Project description:The 1q gain is related to poor survival, and to a profile of cell cycle deregulation in Ewing's Sarcoma (ES). Tumor samples with 1q gain overexpress the gene DTL. We have silenced DTL in three ES cell lines in order to compare the differential expression pattern produced with the differential expression pattern which characterizes 1q gained-tumors. We silenced DTL in three ES cell lines with two different shRNA constructions by means of lentiviral transduction. pLKO.1-non-targeting control was transduced in the control samples. RNA was extracted and hybridized with Affymetrix expression microarrays.

Project description:The synthesis and processing of mRNA, from transcription to translation initiation, often requires splicing of intragenic material. The final mRNA composition varies based upon proteins that modulate splice site selection. EWS-FLI1 is an Ewing sarcoma (ES) oncogene with an interactome that we demonstrate to have multiple partners in spliceosomal complexes. We evaluate EWS-FLI1 upon post-transcriptional gene regulation using both exon array and RNA-seq. Genes that potentially regulate oncogenesis including CLK1, CASP3, PPFIBP1, and TERT validate as alternatively spliced by EWS-FLI1. EWS-FLI1 also alters splicing by directly binding to known splicing factors including DDX5, hnRNPK, and PRPF6. Reduction of EWS-FLI1 produces an isoform of g-TERT that has increased telomerase activity compared to WT TERT. The small molecule YK-4-279 is an inhibitor of EWS-FLI1 oncogenic function that disrupts specific protein interactions including DDX5 and RNA helicase A (RHA) that alters RNA splicing ratios. As such, YK-4-279 validates the splicing mechanism of EWS-FLI1 showing alternatively spliced gene patterns that significantly overlap with EWS-FLI1 reduction and WT human mesenchymal stem cells. Exon array analysis of 75 ES patient samples show similar isoform expression patterns to cell line models expressing EWS-FLI1, supporting the clinical relevance of our findings. These experiments establish systemic alternative splicing as an oncogenic process modulated by EWS-FLI1. EWS-FLI1 modulation of mRNA splicing may provide insight into the contribution of splicing towards oncogenesis, and reciprocally, EWS-FLI1 interactions with splicing proteins may inform the splicing code. Alternative splicing of RNA allows a limited number of coding regions in the human genome to produce proteins with diverse functionality. Alternative splicing has also been implicated as an oncogenic process. Identifying aspects of cancer cells that differentiate them from non-cancer cells remains an ongoing challenge and our research suggests that alternatively spliced mRNA and subsequent protein isoforms will provide new anti-cancer targets. We determined that the key oncogene of Ewing sarcoma (ES), EWS-FLI1, regulates alternative splicing in multiple cell line models. These experiments establish oncogenic aspects of splicing which are specific to cancer cells and thereby illuminate potentially oncogenic splicing shifts as well as provide a useful stratification mechanism for ES patients. We analyzed three models of EWS-FLI1 using Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST microarray: (i) Ewing's sarcoma TC32 wild-type cells expressing EWS-FLI1, and TC32 cells where EWS-FLI1 was reduced with a lentiviral shRNA; (ii) A673i, which has a doxycycline-inducible shRNA to reduce EWS-FLI1 expression, and wild-type EWS-FLI1 to screen for alternative splicing as measured by exon-specific expression changes; and (iii) human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC), a putative cell of origin of Ewing's sarcoma, exogenously expressing EWS-FLI1, and hMSC wild-type cells without EWS-FLI1. Three biological replicates were included for each condition. The Bioconductor package "oligo" in the R programming language was used for normalization and background correction. Analysis was carried out using only core probesets, as defined by the manufacturer.

