Project description:Radiation therapy (RT) remains a vital component of the curative multimodality therapy for many types of cancer including breast cancer (BC) disease. Thus, many efforts from research teams are needed to help clinicians in understanding the molecular portrait of a specific cancer type. Moreover, technological advances in RT are evolving with the use of hadrons, such as protons. However, cell and molecular changes induced by proton exposure are poorly characterized as well as molecular differences induced by high and low Linear Energy Transfer (LET) irradiation modalities, representing a topic of radiobiological interest. We analyze and compare molecular responses, in term of gene expression profile (GEP) changes, induced by conventional and non conventional radiation treatment modalities characterized by different LET values (using electron and proton beams respectively), delivering the same dose of IR, in tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic breast cell lines. We trust that this study could have a role in driving RT towards personalised treatments, evaluating possible combined treatments, based also on the molecular characterization in BC.

Project description:Today, Radiation therapy (RT) regimens are often used for many types of cancer including breast cancer (BC) disease. BC is an heterogeneous disease, at both clinical and molecular levels, presenting distinct subtypes associated with different clinical outcomes. This variability response may be caused by some factors linked to radiation or dependent to BC specific features such as tumor stage and hormone receptor (HR) status. We analyze and compare molecular responses, in term of gene expression profile (GEP) changes, induced by 9 and 23Gy of ionizing radiation (IR) in immortalized and primary cell cultures grouped according their Estrogen (ER) and Progesteron (PR) receptors positive or negative expression. Our explorative study gives some comprehensive hallmarks of the effects of the irradiation in BC cells. We trust that this study could have a role in driving RT towards personalised treatments, based also on the molecular characterization in BC.

Project description:Novel particle therapy was implemented into standard-of-care for cancer patients during the last years. However, experimental studies investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms are lacking although prognostic biomarker are urgently needed. The cancer stem cell (CSC)-related marker aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is known to impact on prostate cancer radiosensitivity through affecting defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS), reducing DNA damage repair and increasing cell survival. Surprisingly, we could show in a previous study that ionizing radiation itself enriches for ALDH-positive CSCs in a time- and dose-dependent manner through alteration in histone methylation. Within the present study, we investigated CSC marker dynamics upon proton beam irradiation and hypothesized that this novel particle therapy may have increased CSC targeting potential due to its increased ionization potential compared to conventional photon irradiation. However, we found that proton irradiation is affecting cellular dynamics and escape from cell death.

Project description:Specific Breast Cncer (BC) subtypes are associated with a bad prognosis due to the absence of successful treatment plans. Moreover, the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype, with estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) and human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) negative receptors status, were characterized by unsuccessful therapies, makes it a clinical challenge for oncologists. In addition, Proton RadioTherapy (PRT) represents an effective treatment also against conventional radiotherapy (RT) resistant cancers, and a promising therapeutically choice for TNBC. Our study aimed at analyze the in vivo molecular response induced by PRT in a MDA-MB-231 triple negative Breast Cancer xenograft model, focusing on gene expression profile (GEP) analyses. Our results demonstrate the multiple advantages of xenograft tissue microarrays for preclinical signature characterization of PRT to understand the molecular mechanism activated and to discover new molecular targets.

Project description:We performed comparative RNA sequencing of the early (4 hrs) dose response (0.5 – 200 cGy whole body dose, 10 dose levels) of the mouse aorta to proton and gamma radiation. Total-body proton radiation of conscious animals was performed using a proton beam produced by a cyclotron system, while total-body gamma radiation of animals was performed using a Caesium-137 gamma source. A trend analysis identified genes that showed a dose response, using data permutation to estimate a false discovery rate (q-value) for each gene. We identified 29 and 194 genes (q-value ≤ 0.1) that were upregulated with increasing doses of proton and gamma radiation, respectively. No genes were down-regulated. While fewer genes were dose-responsive to proton radiation, the magnitude of the effect was greater than with gamma radiation. These highly responsive genes were enriched for pathways involved in the response to DNA damage, apoptosis, cellular stress and inflammation (p < 0.01). Gamma radiation responsive genes included the same pathways, but extended to genes in vasculature specific pathways. Genes responsive to both radiation types (19 genes at q-value ≤ 0.1) showed almost perfectly superimposable dose-response relationships. We observed the same superimposable dose response relationship of gamma and proton radiations in a subset of genes validated by quantitative PCR not only in the aorta but also in liver, lung, heart and kidney. Despite a relative similar relative biological effectiveness of protons and gamma photons and the activation of canonical radiation response pathways by both radiation types, we detected marked differences in the genomic response. It seems plausible that these genomic differences translate into differences in the biological processes leading to cardiovascular pathologies.

