Genes with common functions often exhibit correlated expression levels, which can be used to identify sets of interacting genes from microarray data. Microarrays typically measure expression across genomic space, creating a massive matrix of co-expression that must be mined to extract only the most relevant gene interactions. We describe a graph theoretical approach to extracting co-expressed sets of genes, based on the computation of cliques. Unlike the results of traditional clustering algorit ...[more]

Project description:To identify gene expression biomarkers associated with asbestos-related lung adenocarcinoma, we analyzed primary tumour gene expression for a total of 36 primary lung adenocarcinomas on 22,323 element microarrays, comparing 12 patients with lung asbestos body counts above levels associated with urban dwelling (ARLC-AC: asbestos-related lung cancer-adenocarcinoma) with 24 patients with no asbestos bodies (NARLC-AC: non-asbestos related lung cancer-adenocarcinoma). To identify gene expression biomarkers associated with asbestos-related lung tumorigenicity, we performed gene expression array analysis on tumours of 36 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma, comparing twelve patients with lung asbestos body counts above levels associated with urban dwelling (ARLC-AC: asbestos-related lung cancer-adenocarcinoma) with twenty-four patients with no asbestos bodies (NARLC-AC: non-asbestos related lung cancer-adenocarcinoma). Synthesis of the labelled first strand cDNA was conducted using Amersham CyScribe Post-Labelling kit with starting material of 20 ug of total RNA. The amino-allyl labeled dNTP mix was added to the reaction to generate amino-allyl labelled second strand cDNA. Following the hydrolysis reaction, single-stranded cDNA probes were purified using Amersham GFX columns. Dye coupling reactions were performed by mixing the cDNA samples with Amersham Cy3 (reference) or Cy5 (tumour) and incubating in the dark. The reactions were purified with Amersham GFX columns to remove the unincorporated/quenched dyes. After the purification samples were combined for hybridization, the labeled cDNAs were co-hybridized to 22K oligo microarrays. Slides were scanned on GMS418 confocal scanner (Agilent). Genes differentially expressed between ARLC-AC and NARLC-AC were identified on fold change and P-value, and then prioritised using gene ontology.

