Focal Adhesion In Vivo

with Dr. Minna Roh-Johnson

Understanding how melanoma cells migrate requires in vivo study.

Central to the issue is focal adhesion, or how cancer cells attach to an underlying substrate. Despite years of research, the organization of these structures is still unclear.

Zebrafish earn their stripes

Dr. Roh-Johnson’s lab has developed an innovative system in zebrafish larvae that allows them to observe the formation of focal adhesion structures in highly migratory melanoma cells on the surface of the skin.

Tracking melanoma in zebrafish

They have used this system to dissect the composition and dynamics of focal adhesion structures and have identified unique properties of cancer cells in their native environments. This deeper understanding of focal adhesion formation is a positive step toward therapies to prevent it.

Brain Tumor Microenvironment Spatial Biology with High-Throughput Hyperplexed Imaging

Dr. Spencer S. Watson, a Research Fellow in Professor Joyce’s lab, published an article investigating how the brain tumor microenvironment responds to radiotherapy, not just in terms of changes in different cell populations, but also regarding how the cells spatially organize themselves. In order to do this, the team worked to create a new multiplex workflow, called Hyperplexed Immunofluorescence Imaging (HIFI), to study the spatial biology of tumors before and after treatment.

7 Color Multiplex Immunofluorescence Protocol for Spatial Biology with a Digital Slide Scanner

Dr. Caroline Bouzin is the facility manager of the 2IP Imaging Platform at the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Research at the UCLouvain, Brussels, Belgium. She has worked with oncologists and pulmonologists to fine-tune a protocol for customized mIF stainings on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples followed by data collection with the ZEISS Axioscan digital slide scanner. A combination of signal amplification (TSA) with carefully selected filtersets matched to a panel of seven fluorophores results in the fast generation of ready-to-analyze digital images without the need for image post-processing, such as spectral unmixing or tissue alignment. This workflow is equipping researchers in her facility for high-throughput, spatial biology analyses, such as the immune microenvironment of tumors.
