Project description:Extracellular matrix remodelling of cardiac tissue is a key contributor to age-related cardiovascular disease and dysfunction. Such remodelling is multifaceted including changes to the biochemical composition, architecture and mechanics, clouding our understanding of how and which extracellular matrix properties contribute to a dysfunctional state. Here we describe a decellularized extracellular matrix-synthetic hydrogel hybrid scaffold that independently confers two distinct matrix properties-ligand presentation and stiffness-to cultured cells in vitro, allowing for the identification of their specific roles in cardiac ageing. The hybrid scaffold maintains native matrix composition and organization of young or aged murine cardiac tissue, whereas its mechanical properties can be independently tuned to mimic young or aged tissue stiffness. Seeding these scaffolds with murine primary cardiac fibroblasts, we identify distinct age- and matrix-dependent mechanisms of cardiac fibroblast activation, matrix remodelling and senescence. Importantly, we show that the ligand presentation of a young extracellular matrix can outweigh the profibrotic stiffness cues typically present in an aged extracellular matrix in maintaining or driving cardiac fibroblast quiescence. Ultimately, these tunable scaffolds can enable the discovery of specific extracellular targets to prevent ageing dysfunction and promote rejuvenation.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM)-regulated phenotypic plasticity is crucial for metastatic progression of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). To investigate the effect of matrix cues on phenotypic plasticity, we embedded triple negative DU4475 cells from suspension culture into mechanically tunable fibrin gels or basement membrane extract (Matrigel). Cells in suspension culture and matrix cultures showed divergent gene expression profiles, with specific gene expression signatures depending on the biochemical composition and stiffness of the matrix.

Project description:An ill-defined laminin-rich three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) is typically used for the generation of organoids, but little is known about its function. Here, using tunable and chemically defined 3D hydrogels, we systematically explored the role of the ECM during murine intestinal organoid development. Our results highlight the utility of chemically defined matrices for studying ECM biology in tissue engineering and pave the way for the replacement of animal-derived matrices in organoid culture.

Project description:Adipose stromal cells (ASCs) are the primary source of local estrogens in adipose tissue, aberrant production of which promotes estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Here we show that extracellular matrix (ECM) rigidity and cell contractility are two opposing determinants for estrogen output of ASCs. Using synthetic ECMs and elastomeric micropost arrays with tunable rigidity, we find that increasing matrix compliance induces transcription of aromatase, a rate-limiting enzyme in estrogen biosynthesis. This mechanical cue is transduced sequentially by Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1), and phosphorylated JunB, which binds to and activates two breast cancer-associated aromatase promoters. In contrast, elevated cell contractility due to actin stress fiber formation dampens aromatase transcription. Mechanically stimulated stromal estrogen production enhances estrogen-dependent transcription in ER+ tumor cells and promotes their growth. This novel mechanotransduction pathway underlies communications between ECM, stromal hormone output, and cancer cell growth within the same microenvironment. Total RNA was isolated from primary adipose stromal cells after 2d culture or 3d Collagen gel for 21 hours. Triplicates for each conditioned were analyzed

Project description:This dataset is part of a study that aims to compare in vivo human trophoblast differentiation into EVTs to different in vitro trophoblast organoids using single-cell and single-nuclei RNA sequencing. This specific dataset includes scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq data from trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Trophoblast stem cell (TSC) lines BTS5 and BTS11 derived by Okae and colleagues were grown as described previously (Okae et al. 2018) together with EVT differentiation media. This study shows that the main regulatory programs mediating EVT invasion in vivo are preserved in in vitro models of EVT differentiation from primary trophoblast organoids and trophoblast stem cells. Data for primary trophoblast organoids is available under E-MTAB-12650.

Project description:Abstract Objective: To investigate the physiology of ectopic pregnancy by analyzing the miRNA profiles of the pregnancy tissue from both ectopic and control pregnancies (voluntary termination of pregnancy). Design: Research study. Setting: Academic research institute in collaboration with a university hospital. Patients: Patients suffering from tubal EP and patients with a normal ongoing pregnancy scheduled for a voluntary termination of pregnancy (VTOP) were recruited. Interventions: Pregnancy tissue samples were analyzed by miRNA microarray and further validated by qPCR. Main Outcome measures: Gene expression profiles and quantitative PCR measurements. Results: Four miRNAs were found to be downregulated in EP compared to healthy trophoblast tissue, and three miRNAs were upregulated in EP trophoblast compared to control tissue samples. All genes were validated by q-PCR. We found three statistically significant miRNAs, all of which were upregulated in the EP sample group. Conclusion: We describe the alteration of seven miRNAs in EP samples that could alter pathways which are critical for correct implantation such as extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, or mucin biosynthesis, thus resulting in ectopic pregnancies.

Project description:In this study, we investigate how matrix stiffness regulates chromatin reorganization and cell reprogramming, and find that matrix stiffness acts as a biphasic regulator of epigenetic state and fibroblast-to-neuron conversion efficiency, maximized at an intermediate stiffness of 20 kPa. ATAC-sequencing analysis shows the same trend of chromatin accessibility to neuronal genes at these stiffness levels. Concurrently, we observe peak levels of histone acetylation and histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity in the nucleus on matrices at 20 kPa, and inhibiting HAT activity abolishes matrix stiffness effects. G-actin and cofilin, the co-transporters shuttling HAT into the nucleus, rises with decreasing matrix stiffness; however, reduced importin-9 on soft matrices limits nuclear transport. These two factors result in a biphasic regulation of HAT transport into the nucleus, which is directly demonstrated on matrices with dynamically tunable stiffness. These findings unravel a mechanism of the mechano-epigenetic regulation that is valuable for cell engineering in disease modeling and regenerative medicine applications.

Eight patients suffering from tubal EP and another eight patients with a normal ongoing pregnancy scheduled for a VTOP were recruited.