Project description:Background: Glucocorticoids are important pharmaceutical agents in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children. Resistance or sensitivity to glucocorticoids is considered to be of crucial importance for disease prognosis. Prednisolone is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Here, the effects of prednisolone on the resistant CCRF-CEM leukemic cell line were studied. Methods: Prednisolone’s cytotoxic and cell cycle effects were studied with flow cytometry. NF-κB translocation was studied with Western Blotting and differential gene expression was studied with cDNA microarrays. Results: Prednisolone exerted a delayed biphasic effect, necrotic at low doses and apoptotic at higher doses. At low doses, prednisolone exerted a pre-dominant mitogenic effect despite its induction on total cell death, while at higher doses, prednisolone’s mitogenic and cell death effects were counterbalanced. NF-κB was constitutively present in the nucleus. Early gene microarray analysis revealed 40 differentially expressed genes upon 4 hours of prednisolone’s exposure. Notable differences in gene regulation were observed between the lowest and the highest glucocorticoid doses. Prednisolone activated genes related to apoptosis/tumor suppression, cell cycle progression, metabolism and intra-/ extra-cellular signaling pathways. Conclusions: The mitogenic/biphasic effects of prednisolone are of clinical importance in the case of resistant leukemic cells. This approach might lead to the identification of gene candidates for future molecular drug targets in combination therapy with glucocorticoids, along with early markers for glucocorticoid resistance. Elucidation of the mechanisms of GC action may lead to identification of gene targets responsible for GC resistance. Key tools in this process are high-throughput technologies such as microarray-based gene expression analysis. For this purpose, the parental CCRF-CEM cell line was chosen as the system of study for the effects of prednisolone treatment. This is a T-cell leukemia cell line characterized by a mutation (L753F) on one GR gene allele that impairs ligand binding (Thompson and Johnson 2003). It is known that both the DNA and ligand binding domains of the GR are required in order to repress NF-κB transactivation (Wissink, van Heerde et al. 1997). Interestingly, concerning the question whether this mutation would affect GC resistance, it has been reported previously that both the GC-resistant as well as the GC-sensitive CCRF-CEM subclones express heterogeneous populations of the GR (GRwt/GRL753F) (Palmer and Harmon 1991; Powers, Hillmann et al. 1993). The CCRF-CEM cell line has been reported to be resistant to GCs, presumably due to the accumulation of more resistant variants after long periods of prolonged culture (Norman and Thompson 1977). It is possible that these cells are clonally inhomogeneous, as possibly the cells obtained in vivo by patients. Moreover, the large number of the CCRF-CEM subclone studies in the literature makes it difficult to choose an appropriate resistant cell model. In addition, the utilization of an in vitro system for this study offered reproducibility, an opportunity to closely examine intracellular signals and avoid interference from other in vivo-participating systems. Thus, the cell line used for this study was considered to be useful in studying GC action and resistance in leukemic cells. The aim of this work was to determine the cytotoxic, cell cycle phase distribution and early cancer-specific gene expression effects of prednisolone in CCRF-CEM cells, as an in vitro model of ALL resistance to glucocorticoids. The early gene expression profile allowed identification of genes initiating pivotal, early onset regulatory mechanisms activated by GC and excluded ensuing feedback responses and further downstream signals. Samples tested were in the form of a loop-design i.e. control vs. 10nM prednisolone (designated 0vs1) , 10nM prednisolone vs.700uM prednisolone (designated 1vs3) and control vs. 700uM prednisolone (designated 0vs3), the sum of the logarithms of the first two should equal the third. In other words if Rj,i is the ratio of the ith gene in the jth experiment then R0vs1,i+R1vs3,i=R0vs3,i. We tested this using a statistical test. We have applied an intensity-dependent z-score where the sum of the ratios was compared to the ratio of the third experiment. If the difference was significant genes, in a standard deviation threshold of ±1.5 in relative units, were rejected from further analysis (Kerr and Churchill 2001; Kerr and Churchill 2001; Altman and Hua 2006; Kerr and Churchill 2007).

Project description:Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Overall 5-year survival is about 10-15% and despite curative intent surgery, treatment failure is primarily due to recurrent disease. Conventional prognostic markers are unable to determine which patients with completely resected disease within each stage group are likely to relapse. To identify a gene signature associated with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of lung, we analyzed primary tumour gene expression for a total of fifty-one SCCs (stage I-III) on 22,323 element microarrays, comparing expression profiles for individuals who remained disease-free for a minimum of 36 months with those from individuals whose disease recurred within 18 months of complete resection. Cox proportional hazards modeling with leave-one-out cross-validation identified a 70-gene capable of predicting the likelihood of tumor recurrence and a 79-gene signature predictive for overall survival. These two signatures were pooled to generate a 111-gene classifier which achieved an overall predictive accuracy for disease recurrence of 72% (77% sensitivity, 67% specificity) in an independent set of fifty-eight stage I-III SCCs. This classifier also predicted differences in survival (log-rank P=0.0008, hazard ratio (HR), 3.8 [95% confidence interval, 1.6-8.7]), and was superior to conventional prognostic markers such as TNM stage or N stage in predicting patient outcome. Genome-wide profiling has revealed a distinct gene expression profile for recurrent lung SCC which may be clinically useful as a prognostic tool.

Project description:Using gene expression microarrays, we tested whether lung SCCs that have metastasised to loco-regional lymph nodes (N1/2m) are different to those that directly invade and involve local nodes (N1d). Using 22,323 element microarrays, a non-parametric test identified 126 genes/transcripts that discriminated between N0 (n=35) and N1/2m (n=16) tumours (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test, P<0.01). Hiearchical clustering of all 59 tumours (including 8 N1d tumours) demonstrated the N1d tumours clustered with the N0 tumours rather than the N1/2m tumours. Next, we built class prediction models from the 35 N0 tumours and 16 N1/2m tumours to predict the class of N1d tumours. All models consistently classified N1d tumours as similar to N0 tumours. This could explain some of the variable response of some N1 tumours to adjuvant chemotherapy, and suggest refinement of the TNM "N" stage nomenclature to adjust for this biological observation to ensure appropriate patients benefit from treatment.

