Weak Cell Adhesion is a Prognostic Signature of Invasive Cancer

Project Summary Despite early detection, low-grade and localized breast cancers such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) can relapse in up to 20% of cases despite standard of care. For DCIS, relapse affects over 12,000 U.S. women annually and has increased 60% in the last 40 years. Current diagnostic assessments including histopathological markers often miss early disseminating cells, lack specificity, or cannot distinguish cancer from non-cancer cells in the stroma. Hence there is an unmet need for cancer diagnostic technologies that employ radically different characterization methods. For example, significant physical differences exist between metastasizing and benign breast cancer cells, owing to metastasizing cells detaching from the primary tumor, migrating through the surrounding stroma, intravasating and extravasating, and ultimately engrafting in distant tissues. We recently demonstrated that cancer cells with weaker adhesion migrate faster and metastasize more frequently in murine breast cancer models than strongly adherent cells. In a small pilot study of human breast tumors, we also observed that the abundance of weakly adherent (WA) cells scales with disease severity; subpopulations from invasive carcinomas were the least adherent. However, a subset of DCIS cases displayed much less adhesion, suggesting that these patients may have a tumor subpopulation that progresses to metastatic disease despite standard-of-care treatment. Weak adhesion is a defining physical characteristic of tumors, but to establish their role in initiation, metastasis, and patient outcomes, we will leverage model systems and our newly patented adhesion technology to answer these fundamental questions of cancer biology and clinical translation. To understand the impact of adhesion on cancer progression, we will evaluate the tumor-initiating potential of WA versus strongly adherent (SA) tumor cells in a murine breast cancer model before confirming how weak adhesion advantages cells to cause secondary disease using bioengineered in vitro models. In dissecting the stages of metastasis where WA cells exhibit advantages, e.g., recapitulating stromal niche, transendothelial migration, and tissue-specific colonization, we will identify mechanisms that enable WA cells to thrive and evaluate therapeutic targets that disrupt these pathways. Finally, we will analyze the adhesion profiles of resected tumors and stroma from 80 breast cancer patients with DCIS or invasive disease. Adhesion data will be correlated with conventional assessment methods and ultimately with patient outcomes, e.g., disease-free and progression-free intervals. We anticipate that the DCIS subpopulation that aligns with the adhesion signature of invasive carcinomas will have shorter intervals and survival time. This integrated study design bridges mouse models, mechanistic bioengineering assays, and human samples to clarify the metastatic potential and prognostic value of WA breast cancer cells. Our use of mouse models in this grant is required to study the interactions among tumor cells, immune cells, vasculature, and stromal tissues that drive tumor formation in vivo. Bioengineered in vitro systems lack the complexity to ask such questions and using injected tumor cells is not possible in humans.

Molecular strategies for resolving differential regulation of dopamine subpopulations

Project Summary/Abstract Dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) fire action potentials in complex patterns of tonic and phasic activity in response to environmental stimuli and during behavioral tasks. Transcriptomic, anatomical, and functional studies have established that VTA dopamine neurons can be divided into multiple subpopulations with variable gene expression, projection patterns, and response profiles. We recently completed a transcriptomic study that identified genetic markers for three distinct subpopulations of VTA dopamine neurons, and also found evidence for variability in ion channel gene expression between populations that correlated with differences in activity-dependent gene expression. However, much remains unknown regarding how specific genes encoding ion channels, receptors, transcription factors, or other signaling components contribute to the variability in baseline physiological properties observed across the VTA. Here we propose to combine slice electrophysiology recordings of VTA dopamine neurons with post-hoc single-cell sequencing analysis (i.e. patch-seq), which will allow us to directly correlate gene expression and physiological properties in order to identify candidate genes that may be key drivers of the variability between subpopulations. We also propose to validate and utilize a novel dual-recombinase CRISPR/Cas9 system for targeted gene mutagenesis in intersectional neuronal populations, which will provide a mechanism for testing gene function with unprecedented precision. We will use this approach to test the function of two candidate ion channel genes, the potassium channels Kcnh5 and Kcnh7, previously identified in our transcriptomic study as potential contributors to dopamine neuron action potential firing properties. We hypothesize that these genes are important for enabling rapid action potential firing in highly excitable dopamine neurons found in specific subpopulations. As a whole, with this proposal we aim to generate a valuable dataset linking gene expression in VTA dopamine neurons with physiology and subpopulation identification, as well as develop an intersectional gene mutagenesis strategy that can be used throughout the brain to precisely target neuronal subpopulations to test gene function. With this approach, we hope to facilitate future precision targeting of the dopamine system and dopamine-dependent behaviors.

