Project description:BackgroundTo use high resolution MRI lymphography to characterize altered tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) lymph drainage in response to growth of aggressive tumors.MethodsSix mice bearing B16-F10 melanomas in one rear footpad were imaged by 3.0 Tesla (T) MRI before and after subcutaneous injection of Gadofosveset trisodium (Gd-FVT) contrast agent into both rear feet. Gd-FVT uptake into the left and right draining popliteal LNs was quantified and compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Fluorescent dextran lymphography compared patterns of LN lymph drainage with the pattern of immunostained lymphatic sinuses by fluorescence microscopy.ResultsTDLNs exhibited greater Gd-FVT uptake than contralateral uninvolved LNs, although this difference did not reach significance (P < 0.06). Foci of contrast agent consistently surrounded the medulla and cortex of TDLNs, while Gd-FVT preferentially accumulated in the cortex of contralateral LNs at 5 and 15 min after injection. Fluorescent dextran lymphography confirmed these distinct contrast agent uptake patterns, which correlated with lymphatic sinus growth in TDLNs.Conclusion3.0T MRI lymphography using Gd-FVT identified several distinctive alterations in the uptake of contrast agent into TDLNs, which could be useful to identify the correct TDLN, and to characterize TDLN lymphatic sinus growth that may predict metastatic potential.

Project description:We explored the prognostic impact of the dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) parameter ABrix in cervical cancer combined with global gene expression data to reveal the underlying molecular phenotype of the parameter and construct a gene signature that reflected ABrix. Based on 78 cervical cancer patients subjected to curative chemoradiotherapy, we identified a prognostic ABrix parameter by pharmacokinetic analysis of DCE-MR images based on the Brix model, where tumors with low ABrix appeared to be most aggressive. Gene set enrichment analysis of 46 tumors with pairwise DCE-MRI and gene expression data showed a significant correlation between ABrix and the hypoxia gene sets, whereas gene sets related to proliferation, radioresistance, and wound healing were not significant. Hypoxia gene sets specific for cervical cancer created in cell culture experiments, including targets of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF1M-NM-1) and the unfolded protein response (UPR), were the most significant. In the remaining 32 tumors, low ABrix was associated with upregulation of HIF1M-NM-1 protein expression, as assessed by immunohistochemistry, consistent with increased hypoxia. Based on the hypoxia gene sets, a signature of 31 genes that were upregulated in tumors with low ABrix was constructed. This DCE-MRI hypoxia gene signature showed prognostic impact in an independent validation cohort of 109 patients. Gene expression correlating with the DCE-MRI parameter ABrix were identified in 46 patients (DCE-MRI cohort) and used to find a hypoxia gene signature. The prognsotic impact of the gene signature was validated in an independent cohort of 109 patients (validation chort). Cell culture experiments were performed to generate cervical cancer specific gene lists associated with hypoxia (GSM897799 - GSM897804).

Project description:n breast cancer (BC), detecting low volumes of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis pre-operatively is difficult and novel biomarkers are needed. We recently showed that patient-derived ALNs can be sustained ex-vivo using normothermic perfusion. We now compare reactive (tumour-free; n = 5) and macrometastatic (containing tumour deposits >2mm; n = 4) ALNs by combining whole section multiplex immunofluorescence with TMT-labelled LC-MS/MS of the circulating perfusate. Macrometastases contained significantly fewer B- and T-cells (CD4+/CD8+/regulatory) than reactive nodes (p = 0.02). Similarly, pathway analysis of the perfusate proteome (119/1453 proteins significantly differentially expressed) showed that immune function was diminished in macrometastases in favour of ‘extracellular matrix degradation’; only ‘neutrophil degranulation’ was preserved. Qualitative comparison of the perfusate proteome to that of node-positive pancreatic and prostatic adenocarcinoma also highlighted ‘neutrophil degranulation’ as a contributing factor to nodal metastasis. Thus, metastasis-induced changes in the REPLICANT perfusate proteome are detectable, and could facilitate biomarker discovery.

Project description:The immune-suppressive features often possessed by invasive tumors hamper effective anti-tumor immunity. In this context, tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been widely implied, principally as unwanted suppressors of anti-tumor immune responses. However, while many studies have focused on tumor-infiltrating Tregs, the function and signaling of Tregs in tumor-associated lymph nodes is largely unknown. In this study, we set out to clarify how immune signaling in lymph nodes is impacted by its contact to the tumour. Because muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (MIBC) represent an immunogenic cancer were Tregs are accumulated and sentinel nodes (SNs) can be efficiently detected, we explored the protein expression of T-cells in SNs and non-SNs of MIBC patients. Proteomic analysis of Tregs and effector T-cells in SN and non-draining lymph nodes found SN-Tregs in MIBC patients to up-regulate growth and immune signaling pathways, the cytokine IL-16 being central in the signaling network. Experimental validation showed that in Tregs, tumoral factors increase IL-16 processing into bioactive forms and increase FOXP3 expression. In conclusion, altered IL-16 processing caused by tumour-released factors stimulate expansion of SN-Tregs in MIBC, creating an immunosuppressive environment and contributing to immune escape.
