Genes Relevant to Tissue Response to Cancer Therapy Display Diurnal Variation in mRNA Expression in Human Oral Mucosa.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To address a critical gap for application of cancer chronotherapy of when would be the best time(s) for treating an individual cancer patient, we conducted a pilot study to characterize diurnal variations of gene expression in oral mucosal tissue, which is vulnerable to damage from cancer therapies.

Methods

We conducted RNA-seq assay on individual oral mucosal samples collected from 11 healthy volunteers every 4 hours (6 time points). Using a cosine-based method, we estimated the individual and average values of peak-time and amplitude for each gene. Correlations between gene expression peak-times and age was examined, adjusting for individual's sleep timing.

Results

Among candidate gene pathways that are relevant to treatment response, 7 of 16 genes (PER3, CIART, TEF, PER1, PER2, CRY2, ARNTL) involved in circadian regulation and 1 of 118 genes (WEE1) involved in cell cycle regulation achieved p-value ≤ 0.1 and relative amplitude>0.1. The average peak times were approximately 10:15 for PER3, CIART and TEF, 10:45 for PER1, 13:00 for WEE1, PER2 and CRY2, and 19:30 for ARNTL. Ranges in peak times across individuals differed by gene (e.g., 8 hours for PER1; 16.7 hours for WEE1). Older people had later peak times for PER1 (r = 0.77, p = 0.03) and PER3 (r = 0.69, p-value = 0.06).

Conclusion

In oral mucosa, expression of some genes relevant to treatment response displayed diurnal variation. These genes may be candidates for development of biomarkers for optimizing individual timing of cancer therapy using non-invasively collected oral mucosa.

Expression data from primary tissue, human oral mucosa (mRNA data)

Project description:The experiment aims to identify regulatory miRNA networks influencing mRNA profiles in oral lichen planus (OLP). RNA and miRNA were extracted simultaniously using miRVana (Ambion, Life Technologies). Sample and array processing was carried out according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Affymetrix raw data was processed using AGCC Expression Console 1.1 (Affymetrix), employing RMA normalization. Linking miRNA and mRNA was performed with a correlation analysis, while a false discovery rate was used to exclude false-positive correlations between miRNAs and their predicted targets.

Oral mucosa tissue gene expression profiling before, during, and after radiation therapy for tonsil squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Radiation-therapy (RT) induces mucositis, a clinically challenging condition with limited prophylactic interventions and no predictive tests. In this pilot study, we applied global gene-expression analysis on serial human oral mucosa tissue and blood cells from patients with tonsil squamous cell cancer (TSCC) to identify genes involved in mucositis pathogenesis. METHODS AND FINDINGS:Eight patients with TSCC each provided consecutive buccal biopsies and blood cells before, after 7 days of RT treatment, and 20 days following RT. We monitored clinical mucositis and performed gene-expression analysis on tissue samples. We obtained control tissue from nine healthy individuals. After RT, expression was upregulated in apoptosis inducer and inhibitor genes, EDA2R and MDM2, and in POLH, a DNA-repair polymerase. Expression was downregulated in six members of the histone cluster family, e.g., HIST1H3B. Gene expression related to proliferation and differentiation was altered, including MKI67 (downregulated), which encodes the Ki-67-proliferation marker, and KRT16 (upregulated), which encodes keratin16. These alterations were not associated with the clinical mucositis grade. However, the expression of LY6G6C, which encodes a surface immunoregulatory protein, was upregulated before treatment in three cases of clinical none/mild mucositis, but not in four cases of ulcerative mucositis. CONCLUSION:RT caused molecular changes related to apoptosis, DNA-damage, DNA-repair, and proliferation without a correlation to the severity of clinical mucositis. LY6G6C may be a potential protective biomarker for ulcerative mucositis. Based on these results, our study model of consecutive human biopsies will be useful in designing a prospective clinical validation trial to characterize molecular mucositis and identify predictive biomarkers.

Clock genes in human oral mucosa

Project description:Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations of multiple biological processes driven by endogenous clocks. Imbalance of these rhythms has been associated with cancerogenesis in humans. To further elucidate the role of the circadian clock in cellular growth control, tumor suppression and cancer treatment, a standard of circadian gene regulations in healthy men is essential. Comparative microarray analyses were conducted investigating the relative mRNA expression of clock genes throughout a 24-hour period in biopsies obtained from oral mucosa of eight healthy diurnally active male study participants. A custom-designed oligo-based microarray which in addition to oncogenes and inflammatory genes contains probes for 20 clock genes and 70 clock-associated genes in human was used. Keywords: Human gene expression study

Phenotype and Tissue Residency of Lymphocytes in the Murine Oral Mucosa.

Project description:The oral mucosa is a critical barrier tissue that harbors a series of distinct immune cell subsets. Immune surveillance in the oral mucosa is important for both local and systemic immunity because the oral cavity is a heavily utilized route of pathogen entry and also serves as site of pathogen propagation. Nonetheless, composition and phenotype of the lymphocyte pool in the oral mucosa have remained poorly characterized. Utilizing a newly established protocol for mucosal immune cell isolation, here, we report that the oral mucosa features a unique cellular composition of immune cells, which differed not only from secondary lymphoid organs but also from mucosal tissues in the gut and lung. We observed profound accumulation of CD11b+Ly6Clo monocytes in the oral mucosa that were maintained independently of T- and B-lymphocytes. Unlike the gut mucosa, the oral mucosa neither contained CD8αα T cells nor was it enriched for CD103+CD69+ tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells. In fact, a major fraction of T cells circulated and trafficked through the mucosa as revealed by treatment with the S1P1 receptor antagonist, FTY720, a potent inhibitor of lymphocyte migration. Collectively, these results provide a comprehensive picture of immune cells in the oral mucosa as an active site of lymphocyte recruitment and surveillance.
