RNA sequencing (RNA-SEQ) of FOXM1 knockdown by siRNA in ovarian cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Purpose：Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) transcription factor is ubiquitously expressed in embryonic tissues but rare in differentiated cells. Increased expression of FOXM1 is observed in a variety of human malignancies. Here, we sought to characterize the expression and tumorigenic roles of FOXM1 in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Experimental Design：TCGA dataset were analyed to identify potential master transcriptional regulators in HGSOC. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the clinical signiﬁcance of FOXM1 in HGSOC. Invasion, clonogenic assays were conducted to determine to functional role of FOXM1. ChIP-seq and luciferase analyses were utilized to identify FOXM1 direct target genes in HGSOC. Association between mutant p53 and FOXM1 expression was investigated through TCGA data analysis, immunohistochemistry stainingand western blot. Results: We identified FOXM1 as a potential key transcription factor in ovarian cancer. FOXM1 was markedly increased in HGSOCs and high FOXM1 expression correlated with poor prognosis in HGSOC patients. Mechanistically, FOXM1 regulated CCNF and KIF20A at transcriptional level through binding on their promoters. Consistently, CCNF and KIF20A were elevated in HGSOCs and correlated with poor prognosis. Importantly, mutant p53 contribute to the high expression of FOXM1 in HGSOCs. Conclusions: These data reveal FOXM1 as a driver oncogenic transcription factor that promotes ovarian cancer malignancy which might be a potential drug target in HGSOC.

A designed inhibitor of p53 aggregation rescues p53 tumor-suppression in ovarian carcinomas

Project description:Half of all human cancers lose p53 function by missense mutations, with an unknown fraction of these containing p53 in a self-aggregated, amyloid-like state. Here we show that a cell-penetrating peptide, ReACp53, designed to inhibit p53 amyloid formation, rescues p53 function in cancer cell lines and in organoids derived from high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOC), an aggressive cancer characterized by ubiquitous p53 mutations. Rescued p53 behaves similarly to its wild-type counterpart in regulating target genes, reducing cell proliferation and increasing cell death. Intraperitoneal administration decreases tumor proliferation and shrinks xenografts in vivo. Our data show the effectiveness of targeting a specific aggregation defect of p53 and its potential applicability to HGSOCs. Vehicle vs. ReACp53 treatment in 4 different samples: 2 cell lines (MCF7 w/ WT p53 as negative control and OVCAR3 w/ R248Q p53) and 2 clinical specimens (primary cells from patient #8 w/ WT p53 as negative control and primary cells from patient #1 w/ R248Q p53)

Distinct transcriptional programs of ascitic and solid cancer cells induce a different response to chemotherapy in high-grade serous ovarian cancer

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is responsible for the largest number of ovarian cancer deaths. The frequent therapy-resistant relapses necessitate a better understanding of mechanisms driving therapy-resistance. Therefore, we mapped more than hundred thousand cells of HGSOC patients in different phases of the disease, using single-cell RNA sequencing. Within patients, we compared chemonaive with chemotreated samples. As such, we were able to create a single cell atlas of different HGSOCs lesions and their treatment.

Comprehensive analysis of Bulk RNA-seq and Single-nuclei RNA-seq reveals the origin of high-grade serous “ovarian” carcinoma [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is characterized by late stage, rapid progression, easy drug resistance, high mortality and recurrence rate. Tubal secretory cells have always been considered as the origin cells of HGSOC, due to the high heterogeneity of the latter, the type and mechanism of cell origin is poorly confirmed. Combined with single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and Bulk tissue transcriptome sequencing, we expounded the composition of epithelial cell subgroups of fallopian tubes and HGSOCs.

Lineage specific extracellular vesicle-associated protein biomarkers for the early detection of high grade serous ovarian cancer

Project description:High grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for ~70% of ovarian cancer cases. Non-invasive, highly specific blood-based tests for pre-symptomatic screening in women are crucial to reducing the mortality associated with this disease. Since most HGSOCs typically arise from the fallopian tubes (FT), our biomarker search focused on proteins found on the surface of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by both FT and HGSOC tissue explants and representative cell lines. Using mass spectrometry, 985 EV proteins (exo-proteins) were identified that comprised the FT/HGSOC EV core proteome. Transmembrane exo-proteins were prioritized because these could serve as antigens for capture and/or detection. With a nano-engineered microfluidic platform, six newly discovered exo-proteins (ACSL4, IGSF8, ITGA2, ITGA5, ITGB3, MYOF) plus a known HGSOC associated protein, FOLR1 exhibited classification performance ranging from 85-98% in a case-control study using plasma samples representative of early (including stage IA/B) and late stage (stage III) HGSOCs. Furthermore, by a linear combination of IGSF8 and ITGA5 based on logistic regression analysis, we achieved a sensitivity of 80% with 99.8% specificity and a positive predictive value of 13.8%. Importantly, these exo-proteins also can accurately discriminate between ovarian and 12 types of cancers commonly diagnosed in women. Our studies demonstrate that these lineage-associated exo-biomarkers can detect ovarian cancer with high specificity and sensitivity early and potentially while localized to the FT when patient outcomes are more favorable.

