    Abstract Dysregulation of the transcriptional or translational machinery can alter the stoichiometry of multiprotein complexes and occurs in natural processes such as aging. Loss of stoichiometry has been shown to alter protein complex functions. We provide a protocol and associated code that use omics data to quantify these stoichiometric changes via statistical dispersion utilizing the interquartile range of expression values per grouping variable. This descriptive statistical approach enables the quantification of stoichiometry changes without additional data acquisition. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hinz et al. (2021).

    Abstract Purely intradural retro-odontoid synovial cysts are rarely reported in neurosurgical literature, particularly in the absence of associated bony erosions. We present the case of a 57-year-old Native American male with a retro-odontoid synovial cyst and a history of chronic refractory neck pain that was adequately decompressed via an endoscopic-assisted far-lateral approach using a C1-2 hemilaminectomy, obviating the vertebral artery (VA) transposition, bony instability, and the need for instrumented bony fusion. The patient presented to our clinic with several months of refractory nuchal and cervical spine pain and crepitation affecting his activities of daily living (ADL). MRI findings revealed an intradural cyst at the level of C2 behind the odontoid process impinging on the medulla and causing early VA displacement. Both stereotactic neuro-navigation and microsurgical visualization aided in the manipulation of the endoscope and attaining the caudocranial working trajectory. The patient remained neurologically non-lateralizing postoperatively, similar to his preoperative status. This article highlights a less invasive surgical exposure with an endoscope-assisted caudocranial trajectory obtained by a limited unilateral hemilaminectomy to achieve the desired outcome.

    Abstract The interaction between cells and their surrounding microenvironment has a crucial role in determining cell fate. In many pathological conditions, the microenvironment drives disease progression as well as therapeutic resistance. A number of challenges arise for researchers examining these cell-microenvironment interactions: (1) Tissue microenvironments are combinatorial and dynamic systems, and in pathological situations like cancer, microenvironments become infamously chaotic and highly heterogeneous. (2) Cells exhibit heterogeneous phenotypes, and even rare cell subpopulations can have a substantial role in tissue homeostasis and disease progression. This chapter discusses technical aspects relevant to dissecting cell-microenvironment interaction using the Microenvironment Microarray (MEMA) platform, which is a cell-based functional high-throughput screening of interactions between cells and combinatorial microenvironments at the single-cell level. MEMA provides insights into how cell phenotype and function is elicited by microenvironmental components. In this chapter, we describe automating a high-throughput and high-resolution imaging pipeline for single-cell-resolution analysis.

    Abstract Background: A challenge in human mammary epithelial cell (HMEC) culture is sustaining the representation of competing luminal, myoepithelial, and progenitor lineages over time. As cells replicate in culture, myoepithelial cells come to dominate the composition of the culture with serial passaging. This drift in composition presents a challenge for studying luminal and progenitor cells, which are prospective cells of origin for most breast cancer subtypes.
    Methods: We demonstrate the use of postconfluent culture on HMECs. Postconfluent culture entails culturing HMECs for 2-5 weeks without passaging but maintaining frequent feedings in low-stress M87A culture medium. In contrast, standard HMEC culture entails enzymatic subculturing every 3-5 days to maintain subconfluent density.
    Results: When compared to standard HMEC culture, postconfluent culture yields increased proportions of luminal cells and c-Kit+ progenitor cells. Postconfluent cultures develop a distinct multilayered morphology with individual cells showing decreased physical deformability as compared to cells in standard culture. Gene expression analysis of postconfluent cells shows increased expression of lineage-specific markers and extracellular matrix components.
    Conclusions: Postconfluent culture is a novel, useful strategy for altering the lineage composition of HMECs, by increasing the proportional representation of luminal and progenitor cells. We speculate that postconfluent culture creates a microenvironment with cellular composition closer to the physiological state and eases the isolation of scarce cell subtypes. As such, postconfluent culture is a valuable tool for researchers using HMECs for breast cancer research.

    Abstract There is a plethora of recognized risk factors for breast cancer (BC) with poorly understood or speculative biological mechanisms. The lack of prevention options highlights the importance of understanding the mechanistic basis of cancer susceptibility and finding new targets for breast cancer prevention. Until now, we have understood risk and cancer susceptibility primarily through the application of epidemiology and assessing outcomes in large human cohorts. Relative risks are assigned to various human behaviors and conditions, but in general the associations are weak and there is little understanding of mechanism. Aging is by far the greatest risk factor for BC, and there are specific forms of inherited genetic risk that are well-understood to cause BC. We propose that bringing focus to the biology underlying these forms of risk will illuminate biological mechanisms of BC susceptibility.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are increasingly understood to play a central role in tumor progression. Growing evidence implicates tumor microenvironments as a source of signals that regulate or even impose CSC states on tumor cells. This review explores points of integration for microenvironment-derived signals that are thought to regulate CSCs in carcinomas.
    Recent findings: CSC states are directly regulated by the mechanical properties and extra cellular matrix (ECM) composition of tumor microenvironments that promote CSC growth and survival, which may explain some modes of therapeutic resistance. CSCs sense mechanical forces and ECM composition through integrins and other cell surface receptors, which then activate a number of intracellular signaling pathways. The relevant signaling events are dynamic and context-dependent.
    Summary: CSCs are thought to drive cancer metastases and therapeutic resistance. Cells that are in CSC states and more differentiated states appear to be reversible and conditional upon the components of the tumor microenvironment. Signals imposed by tumor microenvironment are of a combinatorial nature, ultimately representing the integration of multiple physical and chemical signals. Comprehensive understanding of the tumor microenvironment-imposed signaling that maintains cells in CSC states may guide future therapeutic interventions.

    Abstract Yap and Taz are co-transcription factors that have been implicated in the development of many cancers. Here, we review the literature that analyzes the function of Yap/Taz in normal breast and breast cancer contexts. Our review of the literature suggests that that Yap and Taz are involved in breast cancer and Taz, in particular, is involved in the triple negative subtype. Nevertheless, the precise contexts in which Yap/Taz contribute to specific breast cancer phenotypes remains unclear. Indeed, Yap/Taz dysregulation acts differentially and in multiple epithelial cell types during early breast cancer progression. We propose Yap/Taz activation promotes breast cancer phenotypes in breast cancer precursor cells. Further, Yap dysregulation as a result of aging in breast tissue may result in microenvironments that increase the fitness of breast cancer precursor cells relative to the normal epithelia. <PE-FRONTEND>.
