Transcriptional responses in various normal mouse tissues after 24 h following 4 MV photon beam irradiation using three partial body irradiation set-ups

ABSTRACT: Female BALB/c nude mice (n=3/group) were subjected to partial body irradiation under anesthesia using 2 Gy external photon (4 MV, nominal) irradiation. In group A, the collum (i.e. the thyroid) was irradiated; in group B, thorax+abdomen were irradiated, and in group C, collum+thorax+abdomen were irradiated. The control group (n=5) was anesthetized but not irradiated. At 24 h after treatment, the kidneys, liver, lungs, spleen, and thyroid were excised, flash-frozen, and stored at -80Â°C. Total RNA was extracted from homogenized tissue samples (kidney cortex and kidney medulla were treated separately) and subjected to expression analysis using RNA microarray technology. The study consisted of 3 irradiated groups with 3 animals each and one non-irradiated control group with 5 animals. Six tissues were analyzed per animal, each sample was analyzed individually, i.e. no samples were pooled.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer is morphologically and clinically heterogeneous. Transcriptional profiling has revealed molecular subtypes (referred to as M-bM-^@M-^\C-signaturesM-bM-^@M-^]) that correlate to biological as well as clinical features. We aimed to determine gene expression differences between malignant, benign and borderline serous ovarian tumors, and to investigate similarities to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Global gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina's HT12 Bead Arrays and applied to 59 fresh-frozen ovarian tumors. SAM analysis revealed enrichment of cell cycel processes among the malignant tumors, in line with malignant tumors being highly proliferative. The borderline tumors were split between the malignant and benign tumor clusters, indicating that borderline tumors have both malignant and benign features. Furthermore, nearest centroid classification was performed applying previously published gene profiles for the ovarian cancer C-signatures and the intrinsic breast cancer subtypes, respectively, and showed significant correlations between the malignant serous tumors and the highly aggressive C1, C2 and C4 ovarian cancer signatures, and the basal-like breast cancer subtype. The benign and borderline serous tumors together were significantly correlated to the normal-like breast cancer subtype and the ovarian cancer C3 signature. The borderline tumors, on the other hand, correlated significantly to the Luminal A breast cancer subtype. These findings remained when analyzed in a large, independent dataset. The data in this study link the transcriptional profiles of serous ovarian cancer to the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer, in line with the shared clinical and molecular features between high-grade serous ovarian cancer and basal-like breast cancer, including an aggressive phenotype, frequent TP53 mutations and a high degree of genomic instability, and suggest that biomarkers and targeted therapies may overlap between these subsets of ovarian and breast cancers. Finally, the link between benign and borderline ovarian cancer and luminal breast cancer may indicate endocrine responsiveness in a subset of ovarian cancers.

Project description:Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been proposed as a future cell based therapy for lung diseases like bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Theoretically, it might be beneficial to use lung resident MSC already adapted to the pulmonary environment. We therefore aimed to compare lung MSC with the well-characterized bone marrow MSC. Furthermore, MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS were compared to MSC isolated from good outcome recipients. Methods: MSC were isolated from bone marrow (BM) and adult/fetal lung tissues and compared by a comprehensive panel of assays. Results:The gene expression profiles of adult lung derived and fetal lung derived MSC were very similar compared to BM derived MSC, with only 235 and 338 genes, respectively, being significantly differently expressed. Out of the 235 genes that were significantly different between adult lung derived and BM derived MSC, 90 genes were higher expressed in the lung derived MSC. In case of fetal lung derived MSC, 166 genes were higher expressed compared to the BM derived MSC. Interestingly, only, 89 genes were found to be expressed differently when comparing BM derived MSC to both, fetal and adult lung derived MSC, indicating that these genes are lung specific. Next, we went on to evaluate if MSC isolated from biopsies of lung-transplanted patients with BOS differed compared to patients without BOS, i.e. good outcome recipients. Here we found that four genes (Sox9, FAR2, LOC728855 and NDUFS5) were significantly higher expressed in MSC isolated from BOS patients Conclusions: This data demonstrates that lung resident MSC possess lung specific properties that should be taken into considerations when using MSC for cell-based therapy in severe lung disorders like BOS. These results also show that MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS do not have an altered phenotype. Comparison of gene expression of MSC isolated from bone marrow, adult lung and fetal lung.
