Transcription profiling of human pre-invasive and invasive cervical squamous cell carcinomas and normal cervical epithelia

ABSTRACT: 10 normal squamous cervical epitheilia samples, 7 high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and 21 invasive squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix samples were obtained using laser capture miicrodissection. Two rounds of T7-based linear RNA amplification using the Arcturus RiboAmp kit were performed for each sample, and assayed using Affymetrix HG_U133A arrays. Experiment Overall Design: 10 normal squamous cervical epitheilia samples, 7 high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and 21 invasive squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix, each from different patients, were each assayed on single HG_U133A arrays. Three additional test samples were also assayed. Experiment Overall Design: The log-transformed probe-set values and the results of the statistical analysis for each probe-set, and the associated README file, are included as Supplementary files.

If left untreated, a subset of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the cervix will progress to invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). To identify genes whose differential expression is linked to cervical cancer progression, we compared gene expression in microdissected squamous epithelial samples from 10 normal cervices, 7 HSILs, and 21 SCCs using high-density oligonucleotide microarrays. We identified 171 distinct genes at least 1.5-fold up-regulated (and P < 0.001) in the S ...[more]

Project description:Background. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (~22 nt) non-coding regulatory RNAs that control gene expression at the translational level. Deregulation of miRNA expression has been discovered in a wide variety of tumours and it is now clear that they contribute to cancer development and progression. This prompted the development of miRNA-chips for cancer diagnosis or prognosis, opening a new door to understand carcinogenesis. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. Therefore, there is a strong need for a non-invasive, fast and efficient method to diagnose the disease. We investigated miRNA expression profiles in cervical cancer using a microarray platform developed in house containing probes for mature miRNAs. Results. We have evaluated miRNA expression profiles of a heterogeneous set of cervical tissues from 25 different patients. This set included 19 normal cervical tissues, 4 squamous cell carcinoma, 5 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and 9 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) samples. We observed high variability in miRNA expression especially among normal cervical samples, which prevented us from obtaining a unique miRNA expression signature for this tumour type. However, miRNAs deregulation in malignant and pre-malignant cervical tissues was detected after tackling the high variability observed. We were also able to identify putative targets of relevant candidate miRNAs. Conclusions. Our results show that miRNA deregulation may play an important role in the malignant transformation of cervical squamous cells. In addition, deregulated miRNAs highlight new candidate targets allowing a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of this tumour type. In this study we used a common reference design experiment where the common reference used was a commercial RNA from normal cervix (Ambion) and the test samples were 4 pre-treatment squamous cell cervical carcinoma, 7 high-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (CINII, n=2 and CIN III, n=5) sample, 9 low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (CIN I) samples, 19 normal cervix samples and 4 pools of normal cervix samples.

Project description:Little is known about the alterations in microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns during the consecutive stages of cervical cancer development and their association with chromosomal instability and epigenetic changes. We integrated miRNA expression profiles in normal cervical squamous epithelium, high-grade precancerous lesions (CIN2-3), squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and adenocarcinomas (AdCAs) with previously generated chromosomal profiles of the same samples. In addition, the DNA methylation status of downregulated miRNAs located in a CpG island was determined. Significantly differential expression during the consecutive stages of cervical SCC development was observed for 106 miRNAs. Altered expression of 5 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs, hsa-miR-9 (1q23.2), hsa-miR-15b (3q25.32), hsa-miR-28-5p (3q27.3), hsa-miR-100 and hsa-miR-125b (both 11q24.1) was directly linked to frequent chromosomal alterations. Another 9 significantly downregulated miRNAs were located within a CpG island. Three of these 9 miRNAs, hsa-miR-203, hsa-miR-572, and hsa-miR-638, showed increased methylation in cervical cancer cell lines and HPV-immortalised cells compared to primary keratinocytes. Functional analyses were performed for hsa-miR-9, representing a potential oncogene with increased expression linked to a chromosomal gain, and hsa-miR-203, representing a potential tumour suppressor gene silenced by DNA methylation. Hsa-miR-9 and hsa-miR-203 were found to alter cell viability and anchorage independent growth in vitro, respectively, supporting their oncogenic and tumour suppressive function in cervical cancer. In conclusion, differential expression of 106 miRNAs, partly associated with chromosomal alterations and epigenetic changes, was observed during cervical SCC development. Altered expression of hsa-miR-9 and hsa-miR-203 was shown to be functionally relevant, underlining the importance of deregulated miRNA expression in cervical carcinogenesis. 10 squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix, 9 adenocarcinomas of the cervix, 18 high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN2-3), and 10 cervical squamous epithelial samples with normal histology were analysed using single channel (Cy3) miRNA microarrays from Agilent (G4471A-016436).
