Project description:The lymphatic system is a common avenue for the spread of breast cancer cells and dissemination through it occurs at least as frequently as hematogenous metastasis. Approximately 75% of primary breast cancers are estrogen receptor (ER) positive and the majority of these maintain receptor expression as lymph node (LN) metastases. However, it is unknown if ER function is equivalent in cancer cells growing in the breast and in the LNs. We have developed a model to assess estrogen responsiveness in ER(+) breast tumors and LN metastases. Fluorescent ER(+) MCF-7 tumors were grown in ovariectomized nude mice supplemented with estradiol. Once axillary LN metastasis arose, estradiol was withdrawn (EWD), for 1 or 4 weeks, or continued, to assess estradiol responsiveness. On EWD, proliferation rates fell similarly in tumors and LN metastases. However, estradiol-dependent ER down-regulation and progesterone receptor induction were deficient in LN metastases, indicating that ER-dependent transcriptional function was altered in the LN. Cancer cells from estradiol-treated and EWD primary tumors and matched LN metastases were isolated by laser capture microdissection. Global gene expression profiling identified transcripts that were regulated by the tissue microenvironment, by hormones, or by both. Interestingly, numerous genes that were estradiol regulated in tumors lost estradiol sensitivity or were regulated in the opposite direction by estradiol in LN metastases. We propose that the LN microenvironment alters estradiol signaling and may contribute to local antiestrogen resistance. Experiment Overall Design: 10 samples, including 3 each of estrogen and estrogen withdrawn axillary lymph nodes and 2 each of estrogen and estrogen withdrawn primary mammary gland tumors.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is associated with high mortality rates and an unfavorable prognosis at advanced stages. In addition, there are no effective methods for diagnosing gastric cancer at an early stage or for predicting the outcome for the purpose of selecting patient-specific treatment options. Therefore, it is important to investigate new methods for GC diagnosis. We designed a custom microarray of gastric cancer. The customized microarray contained 1042 canceration and prognosis related genes identical to the probes on the Agilent microarray. DNA microarray profilling analysis was performed on gastric cancer tissues and premalignant tissues (20 samples per group).

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) was a worldwide cancer with high heterogeneity. More than 90% of GC patients in clinical practice were advanced GC, and the radical resection rate was only about 50%. For advanced gastric cancer, there is no specific targeted therapeutic regimen and the prognosis is poor. Extramural vessel invasion(EMVI) was identified as the tumor cells infiltrating through the gastric wall and into the lumen of extramural vessel. CT detected EMVI has been tested as the independent risk factor of the synchronous metastasis and long-term survival. The development of EMVI was believed as a defining characteristic of gastrointestinal cancer in advanced stage. In recent years, approaches and promising results arising from correlation of cancer imaging features with high-throughput data lead to the new research area known as radiogenomics. A significant amount of literatures in radiogenomics are promising to increase precision in diagnosis, assessment of prognosis and prediction of oncologic treatment . In the present study, we performed a CT detected EMVI related gene regulatory network analysis of differentially expressed coding genes in locally advanced GC. We screened the mRNA and their respective gene networks that were involved in the progression of CT detected EMVI.

Project description:Early gastric cancers (EGC) precede advanced gastric cancers (AGC) with a favorable clinical outcome compared to advanced gastric cancers (AGC). To understand the progression mechanisms of EGC to AGC, it is required to disclose the EGC and AGC genomes in terms of the the mutational and evolutionary perspectives. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing and copy number profiling of nine microsatellite (MS)-unstable (MSI-H) (5 EGC and 4 AGC) and eight MS-stable (MSS) gastric cancers (4 EGC and 4 AGC). Unexpectedly, we observed no substantial differences in the number, sequence composition and functional consequences (potential driver mutations and affected pathways) of the mutations and CNAs between EGC and AGC genomes in both MSI-H and MSS cases. Gastrectomy tissues from 17 GC patients were used for this study. The hospital pathology department confirmed pathologic features of the GC (e.g., EGC vs. AGC, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage). All of the picked areas from tumor and normal areas were frozen, cut, and stained with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E). Two pathologists selected cases with rich tumor cell population (at least 60%), which were subsequently used in the study. Copy number profiling was performed using Agilent 180K platform according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Project description:Lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) comprise lymphatic vessels that guide immune cells to lymph nodes (LN) and form the subcapsular sinus and cortical and medullary lymphatic structures of the LN. During an active immune response the lymphatics remodel to accommodate the influx of immune cells from the tissue. In this study we determined that a TSS motif within the cytoplasmic domain of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), expressed by LECs in the LN, participates in lymphatic remodeling during inflammation. Mutation of the TSS motif to AAA in the cytoplasmic domain of PD-L1 does not affect surface expression of PD-L1 but instead causes defects in LN cortical and medullary lymphatic organization following Poly I:C in vivo. Supporting this observation, in vitro treatment of the LEC cell line, SVEC4-10, with the cytokines TNF alpha and IFN alpha significantly impeded SVEC4-10 movement in the presence of the TSS-AAA cytoplasmic mutation. The cellular movement defects coincided with reduced F-actin polymerization, consistent with differences previously found in dendritic cells. Here, in addition to loss of actin polymerization we define STAT3 and Paxillin as important binding partners to PD-L1. STAT3 and Paxillin were previously demonstrated to be important at focal adhesions for cellular motility. We further demonstrate the TSS-AAA motif mutation of PD-L1 reduced the amount of pSTAT3 and Paxillin bound to PD-L1 both before and after exposure to TNF alpha and IFN alpha. Together, these findings highlight PD-L1 as an important component of a membrane complex that is involved in cellular motility which leads to defects in lymphatic organization.