Project description:Microarray gene expression analysis conducted from cell lines in each of three cohorts: (1) Resistant ES cell lines, (2) Sensitive parental ES cell lines treated with YK-4-279 for 72 hours, and (3) untreated sensitive parental ES cell lines (Three replicates from TC32 & TC71 original parental cell lines) We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying mechanism of resistance to YK-4-279 within parental sensitive and resistant selected Ewing's Sarcoma cell lines. We identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Total RNA was extracted from the cell lines using the Qiagen miRNeasy Mini kit. RNA quality was assessed to have an RNA integrity number before amplification and labeling using AffymetrixM-bM-^@M-^Ys GeneChip GeneChipM-BM-.3M-bM-^@M-^Y IVT Express Kit following manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Amplified and biotinylated cRNAs were hybridized onto Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133A 2.0 cartridge arrays, Washed, and Stained with kit following manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Arrays were scanned using Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000 and the initial raw data were extracted using Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console-Expression software. The statistical analyses of scanned data were performed using default setting on GeneSpring GX 12.1 software (Agilent).

Project description:The fusion oncoprotein EWS-FLI1 arises from a t(11;22)(q24;q12) chromosomal translocation and causes Ewing's Sarcoma, a malignant bone tumor. The mechanism whereby EWS-FLI1 transforms cells is unknown. Somatic, mosaic expression of human EWS-FLI1 in zebrafish from the heat shock promoter [Tg(HSP:EWS-FLI1)] caused small round blue cell tumors (SRBCTs) similar to human Ewing's sarcoma. We performed microarray studies comparing zebrafish SRBCTs to another tumor type, zebrafish malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). The results identify a conserved set of EWS-FLI1-regulated genes,and provide insight into the pathogenesis of Ewing's Sarcoma tumors. Zebrafish SRBCTs arising from somatic insertions of the EWS-FLI1 transgene were collected. MPNSTs from non-transgenic fish of the same genetic background were collected in parallel. RNA was prepared from all samples and hybridized to zebrafish-specific Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:We have previously reported that the deficiency of p53 alone or in combination with Rb (Rb-/- p53-/-) in adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs) promotes leiomyosarcoma-like tumors in vivo. Here, we hypothesized that the source of MSCs and/or the cell differentiation stage could determine the phenotype of sarcoma development. To investigate whether there is a link between the source of MSCs and sarcoma phenotype, we generated p53-/- and Rb-/-p53-/- MSCs from bone marrow (BM-MSCs). Both genotypes of BM-MSCs initiated leiomyosarcoma formation similar to p53-/- and Rb-/-p53-/- ASCs. In addition, gene expression profiling revealed a link between p53- or Rb-p53-deficient BM-MSCs and ASCs and muscle-associated sarcomagenesis. These data suggest that the tissue source of MSC does not seem a crucial factor in the development of a particular sarcoma phenotype. To analyze whether the differentiation stage defines the sarcoma phenotype, BM-MSCs and ASCs were induced to differentiate towards the osteogenic lineage, and both p53 and Rb were excised using Cre-expressing adenovectors at different stages along osteogenic differentiation. Regardless of the level of osteogenic commitment, the inactivation of Rb and p53 in BM-MSC-derived, but not in ASC-derived, osteogenic progenitors gave rise to osteosarcoma-like tumors which could be serially transplanted. This indicates that the osteogenic differentiation stage of BM-MSCs imposes the phenotype of in vivo sarcoma development, and that BM-MSC-derived osteogenic progenitors rather than undifferentiated BM-MSCs, undifferentiated ASCs or ASC-derived osteogenic progenitors, represent the cell of origin for osteosarcoma development. BM-MSC and ASC cultures were established from 3 mouse strains: (a) WT, (b) p53loxP/loxP and (c) p53loxP/loxP RbloxP/loxP. The corresponding mutant cells were generated by excision of the LoxP-flanked sequences by infection of all MSC cultures with adenoviral vectors expressing the Cre-recombinase gene (Ad-CMV-Cre). NSG mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 5×10^6 mutant cells. Animals were killed when tumors reached 1 cm3 or 150 days after infusion. Some of the obtained tumors were mechanically disaggregated to establish ex vivo MSC-transformed cell lines. Gene expression analysis was performed using BM-MSCs and ASCs from all genotypes, as well as tumor cell lines derived from p53-/- and p53-/-Rb-/- BM-MSC and ASC cultures.
