Project description:Background Cancer staging and treatment presumes a division into localized or metastatic disease. We proposed an intermediate state defined by ≤5 cumulative metastasis(es), termed oligometastases. In contrast to widespread polymetastases, oligometastatic patients may benefit from metastasis-directed local treatments. However, many patients who initially present with oligometastases progress to polymetastases. Predictors of progression could improve patient selection for metastasis-directed therapy. Methods Here, we identified patterns of microRNA expression of tumor samples from oligometastatic patients treated with high-dose radiotherapy. Results Patients who failed to develop polymetastases are characterized by unique prioritized features of a microRNA classifier that includes the microRNA-200 family. We created an oligometastatic-polymetastatic xenograft model in which the patient-derived microRNAs discriminated between the two metastatic outcomes. MicroRNA-200c enhancement in an oligometastatic cell line resulted in polymetastatic progression. Conclusions These results demonstrate a biological basis for oligometastases and a potential for using microRNA expression to identify patients most likely to remain oligometastatic after metastasis-directed treatment.

Project description:Urine was collected from 10 patients undergoing cardiac bypass (CBP) surgery following anesthesia induction. The study population divided into 2 post-operative outcomes: 5 experiencing acute kidney injury (AKI), and 5 not. A 1D LC-MS of individual patients was performed, as well as 2D LC-MS of pools of the five patients in each outcome set. Differential protein expression between outcomes indicated that within our experimental design, urine proteomics could not indicate AKI outcomes prior to CBP induction. SOMAscan assays on patient serum collected at the same time-point provided additional support to the notion that AKI outcomes are potentially a response to surgical stress, not a predetermined mechanism accessible prior to surgery.

Project description:Though mitogen activated protein kinase kinases (MKK or MEK) 1 and 2 are widely assumed to be functionally redundant some reports indicate they possess distinct biologic activities. To test the hypothesis that MEK1 and MEK2 signaling pathways are interchangeable we used two complementary approaches to determine the necessity and sufficiency of individual MEK1 and MEK2 signaling pathways for human melanoma SK-MEL-28 cell proliferation. To test the necessity we targeted MEK1 and/or MEK2 using specific siRNAs. An effect on proliferation was observed only when both MEK1 and MEK2 were knocked down indicating that neither of the individual MEK isoforms is necessary for SK-MEL-28 cell proliferation. To test the sufficiency we inhibited multiple MEK and MKK signaling pathways in SK-MEL-28 cells with anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) a MEK/MKK-specific protease and rescued individual MEK signaling pathways by expressing a cleavage-resistant form of MEK (MEKcr). In this fashion ERK activation was retained only in MEK2cr-expressing cells but not in MEK1cr-expressing cells following LeTx treatment. Microarray analysis revealed groups of non-overlapping downstream transcriptional targets of MEK1 and MEK2 and indicated a substantial rescue effect of MEK2cr on proliferation pathways. Furthermore LeTx efficiently inhibited the cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth of SK-MEL-28 cells expressing MKK1cr but not MEK2cr. These results not only indicate that in this cellular context MEK2 signaling pathway alone is sufficient for ERK activation melanoma cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth but MEK1 is not but also demonstrate that MEK1 and MEK2 signaling pathways are not redundant and interchangeable for melanoma cell proliferation. We conclude that while MEK2 alone is sufficient for SK-MEL-28 cell proliferation MEK1 can conditionally compensate for loss of MEK2. SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells +/- cleavage resistant MKK1/MKK2

Project description:Core needle biopsy (Cx) primary cancer specimens were collected at Okayama University Hospital in Japan from hormone receptor positive /HER2 negative patients that subsequently received two weeks of neoadjuvant hormone therapy. Thirty clinical TNM stage I and II women were enrolled in this study. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board and all patients signed informed consent forms. Patients received preoperative hormone therapy daily for two weeks before surgery. Premenopausal patients received tamoxifen (40 mg) and postmenopausal patients received letrozole (2.5 mg). All patients underwent a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery. Surgical samples after treatment were also collected. Hormone and HER2 receptor statuses were determined in the diagnostic Cx specimens before hormone therapy. Cases with ≥1% positive nuclear staining for estrogen receptors (ER) or progesterone receptors (PgR) with IHC were considered hormone receptor-positive. Cases with either 0 or 1 positive IHC staining for HER2 or with an HER2 gene copy number < 2.0 by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were considered HER2−. Specimens for gene expression analysis were collected into RNA and later stored at -80°C. Gene expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix U133A gene chips. Expression data were normalized using the MAS5 algorithm, mean centered to 600, and log2 transformed before further analysis.