Mechanisms of age-related inflammatory dysregulation in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the supporting tissues of the dentition. Similar to other chronic inflammatory conditions, the prevalence of periodontal disease increases with age. Dysregulation of the host inflammatory response is central to the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and other age-related diseases. Therefore, an improved understanding of the pathologic mechanisms that contribute to age-related inflammatory dysregulation is needed to better manage periodontal disease in older adults. Towards understanding a mechanism of age-related inflammatory dysregulation in periodontal disease, we will investigate the role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). TREM2 is a potent immunoregulator expressed on macrophages. Signaling through TREM2 downregulates inflammation, in part, through inhibition of inflammatory cytokine expression. Dysregulation of TREM2 has been implicated in chronic inflammatory disease and age-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, liver disease, and osteoarthritis. However, the role of TREM2 in periodontal disease is understudied. Therefore, we propose to study TREM2 in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and age-related inflammatory dysregulation. Our preliminary work has demonstrated that TREM2 is critical in macrophage immunoregulatory processes in the periodontium and TREM2 dysregulation contributes to periodontal disease in mice. We have shown that Trem2 is expressed in macrophages isolated form the periodontium in mice. We demonstrated that old mice expressed less Trem2 in the periodontium compared to young, which was associated with local inflammatory dysregulation and increased periodontal disease severity. Interestingly, Trem2 depletion in young mice resulted in increased inflammatory dysregulation and periodontal disease severity, similar to what is observed in old mice. From the preliminary data, we hypothesize that TREM2 modulates macrophage activity in the periodontium and age-related dysregulation of TREM2 drives a pathologic inflammatory response in periodontal disease. In Aim 1, we will demonstrate the extent to which TREM2 modulates inflammation and periodontal disease severity using old, young, and Trem2-/- mouse models of periodontal disease. In Aim 2, we will develop tissue-specific, single cell map of the immune cells in the periodontium and understand the effect of age and Trem2 on immune cell phenotypes and subpopulations. Findings from this proposal will elucidate a novel mechanism in age-related inflammatory dysregulation in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and further advance our understanding of the role of TREM2 within oral tissues. This proposal was designed to generate a novel body of work that will be used to develop the independent research program of an early stage investigator and to support an R01 proposal to be submitted at the completion of this project period.

Characterizing adipocyte heterogeneity in response to metabolic stress

Project Summary Adipose tissue is a central player in metabolism, storing energy healthily under normal conditions but becoming dysfunctional when overloaded. This can lead to the development of metabolic disease, most notably insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Understanding the contribution of adipose tissue to these complications requires knowledge of the individual cell types within adipose tissue and how they respond to different metabolic conditions. My previous work used single nucleus RNA sequencing to profile the cell types in adipose tissue and identified a number of subpopulations of white adipocytes that are differentially associated with clinical characteristics such as body mass index. In this grant, I now aim to better understand how a diverse array of stimuli influences adipocyte development and specification, the role that intra-individual variation plays in the response to these stimuli, and a better understanding of the relationship of adipocyte state to the development of metabolic disease. To do this, I propose using a model in which I can study human adipocyte development and function in mice to perform experiments such as high fat diet and cold exposure that are well-characterized in mice but not in humans. By performing experiments using cells from humans with a range of starting clinical characteristics, I can determine what changes will happen in response to a stimuli in all individuals verses those that only occur in specific populations. The experience that I have in characterizing adipocytes and adipose tissue both at the bench and computationally make me uniquely positioned to answer these questions. Taken together, these studies can test the behavior of adipocyte subpopulations from different people and under different conditions, ultimately leading to a better understanding of how subpopulations develop and, eventually, how we can target these populations to treat metabolic disease.

