Project description:Characterization of ancestry-linked peptide variants in disease-relevant patient tissues represents a foundational step to connect patient ancestry with molecular disease pathogenesis. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) encoding missense substitutions within tryptic peptides exhibiting high allele frequencies in European, African, and East Asian populations, termed peptide ancestry informative markers (pAIMs), were prioritized from 1000 genomes. In silico analysis shows that as few as 20 pAIMs can determine ancestry proportions similarly to >260K SNPs (R2=0.9905). Multiplexed proteomic analysis of >100 human endometrial cancer cell lines and uterine leiomyoma (ULM) tissues combined resulted in the quantitation of 62 pAIMs that correlate with self-described race and genotype-confirmed patient ancestry. Candidates include a D451E substitution in GC vitamin D-binding protein previously associated with altered vitamin D levels in African and European populations. These efforts describe a generalized set of markers for proteoancestry assessment that will further support studies investigating the impact of ancestry on the human proteome and how this relates to the pathogenesis of uterine neoplasms.

Project description:Differences in microRNAs have not been well studied as potential mechanisms underlying the breast cancer disparity. A number of miRNAs were differentially expressed not only by tumor subtype but by ancestry, indicating differences in tumor biology of breast cancer between women of African and European ancestry. Findings may contribute to a better understanding of the biology of breast cancer disparities and help develop more targeted preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Study of genes that are differentially spliced and differentially expressed between African Americans and whites with lung squamous cell cancer. Despite racial disparities in lung cancer, the molecular landscape of lung cancer in patients of African ancestry remains underexplored. Population-related differences in alternative RNA splicing have not been explored. We identified differentially spliced genes and differentially expressed genes between lung squamous cell carcinoma from patients of West African and European ancestry.

Project description:We measured genomic responses to active vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), in colonic organoids from individuals of African and European ancestry. Given protective effects of 1,25D for gastrointestinal conditions such as colorectal cancer, organoid cultures enabled evaluation of condition-specific responses in relevant target tissue. We found significant alterations in transcriptional and chromatin accessibility responses to 1,25D treatment, including some with ancestry-associated differences, and also elucidated the role of cis-genetic variance on treatment responses. Integration of genomic profiling with genetic mapping found an indel that explains ancestry-associated differences in the regulation of POLB response to 1,25D which showed signals of positive natural selection.

Project description:Identification of promoter methylation profile associated with cervical cancer progression. The Ilumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs from 19 cervical samples (including normal, CIN I-II, in situ and invasive cervical cancer tissues).

Project description:In most cases human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are cleared from the cervical cells by the immune system itself, but in a few cases, where there is persistent HPV infection, it can lead to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) progression and ultimately invasive cervical carcinoma. The cytopathic effect is in general accompanied by chronic inflammation, which produces inflammation cytokines that contribute to DNA damage, and at the same time, aberrations occurred in the host DNA repair mechanisms, thus lead to HPV genomic integration into the host cells which propels cell immortalization. In this study, we reported the genome-wide expression profiles of both microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs from 24 cervical samples with consecutive stages of normal, CIN I (mild dysplasia) and CIN III (severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ), and presented the SIG++ algorithm which is founded on the evolution process of intermolecular regulation change during disease progression, to identify the significant change of miRNA-mRNA regulations rather than the expression change, across different disease stages, thereupon elucidating the molecular mechanisms of increasing host genomic instability as disease progresses. As reconstructing miRNA differential networks, we found that at each stage of CIN, there respectively exists specific miRNA regulations mediating chronic inflammation persistence, genome instability and cell survival, which coordinately carrys out the integration of HPV genomes into the host cell genomes, and finally results in cell immortalization. Beyond the specific implications for cervical carcinogenesis, this work establishes a new framework for studying the biology of miRNAs in pathogenesis from the perspective of miRNA differential regulation, and helps ensure the comprehensiveness of miRNA-mediated genetic regulatory pathways. There are totally 24 clinical samples in this study comprises three stages: 7 normal cervix samples (HPV-), 9 CIN I samples (HPV+) and CIN III samples (HPV+), where normal refers to the adjacent tissue of early lesions. For each sample, its total RNA was extracted and purified, then separately hybridized to Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip (gene symbol) and Illumina Human v2 MicroRNA Expression BeadChip, for examining the expression profiles of mRNAs and miRNAs, respectively.

Project description:Epigenetic modifications, such as aberrant DNA promoter methylation is frequently observed in cervical cancer. Identification of hypermethylated regions maybe useful for discrimination between normal cervical epithelium and high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) or worse may improve current cervical cancer population-based screening programs. In this study, the DNA methylome of high-grade CIN lesions were characterised using genome-wide methylation screening to identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of cervical neoplasia. Methyl-DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) combined with DNA microarray was used to compare DNA methylation profiles of epithelial cells derived from high-grade CIN lesions with normal cervical epithelium resulting in the identification of hypermethylated differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Validation of 9 selected DMRs by MSP or BSP in cervical tissue revealed methylation in 63.2-94.7% high-grade CIN and in 59.3-100% cervical carcinomas. QMSP for the two most significant high-grade CIN-specific methylation markers was applied exploring test performance in a large series of cervical scrapings. Frequency and relative level of methylation were significantly different between normal and cancer samples (p<0.001). Clinical validation of both markers in cervical scrapings from patients referred with an abnormal cervical smear, confirmed that frequency and relative level of methylation were related with increasing severity of the underlying CIN lesion (p<0.001) and the ROC analysis was discriminative (p<0.005). These possible methylation markers represent COL25A1 and KATNAL2 promoters and their observed increased methylation upon progression is in agreement with their biological function (cytoskeleton regulation). In conclusion, our newly identified hypermethylated DMRs represent specific DNA methylation patterns in high-grade CIN lesions and could be potential biomarkers for early detection.

MeDIP with subsequent microarray analysis was performed on DNA isolated from frozen macrodissected epithelial tissue of CIN3 lesions (n=15) and normal cervices (n=10).

Project description:Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), also known as cervical dysplasia, is premalignant lesions of the cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) that shows abnormal growth of squamous cells in the cervix epithelium. Given the evidence suggesting that differences may exist between CIN and CSCC, we hypothesize that progression may be mediated by subpopulation selection or by acquisition of additional alterations, including gene mutations or chromosomal alterations. In this study, we analyzed cervical CIN, microinvasive carcinoma (MIC) and CSCC by whole-exome sequencing and array-comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) and found that CIN genomes harbored fewer mutations (especially fewer driver mutations) and copy number alterations (CNAs), suggesting that additional genomic alterations might burst onto the CIN genome at the final stage of CIN progression to CSCC or an early stage of CSCC.
