Fusion Genes in Prostate Cancer: A Comparison in Men of African and European Descent

Project description:Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, particularly affecting men living a western lifestyle and of African descent, suggesting risk factors that are genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic in nature. In the USA, African American (AA) men are disproportionately af-fected, on average suffering from a higher grade of the disease and at a younger age compared to men of European descent (EA). Fusion genes are chimeric products formed by the merging of two separate genes occurring as a result of chromosomal structural changes, for example, inversion or trans/cis-splicing of neighboring genes. They are known drivers of cancer and have been identified in 20% of cancers. Improvements in genomics technologies such as RNA-sequencing coupled with better algorithms for prediction of fusion genes has added to our knowledge of specific gene fu-sions in cancers. At present AA are underrepresented in genomic studies of prostate cancer. The primary goal of this study was to examine molecular differences in predicted fusion genes in a cohort of AA and EA men in the context of prostate cancer using computational approaches. RNA was purified from prostate tissue specimens obtained at surgery from subjects enrolled in the study. Fusion gene predictions were performed using four different fusion gene detection pro-grams. This identified novel putative gene fusions unique to AA and suggested that the fusion gene burden was higher in AA compared to EA men.

Dysregulation of estrogen signaling and HSD17B7 in the prostate stroma of African American men

Project description:African American men experience a higher incidence and severity of prostate cancer relative to European American men, and there is a range of risk factors that may contribute to this disparity. Prostate adenocarcinoma originates from the epithelium, which is significantly influenced by signaling from the surrounding fibromuscular stroma. To identify ancestry-associated differences in the stroma, gene expression profiling was compared between laser-capture microdissected prostate cancer stroma from patients of African descent and those of European descent. Estrogen receptor signaling was the top differential pathway between the groups, with the steroid hormone dehydrogenase HSD17B7 identified as the most differentially expressed gene. In a separate cohort of patients, protein expression of HSD17B7 was higher in African American patients relative to European American patients in a radical prostatectomy tissue microarray, validating the transcriptional findings. African American patients also exhibited significantly increased levels of HSD17B7 protein in the stroma surrounding benign areas compared to the stroma near tumors. These studies provide important evidence of ancestry-associated differences in stromal estrogen signaling.

African Ancestry Associated Gene Expression Profiles in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Underlie Altered Tumor Biology and Clinical Outcome in Women of African Descent

Project description:Women of sub-Saharan African descent have disproportionately higher incidence of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), and TNBC-specific mortality. Population comparative studies show racial differences in TNBC biology, including higher prevalence of basal-like and Quadruple-Negative subtypes in African Americans (AA). However, previous investigations relied on self-reported race (SRR) of primarily United States (US) populations. Due to heterogenous genetic admixture, and biological consequences of social determinants, the true association of African ancestry with TNBC biology is unclear. To address this, we conducted RNAseq on an international cohort of AAs, west and east Africans with TNBC. Using comprehensive genetic ancestry estimation in this African-enriched cohort, we found expression of 613 genes associated with African ancestry and 2000+ associated with regional African ancestry. A subset of African-associated genes also showed differences in normal breast tissue. Pathway enrichment and deconvolution of tumor cellular composition revealed tumor-associated immunological profiles are distinct in patients of African descent.

Tumor Immunobiological Differences in Prostate Cancer between African-American and European-American Men

Project description:The incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer are significantly higher in African-American men when compared to European-American men. We tested the hypothesis that differences in tumor biology contribute to this survival health disparity. Using microarray technology, we obtained gene expression profiles of primary prostate tumors resected from 33 African-American and 36 European-American patients. These tumors were matched on clinical parameters. We also evaluated 18 non-tumor prostate tissues from 7 African-American and 11 European-American patients. The resulting datasets were analyzed for expression differences on the gene and pathway level comparing African-American with European-American patients. Our analysis revealed a significant number of genes, e.g., 162 transcripts at a false-discovery rate less than 5%, to be differently expressed between African-American and European-American patients. Using a disease association analysis, we identified a common relationship of these transcripts with autoimmunity and inflammation. These findings were corroborated on the pathway level with numerous differently expressed genes clustering in immune response, stress response, cytokine signaling, and chemotaxis pathways. Furthermore, a two-gene tumor signature was identified that accurately differentiated between African-American and European-American patients. This finding was confirmed in a blinded analysis of a second sample set. In conclusion, the gene expression profiles of prostate tumors indicate prominent differences in tumor immunobiology between African-American and European-American men. The profiles portray the existence of a distinct tumor microenvironment in these two patient groups. Keywords: Microdissected tissue analysis

Expression data from prostate cancer epithelial cells from African American and European American men

Project description:African-American (AA) men experience increased risk of developing prostate cancers as well as increased mortality following treatment as compared to European-American (EA) men. The aim of our study was to identify biological factors with potential to predispose AA men to prostate tumor progression and metastasis. High-throughput microarrays were used to investigate differences in global gene expression comparing the two groups.

The prostate cancer androgen receptor cistrome in African American men differs from White men and associates with upregulation of lipid metabolism [EA]

Project description:We use androgen receptor chromatin immunoprecipitation (AR ChIP) on frozen prostate adenocarcinoma samples and normal prostate counterparts in men of European ancestry as well as men of African (AA) ancestry and derive a model whereby increased androgen signaling drives higher levels of lipogenesis in AA prostate tumors.
