Comparison of gene expression in radio-resistant and radio-sensitive patient-derived spheroid cultures of small cell carcinoma of the cervix

ABSTRACT: We established panels of patient-derived culture of the cancer cells from small cell carcinoma of the cervix uteri (SCCC) by cancer tissueM-bM-^@M-^Soriginated spheroids (CTOS) method. Then we developed in vitro sensitivity assay for radiation using CTOSs to assess the intrinsic radio-sensitivity and mechanism of radio-resistance in individual SCCC patients. To find factors that affect to the radio-sensitivity we compared gene expression of radio-resistant CTOS (cerv-5) and radio-sensitive CTOS (cerv-9). We compared gene expression of cerv5 and cerv9 CTOSs under the culture condition.

Project description:Approximately 25% of all head and neck cancers (HNC), and up to 60% of oropharyngeal cancers (OPC) are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), predominantly HPV16. HPV-associated OPC have better prognosis and a more favorable response to therapy as compared to HPV-negative tumors. Viral oncoproteins are capable of transforming primary human keratinocytes from either genital or oral epithelia in vitro and most likely play the same role in vivo, by disrupting cell-cycle regulatory pathways leading to a genetic progression to ano-genital cancer and OPC. However, the precise mechanisms by which HPV mediates malignant transformation of keratinocytes in the upper digestive tract epithelia are not entirely clear. HPV E7-mediated inactivation of pRb results in overexpression of p16INK4A, which is commonly used as a clinical surrogate marker for HPV positivity/activity. However, high p16INK4A alone has insufficient sensitivity and specificity as a biomarker of HPV positivity in different mucosal sub-sites of HNC. Therefore, increasing emphasis is being placed on the assessment of viral load and E7 oncogene expression, resulting in further classification of HPV positive OPC as HPV-active and HPV-inactive. Differences in risk factors, age of presentation, clinical behavior and gene expression profiles indicate that HPV-positive and HPV-negative tumors develop via different molecular mechanisms and are biologically distinct. According to some reports, the rate of HPV-associated tumors is much lower in AA patients as compared to EA patients in United States. This study aimed to compare the gene expression profiles of HPV-active, -inactive and -negative OPCs from european american patients, and determine their biological differences. ANALYSIS 3: Three-condition, one-color experiment: HPV-active, HPV-inactive and HPV-negative oropharyngeal tumor samples from european american patients. Biological replicates: 8 HPV Negative Tumors. 4 HPV Inactive Tumors. 11 HPV Active Tumors.

Project description:Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide with an annual mortality rate of 200,000. About 90% of HNC can be classified as head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), of which approximately 75% are attributed to alcohol and tobacco consumption and 25 are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), predominantly HPV16. HPV-associated OPC have better prognosis and a more favorable response to therapy as compared to HPV-negative tumors.

This study aimed to compare the gene expression profiles of HPV-active OPCs and normal benign uvula/tonsil tissues and determine what biological processes and pathways are affected in HPV-active tumors. ANALYSIS 5: Two-condition, one-color experiment: HPV-active oropharyngeal tumor samples and normal benign uvula/tonsil tissues. Biological replicates: 12 HPV active samples and 4 Normal samples.
