Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying circRNA role in prostate carcinogenesis and progression of PCa, we first used circular RNA microarrays to acquire circRNA profiles in PCa tissues. Five pairs of samples were taken from the two different areas, i.e., high-grade PCa (Gleason>8) and low-grade PCa (Gleason< 6), within the same PCa sample

Project description:An mRNA Expression Signature of Gleason Grade Predicts Lethal Prostate Cancer

Project description:A major challenge in the clinical management of prostate cancer is the inability to definitively diagnose indolent versus aggressive cases. Contributing to this challenge is a lack of basic science understanding of the molecular basis behind aggressiveness subtypes in prostate cancer. DNA methylation is the epigenetic addition of a methyl group to the DNA base cytosine and has been found to regulate cell proliferation and environmental adaptation. We hypothesized that DNA methylation changes are a mechanism by which an aggressive cancer attains phenotypes that distinguish it from indolent cases via disruption of regulatory networks. This hypothesis was tested by comparing DNA methylation between benign prostate and both low grade (Gleason score 6) and high grade (Gleason score 8 to 10) groups. Methylome-wide next generation sequencing was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples from radical prostatectomy cases using MBD-isolated genome sequencing (MiGS). This technique uses a DNA methylation binding protein (MBD) to purify fragments from a genomic library with a high level of CpG DNA methylation. These fragments were then sequenced via next generation sequencing, the reads were aligned to a reference genome, and then the reads were counted within non-overlapping 50bp windows genome wide. Statistical analysis was then performed on these windowed counts to produce differentially methylated regions (DMRs). MBD-isolated Genome Sequencing (MiGS) for groups of benign prostate (from cystoprostatectomy), low grade prostate cancer (from radical prostatectomy with Gleason Score 6), and high grade prostate cancer (from radical prostatectomy with Gleason Scores 8 to 10) in both European Americans and African Americans

Project description:Gleason grading is an important prognostic indicator for prostate adenocarcinoma and is crucial for patient treatment decisions. However, intermediate-risk patients diagnosed in Gleason Grade Groups (GG) 2 and GG3 can harbour either aggressive or non-aggressive disease, resulting in under- or over-treatment of a significant number of patients. Here, we performed proteomic, differential expression, machine learning, and survival analyses for 1,348 matched tumour and benign samples from 278 patients. Three proteins (F5, TMEM126B and EARS2) were identified as candidate biomarkers in patients with biochemical recurrence. Multivariate Cox regression yielded 18 proteins, from which a risk score was constructed to dichotomise prostate cancer patients into low- and high-risk groups. This 18-protein signature is prognostic for the risk of biochemical recurrence and completely independent of the intermediate GG. Our results suggest that markers generated by computational proteomic profiling have the potential for clinical applications including integration into prostate cancer management.

Project description:Twenty-nine radical prostatectomy samples were laser capture microdissected (LCM) to obtain the most common Gleason patterns (patterns 3, 4, and 5) and matched benign adjacent luminal prostate epithelial cells. We performed cDNA microarrays on matched cancer and adjacent normal samples and identified an 86-gene model capable of distinguishing low Gleason grade (pattern 3) from high Gleason grade (pattern 4 and 5) cancers, which contributes a set of potential targets for modulating the development and progression of the lethal prostate cancer phenotype.

Project description:In order to identify methylation changes in prostate cancer, we performed a genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation using Agilent human CpG island arrays. We then chose specific genes to validate methylation both in the same cases as were hybridized to the array (using quantitative EpiTYPER analysis) and in an independent series of prostate cancer samples (using MethyLight quantitative methylation specific PCR). We specifically chose low grade (Gleason score 6 cases) and high grade (Gleason score 8 cases) to discover methylated genes/loci that may be involved in the progression to a higher grade of prostate cancer.

Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.

We collected 20 specimens consisting of 10 Gleason 6 and 10 Gleason 8 prostate cancers, and compared these to a reference lymphocyte pool (6 age matched, healthy men) to determine cancer associated methylation changes as well as disease progression associated methylation changes. We performed the differential methylation hybridization procedure as described by Yan et al. (Methods, 2002) on each case to enrich for methylated DNA. Each specimen in the reference pool underwent the same enrichment with amplicons being pooled at the end of the procedure. Each prostate cancer case was subsequently co-hybridized to the microarray with the reference pool.

Project description:Obese men are at higher risk of developing advanced prostate cancer and have higher rates of cancer-specific mortality. However, the biological mechanisms explaining these associations are unknown. Using gene expression data, we aimed to identify molecular alterations in prostate cancer tissue associated with obesity. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis identified fifteen gene sets up-regulated in the tumor tissue of obese prostate cancer patients (N=84) compared to healthy weight patients (N=192), five of which were related to chromatin remodeling. These gene sets were not identified in an analysis of adjacent normal tissue. Patients with tumors with high expression of chromatin remodeling genes had worse clinical characteristics (Gleason grade >7, 41% versus 17%, p-trend = 3.21 x 10-4) and poorer prostate cancer-specific survival independent of Gleason grade (lethal outcome, OR = 5.01, 95% CI = 2.31 to 11.38). Mediation analysis further supported a role for chromatin remodeling in the obesity-lethal prostate cancer relationship.
