Project description:We used microarray CGH analysis with a tiling path BAC DNA microarray to profile DNA copy number alterations in 164 serous ovarian adenocarcinomas. Survival probabilities modelled by proportional hazards were used to stratify cases into good, intermediate or poor survival groups. Comparison of aCGH data from these groups was used to identify genomic alterations associated with patient survival. A total of 984 cases of serous ovarian adenocarcinoma from three different studies were combined and Cox proportional hazards used to model survival using patient age, tumour stage and residual disease status as covariates. Survival probabilities (Pr) were extracted for all cases and used to stratify 384 cases for which microarray CGH data was available. From these, we identified 70 cases with poor survival (Pr>0.784) and 70 cases with good survival (Pr<0.35). aCGH data from these cases was provided to an iterative Support Vector Machine (SVM) routine to detect copy number changes associated with survival. Candidate regions were then validated by survival analysis in all 384 cases for which aCGH data was available. This series contains aCGH data from 164 tumours from the MALOVA collection.

Project description:Metaphase comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) studies indicate that chromosomes 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15 and 18 are frequently deleted in primary ovarian cancers (OC). Therefore, we used microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) to establish the functional effects of transferring normal copies of these chromosomes into two epithelial OC cell lines. The in vitro neoplastic phenotype (measured as anchorage dependent and independent growth and invasion) was compared between recipient OC cell lines and multiple MMCT hybrids. Chromosomes 6 and 18 showed strong evidence of functional, neoplastic suppression for multiple hybrids in both cell lines. We also found evidence in one cancer cell line suggesting that chromosomes 4, 13 and 14 may also cause functional suppression. Array CGH and microsatellite analyses were used to characterise the extent of genomic transfer in chromosome 6 and 18 hybrids. A 35Mb deletion on chromosome 6 in two hybrids from one cell line mapped the candidate region proximal to 6q15 and distal to 6q22.2; and an approximate 10Mb candidate region spanning the centromere on chromosome 18 was identified in another two hybrids from the other cell line. These data confirm reported functional effects of chromosome 6 in OC cell lines; but to our knowledge, this is the first time that functional suppression for chromosome18 has been reported. This suggests that these chromosomes may harbour genes that behave as tumour suppressors. The future identification of these genes may have a significant impact on the understanding and treatment of the disease and the identification of novel therapeutic targets. Four clones from chr 6 and chr 18 hybrids that were transferred by MMCT successfully were mapped by CGH microarray to identified transferred regions that induced neoplastic suppression in epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines (TOV21G and TOV112D).

Project description:Vitamin D is the strongest known natural anti-proliferative. A large number of studies in a wide spectrum of cancers, including epidemiological, in vitro and animal models, demonstrate that the active form of Vitamin D has anti-cancer benefits, affecting both progression and metastasis. Alike the role in calcium Vitamin D regulation, its anti-proliferative effect is thought to function through the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), although convincing evidence is lacking. Notwithstanding, separation of the calcemic and the anti-proliferative activity of Vitamin D analogues has been a major obstacle in developing new drugs for the treatment of cancer. The work presented attempts to unveil the molecular mechanism behind the anti-proliferative action of Vitamin D using genomic tools. For that purpose four independently developed Vitamin D sensitive/resistant MCF7 cell line pairs were collected. These unique biological replicates enabled us, both to increase the power of our study and to omit the use of Vitamin D. We deem this omission crucial since in the presence of Vitamin D only downstream genes involved in proliferation and cell cycle would be identified rather than causal resistance genes. The use of a variety of genomic techniques including expression, NMD and oligo CGH arrays reveal in the resistant cell lines the 11q13-14 as a region of DNA copy number loss and an altered expression of EGFR signaling pathway genes. Surprisingly, no genes known from calcium Vitamin D regulation were identified, nor did the VDR silencing by RNAi induce resistance to the sensitive cell lines. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization, cell type comparision Several MCF7 breast tumor cell lines independently derived from the human breast cancer cell line, both resistant and sensitive to Vitamin D, were used. The pairs of cell lines (parental-resistant) were developed in different laboratories and using different methodologies; while some cell lines acquired resistance by long exposure to the physiological concentration of Vitamin D (100nM), others were induced to resistant by being exposed to increasing amounts of Vitamin D. A total of 4 microarray expression experiments were carried out. In all microarray experiments DNA from the Vitamin D resistant cell line was hybrizided agains DNA from the respsective sensitive/parental cell line.

