Project description:Purpose: Our study aimed to disclose the specific gene expression profile representing peritoneal relapses inherent in primary gastric cancers and to identify patients at high risk of peritoneal relapse in a prospective study on the basis of the molecular prediction. Experimental Design: RNA samples from 141 primary gastric cancer tissues after curative surgery were profiled using oligonucleotide microarrays covering 30,000 human probes. Firstly we constructed molecular prediction system and validated the robustness and prognostic validity of the analysis by 500 times multiple random sampling in 56 retrospective set consisting of 38 relapse free and 18 peritoneal relapse patients. Secondly we applied this prediction to 85 prospective set to assess the predictive accuracy and prognostic validity. Results: In retrospective phase, 500 times multiple random sampling analysis yielded 68% predictive accuracy in average and 22 gene expression profile associated with peritoneal relapse was identified. This prediction could identify significantly poor prognostic patients. In prospective phase, the molecular prediction yielded 76.9% overall accuracy. KaplanâMeier analysis with peritoneal relapse free survival showed a significant difference between âgood signature groupâ and âpoor signature groupâ (Log-rank p=0.0017). Multivariate analysis by Cox regression hazards model revealed that the molecular prediction was the only independent peritoneal relapse prognostic factor. Conclusions: Gene expression profile inherent in primary gastric cancer tissues can be useful to predict peritoneal relapse prospectively after curative surgery and individualize postoperative management to improve the prognosis of advanced gastric cancers. Of 141 samples, 56 represented the retrospective phase and 85 represented the prospective phase.

Project description:The gene expression patterns of favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that relapsed were compared with those that did not relapse using oligonucleotide arrays; Description: 250 FHWT of all stages enriched for relapses treated on National Wilms Tumor Study 5 passed quality parameters and were suitable for analysis using oligonucleotide arrays. Relapse risk stratification utilized Support Vector Machine; two and ten fold cross-validation was applied. The number of genes associated with relapse was less than that predicted by chance alone for 106 patients (32 relapses) with stages I and II FHWT and no further analyses were performed. This number was greater than expected by chance for 76 local stage III patients. Cross validation including an additional 68 local stage III patients (total 144 patients, 53 relapses) demonstrated that classifiers for relapse composed of 50 genes were associated with a median sensitivity of 47%, specificity 70%, and total error rate of 38%. Analysis of genes differentially expressed in relapse patients revealed apoptosis, Wnt signaling, IGF pathway, and epigenetic modification to be mechanisms important in relapse. Potential therapeutic targets include FRAP/MTOR and CD40. Experiment Overall Design: 144 stage 3 FHWT, with fifty-three relapses (cases) and ninety-one non-relapses (controls) with a minimum of three years follow-up, included all relapses and a 30% random selection of non-relapses for which frozen tumor tissue was available who passed all quality control parameters. The NWTS-5 protocol was approved by the review boards of institutions that registered patients. Histological diagnosis and local stage were confirmed by central review. Experiment Overall Design: Quality control steps taken: Experiment Overall Design: 1. Samples were snap frozen immediately following surgery and were mailed on dry ice to the Tumor Bank and retained at -80C. Experiment Overall Design: 2. Frozen sections were evaluated histologically and tumors with less than 80% viable tumor cellularity were excluded. Experiment Overall Design: 3. Array images were assessed by eye to confirm scanner alignment and the absence of significant bubbles or scratches. Experiment Overall Design: 4. Samples for which the 3'/5' ratios for GAPDH were greater than 3.2 were excluded. Experiment Overall Design: 5. The BioB spike controls were confirmed as present; BioC, BioD and cre were confirmed as increasing intensity. Experiment Overall Design: 6. When scaled to a target intensity of 2500, scaling factors were between 12 and 53; background levels were 34 â 115: Q values were 1.3 â 3.7 and mean intensities were within acceptable limits. Experiment Overall Design: 7. The range of percent present calls was from 38% to 52%. Experiment Overall Design: 8. Verification of gene expression was performed utilizing quantitative RT-PCR for five genes. Â Â Experiment Overall Design: Statistical Analysis: Positional-dependent-nearest-neighbor model (PDNN) software was used to translate the scanned images into expression analysis files and to normalize the data across all arrays (http://odin.mdacc.tmc.edu/~zhangli/PerfectMatch/). Genes with maximum expression less than a log scale of 6 across all tumors and Affymetrix control genes were excluded, resulting in 20,931 probe sets for analysis. Support Vector Machine (SVM) as developed by Chang and Lin (http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm) and implemented in an R software package, e1071 was chosen for relapse risk stratification using the p-value of the t-test comparison between case and control to select the genes. Using all 144 tumors, 109 genes were identified with p-value <0.001 and are provided in the data table labelled "t-test comparison between case and control" (ie, Supplemental table 2, in related publication)." Two and ten fold cross validations were utilized to investigate the ability of classifiers established in randomly selected training set to predict relapse in an independent test set comprised of the remaining tumors. For two-fold cross validation, the dataset was randomly divided 500 times into training and corresponding test sets of equal size, each including half the patients who relapsed. A classifier for relapse was identified for each training set and used to assign tumors in the corresponding test set to low and high risk categories. The training and test sets were then swapped. The number of top K genes in each classifier evaluated ranged from 1-150. Therefore, a total of 150,000 different classifiers were developed, one for each value of K from 1-150, for each of the 1,000 (500*2) training sets. For ten-fold cross validation the dataset was randomly divided 500 times into ten groups of approximately equal size. Each group included approximately the same number of relapses. For each such group, a classifier was built with the remaining 9/10 of the samples and then used to categorize tumors in the group as low or high risk; the process was repeated until all tumor samples were categorized as low or high risk. For all the cross validation procedures, to avoid gene-selection bias, classifiers were completely rebuilt in each cross validation iteration.

