Expression of NADPH oxidase homologues and accessory genes in human cancer cell lines, tumours and adjacent normal tissues.

ABSTRACT: The family of NADPH oxidase (NOX) genes produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) pivotal for both cell signalling and host defense. To investigate whether NOX and NOX accessory gene expression might be a factor common to specific human tumour types, this study measured the expression levels of NOX genes 1-5, dual oxidase 1 and 2, as well as those of NOX accessory genes NoxO1, NoxA1, p47(phox), p67(phox) and p22(phox) in human cancer cell lines and in tumour and adjacent normal tissue pairs by quantitative, real-time RT-PCR. The results demonstrate tumour-specific patterns of NOX gene expression that will inform further studies of the role of NOX activity in tumour cell invasion, growth factor response and proliferative potential.

Divergent viral presentation among human tumors and adjacent normal tissues.

Project description:We applied a newly developed bioinformatics system called VirusScan to investigate the viral basis of 6,813 human tumors and 559 adjacent normal samples across 23 cancer types and identified 505 virus positive samples with distinctive, organ system- and cancer type-specific distributions. We found that herpes viruses (e.g., subtypes HHV4, HHV5, and HHV6) that are highly prevalent across cancers of the digestive tract showed significantly higher abundances in tumor versus adjacent normal samples, supporting their association with these cancers. We also found three HPV16-positive samples in brain lower grade glioma (LGG). Further, recurrent HBV integration at the KMT2B locus is present in three liver tumors, but absent in their matched adjacent normal samples, indicating that viral integration induced host driver genetic alterations are required on top of viral oncogene expression for initiation and progression of liver hepatocellular carcinoma. Notably, viral integrations were found in many genes, including novel recurrent HPV integrations at PTPN13 in cervical cancer. Finally, we observed a set of HHV4 and HBV variants strongly associated with ethnic groups, likely due to viral sequence evolution under environmental influences. These findings provide important new insights into viral roles of tumor initiation and progression and potential new therapeutic targets.

Transcriptome analysis discloses dysregulated genes in normal appearing tumor-adjacent thyroid tissues from patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Project description:Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. The molecular characteristics of histologically normal appearing tissue adjacent to the tumor (NAT) from PTC patients are not well characterized. The aim of this study was to characterize the global gene expression profile of NAT and compare it with those of normal and tumor thyroid tissues. We performed total RNA sequencing with fresh frozen thyroid tissues from a cohort of three categories of samples including NAT, normal thyroid (N), and PTC tumor (T). Transcriptome analysis shows that NAT presents a unique gene expression profile, which was not associated with sex or the presence of lymphocytic thyroiditis. Among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of NAT vs N, 256 coding genes and 5 noncoding genes have been reported as cancer genes involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and/or tumorigenesis. Bioinformatics analysis with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software revealed that "Cancer, Organismal Injury and Abnormalities, Cellular Response to Therapeutics, and Cellular Movement" were major dysregulated pathways in the NAT tissues. This study provides improved insight into the complexity of gene expression changes in the thyroid glands of patients with PTC.

Expression of underglycosylated MUC1 antigen in cancerous and adjacent normal breast tissues.

Project description:IntroductionMucin 1 antigen (MUC1) is a high-molecular-weight transmembrane glycoprotein with an aberrant expression profile in various malignancies, including breast cancer. Its increased overexpression and underglycosylation in breast cancer is associated with tumor invasiveness and metastatic potential. In this study, we took the next step toward establishing MUC1 as a potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic target by investigating its expression and posttranslational modification (glycosylation/sialylation).Patients and methodsIn these studies we used a breast cancer tissue microarray (TMA) and fresh-frozen multistage breast cancer tissues. We analyzed in detail the expression of normal and underglycosylated/sialated MUC1 by immunohistochemical techniques, real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and various analytic techniques.ResultsWe found that changes in cellular localization as well as in upregulation and/or underglycosylation of MUC1 were associated with higher tumor grade. A key finding in this study was that underglycosylated MUC1 (uMUC1) overexpression and sialation were observed in tissues adjacent to tumor but identified as normal on pathology reports.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that uMUC1 can indeed be used as an early diagnostic marker and provide additional insights into breast cancer management.