Project description:One of the eminent opportunities afforded by modern genomic technologies is the potential to provide a mechanistic understanding of the processes by which genetic change translates to phenotypic variation and the resultant appearance of distinct physiological traits. Indeed much progress has been made in this area, particularly in biomedicine where functional genomic information can be used to determine the physiological state (e.g., diagnosis) and predict phenotypic outcome (e.g., patient survival). Until now, ecology has lacked an analogous approach where genomic information can be used to diagnose the presence of a given physiological state (e.g., stress response) and then predict likely phenotypic outcomes (e.g., stress tolerance, fitness). We demonstrate that a compendium of genomic signatures can be used to classify the plant abiotic stress phenotype in Arabidopsis according to the architecture of the transcriptome, and then be linked with gene coexpression network analysis to determine the underlying signaling pathways and ultimately the genes governing the phenotypic response. Here, we release microarray data from an expression profiling study where plants were exposed to heat and drought alone, and in combination with each other. A direct loop design with 6 biological replicates for control, heat, drought, and combined heat and drought was performed. A schematic describing the design is provide as supplementary information.

Project description:A large-scale functional genomics study revealed shifting energy generating processes in white muscle during the final 1,300 km migration of wild sockeye salmon to their spawning grounds in the Fraser River, British Columbia. In 2006, Lower Adams stock sockeye salmon ceased feeding after passing the Queen Charlotte Islands, 850 km from the Fraser River. Enhanced protein turnover and reduced transcription of actin, muscle contractile and heme-related proteins were early starvation responses in saltwater. Arrival to the estuarine environment triggered massive protein turnover through induction of proteasoma and lysosomal proteolysis and protein biosynthesis, and a shift from anaerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation. Response to entry into freshwater was modest, with up-regulation of heat shock proteins and nitric oxide biosynthesis. High river temperatures resulted in a strong defense/immune response and high mortalities in 50% of fish. Arrival to the spawning grounds triggered further up-regulation of oxidative phosphorylation and proteolysis, down-regulation of protein biosynthesis and helicase activity, and continued down-regulation of muscle proteins and most glycolytic enzymes. However, sharp up-regulation of PFK-I indicated induction of glycolytic potential at the spawning grounds. The identification of potential environmental cues triggering genome-wide transcriptional shifts in white muscle associated with migration and the strong activation of proteasomal proteolysis were both novel findings. Keywords: Functional genomics study on wild-caught fish The experiment was based on expression profiles of white muscle tissue collected from wild migrating adult sockeye salmon during their return spawning migration back to the Fraser River. Fish were collected from seven sites along the final 1,300 km migration path, and white muscle samples were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen upon capture. Marine sampling sites included (from north to south) the Queen Charlotte Islands (QCI), Johnstone Strait (JS), Juan de Fuca Strait (JDFS), and the Strait of Georgia (SOG). Freshwater sampling sites included Whonnock (W), Savona (SV) and the Lower Adams Spawning Grounds. Genetically-based stock ID was used to identify the natal sites of fish collected from the wild. The experiment was designed to profile the transcriptional shifts associated with migration of the Adams River stock complex. The total experiment included 80 microarray slides, with a minimum biological replicate size per site of 6 (SV), and maximum of 18 (JS) (see supplemental table for details). Additional intra-site variables, which could only be addressed in some sites, included sex (female biased) and river entry timing (for JS, JDFS and W sites; identified through radio-tracking of marine collected fish). Total RNA was amplified (1 round) with MessageAmpTMII-96 kit (Ambion, TX, USA), and reverse transcribed to cDNA before labelling with ALEXA dyes using the Invitrogen Indirect Labelling Kit. The experiment was based on a reference design, with the reference containing the combined aRNA of all individuals used in the experiment. Individual samples were labelled with Alexa 555 and the reference control with Alexa 647, with no dye flips included. A single technical replicate of one SV fish (replicate 5) was included in the experimental design. This experiment is part of a larger white muscle experiment containing additional sockeye salmon stocks.
