The identification of genetic vulnerabilities in head and neck cancers for the development of novel treatments.

ABSTRACT: The global cancer burden is expected to double by the year 2030 and this will disproportionately affect the Asian continent. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is endemic in Asia. It is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the second most common in Malaysia, with approximately 600,000 new cases per year globally. Longterm survival remains less than 50%, underscoring the need for better therapeutic strategies. In this proposal we aim to bring new technological advancements in the identification of critical genes in HNSCC and the identification of compounds for the development of new therapies in HNSCC. We propose to genomically characterise 16 unique Asian H&N cancer cell lines, to classify sub groups where identification of essential genes that can be targeted for tumor control can be applied in a more rational way. Further, we propose to use zebrafish, an established drug discovery platform to identify promising pathway-specific compounds that could be further studied using CRISPR/Cas9 lethality screens and biological models to better identify novel therapeutic strategies to combat this major health problem in Asia.

Multi-layered population structure in Island Southeast Asians

Project description:The history of human settlement in Southeast Asia has been complex and involved several distinct dispersal events. Here we report the analyses of 1825 individuals from Southeast Asia including new genome-wide genotype data for 146 individuals from three Mainland Southeast Asian (Burmese, Malay and Vietnamese) and four Island Southeast Asian (Dusun, Filipino, Kankanaey and Murut) populations. While confirming the presence of previously recognized major ancestry components in the Southeast Asian population structure, we highlight the Kankanaey Igorots from the highlands of the Philippine Mountain Province as likely the closest living representatives of the source population that may have given rise to the Austronesian expansion. This conclusion rests on independent evidence from various analyses of autosomal data and uniparental markers.

Definition of key mechanisms of multidrug resistance of head and neck tumors to chemo- and radiotherapy treatments. Identification of new individualized antitumor drugs (Ref. GC16173720CARR)

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, with an incidence of about 600,000 new cases per year, accounting for 1-2% of all cancer deaths worldwide. Current treatment for head and neck cancer includes taxol (docetaxel), platinum compounds (e.g. cisplatin or carboplatin) and the anti metabolite 5 fluorouracil (5 FU), either as single agents or in combination, and also radiotherapy. Response rates to these chemotherapeutic drugs range from 60 to 80%, however there are high rates of resistance, which often leads to locoregional recurrence and metastasis. The therapeutic dose of treatment needed (hormone therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy) is often too toxic for the patient to withstand. Therefore, our main objetive in this proyect is the identification of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the acquisition of resistance to chemotherapy as currently key pieces for the discovery of new drugs that allow the development of effective therapies against HNSCC.

iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics analysis of human HNSCC cells

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer and is major cause of cancer mortality and morbidity. It emerges within oral cavity, lip, tongue, floor of the mouth, nasopharynx, palate, gingival and larynx, is common cancer worldwide especially in Southeast Asia and Southern China. Despite of the advancements in the understanding of the HNSCC as the disease, the 5 year survival rate remains unchanged at 50% since last three decades. Factors such as advanced stage presentation of the patient and consequent delay in diagnosis contributes to the bleak scenario. Thus, therefore there is dire need of useful biomarkers that can predict HNSCC in early stages and can serve as prognostic indicators or targets for treatment. In the present study, We used iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation)-based quantitative proteomic approach followed by liquid chromatography and high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify differential proteins from head and neck cancer cell lines.

Population Prehistory in Island Southeast Asia

Project description:Affymetrix single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data were collected to study genome-wide patterns of genomic variation across a broad geographical range of Island Southeast Asian populations. This region has experienced an extremely complex admixture history. Initially settled ~50,000 years ago, Island Southeast Asia has since been the recipient of multiple waves of population movements, most recently by Austronesian-speaking groups ultimately from Neolithic mainland Asia and later arrivals during the historic era from India and the Middle East. We have genotyped SNPs in ~500 individuals from 30 populations spanning this entire geographical region, from communities close to mainland Asia through to New Guinea. Particular attention has been paid to genomic data that are informative for population history, including the role of recent arrivals during the historic era and admixture with archaic hominins.

Transcription profiling of human biopsies of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and non-malignant controls

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common cancer in southern China and South East Asia where more than 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. We used microarrays to identify down or upregulated genes in NPC compared with non-malignant controls. Experiment Overall Design: Snap frozen nasopharyngeal biopsies from 25 patients with histologically confirmed undifferentiated NPC were included in the microarray analysis. Controls were obtained from 3 patients with no evidence of malignancy.

Immunologically hot phenotype is associated with response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Ongoing immunomodulatory strategies in tumors characterized by an overall hot immune phenotype may improve prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Our objective was to develop a reliable and stable scoring system for the identification of immunologically hot HNSCC and to evaluate its association with response to immunotherapies. A Hot Oral Tumor (HOT) score was developed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. HOT score was computed in 102 patients with HNSCC treated with immunotherapy targeting PD-1/PD-L1 in the context of clinical trials. High HOT score was associated with a statistically significant improved clinical outcome.

Proteomic profiling of extracellular vesicles suggests Collectin10 as potential biomarker in relapsing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide. Developing new therapies has been ongoing for many decades, however, the 5-year overall survival rate remains comparably low and has not improved significantly. Treatment failure in HNSCC patients is common, especially in recurrences, and results in a poorer prognosis. Therefore, a better understanding of the disease is crucial to detect HNSCC recurrences at an early stage. HNSCC-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs), have been shown to suppress the immune system and thereby promote tumor progression. However, it is still unclear which pathways play a pivotal role in relapse or in remission. Contamination-free plasma EVs were purified using the EXÖBead® technology and EVs proteins underwent holistic proteome profiling by high-resolution mass spectrometry. COLEC10 appears to be the most regulated EVs protein and therefore has been chosen for further analysis and validation. Furthermore PanEV+ COLEC10+ and PanEV+ CD45Neg COLEC10+ of plasma EVs-EXÖBead complexes also showed a higher expression in relapsed patients compared to remission. Gene ontology analyses suggested that the relapse-upregulated proteins are significantly enriched in pathways for collagen trimer and chain formation, the complement system activation and in the tumor necrosis factor like domain superfamily related pathway. The remission-upregulated proteins were significantly enriched in early endosome or lysosomal membrane formation, membrane stability, mRNA stability and in ubiquitin protein ligase binding. According to common tissue RNA-seq database elevated COLEC10 gene has been associated with shorter survival in female patient and observed from different clinical cohort. Our results indicate that increased protein expression in EVs of patients with recurrent disease might contribute to disease progression with COLEC10 as potential biomarker in HNSCC.

Gene expression profiles of paired endoscopic tumor biopsy (initial diagnostic assessment) and subsequent surgically resected specimens.

Project description:Ongoing immunomodulatory strategies in tumors characterized by an overall hot immune phenotype may improve prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Our objective was to develop a reliable and stable scoring system for the identification of immunologically hot HNSCC and to evaluate its association with response to immunotherapies. A Hot Oral Tumor (HOT) score was developed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. HOT score was then computed in 27 patients with HNSCC in paired perendoscopic tumor biopsy (initial diagnostic assessment) and subsequent surgically resected specimen. None of the patients was treated with neoadjuvant therapy. Concordance and correlation of the HOT score was high in paired samples.
