Project description:We explored the expression profile of circRNAs in canine mammary tumours using high-throughput sequencing technology. In our study, we analysed the expression profiles of 3 pairs of canine mammary tumours and their adjacent normal tissues. The total RNA was extracted, and a RNA library was constructed. GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analyses revealed that these genes were mainly concentrated in 14 biological pathways. We selected 11 validated circRNAs and further confirmed the existence of these circRNAs by qRT-PCR. The circRNA-miRNA network diagram was constructed by using Cytoscape software. We found a total of 14851 circRNAs and 106 differentially expressed circRNAs in canine mammary tumours and their adjacent normal tissues (fold change ≥ 2, P ≤ 0.05). There were 64 upregulated circRNAs and 42 downregulated circRNAs. The main GO functions were the regulation of the regulated secretory pathway, the regulation of neurotransmitter secretion and the positive regulation of phagocytosis. Most of these pathways were related to the cGMP-PKG (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) signalling pathway, the cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) signalling pathway and the OXYTOCIN signalling pathway. CircRNAs have the function of adsorbing miRNA, similar to a sponge, and we further constructed the interaction network of circRNAs and miRNAs. The screened source genes closely related to canine mammary tumours included RYR2, PDE4D, ROCK2, CREB3L2 and UBA3. The screened circRNAs related to canine mammary tumours included chr27:26618544-26687235-, chr26:8194880-8201833+, and chr17:7960861-7967766-.In conclusion, our study uncovered circRNA expression profiles in canine mammary tumours. Moreover, some circRNAs may be used as potential biomarkers for screening dogs with high-risk canine mammary tumours.

Project description:Spontaneous mammary tumours are the most prevalent type of neoplasm in women as well as in female dogs. Even though ovarian hormones, mainly estrogens and progestins, are known to play a key role in mammary tumorigenesis, conflicting reports have been obtained from in vivo and in vitro studies concerning their role, especially of progestins, in mammary tumorigenesis. Prolonged exposure to high levels of progestins during unusually long luteal phase of oestrous cycle is suspected to be the key event in canine mammary tumorigenesis. Accordingly, our previous studies have shown development of mammary hyperplasia in dogs upon prolonged progestin administration. In this study, we used canine cDNA microarrays to identify oncogenic determinants in progestin-induced canine hyperplasia (CMH) and spontaneous tumours (CMC) by comparing them to normal tissue. CMH profile indicated amplification of genes involved in cell proliferation, like PCNA, NPY and RAN, and also alterations in expression of transcription factors and cell adhesion molecules. In addition to amplified cell proliferation signature, CMC profile also identified major alterations in expressions of genes involved in cell motility, cytoskeletal organization and extracellular components. Overall, gene expression profile of CMH indicated an advantage for cell proliferation, whereas that of CMC indicated an advantage for proliferation as well as neoclassic transformation. In conclusion, our findings indicate strong oncogenic potential of progestins in canine mammary gland. In addition, CMC gene expression profile greatly contribute to the identification of their molecular abnormalities and may facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets.

Project description:Genome-wide analysis identifies germ-line risk factors associated with canine mammary tumours

Project description:The objective of the present study was to assess the gene expression profiles of canine mammary carcinoma (in unsupervised manner) classified by pathologists as the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd grade of malignancy and compare their molecular and pathological classifications. Our analysis showed that some pathologically distinct tumours may have similar gene expression and vice-versa. Probably that is why the patients with the same pathological type of cancer often have various outcomes and respond in a heterogenous manner to anticancer agents. The molecular classification, contrary to the pathological methods, reflects the biological processes and pathways within the tumour cell, not only the morphological features. It is also helpful in the better understanding of cancer biology (genes responsible for tumourigenesis, molecular interactions within the tumour or genes involved in specific pathways which could be a target for future therapy). 18 canine mammary tumours (6 of the 1st grade of malignancy, 6 of the 2nd grade of malignancy and 6 of the 3rd grade of malignancy) were subjected to the analysis. RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed and hybridized on cDNA microarrays. Pooled RNA from all of the tumours was used as a reference, and dye-swaps were performed. Then, the unsupervised hierarchical analysis was performed.

