Project description

A complete device was developed by the SLN/LISA laboratory in collaboration with the Laboratory of Toxicology of the ULB Faculty of Pharmacy. A cluster of such devices were installed at this latter laboratory where they run 24h per day for monitoring cancer cell behavior and providing a large number of video sequences.

The aim of this device is to permit the observation during several days of in vitro cell cultures by means of phase-contrast microscopy, in order to automatically detect and quantify specific behavior patterns, such as cell motility, cell division, cell death...

Specific image acquisition and analysis software packages have been developed for different applications using standard 2D cell cultures. New developments are in course for the analysis of cell behavior in 3D matrix gels. This project is supported by the F.R.M.S. and the Télévie program from the F.N.R.S. (Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research).

This application is a good example of the vertical integration of a complete system from the assisted video microscipy and image analysis system at the service of the state of the art in cancer research.

The Cellular Imaging project is :

  • incubator prototyping
  • thermo-regulation
  • image acquisition
  • image analysis
  • motion parameters estimation
  • division parameters estimation
  • cancer cell migration study
  • anti-cancer drug screening

Abstract : The prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. Diffuse invasion of distant brain tissue by migrating cells from the primary tumour mass has already occurred at time of diagnosis. Anti-cancer effects of a selective sigma-1 agonist, 4-(N-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-4-iodobenzamide (4-IBP), in glioblastoma were shown previously, leading to the present work where the effects on glioblastoma cells of 17 agonists or antagonists of sigma-1 receptors were studied, including currently marketed drugs fluvoxamine, dextromethorphan, donepezil, memantine and haloperidol. We first showed that established GBM cell lines, primary cultures and surgical specimens express sigma-1 receptors. In vitro analyses then focused on anti-proliferation and anti-migratory effects on human glioblastoma cell lines using quantitative videomicroscopy analyses. These cell monitoring assays revealed specific impacts on the mitotic cell process. Using an aggressive glioma model orthotopically grafted into the brains of immunocompromised mice, we showed that combining donepezil and temozolomide gave additive benefit in terms of long survivors as compared to temozolomide or donepezil alone. Clinical study is planned if further rodent dose-ranging studies of donepezil with temozolomide continue to show evidence of benefit in this model.

Abstract : BACKGROUND: While the neurotensin (NT) roles in pancreatic cancer growth are well documented, its effects on pancreatic cancer cell migration have not been described. METHODS: The NT-induced effects on the migration process of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells (PDACs) were characterized by means of various assays including computer-assisted video-microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, ELISA-based, small GTPase pull-down and phosphorylation assays. RESULTS: The NT-induced modifications on in vitro PDACs migration largely depended on the extra-cellular matrix environment and cell propensity to migrate collectively or individually. While NT significantly reduced the level of migration of collectively migrating PDACs on vitronectin, it significantly increased the level of individually migrating PDACs. These effects were mainly mediated through the sortilin/NTR3 receptor. Neurotensin both induced altered expression of alphaV and beta5 integrin subunits in PDACs cultured on vitronectin resulting in modified adhesion abilities, and caused modifications to the organization of the actin cytoskeleton through the NT-mediated activation of small Rho GTPases. While the NT effects on individually migrating PDACs were mediated at least through the EGFR/ERK signaling pathways, those on collectively migrating PDACs appeared highly dependent on the PI 3-kinase pathway. CONCLUSION: This study strongly suggests the involvement of neurotensin in the modulation of human PDAC migration.
