Project description:We have investigated expressed microRNA in cryo-preserved esophageal cancer tissues using advanced microRNA microarray techniques. Our microarray analyses reveal a unique microRNA expression signature composed of 40 genes which can distinguish normal from malignant esophageal tissue. Some microRNAs could be correlated with the different clinico-pathological classifications. For example, high hsa-miR-103, -107, -23b expression correlated with poor overall disease-free survival of esophageal cancer patients. These results indicate that microRNA expression profiles are important diagnostic and prognostic markers of esophageal cancer, which might be analyzed simply using economical approaches such as RT-PCR. Keywords: microRNA, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanism of rectal cancer and develop markers for disease prognostication, we generated and explored a dataset from 243 rectal cancer patients by gene expression microarray analysis of cancer samples and matched controls, and SNP-arrays of germline DNA. We found that two of the loci most strongly linked with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, 8q24 (upstream of MYC) and 18q21 (in the intron of SMAD7), as well as 20q13 (in the intron of LAMA5), are tightly associated with the prognosis of rectal cancer patients. For SNPs on 18q21 (rs12953717 and rs4464148) and 20q13 (rs4925386), alleles that correlate with higher risk for the development of CRC are associated with shorter disease free survival (DFS). However, for rs6983267 on 8q24, the low risk allele is associated with a higher risk for recurrence and metastasis after surgery, and importantly, is strongly correlated with the resistance of CRC cell lines to chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We also found that although MYC expression is dramatically increased in cancer, patients with higher levels of MYC have a better prognosis. The expression of SMAD7 is weakly correlated with DFS. Notably, the presence of the 8q24 and 18q21 SNP alleles is not correlated with expression levels of MYC and SMAD7. rs4464148, and probably rs6983267 and rs4925386, are linked with overall survival time of patients. In conclusion, we show that several CRC risk SNPs detect subpopulations of rectal cancer patients with poor prognosis, and that rs6983267 probably affects prognosis through interfering with the resistance of cancer cells to CRT.

Project description:Sub-optimal fetal development is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and adiposity later in life. However, definitions of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and small for gestational age (SGA) are based on simple statistical approaches that may misclassify infants with a normal developmental profile and vice versa. We used an unbiased global profiling approach to identify gene expression patterns in umbilical cord tissue from 38 infants and identified a set of 466 genes which separated the subjects into 2 distinct groups – one biased towards lower birth weight and one biased towards normal birth weight. The data suggest that approximately 30% of children of normal size have a molecular profile more typical of impaired fetal development and who may be on a programmed trajectory. Differences in expression between the two groups encompassed 384 upregulated and 82 downregulated genes. Molecular profiling at birth may have utility in identifying markers that potentially reflect antenatal developmental and may be predictive of future phenotypic development after birth. Importantly, it may provide an alternative to the current classification of infants using birth weights.

Project description:Multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) are known for their distinctive ability to differentiate into different cell lineages such as adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteocytes. They can be isolated from numerous tissue sources including bone marrow, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and others. Because of their differentiation potential and their secretion of growth factors, MSCs are believed to have an inherent quality of regeneration and immune suppression, which are considered advantageous in treating multiple disorders such as graft-versus-host disease. Since the number of MSCs derived from a tissue source is low, cellular expansion is necessary to obtain sufficient numbers for a desired cell therapy. However, after several rounds of passaging, our previous results have shown that MSCs exhibit reduced capacity for proliferation and differentiation. In this study, gene markers of MSC proliferation were identified and evaluated for their ability to predict the cell population proliferative quality. Microarray data of human bone marrow-derived MSCs were correlated with two proliferation assays. A collection of 24 genes were observed to significantly correlate with both proliferation assays (|r| > 0.70) for 8 MSC donors at multiple passages. These 24 identified genes were then confirmed using an additional set of MSCs from 8 new donors using RT-qPCR. The proliferative potential of the second set of MSCs was measured for each donor/passage by three proliferation assays for confluency fraction, fraction of EdU+ cells and population doubling time. The second set of MSCs exhibited a greater proliferative potential at passage 4 in comparison to passage 8, which was distinguishable by 15 genes; however, only 7 of the genes (BIRC5, CCNA2, CDC20, CDK1, PBK, PLK1, SPC25) demonstrated significant correlation (FDR: q < 0.05 and |r| > 0.62) with MSC proliferation regardless of passage. These 7 genes and the proliferative capacity of different non-MSC cell lines were assessed for comparison. Our analyses revealed that correlation between gene expression and proliferation was consistently reduced with the introduction of non-MSC cell lines; therefore this set of 7 genes may be more strongly associated with MSC proliferative quality. These correlative methods may be further used to identify additional markers that exhibit strong correlation with a particular MSC quality such as differentiation or immune suppression potential. Our results pave the way toward the identification of specific gene markers that could rapidly determine the quality of an MSC population for a particular cellular therapy in lieu of an extended in vitro or in vivo assay.

Importantly, it may provide an alternative to the current classification of infants using birth weights. RNA from umbilical cord tissue from full term neonates was extracted and hybridized. Separation into 2 distinct groups, independent of birth weight, but based solely on gene expression levels was analysed by Genespring. After appropriate statistical analysis, one group was keenly associated with a higher birth weight (22 samples) while the other was associated with a lower birth-weight (18 samples). Technical replicates were included for all 40 samples.

Project description:Aortic stenosis (AS) is a degenerative valve disease characterized by active remodelling of valve leaflets. The main hallmarks of stenotic aortic valves (AVs) include fibrosis, inflammation, osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Men and women develop these mechanisms differently. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a pro-inflammatory and pro-osteogenic lectin with a prominent role in the progression of AS. In this work, we aim to analyze potential sex-differences in the impact of Gal-3 in AS. 226 patients (61.50% men) with severe AS undergoing surgical valve replacement were recruited. In AVs, Gal-3 expression and its relationship with inflammatory, osteogenic and angiogenic markers was assessed. Valve interstitial cells (VIC) derived from AV tissue were primary cultured to perform in vitro experiments. Proteomic analysis revealed that Gal-3 is over-expressed in VICs of male AS patients. Gal-3 secretion also showed to be higher in men’s VICs as compared to women. In human AV tissue, Gal-3 protein levels were significantly higher in men, with stronger immunostaining in VICs with myofibroblastic phenotype and valve endothelial cells. Gal-3 levels in AVs were positively correlated with inflammatory markers in both sexes. Gal-3 expression was also positively correlated with osteogenic markers mainly in men’s AV, and with angiogenic molecules only in this sex.
