Project description:Epigenetic changes largely contribute to the regulation of gene expression in cancer cells. DNA methylation is part of the epigenetic gene regulation complex which is relevant for the pathogenesis of cancer. We performed a genome-wide search for methylated CpG islands in tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples of 101 stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by combining methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis using NimbleGen´s 385K Human CpG Island plus Promoter arrays. By testing for differences in methylation between tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissues, we identified 298 tumor-specifically methylated genes. From many of these genes epigenetic regulation was unknown so far. Gene Ontology analysis revealed an over-representation of genes involved in regulation of gene expression and cell adhesion. Expression of 182 of 298 genes was found to be upregulated after 5-aza-2´-deoxycytidine (Aza-dC) and/or trichostatin A (TSA) treatment of 3 NSCLC cell lines by Affymetrix microarray analysis. In addition, methylation of selected genes in primary NSCLCs and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples were analyzed by methylation-sensitive high resolution melting analysis (MS-HRM). Our results obtained by MS-HRM analysis confirmed our data obtained by MeDIP-chip analysis. Moreover, by comparing methylation results from MeDIP-chip analysis with clinico-pathological parameters of the patients we observed methylation of HOXA2 as potential parameter for shorter disease-free survival of NSCLC patients. In conclusion, using a genome-wide approach we identified a large number of tumor-specifically methylated genes in NSCLC patients. Our results stress the importance of DNA methylation for the pathogenesis of NSCLCs. Overall, samples of 3 untreated, with Aza-dC treated and with Aza-dC/TSA treated NSCLC cell lines were hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133_plus_2.0 microarrays (18 in total).

Project description:Using a multiorgan metastasis model of human NSCLC cells (ACC-LC319/bone2) in NK cell-depleted SCID mice, we attempted to identify genes involved in the organ-selective nature of lung cancer-metastasis process, especially bone metastasis. Genome-wide gene expression profile of 15 metastatic lesions from three organs (bone, lung and liver) in this mouse model revealed lot of genes that seemed to reflect the organ specificity of metastatic cells. Among bone-specifically-expressed genes, dozen of genes involved in cell adhesion, cytoskeleton/cell motility, extracellular matrix remodeling, and cell-cell signaling. The upregulation of 11 genes, some of them were either previously reported to be involved in metastatic characteristics, were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. The high ability for bone metastasis human lung adenocarcinoma cell line ACC-LC319/bone2 was established in our laboratory from the parental cell line ACC-LC319 (a kind gift from Dr T. Takahashi, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan). ACC-LC319 cells with low capacity of bone metastatic ability were selected in vivo for two cycles in bone metastasis mouse models. After two cycles of selection, the derivative cell line designated as ACC-LC319/bone2 showed increased bone metastatic ability compared to parental cell line (Otsuka S., Oncol Res 2009). In this multiorgan metastasis model, SCID mice were depleted NK cells, and two days later, these mice were intravenously injected 1x10^6 cells. The mice were followed up for clinical symptoms and signs of metastases, and were sacrificed on day 34 after tumor inoculation. Metastastic tissues in lung, liver and bone were collected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen then keep at -80C until cryosection. Laser microbeam microdissection was used to capture pure population of cancer cells in each organ as well as mouse normal tissues in corresponding organ (i.e. the surrounding normal tissues with no microscopic metastasis). Totally, there were 19 samples, including one sample for metastases in each organ (bone, lung and liver) in five mice (i.e., 15 samples); one for each normal mouse tissue (i.e.,three samples); and one for the in vitro cell line (ACC-LC319/bone 2). DNA microarray were performed using Agilent platform, and the gene expression profile of metastases in bone were compared with the gene expression profile of metastases in other two organs (lung, liver). Those genes whose expression in mouse normal tissues was above the cut off value were excluded. The expression of genes in the in vitro cells was used as the universal normalization for the in vivo genes expression.

Project description:PurposeLung cancer, of which 85% is non-small-cell (NSCLC), is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. We used genome-wide analysis of tumor tissue to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in tumors are prognostic factors in early-stage NSCLC.Patients and methodsOne hundred early-stage NSCLC patients from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) were used as a discovery set and 89 NSCLC patients collected by the National Institute of Occupational Health, Norway, were used as a validation set. DNA was extracted from flash-frozen lung tissue with at least 70% tumor cellularity. Genome-wide genotyping was done using the high-density SNP chip. Copy numbers were inferred using median smoothing after intensity normalization. Cox models were used to screen and validate significant SNPs associated with the overall survival.ResultsCopy number gains in chromosomes 3q, 5p, and 8q were observed in both MGH and Norwegian cohorts. The top 50 SNPs associated with overall survival in the MGH cohort (P < or = 2.5 x 10(-4)) were selected and examined using the Norwegian cohort. Five of the top 50 SNPs were validated in the Norwegian cohort with false discovery rate lower than 0.05 (P < .016) and all five were located in known genes: STK39, PCDH7, A2BP1, and EYA2. The numbers of risk alleles of the five SNPs showed a cumulative effect on overall survival (P(trend) = 3.80 x 10(-12) and 2.48 x 10(-7) for MGH and Norwegian cohorts, respectively).ConclusionFive SNPs were identified that may be prognostic of overall survival in early-stage NSCLC.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents a genomically unstable cancer type with extensive copy number aberrations. The relationship of gene copy number alterations and subsequent mRNA levels has only fragmentarily been described. The aim of this study was to conduct a genome-wide analysis of gene copy number gains and corresponding gene expression levels in a clinically well annotated NSCLC patient cohort (n = 190) and their association with survival. While more than half of all analyzed gene copy number-gene expression pairs showed statistically significant correlations (10,296 of 18,756 genes), high correlations, with a correlation coefficient >0.7, were obtained only in a subset of 301 genes (1.6%), including KRAS, EGFR and MDM2. Higher correlation coefficients were associated with higher copy number and expression levels. Strong correlations were frequently based on few tumors with high copy number gains and correspondingly increased mRNA expression. Among the highly correlating genes, GO groups associated with posttranslational protein modifications were particularly frequent, including ubiquitination and neddylation. In a meta-analysis including 1,779 patients we found that survival associated genes were overrepresented among highly correlating genes (61 of the 301 highly correlating genes, FDR adjusted p<0.05). Among them are the chaperone CCT2, the core complex protein NUP107 and the ubiquitination and neddylation associated protein CAND1. In conclusion, in a comprehensive analysis we described a distinct set of highly correlating genes. These genes were found to be overrepresented among survival-associated genes based on gene expression in a large collection of publicly available datasets.

