Project description:The current paradigm in the development of high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) proposes that the majority of HGSCs arise from precursor serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) lesions of the fallopian tube. The goal of this study is to identify genomic regions that exhibit high-specificity differential hypermethylation for potential use as biomarkers for detecting STIC and HGSC at stages when curative intervention likely remains feasible.

Project description:The methylomic landscape of fallopian tube lesions associated with ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma

Project description:The main goal of this study is to explore the proteomic expression in prophylactic salpingooophorectomy specimens, obtained from highly selected cohort of patients at risk of developing a high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), because of a hereditary (BRCA 1 or 2 mutation) or a documented familial context. Pathological aspects of fallopian tube specimens, at the origin of most HGSOC in this selected feminine population, are extracted from slides annotated by the pathologist, then submitted to a proteomic analysis. We carried out an in-depth proteomics analysis of these epithelial lesions (p53 signature, serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma-STIC and serous tubal intraepithelial lesions-STIL) based on spatially resolved proteomic guided by IHC technique.

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) originates from the epithelium of the fallopian tube. However, most mouse models are based on the previous prevailing view that ovarian cancer develops from the transformation of the ovarian surface epithelium. Here, we report the extensive histological and molecular characterization of the mogp-TAg transgenic mouse, which expresses the SV40 large T-antigen (TAg) under the control of the mouse müllerian-specific Ovgp-1 promoter. Histologic analysis of the fallopian tubes of mogp-TAg mice identified a variety of neoplastic lesions analogous to those described as precursors to ovarian HGSC. We identified areas of normal appearing p53-positive epithelium that are similar to “p53 signatures” in the human fallopian tube. More advanced proliferative lesions with nuclear atypia and epithelial stratification were also identified that were morphologically and immunohistochemically reminiscent of human serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), a potential precursor of ovarian HGSC. Beside these noninvasive precursor lesions, we also identified invasive adenocarcinoma in the ovary of 56% of the mice. Microarray analysis revealed several genes differentially expressed between the fallopian tube of mogp-TAg and WT C57BL/6. One of these genes, Top2a, which encodes topoisomerase II-alpha, was shown by immunohistochemistry to be concurrently expressed with elevated p53 and specifically elevated in mouse STICs, but not in surrounding tissues. TOP2A protein was also found elevated in human STICs, low-grade, and high-grade serous carcinoma. The mouse model reported here displays a progression from normal tubal epithelium to invasive HGSC in the ovary, and therefore closely simulates the current emerging model of human ovarian HGSC pathogenesis. This mouse therefore has the potential to be a very useful new model for elucidating the mechanisms of serous ovarian tumorigenesis, as well as for developing novel approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of this disease.

Project description:Fallopian tube epithelium is the tissue-of-origin of most high grade serous papillary ovarian carcinoma. This tumor has been exensively investigated and sequenced but expression profiling data of normal fallopian tube epithelial cells is still rare. This project compares the miRNA profiles of high grade serous papillary ovarian tumors (FFPE and fresh frozen) to that of normal unmatched epithelial cells from resected fallopian tubes.

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) progresses to advanced stages without symptoms and the 5-year survival rate is a dismal 30%. Recent studies of ovaries and oviducts in patients with BRCA mutations revealed that premalignant HGSC is found almost exclusively in the fallopian tube. To validate this notion, we cloned and transformed the fallopian tube stem cells (FTSC). We demonstrated that the tumors derived from the transformed fallopian tube stem cells (FTSCt) share the similar histological and molecular feature of high-grade serous cancer. In addition, a whole-genome transcriptome analysis comparing between FTSC, immortalized fallopian tube stem cells (FTSCi), and FTSCt showing a clear molecular progression, which is mimicked by the gene expression comparison between laser captured normal oviducts and HGSOC ( cancer and paired normal samples from 10 patients).

Project description:We analysed the extracellular matrix (ECM) landscape of fresh, healthy tissues from human fallopian tube (FT), fimbria (FB, the tissue of origin of serous tubal intraepithelial lesions) and ovarian tissue (OV). The aim was to identify differentially expressed matrix proteins between FB and FT or OV which may promote the neoplastic transformation of serous tubal intraepithelial lesions (STICs) into high-grade serous ovarian cancer, HGSOC, and metastasis from the FB to the OV.

Project description:Our study presents the first genetic models of de novo high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) that originate in fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells and recapitulate the key genetic alterations and precursor lesions characteristic of human invasive ovarian cancer. Genomic copy number analysis, using array CGH, was performed on murine tumors in order to compare the overlap of copy number alterations between HGSC models and TCGA data. Array CGH was performed on genomic DNA isolated from murine HGSC tumors. Genomic DNA from three normal mouse fallopian tubes was pooled and used as the reference.

Project description:Primary serous ovarian carcinoma (OVCA) and serous Fallopian tube carcinoma (FTC), both belonging to the BRCA-linked tumour spectrum, share many properties and are treated similarly. However, a detailed molecular comparison has been lacking. We hypothesized that comparative genomic studies of serous OVCAs and FTCs should point to gene regions critically involved in their tumorigenesis. Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analysis indicated that serous OVCAs and serous FTCs displayed common but also more distinctive patterns of recurrent changes. Targeted gene identification using a dedicated multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) probe set directly identified EIF2C2 on 8q as a potentially important driver gene. Other previously unappreciated gained/amplified genes included PSMB4 on 1q, MTSS1 on 8q, TEAD4 and TSPAN9 on 12p, and BCAS4 on 20q. SPINT2 and ACTN4 on 19q were predominantly found in FTCs. Gains/amplifications of CCNE1 and MYC, often in conjunction with changes in genes of the AKT pathway, EVI1 and PTK2, seemed to be involved at earlier stages, whereas changes of ERBB2 were associated with advanced stages. The only BRCA1-mutated FTC shared common denominators with the sporadic tumours. In conclusion, the data suggest that serous OVCAs and FTCs, although related, exhibit differences in genomic profiles. In addition to known pathways, new genes/pathways are likely to be involved, with changes in an miRNA-associated gene, EIF2C2, as one important new feature. Dedicated MLPA sets constitute potentially important tools for differential diagnosis and may provide footholds for tailored therapy.