Optimizing gamma-delta T cell receptor-mediated signaling to improve cancer immunotherapy

PROJECT SUMMARY The recent development of T cell-based cancer immunotherapies, including checkpoint blockade (anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4 and others) or adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using modified patient T cells, has led to improved patient outcomes for a variety of cancers. However, durable responses are observed in only a fraction of patients. Further progress can be made by studying and targeting different T cell subpopulations, such as the gd T cells which are known to possess antitumor activities. Further, gd T cells are mostly independent of MHC-restriction, unconstrained by neoantigen burden, preferential homing to peripheral tissues and possess unique properties of T cells as well as natural killer cells making them an extremely attractive cancer immunotherapy target. One way of gd T cell activation involves the gd T cell receptor (gdTCR)-CD3 signaling pathway. gd T cell recognition of antigen by the gdTCR and the resulting proximal signaling through surrounding CD3 subunits are key steps of gd T cell activation. Even though the individual components of the gdTCR-CD3 and abTCR-CD3 complexes remain the same except for the TCRs, the complete gdTCR-CD3 complex extracellular structure is unknown. Identification of the specific extracellular interactions between the gdTCR and CD3 subunits could offer precise guidance for the development of immunotherapeutic strategies that modulate gdT cell immunity by targeting signaling through the gdTCR-CD3 complex. Our previous data showed that mutating residues in the constant domain of the abTCR resulted in altered ab T cell cytokine responses. Based on this data, our hypothesis is that gdTCR-CD3 signaling can also be modulated by targeting specific regions of the gdTCR by mutagenesis to improve gd T cell antitumor activities. To test our hypothesis, in Aim 1, we will use a novel photo-crosslinking and computational docking methodology to solve the complete extracellular structure of a gdTCR-CD3 complex. Further, we will use an in silico structure-based TCR design approach to identify gdTCR mutants that enhance signaling. In Aim 2, we will use an in vitro retroviral TCR display method using degenerate primers to create gdTCR mutant libraries at specific gdTCR sites such as Cg helix 3 and connecting peptide (CP) regions. In both instances, identified mutants will be tested for improved functionalities in an MHC-independent gd TCR (G115 Vg9Vd2 TCR) using in vitro cytokine and tumor-killing assays. Overall, the newly identified enhanced gd T cell clones could potentially lead to a new wave of effective cancer immunotherapy strategy by leaning into the largely untapped potential of gd T cells.

Targeting the fibrogenic ECM as an alternative approach to treating IPF

Project Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and, more broadly, progressive pulmonary fibrosis are wound healing disorders whose hallmark is unorganized and unchecked extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition leading to scarring/stiffening of the lung interstitium. A highly complex, multicellular process, the generation of scar itself is primarily a function of activated fibroblasts with contributions from multiple subpopulations and non-fibroblastic cells. Myofibroblasts, the contractile cohort of activated fibroblasts, physically perturb (i.e. stretch) the local ECM microenvironment, which we have recently shown triggers site-specific, stretch-dependent conformational changes within the ECM protein fibronectin. We have previously demonstrated that a specific stretch-induced conformational change in the critical receptor binding domain of fibronectin triggers a cellular “integrin switch”, a stark change in the ECM receptors used by cells to engage fibronectin. This integrin switch is sufficient to drive activation of naïve lung fibroblasts, acquisition of mesenchymal characteristics in alveolar epithelial cells, and pathogenic remodeling of vascular structures. In this proposal we hypothesize that fibronectin displays a stretch- dependent conformational change specifically in regions of active lung fibrogenesis and that this conformational change disrupts homeostatic integrin binding dynamics in fibroblasts, leading to their acquisition of a pro-fibrogenic phenotype and transcriptional program. We address this hypothesis in a systematic way through three proposed aims. The first aim focuses on quantifying the presence and spatial localization of the stretch-induced conformational change within a cohort of lung fibrosis patient tissue samples, determining if it represents a consistent marker of active fibrogenic regions and elucidation of critical microenvironmental signatures that further expand our understanding of the impact of fibronectin's integrin switch in driving disease. In the second aim we will begin to unravel the molecular mechanism explaining how the integrin switch that emerges because of the stretch-induced conformational change drives fibroblast activation and fibrogenic gene programs using both idealized in vitro culture systems as well as ex vivo human disease tissue models. Finally, in the third aim we will explore the therapeutic potential of binding and blocking this specific stretch-induced conformation of fibronectin using a promising new and potential antibody drug in both in vivo and ex vivo models of disease.

