Expression data from breast cancer FNA biopsies from patients (US samples)

ABSTRACT: This is Phase II Trial of 4courses of 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide follwed by 4 additional courses of weekly docetaxel and capecitabine administered as Preoperative Therapy for Patients with Locally Advanced Breast Cancer, Stages II and III by US oncology (PROTOCOL 02-103) We performed gene set analysis (GSA) using functionally annotated gene sets corresponding to almost all known biological processes in ER-positive/HER2negative and ER-negative/HER2-negative breast cancer, respectively. Pre-treatment FNA from primary tumors were obtained and RNA extracted and hybridized to afymetrix microarrays according to manufacturer protocol.

<h4>Background</h4>We hypothesized that distinct biological processes might be associated with prognosis and chemotherapy sensitivity in the different types of breast cancers.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed gene set analyses with BRB-ArrayTools statistical software including 2331 functionally annotated gene sets (ie, lists of genes that correspond to a particular biological pathway or biochemical function) assembled from Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and Gene Ontology databases corresponding to almost ...[more]

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived human hepatocyte-like cells (iHeps) could provide a powerful tool for studying the mechanisms underlying human liver development and disease, testing the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals across different patients (i.e. personalized medicine), and enabling cell-based therapies in the clinic. However, current in vitro protocols that rely upon growth factors and extracellular matrices (ECM) alone yield iHeps with low levels of liver functions relative to adult primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). Moreover, these low hepatic functions in iHeps are difficult to maintain for prolonged times (weeks to months) in culture. Here, we engineered a micropatterned co-culture (iMPCC) platform in a multi-well format that, in contrast to conventional confluent cultures, significantly enhanced the functional maturation and longevity of iHeps in culture for 4 weeks in vitro when benchmarked against multiple donors of PHHs. In particular, iHeps were micropatterned onto collagen-coated domains of empirically optimized dimensions, surrounded by 3T3-J2 murine embryonic fibroblasts, and then sandwiched with a thin layer of ECM gel (Matrigel™). We assessed iHep maturity via global gene expression profiles, hepatic polarity, secretion of albumin and urea, basal CYP450 activities, phase-II conjugation, drug-mediated CYP450 induction, and drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Conclusion: Controlling both homotypic interactions between iHeps and heterotypic interactions with stromal fibroblasts significantly matures iHep functions and maintains them for several weeks in culture. In the future, iMPCCs could prove useful for drug screening, studying molecular mechanisms underlying iHep differentiation, modeling liver diseases, and integration into human-on-a-chip systems being designed to assess multi-organ responses to compounds. We used Affymetrix microarrays to profile the global gene expression of co-culture stabilized iHeps (iMPCCs) relative to freshly isolated and co-culture stabilized primary human hepatocytes (2 donors). To assess the transcriptomic stability of iHeps in iMPCCs, RNA was extracted following 9 and 21 days of culture for hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. The hepatic maturation state of iHeps was assessed by comparing gene expression against microarrays containing data from two primary human hepatocyte donors, both following hepatocyte isolation (day 0) and after stabilization in the micropatterened co-culture platform (day 6 and day 42 MPCCs), as previously described.