Project description:Background: The molecular pathogenesis of small intestinal adenocarcinomas (SBA) is not well understood. Defining its molecular pathogenesis may lead us to better clinical interventions. Aim: to identify the molecular changes characteristic of SBA. Methods: Forty-eight SBA (thirty-three non coeliac disease (CD)-related and 15 CD-related) were characterized for chromosomal aberrations, by high resolution array comparative hybridization (aCGH), microsatellite status (MSI) and APC promoter methylation and mutation status. Furthermore, molecular alterations found in CD-related SBA were compared to non-CD related SBA. Results: Chromosomal changes were observed in 77% of the SBA. The most frequently (>10%) DNA copy number changes found were gains on 5p15.33-5p12, 7p22.3-7q11.21, 7q21.2-7q21.3, 7q22.1-7q34, 7q36.1, 7q36.3, 8q11.21-8q24.3, 9q34.11-9q34.3, 13q11-13q34, 16p13.3, 16p11.2, 19q13.2 and 20p13-20q13.33 and losses of 4p13-4q35.2, 5q15-5q21.1 and 21p11.2-21q22.11. Seven highly amplified regions on 6p21.1, 7q21.1, 8p23.1, 11p13, 16p11.2, 17q12-q21.1 and 19q13.2 were also identified. CD-related and non CD-related SBA displayed similar chromosomal aberrations. Promoter hypermethylation of the APC gene was found in 48% non CD-related and 73% CD-related SBA. No nonsense mutations were found. Last, 10% of the non CD-related SBA were MSI, whereas 43% of the CD-related SBA were MSI. Conclusions: Our study characterized specific chromosomal aberrations and amplifications involved in SBA pathogenesis. At the chromosomal level, CD-related and non CD-related SBA do not differ. The involvement of the MMR system in the pathogenesis of the CD-related SBA was larger than what has been observed in no CD-related SBA. No nonsense mutations were found in SBA, but frequent promoter methylation in CD-related SBA. Forty-eight SBA (thirty-three non coeliac disease (CD)-related and 15 CD-related) were characterized for chromosomal aberrations against a Human pool, by high resolution array comparative hybridization (aCGH),

Project description:Position within chromosome territories, and localisation at transcription factories, are two facets of nuclear organisation that have been associated with active gene expression. However, there is still debate about whether this organisation is a cause or consequence of transcription. We induced looping out from chromosome territories (CTs), by the activation of Hox loci during differentiation, to investigate consequences on neighbouring loci. This microarray study aims at analyzing the expression of genes close to Hoxb and Hoxd clusters in parallel with their nuclear position. OS25 mouse ES cells were differentiated using retinoic acid in two independent experiments, and control undifferentiated cells were also cultured. For each experiment, labelled cDNAs were prepared from undifferentiated and differentiated cells and hybridized together on VUMC MACF Mouse 38K oligo v64 microarrays. Labelling dyes (Cy3 / Cy5) were swapped for cDNAs from the second differentiation experiment.

Project description:Purpose: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare cancer and consequently the number of clinical trials has been very limited due to the small numbers of patients. Chemotherapy regimens are currently rather arbitrarily chosen between either a colorectal (CRC) or a gastric cancer (GC) regimen. Chromosomal copy number aberrations are a hallmark of solid tumours and can be measured by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether genome-wide copy number aberrations of SBA are more similar to CRC or GC in order to support treatment of SBA according to either regimen. Experimental Design: A total of 85 GCs, CRCs and SBAs were selected from existing in house aCGH datasets based on array quality and clinical parameters. Differences and similarities in gains and losses of the three tumor types were analyzed using supervised and unsupervised analysis. Results: Hierarchical clustering revealed substantial overlap of chromosomal copy number profiles between SBA and CRC and less overlap between SBA and GC. Chromosome 13q13.2-q31.3 is primarily gained in SBA and CRC and the strongest feature discriminating SBA from GC. Further strong discriminating copy number characteristics are aberrations at chromosomes 1p36.3-p34.3, 4p15.3-q35.2, 9p24.3-p11.1 and 17p13.3-p13.2. Conclusions: SBA is more similar to CRC than to GC, based on genome-wide copy number aberrations. These data provide molecular support for treatment of SBA according to a CRC regimen. 29 gastric adenocarcinomas on 5K or 6K BAC arrays of which 2 samples are also done on 30K oligonucleotide arrays as control samples, 29 colorectal adenocarcinomas on 5K or 6K BAC arrays of which 2 samples are also done on 30K oligonucleotide arrays as control, 27 small bowel adenocarcinomas done on 30K oligonucleotide arrays of which 2 samples are also done on 5K BAC arrays as control.

