Project description:BACKGROUND:A series of epidemiological studies have attempted to evaluate the impact of 309T>G polymorphism in MDM2 gene frequently identified as a susceptibility loci for various cancers on malignant sarcomas, however the reported conclusions remain inconsistent and elusive. We pooled all usable data sets in order to systematically assess the association between 309T>G polymorphism and sarcoma risk. METHODS:To identify as many informative studies with complete data as possible, we searched a number of databases (PubMed, EBSCO, BIOSIS, the Cochrane Library, ISI Web of Science, Wiley Online Library and Embase). Inclusion criteria were defined to select the eligible studies. The fixed effects meta-analysis was properly used to calculate the pooled ORs and 95% CIs. MAJOR FINDINGS:We eventually identified six studies evaluating the association of sarcoma risk with 309T>G polymorphism. People with 309-GG were found to have 43% greater risk of sarcoma relative to people with 309-TT (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.01~2.03; Pheterogeneity, 0.45). In the G vs. T genetic model, the risk reduced to 19% (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01~1.40; Pheterogeneity, 0.50). Statistical data showed no significant heterogeneity or publication bias in the meta-analysis. CONCLUSION:These data demonstrate that 309T>G polymorphism located within the MDM2 gene may act as modifier factor for sarcomas. A weakness of this analysis is that the findings cannot be explainable when the subtypes are separated and additional larger investigations are needed to identify the role of 309T>G polymorphism in each form of sarcoma.

Project description:Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is a negative regulator of p53. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs2279744: c.309T>G) in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene has been shown to result in higher levels of MDM2 RNA and protein. Regarding the contribution of c.309T>G in the MDM2 gene to the lung cancer risk, previous studies are conflicting. In order to evaluate the association between c.309T>G and the lung cancer risk, a case-control study was performed. The MDM2 genotypes were determined in 762 lung cancer patients and in 700 cancer-free control subjects using the Smart Amplification Process. Statistical adjustment was performed for gender, age and pack-years of smoking. The distributions of c.309T>G (T/T, T/G, G/G) were 20.1, 49.7, 30.2% in the case group and 21.7, 47.9, 30.4% in the healthy-control group. There were no overall associations between the MDM2 genotypes and the risk of lung cancer [T/G genotype: Adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.88-1.93; and G/G genotype: AOR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.78-1.80]. The subgroup analysis of gender, histology, smoking status and epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status also indicated that there was no association with lung cancer. Additionally, the genotypes did not have an effect on the age at the time of diagnosis of lung cancer (P=0.25). In conclusion, the G allele frequency in the lung cancer cases was 0.551, which was similar to other studies. The results of the present study suggest that the c.309T>G is not significantly associated with lung cancer.

Project description:Background and Purpose- The E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 (murine double minute 2) is the main negative regulator of the p53 protein-a key player in neuronal apoptosis after ischemia. A functional single-nucleotide polymorphism in the human MDM2 gene promoter (rs2279744) regulates MDM2 protein expression. We investigated whether the MDM2 SNP309, by controlling p53-mediated apoptosis, determines functional outcome after stroke. Methods- Primary cortical neurons were subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation. Mice were subjected to ischemic (transient middle cerebral artery occlusion) or hemorrhagic (collagenase injection) stroke models. Protein and mRNA levels of MDM2 and p53 were measured in both neuronal and brain extracts. The interaction of MDM2 with p53 was disrupted by neuronal treatment with nutlin-3a. siRNA was used to knockdown MDM2 expression. We analyzed the link between the MDM2 SNP309 and functional outcome, measured by the modified Rankin Scale scores, in 2 independent hospital-based stroke cohorts: ischemic stroke cohort (408 patients) and intracerebral hemorrhage cohort (128 patients). Results- Experimental stroke and oxygen and glucose deprivation induced the expression of MDM2 in the brain and neurons, respectively. Moreover, oxygen and glucose deprivation promoted MDM2 binding with p53 in neurons. Disruption of the MDM2-p53 interaction with nutlin-3a, or MDM2 knockdown by siRNA, triggered p53 accumulation, which increased neuronal susceptibility to oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced apoptosis. Finally, we showed that patients harboring the G allele in the MDM2 promoter had higher MDM2 protein levels and showed better functional outcome after stroke than those harboring the T/T genotype. The T/T genotype was also associated with large infarct volume in ischemic stroke and increased lesion volume in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Conclusions- Our results reveal a novel role for the MDM2-p53 interaction in neuronal apoptosis after ischemia and show that the MDM2 SNP309 determines the functional outcome of patients after stroke.

