Project description:Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of endocrine malignancy. From a set of PTC patients whose tumor did not harbour any BRAF or RAS mutations, a 35 years old male patient’s normal, primary tumor and lymph node (LN) metastatic tissues were subjected to genomics and proteomics analysis. By RNA-seq analysis, we identified a novel RET rearrangement involving exons 1-4 from the 5’ end of the Trk fused Gene (TFG) fused to the 3’ end of RET tyrosine kinase leading to a TFG-RET fusion which transforms immortalized human thyroid cells in a kinase-dependent manner. Further, TFG-RET oncogene oligomerises in a PB1 domain-dependent manner and consistently, mutation of the oligomerisation interface led to the inhibition of RET-mediated oncogenic transformation. Quantitative proteomic analysis of the same samples revealed the upregulation of proteins involved in the ubiquitination machinery including E3 Ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 and DUBs like USP9X and UBP7 in both tumor and LN metastatic lesions. We further identified that expression of TFG-RET led to the upregulation of HUWE1. Further, in a cohort of PTC patients, we observed higher expression of HUWE1, USP9X and USP7 in the tumor and metastatic lesions, when compared to the matched normal tissue. Transient knockdown of HUWE1, USP9X and USP7 affected viability and proliferation of TFG-RET transformed cells. Consistently, inhibition of RET, HUWE1 and DUBs by small molecule inhibitors significantly reduced RET-mediated oncogenesis. Apart from unveiling a novel oncogenic RET fusion in PTCs, our data may open a novel avenue of targeting ubiquitin signaling machinery in human PTCs.

Project description:RET-aberrant cancer discovered as a relevant targetable oncogene in several types of tumors, whose inhibitors have marked efficacy. However, some of patients with RET-aberrant cancer are insensitive to RET- tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and are clinically non-responders. Recently, drug-tolerant mechanisms have been gaining attention as targets for initial therapies aimed at overcoming drug resistance. However, the underlying mechanisms of drug-tolerant cells emergence treated with RET-TKIs derived from RET-aberrant cancer cells remains unknown. In this study, HER3 signal activity through YAP1 was led to maintaining cell survival and inducing the emergence of cells tolerant to RET-TKIs selpercatinib and pralsetinib in high YAP1 expressed RET- rearranged cancer cells. These results suggested that YAP1-HER3 axis plays pivotal roles for cell survival under an exposure with RET-TKIs in the intrinsic resistance to RET-TKIs and the emergence of tolerant cells by RET-TKIs in YAP1 expressed RET-aberrant cancer, suggesting that YAP1/HER3 inhibition and RET-TKIs is a highly potent combination for initial treatment.

Project description:A Cartes d'Identité des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) | Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 : 188 tumor samples |Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors occuring in the context of inherited cancer syndromes in approximately 30% of cases, linked to germline mutations in VHL, RET, NF1, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2 or TMEM127 genes. Although progress has been made with regard to tumorigenesis mechanisms in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma thanks to genome-wide expression studies, the question of a putative molecular distinction between VHL- and SDHx- on one hand, and RET- and NF1-related tumors on the other hand, remained to be addressed as well as the characterization of genetic events in sporadic tumors. With this purpose, 202 pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas, including 75 hereditary tumors, were investigated by expression profiling, array CGH and somatic mutation screening. The systematic characterization of somatic genetic events associated with tumor suppressor gene germline mutations in tumor tissues reveals a majority of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) but also point mutations and copy neutral LOH. Gene-expression signature defined the hereditary tumors according to their genotype. Especially, a complete sub-separation between SDHx- and VHL-related tumors was observed. Moreover, guided by the transcriptome classification and the LOH profile, somatic mutations in VHL or RET genes were identified in 14% of sporadic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas. A genetic cause was found in 45.5% (92/202) of the large series of pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas analyzed. Regarding mutated genes, specific molecular pathways involved in tumorigenesis mechanisms are showed. Altogether, these new findings suggest that somatic mutation analysis would give important clues for personalized molecular target therapies.