Transcriptomes of ex vivo grown spontaneous p53-R270H MYC murine ovarian and uterine cancers

Project description:Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) have fundamentally changed how ovarian cancer etiology, early detection, and treatment is understood. However, previous GEMMs of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) have had to utilize genetics rarely or never found in human HGSOC to yield ovarian cancer within the lifespan of a mouse. MYC, an oncogene, is amongst the most amplified genes in HGSOC, but it has not previously been utilized to drive HGSOC GEMMs. We coupled Myc and dominant negative mutant p53-R270H with a fallopian tube epithelium-specific promoter Ovgp1 to generate a new GEMM of HGSOC. Female mice developed lethal cancer at an average of 15.1 months. Histopathological examination of mice revealed HGSOC characteristics including nuclear p53 and nuclear MYC in clusters of cells within the fallopian tube epithelium and ovarian surface epithelium. Unexpectedly, nuclear p53 and MYC clustered cell expression was also identified in the uterine luminal epithelium, possibly from intraepithelial metastasis from the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). Extracted tumor cells exhibited strong loss of heterozygosity at the p53 locus, leaving the mutant allele. Copy number alterations in these cancer cells were prevalent, disrupting a large fraction of genes. Transcriptome profiles most closely matched human HGSOC and serous endometrial cancer. Taken together, these results demonstrate the Myc and Trp53-R270H transgene was able to recapitulate many phenotypic hallmarks of HGSOC through the utilization of strictly human-mimetic genetic hallmarks of HGSOC. This new mouse model enables further exploration of ovarian cancer pathogenesis, particularly in the 50% of HGSOC which lack homology directed repair mutations. Histological and transcriptomic findings are consistent with the hypothesis that serous uterine cancer may originate from the fallopian tube epithelium.

Classification of High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Using Tumor Morphologic Characteristics

Project description:Despite the similar histologic appearances of high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOCs), clinical observations point to marked differences in their gross appearances. Some patients have numerous small nodules, whereas others have bulkier disease; some patients have widespread disease, whereas others have more localized disease. However, a systematic framework for classifying such gross morphologic differences does not exist. The implementation of a laparoscopic triage algorithm for patients with advanced HGSOC enabled us to prospectively obtain detailed video images of HGSOC that could be analyzed to identify morphologic subtypes. In this study, we aimed to develop and characterize a gross morphologic classification system for HGSOC. Specifically, we assessed whether HGSOC can be reliably divided into distinct gross morphologic subtypes and whether such subtypes have different clinical outcomes and molecular features.

RNA Immunoprecipitation(RIP)-seq of Flag-USP39 in ovarian cancer cells

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma is the most lethal type of gynecologic malignancy.Emerging evidences have suggested the vital roles of splicing factor in the human cancers. RNA splicing pathways was found excessive activated in HGSOC. USP39 was one of overexpressed splicing factor in HGSOC. However, the biological function and concrete regulatory mechanism of USP39 in ovarian cancer remain unclear. In this study, we investigate the oncogenic roles of the splicing factor USP39 in HGSOC through facilitated the growth speed and invasion of ovarian cancer cells.Elevated USP39 expression levels, based on immunohistochemistry staining, were associated with poor survival in HGSOC patients. In order to investigate the binding peaks of USP39 in ovarian cancer,we performed RIP-seq in A2780 cells with Flag-USP39 overexpression.

Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers for High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Uncovered by Data-Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) represents the major histological type of ovarian cancer (OC), and lack of effective screening tools and early detection methods significantly contributes to the poor prognosis of HGSOC. Currently, there is no reliable diagnostic biomarkers for HGSOC. In this study, we performed liquid chromatography data-independent acquisition tandem-mass spectrometry on depleted serum samples from 26 HGSOC cases and 24 healthy controls (HCs) to discover potential HGSOC diagnostic biomarkers. A total of 1,847 proteins were identified across all samples, among which 116 proteins showed differential expressions between HGSOC patients and HCs. Network modeling showed activations of coagulation and complement cascades, platelet activation and aggregation, NET formation, TLR4, IGF, and TGF-β signaling, and suppression of lipoprotein assembly and FcγR activation in HGSOC. Based on the network model, we prioritized 28 biomarker candidates, and validated 18 of them using targeted MS assays in an independent cohort. Predictive modeling showed a sensitivity of 1 and specificity of 0.91 in the validation cohort. Finally, in vitro functional assays on four potential biomarkers (FGA, VWF, ARHGDIB, and SERPINF2) suggested that they may play an important role in cancer cell proliferation and migration in HGSOC.

KIF20A promotes the development of soft tissue sarcoma by activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway

Project description:Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a group of malignancies that can appear in any part of the body. The prognosis of STS patients remains unsatisfactory, mainly due to metastasis and recurrence. Upregulation of KIF20A is associated with poor prognosis of STS patients, but its downstream mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we found that downregulation of KIF20A in the STS cell line HT-1080 inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced cell apoptosis and G2/M arrest in vitro. In addition, downregulation of KIF20A in HT-1080 repressed tumorigenesis of STS in a xenograft mouse model. Pathway analysis showed, that downregulation of KIF20A led to suppression of downstream PI3K-AKT and NF-κB pathways. Specifically, the phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473 was inhibited. Taken together, our results indicate that KIF20A plays an important role in the development of STS by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, invasion via the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, KIF20A is a potential therapeutic target in STS.
