Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by abundant stroma, the main cellular constituents of which are cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Heterogeneity in the PDAC CAF population was recently delineated demonstrating that both tumor-promoting and -suppressive activities co-exist in the stroma. Here, we aimed to identify biomarkers for the CAF population that contribute to a favorable outcome. Osteoglycin (OGN) was identified as a candidate serum prognostic marker. Single-cell analysis in KPC mice indicated that OGN is derived from a subgroup of inflammatory CAFs. OGN-expressing fibroblasts are distinct from resident healthy pancreatic stellate cells and arise during pancreatitis. Serum OGN levels were prognostic for favorable overall survival in two independent PDAC cohorts.

Project description:Medulloblastomas are heterogeneous tumors that collectively represent the most common malignant brain tumor in children. To understand the molecular characteristics underlying their heterogeneity and to identify whether such characteristics represent risk factors for patients with this disease, we performed an integrated genomic analysis of a large series of primary tumors. Identified are six molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma, each with a unique combination of numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations that globally influence mRNA and miRNA expression. We reveal the relative contribution of each subgroup to clinical outcome as a whole and show that a previously unidentified molecular subgroup, characterized genetically by c-MYC copy number gains and transcriptionally by enrichment of photoreceptor pathways and increased miR-183-96-182 expression, is associated with significantly lower rates of event-free and overall survivals. Our results detail the complex genomic heterogeneity of medulloblastomas and identify a previously unrecognized molecular subgroup with poor clinical outcome for which more effective therapeutic strategies should be developed.

Project description:Peritoneal carcinomatosis with malignant ascites is associated with dismal prognosis in gastric cancer. Malignant ascites is the most relevant body fluid in which to seek diagnostic biomarkers for peritoneal carcinomatosis. We aimed to identify and validate ascites-derived circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) that are differentially expressed between liver cirrhosis-associated benign ascites (LC-ascites) and gastric cancer-associated malignant ascites (GC-ascites). MiRNA expression levels were investigated in three independent cohorts. Overall, 165 ascites samples (73 LC-ascites and 92 GC-ascites) were obtained from the National Biobank of Korea. Initially, microarrays were used to screen the expression levels of 2,006 miRNAs in the discovery cohort (n = 22). Subsequently, quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses were used to validate the expression levels of selected miRNAs in the training (n = 70) and validation (n= 73) cohorts. In addition, the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a commonly used tumor marker, were determined in the ascites samples. Expression levels of miR-574-3p, miR-181b-5p, miR-4481, and miR-181d were significantly lower in the GC-ascites samples than in the LC-ascites samples, and miR-181b-5p showed the best diagnostic performance for GC-ascites (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.798 and 0.846 for the training and validation cohorts, respectively). The diagnostic performance of CEA for GC-ascites was improved if CEA and miR-181b-5p were analyzed together (AUC = 0.981 and 0.946 for the training and validation cohorts, respectively). Overall, we identified ascites-derived circulating miRNAs capable of differentiating non-malignant ascites and GC-ascites, and demonstrated that the combined use of miR-181b-5p and CEA produces the optimal diagnostic yield.

Project description:Background: Malignant ascites is often present at diagnostic in women with advanced ovarian cancer (OC) and its presence is associated with a worse outcome. Human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) are key components of malignant ascites. Although the interplay between HPMCs and OC cells is believed to be critical for tumor progression, it has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of ascites on HPMCs and clarify the role of HPMCs in OC progression. Methods: Human OC ascites and benign peritoneal fluids were assessed for their ability to stimulate HPMC proliferation. Conditioned medium from ascites- and benign fluid-stimulated HPMCs were compared for their ability to attenuate apoptosis induced by TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). We conducted a comparative analysis of global expression changes in ascites-stimulated HPMCs using Agilent oligonucleotide microarrays. Results: As compared to benign peritoneal fluids, malignant ascites stimulated the proliferation of HPMCs. TRAIL-induced apoptosis was attenuated in OC cells exposed to conditioned medium from ascites-stimulated HPMCs as compared to OC cells exposed to conditioned medium from benign fluid-stimulated HPMCs. A total of 649 genes were differentially expressed in ascites-stimulated HPMCs. Based on a ratio of more than 1.5-fold and a P < 0.05, 484 genes were up-regulated and 165 genes were down-regulated in ascites-exposed HPMCs. Stimulation of HPMCs with OC ascites resulted in differential expression of genes mainly associated with the regulation of cell growth and proliferation, cell death, cell cycle and cell assembly and organization, compared to benign peritoneal fluids. Top networks up-regulated by OC ascites included Akt and NF-κB survival pathways whereas vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway was down-regulated. Conclusions: The results of this study not only provide evidence supporting the importance of the interplay between cancer cells and HPMCs but also define the role that the tumor environment plays in these interactions.

Conclusions: The results of this study not only provide evidence supporting the importance of the interplay between cancer cells and HPMCs but also define the role that the tumor environment plays in these interactions. The expression profiles from human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) cultures exposed to peritoneal fluids and ovarian cancer ascites were compared using the Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligonucleotide microarrays, containing 44,000 genes. Microarrays were performed on HPMCs exposed to 3 malignant ascites from women with advanced (stage III/IV) serous OC and two benign peritoneal fluids. First, we generated lists of significantly up-regulated and down-regulated genes that were differentially expressed between OC ascites (OVC346, OVC508 and OVC509) and control OV370 peritoneal fluid. Then, the set of genes that were commonly expressed between control peritoneal fluids (OV370 and OV401) were subtracted from the first list of genes to generate a dataset of differentially expressed genes between malignant ascites and benign peritoneal fluids.