Comparative proteome analysis of breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissues in human.

Project description:Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS), incorporated with online database searching, were performed to investigate differential proteins of breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissues. Considering that serum albumin is abundantly presented in normal control samples, 15 differential spots detected in 11 out of 12 (91.7%) breast cancer samples were identified by online SIENA-2DPAGE database searching and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS analysis. The results indicate that pathological changes of breast cancer are concerned with augmentation of substance metabolism, promotion of proteolytic activity, decline of activity of some inhibitors of enzymes, and so on. Some important proteins involved in the pathological process of breast cancer with changed expression may be useful biomarkers, such as alpha-1-antitrypsin, EF-1-beta, cathepsin D, TCTP, SMT3A, RPS12, and PSMA1, among which SMT3A, RPS12, and PSMA1 were first reported for breast cancer in this study.

Proteomic and genomic signatures of repeat instability in cancer and adjacent normal tissues.

Project description:Repetitive sequences are hotspots of evolution at multiple levels. However, due to difficulties involved in their assembly and analysis, the role of repeats in tumor evolution is poorly understood. We developed a rigorous motif-based methodology to quantify variations in the repeat content, beyond microsatellites, in proteomes and genomes directly from proteomic and genomic raw data. This method was applied to a wide range of tumors and normal tissues. We identify high similarity between repeat instability patterns in tumors and their patient-matched adjacent normal tissues. Nonetheless, tumor-specific signatures both in protein expression and in the genome strongly correlate with cancer progression and robustly predict the tumorigenic state. In a patient, the hierarchy of genomic repeat instability signatures accurately reconstructs tumor evolution, with primary tumors differentiated from metastases. We observe an inverse relationship between repeat instability and point mutation load within and across patients independent of other somatic aberrations. Thus, repeat instability is a distinct, transient, and compensatory adaptive mechanism in tumor evolution and a potential signal for early detection.

The composition and functional profile of the microbial communities in human gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues.

Project description:(.) is known to be a major risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. In recent years, increasing attention is being paid to the role of non-. (NHPHs) in this disease and the role of microorganisms in local tumor microenvironment. In this study, we aimed to compare the microbial community composition and the predicted functional profile in paired cancer and adjacent normal tissues of gastric cancer patients. Cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 10 patients with gastric cancer under endoscopy, and genomic DNA was extracted. The V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified by PCR and paired-end sequencing was performed on the Illumina MiSeq System. The data was analyzed using QIIME 2 software. The results showed that microbial richness and diversity as well as genetic diversity are significantly lower in cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. At the phylum level, the dominant taxa are , , , and in both groups. At the genus level, some taxa, such as and, are significantly enriched in cancer tissues, while other taxa, such as , are enriched in adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, those taxa enriched in cancer tissues are associated with the synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies. In conclusion, there is a significant difference in the composition of the mucosa-related microbial communities between cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues in patients with gastric cancer.

Analysis of normal-tumour tissue interaction in tumours: prediction of prostate cancer features from the molecular profile of adjacent normal cells.

Project description:Statistical modelling, in combination with genome-wide expression profiling techniques, has demonstrated that the molecular state of the tumour is sufficient to infer its pathological state. These studies have been extremely important in diagnostics and have contributed to improving our understanding of tumour biology. However, their importance in in-depth understanding of cancer patho-physiology may be limited since they do not explicitly take into consideration the fundamental role of the tissue microenvironment in specifying tumour physiology. Because of the importance of normal cells in shaping the tissue microenvironment we formulate the hypothesis that molecular components of the profile of normal epithelial cells adjacent the tumour are predictive of tumour physiology. We addressed this hypothesis by developing statistical models that link gene expression profiles representing the molecular state of adjacent normal epithelial cells to tumour features in prostate cancer. Furthermore, network analysis showed that predictive genes are linked to the activity of important secreted factors, which have the potential to influence tumor biology, such as IL1, IGF1, PDGF BB, AGT, and TGF?.

