CGH array profiles of melanoma cell lines

ABSTRACT: Dysfunction in type I interferon (IFN) signaling occurs in patients with stage II or more advanced cancer. After screening the effects of a panel of 12 melanoma cell lines on PBMCs of healthy volunteers of IFNalpha signal pathway, two groups of melanoma cell lines could be identified one with stronger suppression (low pSTAT-1 group) than the other (high pSTAT-1 group). Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) identified consistent amplification of 12q22-24 as a genomic marker for the immune suppressive melanoma cell lines. This region corresponded to higher transcription of the NOS1 gene located in that region in the low pSTAT1 group and NOS1 expression was identified as causal factor in melanoma induced immune suppression. Twelve melanoma cell lines were analyzed. Genomic DNA of the cell line sample was labeled with Cy5 and reference normal PBMC DNA was labeled with Cy3.

Project description:Copy number variant (CNV) analysis was performed on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) specimens (chromophobe, clear cell, oncocytoma, papillary type 1, papillary type 2) using high resolution arrays (1.85 million probes). RCC samples exhibited diverse genomic changes within and across tumor types ranging from 106 CNV segments in a clear cell specimen to 2238 CNV segments in a papillary type 2 specimen. Despite the genomic heterogeneity, distinct CNV segments were common within each of 4 tumor classifications: chromophobe (7 segments), clear cell (3 segments), oncocytoma (9 segments), and papillary type 2 (2 segments). Shared segments ranged from a 6.1 Kb deletion among oncocytomas to a 208.3 Kb deletion common to chromophobes. Among common tumor type-specific variations, chromophobe, clear cell and oncocytomas comprised exclusively non-coding DNA. No CNV regions were common to papillary type 1 specimens although there were 12 amplifications and 12 deletions in 5 of 6 samples. Three microRNAs and 12 mRNA genes had M-bM-^IM-% 98% of their coding region contained within CNV regions including multiple gene families (chromophobe: amylase 1A, 1B, 1C; oncocytoma: general transcription factor 2H2, 2B, 2C, 2D). Gene deletions involved in histone modification and chromatin remodeling affected individual subtypes (clear cell: SFMBT, SETD2; papillary type 2: BAZ1A) as well as the collective RCC group (KDM4C). The genomic amplifications/deletions identified in each renal tumor type represent potential diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers. Tissue samples were obtained from the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Tissue Bank (HSTB) using an honest broker system and according to IRB approved protocol #970480. Samples were acquired as surgical specimens, flash-frozen in a 1.8 ml cryotube (NalgeNunc, Inc., Rochester, NY) followed by immediate storage at -80C. Each tumor sample (n=27) was classified into one of 5 renal cancer subtypes (chromophobe: n=5, clear cell: n=5, oncocytoma: n=5, papillary type 1: n=6, papillary type 2: n=6) by consensus evaluation of correlative hematoxylin and eosin stained slides performed independently by 3 anatomical pathologists. The three pathologists also confirmed the absence of pathological features in adjacent normal renal samples (n=9) and this normal reference group was expanded by inclusion of 14 normal thyroid samples and 8 normal lung specimens. DNA from each of these specimens was analyzed using genotyping microarrays (SNP 6.0, Affymetrix, Sunnyvale, CA).
