    Interactions between cancer stem cells and their niche govern metastatic colonization (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)

    Publication Date: 2011-12-14
    Description: Metastatic growth in distant organs is the major cause of cancer mortality. The development of metastasis is a multistage process with several rate-limiting steps. Although dissemination of tumour cells seems to be an early and frequent event, the successful initiation of metastatic growth, a process termed 'metastatic colonization', is inefficient for many cancer types and is accomplished only by a minority of cancer cells that reach distant sites. Prevalent target sites are characteristic of many tumour entities, suggesting that inadequate support by distant tissues contributes to the inefficiency of the metastatic process. Here we show that a small population of cancer stem cells is critical for metastatic colonization, that is, the initial expansion of cancer cells at the secondary site, and that stromal niche signals are crucial to this expansion process. We find that periostin (POSTN), a component of the extracellular matrix, is expressed by fibroblasts in the normal tissue and in the stroma of the primary tumour. Infiltrating tumour cells need to induce stromal POSTN expression in the secondary target organ (in this case lung) to initiate colonization. POSTN is required to allow cancer stem cell maintenance, and blocking its function prevents metastasis. POSTN recruits Wnt ligands and thereby increases Wnt signalling in cancer stem cells. We suggest that the education of stromal cells by infiltrating tumour cells is an important step in metastatic colonization and that preventing de novo niche formation may be a novel strategy for the treatment of metastatic disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Malanchi, Ilaria -- Santamaria-Martinez, Albert -- Susanto, Evelyn -- Peng, Hong -- Lehr, Hans-Anton -- Delaloye, Jean-Francois -- Huelsken, Joerg -- England -- Nature. 2011 Dec 7;481(7379):85-9. doi: 10.1038/nature10694.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research and National Center of Competence in Research Molecular Oncology, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22158103" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A mesoscale connectome of the mouse brain (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-04-04
    Description: Comprehensive knowledge of the brain's wiring diagram is fundamental for understanding how the nervous system processes information at both local and global scales. However, with the singular exception of the C. elegans microscale connectome, there are no complete connectivity data sets in other species. Here we report a brain-wide, cellular-level, mesoscale connectome for the mouse. The Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas uses enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-expressing adeno-associated viral vectors to trace axonal projections from defined regions and cell types, and high-throughput serial two-photon tomography to image the EGFP-labelled axons throughout the brain. This systematic and standardized approach allows spatial registration of individual experiments into a common three dimensional (3D) reference space, resulting in a whole-brain connectivity matrix. A computational model yields insights into connectional strength distribution, symmetry and other network properties. Virtual tractography illustrates 3D topography among interconnected regions. Cortico-thalamic pathway analysis demonstrates segregation and integration of parallel pathways. The Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas is a freely available, foundational resource for structural and functional investigations into the neural circuits that support behavioural and cognitive processes in health and disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Oh, Seung Wook -- Harris, Julie A -- Ng, Lydia -- Winslow, Brent -- Cain, Nicholas -- Mihalas, Stefan -- Wang, Quanxin -- Lau, Chris -- Kuan, Leonard -- Henry, Alex M -- Mortrud, Marty T -- Ouellette, Benjamin -- Nguyen, Thuc Nghi -- Sorensen, Staci A -- Slaughterbeck, Clifford R -- Wakeman, Wayne -- Li, Yang -- Feng, David -- Ho, Anh -- Nicholas, Eric -- Hirokawa, Karla E -- Bohn, Phillip -- Joines, Kevin M -- Peng, Hanchuan -- Hawrylycz, Michael J -- Phillips, John W -- Hohmann, John G -- Wohnoutka, Paul -- Gerfen, Charles R -- Koch, Christof -- Bernard, Amy -- Dang, Chinh -- Jones, Allan R -- Zeng, Hongkui -- England -- Nature. 2014 Apr 10;508(7495):207-14. doi: 10.1038/nature13186.

    Sperm tsRNAs contribute to intergenerational inheritance of an acquired metabolic disorder (2016)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-01-02
    Description: Increasing evidence indicates that metabolic disorders in offspring can result from the father's diet, but the mechanism remains unclear. In a paternal mouse model given a high-fat diet (HFD), we showed that a subset of sperm transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), mainly from 5' transfer RNA halves and ranging in size from 30 to 34 nucleotides, exhibited changes in expression profiles and RNA modifications. Injection of sperm tsRNA fractions from HFD males into normal zygotes generated metabolic disorders in the F1 offspring and altered gene expression of metabolic pathways in early embryos and islets of F1 offspring, which was unrelated to DNA methylation at CpG-enriched regions. Hence, sperm tsRNAs represent a paternal epigenetic factor that may mediate intergenerational inheritance of diet-induced metabolic disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Qi -- Yan, Menghong -- Cao, Zhonghong -- Li, Xin -- Zhang, Yunfang -- Shi, Junchao -- Feng, Gui-hai -- Peng, Hongying -- Zhang, Xudong -- Zhang, Ying -- Qian, Jingjing -- Duan, Enkui -- Zhai, Qiwei -- Zhou, Qi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Jan 22;351(6271):397-400. doi: 10.1126/science.aad7977.
