Pulmonary metastasis continues to be the most common cause of death in osteosarcoma. Indeed, the 5-year survival for newly diagnosed osteosarcoma patients has not significantly changed in over 20 years. Further understanding of the mechanisms of metastasis and resistance for this aggressive pediatric cancer is necessary. Pet dogs naturally develop osteosarcoma providing a novel opportunity to model metastasis development and progression. Given the accelerated biology of canine osteosarcoma, we hypothesized that a direct comparison of canine and pediatric osteosarcoma expression profiles may help identify novel metastasis-associated tumor targets that have been missed through the study of the human cancer alone. Collectively, these data support the strong similarities between human and canine osteosarcoma and underline the opportunities provided by a comparative oncology approach as a means to improve our understanding of cancer biology and therapy.

VEGF blockade enhances the antitumor effect of BRAFV600E inhibition.
Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesIn this work we investigated the combined effects of the BRAF inhibition and of the VEGF blockade in a preclinical model of melanoma. The purpose of this dataset was to examine the transcriptional responses of a A375 xenograft model to PLX472 and bevacizumab, either as single agents or as combination therapy. We performed species-specific analysis of gene expression to discriminate the effects of the different therapeutic regimens on tumor cells (human) and stromal microenvironment (mouse). Here, Illumina Mouse BeadChips were used to profile the transcriptome after 12 days treatment. We reported that dispensing the dual treatment is more efficient than the single compounds and the occurrence of resistance by modifying the tumor genetic programs regulating myeloid cells recruitment and extracellular matrix remodeling.

View SamplesThe weekly turnover of the intestinal epithelium is driven by multipotent, Lgr5+, crypt base columnar cells (CBCs). In response to injury, however, Lgr5+ cells are lost but then re-emerge and are required for successful recovery. How these resurgent Lgr5+ stem cells arise is unclear. We transcriptionally profiled single cells from regenerating intestinal epithelia and identified a unique cell type we term the revival stem cell (rSC). rSCs are mutually exclusive to CBCs and are distinguished by elevated expression of cell survival and DNA repair genes. In homeostasis, rSCs are extremely rare, but nevertheless give rise to all the major cell types of the intestine including crypt-villus axes. After damage rSCs display a 20-fold, Yap-dependent, transient expansion, reconstitute the Lgr5+ CBC compartment and are required to regenerate a functional intestine. These studies define a unique stem cell phenotype that is mobilized by damage to reconstitute the intestinal epithelium. Overall design: Examination of regenerating mouse intestinal epithelium.
Single-cell transcriptomes of the regenerating intestine reveal a revival stem cell.

View SamplesFVB mice were engineered to express wild-type human cyclin E under control of the human surfactant C promoter (CEO mice; Ma et al, PNAS 2007). These mice develop spontaneous lung tumors, which were shown to be adenocarcinoma by histological analysis. Here we compare whole-genome RNA expression levels between the tumors and normal lung of 4 CEO mice as well as 4 nontransgenic animals.
