Project description:Apart from biochemical signals, tumour cells respond to biophysical and mechanical cues from their environment. The mechanical forces from the tumour microenvironment could be in the form of shear stress, tension, or solid stress compression. In this study, we explore the effects of solid stress compression on tumour cells. Solid stress compression, a prevalent biomechanical stimulus accumulated during tumour growth, has been shown to enhance invasive and metastatic phenotypes in cancer cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanism that elicits this aggressive metastatic phenotype, especially in breast cancer, is not well understood. Using an established 2D in vitro setup to apply incremental solid stress compression, we found that migratory and invasive capacities of aggressive breast cancer cells were enhanced in a biphasic manner. We also found that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and SNAI1 transcripts and proteins were upregulated in response to solid stress. The resultant increased secretion of IL-6 could in turn lead to autocrine activation of downstream signalling pathways and impact on cancer cell migration and invasion.

Project description:The within-tree variation in wood properties constitutes an exceptional model to study the mechanisms that adjust the different biosynthetic pathways providing substrates with the massive and variable demands of different biosynthetic reactions of cell wall polymers. Although a few genes have been reported as differentially expressed in differentiating compression wood compared to normal or opposite wood, the expression of a larger set of genes is expected to change due the broad range of features that distinguish this reaction wood. By combining the construction of different cDNA libraries with microarray analyses, using samples from different Pinus pinaster provenances collected in different years and geographic locations, we have identified a total of 496 genes that change their expression during differentiation of compression wood (331 up-regulated and 165 down-regulated compared to opposite wood). Consistent with the well-known structural and chemical characteristics of compression wood, a large number of genes involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall components were shown to be up-regulated during compression wood differentiation, including genes involved in synthesis of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and lignans. In particular, further analysis of a set of these genes involved in providing S-adenosylmethionine, ammonium recycling, lignin and lignans biosynthesis showed parallel expression profiles to levels of lignin accumulation in cells undergoing xylogenesis in vivo and in vitro. The comparative transcriptomic analysis of compression and opposite wood formation in this work have revealed a broad spectrum of coordinated transcriptional modulation of biosynthetic reactions for different cell wall polymers associated to within-tree variations in softwood structure and composition. In particular, it suggest the occurrence of a mechanism that modulates at transcriptional level genes encoding enzymes involved in S-adenosylmethionine synthesis and ammonium assimilation with coniferyl alcohol demand for lignin and lignan synthesis, as a key metabolic requirement in cells undergoing lignification.

Biological replicates: 4 compression xylem, 4 opposite xylew, harvested from four different individual pine trees. Two replicates per array.

Project description:Interleukin-15 (IL15) enhances the antitumor properties of CAR T cells in preclinical solid tumor models but its effects on CAR T cells in humans are not known. Here, we report the first-in-human evaluation of IL15 co-expression in CAR T cells in two cohorts of a total of 24 patients with glypican-3 (GPC3) expressing solid neoplasms. In cohort 1, GPC3-CAR T cells were safe, no objective antitumor responses were detected. In cohort 2, co-expression of IL15 in GPC3-CAR T cells was associated with increased peak expansion in blood and measurable antitumor responses. Cytokine release syndrome was controlled with immunomodulation or with the inducible caspase 9 safety switch. Single cell transcriptomic analyses identified gene expression of tumor infiltrating CAR T cells associated with antitumor responses.

Project description:Physical constraints like compression influence cancer cell invasion and transcriptional dynamics in various tumors. Liver cancer is characterized by the rapid proliferation of tumor cells within a densely packed tissue matrix, subjecting the cancer cells to crowding and compression. The highly dysregulated mechanical environment highlights the need to elucidate the broader impact of compression on liver cancer development and evolution. In this study, we investigated and described a unique adaptive response of liver cells to prolonged compression. Liver cells presented significant transcriptional changes due to compression, including the loss of liver-specific markers and enrichment of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition genes. Compression elevated Rac1 activity, which promoted cellular protrusions and YAP nuclear translocation and maintained cell viability under mechanical stress. Furthermore, compression disrupted intracellular calcium signaling, leading to resistance to apoptosis. Counteracting the effects of compression by inhibiting Rac1 or manipulating intracellular calcium facilitated death of compression-adapted cells. This study highlights compression as a critical biophysical signal in the tissue microenvironment that can induce cell state transitions and disease-driving phenotypes in the liver.
