RNAseq of healthy mesothelial cells and primary mesothelioma cell lines

ABSTRACT: Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer associated with previous exposure to asbestos. Currently there are no effective treatments for mesothelioma and majority of patients will die within a year after diagnosis. Although a large number of preclinical and clinical trials assessed the efficacy of various therapuetic modes, including anti-angiogenic therapies, immunotherapy, antibody-drug conjugates and oncolytic viruses, none of the tested molecules entered the clinic. Thus, to better understand what drives mesothelioma carcinogenesis and to identify novel targets for therapy, in this project we aim at performing a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of heathy mesothelial cells and a panel of mesothelioma cells lines. Primary mesothelial cell lines were established in prof. Marciniak lab from human pleural specimens, while primary mesothelioma cell lines were obtained from MesobanK. Both models constitute low passage cell lines and therefore should closely represent genetics of the original tissue.

Gene expression profiles in MexTAg transgenic mouse and wild type mouse asbestos-induced mesothelioma

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive tumour arising from the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum or pericardium. The principal carcinogen associated with malignant mesothelioma is asbestos . A transgenic mouse model, denoted MexTAg, which encodes the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (TAg) downstream of the mesothelin promoter was developed. Inactivation of the tumour suppressors p53 and RB following binding to TAg results. In this model mesothelioma develops in the mesothelial cell compartment after the mice have been exposed to asbestos. The MexTAg transgenic mouse model of mesothelioma model enables analysis of the molecular events associated with asbestos induced mesothelioma and is utilised here to investigate the molecular dynamics of tumours induced in these mice, using gene expression patterns as a read out.

Differential susceptibility of human pleural and peritoneal mesothelial cells to asbestos exposure

Project description:We hypothesize that the observed differences in incidences of pleural and peritoneal malignant mesothelioma (MM) are the result of differences in the direct response of these cell types to asbestos rather than to differences mediated by the in vivo microenvironment. To test this hypothesis, we characterized cellular responses to asbestos in a controlled environment using high-throughput RNA sequence and other assays. Examination of asbestos-treated versus untreated mesothelial cells from four cell lines representing two tissue types in culture.

Transcriptome analysis of mesothelial cells induced by intraperitoneal injections of crocidolite in rats

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumor strongly associated with asbestos exposure. The granuloma capturing crocidolite contribute to mutagenesis, cell death and regenerative activity. To clarify the biological responses of mesothelial cells after crocidolite exposure, we compared the microarray gene expression profiles of no treatment and crocidolite exposure (1 wks) mesothelial cells induced by intraperitoneal injections.

Whole genome expression signature of SWCNT and MWCNT vs. asbestos subchronic exposures to human pleural mesothelial cells

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer known. Recent studies have shown that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are biopersistent and induce mesothelioma in animals, but the underlying mechanisms are not known. Here, we investigate the effect of long-term exposure to CNTs on the aggressive behaviors of human pleural mesothelial cells, the primary cellular target of human lung mesothelioma. We show that sub-chronic exposure (4 month) to single- and multi-walled CNTs induced proliferation, migration and invasion of the cells similar to that observed in asbestos-exposed cells. An up-regulation of several key genes known to be important in cell invasion, notably matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), was observed in the exposed mesothelial cells as determined by real-time PCR. Western blot and enzyme activity assays confirmed the increased expression and activity of MMP-2. Whole genome expression microarray analysis further indicated the importance of MMP-2 in the invasion gene signaling network of the exposed cells. Knockdown of MMP-2 in CNT and asbestos-exposed cells by shRNA-mediated gene silencing effectively inhibited the aggressive phenotypes. This study provides new evidence for CNT-induced cell invasion and indicates the role of MMP-2 in the process. Whole genome expression profiling was conducted on human immortalized pleural mesothelial cells (MeT5A) following 4 month in vitro sub-chronic exposure to six separate treatments to assess differences in carbon nanotube (CNT) vs. asbestos potential tumorigenesis signaling. Dispersed single wall CNT (D-SWCNT), multi-wall CNT (D-MWCNT), crocidolite asbestos (ASB) and saline (SAL) exposed cells were compared to SurvantaÂ® dispersant (DISP) passage control cells. DISP and SAL cells served as control treatments for CNT- and ASB-exposed cells, respectively. Each treatment possessed 3 biological cDNA replicates. One technical replicate was performed per biological sample.

DNA copy number changes in malignant mesothelioma

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an asbestos-related malignancy. Discrimination between MM and reactive mesothelial hyperplasia (RM) is often difficult. MM cells have a broad histological spectrum, and consist mainly of epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic cell types. The prognosis of MM is generally poor, but better prognosis has been reported with the epithelioid type of MM than the non-epithelioid type. We applied a genome-wide analysis to the identification of new markers that may aid in differentiating the epithelioid type of MM from other histological types and from RM cells. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization analysis was performed on malignant mesothelioma (MM) primary cell cultures, reactive mesothelial hyperplasia (RM) primary cell cultures; early passage of in vitro primary cell cultures to minimize acquisition of additional genomic changes. If available, matched peripheral blood was applied to analysis.

Transcriptome analysis of mesothelioma induced by intraperitoneal injections of asbestos in rats

Project description:Human malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumor strongly associated with asbestos exposure. SM patients generally have poorer prognosis compared to EM patients. To identify potential genes accounting for the differential prognosis between these two subtypes, we compared the microarray gene expression profiles of rat SM and EM tissues induced by intraperitoneal injections of 3 types of asbestos (chrysotile,crocidolite and amosite). Carcinogenesis protocol was performed using specific pathogen-free male and female F1 hybrid rats between Fischer344 and Brown-Norway strains. A total of 28 microarrays (Whole Rat Genome Microarray) were used for screening purpose: The 2 arrays were used for knife-scraped peritoneal mesothelial cells, 2 arrays for cultured peritoneal mesothelial cells and 24 arrays for MM samples.