Targeting thalamic circuits rescues motor and mood deficits in PD mice

Although bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity are hallmark motor defects in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, they also experience motor learning impairments and non-motor symptoms such as depression. The neural basis for these different PD symptoms are not well understood. While current treatments are effective for locomotion deficits in PD, therapeutic strategies targeting motor learning deficits and non-motor symptoms are lacking. We found that distinct parafascicular (PF) thalamic subpopulations project to caudate putamen (CPu), subthalamic nucleus (STN), and nucleus accumbens (NAc). While PF-->CPu and PF-->STN circuits are critical for locomotion and motor learning respectively, inhibition of the PF-->NAc circuit induced a depression-like state. While chemogenetically manipulating CPu-projecting PF neurons led to a long-term restoration of locomotion, optogenetic long-term potentiation at PF-->STN synapses restored motor learning behavior in PD model mice. Furthermore, activation of NAc-projecting PF neurons rescued depression-like PD phenotypes. Importantly, we identified nicotinic acetylcholine receptors capable of modulating PF circuits to rescue different PD phenotypes. Thus, targeting PF thalamic circuits may be an effective strategy for treating motor and non-motor deficits in PD.

The role of population structure in computations through neural dynamics

Neural computations are currently investigated using two separate approaches: sorting neurons into functional subpopulations or examining the low-dimensional dynamics of collective activity. Whether and how these two aspects interact to shape computations is currently unclear. Using a novel approach to extract computational mechanisms from networks trained on neuroscience tasks, here we show that the dimensionality of the dynamics and subpopulation structure play fundamentally com- plementary roles. Although various tasks can be implemented by increasing the dimensionality in networks with fully random population structure, flexible input–output mappings instead require a non-random population structure that can be described in terms of multiple subpopulations. Our analyses revealed that such a subpopulation structure enables flexible computations through a mechanism based on gain-controlled modulations that flexibly shape the collective dynamics. Our results lead to task-specific predictions for the structure of neural selectivity, for inactivation experiments and for the implication of different neurons in multi-tasking.

NaV Long-term Inactivation Regulates Adaptation in Place Cells and Depolarization Block in Dopamine Neurons

In behaving rodents, CA1 pyramidal neurons receive spatially-tuned depolarizing synaptic input while traversing a specific location within an environment called its place. Midbrain dopamine neurons participate in reinforcement learning, and bursts of action potentials riding a depolarizing wave of synaptic input signal rewards and reward expectation. Interestingly, slice electrophysiology in vitro shows that both types of cells exhibit a pronounced reduction in firing rate (adaptation) and even cessation of firing during sustained depolarization. We included a five state Markov model of NaV1.6 (for CA1) and NaV1.2 (for dopamine neurons) respectively, in computational models of these two types of neurons. Our simulations suggest that long-term inactivation of this channel is responsible for the adaptation in CA1 pyramidal neurons, in response to triangular depolarizing current ramps. We also show that the differential contribution of slow inactivation in two subpopulations of midbrain dopamine neurons can account for their different dynamic ranges, as assessed by their responses to similar depolarizing ramps. These results suggest long-term inactivation of the sodium channel is a general mechanism for adaptation.

