The Genomic Complexity of Primary Human Prostate Cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Seven primary prostate cancers and their paired normal counterparts were DNA-sequenced on a massively parallel sequencing platform. This approach was taken to investigate the genomes for mutations and genomic alterations that would be undetectable by lower-resolution methods. As result, tumors containing chains of balanced rearrangements that occurred within or adjacent to known cancer genes were discovered.

Project description:This work was conducted to identify shared and specific target genes of different ETS transcription factor rearrangements in prostate cancer. Potential target genes were identified by differential gene expression analysis of primary tumor samples with ETS rearrangements, and validated by ETS silencing in prostate cancer cell lines. The series consists of 50 primary tumor samples from a consecutive series of 200 clinically localized cancers treated with radical prostatectomy at the Portuguese Oncology Institute, Porto, Portugal. The series is enriched in tumors with ETS transcription factor rearrangements

Project description:Deregulated expression of miRNAs contributes to prostate cancer progression. This study is aimed to identify which miRNA(S) is (are) asociated with prostate cancer aggressiveness. Prostate cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissue were used to isolate total RNA. miRNA expressions were analyzed by miRNA Microarray assay.

Project description:We investigated an intergenic haplotype on chr21q22, linked to five different inflammatory diseases. We used a functional approach (massively-parallel reporter assay; MPRA) to first identify active enhancers at the locus in primary human macrophages, and then determine if candidate variants within these regulatory regions might alter enhancer activity. In doing so, we discovered a mechanism that orchestrates macrophage responses during chronic inflammation and delineated how the risk haplotype increases expression of the causal gene, ETS2.

Project description:We employed a massively parallel, high resolution Capture-C based method to simultaneously characterize the genome-wide interactions of all human promoters in any cell type. We applied this approach to study the promoter interactome of HepG2 cells (3 biological replicates). We designed a custom Agilent SureSelect library targeting both ends of DpnII restriction fragments that overlap promoters of protein-coding, noncoding, antisense, snRNA, miRNA, snoRNA and lincRNA transcripts. Each library was sequenced on 4 lanes of an Illumina HiSeq 4000.

Project description:Organotypic in vitro culture is useful to model mammalian disease in numerous tissues. Normal epithelial differentiation and carcinogenesis both undergo in vivo regulation by stroma, but current culture methods exclude stroma. To mimic this in vivo environment, we developed and characterized a human 3D prostate organoid co-culture model that incorporates prostate stroma. Primary prostate stromal cells supported increased organoid formation and expressed growth factors and WNT-related genes involved in epithelial differentiation. Organoid branching occurred distal to physical contact with stromal cells, demonstrating non-random branching. Tumoroids derived from primary prostate cancer maintained differential expression of the prostate cancer marker AMACR only in the presence of stroma. Stroma-induced phenotypes were similar in all patients examined, yet maintained inter-patient heterogeneity in the degree of response. Addition of stroma to in vitro organoid culture recapitulated the in vivo microenvironment by inducing organization of benign organoids into branching structures and preserving prostate cancer phenotypes.

Project description:Genome rearrangements, especially amplifications and deletions, have regularly been observed as responses to sustained application of the same strong selective pressure in microbial populations growing in continuous culture. We studied eight strains of budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) isolated after 100–500 generations of growth in glucose-limited chemostats. Changes in DNA copy number were assessed at single-gene resolution by using DNA microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization. Six of these evolved strains were aneuploid as the result of gross chromosomal rearrangements. Most of the aneuploid regions were the result of translocations, including three instances of a shared breakpoint on chromosome 14 immediately adjacent to CIT1, which encodes the citrate synthase that performs a key regulated step in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Three strains had amplifications in a region of chromosome 4 that includes the high-affinity hexose transporters; one of these also had the aforementioned chromosome 14 break. Three strains had extensive overlapping deletions of the right arm of chromosome 15. Further analysis showed that each of these genome rearrangements was bounded by transposon-related sequences at the breakpoints. The observation of repeated, independent, but nevertheless very similar, chromosomal rearrangements in response to persistent selection of growing cells parallels the genome rearrangements that characteristically accompany tumor progression.

Project description:Chromosome rearrangements in small apes are up to 20 times more frequent than in most mammals. Because of their complexity, the full extent of chromosome evolution in these hominoids is not yet fully documented. However, previous work with array painting, BAC-FISH and selective sequencing in two of the four karyomorphs, has shown that high resolution methods can precisely define chromosome breakpoints and map the complex flow of evolutionary chromosome rearrangements. Here we use these tools to precisely define the rearrangements that have occurred in the remaining two karyomorphs, genera Symphalangus (2n=50), and Hoolock (2n=38). This research provides the most comprehensive insight into the evolutionary origins of chromosome rearrangements involved in transforming small apes genome. Bioinformatics analyses of the human-gibbon synteny breakpoints revealed association with transposable elements and segmental duplications providing some insight into the mechanisms that might have promoted rearrangements in small apes. In the near future, the comparison of gibbon genome sequences will provide novel insights to test hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of chromosome evolution. The precise definition of synteny block boundaries and orientation, chromosomal fusions, and centromere repositioning event presented here will facilitate genome sequence assembly for these close relatives of humans.
