Sequential genetic change at the TP53 and chemokine receptor CXCR4 locus during transformation of human ovarian surface epithelium.

ABSTRACT: Early genetic events in the development of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) may define the molecular basis of the profound structural and numerical instability of chromosomes in this disease. To discover candidate genetic changes we sequentially passaged cells from a karyotypically normal hTERT immortalised human ovarian surface epithelial line (IOSE25) resulting in the spontaneous formation of colonies in soft agar. Cell lines transformed ovarian surface epithelium 1 and 4 (TOSE 1 and 4) established from these colonies had an abnormal karyotype and altered morphology, but were not tumourigenic in immunodeficient mice. TOSE cells showed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at TP53, increased nuclear p53 immunoreactivity and altered expression profile of p53 target genes. The parental IOSE25 cells contained a missense, heterozygous R175H mutation in TP53, whereas TOSE cells had LOH at the TP53 locus with a new R273H mutation at the previous wild-type TP53 allele. Cytogenetic and array CGH analysis of TOSE cells also revealed a focal genomic amplification of CXCR4, a chemokine receptor commonly expressed by HGSOC cells. TOSE cells had increased functional CXCR4 protein and its abrogation reduced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression, as well as colony size and number. The CXCR4 ligand, CXCL12, was epigenetically silenced in TOSE cells and its forced expression increased TOSE colony size. TOSE cells had other cytogenetic changes typical of those seen in HGSOC ovarian cancer cell lines and biopsies. In addition, enrichment of CXCR4 pathway in expression profiles from HGSOC correlated with enrichment of a mutated TP53 gene expression signature and of EGFR pathway genes. Our data suggest that mutations in TP53 and amplification of the CXCR4 gene locus may be early events in the development of HGSOC, and associated with chromosomal instability.

Project description:Transcriptome profiling using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays was performed on sorted populations of Lgr5-expressing mouse ovarian surface epithelium. The ovary surface epithelium (OSE) undergoes ovulatory tear-and-remodelling throughout life. Resident stem cells drive such tissue homeostasis in many adult epithelia, but their existence in the ovary has yet to be definitively proven. Lgr5 marks stem cells in multiple epithelia. Here we use reporter mice and Single Molecule Florescent-in-Situ-Hybridization (FISH) to document candidate Lgr5+ stem cells within the mouse ovary and associated structures. Lgr5 is broadly expressed during ovary organogenesis, but becomes limited to the OSE in early neonate life. In adults, Lgr5 expression is predominantly restricted to proliferative regions of the OSE and fimbria- mesovarian junction. Using conditional in vivo lineage tracing we identify embryonic and early neonate Lgr5+ populations as stem/progenitor cells contributing to the development of adult OSE and granulosa cell lineages, as well as the epithelia of the mesovarian and oviduct including its distal opening, fimbria. Long-term lineage tracing reveals that adult OSE-resident Lgr5+ populations contribute to epithelial homeostasis and OSE regenerative repair in vivo. Thus, Lgr5 is a marker of stem/progenitor cells of the ovary and tubal epithelia. Ovarian surface epithelium from pooled batches of Lgr5-eGFP-CreERT2 mice (n=8, per array) were sorted for cells expressing either high or low EGFP. Total RNA from three technical replicates per sorted population (Lgr5-high or Lgr5-low) was extracted with the RNeasy Micro Kit (QIAGEN), DNaseI-treated, and amplified with the Ovation Pico WTA V2 (NuGEN Technologies). Single-stranded cDNA amplification products were purified using QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (QIAGEN). cDNA was biotinylated using the Encore Biotin Module (NuGEN Technologies). Biotiylated cDNA was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genechip ST 2.0 expression arrays.
