Radiation-induced gene translation profiles reveal tumor type and cancer specific components

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to compare the radiation-induced gene translation profiles generated from human tumor cell lines that are treated with radiation. Keywords: stimulus or stress design A panel of cell lines included 5 gliomas, 4 pancreatic carcinomas, 3 breast carcinomas and 2 non-small cell lung carcinomas. In addition, radiation-induced gene translation profiles were generated for 4 normal human cell lines: a skin fibroblast (BJ), 2 lung fibroblasts (MRC5, MRC9) and mammary epithelial (MEC). Specifically, cell lines were exposed to 2 Gy or sham irradiated, polysome-bound RNA was isolated 6h later and subjected to microarray analyses. Each cell line was evaluated in biological replicates.

The microarray analysis of total cellular RNA is a common method used in the evaluation of radiation-induced gene expression. However, profiling the cellular transcriptome does not take into account posttranscriptional processes that affect gene expression. To better define the genes whose expression is influenced by ionizing radiation, we used polysome-bound RNA to generate gene translation profiles for a series of tumor and normal cell lines. Cell lines were exposed to 2 Gy, polysome-bound RNA ...[more]

Project description:CpG DNA interacts with TLR9 to stimulate a broadly protective innate immune response. This study uses bioinformatic network analysis of microarray data to identify the genes and regulatory networks triggered by CpG ODN. CpG treatment induced significant gene up-regulation (p < 0.00001) in the spleen within 30 min, peaking with the activation of >500 genes at 3 hr, and declining progressively thereafter. There were reproducible changes in the pattern of gene expression over time. This was mediated by a small group of “major inducers” (IL1A, IL1B, TNF, IFNG) whose activity was modulated by several “minor inducers” (NFKB1, IL6, IL15, IL18, STAT1, STAT2). The subsequent decline in gene activation was mediated by “suppressors” (MYC, IL1RN, SOCS1, SOCS3, NFKBIA, IL10, FOS) that actively down-regulated gene expression and targeted both major and minor inducers. Thus, the regulation of TLR9 dependent gene activation involves multiple waves of stimulation mediated by a small number of “major” and “minor” inducers followed by the active inhibition of gene expression by “suppressors”. Keywords: time series design Endotoxin-free phosphorothioate ODN were synthesized at the CBER core facility (FDA, Bethesda, MD) as previously described. Mice were injected intraperitoneal (i.p.) with 400 ìg of an equimolar mixture of CpG ODNs 1555 (GCTAGACGTTAGCGT) and 1466 (TCAACGTTGA) or control ODNs 1612 (GCTAGATGTTAGCGT) and 1471 (TCAAGCTTGA). Spleens were surgically removed from mice under sterile conditions after 0.5, 1, 3, 9, 24 hr, and/or 72 hr, diced, and stored at -800 C in RNAlater (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Data from 4 independent experiments/time point and 4-6 untreated controls were used for all statistical analyses. Reproducibility was established by comparing gene expression profiles among similarly treated mice from independent experiments in mAdb (referenced above). Expression analyses were performed using BRB ArrayTools (Biometric Research Branch, NCI). Data were background corrected, flagged values were removed, spots in which both signals were <100 were filtered out, ratios were log base 2 transformed and lowess intensity dependent normalization was used to adjust for differences in labeling intensities of the Cy3 and Cy5 dyes (Yang et al., 2002). Analysis was restricted to genes present on >70% of the arrays after filtering. The gene expression profile of all treatment groups was compared to that of the control groups.

Project description:A novel assay was developed for Daudi cells in which the antiviral (AV) and antiproliferative (AP) activities of interferon (IFN) can be measured simultaneously. Using this novel assay, conditions allowing IFN AV protection but no growth inhibition were identified and selected. Daudi cells were treated under these conditions, and gene expression microarray analyses were performed. The results of the analysis identified 25 genes associated with IFN-alpha AV activity. Upregulation of 23 IFN-induced genes was confirmed by using reverse transcription-PCR. Of 25 gene products, 17 were detected by Western blotting at 24 h. Of the 25 genes, 10 have not been previously linked to AV activity of IFN-alpha. The most upregulated gene was IFIT3 (for IFN-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 3). The results from antibody neutralizing experiments suggested an association of the identified genes with IFN-alpha AV activity. This association was strengthened by results from IFIT3-small interfering RNA transfection experiments showing decreased expression of IFIT3 and a reduction in the AV activity induced by IFN-alpha. Overexpression of IFIT3 resulted in a decrease of virus titer. Transcription of AV genes after the treatment of cells with higher concentrations of IFN having an AP effect on Daudi cells suggested pleiotropic functions of identified gene products. Gene expression was initially measured in four Daudi cell groups (3 x 10(6) in 10 ml of RPMI) treated for 24 h at IFN concentrations selected to allow comparison of gene activity in AV activity environments with environments in which no AV activity was observed. These treatment groups were: (i) 0.0036 ng of IFN-alpha2c/ml (n=5) (allowing AV activity only); (ii) 0.00036 ng of IFN-alpha2c/ml (n=5) (no AV observed); (iii) 0.036 ng of HY-2/ml (n=3) (allowing AV activity); and (iv) 0.0036 ng of HY-2/ml (n=3) (no AV observed). To refine the list of genes associated with AV activity, samples showing AP phenotype (achieved by treatment with IFN-alpha2c [0.36 ng/ml] (n=3) or HY-2 [36 ng/ml]) (n=3) were compared to identically treated samples manipulated to display the AV phenotype through subsequent neutralization with anti-IFNAR1 MAb 64.10 (1 ug/ml) (n=6). Further analysis of gene expression profiles after 6 h of incubation helped indicate genes associated with early roles in IFN-induced AV mechanisms (n=6).