Project description:22 patients with IDC: 8 without LN metastases (IDC) and 14 with sentinel LN metastases (IDCM). Sampling was limited to 29 paraffin blocks which could be used up without interference with diagnostic procedures: 8 IDCs, 11 IDCMs and 10 ipsilateral LN metastases [5 to the sentinel LN (first in lymph drainage chain, MS) and 5 to more distal (MD)]. 7 IDCMs had samples of their LN metastases (IDCM9,13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19). 3 samples of metastases (MS20, 21, 22) did not have paired primary IDCM samples and 4 IDCMs (IDCM10, 11, 12, 16) did not have samples of their LN metastases.

Project description:Pathological markers that can monitor the progression of gastric cancer (GC) may facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diffuse GC (DGC). To identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that can differentiate between early and advanced DGC in the gastric mucosa, miRNA expression profiling was performed using the NanoString nCounter method in human DGC tumors. Ectopic expression of miR-199a and miR-199b (miR-199a/b) in SNU601 human GC cells accelerated the growth rate, viability, and motility of cancer cells and increased the tumor volume and weight in a mouse xenograft model. To study their clinicopathological roles in patients with GC, miR-199a/b levels were measured in human GC tumor samples using in situ hybridization. High miR-199a/b expression level was associated with enhanced lymphovascular invasion, advanced T stage, and lymph-node metastasis. Using the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) luciferase assay, Frizzled-6 (FZD6) was confirmed to be a direct target of miR-199a/b in GC cells. siRNA-mediated depletion of FZD6 enhanced the motility of SNU601 cells, and addback of FZD6 restored cancer cell motility stimulated by miR-199a/b. In conclusion, miR-199a/b promotes DGC progression by targeting FZD6, implying that miR-199a/b can be used as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for the disease.

Project description:Lymph-node (LN) metastases predict for high recurrence rates in breast cancer patients. Eradication of micro-metastatic tumor cells is the primary goal of adjuvant systemic treatment. Decisions regarding systemic treatment depend largely on primary tumor characteristics rather than on characteristics of their LN metastases. However, it remains unclear to what extent LN metastases, having already metastasized locally, resemble their primary breast tumors and as such will be eradicated by the systemic therapy chosen. In this study we investigated the genetic differences between primary breast cancers and their paired LN metastases using array comparative genomic hybridization analyses on a high resolution 720K Nimblegen platform. Thus far, no metastasis-specific genomic aberrations have been identified. We hypothesized that this is due to low-resolution platforms and lack of stratification on breast cancer subtypes (specifically, triple-negative (TN) versus luminal). Furthermore, we speculated that as TN tumours are known to be more genetically unstable, their LN metastases would show an increase in random copy number aberrations (CNAs). Therefore, we studied 10 primary TN breast tumour–LN pairs and 10 luminal pairs and found that all LN metastases clustered nearest to their matched tumour except for two. These two were explained by poor hybridization quality and, interestingly, the presence of two histological components in one tumour. We found no significantly altered CNAs between pairs in the whole group, nor when subdivided over subtypes; neither did we find a CNA increase in LN metastases compared to primary tumours within the TN subgroup, suggesting most CNAs are functional and not random. Our findings suggest a strong clonal relationship between primary breast tumours and its LN metastases and support the use of the primary tumor characteristics to guide adjuvant systemic chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, since primary tumors and their subsequent LN metastases seem remarkably similar, at least prior to treatment. The experiment contains 27 paired primary breast cancer samples with their lymph node metastases, analysed on a 135K whole genome CGH array
