Project description:Purpose: Increasing genomics-based evidence suggests that synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancer (SEOC) represents clonally related primary and metastatic tumors. A systematic analysis of the global protein landscape of SEOCs, heretofore lacking, could reveal functional and disease-specific consequences of known genetic alterations, the directionality of metastasis, and accurate histological markers to distinguish SEOCs from single-site tumors. Experimental Design: We performed a systematic proteogenomic analysis of 29 patients diagnosed with SEOC at three international gynecologic oncology treatment centers (Chicago, Vancouver, Tübingen). For direct comparison to single-site tumors, we included 9 patients with single-site endometrioid ovarian and 26 patients with single-site endometrial endometrioid cancer. For all 64 patients, we performed sequencing of a 275-gene cancer panel combined with compartment-resolved mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics of consecutive tissue sections to compare global (6,000+ proteins), tumor, and stromal proteomes. Results: DNA-based panel sequencing confirmed that most SEOCs are clonally related, suggesting primary and metastatic disease. These findings were further substantiated on the global proteome level, uncovering pronounced differences between SEOCs and single tumors and underscoring the importance of the stromal proteome in defining and identifying SEOCs. Our integrated proteogenomic approach confirmed that SEOCs more closely resemble endometrial endometrioid than endometrioid ovarian cancers. Conclusions: The integrated proteogenomic data show that SEOCs are distinguishable from endometrial endometrioid or endometrioid ovarian cancers. Based on their proteogenomic similarity to endometrial endometrioid cancers, we conclude that most synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancers represent primary endometrial endometrioid cancers that have metastasized to the ovary.
Project description:For normal endometrium, middle/low/high grade endometrioid endometrial cancer proteomic and lactylome sequencing were performed to find the key proteins and lactyl site affecting the progression of endometrioid endometrial cancer
Project description:ARID1A is one of the most frequently mutated genes in endometrial cancer, with approximately 40% of patients harboring an ARID1A mutation. However, relatively little is known about how ARID1A protein loss shapes endometrial cancer pathogenesis. Mounting evidence from other malignancies suggests that ARID1A protein can be regulated post-translationally, independent of genotype. However, most studies in endometrial cancer evaluate genotype alone, overlooking the potential for alternative mechanisms of ARID1A loss. To address this gap, ARID1A protein expression and genotype were examined in endometrioid tumors and associated transcriptional changes were characterized. Evaluation of ARID1A protein in 71 human endometrioid tumors demonstrates that protein loss can occur regardless of ARID1A genotype. Retention or deficiency of ARID1A protein was not significantly related to variant allele frequency or location of mutation in human tumors with mutant ARID1A. A human endometrial cancer cell model suggests that ARID1A protein loss can occur through proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, ARID1A protein expression was found to be a predictor of worse overall survival in a TCGA cohort of ARID1A wild-type endometrioid tumors. Spatial transcriptomics of 16 human endometrioid tumors revealed that both genotype and protein expression of ARID1A play a role in shaping unique transcriptional signatures in endometrial cancer and can be used to predict patient prognosis. Suggesting evaluation of ARID1A should not be done solely by sequencing techniques.
Project description:To determine the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and to examine specific miRNA expression in endometrial serous adenocarcinoma in comparison with normal endometrial tissue and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Twenty-one serous adenocarcinoma tissues, 20 endometrioid adenocarcinoma tissues, and 7 normal endometrial tissues were enrolled. miRNA expression profiles were examined using miRNA microarray.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation screening was performed using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip in 49 fresh-frozen tissue samples and 31 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples obtained from surgically resected materials of patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer.
