Cell-Projection Pumping of Fibroblast Contents into Osteosarcoma SAOS-2 Cells Correlates with Increased SAOS-2 Proliferation and Migration, as well as Altered Morphology

We earlier reported that cell-projection pumping transfers fibroblast contents to cancer cells and this alters the cancer cell phenotype. Here, we report on single-cell tracking of time lapse recordings from co-cultured fluorescent fibroblasts and SAOS-2 osteosarcoma cells, tracking 5201 cells acros...

description We earlier reported that cell-projection pumping transfers fibroblast contents to cancer cells and this alters the cancer cell phenotype. Here, we report on single-cell tracking of time lapse recordings from co-cultured fluorescent fibroblasts and SAOS-2 osteosarcoma cells, tracking 5201 cells across 7 experiments. The fluorescent lipophilic marker DiD was used to label fibroblast organelles and to trace the transfer of fibroblast cytoplasm into SAOS-2 cells. We related SAOS-2 phenotypic change to levels of fluorescence transfer from fibroblasts to SAOS-2 cells, as well as what we term ‘compensated fluorescence’, that numerically projects mother cell fluorescence post-mitosis into daughter cells. The comparison of absolute with compensated fluorescence allowed us to deduct if the phenotypic effects in mother SAOS-2 cells were inherited by their daughters. SAOS-2 receipt of fibroblast fluorescence correlated by Kendall’s tau with cell-profile area and without evidence of persistence in daughter cells (median tau = 0.51, p < 0.016); negatively and weakly with cell circularity and with evidence of persistence (median tau = −0.19, p < 0.05); and very weakly with cell migration velocity and without evidence of persistence (median tau = 0.01, p < 0.016). In addition, mitotic SAOS-2 cells had higher rates of prior fluorescence uptake (median = 64.9 units/day) than non-dividing cells (median = 35.6 units/day, p < 0.016) and there was no evidence of persistence post-mitosis. We conclude that there was an appreciable impact of cell-projection pumping on cancer cell phenotype relevant to cancer histopathological diagnosis, clinical spread and growth, with most effects being ‘reset’ by cancer cell mitosis.
