Transcription profiling of human pleural mesotheliomas

ABSTRACT: The goal of our study was to molecularly dissect mesothelioma tumor pathways by mean of microarray technologies in order to identify new tumor biomarkers, that could be used as early diagnostic markers and possibly as specific molecular therapeutic targets. We performed Affymetrix U133A plus 2.0 microarray analysis comparing 9 human pleural mesotheliomas with 4 normal pleural specimen. Stringent statistical feature selection detected a set of differentially expressed genes that were further evaluated to identify potential biomarkers to be used in early diagnostics. Selected genes were confirmed by RT-PCR. As reported by other mesothelioma profiling studies, most of genes are involved in G2/M transition. Our list contains several genes previously described as prognostic classifier. Furthermore, we found novel genes never associated before to mesothelioma and could be involved in tumor progression. Notable, the identification of MMP-14, a member of matrix metalloproteinase family. This molecule has been described as a new disease marker and could be used as biomarker also for mesothelioma early diagnosis and prognosis and that can be viewed as new and effective therapeutic target to test.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of human malignant pleural mesothelioma tissue specimens

Project description:BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is difficult to distinguish from reactive mesothelial proliferations (RMPs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA-strands (~22 nucleotides) that post-transcriptionally regulate gene-expression. Studies have shown that miRNAs are potential diagnostic markers in other cancers; however, it is uncertain whether miRNAs are useful biomarkers for differentiating MPM from RMP. OBJECTIVE: To identify differentially expressed microRNAs which can aid in the diagnostics of MPM. METHODS: We screened with a quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR)-based platform the expression of 742 miRNAs in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) preoperative diagnostic biopsies, surgically resected MPM-specimens previously treated with chemotherapy, and corresponding non-neoplastic pleura (NNP) from 5 patients. RESULTS: By comparing the change in microRNA expression in patient-matched tissue samples, we identify 14 miRNAs which exhibit statistically significant deregulation between sample groups. CONCLUSION: Based on this initial screening of miRNA expression, we have identified 14 miRNAs which are potential diagnostic biomarkers and may aid in diffferentiating RMP from MPM. qPCR microRNA expression profiling. MicroRNA expression in surgical tissue samples and presurgery diagnostic biopsies of malignant pleural mesotheliomas was compared to corresponding patient-matched non-neoplastic pleura. Patient-matched diagnostic biopsies from still chemotherapy-naÃ¯ve patients were included to test for chemotherapy-induced changes in microRNA expression.

Inactivation of p21-Activated Kinase 2 (Pak2) Inhibits the Development of Nf2-Deficient Tumors by Restricting Downstream Hedgehog and Wnt Signaling

Project description:Since loss of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene results in p21-activated kinase (Pak) activation, PAK inhibitors hold promise for the treatment of NF2-deficient tumors. To test this possibility, we asked if loss of Pak2, a highly expressed group I PAK member, affects the development of malignant mesothelioma in Nf2;Cdkn2a-deficient (NC) mice and the growth properties of NC mesothelioma cells in culture. In vivo, deletion of Pak2 resulted in a markedly decreased incidence and delayed onset of both pleural and peritoneal malignant mesotheliomas in NC mice. In vitro, Pak2 deletion decreased malignant mesothelioma cell viability, migration, clonogenicity, and spheroid formation. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated downregulated expression of Hedgehog and Wnt pathway genes in NC;Pak2-/- mesothelioma cells versus NC;Pak2+/+ mesothelioma cells. Targeting of the Hedgehog signaling component Gli1 or its target gene Myc inhibited cell viability and spheroid formation in NC;P+/+ mesothelioma cells. Kinome profiling uncovered kinase changes indicative of EMT in NC;Pak2-/- mesothelioma cells, suggesting that Pak2-deficient malignant mesotheliomas can adapt by reprogramming their kinome in the absence of Pak activity. The identification of such compensatory pathways offers opportunities for rational combination therapies to circumvent resistance to anti-PAK drugs.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis (scRNA-seq) of healthy adult human parietal pleura

Project description:The pleural lining of the thorax regulates local immunity, inflammation and repair. A variety of conditions, both benign and malignant including pleural mesothelioma, can affect this tissue. A lack of knowledge concerning the mesothelial and stromal cells comprising the pleura has hampered the development of targeted therapies. Here we present a comprehensive single cell transcriptomic atlas of the human parietal pleura.

Mesothelioma tumor aCGH profiles

Project description:Malignant pleural mesotheliomas (MPMs) often show CDKN2A and NF2 inactivation but other highly recurrent mutations have not been described. To identify additional driver genes, we used an integrated genomic analysis of 53 MPM tumor samples to guide a focused sequencing effort that uncovered somatic inactivating mutations in BAP1 in 23% of MPM. The BAP1 nuclear deubiquitinase is known to target histones (together with ASXL1 as a Polycomb repressor subunit) and the HCF1 transcriptional co-factor, and we show that BAP1 knockdown in MPM cell lines affects E2F and Polycomb target genes. These findings implicate transcriptional deregulation in the pathogenesis of MPM. DNA from 53 malignant pleural mesothelioma tumors was collected and hybridized to aCGH arrays. Data were analyzed to create gain and loss profiles for each tumor. This submission includes gcNormalized-data.

aCGH data for mesothelioma cell lines

Project description:Malignant pleural mesotheliomas (MPMs) often show CDKN2A and NF2 inactivation but other highly recurrent mutations have not been described. To identify additional driver genes, we used an integrated genomic analysis of 53 MPM tumor samples to guide a focused sequencing effort that uncovered somatic inactivating mutations in BAP1 in 23% of MPM. The BAP1 nuclear deubiquitinase is known to target histones (together with ASXL1 as a Polycomb repressor subunit) and the HCF1 transcriptional co-factor, and we show that BAP1 knockdown in MPM cell lines affects E2F and Polycomb target genes. These findings implicate transcriptional deregulation in the pathogenesis of MPM. Genomic DNA was harvested from untreated malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cell lines and used to generate gain/loss profiles for each line using aCGH.

Transcriptome profiles of malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas of rats induced by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and amosite asbestos

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that often originates in the pleural and peritoneal mesothelium. Exposure to asbestos is a frequent cause. But studies in rodents showed that certain multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can induce malignant mesotheliomas. This study aimed to understand molecular pathways leading to the development of malignant mesotheliomas induced by MWCNTs and amosite asbestos in Wistar rats. Using Affymetrix microarrays, we carried out genome-wide transcriptome analysis on malignant peritoneal meosotheliomas induced by MWCNTs and amosite asbestos. The transcriptome of MWCNTs and amosite asbestos-induced mesotheliomas exhibited commonalities, but also differences pertaining to differentially-expressed genes (DEGs), regulated canonical pathways, and molecular functions.

Total RNA from 53 pleural mesothelioma tumors was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix gene expression arrays to compile a set of gene expression profiling data for this disease.