NMC4 Short Talk: Stretching and squeezing of neuronal log firing rate distribution by psychedelic and intrinsic brain state transitions

How psychedelic drugs change the activity of cortical neuronal populations is not well understood. It is also not clear which changes are specific to transition into the psychedelic brain state and which are shared with other brain state transitions. Here, we used Neuropixels probes to record from large populations of neurons in prefrontal cortex of mice given the psychedelic drug TCB-2. The primary effect of drug ingestion was stretching of the distribution of log firing rates of the recorded population. This phenomenon was previously observed across transitions between sleep and wakefulness, which prompted us to examine how common it is. We found that modulation of the width of the log-rate distribution of a neuronal population occurred in multiple areas of the cortex and in the hippocampus even in awake drug-free mice, driven by intrinsic fluctuations in their arousal level. Arousal, however, did not explain the stretching of the log-rate distribution by TCB-2. In both psychedelic and intrinsically occurring brain state transitions, the stretching or squeezing of the log-rate distribution of an entire neuronal population were the result of a more close overlap between log-rate distributions of the upregulated and downregulated subpopulations in one brain state compared to the other brain state. Often, we also observed that the log-rate distribution of the downregulated subpopulation was stretched, whereas the log-rate distribution of the upregulated subpopulation was squeezed. In both subpopulations, the stretching and squeezing were a signature of a greater relative impact of the brain state transition on the rates of the slow-firing neurons. These findings reveal a generic pattern of reorganisation of neuronal firing rates by different kinds of brain state transitions.

Rastermap: Extracting structure from high dimensional neural data

Large-scale neural recordings contain high-dimensional structure that cannot be easily captured by existing data visualization methods. We therefore developed an embedding algorithm called Rastermap, which captures highly nonlinear relationships between neurons, and provides useful visualizations by assigning each neuron to a location in the embedding space. Compared to standard algorithms such as t-SNE and UMAP, Rastermap finds finer and higher dimensional patterns of neural variability, as measured by quantitative benchmarks. We applied Rastermap to a variety of datasets, including spontaneous neural activity, neural activity during a virtual reality task, widefield neural imaging data during a 2AFC task, artificial neural activity from an agent playing atari games, and neural responses to visual textures. We found within these datasets unique subpopulations of neurons encoding abstract properties of the environment.

Distinct limbic-hypothalamic circuits for the generation of social behaviors

The main pillars of social behaviors involve (1) mating, where males copulate with female partners to reproduce, and (2) aggression, where males fight conspecific male competitors in territory guarding. Decades of study have identified two key regions in the hypothalamus, the medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) and the ventrolateral part of ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) , that are essential for male sexual and aggressive behaviors, respectively. However, it remains ambiguous what area directs excitatory control of the hypothalamic activity and generates the initiation signal for social behaviors. Through neural tracing, in vivo optical recording and functional manipulations, we identified the estrogen receptor alpha (Esr1)-expressing cells in the posterior amygdala (PA) as a main source of excitatory inputs to the MPN and VMHvl, and key hubs in mating and fighting circuits in males. Importantly, two spatially-distinct populations in the PA regulate male sexual and aggressive behaviors, respectively. Moreover, these two subpopulations in the PA display differential molecular phenotypes, projection patterns and in vivo neural responses. Our work also observed the parallels between these social behavior circuits and basal ganglia circuits to control motivated behaviors, which Larry Swanson (2000) originally proposed based on extensive developmental and anatomical evidence.

