SI Figure 6

Fig. 6. Heatmaps of GEM data showing the expression of genes known to be downstream of oncogenes introduced into MSC. When E7 is expressed, genes downstream of pRB inactivation are expressed, including E2F-responsive and DNA replication genes. Genes which are down-regulated when p53 is inactivated are shown when E6 is expressed. Genes affected when ST is expressed are shown, as well as genes associated with the Ras pathway. These data support the validity of the array experiments. 0-5 indicates parental MSC (0), and each subsequent step in transformation. Red indicates up-regulation, and blue down-regulation from the mean.





SI Figure 7

Fig. 7. Heatmaps show the effect of MSC transformation on selected genes involved in apoptotic, angiogenic, immune and metastatic pathways obtained by performing array experiments in triplicate using Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 chips. Full gene lists are available in SI Table 4. Lists for each 'hallmark' were compiled from the Affymetrix (www.affymetrix.com) and SuperArray (www.superarray.com) databases, and expression data analyzed for each list separately. As expected, anti-apoptotic pathways are up-, and pro-apoptotic pathways down-regulated during transformation, especially after the introduction of E6 (p53 inactivation). The up-regulation of angiogenic genes, including angiopoietin 2 (ANGPT2), ephrin B2 (EFNB2) and fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) (red arrows), is associated with the introduction of ST (c-Myc stabilization). ST and c-Myc are known to down-regulate MHC class I molecules (1, 2) and we show here a striking down-regulation of both class I and II molecules (blue and gray arrows respectively) after the introduction of ST. GEM also shows genes involved in invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. Of note, ezrin (villin 2, VIL2, black arrow), associated with the metastatic ability and poor prognosis of osteosarcoma (3), is highly up-regulated after the introduction of ST, linking ezrin transcription to PP2A inactivation. This could provide another mechanism for promotion of tumor metastasis by c-Myc.





SI Figure 8

Fig. 8. (A) Overall expression of MSC markers SH2, SH4 and Stro-1 was maintained during the step-wise introduction of oncogenic 'hits'. Markers considered to be negative for MSC, such as CD45 and CD34, were not expressed in 5 'hits' MSC. Control cells are also shown (black). (B) Lipid accumulation during adipogenic differentiation (+) was assessed with Oil Red O staining and cells were visualized by light microscopy (1x or 2x). MSC transduced with 4 and 5 'hits' maintained their ability to undergo differentiation toward fat (adipocytes). Small fat droplets (arrows) can be seen after the introduction of exogenous genes (4 and 5 'hits'). Control cells, where adipogenesis was not induced (-), are also shown. Adipogenic markers are also expressed during MSC transformation. Transcription factors involved in adipogenesis such as aP2, C/EBPa and PPARg were detected by RT-PCR although there was less expression of C/EBPa and PPARg in the 4 and 5 'hits' than in parental (0) MSC. (C) Chondrogenic differentiation in 5 'hits' MSC was assessed with toluidine blue staining. Pellet size (left) and a section of stained pellet (right) are shown in cells in which chondrogenesis was (+) or was not (-) induced. The pellet-volume ratio in 5 'hits' MSC (±) is shown. Pellet volume was calculated using the standard formula: a x b2 ´ 0.52 where a is the longest diameter and b is the shortest diameter. Pellet sections were photographed at x100 magnification.





SI Figure 9

Fig. 9. Schematic representation of genes involved in glycolysis, the PPP, the TCA cycle and nucleotide biosynthesis (a representative probe for each gene was chosen). This figure was based on GenMAPP software (4), Gladstone Institutes, UCSF. Red indicates up-regulation and blue down-regulation from the mean expression. For each gene a heatmap strip summarizes the average of three different samples. Labels 0 to 5 above each heatmap strip show the different steps ('hits') used for transformation. In addition, we show four unsummarized heatmaps with all of the probes for each gene. The pathways for glycolysis and the TCA cycle show no overall significant change during progressive transformation (P = 0.2715 and P = 0.1157 respectively). However, the heatmaps for the PPP and nucleotide metabolism show a significant overall change (P = 0.0039 and P < 0.0001 respectively) during step-wise transformation. All probe-sets were included for the statistical analysis (see Supporting Materials and Methods).





SI Figure 10

Fig. 10. (A) Human fibroblast (HF) cell lines were named according to the number of steps or 'hits' introduced sequentially by retroviral transduction (0-5). Cells were probed by antibodies against introduced oncogenes or their downstream cellular targets after retroviral infection as previously described for MSC in Fig. 2B. (B) Anchorage-independent growth at different stages of HF transformation (1 and 5 'hits') is shown. (C) Tumor formation (arrows) in nude mice inoculated with 5 'hits' HF is also shown.

SI Materials and Methods

Adipogenic differentiation.

Briefly, cells were seeded at 25 ´ 103 cells per cm2 in Mesencult medium containing 10% serum supplemented with 1 ng ml-1 bFGF. One day postconfluence, adipogenic differentiation was induced via addition of medium without bFGF, supplemented with 1 mM dexamethasone, 500 mM IBMX, 200 mM indomethacin (all from Sigma) and 10 mg ml-1 insulin (Roche). The medium was changed every 2 days. Cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 30 min, washed and stained for 2 h with 0.06% Oil Red O dissolved in 60% triethyl phosphate. Excess dye was removed and cells were visualized by light microscopy.