Project description:Cancer stem cell (CSC) properties have been recently proposed to explain tumor carcinogenesis and multidrug resistance in several human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study examined the protein expression of three CSC-associated markers, namely ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) and cluster of differentiation (CD) 44, by immunohistochemistry in 194 NSCLC patients who underwent complete resection of NSCLC tumors. The association between the expression of these proteins and patient prognosis was evaluated to clarify the prognostic significance of CSC-associated markers in NSCLC patients. Positive staining for ABCB1 demonstrated a trend toward worse survival compared with negative staining in stage I-III NSCLC. Negative staining for ALDH1 or CD44 exhibited a trend toward worse survival compared with positive staining in stage I-III NSCLC. It was observed that patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) showing positivity for ABCB1 expression had significantly poorer survival than those with negative ABCB1 staining (P=0.03). Furthermore, stage I ADC patients with wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) who exhibited positive staining for ABCB1 had significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS) compared with patients with negative staining for ABCB1 (P<0.01). Analyses by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models revealed that ABCB1-positive staining was significantly associated with DFS and was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 3.49; P<0.05) in these patients. These results suggest that ABCB1 protein expression is useful for predicting prognosis and selecting patients for post-operative therapy in stage I lung ADC patients, particularly those harboring wild-type EGFR.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, there have been a number of studies on the association between MDM2 (Murine Double Minute 2) 309 polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk. However, the results of previous reports remain controversial and ambiguous. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to explore more precisely the association between MDM2 309 polymorphism and the risk of ovarian cancer.MethodsA meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between MDM2 309T>G polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk. Odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for statistical analysis.ResultsOur publication search identified a total of 6 studies with 1534 cases and 2211 controls. No significant association was found between MDM2 309T>G polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk in total population analysis. In the subgroup meta-analysis by ethnicity, a negative association was shown in Asian subgroup (G vs. T OR?=?0.774, 95% CI?=?0.628-0.955, P?=?0.017, P(het)?=?0.327; GG vs. TT: OR?=?0.601, 95% CI?=?0.395-0.914, P?=?0.017, P(het)?=?0.417; dominant model TG+GG vs. TT: OR?=?0.661, 95% CI?=?0.468-0.934, P?=?0.019, P(het)?=?0.880), and no significant association in any genetic models among Caucasians was observed.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis provides evidence for the association between MDM2 309 polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk, supporting the hypothesis that MDM2 SNP309 G allele acts as an important ovarian cancer protective factor in Asians but not in Caucasians.

Project description:BackgroundGlucosamine-Phosphate N-Acetyltransferase 1 (GNPNAT1) is a critical enzyme in the biosynthesis of uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine. It has many important functions, such as protein binding, monosaccharide binding, and embryonic development and growth. However, the role of GNPNAT1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, we explored the expression pattern and prognostic value of GNPNAT1 in LUAD across TCGA and GEO databases and assessed its independent prognostic value via Cox analysis. LinkedOmics and GEPIA2 were applied to investigate coexpression and functional networks associated with GNPNAT1. The TIMER web tool was deployed to assess the correlation between GNPNAT1 and the main six types of tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Besides, the correlations between GNPNAT1 and the LUAD common genetic mutations, TMB, and immune signatures were examined.ResultsGNPNAT1 was validated upregulated in tumor tissues in TCGA-LUAD and GEO cohorts. Moreover, in both TCGA and GEO cohorts, high GNPNAT1 expression was found to be associated with poor overall survival. Cox analysis showed that high GNPNAT1 expression was an independent risk factor for LUAD. Functional network analysis suggested that GNPNAT1 regulates cell cycle, ribosome, proteasome, RNA transport, and spliceosome signaling through pathways involving multiple cancer-related kinases and E2F family. In addition, GNPNAT1 correlated with infiltrating levels of B cells, CD4+ T cells, and dendritic cells. B cells and dendritic cells could predict the outcome of LUAD, and B cells and CD4+ T cells were significant independent risk factors. The TMB and mutations of KRAS, EGFR, STK11, and TP53 were correlated with GNPNAT1. At last, the correlation analysis showed GNPNAT1 correlated with most of the immune signatures we performed.ConclusionOur findings showed that GNPNAT1 was correlated to the prognosis and immune infiltration of LUAD. In particular, the tight relationship between GNPNAT1 and B cell marker genes may be the epicenter of the immune response and one of the key factors affecting the prognosis. Our findings laid the foundation for further research on the immunomodulatory role of GNPNAT1 in LUAD.

