Project description:As various data suggest that lncRNAs are important in human cancer, we hypothesized that they play a role in urothelial carcinogenesis. To test this hypothesis we analysed 83 normal and malignant urothelial samples using NCodeM-bM-^DM-" Human Non-coding RNA Microarrays for differentially expressed lncRNAs with potential regulatory functions in urothelial cell cancer (UCC). We identified global changes in lncRNA expression that reflect the disease phenotype. We then performed explorative analysis (siRNA gene knock-down and loss-of-function studies) of selected species and identified those with potential prognostic roles. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate the microarray findings. Total RNA was extracted from urothelial samples from 57 patients with UCC (23 low-grade NMI, 14 high-grade NMI and 20 invasive tumours) and from 26 disease free controls.

Project description:Urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder (UCC) is a common disease characterized by FGFR3 mutation. Whilst upregulation of this oncogene occurs most frequently in low-grade non-invasive tumors, recent data reveal increased FGFR3 expression characterizes a common sub-type of invasive UCC sharing genetic similarities with lobular breast cancer. These similarities include upregulation of the FOXA1 transcription factor and reduced expression of microRNAs-99a/100. We have previously identified direct regulation of FGFR3 by these two microRNAs and now search for further targets. Using a microarray meta-database we find potential FOXA1 regulation by microRNAs-99a/100. We confirm direct targeting of the FOXA1 3âUTR by microRNAs-99a/100 and also potential indirect regulation through microRNA-485-5p/SOX5/JUN-D/FOXL1 and microRNA-486/FOXO1a. In 292 benign and malignant urothelial samples, we find an inverse correlation between the expression of FOXA1 and microRNAs-99a/100 (r=-0.33 to -0.43, p<0.05). As for FGFR3 in UCC, tumors with high FOXA1 expression have lower rates of progression than those with low expression (Log rank p=0.009). Using global gene expression and CpG methylation profiling we find genotypic consequences of FOXA1 upregulation in UCC. These are associated with regional hypomethylation and near FOXA1 binding sites, and mirror patterns previously reported in FGFR3 mutant UCC. These include gene silencing through aberrant hypermethylation (e.g. IGFBP3) and affect genes that characterize lobular breast cancer (e.g. ERBB2, XBP1). In conclusion, we have identified microRNAs-99a/100 mediate a direct relationship between FGFR3 and FOXA1, and potentially facilitate cross talk between these pathways in UCC.

Project description:To gain a more depth knowledge of repressive epigenetic gene regulation in UCC, we have profiled H3K9m3 and H3K27m3 in normal and malignant urothelial cells. We matched these profiles to those 5-methylcytosine and gene expression. We hypothesized that differences represent pro-carcinogenic events within the urothelium. We identified a panel of genes with cancer specific epigenetic mediated aberrant expression. Two repressive histone modifications (H3K9m3 and H3K27m3) , cytosine methylation and gene expression were compared between normal human urothelial cell line (NHU) and malignant urothelial cells (EJ and RT112).

Project description:Smoking is a major risk factor for Urothelial carcinoma (UC). However the complex mechanisms, how smoking promotes carcinogenesis and tumour progression, remain obscure. A microarray based approached was therefore performed to detect the smoking derived gene expression alteration in non-malignant and malignant urothelial tissues from patients with superficial or invasive UC. Smoking enhanced cell migration and response to tissue damages. In non-malignant tissues smoking induced immune response and altered the cytoskeleton. In urothelial carcinoma, smoking altered extracellular and chromosome structures. Smoking affected tissues from patients with invasive carcinomamore strongly, up-regulating particularly growth factors and oncogenes in non-malignant tissue of patients with invasive but not with superficial carcinoma. In former smokers, comparable changes were seen in tissues form patients with invasive disease while they were minor or reversed in tissue of patients with superficial disease. Best but not complete tissue repair was suggestedfor non-malignant tissue from patients with superficial tumours. we used microarray techniques to define gene expression profile which may explain the contribution of smoking to urothelial carcinoma. Gene expression profiling using GeneChip HG-U133A Plus 2.0 (Affymetrix) was performed on non-malignant and carcinogenic urothelium from six patients with superficial and six with invasive urothelial carcinoma, each group including two current, former, and non-smokers.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is altered in up to 50% of urothelial cancers (UC), yet its functional impact is not fully understood. We generated a Cre-inducible FGFR3 S249C allele (LSL-FGFR3 S249C) to understand the functional impact of FGFR3 activation on UC biology, the immune microenvironment, and how FGFR inhibition combines with PD1 immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Uroplakin3a (Upk3a) driven expression of Trp53 R270H and FGFR3 S249C (UPFL) promoted tumor formation.
