Gene expression profiling of tumor-adjacent histologically normal lung tissues from lung SCC patients

ABSTRACT: Tumor-adjacent noncancerous tissues often exhibited abnormalities on molecular levels, which is described as field effect of cancerization. Accumulated evidence demonstrated that filed effect may also play important role in cancer progression. In the present study, we found that the gene expression profile in noncancerous lung tissues adjacent to lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was significantly associated with regional lymph node status of patients. Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) showed that 121 genes were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (delta=0.75, FDR=0.069). Interestingly, all of the significant genes were up-regulated in the lymph node positive samples. For these genes, the most significant biological GO terms were extracellular structure organization, cell adhesion, regulation of cell motion/migration, and vessel development, etc, which were also involved in EMT process supported by another experiment in vitro. Tumor-adjacent histologically normal lung tissues were collected from 60 primary lung SCC patients, of whom 34 (56.7%) suffered regional lymph node metastasis. Gene expression profiling analysis of these samples was performed using Agilent 4x44K human whole genome gene expression microarray (G4112F).

Project description:Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular basis of tumorigenesis and regional lymph node metastasis in LSCC, and provide a set of genes that may be useful for the development of novel diagnostic markers and/or more effective therapeutic strategies. Methods: A total number of 10 patients who underwent surgery for primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were recruited for microarray analysis. LSCC tissues compared with corresponding adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were analysed by Illumina mRNA microarrays,and LSCC tissues with regional lymph node metastasis and LSCC tissues without regional lymph node metastasis were analyzed in the same manner.The most frequently differently expressed genes screened by microarrays were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 42 patients diagnosed for LSCC . Results: Analysed by Illumina mRNA microarrays,there were 361 genes significantly related to tumorigenesis while 246 genes significantly related to regional lymph node metastasis in LSCC. We found that the six genes (CDK1,CDK2,CDK4,MCM2,MCM3,MCM4) were most frequently differently expressed functional genes related to tumorigenesis while eIF3a and RPN2 were most frequently differently expressed functional genes related to regional lymph node metastasis in LSCC. The expressions of these genes were also validated by qRT-PCR. Conclusions: The research revealed a gene expression signature of tumorigenesis and regional lymph node metastasis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.Of the total, the deregulation of several genes (CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, EIF3a and RPN2) were potentially associated with disease development and progression. The result will contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis of LSCC and help to improve diagnosis and treatment.
