<span style="font-size:x-large;">''Interaction of natural killer cells with infected cancer cell population: microfluidics-based experiments and single-cell-level mathematical modeling''</span>
 
 
===Concepts and objectives===
The aim of the project is to analyze interactions of natural killer (NK) cells with an infected epithelial cell population at the single-cell resolution. We investigate two respiratory epithelial cell lines: cancerous and non-cancerous, and two respiratory viruses: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A virus (IAV). Our main objectives are as follows:
 
* Elucidation of the impact of the NK cell-induced cell death on the dynamics of propagation and eradication of RSV and IAV infections.
 
* Determination of the potential of NK cells to induce immunogenic cell death in infected cells, that can potentially activate adaptive immune response.
 
* Development of a droplet-based microfluidic system to perform experiments on co-cultures of epithelial and NK cells (living in droplets), that will enable data acquisition at the single-cell resolution.
 
* Development of a mathematical model capturing interactions of NK cells with an infected cell population at the single-cell resolution.

===Technology===
With our collaborators from SINTEF AS we investigate the performance of the thermoplastic material PMP in microfluidic devices for organ-on-a-chip and long-term cell cultivation on chip applications. The assessment includes investigating cell adherence and proliferation, material suitability for confocal microscopy, compatibility with common chemicals, device fabrication, and most importantly assessment of gas permeability for oxygen supply during 4 days of cell culturing.

===Cele projektu===
Celem projektu jest analiza oddziaływań komórek “Naturalnych Zabójców” (ang. Natural Killer, NK) z zakażonymi rakowymi komórkami nabłonka płuc na poziomie pojedynczych komórek. Badamy dwie linie komórek nabłonka oddechowego, z których jedna ma pochodzenie nowotworowe oraz dwa wirusy: syncytialny wirus nabłonka oddechowego (RSV) oraz wirus grypy typu A (IAV). Nasze główne zadania badawcze są następujące:
 
* wyjaśnienie wpływu cytotoksyczności komórek NK wobec zakażonych komórek na dynamikę rozprzestrzeniania się oraz eliminacji infekcji wirusami RSV i IAV;
 
* ustalenie potencjału komórek NK do indukowania w zakażonych komórkach tzw. immunogennej śmierci komórkowej zdolnej do aktywacji mechanizmów nabytej obrony odpornościowej;
 
* rozwój systemu mikrofluidyki kropelkowej przeznaczonej prowadzenia doświadczeń na kokulturach komórek nabłonkowych i komórek NK, który pozwoli na zbieranie danych na poziomie poszczególnych komórek;
 
* rozwój modelu matematycznego opisującego interakcje komórek NK z zainfekowaną populacją komórek nabłonkowych, na poziomie pojedynczych komórek.

===Technologia===
Wraz z naszymi współpracownikami z SINTEF AS badamy działanie termoplastycznego materiału PMP w urządzeniach mikroprzepływowych do organ-on-a-chip i długoterminowej hodowli komórek na chipach. Ocena obejmuje badanie przylegania i proliferacji komórek, przydatność materiału do mikroskopii konfokalnej, zgodność z powszechnie stosowanymi substancjami chemicznymi, wytwarzanie urządzeń i, co najważniejsze, ocenę przepuszczalności gazu dla dostarczania tlenu podczas 4 dni hodowli komórek.

Mechanistic aspects and spatial effects in cell signalling

within the TEAM Programme sponsored by the Foundation for Polish Science, 2009–2013


Concepts and objectives

The leading aim of the project is to identify and study the turning points in molecular pathways of immune response and cancer, in which the single cell fate, understood as a choice between apoptosis, senescence, proliferation, differentiation or cell cycle arrest, is decided. As a model molecular pathways we will consider these related to innate and adaptive immune response and cancer, in which we have expertise. The project will be realized both by means of numerical simulations and theoretical analysis.

Financed topics

  1. Theoretical modeling and experimental analysis of regulatory pathways connected with innate immune response. The candidates are expected to have laboratory experience or/and knowledge in the field of mathematical biology, stochastic processes and differential equations.

  1. Evolution and co-evolution of genes (and their regulatory regions) related to IRF3 and NF-κB pathway. Such analysis will be helpful in analysis of crosstalk of IRF3 and NF-κB pathways. The evolution of genes is related to their biological importance, typically well conserved genes play key roles in the regulatory pathway. Transcription factors IRF3 and NF-κB play central role in innate immune responses. The student will have to learn BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) and how to use genome databases and clustering tools.

  1. Mutations of p53 pathways genes in various types of cancer. Various types of cancers are associated with specific mutations of p53, Mdm2, Akt, PTEN and other regulating genes. The students will have to search databases to find the mutations (or deletions) and analyze what is their potential impact on dynamics of p53 regulatory pathways we consider.

Interaction of natural killer cells with infected cancer cell population: microfluidics-based experiments and single-cell-level mathematical modeling


Concepts and objectives

The aim of the project is to analyze interactions of natural killer (NK) cells with an infected epithelial cell population at the single-cell resolution. We investigate two respiratory epithelial cell lines: cancerous and non-cancerous, and two respiratory viruses: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A virus (IAV). Our main objectives are as follows:

  • Elucidation of the impact of the NK cell-induced cell death on the dynamics of propagation and eradication of RSV and IAV infections.
  • Determination of the potential of NK cells to induce immunogenic cell death in infected cells, that can potentially activate adaptive immune response.
  • Development of a droplet-based microfluidic system to perform experiments on co-cultures of epithelial and NK cells (living in droplets), that will enable data acquisition at the single-cell resolution.
  • Development of a mathematical model capturing interactions of NK cells with an infected cell population at the single-cell resolution.

Technology

With our collaborators from SINTEF AS we investigate the performance of the thermoplastic material PMP in microfluidic devices for organ-on-a-chip and long-term cell cultivation on chip applications. The assessment includes investigating cell adherence and proliferation, material suitability for confocal microscopy, compatibility with common chemicals, device fabrication, and most importantly assessment of gas permeability for oxygen supply during 4 days of cell culturing.

Oddziaływanie komórek NK z populacją zainfekowanych komórek rakowych: eksperymenty w urządzeniach mikroprzepływowych i modelowanie matematyczne na poziomie pojedynczych komórek


Cele projektu

Celem projektu jest analiza oddziaływań komórek “Naturalnych Zabójców” (ang. Natural Killer, NK) z zakażonymi rakowymi komórkami nabłonka płuc na poziomie pojedynczych komórek. Badamy dwie linie komórek nabłonka oddechowego, z których jedna ma pochodzenie nowotworowe oraz dwa wirusy: syncytialny wirus nabłonka oddechowego (RSV) oraz wirus grypy typu A (IAV). Nasze główne zadania badawcze są następujące:

  • wyjaśnienie wpływu cytotoksyczności komórek NK wobec zakażonych komórek na dynamikę rozprzestrzeniania się oraz eliminacji infekcji wirusami RSV i IAV;
  • ustalenie potencjału komórek NK do indukowania w zakażonych komórkach tzw. immunogennej śmierci komórkowej zdolnej do aktywacji mechanizmów nabytej obrony odpornościowej;
  • rozwój systemu mikrofluidyki kropelkowej przeznaczonej prowadzenia doświadczeń na kokulturach komórek nabłonkowych i komórek NK, który pozwoli na zbieranie danych na poziomie poszczególnych komórek;
  • rozwój modelu matematycznego opisującego interakcje komórek NK z zainfekowaną populacją komórek nabłonkowych, na poziomie pojedynczych komórek.
