Tracking transcriptional changes in a species-specific manner during experimental hepatoblastoma progression in vivo

ABSTRACT: Hepatoblastoma is a primitive liver cancer occurring mainly in infants with defined molecular alterations driving its progression, which is difficult to model in vivo. Here we present a new animal model for hepatoblastoma on the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), which recapitulates relevant features of hepatoblastoma in patients. Expression of classic tumor-associated proteins such as β-catenin, EpCAM and CK19 was maintained in acini-like organized tumors on CAM, as was synthesis of AFP, a tumor marker used for monitoring patient response. RNA sequencing revealed an unexpected molecular evolution of hepatoblastoma cells on the CAM, with significant deregulation of more than 6000 genes including more than half of all HOX genes. Bioinformatic analysis could clearly distinguish between tumor cell-expressed genes and chick host genes, thereby shedding new light on the complex interactions taking place during experimental hepatoblastoma progression. Importantly, human tumor suppressive ribosomal genes were downregulated after implantation, whereas mitochondrial genes encoding for anti-apoptotic peptides were strongly induced in vivo. Meprin-1α expression was increased during evolution of CAM tumors and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for hepatoblastoma, showed significant anti-tumoral effects in this model. Our results broaden the understanding of the molecular adaptation process of human cancer cells to the microenvironment and might help to elaborate novel therapeutic concepts for the treatment of this pediatric liver tumor.

Gene signatures in wound tissue as evidenced by molecular profiling in the chicken embryo model

Project description:Modern functional genomic approaches may help to better understand the molecular events involved in tissue morphogenesis and to identify molecular signatures and pathways. We have recently applied transcriptomic profiling to evidence molecular signatures in the development of the normal chicken chorioallantoic membrane and in tumor engrafted on the CAM. We have now extended our studies by performing a transcriptome analysis in the wound model of the chicken CAM which is another relevant model of tissue morphogenesis. To induce granulation tissue formation, we performed wounding of the chicken CAM and compared gene expression to normal CAM at the same stage of development. Matched control samples from the same individual were used. We observed a total of 282 genes up-regulated and 44 genes downregulated assuming a false-discovery rate at 5 % and a fold change > 2. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis lead to the identification of several categories that are associated to organismal injury, tissue morphology, cellular movement, inflammatory disease, development and immune system. Endothelial cell data filtering leads to the identification of several new genes with an endothelial cell signature. In summary, the chick chorioallantoic wound model allows the identification of gene signatures involved in granulation tissue formation and neoangiogenesis. This may constitute a fertile ground for further studies. CAM tissue from brown leghorn eggs was excised from three Control and Wound groups.

We have recently applied transcriptomic profiling to evidence molecular signatures in the development of the normal chicken chorioallantoic membrane and in tumor engrafted on the CAM. We have now extended our studies by performing a transcriptome analysis in the “wound model” of the chicken CAM which is another relevant model of tissue morphogenesis. To induce granulation tissue formation, we performed wounding of the chicken CAM and compared gene expression to normal CAM at the same stage of development.

The lncRNA PCAT29 inhibits oncogenic phenotypes in prostate cancer

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been associated with the development and progression of a variety of human cancers. However, to date, the interplay between known oncogenic or tumor suppressive events and lncRNAs has not been well described. Here the novel lncRNA, Prostate Cancer-Associated Transcript 29 (PCAT29), is characterized along with its relationship to the androgen receptor (AR). PCAT29 is suppressed by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and up-regulated upon castration therapy in a prostate cancer xenograft model. PCAT29 knockdown significantly increased proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells, while PCAT29 overexpression conferred the opposite effect and suppressed growth and metastases of prostate tumors in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays. Finally, in prostate cancer patient specimens, low PCAT29 expression correlated with poor prognostic outcomes. Taken together, these data expose PCAT29 as an androgen regulated tumor suppressor in prostate cancer PCAT29 was knockdown using shRNA in two prostate cancer cell lines VCaP and LNCaP.

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses provide insights into functional genes for hypoxic adaptation in embryos of Tibetan chickens

Project description:Tibetan chickens, a unique plateau breed, have good performances to adapt to high-altitude hypoxic environments. A number of positively selected genes have been reported in Tibetan chickens; however, the mechanisms of gene expression for hypoxia adaptation are not fully understood. In the present study, eggs from Tibetan (TC) and Chahua (CH) chickens were incubated under hypoxic and normoxic conditions, and vascularization in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of embryos was observed. We found that the vessel density index (VDI) in CAM of TCs was lower than in CHs under hypoxia incubation.Proteomic analyses of CAM tissues were performed in TC and CH embryos under hypoxic incubation using iTRAQ. We obtained 387 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that were mainly enriched in angiogenesis, vasculature development, blood vessel morphogenesis, blood circulation, renin-angiotensin system, and HIF-1 and VEGF signaling pathways. Twenty-six genes involved in angiogenesis and blood circulation, two genes involved in ion transport, and six genes that regulated energy metabolism were identified as candidate functional genes in regulating hypoxic adaption of chicken embryos. Therefore, this research provided insights into the molecular mechanism of hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chickens.

Effects of hypoxic preconditioning on neuroblastoma tumour oxygenation and metabolic signature in a chick embryo model

Project description:Hypoxia episodes and areas in tumours have been associated with metastatic dissemination and poor prognosis. Given the link between tumour tissue oxygen levels and cellular metabolic activity, we hypothesised that the metabolic profile between metastatic and non-metastatic tumours would reveal potential new biomarkers and signalling cues. We have used a previously established chick embryo model for neuroblastoma growth and metastasis, where the metastatic phenotype can be controlled by neuroblastoma cell hypoxic preconditioning (3 days at 1% O2). We measured, with fibre-optic oxygen sensors, the effects of the hypoxic preconditioning on the tumour oxygenation, within tumours formed by SK-N-AS cells on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of chick embryos. We found that the difference between the metastatic and non-metastatic intratumoural oxygen levels was small (0.35% O2), with a mean below 1.5% O2 for most tumours. The metabolomic profiling, using NMR spectroscopy, of neuroblastoma cells cultured in normoxia or hypoxia for 3 days, and of the tumours formed by these cells showed that the effects of hypoxia in vitro did not compare with in vivo tumours. One notable difference was the high levels of the glycolytic end-products triggered by hypoxia in vitro, but not by hypoxia preconditioning in tumours, likely due to the very high basal levels of these metabolites in tumours compared with cells. In conclusion, we have identified high levels of ketones (3-hydroxybutyrate), lactate and phosphocholine in hypoxic preconditioned tumours, all known to fuel tumour growth, and we herein point to the poor relevance of in vitro metabolomic experiments for cancer research.
