Project description:Circulating tumor cells in the peripheral have proven to be independent prognostic factors for overall survival the monitoring of therapeutic success of human breast cancer patients. Postmortem morphologic evidence also points towards the presence of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood of dogs with metastatic canine mammary tumors. However, the existence of these cells has not been verified in canines in vivo and they have not been isolated and characterized due to the lack of appropriate and canine specific detection methods. In the present study a panel of 73 genes with high expression levels in canine mammary carcinoma cells and but not in peripheral blood leukocytes were identified using microarray analysis. From this panel, six mRNA markers, AGR2, ATP8B1, CRYAB, F3 and IRX3, were expressed in canine mammary carcinoma cells but not in the peripheral blood of dogs. All six RT-PCR assays, were sensitive enough detect one carcinoma cell admixed in 106 or more peripheral blood leukocytes, a common concentration of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood of human breast cancer patients. These five mRNA markers may therefore be used to detect canine mammary circulating tumor cells and to study their spatio-temporal presence in the peripheral blood of canine patients. Two canine mammary carcinoma cell lines, CMM115 and CMM26, and peripheral blood samples of 3 healthy dog donors were used for microarray analysis. All blood donors were female, showed no signs of infectious or inflammatory disease and did not have mammary gland tumors or any other identifiable tumors at the time of collection. Furthermore, blood cell count and blood chemistry were unremarkable in all dogs.

Project description:5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is one of the natural amino acids and a product of the first heme synthesis pathway in mitochondria. Recently, a supplement containing ALA is available in Japan and used for the purpose of the enhancement of ATP synthesis via mitochondrial activity. In humans, the immunomodulatory effect of ALA has attracted attention as a new function of ALA, and its application to cancer, inflammatory disease, and autoimmune diseases are being investigated. In the present study, to evaluate the effects of ALA on canine immunity, we performed in vitro studies using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy dogs. Heme oxygenase-1 protein was expressed in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells and PBMCs treated with 5-ALA and ferrous sodium citrate (SFC), which showed that ALA works in dogs as well as humans. When PBMCs were stimulated with concanavalin A (ConA), the addition of ALA resulted in a significant increase in interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) produced by ConA-stimulated PBMCs. A comprehensive genetic alteration using next-generation RNA sequences (RNA-seq) was performed. From the result of RNA-seq, ALA enhanced the gene expression of T cell immunity including Th1, Th2, and Th17 subsets. In particular, the IL-17 signaling pathway was significantly upregulated. Then, we confirmed that ALA promoted the production of interleukin (IL)-17A in ConA-stimulated PBMCs. Together, these findings reveal that ALA promotes heme synthesis in mitochondria and enhances ConA-induced T cell immune responses in canine PBMCs.

Project description:Abnormal function of genes is at the root of most cancers, but heritable cancer syndromes account for a very small minority of all tumors in humans and domestic animals. The majority of cancers are “sporadic,” that is, they are not heritable in the strictest sense. Instead, sporadic cancers occur due to interactions of unknown intrinsic (heritable) and environmental factors that lead to malignant transformation and uncontrolled growth. Identification of heritable risk factors in sporadic human cancers is difficult because individual genetic backgrounds are very heterogeneous. To this end, individual genetic backgrounds of purebred dogs are more homogeneous, and dog breeds show different predilection to develop specific cancers. Here, we used genomic screens based on gene expression profiling to identify sets of genes that may contribute to the development of canine hemangiosarcoma, a relatively common endothelial sarcoma. Specific genes in a single breed (Golden Retrievers) are modulated by (or with) heritable risk traits, showing functional features that appear to modulate tumor behavior. Our results suggest these methods are suitable to identify genes that will enhance our understanding of how these cancers happen, as well as possible treatment targets that will improve outcomes of both human and canine cancer patients.

Project description:Diverse dataset of 1247 dogs from many breeds and wolves used to investigate the origins of dog domestication DNA for 1228 dogs from 35 breeds and 19 wolves was extracted from whole blood samples and genotyped on the Affymetrix Canine v2 Arrays. Genotypes were called using Affymetrix's snp5-probeset-genotype software and the BRLMM-P calling algorithm. The included breed designations are owner reported.