Project description:Age plays a crucial role in the interplay between tumor and host; with further perturbations induced by irradiation. Proton irradiation on tumors induces biological modulations including inhibition of angiogenic and immune factors critical to “hallmark” processes impacting tumor development, in addition to physical targeting advantages. These advantages have provided promising results for proton therapy in cancer. Additionally, protons have implications for carcinogenesis risk of space travel (due to the high proportion of high energy protons in space radiation). Through a systems biology approach, we investigated how host tissue (i.e. splenic tissue) of tumor-bearing mice is altered with age, with or without whole-body proton exposure. Transcriptome analysis was performed on splenic tissue from adolescent (68 day) versus old (736 day) C57BL/6 male mice injected with Lewis lung carcinoma cells with or without three fractionations of 0.5Gy (1GeV) proton irradiation. Global transcriptome analysis indicated that proton irradiation of adolescent hosts caused significant signaling changes within splenic tissues that support carcinogenesis within the mice, as compared to old subjects. Increases in cell cycling and immunosuppression in irradiated adolescent hosts with CDK2, MCM7, CD74, and RUVBL2 as the key players were involved in the regulatory changes in host environment response (i.e. spleen). These results suggest a significant biological component to proton irradiation, operative through host age, that would indicate a modulation of host’s ability to support carcinogenesis in adolescence and the bestowal of resistance to immunosuppression, carcinogenesis, and genetic perturbation by old age.

Project description:Proton irradiation is touted for its improved tumor targeting due to the physical advantages of ion beams for radiotherapy. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that, in addition to targeting advantages, proton irradiation can inhibit angiogenic and immune factors and thereby modulate tumor progression. High-energy protons also constitute a principal component of the galactic cosmic rays to which astronauts are exposed. Increased understanding of the biological effects of proton exposure would thus contribute to both improved cancer therapy and carcinogenesis risk assessment for space travel. In addition, age plays a major role in tumor incidence and is a critical consideration for estimating cancer risk. We investigated the effects of host age and proton exposure on tumor progression. Tumor lag time and growth dynamics were tracked following injection of murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells into young (68 day) versus old (736 day) mice with or without coincident irradiation. Tumor progression was suppressed in old compared to young mice. Differences in progression were further modulated by proton irradiation (1GeV), with increased inhibition evident in old mice. Through global transcriptome analysis, TGFβ1 and TGFβ2 were determined to be key players that contributed to the tumor dynamics observed. These findings point to older hosts providing decreased systemic tumor support, which can be further inhibited by proton irradiation. For genome-wide expression profiling of tumor tissue, Mouse WG-6 BeadArray chips (Illumina, San Diego, CA) were used. Total RNA was amplified with the Ambion Illumina TotalPrep Amplification Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX) and labeled from all replicate biological samples for each condition. For tumor replicates, thirty tumor samples from adolescent and thirty tumor samples from old mice, for a total of 60 tumor samples, were used. All replicate samples were run individually. For each age group, ten tumor samples had received proton irradiation while twenty tumor samples were from unirradiated mice (as described above). Total RNA was isolated and purified using TRIzol (Invitrogen) and quantified using an Agilent Bioanalyzer. Samples were deemed suitable for amplification and hybridization if they had 28s/18s = 2:1, RIN >7. Total RNA of 500ng per sample was amplified using AmbionTotalPrep, and 1.5ug of the product was loaded onto the chips. Following hybridization at 55C, the chips were washed and then scanned using the Illumina iScan System. The data was checked with GenomeStudio (Illumina) for quality control. In GenomeStudio, data was background subtracted and rank invariant normalization was applied. Data was imported into MultiExperiment Viewer, MeV, for statistical analysis. The statistically significant genes were determined using MeV by applying a one-way ANOVA analysis with standard Bonferroni correction with a FDR <0.05 that resulted in a list of significant genes. Average gene expression signals <10 were filtered out due to signal being
