Project description:High-dose radiation is the main component of glioblastoma therapy. Unfortunately, radio-resistance is a common problem and a major contributor to tumor relapse. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving response to radiation is critical for identifying regulatory routes that could be targeted to improve treatment response. We conducted an integrated analysis in the U251 and U343 glioblastoma cell lines to map early alterations in the expression of genes at three levels: transcription, splicing, and translation in response to ionizing radiation.

Project description:Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with high intra-tumoral heterogeneity, frequently resistant to treatment and no known targeted therapy available to improve patient outcomes. It has been hypothesized that the genomic architecture of a TNBC tumour evolves over time, both before, and during therapy, leading to therapy resistance and a high propensity to relapse. Whether this is an inherent property of the tumour or acquired over time is not well characterized. Despite this important clinical implication, limited studies have been carried out to unravel temporal evolution of TNBC over time. Herein, we report an OMICS based analysis of three TNBC patients who were longitudinally sampled during their treatment at different times of relapse. We recruited three TNBC patients at the time of their first relapse who were then followed-up through the course of their treatment. We obtained retrospective samples (tumour samples) from patient tumours at diagnosis (before neo-adjuvant chemotherapy - NACT) at surgery (post NACT) and prospectively sampled them at each subsequent relapse (tumour, blood plasma, and buffy coat) as determined by RECIST criteria. Tumor and buffy coat DNA were subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES) at 200x, and SNP arrays for copy number variation (CNV) analysis. RNA from tumour samples at relapse was subjected to whole transcriptome sequencing. Pathogenic germline BRCA1 variants identified in WES were validated using Sanger sequencing. 1084 somatic mutations identified in whole exome sequencing of all tumour tissues (n=13) from three patients, were subjected to a custom amplicon ultra-deep sequencing assay at 30,000X in their germline DNA (n=3), tumour DNA (n=10), and cfDNA from plasma samples at relapse (n=8). Copy number corrected allele frequencies, tumour ploidy, tumour purity, and ultra-deep sequencing assay derived variant allele frequencies were used to infer clonal and phylogenetic architecture of each patient as it evolved under selective pressure of therapy over time. Clonality analysis incorporating allele fractions from ultra-deep sequencing identified clones comprising of mutations that are present throughout the course of therapy which we term as founding clones and stem mutations respectively. Such founding clones comprising of stem mutations in all 3 patients were present throughout the course of treatment, irrespective of change in treatment modalities. These stem clones included well characterized cancer related genes like PDGFRB & ARID2 (Patient 02), TP53, BRAF & CSF3R (Patient 04) and ESR1, APC, EZH2 & TP53 (Patient 07). Such branching evolution is seen in all three patients wherein the dominant clone (stem clone) acquires additional mutations to form sub-clones, while persisting over time. These sub-clones may be chemo and radio resistant, while also providing for organ specific metastatic potential. Allele fractions of expressed variants inferred from RNA-Seq data co-related with allele fractions from WES data indicating that all somatic.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignant lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the accumulation of small mature B cells in blood and secondary lymphoid tissues. Novel drugs, such as the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib, have greatly improved survival expectations of CLL patients, nevertheless acquired drug resistance represents a major challenge the molecular mechanisms of which have not been elucidated yet. In order to fill this knowledge gap, we generated a mouse model of ibrutinib resistance by treating mice upon adoptive transfer of Eµ-TCL1 leukemia (TCL1-CLL) continuously with ibrutinib. After an initial response to the treatment, relapse under therapy occurs with an aggressive outgrowth of the malignant cells, resembling observations in patients. To unravel relapse mechanism, we performed transcriptome and proteome analyses of sorted TCL1-CLL cells both during treatment and after relapse. Comparative analysis of these omics layers suggested alterations in the proteasome activity as a driver of ibrutinib resistance. Accordingly, we showed that preclinical treatment with the irreversible proteasome inhibitor (PI) carfilzomib administered upon ibrutinib resistance prolonged survival of mice, thus acting as salvage therapy. Longitudinal proteomic analysis of CLL patients with ibrutinib resistance identified deregulation in protein post-translational modifications. In addition, CLL cells from ibrutinib-resistant patients effectively responded to several PIs in co-culture assays. Altogether, our results from orthogonal omics approaches identified proteasome inhibition as potentially attractive innovative salvage treatment option for CLL patients resistant or refractory to ibrutinib.

Project description:The main clinical hypothesis is that compared to radio-chemotherapy for low and mid rectal tumors or surgery for high rectal tumors neoadjuvant chemotherapy reduces the rate of distant relapse without increasing the rate of local relapse.
The aim of the present study is to compare long term and short term outcomes in rectal cancer patients undergoing standard treatment (radio-chemotherapy/surgery) or experimental neoadjuvant chemotherapy/surgery Furthermore, early surgical and medical complications, the functional outcome, toxicity and quality of life (QoL) may be improved if radiotherapy can be avoided.
Exploratory analyses are planned in order to find potential predictive markers for selecting patients to either radio-chemotherapy/surgery or neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy/surgery.

Project description:The follow up of colorectal cancer after curative surgery has to find loco-regional relapses or synchronous metastases, and to detect adenomas and new cancer on the rest of the colon.
The increase of survival after relapse of the colorectal cancer depends on the possibility of curative action or after chemotherapy response.
This is a Phase III open-labeled, multicenter, multidisciplinary, randomised study, comparing 2 arms of 188 patients (i.e. 376 total patients).
Study Period (date of first inclusion/last inclusion): 3 years.
Follow Up: 3 years.
The primary objective is the evaluation of PET performance in the earlier relapse detection of the colorectal cancer relapse in comparison with conventional control (including carcinoembryonic [CEA] levels and other classic radiological exams).