Project description:Primary diffuse large B cell lymphomas of different immune-privileged sites (IP-DLBCL) share many clinical and biological features, such as a relatively poor prognosis, preferential dissemination to other immune-privileged sites and deletion of the HLA region, which suggests that IP-DLBCL represents a separate entity. To further investigate the nature of IP-DLBCL, we investigated site-specific genomic aberrations in 16 testicular, 9 central nervous system (CNS) and 15 nodal DLBCL using array-CGH. We also determined minimal common regions of gain and loss. Using robust algorithms, the array-CGH data were combined with gene expression data to explore pathways deregulated by chromosomal aberrations. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridisation, gene expression, tumor type comparison Whole tissue sections of 16 testicular, 9 central nervous system (CNS) and 15 nodal DLBCL were used for isolation of genomic DNA and total RNA. Genomic aberrations were determined using an in house printed CGH array containing ~3700 large genomic insert clones. Gene expression was analyzed on Affymetrix HU133 plus 2.0 oligo arrays. Gene expression data and arrayCGH data were combined using the R program ACE-it.

Project description:Biological material: One solid mouse tumor "Colon 26A" was routinely maintained by successive transplantation. A subset of mice with this tumor was treated at the maximum tolerable dosage of Gemcitabine and successively transplanted 5 times and similarly treated. The last passage was completly resistant and designated, "Colon 26G". Oligo array CGH microarray: DNA from tumor and normal liver samples were isolated using the Wizard Genomic DNA purification kit according to the manufactures protocol (Promega Benelux BV, Leiden, NL). Labeling and hybridization procedures for the oligo array CGH were performed as previously described (Carvalho et al, 2004, J. Clin. Pathol., 57:644-649) with the following modifications: a mouse oligo library version 2.0 (Compugen/Sigma-Aldrich Chemie B.V., Zwijndrecht, NL) containing 21,997 oligonucleotides (65bp) representing 21,587 exon regions on all chromosomes were spotted on the arrays. Prehybridisation was omitted and Cot-1 concentrations during the hybridization were reduced to 100 µg. Hybridizations were done using a Hybstation12 (Perkin-Elmer, Zaventem, BE). CGH arrays were scanned using a laser scanner (Agilent Technologies, Amstelveen, NL) and analyzed using Bluefuse Software v.2.0 (Bluegnome Ltd, Cambridge, UK). Images show fused values; values with confidence higher then 0.35 with the overall Cy3 and Cy5 channels normalized to a log2ratio of 0. Tumor 26G was hybridized twice and Bluefuse confidence based average values are given. No further normalizations were performed. For interpretation and visualization purposes,smoothing was performed by version 2 of aCGH smooth, with λ set to 2.0.

Project description:The effect of different diets (i.e. fish oil based vs vegetable oil based) on liver transcription profiles over the life history stages (freshwater and marine phases) of cultured Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were explored. Two groups of fish were raised from first feeding on different lipid containing diets; a) the standard 100% fish oil based diet, the other enriched with a blend of vegetable oils (75%) + fish oil (25%). Liver samples were taken from fish at four time points: two freshwater phase (as parr 36 weeks post hatch (wph); as pre-smolts, 52 wph) and two marine phase ( as post-smolts 55 wph; and as adult fish , 86 wph). A total of 96 cDNA microarray hybridisations - TRAITS / SGP Atlantic salmon 17k feature cDNA microarray - were performed ( 2 diets x 4 time points x 6 biological replicates x 2 -dye swap) using a comon pooled reference contol design.
