Transcriptome analysis of pancreatic cancer cell line that differ in metastatic potential

ABSTRACT: Two pancreatic cancer cell lines with different metastatic and growth potential were compared under hypoxic conditions and under normal atmospheric oxygen pressure. The FG cell lines shows very few metastases and slow growth in mouse xenograft models. L3.6pl, derived from FG by cycles re-implantation of metastatic cells obtained after orthotopic tumor growth in nude mice, shows high motility, aggressive growth and very high metastatic potential By comparison of the two cell lines under different oxygen concentration we tried to simulate in vivo conditions of tumors at different growth stages. Differentially expressed genes and transcription factor regulating coexpressed genes identified by SOTA clustering were used to identify key genes that define metastatic potential of pancreatic cancer cells Keywords: 2+2 factorial design 12 samples, two cell lines * two culture conditions(oxygen pressure) * three replicates

<h4>Unlabelled</h4>Pancreatic cancer aggressiveness is characterized by its high capacity for local invasion, ability to promote angiogenesis, and potential to metastasize. Hypoxia is known to represent a crucial step in the development of aggressive malignant features of many human cancers. However, micrometastatic tumors are not typically subjected to hypoxic events during early stages of dissemination; therefore, it is unclear how these tumors are able to maintain their aggressive phenotype. ...[more]

Project description:Background: MYC is a transcription factor encoded by the c-MYC gene (thereafter termed MYC). MYC is key transcription factor involved in many central cellular processes including ribosomal biogenesis. MYC is overexpressed in the majority of human tumours including aggressive B-cell lymphoma especially Burkitt's lymphoma. Although Burkitt's lymphoma is a highlight example for MYC overexpression due to a chromosomal translocation, no global analysis of MYC binding sites by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by global next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) has been conducted so far in Burkitt's lymphoma. Methodology/Principal Findings: ChIP-Seq was performed with a MYC-specific antibody giving rise to 7,054 predicted MYC binding sites after bioinformatics analysis of a total of 19 million sequence reads. In line with previous findings, binding sites accumulate in gene sets known to be involved in the ribosomal biogenesis, histone acetyltransferase and methyltransferase complexes and the cell cycle demonstrating a regulatory role of MYC in these processes. Unexpectedly, MYC binding sites also accumulate in genes typically expressed in mature B-cells. To assess the functional consequences of altered MYC binding, the ChIP-Seq data were supplemented with siRNA mediated knock-downs of MYC in BL cell lines followed by gene expression profiling. Interestingly, amongst others, genes involved in B-cell function were up-regulated in response to MYC silencing. Conclusion/Significance: The 7,054 MYC-binding sites identified by our ChIP-Seq approach greatly extend the knowledge regarding MYC binding in Burkitt's lymphoma and sheds further light on the enormous complexity of the MYC regulatory network. Especially our observation that (i) many B-cell relevant genes are targeted by MYC and (ii) that MYC down-regulation leads to an up-regulation of B-cell genes highlights an interesting aspect of BurkittM-BM-4s lymphoma biology. [ChIP-Seq] Analysis of MYC DNA binding sites by ChiP-Seq in 5 BurkittM-BM-4s lymphoma cell lines (Raji, Ramos, Blue1, BL41, CA46) [mRNA expression profiling] siRNA-mediated knock-down of MYC was done employing the BL cell lines Raji, BL41 and Blue1 in order to detect MYC-driven gene expression changes. For this purpose, the cells were Amaxa-transfected using MYC smart pool siRNA and control siRNA (Thermo Scientific/Dharmacon, Erembodegem, Belgium), respectively.
