Project description:Severe xerostomia is noted in the majority of patients irradiated for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). Extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) may serve as effective tools allowing prediction of radiation-related toxicity. The aim of this study was to create an efficient prognostic miRNA-based test for severe, patient-rated xerostomia 3 months after primary treatment. This prospective study enrolled OPC patients treated between 2016 and 2018 in three centers in Poland. The primary endpoint was severe (grade ≥3) xerostomia as assessed by the EORTC H&N-35 questionnaires. Initially, a group of 10 patients with severe xerostomia was randomly selected and matched with a comparative group of 10 patients without severe xerostomia. Samples were collected before RT, after receiving 20 Gy and within 24 hours after treatment completion. qPCR arrays (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) were used to quantify expression levels of 752 miRNAs in the serum at all timepoints. The resulting logistic-regression based model was validated in additional 60 patients: 30 with grade >3 xerostomia and 30 without. Of 152 eligible patients, we successfully recruited 111 patients. Severe xerostomia 3 months after treatment was reported by 63 patients (56.8%). Mean dose delivered to parotid glands was higher in both exploratory and validation cohort. The model based on miR-185-5p and miR-425-5p expression levels measured before the start of radiotherapy had AUC 0.96 (95% CI: 0.88-1.00). The model based on the same miRNAs remained robust when parameters were measured after 20 Gy (AUC 0.90 (95% CI: 0.75-1.00)). These results were confirmed in the validation group. In the validation group pre-radiotherapy model application yielded 73.3% sensitivity and 80.0% specificity. In the samples taken after 20 Gy, the same two miRNAs yielded 67.7% sensitivity and 72.4% specificity. The model including pretreatment miR-185-5p and miR-425-5p levels together with mean parotid dose, yielded 90.0% sensitivity and 80.0% specificity. In the validation cohort, this model yielded 80.6 % sensitivity and 55.2 % specificity. The model based on miRNA levels measured after 20 Gy and mean parotid dose had 80.0 % sensitivity and 100% specificity in the exploratory group. In the validation cohort its performance fell to 71.0 % sensitivity and 58.6 % specificity. Serum expression levels of miR-425-5p and miR-185-5p measured before the start of radiotherapy or during therapy (after 20 Gy) had a significant prognostic value for the occurrence of severe xerostomia 3 months after treatment completion. The variability explained by miRNAs appears to be, at least partially, independent from the one related to the dosimetric data.

Project description:DNA copy number profiles can identify patients with a defect in BRCA1 or BRCA2. We previously showed that patients with a BRCA1 like profile benefit from intensified alkylating chemotherapy (IA, 4 cycles 5-fluorouracyl (5FU), epirubicin, cyclophosphamide (C) + 1 cycle carboplatin, thiotepa and cyclophosphamide with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)). Presumably, this is because of the defect in error free homologous recombination DNA repair. Here we present an independent study IA chemotherapy (2 cycles induction, followed by ifosfamide, 12 g/m2; carboplatin, 900 mg/m2; and epirubicin, 180 mg/m2 with ASCT) versus anthracyclin-C (AC) or C-methothrexate-5FU (CMF) regimens in high risk breast cancer. DNA isolated from untreated resection specimens of 117 patients was labeled using Enzo labeling kit for array CGH and hybridized to a custom 135k Nimblegen platform.

Project description:The identification of the genetic risk factors in patients with isolated cleft palate by whole genome sequencing analysis. Pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were discovered in genes associated with CP (TBX22, COL2A1, FBN1, PCGF2, and KMT2D) in five patients; hence, rare disease variants were identified in 17% of patients with non-syndromic isolated CP. Our results are relevant to routine genetic counselling practice and genetic testing recommendations.

Project description:Differentially methylated oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) biomarkers, identified in-vitro and validated in well-characterized surgical specimens, have shown poor clinical correlation in cohorts with different risk profiles. To overcome this lack of relevance we used the HumanMethylation27 BeadChip, publicly available methylation and expression array data, and Quantitative Methylation Specific PCR to uncover differential methylation in OSCC clinical samples with heterogeneous risk profiles. A two stage-design consisting of Discovery and Prevalence screens was used to identify differential promoter methylation and deregulated pathways in patients diagnosed with OSCC and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Promoter methylation of KIF1A (k=0.64), HOXA9 (k=0.60), NID2 (k=0.60), and EDNRB (k=0.60) had a moderate to substantial agreement with clinical diagnosis in the Discovery screen. HOXA9 had 68% sensitivity, 100% specificity and a 0.81 AUC. NID2 had 71% sensitivity, 100% specificity and a 0.79 AUC. In the Prevalence screen HOXA9 (k=0.82) and NID2 (k=0.80) had an almost perfect agreement with histologic diagnosis. HOXA9 had 85% sensitivity, 97% specificity and a 0.95 AUC. NID2 had 87% sensitivity, 95% specificity and a 0.91 AUC. A HOXA9 and NID2 gene panel had 94% sensitivity, 97% specificity and a 0.97 AUC. In saliva from OSCC cases and controls HOXA9 had 75% sensitivity, 53% specificity and a 0.75 AUC. NID2 had 87% sensitivity, 21% specificity and a 0.73 AUC. This Phase I Biomarker Development Trial identified a panel of differentially methylated genes in normal and OSCC clinical samples from patients with heterogeneous risk profiles. This panel may be useful for early detection and cancer prevention studies. The 12 samples analyzed comprise equal numbers of three tissue-types: Primary oral squamous cell carcinoma, Oral leukoplakia and Normal oral mucosa. Gender, age and smoking-status were approximately equally represented in these goups. Normal oral mucosa served as a control.

