Project description:To better understand molecular mechanisms of human pancreatic development associated with GATA6 haploinsufficiency, we performed RNA-seq analysis to characterize the biological processes affected by GATA6 heterozygous mutation. We identified 542 differential expression genes in the mutants, of which 310 were downregulated. Gene ontology analysis showed that top downregulated transcription factors were associated with developmental process.

Project description:Pancreatobiliary cancers have among the highest mortality rates of any cancer type. Discovering the full spectrum of molecular genetic alterations may suggest new avenues for therapy. To catalogue genomic alterations, we carried out array-based genomic profiling of 31 exocrine pancreatic cancers and 6 distal bile duct cancers, expanded as xenografts to enrich the tumor cell fraction. We identified numerous focal DNA amplifications and deletions, including in 19% of pancreatobiliary cases gain at cytoband 18q11.2, a locus uncommonly amplified in other tumor types. The smallest shared amplification at 18q11.2 included GATA6, a transcriptional regulator previously linked to normal pancreas development. When amplified, GATA6 was overexpressed at both the mRNA and protein level, and strong immunostaining was observed in 25 of 54 (46%) primary pancreatic cancers compared to 0 of 33 normal pancreas specimens surveyed. GATA6 expression in xenografts was associated with specific microarray gene-expression patterns, enriched for GATA binding sites and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activity. siRNA mediated knockdown of GATA6 in pancreatic cancer cell lines with amplification led to reduced cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and colony formation. Our findings indicate that GATA6 amplification and overexpression contribute to the oncogenic phenotypes of pancreatic cancer cells, and implicate GATA6 as a lineage-specific oncogene in pancreatobiliary cancer, with implications for novel treatment strategies. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. Tissue type: cancer xenograft from diff tissues Keywords: Logical Set cDNA microarrays from the Stanford Functional Genomics Facility were used to perform gene expression profiling on 28 out of 31 of the exocrine pancreatic cancer and all 6 distal bile duct cancer xenografts.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease characterized by late diagnosis and treatment resistance. Recurrent genetic alterations in defined genes in association with perturbations of developmental cell signaling pathways have been associated with PDAC development and progression. Here, we show that GATA6 contributes to pancreatic carcinogenesis during the temporal progression of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia by virtue of Wnt pathway activation. GATA6 is recurrently amplified by both quantitative-PCR and fluorescent in-situ hybridization in human pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia and in PDAC tissues, and GATA6 copy number is significantly correlated with overall patient survival. Forced overexpression of GATA6 in cancer cell lines enhanced cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar in vitro and growth in vivo, as well as increased Wnt signaling. By contrast siRNA mediated knockdown of GATA6 led to corresponding decreases in these same parameters. The effects of GATA6 were found to be due to its ability to bind DNA, as forced overexpression of a DNA-binding mutant of GATA6 had no effects on cell growth in vitro or in vivo, nor did they affect Wnt signaling levels in these same cells. A microarray analysis revealed the Wnt antagonist Dickopf-1 (DKK1) as a dysregulated gene in association with GATA6 knockdown, and direct binding of GATA6 to the DKK1 promoter was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Transient transfection of GATA6, but not mutant GATA6, into cancer cell lines led to decreased DKK1 mRNA expression and secretion of DKK1 protein into culture media. Forced overexpression of DKK1 antagonized the effects of GATA6 on Wnt signaling in pancreatic cancer cells. These findings illustrate that one mechanism by which GATA6 promotes pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia is by virtue of its activation of canonical Wnt signaling via regulation of DKK1. AsPC1 and A13A cells were stably transfected with a lentivirus expressing mock shRNA or shRNA to GATA6. Each control/shRNA pair (total 4 samples) was analyzed by two-color microarray and the genes commonly dysregulated in both cell lines identified.

Project description:We have previously described in mouse models that pancreas-specific deletion of Gata6 results in pancreas alterations by rendering pancreatic acinar cells in a non-fully differentiation state, and furthermore it accelerates tumor initiation and progression in a pro-tumorigenic context (KrasG12V expression). We aim to determine the sites where Gata6 binds at the genome-wide level in the pancreas to unveil why its loss leads to altered pancreatic function and enhanced tumor formation when coexpressed with KrasG12V.

Project description:By studying a mouse model, as well as human tumors samples and cell lines, we have revealed a tumor suppressive role for Gata6 in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In order to understand the mechanism underlying such tumor suppressive function, we analyzed the genome-wide DNA-binding of GATA6 in a human PDAC cell line (PaTu8988S). GATA6 is found to bind the promoter of genes involved in the epithelial differentiation programme, as well as of genes involved in the mesenchymal programme. With this we describe a novel GATA6-dependent mechanism of regulation of EMT. Examination of GATA6 binding to the DNA in a human PDAC cell line

Project description:We report the global gene expression of mouse pancreatic cells in a pancreas-specific conditional knock-out mouse for Gata6, as compared with age-matched controls. Total RNA was extracted from the pancreas of 6-8 -week old mice of the two genotypes and analyzed. at this age, Gata6P-/- pancreata are histologically normal, but the acinar differentiation programme is already altered. we observe that loss of Gata6 causes the de-repression of ectopic non-pancreatic genes, as well as some genes involved in the mesenchymal programme. mRNA extracted from the pancreas of 4 controls and 4 Gata6P-/- mice was sequenced.
