Chicken ovary cancer versus normal

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate due, in part, to the lack of early detection and incomplete understanding of the origin of the disease. The hen is the only spontaneous model of ovarian cancer, and can therefore aid in the identification and testing of early detection strategies and therapeutics. To our knowledge, no studies to date have examined global gene expression in ovarian cancer of the hen. Our aim was to combine the use of the hen animal model and microarray technology to identify differentially expressed genes in ovarian tissue from normal hens compared to hens with ovarian cancer. Ovarian tissue samples from whole ovaries were collected from hens for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Hens were matched for age and laying status. Normal hens (n=3) showed no gross or histopathological evidence of ovarian cancer, while cancer specimens (n=3) had tumors that were stage 2 (restricted to the ovary and observable at necropsy) or 3 (ovarian tumor with abdominal seeding). Total RNA was extracted using TRIZOL according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:The paper describes a model on the detection of cancer based on cancer and immune biomarkers. Created by COPASI 4.25 (Build 207) This model is described in the article: Improving cancer detection through combinations of cancer and immune biomarkers: a modelling approach Raluca Eftimie and and Esraa Hassanein J Transl Med (2018) 16:73 Abstract: Background: Early cancer diagnosis is one of the most important challenges of cancer research, since in many can- cers it can lead to cure for patients with early stage diseases. For epithelial ovarian cancer (which is the leading cause of death among gynaecologic malignancies) the classical detection approach is based on measurements of CA-125 biomarker. However, the poor sensitivity and specificity of this biomarker impacts the detection of early-stage cancers. Methods: Here we use a computational approach to investigate the effect of combining multiple biomarkers for ovarian cancer (e.g., CA-125 and IL-7), to improve early cancer detection. Results: We show that this combined biomarkers approach could lead indeed to earlier cancer detection. However, the immune response (which influences the level of secreted IL-7 biomarker) plays an important role in improving and/or delaying cancer detection. Moreover, the detection level of IL-7 immune biomarker could be in a range that would not allow to distinguish between a healthy state and a cancerous state. In this case, the construction of solu- tion diagrams in the space generated by the IL-7 and CA-125 biomarkers could allow us predict the long-term evolu- tion of cancer biomarkers, thus allowing us to make predictions on cancer detection times. Conclusions: Combining cancer and immune biomarkers could improve cancer detection times, and any predic- tions that could be made (at least through the use of CA-125/IL-7 biomarkers) are patient specific.
