Project description:Low-grade ovarian serous carcinomas are believed to arise via an adenoma-serous borderline tumor-serous carcinoma sequence. In this study, we found that advanced-stage, low-grade ovarian serous carcinomas both with and without adjacent serous borderline tumor shared similar regions of loss of heterozygosity. We then analyzed 91 ovarian tumor samples for mutations in TP53, BRAF, and KRAS. TP53 mutations were not detected in any serous borderline tumors (n = 30) or low-grade serous carcinomas (n = 43) but were found in 73% of high-grade serous carcinomas (n = 18). BRAF (n = 9) or KRAS (n = 5) mutation was detected in 47% of serous borderline tumors, but among the low-grade serous carcinomas (39 stage III, 2 stage II, and 2 stage I), only one (2%) had a BRAF mutation and eight (19%) had a KRAS mutation. The low frequency of BRAF mutations in advanced-stage, low-grade serous carcinomas, which contrasts with previous findings, suggests that aggressive, low-grade serous carcinomas are more likely derived from serous borderline tumors without BRAF mutation. In addition, advanced-stage, low-grade carcinoma patients with BRAF or KRAS mutation have a better apparent clinical outcome. However, further investigation is needed.

Project description:To demonstrate the use of a whole-genome oligonucleotide array to perform expression profiling on a series of microdissected late-stage, high-grade papillary serous ovarian adenocarcinomas to establish a prognostic gene signature correlating with survival and to identify novel survival factors in ovarian cancer. Advanced stage papillary serous tumors of the ovary are responsible for the majority of ovarian cancer deaths, yet the molecular determinants modulating patient survival are poorly characterized. We identify and validate a prognostic gene expression signature correlating with survival in a series of microdissected serous ovarian tumors. Experiment Overall Design: We identified 53 advanced stage, high-grade primary tumor specimens and 10 normal ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) brushings.

Project description:The Japanese Serous Ovarian Cancer Study Group Advanced-stage ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies. To improve prognosis of patients with ovarian cancers, a predictive biomarkers leading to personalized treatments are required. In this large-scale cross-platform study of six microarray datasets consisting of 1054 ovarian cancer patients, we developed a novel risk classification system based on a 126-gene expression signature for predicting overall survival by applying elastic net7 and 10-fold cross validation to a Japanese dataset A (n = 260). We further validated its predictive ability with the five other datasets using multivariate analysis. Also, through gene ontology and pathway analyses of 1109 high-risk ovarian cancer specific transcripts, we identified a significant reduction of expression of immune-response related genes, especially on the antigen presentation pathway. Furthermore, an immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the number of CD8 T lymphocytes infiltrating into tumor tissue was significantly decreased in high-risk ovarian cancers. These predictive biomarkers based on the 126-gene expression signature will identify high-risk ovarian cancer patients who need novel immune-activating therapeutic approaches, leading to improved outcomes for such patients. Two hundred sixty patients who were diagnosed as advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer were analyzed in this study. Microaray data from 10 patients who were diagnosed as advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer were analyzed to investigate coefficient of correlation in each probes between Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray and Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2.0.

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer is the most aggressive histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer, which is characterized by a high frequency of somatic TP53 mutations. To provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these cancers and to develop a risk classification system, we conducted profiling of the copy number alterations present in these tumors. Thirty patients who were diagnosed as high-grade serous ovarian cancer were recruited in this study. Affymetrix SNP array were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from high-grade serous ovarian cancer tissues or peripheral blood samples.

Project description:Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma is believed to arise from serous borderline ovarian tumors, yet the progression from serous borderline tumors to low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes between the two groups. Expression profiles were generated from 6 human ovarian surface epithelia (HOSE), 8 serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOT), 13 low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (LG), and 22 high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HG). The anterior gradient homolog 3 (AGR3) gene was found to be highly upregulated in serous borderline ovarian tumors; this finding was validated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Anti-AGR3 immunohistochemistry was performed on an additional 56 LG and 103 HG tissues and the results were correlated with clinical data. Expression profiling determined that 1254 genes were differentially expressed (P < 0.005) between SBOT, LG and HG tumors. Serous borderline ovarian tumors exhibited robust positive staining for AGR3, with a lower percentage of tumor cells stained in LG and HG. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that AGR3 expression was limited to ciliated cells. Tumor samples with a high percentage (>10%) of AGR3 positively stained tumor cells were associated with improved longer median survival in both the LG (P = 0.013) and HG (P = 0.008) serous ovarian carcinoma groups. The progression of serous borderline ovarian tumors to low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma may involve the de-differentiation of ciliated cells. AGR3 could serve as a prognostic marker for survival in patients with low-grade and high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas. Total RNA were extracted from microdissected human ovarian surface epithelia (HOSE, n=6), and microdissected serous borderline ovarian tumors (LMP, n=8), low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (LGOSC, n=13), and 22 high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGOSC, n=22). Gene Expression profiles were then generated with commercial GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. dChip was used to identify significant differentially expressed genes between LMP/LGOSC and HGOSC
