Genomic analysis Nasopharyngeal cancer through whole exome sequencing and whole genomic sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a squamous-cell carcinoma and has remarkable ethnic and geographic distribution, with a high prevalence in southern China, southeast Asia, northern Africa and Alaska. Although there are previous studies implicated NF-κB pathway play an important role in NPC. Newer research also found several important cellular processes and pathways in NPC, including chromatin modification, ERBB-PI3K signaling and autophagy machinery. Put these studies together, although, NPC is still poorly understood at the genetic level. Here we determined the mutational landscape of 553 cases with NPC using whole-genomic and whole-exome sequencing. These approaches revealed a distinct mutational signature and significantly mutated genes.

The genomic landscape of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has extremely skewed ethnic and geographic distributions, is poorly understood at the genetic level and is in need of effective therapeutic approaches. Here we determined the mutational landscape of 128 cases with NPC using whole-exome and targeted deep sequencing, as well as SNP array analysis. These approaches revealed a distinct mutational signature and nine significantly mutated genes, many of which have not been implicated previously in NPC. Notably, integrated analysis showed enrichment of genetic lesions affecting several important cellular processes and pathways, including chromatin modification, ERBB-PI3K signaling and autophagy machinery. Further functional studies suggested the biological relevance of these lesions to the NPC malignant phenotype. In addition, we uncovered a number of new druggable candidates because of their genomic alterations. Together our study provides a molecular basis for a comprehensive understanding of, and exploring new therapies for, NPC Examination of mRNA expression levels in 4 individuals dignosed for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma using RNA sequencing.

Nasopharynx Cancer Whole Exome Sequencing

Project description:<p>Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an aggressive head and neck cancer characterized by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and dense lymphocyte infiltration. The scarcity of NPC genomic data hinders the understanding of NPC biology, disease progression, and rational therapy design. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on 111 micro-dissected EBV-positive NPCs, with 15 cases subjected to further whole-genome sequencing (WGS), to determine its mutational landscape. We identified enrichment for genomic aberrations of multiple negative regulators of the NF-kB pathway in a total of 41% of cases including CYLD, TRAF3, NFKBIA and NLRC5. Functional analysis confirmed novel inactivating CYLD mutations as drivers for NPC cell growth. The EBV oncoprotein latent member protein 1 (LMP1) functions to constitutively activate NF-kB signaling, and we observed mutual exclusivity among somatic NF-kB pathway aberrations and LMP1-overexpression, suggesting that NF-kB activation is selected for by both somatic and viral events during NPC pathogenesis.</p>

Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Tissues [SeqCapEpi]

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is enedemic in Southeast Asia but is uncommon worldwide. In Hong Kong, approximately 95% of NPC cases are associated with Esptein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV has been shown to induce changes in the epigenetics of EBV-malignancies. Epigenetics in NPC may thus play an important role in NPC pathogensis. We performed targeted bisulfite sequencing to accurately profile the methylation changes in NPC and investigate the role of abberant methylation pattern in NPC.

microRNA expression profiling of human nasopharyngeal Carcinoma tissues and Chronic Nasopharyngitis specimens

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been etiologically linked to human malignancies including Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). Although EBV-encoded miRNAs have been shown to contribute to viral latency, host cell survival and immune evasion, their direct impact on cancer progression in their human host remains unclear. In the current study, based on a miRNA expression profiling analysis of a larger number of clinical specimens using a miRNA array platform containing human, EBV and other species miRNA probes., we found that some EBV-miR-BARTs were highly expressed in NPC. Accordingly, further exploration of the potential roles and regulatory mechanisms of some important EBV-miR-BARTs in NPC progression was carried out. We applied a miRNA expression profiling analysis in 20 poor or undifferentiated NPC (Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma) matched with 20 benign chronic nasopharyngitis (CNP) specimens using a miRNA array platform containing human, EBV and other species miRNA probes. Two-group experiment, NPC vs CNP. Biological repelicates: 20 NPCs, 20 CNPs. One replicate per array.

Gene expression data from HEK-293T cells transfected with miR-194 mimics

Project description:Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. miR-194 was previously shown to reduce the induction of NF-κB activity upon addition of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). To clarify the molecular mechanism responsible for the effect of miR-194 on NF-κB pathway, mRNA microarray assays were performed to identify the genes that were suppressed by miR-194. HEK-293T cells transfected with miR-194 mimics were cultured for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix mRNA microarrays. These were compared against the control, which were HEK-293T cells transfected with negative control mimics.

NPC268 whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS)

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a cancer that is etiologically associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is endemic in Southern China and Southeast Asia. The scarcity of representative NPC cell lines owing to the frequent loss of EBV episomes following prolonged propagation and compromised authenticity of previous models underscores the critical need for new EBV-positive NPC models. Herein, we describe the establishment of a new EBV-positive NPC cell line, designated NPC268 from a primary non-keratinizing, differentiated NPC tissue. NPC268 can undergo productive lytic reactivation of EBV and is highly tumorigenic in immunodeficient mice. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed close similarities with the tissue of origin, including large chromosomal rearrangements, while whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and RNA sequencing demonstrated a hypomethylated genome and enrichment in immune-related pathways, respectively. Drug screening of NPC268 together with six other NPC cell lines using 339 compounds, representing the largest high-throughput drug testing in NPC, revealed biomarkers associated with specific drug classes. NPC268 represents the first and only available EBV-positive non-keratinizing differentiated NPC model, and extensive genomic, methylomic, transcriptomic, and drug response data should facilitate research in EBV and NPC, where current models are limited.
