a 10µm resolution and a PMT of 60% for Alexa 555 and of 70% for Alexa 647. Each slide generated a data set for each channel corresponding to the dyes Alexa 555 and Alexa 647. The slides were scanned with a confocal laser scanner (ScanArrayTM Express, Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, USA) with a 10µm resolution and a PMT of 60% for Alexa 555 and of 70% for Alexa 647, and data were extracted with ScanArray Express software (Packard BioScience) using the histogram method. Each slide generated a data set for each channel corresponding to the dyes Alexa 555 and Alexa 647. The Locally Weighted Scatter-plot Smoothing method (LOWESS), adjusted for linear and non-linear systematic variations, both of the intensity dependent type, mainly for low intensity spots, was employed for data normalization.

Project description:Nf-kB activity is associated with the key pathological features of chronic respiratory diseases including epithelial remodelling, excess mucous production, and submucosal gland hyperplasia. However, the role of Nf-kB activity in airway epithelial differentiation remains controversial. In the present study we demonstrate that Nf-kB adaptor protein Myd88 deficiency promotes increased airway submucosal gland abundance and abnormal epithelial differentiation in proximal adult airways. Abnormal airway differentiation was not developmentally determined, became exacerbated following acute lung injury, and did not involve altered epithelial proliferation or apoptosis. Instead, we demonstrate that tracheal Myd88 deficiency promotes upregulation of a unique gene expression profile that includes activation of alternate, Myd88-independent Nf-kB signalling. Finally, we show that these effects are not intrinsically maintained in vitro using an air-liquid interface epithelial culture. This finding indicates that Myd88 deficiency promotes adult airway remodelling by regulating non-epithelial, non-cell autonomous Nf-kB activity. 20 microarray samples of whole trachea RNA in total: 5 samples wildtype control tissue 5 samples Myd88 KO control tissue 5 samples wildtype 3 day polidocanol injury tissue 5 samples Myd88 KO 3 day polidocanol injury tissue

Project description:Muscle secretes factors during exercise that enhance cognition. Myokine Cathepsin B (Ctsb) is linked to memory, but its role in neurodegeneration is unclear. Here we show that AAV-vector-mediated Ctsb overexpression in skeletal muscle, in an Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) mouse model (APP/PS1), improved motor coordination, memory and adult hippocampal neurogenesis, while plaque density was unchanged. Conversely, in wildtype (WT) mice Ctsb impaired memory. To understand underlying mechanisms, hippocampus, muscle and plasma proteomic analyses were performed. In AD mice, Ctsb treatment increased abundance of hippocampal proteins involved in mRNA metabolism and protein synthesis. In muscle, Ctsb treatment increased protein translation in AD mice, whereas in WT mitochondrial proteins decreased. Additionally, in AD mice Ctsb enhanced plasma metabolic and mitochondrial processes, and reduced inflammatory responses. The differing protein abundance profiles in the AD and WT treatment groups correspond to effects on memory function. Overall, skeletal muscle Ctsb expression is a potential AD therapeutic.

Project description:Aging studies using animal and cellular models have uncovered key proteins and pathways central to organismal aging. However, these models differ genetically and physiologically from human aging, posing challenges in translating discoveries to human contexts. In this study, we present a human normal cell aging model based on the development of cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) to syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) in the placenta. The in vitro-derived STBs from human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) recapitulate the maturation and major cellular aging features of in vivo CTB-STB, including multinucleation, hormone secretion, cell cycle arrest, genome instability, epigenetic changes, activation of endogenous transposable elements, and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs). Notably, the progressive senescence in the trophoblast system closely matches the predicted aging trajectory of other human tissue stem cells. Known anti-aging molecules, such as mTOR inhibitors and senolytics, attenuate senescence signals in STBs. The established CGA-EGFP reporter hTSC line enables scalable and quantitative screening and identified candidates with it can be further extended to other context-specific aging processes like that of skin fibroblasts. The hTSC-STB system represents a novel physiologically accelerated cellular aging model, bridges the gap between fundamental aging research and interventions, and prioritizes anti-aging candidates for clinical development.