Hub genes and pathways in gastric cancer: A comparison between studies that used normal tissues adjacent to the tumour and studies that used healthy tissues as calibrator.

Project description:Several bioinformatics studies have been performed on high-throughput expression data to determine the cellular pathways and hub genes affected by Gastric cancer (GC). However, these studies differ in using a healthy tissue or normal tissue adjacent to the tumour (NAT) as calibrator tissues. This study was designed to find how using healthy or NAT tissues as calibrator tissues could affect pathway enrichment data and hub genes in GC. Two gene expression datasets with NAT tissues (GSE79973 and GSE118916) and one dataset with healthy tissues (GSE54129) were downloaded and processed by the limma package to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were performed by the Enrichr online tool. Protein-protein interaction network construction, module analysis, and hub genes selection were performed by Cytoscape software, Molecular Complex Detection plugin, and cytoHubba plugin, respectively. The gene expression profiling interactive analysis web server was used to analyse RNA sequencing expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program. The Kaplan-Meier plotter was used to perform survival analysis. Our results showed that some KEGG and GO pathways were shared between studies with NAT and the study with healthy tissues. However, some terms, especially inflammation-related terms, were missed when NAT tissues were used as calibrator tissues. Also, only FN1 and COL1A1 are common hub genes between DEGs of the studies with NAT and healthy tissues. Since hub genes are usually extracted and suggested as candidate targets for GC diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment, selecting healthy or NAT tissues may affect the hub genes selection.

Gastric Normal Adjacent Mucosa Versus Healthy and Cancer Tissues: Distinctive Transcriptomic Profiles and Biological Features.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Molecular heterogeneity is a major determinant for the clinical outcomes and an exhaustive tumor classification is currently missing. Histologically normal tissue adjacent to the tumor (NAT) is commonly used as a control in cancer studies, nevertheless a recently published paper described the unique characteristics of the NAT in several tumor types. Little is known about the global gene expression profile of gastric NAT (gNAT) which could be an effective tool for a more realistic definition of GC molecular signature. Here, we integrated data of 512 samples from the Genotype-Tissue Expression project (GETx) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to analyze the transcriptome of healthy gastric tissues, gNAT, and GC samples. We validated TCGA-GETx data mining through inHouse gNAT and GC expression dataset. Differential gene expression together with pathway enrichment analyses, indeed, led to different results when using the gNAT or the healthy tissue as control. Based on our analyses, gNAT showed a peculiar gene signature and biological features, like the estrogen receptor pathways activation, suggesting a molecular behavior partially different from both healthy and GC tissues. Therefore, using gNAT as healthy control tissue in the characterization of tumor associated biological processes and pathways could lead to suboptimal results.

In silico sequence analysis reveals new characteristics of fungal NADPH oxidase genes.

Project description:NADPH oxidases (Noxes), transmembrane proteins found in most eukaryotic species, generate reactive oxygen species and are thereby involved in essential biological processes. However, the fact that genes encoding ferric reductases and ferric-chelate reductases share high sequence similarities and domains with Nox genes represents a challenge for bioinformatic approaches used to identify Nox-encoding genes. Further, most studies on fungal Nox genes have focused mainly on functionality, rather than sequence properties, and consequently clear differentiation among the various Nox isoforms has not been achieved. We conducted an extensive sequence analysis to identify putative Nox genes among 34 eukaryotes, including 28 fungal genomes and one Oomycota genome. Analyses were performed with respect to phylogeny, transmembrane helices, di-histidine distance and glycosylation. Our analyses indicate that the sequence properties of fungal Nox genes are different from those of human and plant Nox genes, thus providing novel insight that will enable more accurate identification and characterization of fungal Nox genes.
