Project description:Gestational choriocarcinoma arises from the cells of conception and is usually characterized as a fast growing, invasive and aggressive malignancy. The overall incidence is approximately 1 case per 50,000 pregnancies and aside from increasing maternal age does not appear to have any other risk factors. In contrast to most malignancies, gestational choriocarcinoma is frequently treated on a clinical diagnosis without a biopsy and therefore tumor samples of sufficient quantity to permit detailed genetic analysis are exceptionally rare. As a result, no previous whole genome sequencing or methylation studies have been reported for this rare diagnosis. With the aim of investigating the potential contribution of epigenetic changes to the pathogenesis of this rare malignancy, we have performed a methylation analysis from routine processed FFPE material in a case of intra-placental choriocarcinoma.

Project description:Non-gestational choriocarcinoma (NGC) is a rare subtype of malignant germ cell tumor. We established a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model using tumor tissue from an 18-year-old patient with NGC. Then, we performed mRNA-seq analysis using the fresh-frozen tissues of the original tumor and the PDX model.

Project description:Background: Gestational age determination by traditional tools (last menstrual period, ultrasonography measurements and Ballard Maturational Assessment in newborns) have major limitations and therefore there is a need to find molecular marker approaches that can be used to determine the accurate gestational age of the newborn. Methods: We performed RRBS (Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing) on 41 cord blood and matching placenta samples. Results: We identified a set of 316 Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs) that undergo demethylation in late gestational age in cord blood cells and can predict the gestational age (r = -0.7, p value<0.0001). Once the set of 411 DMRs that undergo de novo methylation in late gestational age was used in combination with the first set it generated a more accurate clock (r=0.77, p value=1.87E-05). Conclusion: Taken together, this study demonstrates that DNA methylation can accurately predict gestational age. The clinical use of this predictor should be further investigated.

Project description:Choriocarcinoma is one of the rare gynecological malignancies with aggressive behavior. Vorinostat is an approved HDAC inhibitor, and HDACs play important roles in regulating gene expression and modulating various cellular processes. Here, the human choriocarcinoma cell lines (JAR and JEG-3) were treated with 1 μM vorinostat or DMSO for 48 h. Then, total RNA was extracted, and transcriptome analysis was performed.

Project description:The term gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) describes a range of pathologies derived from the villous trophoblasts of the placenta. These include benign entities such as partial and complete hydatidiform mole as well as invasive cancers such as gestational choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumors, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumors. Collectively, the malignant forms of GTD are known as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). The risk of GTN following a complete molar pregnancy ranges between 8-25%. Low risk patients are expected to have a high likelihood of response to single agent chemotherapy with methotrexate or actinomycin D, but the incidence of resistance to single agent chemotherapy among low risk patients remains 25-50%. We used gene expression microarrays to compare methotrexate sensitive trophoblastic cell lines to sublines that were conditioned to become methotrexate resistant.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of cord blood cells obtained from gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies. The Illumina EPIC methylation beadchip array was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpG dinucleotide methylation loci in DNA isolated from cord blood. Samples include 165 GDM subjects.

Project description:Accurate diagnoses are crucial in determining the most effective treatment across different cancers. In challenging cases, morphology-based traditional pathology methods have important limitations, while molecular profiling can provide valuable information to guide clinical decisions. We present a 35-year female with lung cancer with choriocarcinoma features. Her disease involved the right lower lung, brain, and thoracic lymph nodes. The pathology from brain metastasis was reported as “metastatic choriocarcinoma” (a germ cell tumor) by local pathologists. She initiated carboplatin and etoposide, a regimen for choriocarcinoma. Subsequently, her case was assessed by pathologists from an academic cancer center, who gave the diagnosis of “adenocarcinoma with aberrant expression of β-hCG” and finally pathologists at our hospital, who gave the diagnosis of “poorly differentiated carcinoma with choriocarcinoma features”. Genomic profiling detected a KRAS G13R mutation and transcriptomics profiling was suggestive of lung origin. The patient was treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel/ipilimumab/nivolumab followed by consolidation radiation therapy. She had no evidence of progression to date, 13 months after the initial presentation. The molecular profiling could facilitate diagnosing of challenging cancer cases. In addition, chemoimmunotherapy and local consolidation radiation therapy may provide promising therapeutic options for patients with lung cancer exhibiting choriocarcinoma features.

Project description:We report the application of transcriptome sequencing for investigating of the hsa-miR-371a-5p and hsa-miR-518a-3p regulated genes. JAR, JEG-3 and BeWo choriocarcinoma cells were transfected with hsa-miR-371a-5p or hsa-miR-518a-3p inhibitors or control inhibitors. Totally, 237, 132 and 277 genes with > 2 folds change and adjusted P < 0.05 were upregulated in JAR, JEG-3 and BeWo cells respectively after hsa-miR-371a-5p knockdown. Meanwhile, 229, 269 and 191 genes were upregulated in JAR, JEG-3 and BeWo cells respectively after hsa-miR-518a-3p knockdown. The top upregulated genes included many oncogenes or oncogenesis associated ones. Enrichment analysis showed hsa-miR-371a-5p and hsa-miR-518a-3p regulated diverse pathways related to tumorigenesis and metastasis. Our results would be helpful for the searching of early molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

Project description:There is a growing body of evidence that inadequate maternal nutrition during gestation can have immediate and life-long effects on offspring. However, little is known about the reproductive effects of maternal gestational nutrition in offspring males. Here, using a sheep model of poor maternal nutrition (restricted- or over-feeding) during gestation, we found that poor maternal gestational nutrition does not affect semen characteristics (i.e. volume, sperm concentration, pH, sperm motility, sperm morphology) and scrotal circumference in offspring. However, by evaluating associations between poor maternal gestational nutrition and altered small non-cording RNAs (sncRNAs) and DNA methylation in offspring sperm, we demonstrated that poor maternal gestational nutrition alters sperm sncRNA composition and expression. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing further identified genomic regions with increased or decreased DNA methylation in sperm in response to poor maternal gestational nutrition. These findings imply that maternal diet-induced epigenetic errors can accumulate in sperm to worsen developmental outcomes of future generations.
