Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that estrogen and prolactin (PRL) play a key role in prostate cancer development, yet their relationship and molecular actions in prostate is not well understood. To address this issue, we made the first direct comparison of estrogen and PRL actions in the Noble rat (NBL) prostate dysplasia model. Prostatic dysplasia in lateral prostate (DLP) has been induced by elevated circulating levels of estrogen and PRL in NBL with estrogen (E2)-filled implants, while physiological level of testosterone (T) was maintained with T-filled implants. The effect of estrogen and PRL was studied by using ICI and bromocriptine (Br) as their respective blockers, both can effectively inhibited dysplasia development under T+E2 induction. Transcript expression profile of the four treatment groups (Control, T+E2, T+E2+Br, and T+E2+ICI) has been characterized in this array.

Project description:Exogenous 17β-estradiol (E2) accelerates the progression of ovarian cancer in the transgenic tgCAG-LS-TAg mouse model of the disease. We hypothesized that E2 has direct effects on ovarian cancer cells and this study was designed to determine the molecular mechanisms by which E2 accelerates ovarian tumour progression. Mouse ovarian cancer ascites (MASE2) cell lines were derived from tgCAG-LS-TAg mice. Following intraperitoneal engraftment of MASE2 into SCID mice, exogenous E2 significantly decreased the survival time and increased the tumour burden. Microarray analysis performed on cells derived from mouse ovarian cancer ascites (MASE2) treated with and without E2 indicated that E2 treatment caused the upregulation and downregulation of genes involved in cell differentiation, proliferation and migration. In particular, Greb1 that has been also identified as a hormone-responsive gene in breast cances, was upregulated in mouse tumour cells treated with E2. Three biological replicates (MASE2 tumours grown in SCID mice, see growth protocol) were analyzed for both conditions of addition of E2 or placebo.

Project description:The heart of late pregnant (LP) rodents is more prone to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury compared to non-pregnant rodents. We hypothesized that Intralipid (ITLD) protects the heart in LP rodents against I/R injury. We performed genome-wide expression profiling to identify the underlying mechanisms. Female LP rat hearts were subjected to ischemia followed by reperfusion with vehicle or ITLD (one bolus of 5mg/kg).

Project description:Doxorubicin (DOXO), a chemotherapeutic drug, is cardiotoxic. We hypothesized that folic acid is an effective therapeutic agent in a mouse model of DOXO-induced cardiotoxicity. We performed genome-wide expression profiling to identify the underlying mechanisms. Male C57Bl6 2-mo old mice received DOXO (1x20 mg/kg, ip) or saline (sham). FA (10 mg/d) or placebo (plac) was administered 7d before DOXO administration until the end of the experiment (10d).

Project description:Most epithelial ovarian cancers are thought to arise from different cells in the ovarian or fallopian tube epithelium. We hypothesized that these distinct cells-of-origin may play a role in determining ovarian tumor phenotype and also could inform the molecular classification of ovarian cancer. To test this hypothesis, we developed new methods to isolate and culture paired normal human ovarian (OV) and fallopian tube (FT) epithelial cells from multiple donors without cancer and identified a cell-of-origin gene expression signature that distinguished these cell types within the same patient. Application of the OV versus FT cell-of-origin gene signature to gene expression profiles of primary ovarian cancers permitted identification of distinct OV and FT-like subgroups among these cancers. Importantly, the normal FT-like tumor classification correlated with a significantly worse disease-free survival. This work describes a new experimental method for culture of normal human OV and FT epithelial cells from the same patient. These findings provide new evidence that cell-of-origin is an important source of ovarian tumor heterogeneity and the associated differences in tumor phenotype. We analyzed 12 samples from two donor patients and established cultures of both ovarian epithelium and fallopian tube epithelium (hTERT immortalized), each with 3 replicates (different culture passages).

Project description:The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of sex on gene expression in LV of AS patients at the time of AVR. LV samples of men (n = 9; age: 75 M-1 8 y) and women (n = 10; age: 72 M-1 9 y) undergoing AVR were used for RNA isolation. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed using the Affymetrix platform and the data were analyzed with R and Bioconductor. Diseased samples were compared with LV samples of men (n = 10; age: 56 M-1 4 y) and women (n = 8; age: 56 M-1 5 y) with no apparent cardiovascular disorder.

Project description:Two experiments were preformed, one for evaluating the effect of E2 exposure in males and a second experiment for comparing gene expression in the liver of non-vitellogenic females with that of vitellogenic females. The experiments designs were as follows:<br>1) Four months old zebrafish were divided into three groups consisting of 8 fish in each group: i) males (N=8) were exposed to E2 (Sigma-Aldrich, Israel) by immersion for 48 h (group E). The concentration used was 5 ?g/L (18 nM), as 3-4 ng/ml was determined to be the E2 natural concentration in the plasma of adult vitellogenic female ZF (Heiden et al 2006); ii) untreated males(N=8); iii) untreated vitellogenic females(N=8). Four replicate samples were prepared for each group and each replicate consisted of a pooled sample from livers of two fish. <br>2) In order to reveal the differences between vitellogenic and non-vitellogenic females, a second experiment was designed. One month old zebrafish were divided into two groups consisting of 32 fish in each group. Due to the small size of the liver, pooled samples from eight fish were prepared for each of the four replicates in the expression studies. The groups consisted of: i) fish that were kept under a light/dark cycle of 14/10 h for 5 weeks (N=32). with ovaries in vitellogenic stage; ii) fish that were kept under a light/dark cycle of 6/18 h for the same time period (N=32) with non-vitellogenic ovaries.

Project description:The emergence of anti-estrogen resistance in breast cancer is an important clinical phenomenon affecting long-term survival in this disease. Identifying factors that convey cell survival in this setting may guide improvements in treatment. Estrogen (E2) can induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells that have been selected for survival after E2 deprivation for long periods (MCF-7:5C cells), but the mechanisms underlying E2-induced stress in this setting have not been elucidated. Here, we report that the c-Src kinase functions as a key adapter protein for the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1) in its activation of stress responses induced by E2 in MCF-7:5C cells. E2 elevated phosphorylation of c-Src, which was blocked by 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT), suggesting that E2 activated c-Src through the ER. We found that E2 activated the sensors of the unfolded protein response (UPR), IRE1? (ERN1) and PERK kinase (EIF2AK3), the latter of which phosphorylates eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2? (eIF2?). E2 also dramatically increased reactive oxygen species production and upregulated expression of heme oxygenase HO-1 (HMOX1), an indicator of oxidative stress, along with the central energy sensor kinase AMPK (PRKAA2). Pharmacologic or RNA interference-mediated inhibition of c-Src abolished the phosphorylation of eIF2? and AMPK, blocked E2-induced ROS production, and inhibited E2-induced apoptosis. Together, our results establish that c-Src kinase mediates stresses generated by E2 in long-term E2-deprived cells that trigger apoptosis. This work offers a mechanistic rationale for a new approach in the treatment of endocrine-resistant breast cancer. MCF-7:5C cells were treated with vehicle (0.1% EtOH) as control, E2 (10-9mol/L), 4-OHT (10-6mol/L), E2 (10-9mol/L) plus 4-OHT (10-6mol/L), PP2 (5x10-6mol/L), and E2 (10-9mol/L) plus PP2 (5x10-6mol/L) respectively for 72 hours.
