Analysis of DNA replication by comparative genome hybridization on microarrays involving wild type, elg1d, pol30f, and pol30f elg1d cells.

ABSTRACT: Wild type, elg1d, pol30f, and pol30f elg1d cells were arrested in G1 and synchronously released in the presence of HU for 30 or 60 minutes. Genomic DNA was extracted, amplified, and hybridized to a whole genome tiling microarray. Replicated regions were identified as peaks that exhibit increased copy number relative to G1 cells and overlapped confirmed replication origins.

There are remarkable disparities among patients of different races with prostate cancer; however, the mechanism underlying this difference remains unclear. Here, we present a comprehensive landscape of the transcriptome profiles of 14 primary prostate cancers and their paired normal counterparts from the Chinese population using RNA-seq, revealing tremendous diversity across prostate cancer transcriptomes with respect to gene fusions, long noncoding RNAs (long ncRNA), alternative splicing and so ...[more]

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is an aggressive tumor that affects both infants and children. The disease outcome is greatly influenced by age of patient, stage, chromosome copy number aberrations (CNAs) and gene expression abnormalities. We analyzed, by microarray technology, genome and transcriptome of 3 groups of tumors of patients with metastatic disease: G1, stage 4S and MYCN single copy; G2, stage 4 younger than 18 months of age, MYCN single copy with no disease progression and G3, stage 4, older than 19 months, with unfavorable outcome. We found an accumulation of structural copy number aberrations (CNAs) in G3 whereas G1 tumors had mostly numerical (N) CNAs and G2 showed an intermediate behavior. Pair wise comparisons demonstrated that the average of N CNAs significantly decreased from G1 to G2 to G3 (9.6 G1 < 7.2 G2 < 3.6 G3); in contrast S CNAs significantly increased in G3 (0.7 G1 < 3.7 G2 < 7.0 G3). Interestingly, we observed several intra-chromosomal rearrangements in G3 tumors on chromosomes not usually involved in NB. Excluding MYCN amplified tumors by G3 we found a high frequency of S CNAs in this group. Gene expression analysis showed a deregulation of downstream genes of Ras and Rho signaling pathway among the 3 groups. It has been also observed a progressive switch off of development and adhesion genes and a switch on of cell cycle genes from G1 to G2 to G3. Moreover, the telemorase genes were significantly expressed in G3 with respect to remaining groups. Present data show an accumulation of S CNAs from stage 4S to 4. The deregulation of genes Rho/Ras pathway may explain the increase of tumor aggressiveness from G1 to G2 to G3. The increase of cell cycle and telomerase genes expression associated with G3 would provide unlimited replicative potential for these tumors and may be responsible for accumulation of S CNAs. Finally, we can argue that accumulation of structural aberrations and gene deregulation is age-dependent and it is associated with a more aggressive tumor phenotype. We analyzed 133 samples of metastatic neuroblastoma from patients divided into three groups: G1 49 patients stage 4S and MYCN single copy; G2 37 patients stage 4 younger than 18 months of age at diagnosis, MYCN single copy with no disease progression; G3 47 patients stage 4 older than 19 months of age at diagnosis, with unfavorable outcome.

Project description:Radiotherapy has a critical role in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Effectiveness of radiation in SCLC remains limited as resistance results from defects in apoptosis. In the current study, we investigated whether using a Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor S44563 can enhance radiosensitivity of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies confirmed that S44563 induce apoptosis in SCLC cells by inducing hallmarks of apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3, sub-G1 fraction induction and induction of the mitochondrial caspase activation pathway). S44563 markedly enhanced sensitivity of H146 cells and H69 cells to radiation in clonogenic assay. In addition, the combination S44563 and cisplatin-based chemo-radiation showed a dramatic tumor growth delay and increased overall survival in mouse xenograft models. In vitro experiments demonstrated a greater induction of apoptosis (sub-G1 fraction and cleaved caspase-3) with the combination as well as in vivo caspase-3 immunostaining. This positive interaction between S44563 and radiation was greater when S44563 was given after the completion of the radiation, which may be explained by the radiation-induced over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) through the NF-?B pathway activation. Taken together, these data underline the critical role of sequence administration of targeted therapies with conventional therapies. SCLC cells which survive to IR highly rely on the induction of anti apoptotic proteins in part through NF- ?B activation for their survival yielding to the concept of 'contextual oncogene addiction' to the Bcl-2/Bcl-XL pathway providing rational for targeting survival pathways to potentiate IR. For transcriptome analysis, 106 cells were seeded in T25 flasks, allowed to growth for 24 h, and then left untreated or treated with 2 Gy radiation. After 24 hours, cells were harvested, lysed for the extraction of RNA, and processed to analyze gene expression.The design of this study consists to 6 hybridizations in dual color with Agilent Human Genome 4x44K (design 014850). The reference is always the untreated condition.
