    Abstract: Humans and mice have cyclical regeneration of the endometrial epithelium. It is expected that such regeneration is ensured by tissue stem cells. However, their location and hierarchy remain debatable. A number of recent studies have suggested the presence of stem cells in the mouse endometrial epithelium. At the same time, it has been reported this tissue can be regenerated by stem cells of stromal/mesenchymal or bone marrow cell origin. Here we describe a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the main cell types of the mouse uterus and epithelial subset transcriptome, and evaluate contribution of epithelial cells expressing transcription factor PAX8 to the homeostatic regeneration and malignant transformation of adult endometrial epithelium. According to lineage tracing, PAX8 positive (PAX8+) epithelial cells are responsible for long-term maintenance of both luminal and glandular epithelium. Furthermore, multicolor tracing shows that individual glands and contiguous areas of luminal epithelium are formed by clonal cell expansion. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes Trp53 and Rb1 in PAX8+ cells but not FOXJ1+ cells leads to formation of neoplasms with features of serous endometrial carcinoma, one of the most aggressive type of human endometrial malignancy. Taken together, our results show that a progeny of single PAX8+ cells represent the main regeneration source of the adult endometrial epithelium. They also provide direct experimental genetic evidence for the key roles of the P53 and RB pathways in the pathogenesis of serous endometrial carcinoma, and suggest that PAX8+ cells represent the cell-of-origin of this neoplasm.

    Abstract: Many high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) likely originate in the distal region of the Fallopian tube’s epithelium (TE) before metastasizing to the ovary. Unfortunately, molecular mechanisms promoting malignancy in the distal TE are obfuscated, largely due to limited primary human TE gene expression data. Here we report an in depth bioinformatic characterization of 34 primary TE mRNA-seq samples. These samples were prepared from proximal and distal TE regions of 12 normal Fallopian tubes. Samples were segregated based on their aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity. Distal cells form organoids with higher frequency and larger size during serial organoid formation assays when compared to proximal cells. Consistent with enrichment for stem/progenitor cells, ALDH+ cells have greater WNT signaling. Comparative evaluation of proximal and distal TE cell population’s shows heightened inflammatory signaling in distal differentiated (ALDH−) TE. Furthermore, comparisons of proximal and distal TE cell populations finds that the distal ALDH+ TE cells exhibit pronounced expression of gene sets characteristic of HGSC sub-types. Overall, our study indicates increased organoid forming capacity, WNT/inflammatory signaling, and HGSC signatures underlie differences between distal and proximal regions of the human TE. These findings provide the basis for further mechanistic studies of distal TE susceptibility to the malignant transformation.

    Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a recently discovered class of noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression. Recent evidence indicates that miRNAs may play an important role in cancer. However, the mechanism of their deregulation in neoplastic transformation has only begun to be understood. To elucidate the role of tumor suppressor p53 in regulation of miRNAs, we have analyzed changes in miRNA microarray expression profile immediately after conditional inactivation of p53 in primary mouse ovarian surface epithelium cells. Among the most significantly affected miRNAs were miR-34b and miR-34c, which were down-regulated 12-fold according to quantitative reverse transcription–PCR analysis. Computational promoter analysis of the mir-34b/mir-34c locus identified the presence of evolutionarily conserved p53 binding sites ∼3 kb upstream of the miRNA coding sequence. Consistent with evolutionary conservation, mir-34b/mir-34c were also down-regulated in p53-null human ovarian carcinoma cells. Furthermore, as expected from p53 binding to the mir-34b/c promoter, doxorubicin treatment of wild-type, but not p53-deficient, cells resulted in an increase of mir-34b/mir-34c expression. Importantly, miR-34b and miR-34c cooperate in suppressing proliferation and soft-agar colony formation of neoplastic epithelial ovarian cells, in agreement with the partially overlapping spectrum of their predicted targets. Taken together, these results show the existence of a novel mechanism by which p53 suppresses such critical components of neoplastic growth as cell proliferation and adhesion-independent colony formation.

