Abstract 4588: Cell states and resistance in colorectal cancer: What can we learn from patient-derived organoids?

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the three most commonly diagnosed cancers and one of the major causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Despite the discovery of several predictive biomarkers, the 5-year survival rate for metastatic CRC is 15%. A ...

Metabolic dependencies of metastasis-initiating cells in female breast cancer

Albert Santamaria Martinez, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Jörg Hülsken, Laurent Nam Ky Beziaud, Angela Madurga Alonso, Candice Megan T Young

Understanding the mechanisms that enable cancer cells to metastasize is essential in preventing cancer progression. Here we examine the metabolic adaptations of metastasis-initiating cells (MICs) in female breast cancer and how those shape their metastatic ...

IFNγ-induced stem-like state of cancer cells as a driver of metastatic progression following immunotherapy

Maxim Norkin, Angela Madurga Alonso, Jörg Hülsken, Laurent Nam Ky Beziaud

Despite the remarkable success of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, most cancer patients still do not respond. We now find that immunotherapy can induce stem-like properties in tumors. Using mouse models of breast cancer, we observe that cancer ste ...

Platform combining statistical modeling and patient-derived organoids to facilitate personalized treatment of colorectal carcinoma

Maxim Norkin, Jörg Hülsken

Background We propose a new approach for designing personalized treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, by combining ex vivo organoid efficacy testing with mathematical modeling of the results. ...

Inhibition of SRC-mediated integrin signaling in bone marrow niche enhances hematopoietic stem cell function

Jörg Hülsken

Interaction with microenvironmental factors is crucial for the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function. Stroma derived factor (SDF)-1 alpha supports HSCs in the quiescent state and is central to the homing of transplanted HSCs. Here, we show t ...

Genomic Instability Profiles at the Single Cell Level in Mouse Colorectal Cancers of Defined Genotypes

Maxim Norkin, Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran

The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours t ...

Niche-Mediated Integrin Signaling Supports Steady-State Hematopoiesis in the Spleen

Jörg Hülsken

Outside-in integrin signaling regulates cell fate decisions in a variety of cell types, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Our earlier published studies showed that interruption of periostin (POSTN) and integrin-av (ITGAV) interaction induces faste ...

High-content, targeted RNA-seq screening in organoids for drug discovery in colorectal cancer

Maxim Norkin, Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran

Organoids allow the recapitulation of intestinal homeostasis and cancerogenesis in vitro; however, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based methods for drug screens are missing. We develop targeted organoid sequencing (TORNADO-seq), a high-throughput, high-content d ...
