Gene expression profile analysis of inducible melanotic and amelanotic melanoma in mice

ABSTRACT: We analyzed an inducible melanoma model in TiRP Ink4a/ArfF/F B10.D2 mice based on the conditional deletion in melanocytes of two tumor suppressor genes INK4a/Arf coupled to the expression of the oncogene H-rasG12V and a known tumor antigen (Hujibers et al. Cancer Res. 66:3278,2006; Soudja et al. Cancer Res. 70:3515-3525,2010). About 40% of these mice develop melanomas. Some tumors are heavily pigmented melanotic melanoma and grow slowly (hereafter referred to as “Mela”), but most of the induced tumors are nonpigmented amelanotic melanomas which are more aggressive (hereafter referred to as “Amela”). Gene expression profiles of the two types of tumors and of Amela-derived cell lines established in vitro were analyzed to identify the transcriptional signatures of these two types of tumors (including stromal components and infiltrating cells), as well as that intrinsic to Amela-tumor cells. 4 Amela and 4 Mela ex-vivo tumors were compared in a dye-swap experiment (8 chips). 4 Amela and 4 Mela ex-vivo tumors were compared to healthy skin (CTRL) (8 chips). 4 Amela ex-vivo tumors and Amela cell lines were compared in a dye-swap experiment (8 chips).

We compared gene expression signatures of aggressive amelanotic (Amela) melanomas with those of slowly growing pigmented melanomas (Mela), identifying pathways potentially responsible for the aggressive Amela phenotype. Both tumors develop in mice upon conditional deletion in melanocytes of Ink4a/Arf tumor suppressor genes with concomitant expression of oncogene H-Ras(G12V) and a known tumor antigen. We previously showed that only the aggressive Amela tumors were highly infiltrated by leukocytes ...[more]

Project description:Recent studies have identified miR-210 among a set of hypoxia-regulated miRNAs, and shown the central regulatory role played by HIF to control transcription of this miRNA. Contradictory data exist concerning the regulation and roles of miR-210 during cancer progression. miR-210 appears at the same time over-expressed in some solid tumors (breast, pancreas, head and neck carcinomas, gliomas) while often deleted in ovarian carcinoma. It has been shown that depending on the tissue type or cellular model, miR-210 was indeed able to either promote entry into the cell cycle and to inhibit apoptosis or rather repress tumor initiation. We show here deregulation of several miRNAs in human lung cancer biopsies, including an over-expression of miR-210 which appears specific of late-stages of the tumor (>stage 2). MiR-210 function was then analyzed in the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. We found that miR-210 induced a delayed inhibition of proliferation associated with an induction of cell death. We also observed that mir-210 induces a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the apparition of an aberrant mitochondrial phenotype. mRNA expression profiling of cells overexpressing mir-210 revealed a specific signature characterized by an enrichment in mir-210 predicted targets among the downregulated transcripts (57 out of 243, p<10-12). Functional annotation of this set of mir-210-regulated transcripts, which includes several subunits of Electron Transport Chain (ETC) complex I and complex II revealed enrichment for terms such as 'cell death' and 'mitochondrial dysfunction'. Two of these ETC subunits, predicted to be targets of mir-210 by several bioinformatics prediction tools, were experimentally confirmed after cloning of their respective 3'UTR in a luciferase reporter vector. Finally, we provide experimental evidence indicating that these mitochondrial alterations could modulate HIF via a positive regulatory loop. Overall, our data strongly suggest that mir-210 could mediate two apparently opposite functions: i) apoptosis through targeting of specific mitochondrial components ii) a modulation of HIF through a positive regulatory loop. We propose that this dual behavior can explain the contradictory data regarding the impact of miR-210 during cancer progression. Refer to individual Series.