Project description:We previously showed that different pathologic subtypes were associated with different prognostic values in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (AC). We hypothesize that differential gene expression profiles of different subtypes may be valuable factors for prognosis in stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. We performed microarray gene expression profiling on tumor tissues micro-dissected from patients with acinar and solid predominant subtypes of stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. These patients had undergone a lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection at the Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai, China in 2012. No patient had preoperative treatment. We performed the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis to look for gene expression signatures associated with tumor subtypes. The histologic subtypes of all patients were classified according to the 2015 WHO lung Adenocarcinoma classification. We found that patients with the solid predominant subtype are enriched for genes involved in RNA polymerase activity as well as inactivation of the p53 pathway. Further, we identified a list of genes that may serve as prognostic markers for stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Validation in the TCGA database shows that these genes are correlated with survival, suggesting that they are novel prognostic factors for stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. In conclusion, we have uncovered novel prognostic factors for stage IA lung adenocarcinoma using gene expression profiling in combination with histopathology subtyping.

Project description:Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women, accounting for one-quarter of total cancer-related mortality globally. Lung adenocarcinoma is the major subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and accounts for around 40% of lung cancer cases. Lung adenocarcinoma is a highly heterogeneous disease and patients often display variable histopathological morphology, genetic alterations, and genomic aberrations. Recent advances in transcriptomic and genetic profiling of lung adenocarcinoma by investigators, including our group, has provided better stratification of this heterogeneous disease, which can facilitate devising better treatment strategies suitable for targeted patient cohorts. In a recent study we have shown gene expression profiling identified novel clustering of early stage LUAD patients and correlated with tumor invasiveness and patient survival. In this study, we focused on copy number alterations in LUAD patients. SNP array data identified amplification at chromosome 12q15 on MDM2 locus and protein overexpression in a subclass of LUAD patients with an invasive subtype of the disease. High copy number amplification and protein expression in this subclass correlated with poor overall survival. We hypothesized that MDM2 copy number and overexpression predict response to MDM2-targeted therapy. In vitro functional data on a panel of LUAD cells showed that MDM2-targeted therapy effectively suppresses cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in cells with MDM2 amplification/overexpression but not in cells without MDM2 amplification, independent of p53 status. To determine the key signaling mechanisms, we used RNA sequencing (RNA seq) to examine the response to therapy in MDM2-amplified/overexpressing p53 mutant and wild-type LUAD cells. RNA seq data shows that in MDM2-amplified/overexpression with p53 wild-type condition, the E2F → PEG10 → MMPs pathway is operative, while in p53 mutant genetic background, MDM2-targeted therapy abrogates tumor progression in LUAD cells by suppressing epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling. Our study provides a potentially clinically relevant strategy of selecting LUAD patients for MDM2-targeted therapy that may provide for increased response rates and, thus, better survival.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Stage I lung adenocarcinoma is usually not treated with adjuvant chemotherapy; however, around half of these patients do not survive 5 years. Therefore, a reliable prognostic biomarker for early stage patients would be critical to identify those most likely to benefit from early additional treatments. Several studies have searched for gene expression prognostic biomarkers for lung adenocarcinoma, but these have not yielded a widely accepted prognosticator. RESULTS:We analyzed gene expression from seven published lung adenocarcinoma cohorts for which we included only stage I and II patients who were not given adjuvant therapy. Seven genes consistently obtained statistical significance in Cox regression for overall survival. The combined signature has a weighted mean hazard ratio of 3.2 in all cohorts and 3.0 (C.I. 1.3-7.4, p?<?0.01) in an independent validation cohort and is strongly correlated with previously published signatures of chromosomal instability and cell cycle progression. CONCLUSIONS:The new prognostic signature, if validated prospectively, may enable better stratification and treatment of early stage lung cancer patients.

Project description:This article presents supplementary data for the research article by Yotsukura et al. entitled "Prognostic impact of cancer-associated active fibroblasts and invasive architectural patterns on early-stage lung adenocarcinoma" [1], which presented the postoperative prognosis for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma categorized according to histological findings. We included data of 1,032 resected cases of lung adenocarcinoma, which consisted of pathological stage IA invasive cancer and adenocarcinoma in situ resected at National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, between 2007 and 2012. A pathological review was performed to assess total tumor size, size of invasion, histological subtype, lymphovascular invasion, and presence of cancer-associated active fibroblast (CAF). Tumor recurrence and overall survival were retrospectively recorded. Of the included cases, 166 (16.1%), and 866 (83.9%) were adenocarcinoma in situ and pathological stage IA, respectively. Pathological stage IA adenocarcinoma was further classified based on the histologial subtype and the presence of CAF. This data set may be useful for analyzing the postoperative prognosis of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, in combination with detailed pathological findings including size of invasion, histological subtype, and presence of CAF.