Organization of Midbrain Serotonin System

The serotonin system is the most frequently targeted neural system pharmacologically for treating psychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety. Serotonin neurons of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei (DR, MR) collectively innervate the entire forebrain and midbrain, modulating diverse physiology and behaviour. By using viral-genetic methods, we found that DR serotonin system contains parallel sub-systems that differ in input and output connectivity, physiological response properties, and behavioural functions. To gain a fundamental understanding of the molecular heterogeneity of DR and MR, we used single-cell RNA - sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate a comprehensive dataset comprising eleven transcriptomically distinct serotonin neuron clusters. We generated novel intersectional viral-genetic tools to access specific subpopulations. Whole-brain axonal projection mapping revealed that the molecular features of these distinct serotonin groups reflect their anatomical organization and provide tools for future exploration of the full projection map of molecularly defined serotonin groups. The molecular architecture of serotonin system lays the foundation for integrating anatomical, neurochemical, physiological, and behavioural functions.

Emergence of long time scales in data-driven network models of zebrafish activity

How can neural networks exhibit persistent activity on time scales much larger than allowed by cellular properties? We address this question in the context of larval zebrafish, a model vertebrate that is accessible to brain-scale neuronal recording and high-throughput behavioral studies. We study in particular the dynamics of a bilaterally distributed circuit, the so-called ARTR, including hundreds neurons. ARTR exhibits slow antiphasic alternations between its left and right subpopulations, which can be modulated by the water temperature, and drive the coordinated orientation of swim bouts, thus organizing the fish spatial exploration. To elucidate the mechanism leading to the slow self-oscillation, we train a network graphical model (Ising) on neural recordings. Sampling the inferred model allows us to generate synthetic oscillatory activity, whose features correctly capture the observed dynamics. A mean-field analysis of the inferred model reveals the existence several phases; activated crossing of the barriers in between those phases controls the long time scales present in the network oscillations. We show in particular how the barrier heights and the nature of the phases vary with the water temperature.

Molecular controls over corticospinal neuron axon branching at specific spinal segments

Corticospinal neurons (CSN) are the cortical projection neurons that innervate the spinal cord and some brainstem targets with segmental precision to control voluntary movement of specific functional motor groups, limb sections, or individual digits, yet molecular regulation over CSN segmental target specificity is essentially unknown. CSN subpopulations exhibit striking axon targeting specificity from development into maturity: Evolutionarily newer rostrolateral CSN exclusively innervate bulbar-cervical targets (CSNBC-lat), while evolutionarily older caudomedial CSN (CSNmed) are more heterogeneous, with distinct subpopulations extending axons to either bulbar-cervical or thoraco-lumbar segments. The cervical cord, with its evolutionarily enhanced precision of forelimb movement, is innervated by multiple CSN subpopulations, suggesting inter-neuronal interactions in establishing corticospinal connectivity. I identify that Lumican, previously unrecognized in axon development, controls the specificity of cervical spinal cord innervation by CSN. Remarkably, Lumican, an extracellular matrix protein expressed by CSNBC-lat, non-cell-autonomously suppresses axon collateralization in the cervical cord by CSNmed. Intersectional viral labeling and mouse genetics further identify that Lumican controls axon collateralization by multiple subpopulations in caudomedial sensorimotor cortex. These results identify inter-axonal molecular crosstalk between CSN subpopulations as a novel mechanism controlling corticospinal connectivity and competitive specificity. Further, this mechanism has potential implications for evolutionary diversification of corticospinal circuitry with finer scale precision. "" Complementing this work, to comprehensively elucidate related axon projection mechanisms functioning at tips of growing CSN axons in vivo, I am currently applying experimental and analytic approaches recently developed in my postdoc lab (Poulopoulos*, Murphy*, Nature, 2019) to quantitatively and subcellularly “map” RNA and protein molecular machinery of subtype-specific growth cones, in parallel to their parent somata, isolated directly in vivo from developing subcerebral projection neurons (SCPN; the broader cortical output neuron population targeting both brainstem and spinal cord; includes CSN). I am investigating both normal development and GC-soma dysregulation with mutation of central CSN-SCPN transcriptional regulator Ctip2/Bcl11b.