For RT-PCR analysis, total RNA was extracted from differentiating MSC using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Sussex, U.K.). cDNA was synthesized from 0.1 mg total RNA using Superscript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen, Paisley, U.K.), and used as a template for PCR under the following conditions: 94°C for 2 min, (n) cycles of 94°C for 30 seconds, 55°C for 1 min, 72°C for 45 seconds, then a 72°C incubation for 10 min. Cycle number and primer sequences were:

PPARg: 5'-TTCAGAAATGCCTTGCAGTG-3' 5'-CACCTCTTTGCTCTGCTCCT-3' (28)x

C/EBPa: 5'-GAGGAGGGGAGAATTCTTGG-3' 5'-CCCTATGTTTCCACCCCTTT-3' (28)x

aP2: 5'-TGCAGCTTCCTTCTCACCTT-3' 5'-CATCCCCATTCACACTGATG-3' 25x

b-actin: 5'-CCAAGGCCAACCGCGAGAAGATGAC-3' 5'AGGGTACATGGTGGTGC CGCCAGAC-3' (25)x

Osteogenic differentiation.

Cells were seeded at 2 ´ 104 per cm2 and cultured in Mesencult medium containing 10% serum without bFGF, and supplemented with 10 mM b-glycerophosphate, 100 nM dexamethasone, and 50 mg ml-1 ascorbic acid. Medium was changed every 3 days and cells assessed for osteogenic differentiation after 14 days. Cells were fixed with 10% formalin/PBS for 10 min and stained with AS-MX phosphate alkaline phosphate solution with fast blue RR salt for 45 min. Finally, cells were rinsed in distilled H2O to remove excess dye.

Chondrogenic differentiation.

Cells (2.5 ´ 105) were suspended in 500 m l of chondrocyte differentiation medium (high glucose DMEM with 100 nM dexamethasone, 50 mg ml-1 ascorbate-2-phosphate, 40 mg ml-1 L-proline, 100 mg ml-1 sodium pyruvate, 50 mg ml-1 ITS+premix (Invitrogen: 6.25 mg ml-1 insulin, 6.25 mg ml-1 transferrin, 6.25 ng ml-1 selenious acid, 1.25 mg ml-1 BSA, 5.35 mg ml-1 linoleic acid), 500 ng ml-1 BMP6 (R&D systems) and 10 ng ml-1 TGFb3 (R&D systems)). The suspension was placed in a 15 ml falcon tube and centrifuged at 600 ´ g for 30 min. The cells formed a loose pellet at the bottom of the tube. After 4 days, and thereafter every 3 days, the medium was replaced. Pellet cultures were assessed for extracellular matrix production after 21 days. For toluidine blue staining, cell pellets from cartilage differentiation were fixed overnight at 4°C in 4% paraformaldehyde dissolved in 2X PBS. Fixed pellets were dehydrated by sequential ethanol and xylene treatment and finally embedded in paraffin wax. Wax sections were cut (5 mm), dewaxed and rehydrated with sequential xylene and ethanol incubations. Pellet sections were incubated for 45 seconds in toluidine blue stain (0.1% wt/vol toluidine blue dissolved in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer), and excess stain removed by distilled H2O washing. Sections were dehydrated by consecutive ethanol and xylene washes before mounting with DPX, and photographed at x100 magnification.

Tissue samples and array processing.

Gene expression microarrays were performed on each MSC cell line in triplicate (Supporting Fig. 6). All experiments with these cells used Affymetrix Hg U133 Plus 2.0 chip arrays. Five mouse tumors were also used for gene expression microarray analyses, but here we used Affymetrix Hg U133av2 chips to compare the expression profiles against those previously generated from 96 human mesenchymal tumors (1). RNA was extracted and cDNA probes labeled as previously described (1, 2) following the manufacturer's recommendation using an Affymetrix GeneChip Instrument System (see URL below).

Microarray Analysis.

Data analysis was carried out using the R statistical environment and programming language (3). We extensively used R software packages from Bioconductor (4), an open source bioinformatics resource. We used the 'affy' package written to handle Affymetrix data, and specifically the 'rma' algorithm for preprocessing, normalizing and calculation of expression values (5, 6). Heatmaps were created using the Cluster and Treeview software packages (7). For a comparison of MSC cell lines (Hg U133 Plus 2.0) with mouse tumors (Hg U133av2) we quantile normalized the expression values of the intersecting probesets after 'rma' preprocessing.

Multidimensional Scaling and Geneset Enrichment Analysis.

For comparison of mouse tumors with a sarcoma database (Hg U133av2) we used the classical MDS method (or principle coordinates method) and a subset of genes previously identified as a 'molecular fingerprint' for sarcoma (1). For gene enrichment analysis of metabolic pathways we calculated all probeset t-statistics between MSC and MSC 5 'hits'. We then resampled a set of t-statistics equal to the size of the test pathway 10000 times from the data. The p-value was calculated as the proportion of times the average resampling t-statistic was greater than the average pathway t-statistic. Note that all t-statistics were made positive to perform a two-sided significance test (8).
