Project description:We provide RNA sequencing data for a Ccnd2/p53/Mb1Cre mouse model (Mb1Cre is active from pre-B cells onwards). This mouse model features Ccnd2 overexpression and p53 loss in B-cells, and develops tumors that resembles Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). These Ccnd2/p53/Mb1Cre mice develop both non-MCL and MCL-like lymphomas and RNA samples from both groups were sequenced. Fresh lymphoma cells (5x10exp6) were frozen in 700 µl of QIAZOL and stored in -80°C. RNA was prepared using a miRNeasy mini kit (Qiagen).
Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell neoplasm characterized by the t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation leading to cyclin D1 overexpression. Cyclin D1 is a major cell cycle regulator and also has a role in transcription, but the effect of the latter in tumorigenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the transcriptional role of cyclin D1 in MCL and its impact on the pathogenesis of this neoplasm. Integrating genome-wide expression analysis of cyclin D1-silenced and overexpressing cells with cyclin D1 chromatin binding profiles, we identified a cyclin D1-activated transcriptional program in MCL cells.
Project description:In this study we could show that the treatment of primary murine prostate cancer(PCa) cells derived from the well-established TRAMP (transgenic adenocarcinoma ofmouse prostate) model with the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDI) valproic acid (VPA) has an anti-proliferative, anti-migrative and anti-invasive effect on the cells.To our knowledge this is the first study that identified that treatment of PCa cells with VPA leads to the re-expression of cyclin D2, which is known to be frequently inactive in patients with PCa. Additionally, we could demonstrate that VPA specifically induces re-expression of cyclin D2 as a family member of the highly conserved Dtype cyclins in human colorectal and mammary gland adenocarcinoma cell lines, whereas VPA treatment has no effect in NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. The observed cyclin D2 re-expression in cancer cells is activated by an increase of histone acetylation in the promoter region of the cyclin D2 gene and might be the underlying molecular mechanism of the inhibition of proliferation of cancer cells after VPA treatment. Taken together, our results confirm VPA as an anticancer therapeutic option in tumors with epigenetically repressed cyclin D2 expression.

For the comparison of vpa treatment in murine protate cancer cells we hybridized 3 replicates per condition

Integrating genome-wide expression analysis of cyclin D1-silenced and overexpressing cells with cyclin D1 chromatin binding profiles, we identified a cyclin D1-activated transcriptional program in MCL cells. We used microarrays to analyze the genome-wide expression modulation in cyclin D1 overexpression models established in the cyclin D1-negative lymphoblastoid cell line JVM13.
Project description:Cyclin D1-negative mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) are not well characterized, in part due to the difficulties in their recognition. SOX11 has been recently identified as a reliable biomarker of MCL, also expressed in the cyclin D1-negative variant. We investigated 40 lymphomas with MCL morphology and immunophenotype, negative for cyclin D1 expression/t(11;14)(q13;q32) but SOX11-positive. These tumors presented clinically with generalized lymphadenopathy, advanced stage, and had a poor outcome (5-year overall survival 48%). Chromosomal rearrangements of the CCND2 locus were detected in 55% of the cases, with an IG gene as partner in 18/22 cases, in particular with light chains (10 IGK@, 5 IGL@). No mutations in the phosphorylation motifs of CCND1, CCND2 and CCND3 were detected. The global genomic profile and the high complexity of the 32 cyclin D1-negative SOX11-positive MCL analyzed by copy number arrays were similar to the conventional cyclin D1/SOX11-positive MCL. 17p deletions and high Ki67 expression conferred a significantly worse outcome to the patients. This comprehensive characterization of a large series of cyclin D1-negative MCL indicates that these tumors are clinically and biologically similar to the conventional cyclin D1-positive MCL and provides a basis for the proper identification and clinical management of these patients.

This Series contains copy number analysis of 500K Affymetrix SNP arrays for five MCL (5 hybridizations of wih Nsp 250K array and 5 hybridizations with Sty 250K arrays, that combined are the 500K array).