Project description:Recently, increasing studies of miRNA expression profiling has confirmed that miRNA plays an essential role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, inconsistent or discrepant results exist in these researches. In present study, we performed an integrative analysis of 32 miRNA profiling studies compared the differentially expressed miRNA between NSCLC tissue and non-cancerous lung tissue to identify candidate miRNAs associated with NSCLC. 7 upregulated and 10 downregulated miRNAs were identified as miRNA integrated-signature using Robust Rank Aggregation (RRA) method. qRT-PCR demonstrated that miR-21-5p, miR-210, miR-205-5p, miR-182-5p, miR-31-5p, miR-183-5p and miR-96-5p were up-regulated, whereas miR-126-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-451a, miR-143-3p and miR-30d-5p were down-regulated more than 2 folds in the NSCLC, which was further validated in Tumor Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed that 9 miRNAs had good predictive performance (AUC > 0.9). Cox regression analysis revealed that miR-21-5p (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.616, 95% CI: 1.114-2.342, p = 0.011) and miR-30d-5p (HR: 0.578, 95% CI: 0.400-0.835, p = 0.003) were independent prognostic factors in NSCLC for overall survival. The accumulative effects of the two miRNAs on the prognosis of NSCLC were further estimated. The results showed that patients with two positive markers had a worse prognosis than those with one or none positive marker. In conclusion, this study contributes to the comprehension of the role of miRNAs in NSCLC and provides a basis for further clinical application.

Project description:BackgroundAbout 50% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients develop distant metastases following pulmonary resection. Currently, there are no reliable factors allowing for individual selection of high-risk patients for adjuvant systemic therapies.MethodsWe assessed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR microRNA (miRNA) expression in 273 stage I-IIIA NSCLC samples. Expression of 677 miRNAs was evaluated in fresh-frozen tumour samples in the training cohort of 50 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients who underwent curative surgery. Of those, 20 patients developed distant metastases, and 30 were free of recurrence for >4 years. In the second step, miRNAs with highest predictive value for distant relapse were re-evaluated in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded material in an independent group of 134 stage I-IIIA SCC patients. Additionally, the same miRNAs were investigated in 89 lung adenocarcinoma (AC) patients and in normal lung parenchyma (NLP).ResultsIn the training cohort of SCC, six miRNAs were differently expressed in the non-recurrent vs recurrent groups and correlated with distant recurrence-free survival, however none reached the level of significance after correction for multiple testing. Of these six miRNAs, miR-662, -192 and -192* were confirmed as prognostic in the independent SCC cohort. Expression of miR-128, -10b, -502-3p and -192 differed between SCC and AC, and miR-128 and -192 - between NLP and NSCLC.ConclusionsWe identified three new miRNAs predictive of distant relapse in operable SCC. Future miRNA studies should account for differences between NSCLC subtypes.

Project description:Purpose: The major aim of this study was to investigate the role of DNA methylation (referred to as methylation) on microRNA (miRNA) silencing in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Experimental Design: We performed microarray expression analyses of 856 miRNAs in NSCLC A549 cells before and after treatment with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2´-deoxycytidine (Aza-dC) and with a combination of Aza-dC and the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A. MiRNA methylation was determined in 11 NSCLC cell lines and in primary tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples of 101 stage I-III NSCLC patients. Results: By comparing microarray data of untreated and drug treated A549 cells, we identified 33 miRNAs whose expression was upregulated after drug treatment and which are associated with a CpG island. Thirty (91%) of these miRNAs were found to be methylated in at least 1 of 11 NSCLC cell lines analysed. Moreover, miR-9-3 and miR-193a were found to be tumor-specifically methylated in NSCLC patients. We observed a shorter disease-free survival of miR-9-3 methylated lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients compared to miR-9-3 unmethylated LSCC patients by multivariate analysis (HR = 3.8, 95% CI = 1.3 to 11.2, p = 0.017) and a shorter overall survival of miR-9-3 methylated LSCC patients compared to miR-9-3 unmethylated LSCC patients by univariate analysis (p = 0.013). Conclusions: Overall, our results suggest that methylation is an important mechanism for inactivation of certain miRNAs in NSCLCs and that miR-9-3 methylation may serve as a prognostic parameter in LSCC patients. MiRNA expression (LC Sciences, mirBASE12) was analyzed before and after treatment of A549 cells with 5-aza-2´-deoxycytidine (Aza-dC) and a combination of Aza-dC and trichostatin A (TSA). Experiments were performed in duplicates.
