Fitness of natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains [CGH]

ABSTRACT: To characterize the ecological interactions among S. cerevisiae strains coming from the same geographical area, we examined the fitness of two natural isolates from San Giovese grapes, alone or in competition, in synthetic wine must (SWM). We performed genome-wide analyses in order to identify the genes involved in yeast competition and cooperation. 2 samples and 2 replicates.

Project description:Less than 30% of children with high-risk (HR) metastatic neuroblastoma (NB) show a long survival (Pearson 2000). In order to identify novel molecular prognostic markers useful to better predict patientsM-bM-^@M-^Y relapse risk estimation, we performed genome- and/or transcriptome-wide analyses of 129 stage 4 HR-NBs. This is the largest study for this NB subtype. Children older than 1 year of age at diagnosis were categorized as M-bM-^@M-^\short-survivorsM-bM-^@M-^] (dead of disease within 5 years from diagnosis) and M-bM-^@M-^\long-survivorsM-bM-^@M-^] (alive with an overall survival time > 5 years). A significant correlation of patient survival with the presence of small number of segmental copy number aberrations (CNA < 3) was observed. Thus, within the group of stage 4 HR-NBs, we identified a specific subgroup of patients (those with highest number of CNA) that have a higher risk of progression/recurrence. The complex genomic pattern is an independent prognostic marker, since MYCN oncogene amplification only affects the predictive value of single CNA (i.e., 1p loss, 17q gain). Integrative analysis of genomic and expression signatures demonstrated that fatal outcome is associated with loss of cell cycle control and with progression of tumor due to deregulation of Rho GTPase signaling and genes related to cell motility. Tumors with MYCN amplification showed a lower chromosome instability compared to MYCN-single copy NBs (P=0.0008), dominated by 17q gain and 1p loss. Moreover, our results suggest that the MYCN amplification mainly drives the disruption of neuronal differentiation and the reduction of cell adhesion process involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. For array-CGH profiling, we analyzed 91 samples of metastatic neuroblastomas. All patients were classified as stage 4 and they were older than 1 year of age at time of diagnosis. Regarding the clinical course, 46 were short-survivors (dead of disease within 60 months from diagnosis. Deaths due to toxicity were censored) and 45 were long-survivors (alive with an overall survival time > 60 months). This submission consists of 22 new samples and 69 other cases previously deposited in GEO under Series accessions GSE14109 and GSE25771.

Project description:The aim of the study was to address the concept of field cancerization in oral cancer. The presence of genomic aberrations, indicative of chromosomal instability (CIN), in oral distant fields (ODFs) of visually normal and non-dysplastic mucosa at the mirror image from concomitant oral potentially malignant lesions (OPMLs) was investigated. This pilot study comprised 16 OPMLs (8 without dysplasia, nd-OPMLs; 8 with dysplasia, d-OPMLs) and 16 ODFs. DNA diploid (DNA Index, DI=1) and aneuploid (DIM-bM-^IM- 1) sublines were detected by high resolution DNA-flow cytometry (FCM) at (hr DNA-FCM) using DAPI stained nuclei suspensions. Nuclei with different DIs were FCM-sorted in order to enrich the epithelial component and to obtain genomic DNA for high resolution oligonucleotide array-Comparative Genomic Hybridization (a-CGH) analysis to provide a genome-wide measurement of DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs). The frequencies of DNA aneuploidy in ODFs and OPMLs were 6.2% and 43.8%, respectively (p=0.037). ODFs and nd-OPMLs were all near-diploid (DIM-bM-^IM- 1 and DIM-bM-^IM-$1.4), while d-OPMLs were also high-aneuploid (DI>1.4). CNA averages were 2.3 in ODFs (1.5 for nd-OPMLs and 3.1 for d-OPMLs), and 7.325 in OPMLs (3.0 in nd-OPMLs; 11.6 in d-OPMLs). CNAs were present in the DNA diploid sublines and often the same CNAs were observed in both ODFs and corresponding OPMLs DNA aneuploid sublines and CNAs in the present series of 16 ODFs are likely to represent early events of the natural history of oral carcinogenesis and to indicate an early onset of the field effect cancerization. Moreover, gains within 20q13.33-qter, 7p22.2-pter and 16p13.3-pter chromosomal regions in ODFs and in the relative OPMLs suggest that specific genes localized in these regions (RTEL1, MAD1L1 and TEL2) might contribute to the ODF/d-OPML transition. We analyzed: 8 samples of oral potentially malignant lesions with dysplasia, 8 samples of oral potentially malignant lesions without dysplasia and for each patient a corresponding oral distant field of visually normal mucosa.
