View SamplesTumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in cancer progression; however, little is known regarding how differences in the microenvironment affect characteristics of cancer cells. Here, we investigated the effects of tumor microenvironment on cancer cells by using mouse tumor models. After 3 cycles of inoculation and extraction of human pancreatic cancer cells, including SUIT-2 and Panc-1 cells, from tumors, distinct cancer cell lines were established; 3P cells from the pancreas obtained using the orthotopic tumor model, and 3sc cells from subcutaneous tissue obtained using the subcutaneous tumor model. On cell re-inoculation of these cells, the 3sc cells and, more prominently, the 3P cells, exhibited higher tumorigenic activity than the parental cells. The 3P cells specifically exhibited low E-cadherin expression and high invasiveness, suggesting that they were endowed with the highest malignant characteristics. RNA-sequence analysis demonstrated that distinct signaling pathways were activated in each cell line and that the 3P cells acquired a cancer stem cell-like phenotype. Among cancer stem cell-related genes, those specifically expressed in the 3P cells, including NES, may be potential new targets for cancer therapy. The mechanisms underlying the development of highly malignant cancer cell lines were investigated. Individual clones within the parental cells varied in tumor-forming ability, indicating the presence of cellular heterogeneity. Moreover, the gene expression profile of each clone changed after orthotopic inoculation. The present study thus suggests that both selection and education processes are involved in the development of highly malignant cancer cells. Overall design: Expression of mRNA in the highly malignant sublines of SUIT-2 and Panc-1 cells xenografted into mice.

View SamplesBecause of the extensive data in mice supporting the concept that ST2+ Tregs might have desirable therapeutic properties, including tissue repair function, high suppressive capacity, and enhanced stability, we engineered human blood Tregs to constitutively express ST2 (IL-33R). Here we used RNA sequencing to explore the effects of short-term culture with IL-33 on human ST2-transduced Tregs. Overall design: Human naive Tregs flow-sorted from 4 independent donors were lentivirally transduced with ST2, expanded for 13 days, then stimulated with IL-2 and TCR (16 h) or IL-2, TCR, and IL-33 (16 h).

View SamplesDiffuse-type gastric carcinoma is a poor-prognostic cancer with high expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)- and thick stromal fibrosis. However, detailed investigations on the roles of TGF- signaling in diffuse-type gastric carcinoma have not been performed. We generated two diffuse-type gastric carcinoma cell lines, dominant-negative TGF- type II receptor expressing cells (2MLN-dnTRII) and GFP-expressing cells (2MLN-GFP). Cells were subcutaneously or orthotopically injected into nude mice. Although dnTRII did not affect the growth of OCUM-2MLN in vitro, it accelerated the growth of subcutaneously or orthotopically transplanted tumors in vivo. By microarray analysis, we found gene expression of TSP-1, an angiogenic inhibitor, was down-regulated in dnTRII tumors. This results suggested disruption of TGF- signaling in diffuse-type gastric carcinoma cells leads to alteration of tumor microenvironment and acceleration of tumor growth.
