Project description:Current smokers develop metastatic prostate cancer more frequently than nonsmokers, suggesting that a tobacco-derived factor induces metastasis. To identify smoking-induced alterations in human prostate tumors, we analyzed gene and protein expression of tumors from current, past, and never smokers and observed distinct molecular alterations in current smokers. Specifically, an immune and inflammation signature was identified in prostate tumors of current smokers that was either attenuated or absent in past and never smokers. Key characteristics of this signature included augmented immunoglobulin expression by tumor-infiltrating B cells, NF-kB activation, and increased interleukin-8 in tumor and blood. In an alternate approach to characterize smoking-induced oncogenic alterations, we explored the effects of nicotine in prostate cancer cells and prostate cancer-prone TRAMP mice. These experiments showed that nicotine increases both invasiveness of human prostate cancer cells and metastasis in tumor-bearing TRAMP mice, indicating that nicotine can induce a phenotype that resembles the epidemiology of smoking-associated prostate cancer progression. In summary, we describe distinct oncogenic alterations in prostate tumors from current smokers and show that nicotine can enhance prostate cancer metastasis. TRAMP mice in five replicates received either tap water or a solution of 250 µg/ml of nicotine [nicotine tartrate salt (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO)] in tap water

Prostate tissues of cancer patients were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Gene expression profiles of current, past and never smokers were compared.

Project description:INTRO: The ongoing challenge of accurately diagnosing infection in the ICU motivates a search for novel molecular diagnostics. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that the informational content of circulating leukocytes differs, thereby allowing one to rank leukocyte populations on their potential to contribute to RNA diagnostics for pneumonia. METHODS: Sixteen patients (10 male, 6 female) at risk for VAP were entered into our IRB-approved study that collects blood and clinical data every 48 hours for up to 21 days. Four of the sixteen patients developed VAP as diagnosed and treated by the attending ICU physician. Previously reported blood protocols were used to isolate buffy coat, enriched neutrophil, and enriched monocyte populations by using negative selection. Cellular purity was assessed by FACS for one of the 4 VAP patients. Genome-wide expression analysis was performed on RMA-normalized signal from Affymetrix U133 2.0 Plus GeneChips. EDGE software (FDR=0.10) was used to determine changes in mRNA abundance over time for each cell population. RESULTS: During the 5-day window in which each of the four patients (all males) developed VAP, significant changes in gene expression were observed (Table 2), but the information content (number of genes altered) varied across leukocyte populations. These differences were not due to signal variance (coefficient of variation, CV) or differences in the number of samples available for analysis. Moreover, only 0.6% of the monocyte gene list overlaps with the neutrophil list, arguing that neutrophil contamination of monocyte populations is insufficient to explain the 40-fold difference in gene number. CONCLUSIONS: Enriched monocyte populations from circulating blood provide far more genes for study of the host response to VAP than the other 2 cell populations studied. This information should be considered when designing blood gene expression profiling experiments in patients at risk for sepsis.

Project description:To understand molecular mechanisms by which reducing Id2 rescues impaired erythropoiesis and hematopoietic progenitor cell development in Gfi-1-/- mice, we compared gene expression in Gfi-1-/-;Id2+/- and Gfi-1-/- BMC using Affymetrix microarray. Total RNA samples from four individual Gfi-1-/- or Gfi-1-/-;Id2+/- mice were arrayed using the GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

Project description:Bloom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic instability and cancer predisposition syndrome caused by loss of function mutations in the BLM RECQ helicase gene. To ask if some of the distinctive pathological features of Bloom syndrome might reflect altered gene expression, we analyzed global mRNA and miRNA expression in fibroblasts from 16 patients and 15 matched normal controls, and in control primary diploid fibroblasts depleted of the BLM protein. We document significant differential expression of both protein-coding genes and miRNAs with well-characterized cancer associations in BLM-deficient cells. Differences in expression correlated significantly with G4 motifs, which are associated with potential to form G-quadruplex structures. These results indicate that BLM helicase may modulate gene expression by regulating the in vivo stability of G-quadruplex structures, and identify sets of genes and miRNAs whose expression, when altered, may drive the pathogenesis of Bloom syndrome and associated cancers. Global profiling of mRNA and miRNA expression was analyzed in primary fibroblasts from 16 patients and 15 matched normal controls, and in 9 primary diploid fibroblasts depleted of BLM protein by BLM-specific (3), control (3) and scrambled (3) shRNA.

Project description:Smoking is one of the major modifiable risk factors in the development and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Modified-risk tobacco products (MRTP) are being developed to provide substitute products for smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit, to lessen the smoking-related health risks. In this study, the ApoE-/- mouse model was used to investigate the impact of cigarette smoke (CS) from the reference cigarette 3R4F, or aerosol from two potential MRTPs based on the heat-not-burn principle, carbon-heated tobacco product 1.2 (CHTP 1.2) and tobacco heating system 2.2 (THS 2.2), on the cardiovascular and respiratory system over a 6-month period. In addition to chronic exposure, cessation or switching to CHTP1.2 after 3 months of CS exposure was assessed. A systems toxicology approach combining physiology, histology and molecular measurements (transcriptomics and proteomics) was used to evaluate the impact of MRTP aerosols in comparison to CS. The current data represent the lung transcriptomics analysis. Note that the animal identifier (CAN) can be used for sample matching across different sample types and data modalities.

Project description:Developmental nicotine exposure causes persistent changes in cortical neuron morphology and in behavior. We used microarray screening to identify master transcriptional or epigenetic regulators mediating these effects of nicotine mRNA prepared from dissected cortical tissue from mice that were administered saccharin or nicotine from conception through weaning at postnatal day 21 (pre- & postnatal period), and that were then allowed to remain nicotine-free until 3 months of age

Project description:Nicotine and cigarette smoking have been previously shown to inhibit the differentiation potential and miRNA expression of human periodontal ligament derived stem cells (PDLSCs). Electronic cigarette (EC) vapor also contains nicotine, as well as other non-nicotine compounds, and, like cigarette smoking, EC vaping results in similar routes of toxic exposure for PDLSCs. The effect of exposure on PDLSC miRNA expression is unknown. To determine these effects, cultured PDLSCs were exposed to media supplemented with 1 uM nicotine EC vapor extract for 72h, during which media was changed every 24h. To produce vapor extract, an EC filled with 36 mg/ml nicotine, 50%/50% (w/v) PG/VG, non-flavored e-liquid (American E-liquid) was vaped using an automated vaping robot programmed with experienced e-cigarette user patterns (i.e. puff volume: 70 ml, duration: 3s, frequency: 20s) and resulting vapor was extracted via a liquid impinger. 1 uM of pure (-)-nicotine liquid (Sigma Aldrich) was used as a positive control. Total miRNA was collected with the mirVana miRNA isolation kit. miRNA concentration and quality was measured by spectrophotometry and expression was analyzed with Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Arrays. Results were normalized against human-positive and negative chip controls using Robust Multi-Array Average Normalization.
