Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection being a major contributor to its development. Despite this, effective treatment for HBV-associated HCC remains a significant challenge. In this study, we combined the strengths of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and therapeutic vaccines to propose a novel strategy for treating HBV-related liver cancer. We engineered an oncolytic virus that delivers hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and the IL-15 cytokine directly to tumor cells, thereby enhancing immune activation and promoting tumor cell destruction. As the tumor cells die, they release additional virus particles, spreading HBsAg and IL-15 expression to neighboring tumor cells. This approach demonstrated promising efficacy in multiple HBV-positive HCC mouse models.

Project description:To investigate the inhibitory effect of K458R mutation of HNF4A on HCC, we established Huh-7 xenografts treated with Ad-GFP, Ad-HNF4A or Ad-K458R. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of three groups of Huh-7 xenografts treated with adenovirus.

Project description:Array-CGH was done with 5 prostate cancer cell lines and 13 prostate cancer xenografts to create genomic profiles of copy number alterations. The profiles were used to identify common alterations and define minimal regions of copy number changes. A normal female to normal male hybridisation was done to check the experimental conditions.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. On the basis of its histopathology and molecular-genomic changes ovarian cancer has been divided into subtypes, each with distinct biology and outcome. The aim of this study was to develop a panel of patient-derived EOC-xenografts that recapitulate the molecular and biological heterogeneity of human ovarian cancer. Thirty-four EOC-xenografts were successfully established, either subcutaneously or intraperitoneally, in nude mice. The xenografts were histologically similar to the corresponding patient tumor and comprised all the major ovarian cancer subtypes. After orthotopic transplantation in the bursa of the mouse ovary, they disseminate into the organs of the peritoneal cavity and produce ascites, typical of ovarian cancer. Gene expression analysis and mutation status indicated a high degree of similarity with the original patient and discriminate different subsets of xenografts. They were very responsive, responsive and resistant to cisplatin, resembling the clinical situation in ovarian cancer. This panel of patient-derived EOC-xenografts that recapitulate the recently type I and type II classification serves to study the biology of ovarian cancer, identify tumor-specific molecular markers and develop novel treatment modalities.

EOC-xenografts collected from subcutis, abdominal masses and ascitic fluid of mice engrafted with tumors at different passages (from 1 to 6) and from patient specimens, underwent one-color microarray-based gene expression profiling. To assess the amount of human- and mouse-derived cells in the xenograft tumors, total RNA was evaluated by species specific qPCR assays for beta actin. Only samples with a human RNA content > 75% were analyzed. Nine patient specimens and 62 xenograft samples (representing 29 EOC-xenograft models) underwent gene expression analysis with SurePrint G3 Human GE V2 8x60K microarrays.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high mortality rate due to the lack of effective treatments and drugs. Arsenic trioxide (As2O3, ATO, arsenious acid), which has been proved to successfully treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), was recently reported to show therapeutic potential in solid tumors including liver cancer. Although the mechanistic effects of ATO in APL are established, its anticancer mechanism of action in HCC is still unclear. METHODS: We established an HCC subcutaneous xenograft and intrahepatic metastasis mouse model. In CSC models, tumorspheres and the flow cytometry analysis of CSC markers together with limiting dilution and serial transplantation were used. We compared mRNA expression profiles of the ATO-treated and control cells with mRNA microarray. The expression of target molecule or a clinical correlation was analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining in tissues from ATO-treated mouse and 76 HCC patients. We generated five stable minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7)-knockdown and two stable MCM7-overexpression HCC cell lines. The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, immunoprecipitation (IP) assays, the dual luciferase reporter assays, a green biarsenical labeling reagent (FlAsH-EDT2) and a “competing endogenous RNA” (ceRNA) analysis were used. RESULTS: ATO could inhibit the liver tumor-initiating capacity and distant metastasis and prolongs survival in mice. We then screened and found that ATO downregulates the overexpression of MCM7 which is correlated with the progression and prognosis in HCC patients. Knockdown of MCM7 expression recapitulates the inhibition function of ATO on self-renewal of cancer stem cells (CSCs), while overexpression of MCM7 abolishes the inhibition function of ATO on tumorsphere formation. Most importantly, we revealed that ATO directly binds to the MCM7 protein and disturbs the interaction between serum response factor (SRF) and MCM7, resulting in downregulation of MCM7 transcription. A ceRNA analysis also indicated the alterations of endogenous MCM7-associated gene networks involved in stemness-related signaling pathways and cell differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: Here, for the first time, we report that ATO inhibits liver CSCs through blocking the interaction between SRF/MCM7 and suppressing MCM7 autoregulation activity.

Project description:Background: Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 (STAT1) has traditionally been regarded as a transmitter of interferon signaling and a pro-apoptotic tumor suppressor. Recent data have identified new functions of STAT1 associated with tumorigenesis and resistance to genotoxic stress, including ionizing radiation (IR) and chemotherapy. To investigate the mechanisms contributing to the tumorigenic functions of STAT1, we performed a combined transcriptomic-proteomic expressional analysis and found that STAT1 is associated with regulation of energy metabolism. Methods: We generated a stable knockdown of STAT1 in the SCC61 human squamous cell carcinoma cell line, established tumor xenografts in athymic mice, and compared transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of STAT1 wild-type (WT) and knockdown (KD) untreated or irradiated (IR) tumors. Transcriptional profiling was based on Affymetrix Human GeneChip® Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. Proteomes were determined from the MS/MS data by searching against the human subset of the UniProt database. Data were analyzed using Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) for RNA and Visualize software for proteins. Functional analysis was performed with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) with statistical significance measured by Fisher’s exact test. Results: Knockdown of STAT1 led to significant growth suppression in untreated tumors and radiosensitization of irradiated tumors. These changes were accompanied by alterations in the expression of genes and proteins of glycolysis (GG), the citrate cycle (CC) and oxidative phosphorylation (OP). Of these pathways, GG had the most concordant changes in gene and protein expression and demonstrated a STAT1-dependent expression of genes and proteins consistent with tumor-specific glycolysis. IR drastically suppressed the GG pathway in STAT1 KD tumors without significant change in STAT1 WT tumors. The STAT1 and glycolytic pathways were co-expressed in human breast tumors, and expression of STAT1-linked glycolytic genes was highly predictive of poor prognosis. Conclusions: Our results identify a previously uncharacterized function of STAT1 in tumors: expressional regulation of genes and enzymes involved in glycolysis, the citrate cycle, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, with predominant regulation of glycolysis. STAT1-dependent transcriptional and translational regulation of glycolysis suggests a potential role for STAT1 as a transcriptional modulator of genes responsible for the Warburg effect.