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) transcriptionnally regulated by retinoic acid (RA). For that purpose we have used the RA-based treatment of the Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) as a model. This malignancy is characterised by a differentiation arrest of granulopoiesis at the promyelocytic stage. APL is molecularly associated with reciprocal translocations that always involve the retinoic acid receptor a (RARa). In the vast majority of APL cases, a t(15;17) chromosomal translocation fuses the genes encoding the promyelocytic leukemia protein PML and RARa. The resulting PML-RARa is a transcriptional repressor that impedes the expression of RA-regulated genes notably through an aberrant recruitment of transcriptional repressors and histone deacetylases. Consequently, these genes become insensitive to physiological doses (nanoM) of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) but pharmacological doses (microM), overcome the PML-RARa-mediated repression and restore normal transcription and granulocytic differentiation. The restorative effects of RA can be reproduced in vitro in the NB4 cells, which were derived from an APL patient. These cells provide an excellent model to study the transcriptional deregulations that arise in APL and the molecular effects of the anti-cancerous RA-based treatment. We also used in this study the RA-resistant cells, namely NB4-LR1 and NB4-LR2 cells. The NB4-LR1 cells do transcriptionally respond to ATRA but do not maturate. In contrast, the NB4-LR2 cells show a clear defect in RA signaling, as they harbor a truncated form of PML-RAR protein that is not sensitive to pharmacological doses of RA. First, we plan to characterize miRNAs-repressed by PML-RAR. We reasoned that if some miRNAs are repressed by this protein, then pharmacological doses of RA should abolish this repression and lead to an increase in the level of expression of the corresponding miRNAs. NB4, NB4-LR1 and NB4-LR2 cells will thus be treated for 16h with ATRA (1 microM), and miRNAs profiles will be compared. We anticipate that, the expression of a potential miRNA-repressed by PML-RAR should be up-regulated by ATRA in both NB4 and NB4-LR1 cells but remain unchanged in NB4-LR2 cells. This expression pattern should in fact be similar to those observed for known RA-regulated genes, such as RARb, a well characterized target of the RARa and PML-RAR proteins. Importantly, this experimental procedure was already validated with the identification of a miRNA repressed by PML-RAR (patent Lecellier et al. #WO 2006/048553). MiRNAs candidates obtained will then be validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-RARa and anti-PML antibodies, followed by luciferase assays in presence or absence of ATRA. Keywords: retinoic acid-mediated gene regulation To characterize miRNAs regulated by PML-RAR.

Project description:During chronic liver disease, tissue remodeling leads to dramatic changes and accumulation of matrix components. Matrix metalloproteases and their inhibitors have been involved in the regulation of matrix degradation. However, the role of other proteases remains incompletely defined. We undertook a gene-expression screen of human liver fibrosis samples using a dedicated gene array selected for relevance to protease activities, identifying the ADAMTS1 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase [ADAM] with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 1) gene as an important node of the protease network. Up-regulation of ADAMTS1 in fibrosis was found to be associated with hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation. ADAMTS1 is synthesized as 110-kDa latent forms and is processed by HSCs to accumulate as 87-kDa mature forms in fibrotic tissues. Structural evidence has suggested that the thrombospondin motif-containing domain from ADAMTS1 may be involved in interactions with, and activation of, the major fibrogenic cytokine, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). Indeed, we observed direct interactions between ADAMTS1 and latency-associated peptide-TGF-β (LAP-TGF-β). ADAMTS1 induces TGF-β activation through the interaction of the ADAMTS1 KTFR peptide with the LAP-TGF-β LKSL peptide. Down-regulation of ADAMTS1 in HSCs decreases the release of TGF-β competent for transcriptional activation, and KTFR competitor peptides directed against ADAMTS1 block the HSC-mediated release of active TGF-β. Using a mouse liver fibrosis model, we show that carbon tetrachloride treatment induces ADAMTS1 expression in parallel to that of type I collagen. Importantly, concurrent injection of the KTFR peptide prevents liver damage. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that up-regulation of ADAMTS1 in HSCs constitutes a new mechanism for control of TGF-β activation in chronic liver disease.

Project description:SaOS2 osteosarcoma cells were cultured with or without atorvastatin (10 µM) for 6, 15 or 24h (2 biological replcates). RNA were isolated and hybridized to RNG microarrays. Background Osteosarcoma is the most common primary tumor of bone. The rapid development of metastatic lesions and resistance to chemotherapy remain major mechanisms responsible for the failure of treatments and poor survival rate for patients. Methods We previously showed that the HMGCoA reductase inhibitors statins exhibit anti-tumoral effects on osteosarcoma cells. Here, using microarray analysis, we identify cyr61/CCN1 as a new target of statins. Modulations of expression of cyr61 were performed in human and murine osteosarcoma cell lines to investigate in vitro cell viability, migratory potential and invasiveness. Cyr61 expression was evaluated in 231 tissue cores from osteosarcoma patients using tissue microarray. Tumor behavior and metastases occurence were analysed by IM injection of modified osteosarcoma cells to BALB/c mice. Results Transcriptome comparisons revealed that statins down-regulate cyr61 expression in SaOS2 cells. Cyr61 silencing in human and murine osteosarcoma cell lines enhanced cell death, but reduced cell migration and cell invasion compared to parental cells whereas cyr61 overexpression had opposite effects. Tissue microarray analysis demonstrated that cyr61 protein expression is higher in human osteosarcoma compared to normal bone tissue and is further increased in metastatic tissues. In vivo, cyr61 overexpression in osteosarcoma cells enhanced lung metastases development whereas cyr61 silencing strongly reduced metastases in mice. Conclusion The results reveal that cyr61 expression increases with tumor grade in human osteosarcoma and demonstrate that cyr61 silencing inhibits in vitro osteosarcoma cell invasion and migration as well as in vivo lung metastases in mice. These data provide a novel molecular target for therapeutic intervention in metastatic osteosarcoma.
