Project description:Gastric cancer is the most common cancer in Asia and most developing countries. To identify the molecular underpinnings of gastric cancer in the Asian population, we applied an RNA-sequencing approach to gastric tumor and noncancerous specimens to quantitatively characterize the entire transcriptome of gastric cancer (including mRNAs and microRNAs). A multi-layer analysis was then developed to identify multiple types of transcriptional aberrations associated with different stages of gastric cancer, including differentially expressed mRNAs, recurrent somatic mutations and key differentially expressed microRNAs. Through this approach, we identified the central metabolic regulator AMPK-α as a potential functional target in Asian gastric cancer. Further, we experimentally demonstrated the translational relevance of this gene as a potential therapeutic target for early-stage gastric cancer in Asian patients. Together, our findings not only provide a valuable information resource for identifying and elucidating the molecular mechanisms of Asian gastric cancer, but also represent a general integrative framework to develop more effective therapeutic targets.

A multi-layer analysis was then developed to identify multiple types of transcriptional aberrations associated with different stages of gastric cancer, including differentially expressed mRNAs, recurrent somatic mutations and key differentially expressed microRNAs. Through this approach, we identified the central metabolic regulator AMPK-M-NM-1 as a potential functional target in Asian gastric cancer. Further, we experimentally demonstrated the translational relevance of this gene as a potential therapeutic target for early-stage gastric cancer in Asian patients. Together, our findings not only provide a valuable information resource for identifying and elucidating the molecular mechanisms of Asian gastric cancer, but also represent a general integrative framework to develop more effective therapeutic targets. Using Life Technologies SOLiDM-bM-^DM-" sequencing platform, we performed transcriptome-wide profiling of gastric cancer samples from 30 anonymous, unrelated Asians of both sexes. Included were six noncancerous gastric tissue samples and 24 gastric tumor samples that represented stages I through IV of tumor development. From the WT-seq protocol we generated a WT-seq dataset of 2.1 billion 50-nt short reads from the 30 samples; Applying the second small RNA-seq protocol to 19 gastric tumor samples (5 of the original 24 yielded insufficient sample amounts) and 6 noncancerous gastric tissue samples resulted in a small RNA-seq dataset.

Project description:Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide, and peritoneal metastasis is a hallmark of incurable advanced gastric cancer. The identification of molecular vulnerability for such conditions is imperative to improve the prognosis of gastric cancer. Here, we comprehensively analysed cancer cells purified from malignant ascitic fluid samples and their corresponding cell lines from 98 patients, through whole-genome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, methylation analyses, and genome-wide enhancer analyses.

Project description:Background Worldwide, gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignancy and the most common cancer in East Asia. Development of targeted therapies for this disease has focused on a few known oncogenes but has had limited effects. Objective To determine oncogenic mechanisms and novel therapeutic targets specific for gastric cancer by identifying commonly dys-regulated genes from the tumors of both Asian-Pacific and Caucasian patients. Design We generated transcriptomic profiles of 22 Caucasian gastric cancer tumors and their matched non-cancerous samples, and performed an integrative analysis across different gastric cancer gene expression datasets. We examined the inhibition of commonly overexpressed oncogenes and their constituent signaling pathways by RNAi and/or pharmacologic inhibition. Results We found that HNF4α upregulation was a key signaling event in gastric tumors from both Caucasian and Asian patients, and HNF4α antagonism was antineoplastic. Perturbation experiments in GC tumor cell lines and xenograft models further demonstrated that HNF4α is downregulated by AMPKα signaling and the AMPK agonist metformin; blockade of HNF4α activity resulted in cyclin downregulation, cell cycle arrest, and tumor growth inhibition. HNF4α also regulated WNT signaling through its target gene WNT5A, a potential prognostic marker of diffuse type gastric tumors. Conclusions Our results indicate that HNF4α is a targetable oncoprotein in gastric cancer, is regulated by AMPK signaling through AMPKα, and resides upstream of WNT signaling. HNF4α may regulate “metabolic switch” characteristic of a general malignant phenotype and its target WNT5A has potential prognostic values. The AMPKα-HNF4α-WNT5A signaling cascade represents a potentially targetable pathway for drug development. Integrative analysis of Caucasian and Asian-Pacific gastric tumor expression datasets (including newly generated transcriptomic profiling of 22 tumors in this study) revealed a relatively small common sets of highly overexpressed genes.
