National Cancer Institute (NCI) TARGET: Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments

ABSTRACT:

The Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) Initiative seeks to accelerate research in novel marker and drug development, along with understanding the molecular basis of pediatric malignancy, through identification of genomic changes associated with the following childhood cancers:

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) - A fast-growing type of blood cancer in which too many immature white blood cells are found in the blood and bone marrow.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) - Another type of blood cancer marked by too many myeloblasts, an alternate type of immature white blood cell, are found in the blood and bone marrow.
Neuroblastoma (NBL) - Cancer of cells of the sympathetic nervous system.
Osteosarcoma (OS) - A cancer of the bone that primarily affects children and adolescents.
Wilms' Tumor (WT) - A cancer of cells in the kidney that can spread to the liver, lung and lymph nodes.

Together these cancers account for the majority of the more than 10,000 childhood cancer cases diagnosed in the United States each year.

TARGET is employing a set of advanced and complementary genome analysis technologies, including large scale 2nd and 3rd generation genome sequencing, to strategically characterize alterations in both gene expression and in genomic structure (such as deletions and amplification) that are involved in childhood cancers. The goal of this coordinated effort is a comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic profile of each cancer. Integrated analysis of the TARGET data will identify those genes that are either altered in their expression level or mapped to the chromosome regions of deletion/amplification/translocation, as these genes represent strong candidates for therapeutic targeting. To learn more about the TARGET project, visit the website at http://target.cancer.gov/.

*Additional renal tumors are being added to the TARGET Initiative (clear cell sarcoma of the kidney - CCSK, and rhabdoid tumor - RT), along with some sequencing of cell lines and xenografts in conjunction with the NCI PPTP project.

TARGET primary genomic sequencing datasets (controlled-access) and limited phenotype data (open-access) are available from this site. TARGET characterization data will be deposited into the TARGET Data Coordinating Center (DCC) database, which is supported by the cancer bioinformatics grid (caBIG), while the sequence data is deposited either into the NCBI's trace repository or the sequence read archive (SRA). Comprehensive access to TARGET datasets, including molecular characterization (e.g. gene expression, copy number variation and epigenetics), full clinical information, and targeted sequencing linking tables, is available via the TARGET Data Portal.

Neuroblastoma is a malignancy of the developing sympathetic nervous system that often presents with widespread metastatic disease, resulting in survival rates of less than 50%. To determine the spectrum of somatic mutation in high-risk neuroblastoma, we studied 240 affected individuals (cases) using a combination of whole-exome, genome and transcriptome sequencing as part of the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) initiative. Here we report a low median ...[more]

To advance the proteogenomic understanding of LUAD, the CPTAC program has investigated 111 tumors, (with 102 tumors paired with normal adjacent tissue samples) and subjected these samples to global proteome and phosphoproteome analysis. An optimized workflow for mass spectrometry of tissues using isobaric tags (TMT (tandem mass tags)-10) was used (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29988108" target="_blank">Mertins et al., Nature Protocols 2018</a>). Proteome and phosphoproteome data from the LUAD discovery cohort is available below along with peptide spectrum matches (PSMs) and protein summary reports from the CPTAC common data analysis pipeline (CDAP).Clinical Data for LUAD tumors are provided below. Updates will be available as the LUAD cohort characterization proceeds.

Project description:Bone development and regeneration is associated with the Wnt signaling pathway that, according to literature, can be modulated by lithium ions (Li+). The aim of this study was to evaluate the gene expression profile during peri-implant healing of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) implants with incorporated Li+, while PLGA without Li+ was used as control, and a special attention was then paid to the Wnt signaling pathway. The implants were inserted in rat tibia for 7 or 28 days and the gene expression profile was investigated using a genome-wide microarray analysis. The results were verified by qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Histomorphometry was used to evaluate the possible effect of Li+ on bone regeneration. The microarray analysis revealed a large number of significantly differentially regulated genes over time within the two implant groups. The Wnt signaling pathway was significantly affected by Li+, with approximately 34% of all Wnt-related markers regulated over time, compared to 22% for non-Li+ containing (control; Ctrl) implants. Functional cluster analysis indicated skeletal system morphogenesis, cartilage development and condensation as related to Li+. The downstream Wnt target gene, FOSL1, and the extracellular protein-encoding gene, ASPN, were significantly upregulated by Li+ compared with Ctrl. The presence of β-catenin, FOSL1 and ASPN positive cells was confirmed around implants of both groups. Interestingly, a significantly reduced bone area was observed over time around both implant groups. The presence of periostin and calcitonin receptor-positive cells was observed at both time points. This study is to the best of the authors’ knowledge the first report evaluating the effect of a local release of Li+ from PLGA at the fracture site. The present study shows that during the current time frame and with the present dose of Li+ in PLGA implants, Li+ is not an enhancer of early bone growth, although it affects the Wnt signaling pathway.
