Project description:In metastatic cancer, the degree of heterogeneity of the tumor-immune microenvironment and its molecular underpinnings remain largely unstudied. To characterize the tumor-immune interface at baseline and during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), we performed immunogenomics analysis of treatment-naive and paired pre/post-chemotherapy treated samples. In treatment-naive HGSOC, we find that immune cell-excluded and inflammatory microenvironments co-exist within the same individuals and within the same tumor sites, indicating ubiquitous variability in immune cell infiltration. Analysis of tumor microenvironment cell composition, DNA copy number, mutations and gene expression showed that immune cell exclusion was associated with amplification of Myc target genes and increased expression of canonical Wnt signaling in treatment-naive HGSOC. Following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, increased natural killer cell infiltration and oligoclonal expansion of T cells were detected. We demonstrate that the tumor-immune microenvironment of advanced HGSOC is intrinsically heterogeneous and that chemotherapy induces local immune activation, suggesting that chemotherapy can potentiate the immunogenicity of immune-excluded HGSOC tumors. The goal of this particular experiment was quantify RNA expression using microarray technology, and then evaluate differences in the trasncirptomic landscape of treatment naïve metastatic high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Project description:Detection of immunogenic proteins remains an important task for life sciences as it nourishes the understanding of pathogenicity, illuminates new potential vaccine candidates and broadens the spectrum of biomarkers applicable in diagnostic tools. Traditionally, immunoscreenings of expression libraries via polyclonal sera on nitrocellulose membranes or screenings of whole proteome lysates in 2-D gel electrophoresis are performed. However, these methods feature some rather inconvenient disadvantages. Screening of expression libraries to expose novel antigens from bacteria often lead to an abundance of false positive signals owing to the high cross reactivity of polyclonal antibodies towards the proteins of the expression host. A method is presented that overcomes many disadvantages of the old procedures. We incorporated a fusion tag prior to our genes of interest and attached the expressed fusion proteins covalently on microarrays. This enhances the specific binding of the proteins compared to nitrocellulose. Thus, it helps to reduce the number of false positives significantly. It enables us to screen for immunogenic proteins in a shorter time, with more samples and statistical reliability. We validated our method by employing several known genes from Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168. Four of proteins that have previously been described as immunogenic have successfully been assessed immunogenic abilities with our method. One protein with no known immunogenic behaviour before suggested potential immunogenicity. The method presented offers a new approach for screening of bacterial expression libraries to illuminate novel proteins with immunogenic features. It could provide a powerful and attractive alternative to existing methods and help to detect and identify bacterial virulence factors, vaccine candidates and potential biomarkers. The overall study was done with five technical replicates. Ten proteins derived from Campylobacter jejuni were tested regarding their immunogenic potential. The ten proteins derived from Campylobacter jejuni were fusion proteins, i.e., N-terminal HaloTag fused to: Gene <--> Protein cjaA <--> putative amino-acid transporter periplasmic solute-binding protein hisJ <--> histidine-binding protein precursor pal <--> peptidoglycan associated lipoprotein flaC <--> flagellin flaA <--> flagellin peb1a <--> bifunctional adhesin/ABC transporter aspartate/glutamate-binding protein pyrC <--> dihydroorotase (EC:3.5.2.3) pseB <--> UDP-GlcNAc-specific C4,6 dehydratase/C5 epimerase gapA <--> glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC:1.2.1.12) argC <--> N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl-phosphate reductase (EC:1.2.1.38)

Project description:Early chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic non-castration resistant prostate cancer (PCa) may improve overall patient survival. We studied the safety, tolerability and early efficacy of up-front docetaxel chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus ADT alone for patients with newly-diagnosed advanced/metastatic PCa. As proof of concept, we undertook in vivo gene expression profiling by next generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Tumour biposies from 6 patients were taken before and after treatment with combined ADT and docetaxcel for 6 weeks

Project description:We used customized peptide arrays of 163 TXNDC16 peptides to identify immunogenic TXNDC16 epitopes and asked whether discrimination of meningioma and control sera is possible with a specific subset selection of all immunogenic epitopes.
