Project description:Prostate cancer is the second most occurring cancer in men worldwide, and with the advances made with screening for prostate-specific antigen, it has been prone to early diagnosis and over-treatment. To better understand the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and possible treatment responses, we developed a mathematical model of prostate cancer which considers the major signalling pathways known to be deregulated. The model includes pathways such as androgen receptor, MAPK, Wnt, NFkB, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, mTOR, SHH, the cell cycle, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), apoptosis and DNA damage pathways. The final model accounts for 133 nodes and 449 edges. We applied a methodology to personalise this Boolean model to molecular data to reflect the heterogeneity and specific response to perturbations of cancer patients, using TCGA and GDSC datasets.

Project description:Proteomic profiling of extracellular vesicles (EVs) represents a promising approach for early detection and therapeutic monitoring of diseases such as cancer, which was aimed for identifying novel biomarkers for prostate cancer diagnosis in this study. The focus of this study was to develop a robust data independent acquisition (DIA) using mass spectrometry to analyse urinary EV proteomics for prostate cancer and prostate inflammation screening. We combined three library-based analysis (direct-DIA, GPF-DIA, and fractionated DDA) to improve the stability and comprehensiveness of biomarkers. By applying this innovative DIA strategy in conjunction with stable automatic EVs extraction technology, we assessed the levels of urinary EV-associated proteins based on 40 samples consisting of 20 cases and 20 controls, where 18 EV proteins were identified to be differentiated in prostate cancer outcome, of which 3 (i.e., SERPINA3, LRG1, SCGB3A1) were shown to be consistently up regulated. We also observed 6 out of the 18 (33%) EV proteins that had been developed as drug targets, while some of them showed interactions. Moreover, the potential mechanistic pathways of significantly different EV proteins, were enriched in metabolic, immune, and inflammatory activities. These results showed consistent in an independent cohort consist of 20 participants. Based on random forest algorithm, we found that SERPINA3, LRG1, SCGB3A1 add predictable value in addition to age, prostate size, body mass index (BMI) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). In summary, the current study revealed the EV proteomic landscape and biomarkers for prostate cancer, which has shown to provide promising insights of urine EV proteome in clinical implication.

Project description:Interventions: The intervention is a web based Colorectal cancer RISk Prediction tool (CRISP) risk assessment tool utilising a risk model to provide patients with a personalised risk assessment and colorectal cancer screening advice based on their risk.
Patients in the intervention group will be invited to complete the risk tool with a trained researcher prior to a consultation with their GP. The tool will take a maximum of 7 minutes and will be completed at baseline only. Participants will receive their risk of colorectal cancer and screening advice based on their risk which they will take with them into their consultation with their GP. All participants will also complete a survey collecting information about cancer risk perception, worry and bowel cancer screening intention and behaviour at baseline, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after recruitment. The follow up survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and will be sent through the post or a link to the online survey will be sent via email.
We will ask for permission to access GP records, records from Medicare, Victorian Admissions and Emergency Dataset (VAED) and from the National Bowel Screening Program (NBCSP) 1, 3 and 5 years after the participants enrol to track the colorectal cancer screening they have had.
Primary outcome(s): The primary outcome will be the proportion of participants who have had risk-appropriate screening after 12 months’ follow-up. Appropriateness of screening will be determined by their absolute 5-year risk of CRC, using a 1% threshold and completion of FOBT, colonoscopy no screening, or a referral to a Familial Cancer Centre for genetic counselling if indicated by their family history. Patient self-report at 12 months will tell us what screening each patient has had and this will be cross-checked with GP records, records from Medicare, Victorian Admissions and Emergency Dataset (VAED) and from the National Bowel Screening Program (NBCSP)[12 months post recruitment]

Project description:The clinical management of prostate cancer is challenging and currently relies primarily on staging, histological grading, and tumor size. In this study, we take advantage of the propensity of prostate cancer to be multifocal and categorize aggressiveness of individual prostate cancer foci based on DNA methylation patterns in primary and metastatic tumors.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and affects 1 in 9 men in the United States. Early screening for prostate cancer often involves monitoring levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and performing digital rectal exams. However, a prostate biopsy is always required for definitive cancer diagnosis. The Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) is a consortium within the National Cancer Institute aimed at improving screening approaches and early detection of cancers. As part of this effort, the Weill Cornell EDRN Prostate Cancer has collected and biobanked specimens from men undergoing a prostate biopsy between 2008 and 2017. In this report, we describe blood metabolomics measurements for a subset of this population. The dataset includes detailed clinical and prospective records for 580 patients who underwent prostate biopsy, 287 of which were subsequentially diagnosed with prostate cancer, combined with profiling of 1,482 metabolites from plasma samples collected at the time of biopsy. We expect this dataset to provide a valuable resource for scientists investigating prostate cancer metabolism.

Project description:There is an unmet need for improved diagnostic testing and risk prediction for cases of prostate cancer (PCa) to improve care and reduce overtreatment of indolent disease. Here we have analysed the serum proteome and lipidome of 262 study participants by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, including participants with a diagnosis of PCa, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or otherwise healthy volunteers, with the aim of improving biomarker specificity. Although a two-class machine learning model was able to separate PCa from controls with sensitivity of 0.82 and specificity of 0.95, adding BPH resulted in a statistically significant decline in specificity for prostate cancer to 0.76, with half of BPH cases being misclassified by the model as PCa. A small number of biomarkers differentiating between BPH and prostate cancer were identified, including proteins in MAP Kinase pathways, as well as in lipids containing oleic acid; these may offer a route to greater specificity. These results highlight, however, that whilst there are opportunities for machine learning, these will only be achieved by use of appropriate training sets that include confounding comorbidities, especially when calculating the specificity of a test.

Project description:Through digital rectal examinations and routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, early treatment of prostate cancer has become possible. However, prostate cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease. In many patients, cancer cells can invade adjacent tissues and metastasize to other tissues, resulting in difficultly to cure. For the treatment of primary and metastatic prostate cancer, a significant problem is how to improve its survival time. Here, we collect 7 untreated primary and metastatic prostate cancer and 6 benign prostate hyperplasia samples under ultrasound guidance by experienced radiologists using the 18-G needle. Through mass spectrometry, we have completely depicted the protein atlas of primary and metastatic prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia. Through bioinformatics analysis, experimental verification, and combined clinical data, we discover that the ribosome signaling pathway promotes the progression of prostate cancer and is associated with a poor prognosis. Among them, Mrpl1, Mrpl4, and Mrpl16 may be biomolecular markers for diagnosis and prognosis.

Project description:Although an increased level of the prostate-specific antigen can be an indication for prostate cancer, other reasons often lead to a high rate of false positive results. Therefore, an additional serological screening of autoantibodies in patients’ sera could improve the detection of prostate cancer. We performed protein macroarray screening with sera from 49 prostate cancer patients, 70 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 28 healthy controls and compared the autoimmune response in those groups. We were able to distinguish prostate cancer patients from normal controls with an accuracy of 83.2%, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia from normal controls with an accuracy of 86.0% and prostate cancer patients from patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with an accuracy of 70.3%. Combining seroreactivity pattern with a PSA level of higher than 4.0 ng/ml this classification could be improved to an accuracy of 84.1%. For selected proteins we were able to confirm the differential expression by using Lluminex on 84 samples. We provide a minimally invasive serological method to reduce false positive results in detection of prostate cancer and according to PSA screening to distinguish men with prostate cancer from men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