Project description:Fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs) of breast cancers were taken before and after surgeries from 16 patients. The cDNA microarray data were used to determine the gene expression profile responding to patient's clinical finding and tumor's pathological changes. A gene profile was generated as Estrogen Receptor Gene Signature (ERGS). The ERGS was verified in a reference dataset and correlated with patient's prognosis significantly. Keywords: Breast cancer, fine needle biopsy, estrogen receptor, prognostic gene signature

Project description:Case story. A patient with massive infiltration of the visceral adipose tissue depot by BAT in a patient with a catecholamine secreting paraganglioma. BAT tissue was identified by protein expression of UCP1 (western blotting and immunostaining) The goal of the study is to identify patterns of gene expression in BAT containing visceral fat compared to the patient's own subcutanous fat which did not express BAT. For comparison a pool of mRNA isolated from visceral fat from obese subjects was used. Patient Case, Gene expression array from a biopsy from the patient's visceral fat and a biopsy from the subcutaneous fat compared to one array of mRNA from the visceral depot pooled from a group of obese subjects

Project description:Genomic rearrangements leading to intragenic gene fusion are mainly found in some types of haematopoietic malignancies and sarcomas. Recently they have been described also in carcinomas such as the papillary thyroid histotype (60%-70%) and the Hürthle thyroid tumours (58%). The presence of junction oncogene constitutes an area of exciting research for emerging therapy as targeting the RET-PTC1 fusion oncogene by using small interfering RNA (siRNA) strategies since it is present only in the tumour cells and not in the surrounding normal cells. Therefore, we developed a siRNA against RET-PTC1 junction and assess its efficiency on the human papillary thyroid carcinoma cell line TPC-1 which spontaneously harbours the RET-PTC1 oncogene. The targeted genes are assessed by microarray analysis by comparing the regulated genes by the siRNA_RET-PTC1 vs a siRNA_RET developed on the RET part of the mRNA minus the siRNA_control that contain four mutation within the RET-PTC1 sequence. To test the targeted genes in the TPC-1 cell line that spontaneously harbours RET-PTC1 junction of two siRNAs developed: Within the RET-PTC1 junction, and in the mRNA RET part. A non-specific siRNA harbouring 4 mutations within the RET-PTC1 sequence was used as negative control (siRNA_control). By real-time PCR (Q-RT-PCR) we demonstrated that both siRNAs (siRNA_RET-PTC1 and siRNA_RET) significantly reduce RET mRNA levels of about 85 % in TPC-1 cells. The negative control did not show an effect of RET mRNA levels. Three independent transfections were performed on TPC-1 cells using 5 µl of Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen, Cergy-Pontoise, France) and 50nM of i) siRNA_RET-PTC1 or ii) siRNA_RET or iii) siRNA_control that harbour 4 mutations within its sequence. Total RNAs of untreated cells and transfected cells were purified using the RNA cleanup and concentration kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and gathered in 4 pools : 1) TPC-1 harbouring RET-PTC1 ; 2) TPC-1 silenced for RET-PTC1 with siRNA RET-PTC1 ; 3) TPC-1 silenced for siRNA RET ; 4) TPC-1 treated with the siRNA control.

Project description:Endocrine therapy is the main therapeutic option for patients with estrogen receptor alpha positive (ER+) breast cancer. Nevertheless, most of them become estrogen-independent and relapse after the treatment. Ret is a tyrosine kinase receptor that shows elevated expression levels in ER+ human breast tumors. In this study, we demonstrate that activation of the Ret receptor promotes proliferation as well as cell migration irrespective of endocrine therapy. Microarray data show that Ret activation involves changes in the expression of inflammatory- and motility-related genes. In vivo treatment with a Ret pathway inhibitor in a ER+/Ret+ mouse mammary cancer model, reduces tumor growth and lung metastasis even after endocrine therapy. Additionally, we show a connection between Ret and inflammatory pathways. The pro-inflamatory cytokine IL6 lies at the core of this regulation, which involves a positive feedback loop with IL6 and the Ret pathway reciprocally stimulating each other to further leading metastasis risk. Our findings provide insight into endocrine resistance mechanism and point at the Ret pathway as a potential target for future therapies.
