Project description:Liposarcomas are rare, heterogeneous and malignant tumors that can be divided into five histological subtypes with different characteristics and clinical behavior. Treatment consists of surgery in combination with systemic chemotherapy, but nevertheless mortality rates are high. More insight into the biology of liposarcoma tumorigenesis is needed to devise novel therapeutic approaches. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been associated with carcinogenesis in many tumors and may function as tumor suppressor or oncogene. In this study we examined miRNA expression in an initial series of 57 human liposarcomas (including all subtypes), lipomas and normal fat by miRNA microarrays. Supervised hierarchical clustering of the most differentially expressed miRNAs (p<0.0002) distinguished most liposarcoma subtypes and control tissues. The distinction between well differentiated liposarcomas and benign lipomas was blurred, suggesting these tumor types may represent a biological continuum. MiRNA signatures of liposarcoma subtypes were established and validated in an independent series of 58 liposarcomas and control tissues. The expression of the miR-143/145 and miR-144/451 cluster members was clearly reduced in liposarcomas compared to normal fat. Overexpression of miR-145 and miR-451 in liposarcoma cell lines decreased cellular proliferation rate, impaired cell cycle progression and induced apoptosis. In conclusion, we show that miRNA expression profiling can be used to discriminate liposarcoma subtypes, which could aid in objective diagnostic decision making. In addition, our data indicate that miR-145 and miR-451 act as tumor suppressors in adipose tissue and show that re-expression of these miRNAs could be a promising therapeutic strategy for liposarcomas. 57 samples discovery set, 58 samples in validation set, subdivided in 5 liposarcoma subtypes plus lipomas and normal fat as control samples. Each sample was analysed on one array. All array probes are present in duplicate.

Project description:The development of drug resistance is still a major impediment for the successful treatment of cancer, such as advanced stage ovarian cancer, which has a 5-year survival rate of only 30%. The molecular processes that contribute to resistance have been extensively studied, however, not much is known about the role of microRNAs. We compared microRNA expression profiles of three isogenic cisplatin sensitive and resistant cell line pairs. The only microRNA that was consistently downregulated (FDR = 0.000) in all resistant cell lines was miR-634. We investigated the effects of miR-634 modulation in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient derived tumor cells. Overexpression of miR-634 gave rise to a modest G1 phase block and enhanced apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-634 resensitized resistant ovarian cancer cell lines and patient derived tumor cells to cisplatin chemotherapy. Similarly, miR-634 enhanced the response of tumor cells to carboplatin and doxorubicin, but not to paclitaxel. We showed that miR-634 regulates cyclin D1 (CCND1), which is required for the G1-S phase transition, explaining the effects on the cell cycle. In addition, miR-634 repressed expression of GRB2, ERK2, RSK1 and RSK2, components of the Ras-MAPK pathway. Altogether, our findings suggest that miR-634 modulates several cancer relevant targets and therefore miR-634 is an attractive therapeutic candidate to resensitize chemotherapy resistant ovarian tumors. The miRNA expression profile was determined of three cisplatin sensitive/resistant cell line pairs (ovarian cancer cell line pair A2780/A2780 DDP; colon cancer cell line pair HCT8/HCT8 DDP; bladder cancer cell line pairT24/T24 DDP10).

Project description:The DNA damage response (DDR) is a cellular process that protects the genetic information against DNA damage and inhibits malignant transformation. Tumor cells are characterized by an aberrant DDR, which is exploited by genotoxic chemotherapy. However, cancer cells are able to develop drug resistance, for example by modulation of the DDR. Although the regulation of the DDR has been extensively studied, not much is known about the role of microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we describe an approach to specifically identify DDR miRNAs in human primary epithelial cells that also play a role in tumorigenesis and response to cancer therapy in corresponding cancer cells. The miRNA expression profile was determined of 18 non-small cell lung tumors and 16 normal lung samples.
