Project description:For this study, we selected, from the French Sarcoma Group (FSG) database, soft tissue sarcomas with no recurrent chromosomal translocations and for which a frozen tissue of the untreated primary tumor was available. Three hundred and ten sarcomas have been studied. They are split in two cohorts. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the tumor biology

Project description:Huntington's disease is a genetic disease caused by a single mutation. It is characterised by progressive movement, emotional and cognitive deficits. R6/2 transgenic mice carrying the Huntington's disease mutation have a progressive neurological phenotype, including deterioration in cognitive function. The mechanism underlying the cognitive deficits in R6/2 mice is unknown, but dysregulated gene expression, reduced neurotransmitter levels and abnormal synaptic function are present before the cognitive decline becomes pronounced. Our goal here was to ameliorate the cognitive phenotype in R6/2 mice using a combination drug therapy (tacrine, moclobemide and creatine) aimed boosting neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Treatment from 5 weeks of age prevented deterioration in two different cognitive tasks until at least 12 weeks. However, motor deterioration continued unabated. Microarray analysis of global gene expression revealed that many genes significantly up- or down-regulated in untreated R6/2 mice had returned towards normal levels after treatment. Thus dysregulated gene expression was reversed by the combination treatment in the R6/2 mice and probably underlies the observed improvements in cognitive function. Our study shows that cognitive decline caused by a genetic mutation can be slowed by a combination drug treatment, and gives hope that cognitive symptoms in HD can be treated.

Project description:Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most frequent complaints among breast cancer survivors, with a major negative impact on general life. However, the etiology behind this syndrome is still unraveled. Gene expression analysis was performed on whole blood samples from breast cancer survivors classified as either fatigued or non-fatigued at two consecutive time points. The analysis identified several gene sets concerning plasma and B cell pathways as different between the fatigue and non-fatigue groups, suggesting that a deregulation in these pathways might underlie the fatigue syndrome. The fatigue group also showed a higher mean level of leucocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophiles compared with the non-fatigue group, thus further implicating the immune system in the biology behind the fatigue syndrome. Keywords: Blood RNA and late side effects Breast cancer survivors treated with adjuvant radiotherapy at The Norwegian Radium Hospital between 1998 and 2002 were invited to participate in a study assessing late treatment effects in breast cancer survivors. In the present study, gene expression analysis was performed on whole blood samples from breast cancer survivors with and without persistent fatigue, to look for different expression patterns that might shed light on the biology behind cancer-related fatigue.

Project description:HIV-related fatigue is multi-causal in origin and potentially related to mitochondrial dysfunction caused by toxicity from nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) antiretroviral therapy. CD14+ cells are undifferentiated macrophages, vulnerable to HIV infection, and easily accessible for gene expression experiments in a purified cell population. We utilized a novel mitochondrially-specific gene expression microarray to assess mitochondrial and nuclear genes in CD14+ cells of low- and high-fatigued, NRTI-treated HIV/AIDS patients (n=5 each). Novel Bayesian and liquid association network methods identified 33 genes predictive of low versus high fatigue and 32 genes predictive of healthy versus HIV infection. Sulfotransferase 2B1 (SULT2B1) is relevant to both the cholesterol and testosterone pathway, and like several inner mitochondrial membrane genes also identified, predictive of fatigue status, while outer mitochondrial membrane genes were predictive of HIV status. A surprising finding was that adenylate cyclase 2 (ADCY2) was a predictor of both HIV and fatigue; it had the highest Kendallâs Tau association value in the HIV group, but in reverse, the lowest Tau value in the fatigue group. Assaying CD14+ cells may provide an alternative to muscle biopsy and a minimally invasive procedure to evaluate patient mitochondrial function, and Bayesian and network tools are useful to identify the link between subjective symptom perceptions and underlying biologically pathways. Fatigue status in HIV patients treated with NRTIs was found to be linked to RNA expression differences related to mitochondrial function. Additional studies are needed to confirm the relevance of our findings in CD14+ cells in other tissues (e. g. skeletal muscle) and to understand the significance of key genes such as SULT2B and ADCY2 in fatigue and HIV disease. The design was a comparison of HIV high fatigue to HIV low fatigue. Low fatigue was determined as 3-7 on the Revised Piper Fatigue Score and High fatigue was a score of 7 or greater. Five HIV negative control samples were used to compare normal fatigue and non-disease status.

Project description:Sexual quality of life is rarely mentioned by physicians during follow-up consultations, even though it is the source of a significant deterioration in quality of life (QOL).
The assessment of female sexual function is based on self-administered questionnaires. Four questionnaires have been translated and validated in French: FSFI, PISQ-IR, PISQ-12, BISF.
The objective of this project is to determine which questionnaire is acceptable and adapted to a cohort of women living in France who have undergone treatment for rectal cancer
