Project description:Targeted cancer therapy for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has made little progress largely due to a lack of knowledge of the driving genomic alterations. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target to SCC remain a challenge. We analyzed sncRNAs microarray in 108 fresh frozen specimens of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as discovery set and assessed associations between sncRNAs and recurrence-free survival. SncRNA signature identified was externally validated in two independent cohorts. We investigated the functional consequences of sncRNA identified and its integrative analysis of complex cancer genomics. We identified 3 recurrence-associated sncRNAs (miR-223, miR-1269a and nc886) from discovery set and proved risk prediction model externally in high and low volume centers. We uncovered through in vitro experiment that nc886 was down-regulated by hypermethylation of its promoter region and influences splicing of pre-mRNAs with minor introns by regulating expression of minor spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) such as RNU4atac. Integrative analysis from lung SCC data in The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that patients with lower expression of nc886 had more genetic alterations of TP53, DNA damage response and cell cycle genes. nc886 inhibits minor splicing to suppress expression of certain oncogenes such as PARP1 and E2F family containing minor introns. We present risk prediction model with sncRNAs for ESCC. Among them, nc886 may contribute to complete minor splicing via regulation of minor spliceosomal snRNAs supporting the notion that aberrant alteration in minor splicing might be a key driver of ESCC.

Project description:Periostin, a matricellular protein, has been reported to be important in supporting tumor cell dissemination. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying periostin function within the tumor microenvironment are poorly understood. In this study, we observe that loss of periostin decreases esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tumor growth in vivo and demonstrate that periostin cooperates with a conformational missense p53 mutation to enhance invasion. Pathway analyses reveal that invasive esophageal cells expressing periostin and p53R175H mutation display activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) target genes, suggesting that the induction of STAT1 and STAT1-related genes could foster a permissive microenvironment that facilitates invasion of esophageal epithelial cells into the extracellular matrix (ECM). Genetic knockdown of STAT1 in transformed esophageal epithelial cells underscores the importance of STAT1 in promoting invasion and potentiate tumor resistance to genotoxic stress. Furthermore, we find that STAT1 is activated in ESCC xenograft tumors but this activation is attenuated with inducible knockdown of periostin in ESCC tumors. Overall, these results highlight the molecular mechanisms supporting the capacity of periostin in mediating tumor invasion during ESCC development.

Project description:Expression of the tumor suppressor protein BRCA1 is frequently lost in breast cancer patients, and the loss of its expression is associated with disruption of various critical functions in cells and cancer development. In the present study, we demonstrated that microarray analysis of cells with tumor suppressor candidate 4 (TUSC4) knockdown indicated critical changes such as cell cycle, cell death pathways and a global impact to cancer development. More importantly, we observed a clear cluster pattern of TUSC4-knockdown gene profiles with established homologous recombination (HR) repair defect signature. Additionally, TUSC4 protein can physically interact with E3 ligase Herc2 and prevents BRCA1 degradation via ubiquitination pathway. Knockdown of TUSC4 expression enhanced BRCA1 polyubiquitination, leading to BRCA1 protein degradation and a marked reduction in HR repair efficiency. Notably, ectopic expression of TUSC4 effectively suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and colony formation of breast cancer cells in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Furthermore, knockdown of TUSC4 expression transformed normal mammary epithelial cells and enhanced the sensitivity of U2OS cells to the treatment of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. Therefore, TUSC4 may act as a bona fide tumor suppressor by regulating BRCA1 protein stability and function in breast cancer. Two groups of samples are included: 1.U2OS-shcontrol 2.U2OS-shTUSC4 knockdown. Gene expression profiles of U2OS-shTUSC4 cells were compared to that of parental U2OS-shcontrol cells.