Project description:Administration of tamoxifen (TAM) as breast cancer adjuvant therapy is associated with a 50% reduction in breast cancer risk and an increase in endometrial cancer risk. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we documented TAM-induced gene expression changes in cultured normal human mammary epithelial cell (NHMEC) strains (numbered 5, 16 and 40) established from tissue taken at reduction mammoplasty from three different individuals. Cells exposed to 0 and 10 uM TAM for 48 hours were evaluated for survival, TAM-DNA adduct formation by TAM-DNA chemiluminescence immunoassay (CIA), and gene expression changes using DNA-oligonucleotide microarray and real time reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR). At 48 hr, cells exposed to 10 uM TAM were 78% viable, respectively, and there were no measurable TAM-DNA adducts (limit of detection [LOD] = 0.3 adducts/10^8 nucleotides). For microarray analysis, RNA was extracted from cells exposed on three occasions to 10 uM TAM and the corresponding oligonucleotide probes were labeled with fluorescent dyes and hybridized to NCI microarrays (>20,000 human genes). Expression changes of > 3-fold were considered significant, and by these criteria, thirteen genes were up-regulated and one was down-related in NHMEC strain 16, seventeen genes were up-regulated in strain 05, and eleven genes were up-regulated in strain and 40. Elements that were up-regulated in all three cell strains included several interferon-induced genes (IFITM1, IFIT1, IFNA1, MXI and GIP3), and a potassium ion channel (KCNJ1). No significant expression changes were found for genes related to estrogen or xenobiotic metabolism. RT-PCR revealed TAM-induced up-regulation of the five genes of interest, and interferon á (IFNA1), in all three NHMEC strains, with the exception of GIP3 and MX1, which were unchanged in strain 40. The magnitude of TAM-induced up-regulation ranked: strain 16 > strain 05> strain 40. The consistent induction of interferon-related genes in all three NHMEC strains suggests that, in addition to hormonal effects, TAM exposure may enhance immune response, through interferon induction, in normal breast tissue. RNA was extracted from three cell strains (NHMEC 98016, 98040 and 99005) and exposed on three separate occasions to 10 uM TAM. Comparisons were made using 16 arrays with 8 dye swaps for cell strain NHMEC 99005, 9 arrays with 4 dye swaps for NHMEC 98016, and 12 arrays with 6 dye swaps for NHMEC 98040.

Project description:HGF has been reported to have both positive and negative effects on carcinogenesis. Here we show that the loss of c-Met signaling in hepatocytes enhanced rather than suppressed the early stages of chemical hepatocarcinogenesis. c-Met conditional knockout mice (c-metfl/fl, AlbCre+/-; MetLivKO) treated with N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) developed significantly more and bigger tumors and with a shorter latency as compared with control (wt/wt, AlbCre+/-; Cre-Ctrl) mice. Accelerated tumor development was associated with increased rate of cell proliferation and prolonged activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. MetLivKO livers treated with DEN also displayed elevated lipid peroxidation, decreased ratio of reduced glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and upregulation of superoxide dismutase 1 (Sod1) and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), all consistent with increased oxidative stress. Likewise, gene expression profiling performed at 3 and 5 months after DEN treatment revealed upregulation of genes associated with cell proliferation and stress responses in c-Met mutant livers. The negative effects of c-Met-deficiency were reversed by chronic oral administration of anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC). NAC blocked the EGFR activation and reduced the DEN-initiated hepatocarcinogenesis to the levels of Cre-Ctrl mice. These results argue that intact HGF/c-Met signaling is essential for maintaining normal redox homeostasis in the liver and has tumor suppressor effect(s) during the early stages of DEN-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Keywords: compound treatment design To address a role for c-Met in liver carcinogenesis, we employed a hepatocyte specific c-Met conditional knockout mouse model generated in our laboratory. Mice received a single intraperitoneal injection of 10 µg/g body weight of N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA) at 14 days of age. Livers were examined at 3 and 5 months after DEN injection. Expression profiling was conducted on five animals from each genotype per time point. Total RNA pooled from five wild-type B6/129 strain mouse livers was used as universal hybridization reference. All experiments were performed in duplicates following a dye-swapping design. Arrays were scanned with a GenePix 4000A scanner (Axon Instruments Ltd., Burlingame, CA) in a way to achieve optimal signal intensity at both channels with less than 1% saturated spots. After excluding the invalid features, all arrays were normalized to the 50th percentile of the median signal intensity using the mAdb data analysis suite (http://nciarray.nci.nih.gov/). Unsupervised cluster analysis was performed with the Cluster and TreeView programs (http://rana.lbl.gov/EisenSoftware.htm). The BRB ArrayTools V3.3.0 software package (Biometric Research Branch, National Cancer Institute; http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html) was used for the supervised comparison. Differentially expressed genes were selected using a univariate 2-sample t-test (P<0.001) with a random variance model (15). Functional classification of the significant genes was based on the Gene Ontology (GO) annotations (www.geneontology.org).
