Project description:The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is a potent inducer of differentiation in human promyelocytic leukemia cells. Recently, TPA has been successfully administered to patients with myelocytic leukemia and has produced therapeutic effects that led to temporary remission. These studies demonstrated the potential efficacy of TPA in cancer chemotherapy. We now seek to understand the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of differentiation in response to TPA treatment in leukemia cells by expression profiling using DNA microarray. Our results show distinct temporal and coordinated gene changes that are consistent with differentiation and activation of multiple biochemical pathways in HL-60 cells exposed to TPA. Alterations of gene expression in HL-60 cells include various transcription factors, cytokines and protein markers that are consistent with the induction of differentiation elicited by TPA. These temporal patterns of gene expression were abolished or greatly diminished in an HL-60 derived TPA- resistant variant cell line (HL-525), thus revealing transcriptional and consequential biochemical changes that may be required for TPA-induced differentiation. In addition, certain genes were upregulated by TPA in TPA-resistant HL-525 cells but not in TPA-sensitive HL-60 cells suggesting that these genes may play a role in the resistant phenotype. These patterns of gene expression may be important for predicting response to TPA.

Project description:Various in vitro and in vivo experimental models have been used for the discovery of genes and pathways involved in melanoma and other types of cancer. However, in many cases, the results from various tumor models failed to be validated successfully in clinical studies. Limited information is available on how closely these models reflect the in vivo physiological conditions. In this study, a comprehensive genomics approach was used to systematically compare the expression patterns of snap frozen samples obtained from patients with primary melanoma, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastases, and compare these patterns to those of their corresponding cell lines and tumor xenografts in nude mice. The GE Healthcare 20k human genome array was used and the expression data was normalized and analyzed using GeneSpring 7.2 software. Based on the expression analysis, the correlation rate between the snap frozen primary patient samples vs. derived cell lines was 66%, with 1687 differentially expressed genes. The correlation rate between the snap frozen primary patient samples and the tumor xenografts was 75%, with 1,374 differentially expressed genes, and the correlation rate comparing tumor xenografts to derived cell lines ranged between 58% and 84%. These results demonstrated significant gene expression differences between tumor materials with different in vitro and in vivo growth microenvironments. Such studies can help us to distinguish between genes up- or down-regulated as a result of the microenvironment and those stably expressed independently of the tumor milieu. With the extensive use of cell lines and xenografts in cancer research, the information obtained using our approach may help to better interpret results generated from different tumor models by understanding common differences, as well as similarities at the gene expression level, information that may have important practical and biological implications.

Project description:The t(14;18) is the most common genetic alteration in follicular lymphoma, and is detectable in a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), resulting in over-expression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2. Although the t(14;18)-induced over-expression of BCL-2 is an important step in lymphomagenesis, this aberration alone is not sufficient to produce malignant lymphoma. Further analysis of these tumors is needed to identify additional genes that might be involved in the genesis of follicular lymphoma and progression to DLBCL. To address this issue, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of four t(14;18)-positive cell lines and two t(11;14)-positive mantle-cell lymphoma cell lines using cDNA microarrays containing 4364 genes, and compared them to the genetic profile of phenotypically purified B-cells obtained from hyperplastic tonsils. A total of 137 genes were differentially expressed by approximately twofold or more in the t(14;18) cell lines relative to tonsillar B-cells. 68 genes were up-regulated, 69 genes were down-regulated, and approximately 20% of the differentially regulated genes had no known function. The up-regulated genes included a number of genes involved in the promotion of cellular proliferation and survival, as well as cell metabolism. Down-regulated genes included mediators of cell adhesion and negative regulators of cell activation and growth. Hierarchical clustering analysis separated the t(14;18) and mantle-cell lines into distinct groups based on their gene expression profiles. We confirmed the differential expression of approximately 80% of selected up- and down-regulated genes identified by microarray analysis by quantitative real-time fluorescence reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis and/or immunoblotting. This study demonstrates the utility of cDNA microarray analysis for the assessment of global transcriptional changes that characterize t(14;18)-positive cell lines, and also for the identification of novel genes that could potentially contribute to the genesis and progression of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with this translocation.

Project description:Purpose:Uveal melanoma (UM) typically spreads to the liver, where it is incurable, as there are limited therapeutic interventions available. This study aimed to standardize laboratory methods for generating three-dimensional (3D) spheroids using UM cell lines and primary UM (PUM) samples for use in drug screening. Methods:Six UM cell lines and nine PUM, of differing genetic characteristics were cultured in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions. 3D spheroid formation and growth were time monitored, and ImageJ software was used to calculate cross-sectional areas. PUM spheroids underwent immunohistochemistry for melanoma markers, nuclear BAP1, and cell proliferation. Chromosomal alterations in patient UM biopsies were compared with the corresponding 3D spheroid. In vitro drug assays testing doxorubicin and selumetinib assessed drug penetration and toxicity after 48 hours using imaging and the CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay. Results:All six UM cell lines formed spheroids of varying sizes and compactness; six of the nine PUM samples (67%) also formed spheroids, composed of MelanA+ proliferating melanocytes and admixed macrophages. PUM spheroids were genetically identical to the original sampled tumor. In vitro drug assays showed varying penetrations into UM cell line spheroids, with doxorubicin passing into the spheroid core and selumetinib having an effect largely on peripheral cells. Both drugs caused a dose-dependent reduction in viability of 3D spheroid cells. Conclusions:UM cell lines and PUM samples can successfully generate uniform 3D spheroids. PUM spheroids retain histological and genetic characteristics of the primary tumor. 3D spheroids are an important system for use in future high-throughput drug testing. Translational Relevance:The use of 3D spheroids allows early-phase drug screening and is an important first step toward treatment personalization for UM patients.