Project description:Twelve clinical samples from human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (seven tumors and five non-tumors) were sequenced using Illumina high-throughput sequencing and the RNA-Seq profiling was investigated with 1730 genes significantly differentially expressed. The gene Rab25 was found to be down-regulated in tumors (p-value < 1E-20) and identified as a novel candidate tumor suppressor gene. The down-regulation of Rab25 was examined in a large cohort of ESCC and non-tumor cases by qPCR and immunohistochemistry analyses. Aberrant methylation in the promoter region of Rab25 was studied by demethylation treatment with 5-aza-dC and bisulfite genomic sequencing (BGS). In order to assess the effect of Rab25 on tumor growth and angiogenesis, in vitro and in vivo functional studies in ESCC cell lines using lentiviral-based overexpression or knockdown models were also performed. 7 tumor and 5 normal samples

Project description:We performed the integrative transcriptome analysis of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using Illumina high-throughput sequencing. A total of 187 million 38bp sequencing reads were generated containing 7 billion bases for three pairs of matched patient-derived ESCC clinical specimens and their adjacent non-tumorous tissues. By investigating the digital gene expression profiling, we found 1425 genes significantly differentially expressed and detected more than 9000 SNPs across all six samples. We also identified protein tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6) as a novel tumor suppressor gene, which is critical in ESCC development. Analysis of whole transcriptome from 3 paired patient-derived ESCC clinical specimens and their adjacent non-tumorous tissues.

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have important roles in the progression, angiogenesis and motility of various cancers. To study the effects of TAMs on the tumor microenvironment of ESCCs, we constructed an in vitro system for the differentiation of peripheral blood monocyte (PBMo)-derived macrophages into TAM-like PBMo-derived macrophages. We established a co-culture assay using a human ESCC cell line and TAM-like PBMo-derived macrophages and we performed a cDNA microarray analysis between monocultured and co-cultured ESCC cell lines. Our qRT-PCR confirmed that in the co-cultured ESCC cell lines, CYP1A1, DHRS3, ANXA10, KLK6 and CYP1B1 mRNA were highly up-regulated; AMTN and IGFL1 mRNA were down-regulated. We observed that a high ANXA10 expression was closely associated with the depth of invasion and high numbers of infiltrating CD68+ and CD204+ TAMs. ESCC patients with high ANXA10 expression were significantly correlated with poor disease-free survival (p = 0.0216). ANXA10 knockdown using siRNA significantly suppressed the cell growth of TE-8 and TE-9 ESCC cells by inhibiting Akt and Erk1/2 signaling pathways. We confirmed that ANXA10 overexpression induced the cell growth of TE-15 ESCC cells by activating Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation. These results suggest that ANXA10 induced by TAMs in the tumor microenvironment is associated with aberrant growth and a poor prognosis in human ESCC tissues.

Project description:Urea can serve as nitrogen source for coral holobionts and plays a cruscial role in coral calcification, although the degradation of urea by coral symbionts is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the urea utilized pathway and the responses of the Symbiodiniaceae family to urea under high temperature conditions. Genome screening revealed that all Symbiodiniaceae species contain the urease (URE) and DUR2 subunit of urea amidolyase (UAD) system. However, only three speciesCladocopium goreaui, Cladopium c92, and Symbiodinium pilosum possess a complete UAD system, including both DUR1 and DUR2. Phylogentic analyses revealed that the UAD system in Symbiodiniaceae clusters more closely with symbiotic bacteria, indicating that horizontal gene transfer of UAD system has occured in coral symbionts. Physiology analysis showed that the symbiodiniacean species Cladocopium goreaui, which containing both URE and UAD, grew better under urea than ammonium conditions, as indicated by higher maximum specific growth rates. Furthermore, most genes of Symbiodiniaceae involved in urea utilization appeared to be stable under various conditions such as heat stress (HS), low light density, and nitrogen deficiency, wheras in ammonium and nitrate transporters were significantly regulated. These relatively stable molecular regulatory properties support sustained urea absorption by Symbiodiniaceae, as evidenced by an increase in δ15N2-urea absorption and the decreases in δ5N-NO3-, and δ15N-NH4+ from cultural environment to Symbiodiniaceae under HS conditions. Token together, this study reveals two distinct urea utilization systems in coral ecosystem and highlights the importance of the urea cycle in coral symbionts when facing fluctuating nitrogen environment in future warming ocean.