Project description:Cerebral palsy (CP) represents a group of non-progressive clinically heterogeneous disorders that are characterized by motor impairment and early age-of-onset, frequently accompanied by co-morbidities. The cause of CP has historically been attributed to environmental stressors resulting in brain damage. While genetic risk factors are also implicated, guidelines for diagnostic assessment of CP do not recommend for routine genetic testing. Given numerous reports of etiologic copy number variations (CNVs) in other neurodevelopmental disorders, we used microarrays to genotype a population-based prospective cohort of children with CP and their parents. Here we identify de novo CNVs in 8/115 (7.0%) CP patients (~1% rate in controls). In four children, large chromosomal abnormalities deemed pathogenic were found, and they were significantly more likely to have severe neuro-motor impairments than those CP subjects without such alterations. Overall the CNV data would have impacted our diagnosis or classification of CP in 11/115 (9.6%) families.

Clinically Relevant Copy Number Variations Detected in Cerebral Palsy. Nature Communications, 2015. Following our rigorous quality control procedure, we successfully genotyped 147 proband samples from individuals with cerebral palsy (81 males and 66 females) and 282 samples obtained from parents (134 males and 148 females). This facilitated the identification of de novo and rare inherited copy number variations of clinical interest.

Project description:827 human miRNA standard human panel Plasma derived extracellular vesicles (EV)/exosomes can serve as markers of cell damage/disease but can also have therapeutic utility depending on the nature of their cargo, such as miRNA. Currently there are challenges and lack of innovations regarding early diagnosis and therapeutic options within different aspects of management of patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis (CP). Use of exosomes as biomarkers for pancreatic health, and/or or as adjuvant therapy would make a difference in management of these patients. To explore the feasibility of this approach, we characterized the miRNA cargo of exosomes purified from CP patients, and compared it to those from healthy participants. Methods: EVs were isolated from plasma of 15 CP patients and 10 healthy controls. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis was used to determine frequency and size while NanoString technology was used to characterize the miRNA cargo. Relevant clinical parameters were correlated with these EV/exosome characteristics. Results: ~30 miRNA species were identified to have significantly (p<0.05) different expression in exosomes from individuals with CP compared to healthy individuals; ~40 miRNA were differentially expressed in exosomes from pre-diabetic versus non-diabetic CP patients. miR-579-3p, while exhibiting significantly lower (~16-fold) expression in exosomes from CP compared to healthy individuals and lower (~24-fold) in CP narcotic users compared to the less severe CP in non-users, is actually enriched (~32-fold) within exosomes in pre-diabetic CP patients compared to non-diabetic CP patients. A unique pattern was identified in female CP patients. Conclusions: These first of a kind data support the prospect of using a bioinformatics approach to assess pancreatic health, and their therapeutic potential in CP patients.

Project description:Descending thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections can go undetected until severe and catastrophic, and few clinical indices exist to screen for aneurysms or predict their risk of dissection or rupture. This study generated a plasma proteomic dataset from 150 patients with descending thoracic aortic disease and 52 controls to identify proteomic signatures capable of differentiating descending thoracic aortic disease from non-disease controls, as well as between cases with aneurysm versus descending ‘type B’ dissection. Of the 1,468 peptides and 195 proteins quantified across all samples, 853 peptides and 99 proteins were quantitatively different between disease and control patients (BH adjusted p-value < 0.01 from t-tests). Supervised machine learning (ML) methods were used to classify disease from control and aneurysm from descending dissection cases. The highest precision-recall area under the curve (PR AUC) was achieved on the held-out test set using significantly different proteins between disease and control patients (PR AUC 0.99), followed by input of significant peptides (PR AUC 0.96). Despite no statistically significant proteins between aneurysm and dissection cases, use of all proteins was able to modestly classify between the two disease states (PR AUC 0.77). To overcome correlation in the proteins and enable biological pathway analysis, a disease versus control classifier was optimized using only seven unique protein clusters, which achieved comparable performance to models trained on all/significant proteins (accuracy 0.88, F1-score 0.78, PR AUC 0.90). Model interpretation with permutation importance revealed that proteins in the most important clusters for differentiating disease and control function in coagulation, protein-lipid complex remodeling, and acute inflammatory response.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) has one of the highest worldwide incidences and mortality rates. Compared to surgery alone, adjuvant 5-Fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy improves 5-year overall survival (OS) in only 3-4% of stage II and 15-20% of stage III patients in unselected populations. Significant advances have been made in the molecular stratification of CRC, with the emerging Consensus Molecular Subtype (CMS) and Colorectal Cancer Intrinsic Signature (CRIS) transcriptomics-based classification systems; however, the therapeutic impact of molecular stratification has so far been limited. In an effort to identify subgroups of patients benefitting from chemotherapy, we assessed which CMS and CRIS subgroups of stage II and III CRC benefitted from adjuvant 5FU-based chemotherapy using in-house and published datasets.
