<h4>Introduction</h4>Some patients with breast cancer develop local recurrence after breast-conservation surgery despite postoperative radiotherapy, whereas others remain free of local recurrence even in the absence of radiotherapy. As clinical parameters are insufficient for identifying these two groups of patients, we investigated whether gene expression profiling would add further information.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed gene expression analysis (oligonucleotide arrays, 26,824 reporters) on 1 ...[more]

Project description:Using Human WG CodeLink microarrays, we established the expression profiling of 26 LARC without metastasis to gain insight into the molecular signatures associated with response to treatment after CRT. The study initially included a total of 35 consecutive patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated at Virgen de las Nieves Hospital from 2008 until 2010. Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients, and the study protocol was approved by the local Clinical Research (Ethics) Committee. They were distributed in two subgroups following a histological classification of response to treatment. Pretherapeutic staging was performed, including complete medical history and physical evaluation, digital rectal examination, endorectal ultrasound, rigid rectoscopy, colonoscopy, PET/TC and chest x-ray. Tumor samples were prospectively obtained during the rectoscopy. All patients subsequently received a total dose of 50.4Gy of radiatio (28 fractions of 1.8Gy) associated with capecitabine or capecitabine and oxaliplatine. Standardized surgery was performed, including total mesorectal excision, after an interval of 8 weeks after chemoradiotherapy. Tumor response was assessed in surgical specimen by semi-quantitative pathological examination (regression grade) including UICC stage. Histopathological tumor regression was graded based on the semiquantitative 5 point tumor regression grading (TRG) system: TRG1 or a TRG2 scores were considered Responders, whereas TRG3, TRG4, and TRG5 scores were classified as Non-Responders. In addition, the tumor regression or radiotherapy effects were assessed by positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET). Tumor samples of LARC were collected from 35 patients. Nine patients were finally excluded due to the poor quality of the RNA or contradictory results of MandardM-BM-4s criteria and histopathological downstaging, resulting a total of 26 patients. Complete clinical data regarding, age, sex, stage of disease, response to therapy, and overall survival from 26 patients (10 responders and 16 non-responders) was provided in the sample characteristics field. CRT: Chemoradiation; Cap: Capecitabine; Capox: Capecitabine and Oxaliplatine; cTN: clinical stage; Surg: surgical technique; LAR: Low anterior resection; APR: Abdmino-perineal resection; HART: Hartmann, TRG: Tumor Regression Grade; Downst: Downstaging; Downs: downsizing, Resp: response, CPR: complete pathologic response

Project description:Septic patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) often develop multiple organ failure including persistent skeletal muscle dysfunction which results in the patientâs protracted recovery process. We have demonstrated that muscle mitochondrial enzyme activities are impaired in septic ICU patients resulting in decreased cellular energy which will interfere with muscle function and metabolism. Here we use detailed phenotyping and genomics to elucidate mechanisms leading to these impairments. Methodology/Principle Findings Utilising biopsy material from seventeen patients and ten age-matched controls we demonstrate that neither mitochondrial in vivo protein synthesis nor expression of mitochondrial genes are compromised. Indeed, there was partial activation of the mitochondrial biogenesis pathway involving NRF2?/GABP and its target genes TFAM, TFB1M and TFB2M yet clearly this failed to maintain mitochondrial function. We therefore utilised transcript profiling and pathway analysis of ICU patient skeletal muscle to generate insight into the molecular defects driving loss of muscle function and metabolic homeostasis. Gene ontology analysis of Affymetrix analysis demonstrated substantial loss of muscle specific genes, a global oxidative stress response related to most probably cytokine signalling, altered insulin related signalling and a substantial overlap between patients and muscle wasting/inflammatory animal models. MicroRNA 21 processing appeared defective suggesting that post-transcriptional protein synthesis regulation is altered by disruption of tissue microRNA expression. Finally, we were able to demonstrate that the phenotype of skeletal muscle in ICU patients is not merely one of inactivity, it appears to be an actively remodelling tissue, influenced by several mediators, all of which may be open to manipulation with the aim to improve clinical outcome. Conclusions/Significance This first combined protein and transcriptome based analysis of human skeletal muscle obtained from septic patients demonstrated that losses of mitochondria and muscle mass are accompanied by sustained protein synthesis (anabolic process) while dysregulation of transcription programmes appears to fail to compensate for increased damage and proteolysis. Our analysis identified both validated and novel clinically tractable targets to manipulate these failing processes and pursuit of these could lead to new potential treatments.