Project description:Mammary cancer is the most common type of cancer in female dogs with a lifetime risk of over 24% when dogs are not spayed. The elucidation of the complete canine genome opens new areas for development of cancer therapies. These should be tested first by in vitro models such as cell lines. However, to date, no canine mammary cell lines have been characterized by expression profiling. In this study, canine mammary tumour cell lines with histologically distinct primary tumours of origin were characterized using a newly developed canine cDNA microarray. Comparisons of gene expression profiles showed enrichment for distinct biological pathways and were related to biological properties of the cell lines such as growth rate and in vitro tumourigenicity. Additionally, gene expression profiles of cell lines also showed correspondence to their tumour of origin. Major differences were found in Wnt, cell cycle, cytokine/Rho-GTPase, alternative complement and integrin signalling pathways. Because these pathways show an overlap at the molecular level with those found in human breast cancer, the expression profiling of spontaneous canine mammary cancer may also function as a biological sieve to identify conserved gene expression or pathway profiles of evolutionary significance that are involved in tumourigenesis. These results are the basis for further characterization of canine mammary carcinomas and development of new therapies directed towards specific pathways. In addition these cell lines can be used to further investigate identified deregulated pathways and characterize until now unannotated genes. Keywords: cell line type comparision

Keywords: cell line type comparision Three canine mammary tumor cell lines (CMT) originating from benign mixed tumor (CMT-U229), primary mammary osteosarcoma (CMT-U335) and primary mammary anaplastic carcinoma (P114) were compared directly to each other in this study. Total RNA was isolated from cells grown to near confluence. In vitro transcription followed by labeling and hybridization to cDNA microarray was carried out. In a loop design of hybridization, labeled cRNA from cell lines were hybridized against each other. Statistical analysis of the log transformed normalized data was done using SAM (significance analysis of microarray) and differentially expressed genes from each experimental subset (comparison of two cell lines) were identified. Dye swaps and at least one biological replicates were included under each experimental subset (each comparision).

Project description:[original title] Metastatic Canine Mammary Carcinomas can be Identified by a Gene Expression Profile that partly Overlaps with Human Breast Cancer Profiles. Introduction: Similar to human breast cancer mammary tumors of the female dog are commonly associated with a fatal outcome due to the development of distant metastases. However, the molecular defects leading to metastasis are largely unknown and the value of canine mammary carcinoma as a model for human breast cancer is unclear. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression signatures associated with mammary tumor metastasis and asked for parallels with the human equivalent. Methods: Messenger RNA expression profiles of twenty-seven lymph node metastasis positive or negative canine mammary carcinomas were established by microarray analysis. Differentially expressed genes were functionally characterized and associated with molecular pathways. The findings were also correlated with published data on human breast cancer. Results: Metastatic canine mammary carcinomas had 1,011 significantly differentially expressed genes when compared to non-metastatic carcinomas. Metastatic carcinomas had a significant up-regulation of genes associated with cell cycle regulation, matrix modulation, protein folding and proteasomal degradation whereas cell differentiation genes, growth factor pathway genes and regulators of actin organization were significantly down-regulated. Interestingly, 265 of the 1,011 differentially expressed canine genes are also related to human breast cancer and, vice versa, parts of a human prognostic gene signature were identified in the expression profiles of the metastatic canine tumors. Conclusions: Metastatic canine mammary carcinomas can be discriminated from non-metastatic carcinomas by their gene expression profiles. More than one third of the differentially expressed genes are also described of relevance for human breast cancer. Many of the differentially expressed genes are linked to functions and pathways which appear to be relevant for the induction and maintenance of metastatic progression and may represent new therapeutic targets. Furthermore, dogs are in some aspects suitable as a translational model for human breast tumors in order to identify prognostic molecular signatures and potential therapeutic targets.

Furthermore, dogs are in some aspects suitable as a translational model for human breast tumors in order to identify prognostic molecular signatures and potential therapeutic targets. Thirteen simple mammary carcinomas with invasive growth and lymph node metastases at the time of tumor resection and 14 simple carcinomas without lymph node metastases were included in the study. None of the patients had radiographically detectable pulmonary metastases at the time of tumor resection. Distant metastases as the cause of death were determined postoperatively by radiographic detection of metastases or necropsy. Selection criteria for carcinomas without lymph node metastases included an invasive growth, a negative lymph node status, a histological grade III and a minimal tumor diameter above the average of the lymph node positive tumors (> 2.42 cm). All animals with non-metastatic carcinomas had a survival rate of over 24 months except animal no. 22 (2627) which developed radiographic detectable lung metastases 8 months after surgery. Tumor and lymph node histologies were evaluated independently by two board-certified pathologists, following the criteria of the WHO classification of canine mammary tumors and the Nottingham grading system. All 27 tumors were simple carcinomas and characterized by an invasive, mostly solid growth pattern, marked cellular pleomorphism, anisokaryosis and 3 or more mitotic figures per high power field.
