Project description:Cancer cachexia syndrome is observed in 80% of patients with advanced-stage cancer, and it is one of the most frequent causes of death. Severe wasting accounts for more than 80% in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Here we wanted to define, by using an microarray approach and the Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl, the pathways involved in muscle, liver and white adipose tissue wasting. The aim of our work was to characterize as extensively as possible the pathways activated by the pancreatic cancer-induced cachectic tissues. For this purpose, we generated and compared genome-wide expression profiles of white adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver, from Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl and LSL-KrasG12D;INK4a/arffl/fl mice at 10 weeks-old. Tissue samples by triplicate was obtained from liver, muscle and adipose tissues in both groups, controls and cachectic mice. Total RNA samples was processed and profiled on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays as previously described (Cano et al, 2012)

Project description:Although mutations in Kras are present in 21% of lung tumors, there is a high level of heterogeneity in phenotype and outcomes amongst lung cancer patients suggesting the importance of other pathways. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a known oncogenic pathway that plays a well defined role in colon and skin cancer but its role in lung cancer remains unclear. We show that activation of Wnt/β-catenin in the bronchiolar epithelium of the adult lung does not promote tumor development by itself. However, activation of Wnt/β- catenin signaling leads to a dramatic increase in tumor formation both in overall tumor number and size compared to KrasG12D alone. We show that activation of Wnt/β- catenin signaling significantly alters the KrasG12D tumor phenotype resulting in a phenotypic switch from bronchiolar epithelium to the highly proliferative distal progenitors found in the embryonic lung. This is associated with a decrease in E- cadherin expression at the cell surface which may increase metastasis in Wnt/β-catenin signaling positive tumors. Together, these data suggest that activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in combination with other oncogenic pathways in lung epithelium may lead to a more aggressive phenotype due to the imposition of an embryonic distal progenitor phenotype accompanied by decreased E-cadherin expression. We performed microarray analysis of control murine lung, CC10-cre:KrasG12D, and CC10-cre:Ctnnb1ex3flox:LSL-KrasG12D double mutant micro-dissected murine lung tumors to determine their transcriptional phenotype. Lungs of five-month-old mice were PBS inflated and all the tumors in each lobe were dissected. The total number of tumors obtained from three out of the 5 pulmonar lobes of each animal was called a sample the other two lobes were saved in case there were problems and the array needed to be repeated. Trizol was used to isolate RNA for microarray analysis. Samples & Genotypes: control murine lung n=2 animals, CC10-cre:KrasG12D n=2 animals, and CC10-cre:Ctnnb1ex3flox:LSL-KrasG12D n=2 animals.

Project description:We wished to investigate the role of E-cadherin loss in our mouse parietal cell/pre-parietal cell E-cadherin knock-out, p53 knock-out, oncogenic Kras induced model of gastric cancer. As such, we isolated RNA from stomach tissue from our E-cadherin knock-out model (Atp4b-Cre;Cdh1(fl/fl);Kras(LSL-G12D/+);Trp53(fl/fl);Rosa26(LSL-YFP/LSL-YFP)) and our E-cadherin heterozygous model (Atp4b-Cre;Cdh1(fl/+);Kras(LSL-G12D/+);Trp53(fl/fl);Rosa26(LSL-YFP/LSL-YFP)). We then performed a microarray on this stomach tissue from four independent mice of each genotype. Differentially expressed genes were identified and gene set overlap analysis was used to identify pathways enriched in one model over the other.

Project description:The experiment is a study of the effects of signal strength in the Ras pathway. In particular, we studied a gain-of-function mutant of Kras, KrasG12D. We generated these mutant mice and performed microarray analyses on RNA extracted from whole skin, comparing KrasG12D mice to wild-type mice, with three replicates of each.

Project description:Oncogenic STAT3 functions are known in various malignancies. We found that STAT3 plays an unexpected tumor suppressive role in KRAS-mutant non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC). In mice, tissue-specific inactivation of Stat3 resulted in increased Kras (G12D)-driven NSCLC initiation and malignant progression leading to markedly reduced survival. Clinically, low STAT3 expression levels correlate with poor survival in human lung adenocarcinoma patients with smoking history. Consistently, KRAS-mutant lung tumors showed reduced STAT3 levels. Mechanistically, we show that STAT3 controls NFκB-induced IL-8-expression by sequestering NFκB in the cytoplasm while IL-8 in turn regulates myeloid tumor infiltration and tumor vascularization thereby promoting tumor progression. These results identify a novel STAT3-NFκB-IL-8 axis in KRAS-mutant NSCLC with therapeutic and prognostic relevance WT: Control lung; KRAS: Lung tumors expressing KRAS G12D; KRAS STAT3 KO: Lung tumors expressing KRAS G12D- STAT3 deficient; tumors of four mice pooled per sample

Project description:MicroRNAs are a class of short ~22 nucleotide RNAs predicted to regulate nearly half of all protein-coding genes, including many involved in basal cellular processes and organismal development. Although both increases and decreases in the levels of specific miRNAs have been shown to promote tumor development, a global reduction in miRNAs is commonly observed in various human tumors. However, complete loss has not been documented, suggesting an essential function for miRNAs in tumorigenesis. Here we present the finding that transformed or immortalized Dicer-null somatic cells can be isolated readily in vitro, maintain the characteristics of Dicer-expressing controls and remain stably proliferative. Furthermore, Dicer-null cells from a sarcoma cell line, though depleted of miRNAs, are competent for tumor formation. Hence, miRNA levels in cancer may be maintained in vivo by a complex stabilizing selection in the intratumoral environment. Small RNAs from tumor cell lines (murine sarcoma KrasG12D, p53 -/-) with and without Dicer (Dicer f/-, Dicer -/-) were analyzed.

Project description:We utilized non-transformed, human pancreatic ductal epithelial (HPDE) cells, previously engineered with the E6 and E7 proteins of the HPV16 virus to emulate loss of p53 and inactivation of the Rb pathway, respectively. Given the frequent activation of KRAS (>90% PDAC tumors) and its early role in pancreatic neoplasia, we sought to engineer HPDE cells containing KRASG12D to provide the appropriate context in which to screen for novel drivers that might represent KRAS effectors. The KRAS-induced transcription analysis was conducted using RNAs extracted from HPDE cells transduced with either control, wild-type KRAS or KRASG12D(pInducer) with or without DOX (100ng/ml) for 72 h, followed by hybridization of labeled cDNA onto Agilent arrays (Agilent G3 Human GE 8x60K) by the Baylor College of Medicine Genome Profiling Core Facility. multi-group comparison
