To date, studies of the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have either focused on specific individual miRNAs and a small number of suspected targets or simply reported a list of differentially expressed miRNAs based on expression profiling. Here, we seek a more in-depth understanding of the roles of miRNAs and their targets in HCC by integrating the miRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles of tumorous and adjacent non-tumorous liver tissues of 100 HCC patient ...[more]

Project description:Introduction: Targeting of the tumor vasculature has evolved into an integral part of existing standard anti-cancer therapies. However, recent pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that the efficacy of these treatments is temporary at most and frequently followed by the renewed tumor growth, indicating that these targets may not be robust. Methods: We transcriptionally profiled laser capture microdissection isolated microvessels from tumor and matching adjacent normal tissue samples obtained from breast cancer patients diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Gene expression profiles were generated and analyzed using Genespring and the web-based WebGestalt bioinformatics Toolkit. Several differentially expressed genes were validated by immunohistochemistry. To further mine our data set we used a novel integrative systems biology network approach to identify a gene signature that could robustly stratify breast cancer patient populations. Results: Vascular enrichment of the LCM samples was confirmed by Q-PCR of CD31. Hierarchical two-dimensional clustering of the transcriptome data identified 219 significantly upregulated transcripts in at least 4/8 patient samples (cut-off >1.3-fold, p<0.05). Several genes AGRN, FLNA and ILR4 were selected and their protein overexpression was confirmed in the tumor tissue. Additional mining of the data set using the clinical information associated with these tissues by applying an integrative bioinformatics network method generated a 15-gene M-bM-^@M-^XVascular-Derived Prognostic PredictorM-bM-^@M-^Y that is able to stratify patient populations in to high- and low- risk groups. Conclusions: The overall heterogeneity observed in the vascular gene expression patterns in the infiltrating ductal carcinoma samples poses a significant problem for these individual genes to be used as a robust vascular breast cancer specific marker or therapeutic target. Using an integrative bioinformatics network approach allowed us to identify a 15-gene M-bM-^@M-^XVascular-Derived Prognostic PredictorM-bM-^@M-^Y that can robustly identify patients with an increased risk of local recurrence. Stratifying patient populations using this gene signature may lead to better patient-tailored treatment regimes.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional levels. There is increasing evidence to suggest that miRNAs could be useful in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. The aim of our study was to identify miRNAs predictors of poor prognosis in adrenocortical cancer. miRNA microarray expression profiling was performed on a cohort of 6 adenomas, 6 non-recurrent carcinomas (Carc_B) and 6 recurrent carcinomas (Carc_A). We identified several miRNAs that were differentially expressed between adenomas and carcinomas as well as between Carc_A and Carc_B. We found that the best discriminatory miRNAs between carcinomas and adenomas were miR-195 and miR-335 which were down-regulated in carcinomas. MiR-139-5p was the most powerful discriminatory miRNA between Carc_A and Carc_B subtypes with consistent up-regulation in the recurrent carcinoma subgroup (Carc_A). Target prediction analysis showed that predicted targets of these miRNAs could be involved in biological processes and pathways that enhance tumor progression. Our data suggest that adrenocortical cancer cells progressively switch from a high miR-195 and miR-335 status to a low miR-195 and miR-335 phenotype. MiR-139-5P is a potential prognostic biomarker of recurrent adrenocortical carcinomas. Six tumor samples from patients with adrenocortical adenomas (Adenoma_1 to Adenoma_6), six tumor samples from patients with aggressive carcinomas (Carc_A1 to Carc_A6) and six tumor samples from patients with non-aggressive carcinoma (Carc_B1 to Carc_B6) were used to prepare total RNA for microarray analysis using MiRXploreTM Microarrays. miRXplore Universal Reference was used as control. One tumor sample was used per array.

Project description:In order to identify the deregulated genes in hepatocellular carcinama, we applied the Agilent two-color chip cDNA microarray to explore the expression of genes in hepatocellular carcinoma and nontumor liver tissue samples. Hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and nontumor liver tissues were obtained from hepatocellular carcinoma patients during surgery. In these samples, RNA was extracted and cDNA microarray was performed to identify the differentially expressed genes in these samples. Hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and nontumor liver tissues were obtained from hepatocellular carcinoma patients during surgery. We included four hepatocellular carcinoma patients in this study, and there are four nontumor tissues and four hepatocellular carcinoma tissues.

Project description:Human colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the better-understood systems for studying the genetics of cancer initiation and progression. To develop a cross-species comparison strategy for identifying CRC causative gene or genomic alterations, we performed array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) to investigate copy number abnormalities (CNAs), one of the most prominent lesion types reported for human CRCs, in 10 spontaneously occurring canine CRCs. The results revealed for the first time a strong degree of genetic homology between sporadic canine and human CRCs. First, we saw that between 5 and 22% of the canine genome was amplified/deleted in these tumors, and that, reminiscent of human CRCs, the total altered sequences directly correlated to the tumorâs progression stage, origin, and likely microsatellite instability status. Second, when mapping the identified CNAs onto syntenic regions of the human genome, we noted that the canine orthologs of genes participating in known human CRC pathways were recurrently disrupted, indicating that these pathways might be altered in the canine CRCs as well. Lastly, we observed a significant overlapping of CNAs between human and canine tumors, and tumors from the two species were clustered according to the tumor subtypes but not the species. Significantly, compared with the shared CNAs, we found that species-specific (especially human-specific) CNAs localize to evolutionarily unstable regions that harbor more segmental duplications and interspecies genomic rearrangement breakpoints. These findings indicate that CNAs recurrent between human and dog CRCs may have a higher probability of being cancer-causative, compared with CNAs found in one species only Comparison of human and dog colon cancer CNAs

Project description:Clinically evident oral lesions, oral epithelial dysplasia, precede development of oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and are considered to transform to cancer by acquisition of genetic or epigenetic alterations. Here, we show that, +3q24-qter, -8pter-p23.1, +8q12-q24.2 and +20 are early events identifying two pathways to oral cancers that differ in clinical behavior. One or more of these copy number aberrations is present in the major subgroup (3q8pq20 subtype, 75-80% of lesions) that develops with chromosomal instability and risk for metastasis, while they are absent from the smaller and chromosomally stable non-3q8pq20 subgroup (20-25% of lesions) associated with low risk for metastasis. Thus, +3q, -8p, +8q and +20 is a biomarker for oral SCC metastasis. On the other hand, while increased numbers of genomic alterations can be harbingers of progression to cancer, dysplastic lesions lacking copy number changes cannot be considered benign as they are potential precursors to non-3q8pq20 oral SCC. 63 oral SCCs and adjacent regions of normal tissue, 44 oral dysplasias
