Transcription profiling by array of human primary breast tumor tissue

ABSTRACT: Brain metastasis is one of the most feared complications of cancer and the most common intracranial malignancy in adults. Its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. From breast cancer patients with metastatic disease we isolated cell populations that aggressively colonize the brain. Transcriptomic analysis of these cells yielded overlapping gene sets whose expression is selectively associated with brain metastasis. The expression of seventeen of these genes in primary breast tumors is associated with brain relapse in breast cancer patients. Some of these genes are also associated with metastasis to lung but not to liver, bone or lymph nodes, providing a molecular basis for the long-observed link between brain and lung metastasis. Among the functionally validated brain metastasis genes, the cyclooxigenase COX-2, the EGFR ligand HB-EGF, and the brain-specific 2-6 sialyltransferase ST6GALNAC5 mediate cancer cell passage through the blood-brain barrier. Other brain metastasis genes encode inflammatory factors and brain-specific proteolytic regulators, suggesting a multifaceted program for breast cancer colonization of the brain. Experiment Overall Design: 204 primary tumors from breast cancer patients with known site of relapse were studied, focussing on brain relapse versus other relapse. Identified genes were validated in this cohort.

Transcription profiling by array of human primary lung adenocarcinomas

Project description:"Gene transcription in a set of 49 human primary lung adenocarcinomas and 9 normal lung tissue samples was examined using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. We aimed to investigate differential gene expression between the two tissue types. A total of 3,442 genes, called the set MAD, were found to be either up- or down-regulated by at least two fold between the two phenotypes. Genes assigned to a particular gene ontology term were found, in many cases, to be significantly unevenly distributed between the genes in and outside MAD. Terms that were overrepresented in MAD included functions directly implicated in cancer cell metabolism. Based on their functional roles and expression profiles, genes in MAD were grouped into likely co-regulated gene sets."

Transcription profiling by array of human breast cancer metastases

Project description:Comparisons among breast cancer metastases at different organs revealed distinct microenvironments as characterized by cytokine content. Such microenvironment distinction might be important to dictate how the cancer cells adapt to survival before they successfully colonize. Experiment Overall Design: 58 breast cancer metastases from different organs were profiled and compared by the expression level of over 400 cytokines. 29 samples were incuded in this series. 29 others as well as 7 in the present series were profiled on U133A platforms and included in series GSE14018.

Transcription profiling by array of human carcinomas of unknown primary

Project description:Carcinomas of unknown primary (CUP) are characterized by early metastatic dissemination in the absence of a detectable primary tumor. This disease accounts for about 3% of all malignant tumors. Most CUPs are poorly responsive to chemotherapy and have a rapid fatal evolution. The biological mechanisms supporting metastatic growth in various sites combined with regression or absence of growth in the primary site are still poorly understood. The aim of this project was to investigate characteristics of gene expression profile specific of CUPs with special attention to genes overexpressed or silenced in CUPs but not in classical secondary metastases. Three series of experiments were performed in 2006 and 2007. In all experiments, the mRNA used as a reference was obtained from diploid untransformed human fibroblasts (MRC5). The CUP samples were 2 xenografted CUP tumors (Capi1 and Capi3) and 4 CUP biopsies including a squamous carcinoma (Aud) and 3 adenocarcinomas (Gal, Pro, Gag). Samples representative of secondary metastases were xenografted tumors derived from metastases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (C17), lung adenocarcinoma (IC14) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (xenografted Capan 1 cell line) and one biopsy from a breast carcinoma (Vuc).

Transcription profiling of human tumor-associated stroma derived from primary clinical breast cancer samples

Project description:Tumor-associated breast stroma was laser-capture microdissected from IDC breast cancer cases. The goal of the study was to characterize the heterogeneity of breast tumor-assocaited stroma and identify gene expression signatures predictive of clinical outcome. Experiment Overall Design: Common reference design, 53 samples, with dye-swap replicates. Some samples replicated three or four times, a total of 111 arrays.

Transcription profiling by array of 17 human breast cancer samples

Project description:Cancer evolves dynamically, as clonal expansions supersede or overlap one another, driven by shifting selective pressures, mutational processes and disrupted cancer genes. These processes mark the genome, such that a cancer's life history is encrypted in the timing, ploidy, clonality and patterns of somatic mutation. We developed bioinformatic algorithms to decipher this narrative, and applied them to 21 breast cancer genomes. We find that mutational processes evolve across the lifespan of a breast tumor, with cancer-specific signatures of point mutations and chromosomal instability often emerging late but contributing extensive genetic variation. Subclonal diversification is prominent, providing insight into the dynamics of clonal expansion in breast cancer. Most point mutations are found in just a fraction of tumor cells, together with frequent variegation in chromosomal copy number. Every tumor studied here has a dominant subclonal lineage, representing more than 50% of tumor cells. Minimal expansion of these subclones occurs until many hundreds to thousands of mutations have accumulated, implying the existence of long-lived, quiescent lineages of cells that are capable of substantial proliferation upon acquisition of enabling genomic changes. Expansion of the dominant subclone to an appreciable mass may therefore represent the final rate-limiting step in a breast cancer's development, triggering diagnosis.