Project description:Abstract Background: Several studies on the use of erythropoietin (Epo) to treat anaemia in patients undergoing cancer treatment have shown adverse effects on tumour control and survival. Experimental studies indicate that this could be linked to an interaction with wound healing processes and not an effect on tumour cells per se. We have previously shown that erythropoietin in combination with surgical trauma stimulates tumour growth. In the present study, we investigated the effect of surgery and Epo on gene expression. Methods: Human tumours from oral squamous cell cancer were xenotransplanted to nude mice treated with Epo. The tumours were then transected in a standardised procedure to mimic surgical trauma and the change in gene expression of the tumours was investigated by microarray analysis. qRT-PCR was used to measure the levels of mRNAs of pro-apoptotic genes. The frequency of apoptosis in the tumours was assessed using immunohistochemistry for caspase-3. Results: There was little change in the expression of genes involved in tumour growth and angiogenesis but a significant down-regulation of the expression of genes involved in apoptosis. This effect on apoptosis was confirmed by a general decrease in the expression of mRNA for selected pro-apoptotic genes. Epo-treated tumours had a significantly lower frequency of apoptosis as measured by immunohistochemistry for caspase 3. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the increased tumour growth during erythropoietin treatment might be due to inhibition of apoptosis, an effect that becomes significant during tissue damage such as surgery. This further suggests that the decreased tumour survival during erythropoietin treatment might be due to inhibition of apoptosis. Key words: Erythropoietin, Head and neck cancer, surgery, apoptosis, wound healing, xenograft. We wanted to study the effect of wound healing mechanisms on remaining tumour tissue efter incomplete surgery or biopsy. We xenografted human Head and Neck squamous Cell Cancer (HNSCC) tumours on Balb/c nude mice. The mice were divided in six groups. Three of the groups received intrapertoneal doses of erythropoietin (Epo) and the other three groups were given NaCl as placebo. One treated and one non-treated group were harvested without surgical transection. In the other four groups, the tumours were transected mimicking subtotal surgery. One Epo-treated and one non-treated group was analysed after 24 hours after transection and the remaining two groups 48 hours after surgery. Groups C and D were not analyzed due to harvesting at an unsuitable time interval. Group A No surgery (=FALSE) + Epo Group B No surgery (=FALSE) + NaCl Group E Surgery (=TRUE) + Epo 24 hours after surgical transection Group F Surgery (=TRUE) + NaCl 24 hours after surgical resection Group G Surgery (=TRUE) + Epo 48 hours after surgical transection Group H Surgery (=TRUE) + Nacl 48 hours after surgical transection

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) treatment is limited by the lack of effective non-surgical interventions to slow disease progression. Here, we examined the contributions of the subchondral bone properties to OA development. We used parathyroid hormone (PTH) to modulate bone mass prior to OA initiation and alendronate (ALN) to inhibit bone remodeling during OA progression. We examined the spatiotemporal progression of joint damage by combining histopathological and transcriptomic analyses across joint tissues. The additive effect of PTH pretreatment prior to OA initiation and ALN treatment during OA progression most effectively attenuated load-induced OA pathology. Individually, PTH directly improved cartilage health and slowed the development of cartilage damage, whereas ALN primarily attenuated subchondral bone changes associated with OA progression. Joint damage reflected early transcriptomic changes. With both treatments the structural changes were associated with early modulation of immunoregulation and -response pathways that may contribute to disease mechanisms. Overall, our results demonstrate the potential of subchondral bone-modifying therapies to slow the progression of OA.

Project description:Background: Many strategies to define subtypes and treat cancer relies on a presumption of either localized or widespread (poly)metastatic disease. We proposed an intermediate state of metastasis termed oligometastasis(es) characterized by limited metastatic progression and amenable to treatment by localized methods e.g. surgery or radiotherapy. Methods: To understand the biological basis of oligometastatic and polymetastatic progression, we analyzed microRNA expression patterns from lung tumor samples of patients with less than five metastases at first metastasis presentation and treated with metastasis-directed surgery. Results: Patients were stratified into four subgroups of oligo- and poly-metastatic progression based on the rate of metastatic progression over follow-up period. We prioritized microRNAs between the extremes of oligo- vs. poly-metastatic progression and validated their capacity to distinguish these phenotypes and predict survival in an independent validation dataset. Conclusions: Our results provide further evidence for the biological underpinnings of oligometastasis(es) and potential microRNA candidates to predict progression trajectories of patients and optimize corresponding metastasis-directed treatment.

Project description:Background: Gene expression profiling has been used extensively within breast cancer research. Patient matched transcriptomic studies of tumour samples before and after treatment offer great potential and have been initiated, but tend not to include a control group. Here we examine gene expression changes between patient-matched core biopsies and surgical resection samples in the absence of treatment, to consider sampling methods and tumour heterogeneity. Patients and Methods: Illumina BeadArray technology was used to measure dynamic changes in gene expression from thirty-seven paired baseline and surgically excised breast tumour samples obtained from women receiving no treatment prior to surgery. Results: Patient-matched sample pairs had significantly higher correlations than samples between different individuals, demonstrating that tumour heterogeneity and intra-tumour differences are less prominent than inter-tumour/patient differences. Perhaps surprisingly, consistent changes in gene expression were identified during the diagnosis-surgery interval, despite a lack of treatment. 50 genes were significantly differentially expressed (48 up, 2 down; FDR 0.05) in a manner that appears independent of both subtype and the sampling-interval length. Gene set enrichment analysis using four independent treated datasets has implicated the tumour sampling method as the likely cause of these expression changes which include increases in early growth response genes such as EGR1, 2 and 3 along with DUSP1 and FOS. Our data does not support the idea that there is a significant wounding or immune response. Conclusion: This is the largest cohort of patient-matched transcriptome profiling of tumours from patients receiving no treatment between diagnosis and surgery to date. It has revealed that consistent changes in gene expression do exist between diagnostic core biopsy and the surgical excision sample. We have confirmed these findings in a number of published breast cancer datasets. Ultimately, researchers should be aware of the potential for the tumour sampling method to introduce a confounding factor in future neoadjuvant studies. 37 paired patient-matched whole-transcriptome profiled primary breast tumours from patients receiving no treatment between diagnosis and surgery. Superseries is a product of two integrated individual batches.
