Project description:Although the introduction of combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy has significantly prolonged the survival, the outcome of OS patients with poor response to chemotherapy is still unfavorable. To develop new therapeutics the elucidation of the entire molecular pathway regulating OS cell proliferation is warranted. We analysed the expression levels of 933 miRNA probes in surgical 24 samples and 8 cell lines of osteosarcoma with 3D-Gene human miRNA oligo chips. Total RNA was extracted from 24 fresh frozen tumour specimens and 8 OS cell lines. We analysed the global miRNA exprssion profiles of these osteosarcoma cases in order to find new novel potential targets for the development of therapeutic targeting OS.

Primary outcome(s): For mRNA libraries, focus on mRNA studies. Data analysis includes sequencing data processing and basic sequencing data quality control, prediction of new transcripts, differential expression analysis of genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathway database are used for annotation and enrichment analysis of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes.
For small RNA libraries, data analysis includes sequencing data process and sequencing data process QC, small RNA distribution across the genome, rRNA, tRNA, alignment with snRNA and snoRNA, construction of known miRNA expression pattern, prediction New miRNA and Study of their secondary structure Based on the expression pattern of miRNA, we perform not only GO / KEGG annotation and enrichment, but also different expression analysis.. Timepoint:RNA sequencing of 240 blood samples of 80 cases and its analysis, scheduled from June 30, 2022..

Project description:Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy. OS consists of several subtypes including fibroblastic, osteoblastic and chondroblastic OS. We have developed genetically engineered mouse models of human OS that recapitulate two distinct subtypes, fibroblastic (Osx-CreLox p53-/- Rb-/-) and osteoblastic (Osx-Cre shRNA p53-/-) OS. The goal of this study was to identify transcriptional differences that distinguish the two subtypes. Methods: mRNA profiles of cell lines derived from tumours from Osx-Cre p53fl/fl Rbfl/fl (fibroblastic OS) and Osx-Cre shRNA TRE-p53.1224 pRbfl/fl (osteoblastic OS) mouse models were generated by RNA sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified 12,436 transcripts in the tumours of Osx-Cre p53fl/fl Rbfl/fl and 12,074 Osx-Cre shRNA TRE-p53.1224 pRbfl/fl with the TopHat workflow. RNA-seq data confirmed stable expression of 25 known housekeeping genes. Conclusions: Our study represents a detailed analysis of OS subtype transcriptomes generated by RNA-seq technology. mRNA profiles of cell lines derived from tumours from two genetically engineered mouse models of human osteosarcoma (Osx-Cre p53fl/fl Rbfl/fl and Osx-Cre shRNA TRE-p53.1224 pRbfl/fl) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
Project description:Expression analysis from two genetically engineered mouse models of osteosarcoma determine the expression profile of mouse osteosarcoma Human osteosarcoma (OS) is comprised of three different subtypes: fibroblastic, chondroblastic and osteoblastic. We previously generated a mouse model of fibroblastic OS by conditional deletion of p53 and Rb in osteoblasts. Here we report an accurate mouse model of the osteoblastic subtype using shRNA-based suppression of p53. Like human OS, tumors frequently present in the long bones and preferentially disseminate to the lungs; features less consistently modeled using Cre:lox approaches. Our approach allowed direct comparison of the in vivo consequences of targeting the same genetic drivers using different technology. This demonstrated that the effects of Cre:lox and shRNA mediated knock-down are qualitatively different, at least in the context of osteosarcoma. Through the use of complementary genetic modification strategies we have established a model of a distinct clinical subtype of OS that was not previously represented and more fully recapitulated the clinical spectrum of this human tumor. 4 primary tumors from Cre:lox OS model; 4 primary tumors from shRNA OS model.
Project description:Osteosarcoma in dogs is a spontaneously occurring disease with a global tumor gene expression signature indistinguishable from human pediatric tumors and clinical progression is remarkably similar. Unlike human OS, canine OS is a highly heritable disease with some large and giant dog breeds at >10x increased risk. We did a genome wide association study of osteosarcoma using the Illumina CanineHD genotyping array in three breeds: greyhound (mortality from OS = 26%), rottweiler (17%) and Irish wolfhound (IWH, 21%) and identified 33 inherited risk loci explaining 55 to 85% of phenotype variance in each breed. Data created for a genome-wide association studio of heritable osteosarcoma risk factors in dogs, including 267 racing greyhounds (153 affected (A) + 114 unaffected (U)), 135 rottweilers (80 A + 55 U), 141 IWH (76 A + 65 U) and 19 AKC greyhounds using the Illumina CanineHD array (~170,000 SNPs genomewide)
