ABSTRACT: Gene expression was generated using HG-U133_Plus_2.0 expression arrays (Affymetrix). All samples were normalized using the RMA (Robust Multi-array Average) algorithm from the Bioconductor “affy” package.Unsupervised classification of samples was performed using ConsensusClusterPlus R package v1.40, with hierarchical clustering method and euclidean distance, based on the top 1000 variable transcripts, according to their standard deviation. The optimal number of groups was chosen according to the relative change of area under CDF curve criterion.
Project description:Whole-genome DNA methylation was performed using the Infinium HumanMethylation27 assay (Illumina). DNA methylation scores for each locus were extracted from the GenomeStudio software (Illumina), used to generate beta-values and M-values for each CpG. Unsupervised classification was performed with ConsensusClusterPlus on beta-values, using Partition around medoids method and euclidean distance, based on top 5000 more variant probes, excluding those located on sexual chromosomes, and restricted to CpG Island. Correlations between genes methylation and expression, and between methylation and 17-hydroxy-progesterone secretion were performed using the M-value and Pearson correlation, using R V3.0.2

Project description:A Cartes d'Identité des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) | Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 : 188 tumor samples |Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors occuring in the context of inherited cancer syndromes in approximately 30% of cases, linked to germline mutations in VHL, RET, NF1, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2 or TMEM127 genes. Although progress has been made with regard to tumorigenesis mechanisms in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma thanks to genome-wide expression studies, the question of a putative molecular distinction between VHL- and SDHx- on one hand, and RET- and NF1-related tumors on the other hand, remained to be addressed as well as the characterization of genetic events in sporadic tumors. With this purpose, 202 pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas, including 75 hereditary tumors, were investigated by expression profiling, array CGH and somatic mutation screening. The systematic characterization of somatic genetic events associated with tumor suppressor gene germline mutations in tumor tissues reveals a majority of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) but also point mutations and copy neutral LOH. Gene-expression signature defined the hereditary tumors according to their genotype. Especially, a complete sub-separation between SDHx- and VHL-related tumors was observed. Moreover, guided by the transcriptome classification and the LOH profile, somatic mutations in VHL or RET genes were identified in 14% of sporadic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas. A genetic cause was found in 45.5% (92/202) of the large series of pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas analyzed. Regarding mutated genes, specific molecular pathways involved in tumorigenesis mechanisms are showed. Altogether, these new findings suggest that somatic mutation analysis would give important clues for personalized molecular target therapies.
Project description:A ""Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs"" (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net). 73 samples (60 tumoral, 6 normal kidneys (NK), 3 fetal kidneys (FK) and 4 cell lines (L)), hybridized on Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips.Tumor classification based on a characterization of WT1 and Betacatenin. Identification of major differences between two categories of Wilms' Tumors defined according to WT1 and CTNNB1 genomic and expression features. First large scale study based on post-chemotherapy resected tumors, according to the SIOP protocoles.
Project description:Small RNAs (<100 bases in length) were purified from total RNA samples using the miRNeasy kit (Qiagen), and multiplexed miRNA libraries were prepared using a previously described protocol and sequenced on a HiSeq 2000 (Illumina). Image analysis, base calling, demultiplexing and conversion of BCL to FASTQ format were carried out using CASAVA 1.8.2 software (Illumina). Adaptor sequences were removed using mirExpress software. Fastq were 3p-adaptor trimmed. The sequences were then aligned on hg19 (GRCh37) human reference genome with STAR (v.2.5.2a), allowing no mismatch with reference. Reads were counted using HTSeq-count (HTSeq v 0.6.1p1 Python package) using “intersection-strict” mode, to count mature miRNA abundance according to miRbase v.20.
Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) | Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 : 7 NKTCL biopsies, 2 NKTCL cell lines (SNK6, SNT8), 16 PTCL NOS biopsies, 2 NK cells samples | Biopsies and cell lines of NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal-type (NKTCL) were subject to combined gene expression profiling and array-based comparative genomic hybridization analyses. Compared to PTCL, NOS, NKTCL had higher transcript levels for NK-cell markers and cytotoxic molecules, especially granzyme H, a novel sensitive biomarker of NKTCL. Compared to normal NK cells, tumors were closer to activated than resting cells and overexpressed several genes related to vascular biology, EBV-induced genes and PDGFRA. Notably, PDGFR? and its phosphorylated form were confirmed at the protein level, and in vitro the MEC04 NKTCL-cell line was sensitive to imatinib. Deregulation of the AKT, JAKSTAT and NF-?B pathways suggested by bioinformatical analysis, was corroborated by nuclear expression of phosphorylated AKT, STAT3 and RelA in NKTCL, and several deregulated genes in these pathways mapped to regions of recurrent copy number aberrations (AKT3 (1q44), IL6R (1q21.3), CCL2 (17q12), TNFRSF21 (6p12.3)). Several features of NKTCL uncovered by this analysis (overexpression of VEGFA and its receptor KDR by the tumor cells, overexpression of MET-HGF) suggest deregulation of angiogenic pathways. Integrative analysis also identified a novel putative tumor suppressor HACE1 in the frequently deleted 6q21 region. This study highlights emerging oncogenic pathways in NKTCL and identifies novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets. | Submitter : Aurelien de Reynies <reyniesa@ligue-cancer.fr> | Project leader : Philippe Gaulard <philippe.gaulard@hmn.aphp.fr>

Project description:A Cartes dM-^RIdentite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net/). Seven transcriptome datasets corresponding to a new series of 85 MIBC (Muscle-invasive bladder cancer) and six publicly-available series (298 MIBC) were analyzed. Tumors were classified by consensus clustering. Overall survival was determined from Kaplan-Meier curves. The role of the EGFR pathway was investigated by pathway bioinformatics analysis, determination of the expression levels of its components (by microarray, RT-qPCR and western blot) and of EGFR copy number by CGH arrays. A 40-gene transcriptomic classifier was used to identify basal-like cell lines and a basal-like mouse model. Please note M-^QMIBC molecular subtype': tumors classification using consensus clustering.
