Gene expressions in pancreatic cancer cells

ABSTRACT: We used time-dependent spheroidal cultures of pancreatic cancer cells to investigate how spatiotemporal regulation in spheroids induces epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP). We generated a round bottom spheroidal model using M-NM-23 integrin-negative pancreatic cancer cells in 2D conventional monolayer cultures, and compared the expression of integrin signaling-related genes that induce spheroidal geometry to determine if spheroidal geometry induces integrin switching. To identify the potential genes whose expression changed in response to culture conditions, we performed microarray analysis of gene expression in human MIA PaCa-2 cells grown under monolayer and spheroid culture conditions for 6 days and 13 days.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a heterogeneous cancer in which differences in survival rates might be related to a variety in gene expression profiles. Although the molecular biology of PDAC begins to be revealed, genes or pathways that specifically drive tumour progression or metastasis are not well understood. Therefore, we performed microarray analyses on whole-tumour samples of 2 human PDAC subpopulations with similar clinicopathological features, but extremely distinct survival rates after potentially curative surgery, i.e., good outcome (OS and DFSM-bM-^@M-^I>M-bM-^@M-^I50M-bM-^@M-^Imonths) versus bad outcome (OSM-bM-^@M-^I<M-bM-^@M-^I19M-bM-^@M-^Imonths and DFSM-bM-^@M-^I<M-bM-^@M-^I7M-bM-^@M-^Imonths). Additionally, liver- and peritoneal metastases were analysed and compared to primary cancer tissue. The integrin and ephrin receptor families were upregulated in all PDAC samples, irrespective of outcome, supporting an important role of the interaction between pancreatic cancer cells and the surrounding desmoplastic reaction in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Moreover, some components, such as ITGB1 and EPHA2, were upregulated in PDAC samples with a poor outcome, Additionally, overexpression of the non-canonical Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin pathway and EMT genes in PDAC samples with bad versus good outcome suggests their contribution to the invasiveness of pancreatic cancer, with M-NM-2-catenin being also highly upregulated in metastatic tissue. Thus, we conclude that components of the integrin and ephrin pathways and EMT-related genes might serve as molecular markers in pancreatic cancer as their expression seems to be related with prognosis. Microarray analysis was performed on 'Good' and 'Bad' patient samples (samples with similar pathological characteristics were chosen based on the definition of the 2 diverse survival outcome groups and the required RIN values above 7.1), on surrounding non-tumoural pancreatic control samples, liver metastasis (LM) and peritoneal metastasis (PM). Comparisons between good vs. control, bad vs. control, good vs. bad, and primary pancreatic cancer versus metastasis were performed.