Project description:Adult-type granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) is a rare ovarian malignancy characterized by slow growth and hormonal activity. The prognosis of AGCT is generally favorable, but one-third of patients with low-stage disease experience a late relapse, and over half of them die of AGCT. To identify markers that would distinguish patients at risk for relapse, we performed Lexogen QuantSeq 3’ mRNA sequencing on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded, archival AGCT tissue samples tested positive for the pathognomonic FOXL2-mutation. We compared the transcriptomic profiles of 14 non-relapsed archival primary AGCTs (follow-up time 17-26 years after diagnosis) with 13 relapsed primary AGCTs (follow-up time 1.7-18 years) and eight relapsed tumors (follow-up time 2.8-18.9 years). Non-relapsed and relapsed primary AGCTs had similar transcriptomic profiles. In relapsed tumors three genes were differentially expressed: plasmalemma vesicle associated protein (PLVAP) was upregulated (p=0.01), whereas argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) (p=0.01) and perilipin 4 (PLIN4) (p=0.02) were downregulated. PLVAP upregulation was validated using tissue microarray RNA in situ hybridization. In our patient cohort with extremely long follow-up, we observed similar gene expression patterns in both primary AGCT groups suggesting that relapse is not driven by transcriptomic changes. These results reinforce earlier findings that molecular markers do not predict AGCT behavior or risk of relapse.

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common pediatric brain tumor and is an aggressive neoplasia arising in the cerebellum. MB includes four major histological subsets commonly subdivided in: classic, desmoplastic, anaplastic or large-cell, and nodular. The current patients risk stratification is based on the age at diagnosis (> or < 3 years at diagnosis), the extent of residual tumor mass post-operative, and disease dissemination. An average risk is assigned to patients older than 3 years of age with minimal or no tumor residual. These patients are more than 60% of overall MBs and have an overall survival between 50-70% at 5 years. It is widely accepted that tumor aggressiveness and progression depend on genetic abnormalities. We performed the genome-wide study, focused on classic MB belonging to pediatric patients at standard risk. We analyzed 31 MB samples using high resolution oligonucleotide Human Genome CGH 244K (Agilent Technologies). The present study may help to identify novel molecular prognostic markers useful to refining current criteria of patientsM-BM-4 relapse risk estimation in this subgroup of patients. We analyzed 31 samples of classic medulloblastoma from patients older than 3 years of age at diagnosis

