Aberrant brain-type neuronal programs in large-cell pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma

ABSTRACT: High-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (panNEC) is a rare, aggressive cancer with limited tissue availability. Single-nucleus transcriptomics of five large-cell panNECs revealed two interesting neuroendocrine cell states: one highly proliferative with an aberrant brain-specific neuronal differentiation program and another stress-responsive state enriched for heat stress, hypoxia, and glycolysis. Our findings suggest potential therapeutic vulnerabilities, highlighting the need to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapies.

The retinoblastoma protein regulates hypoxia-inducible genetic programs, tumor cell invasiveness and neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer cells

Project description:Loss of tumor suppressor proteins, such as the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), results in tumor progression and metastasis. Metastasis is facilitated by low oxygen availability within the tumor that is detected by hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs). The HIF1 complex, HIF1Î± and dimerization partner the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), is the master regulator of the hypoxic response. Previously, we demonstrated that Rb represses the transcriptional response to hypoxia by virtue of its association with HIF1. In this report, we further characterized the role of Rb in HIF1-regulated genetic programs by stably ablating Rb expression with retrovirally-introduced short hairpin RNA in LNCaP and 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells. DNA microarray analysis revealed that Rb regulates specific chromosomal gene clusters and loss of Rb in conjunction with hypoxia leads to dysregulation of HIF1-regulated genetic programs that increase cell invasion and promote neuroendocrine differentiation. For the first time, we have established a direct link between hypoxic tumor environments, Rb inactivation and progression to late stage metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Understanding the molecular pathways responsible for progression of benign prostate tumors to metastasized and lethal forms will aid in the development of more effective prostate cancer therapies. RNAs derived from human LNCaP cells stably infected with either scrambled control shRNA or a shRNA directed to RB1. Cells were exposed to either 24 h hypoxia (1% O2) or maintained under normoxic conditions. Biological triplicates were tested and compared.

Project description:Loss of tumor suppressor proteins, such as the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), results in tumor progression and metastasis. Metastasis is facilitated by low oxygen availability within the tumor that is detected by hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs). The HIF1 complex, HIF1α and dimerization partner the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), is the master regulator of the hypoxic response.

Proteomic Analysis of Canine Hepatobiliary Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Project description:Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the gallbladder and liver occur rarely in dogs and humans. A recent reclassification of human neuroendocrine neoplasms by the World Health Organization has refined categorization of these tumors by morphology, replicative indices, and molecular signatures. In humans, these factors correlate with survival outcomes. Improved characterization of these tumors is needed in dogs to identify diagnostic biomarkers and determine therapeutic strategies. To achieve this objective, the proteome of 3 canine hepatobiliary neoplasms was compared to normal canine adrenal and liver tissue from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples. Thirty-two upregulated and 121 downregulated differentially expressed proteins were identified in the hepatobiliary neuroendocrine neoplasm samples. Among the upregulated proteins is galectin-1, a multivalent carbohydrate binding protein known to play a role in lung and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia development and progression in humans. Drugs targeting the galectin family have shown promise as anticancer therapeutics in cervical cancer, prostate cancer, lung and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia in human medicine. Galectin-1 may represent a novel treatment target in hepatobiliary neuroendocrine neoplasia in both humans and dogs.

A three marker signature to distinguish Small cell from large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma: Study at transcriptomic and protein level

Project description:To identify potential markers for distinction of Small cell (SCLC) from large cell neuroendocrine (LCNEC) carcinoma, we have conducted the gene expression profiling on precisely isolated cancer cells and bronchial epithelial cells from these tumours and normal background lung. After statistical analysis and finding highly differentially expressed genes between these tumour groups, we performed qRT-PCR to delineate markers to test at protein level using immunohistochemistry. Markers showing statistical significance at qRT-PCR level were taken forward to stain tissue microarray sections of SCLC and LCNEC to further delineate markers. This resulted in identification of BAI3, CDX2, VIL1 and CD99 as potential candidates. These markers were then taken forward to stain whole sections of tumour sample available in house (University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire) which resulted in elimination of CD99. Thus, BAI3, CDX2 and VIL1 were taken further forward to stain tumour samples acquired externally in UK. Four Small cell lung carcinoma, four large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and seven background lungs were laser microdissected and profiled on Agilent SurePrint G3 human gene expression 8x60K single channel array to identify potential markers for their classification and validated using qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.

A novel role for Neurog2 in MYCN driven neuroendocrine plasticity of prostate cancer (shRNA)

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) presents a formidable clinical challenge owing to its aggressive progression and resistance to conventional therapies. A key driver of NEPC is the overexpression of MYCN, a well-established oncogene associated with neuroendocrine tumors. However, efforts to directly inhibit the N-Myc protein encoded by this gene have resulted in limited success, thereby hindering therapeutic advancements. To overcome this obstacle, we conducted unbiased genome-wide screening using isogenic prostate cancer cell lines to identify the synthetic vulnerabilities of MYCN. Among the identified candidates, NEUROG2 emerged as a significant candidate. Neurog2 is a proneural transcription factor (PTF) known for its role in developmental processes and trans-differentiation of adult cells. Our findings demonstrate that Neurog2 depletion does not affect non-malignant cells but significantly suppresses the growth of MYCN-overexpressing cells and tumors in orthotopic NEPC models. Furthermore, our observations indicate that Neurog2-driven modulation of PTFs potentially contribute to NEPC development. Thus, targeting Neurog2 holds promise as an effective therapeutic strategy for MYCN-overexpressing NEPC.