    Abstract: Mice with a single copy of the retinoblastoma gene (Rb+/−) develop a syndrome of multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia. They usually succumb to fast-growing, Rb-deficient melanotroph tumors of the pituitary intermediate lobe, which are extremely rare in humans. Thus, full assessment of Rb role in other, more relevant to human pathology, neoplasms is complicated. To prevent melanotroph neoplasia while preserving spontaneous carcinogenesis in other types of cells, we have prepared transgenic mice in which 770-bp fragment of pro-opiomelanocortin promoter directs expression of the human RB gene to melanotrophs (TgPOMC-RB). In three independent lines, transgenic mice crossed to Rb+/− background are devoid of melanotroph tumors but develop the usual spectrum of other neoplasms. Interestingly, abrogation of melanotroph carcinogenesis results in accelerated progression of pituitary anterior lobe tumors and medullary thyroid carcinomas. A combination of immunologic tests, cell culture studies, and tumorigenicity assays indicates that α-melanocyte–stimulating hormone, which is overproduced by melanotroph tumors, attenuates neoplastic progression by decreasing cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. Taken together, we show that cell lineage–specific complementation of Rb function can be successfully used for refining available models of stochastic carcinogenesis and identify α-melanocyte–stimulating hormone as a potential attenuating factor during progression of neuroendocrine neoplasms.

    Abstract: Recently, we have shown that prostate epithelium–specific deficiency for p53 and Rb tumor suppressors leads to metastatic cancer, exhibiting features of both luminal and neuroendocrine differentiation. Using stage-by-stage evaluation of carcinogenesis in this model, we report that all malignant neoplasms arise from the proximal region of the prostatic ducts, the compartment highly enriched for prostatic stem/progenitor cells. In close similarity to reported properties of prostatic stem cells, the cells of the earliest neoplastic lesions express stem cell marker stem cell antigen 1 and are not sensitive to androgen withdrawal. Like a subset of normal cells located in the proximal region of prostatic ducts, the early neoplastic cells coexpress luminal epithelium markers cytokeratin 8, androgen receptor, and neuroendocrine markers synaptophysin and chromogranin A. Inactivation of p53 and Rb also takes place in the lineage-committed transit-amplifying and/or differentiated cells of the distal region of the prostatic ducts. However, the resulting prostatic intraepithelial neoplasms never progress to carcinoma by the time of mouse death. Interestingly, in an ectopic transplantation assay, early mutant cells derived from either region of the prostatic ducts are capable of forming neoplasms within 3 months. These findings indicate that p53 and Rb are critically important for the regulation of the prostatic stem cell compartment, the transformation in which may lead to particularly aggressive cancers in the context of microenvironment.

    Abstract: Layered nanohybrids (LNH) are a promising nonviral system allowing controlled drug and DNA delivery. In order to test the toxicity of LNH consisting of a magnesium/aluminum core, mice were subjected to subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, and intravenous injections of these nanoparticles at three doses. Intravenous injections resulted in 8% (1 out of 12) lethality at doses 100 μl and 200 μl of 6.96 × 10 −4 M solution, while all mice survived after LNH administration by any other routes. Histopathological alterations were limited to mild localized inflammatory lesions in the lungs and the dermis after intravenous and subcutaneous administration, respectively. LNH labeled with Lucifer Yellow were readily detectable in both locations by fluorescent microscopy. To test their potential for intravital imaging, LNH-Lucifer Yellow were injected into the ovarian bursa and successfully visualized by multiphoton microscopy within the ovarian surface epithelial cells. In similar experiments, the ovary and the ovarian bursa were readily detectable by magnetic resonance imaging after administration of modified LNH, where aluminum was substituted for gadolinium. Taken together, these results demonstrate minimal in vivo toxicity of LNH and illuminate their potential as multifunctional nanoscale particles suitable for combination of intravital biomedical imaging with controlled drug release.

    Abstract: Rapid advances in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine have opened new opportunities for better understanding disease pathogenesis and the development of new diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment approaches. Many stem cell niches are well defined anatomically, thereby allowing their routine pathological evaluation during disease initiation and progression. Evaluation of the consequences of genetic manipulations in stem cells and investigation of the roles of stem cells in regenerative medicine and pathogenesis of various diseases such as cancer require significant expertise in pathology for accurate interpretation of novel findings. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing stem cell pathology as a discipline to facilitate stem cell research and regenerative medicine. This review provides examples of anatomically defined niches suitable for evaluation by diagnostic pathologists, describes neoplastic lesions associated with them, and discusses further directions of stem cell pathology.