Project description:<p>Although multi-agent combination chemotherapy is curative in a significant fraction of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, 20% of cases relapse and most die due to chemo-refractory disease. Here we used whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing to analyze the mutational landscape and pattern of clonal evolution at relapse in pediatric ALL cases. These analyses showed that ALL relapses originate from a common ancestral precursor clone of the diagnosis and relapsed populations and frequently harbor mutations implicated in chemotherapy resistance. RAS-MAPK pathway activating mutations in NRAS, KRAS and PTPN11 were present in 24/55 (44%) cases in our series. Notably, while some cases showed emergence of RAS mutant clones at relapse, in others, RAS mutant clones present at diagnosis were replaced by RAS wild type populations. Mechanistically, functional dissection of mouse and human wild type Kras and mutant Kras (Kras G12D) isogenic leukemia cells demonstrated induction of methotrexate resistance, but also improved response to vincristine, in mutant Kras- expressing lymphoblasts. These results identify chemotherapy driven selection as a central mechanism of leukemia clonal evolution and pave the road for the development of tailored personalized therapies for the treatment of relapsed ALL. </p>

Project description:Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is curative for high-risk pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML), disease relapse remains the primary cause of post-transplant mortality. To identify pressures imposed by allo-HCT on AML cells that escape the graft-versus-leukemia effect, we evaluated immune signatures in bone marrow samples from four pediatric patients using a multimodal single-cell approach. Downregulation of MHC class II (MHC-II) expression observed at post-transplant relapse was most profound in progenitor-like blasts and was accompanied by correlative changes in transcriptional regulation. Dysfunction of activated NK cells and CD8+ T cell subsets at the time of relapse was evidenced by the loss of IFN-γ response, TNF-a signaling via NF-kB, and IL-2/STAT5 signaling. Clonotype analysis of post-transplant relapse samples revealed expansion of dysfunctional T cells and enrichment of T regulatory and T helper cells. Using novel computational methods, our results illustrate a diverse immune-related transcriptional signature in post-transplantation relapses not previously reported in pediatric AML.

Project description:Almost a quarter of pediatric patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) suffer from relapses. The biological mechanisms underlying therapy response and development of relapses have remained unclear. In an attempt to better understand this phenomenon, we have analyzed 41 matched diagnosis relapse pairs of ALL patients using genomeâ??wide expression arrays (82 arrays) on purified leukemic cells. In roughly half of the patients very few differences between diagnosis and relapse samples were found (â??stable groupâ??), suggesting that mostly extra-leukemic factors (e.g., drug distribution, drug metabolism, compliance) contributed to the relapse. Therefore, we focused our further analysis on 20 samples with clear differences in gene expression (â??skewed groupâ??), reasoning that these would allow us to better study the biological mechanisms underlying relapsed ALL. After finding the differences between diagnosis and relapse pairs in this group, we identified four major gene clusters corresponding to several pathways associated with changes in cell cycle, DNA replication, recombination and repair, as well as B cell developmental genes. We also identified cancer genes commonly associated with colon carcinomas and ubiquitination to be upregulated in relapsed ALL. Thus, about half of relapses are due to selection or emergence of a clone with deregulated expression of a genes involved in pathways that regulate B cell signaling, development, cell cycle, cellular division and replication. The study contains 41 pairs of samples taken from patients at diagnosis and relapse (a total of 82 arrays).

Project description:We obtained snap-frozen tissue samples from 20 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with stage III disease who had undergone curative resection. The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U133Plus 2.0 arrays. We used microarrays to identify potential gene deregulation correlated with the outcomes of colon cancer patients. mRNA from 20 primary colorectal tumour samples were extracted and hybridized to HG-U133Plus 2.0 expression arrays. The NexusExp3 procedure was used to make calls of expression. Of the 20 patients, 7 had disease relapse within 3 years after surgery.
