Genome-wide maps of histone modifications in endometrial cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: DNA regulatory elements are reported to be enriched for variants identified by genome-wide association studies to be significantly assocaited with risk of complext traits. Here, we have performed genome-wide mapping of histone modifications in two endometrial cancer cell lines and performed interestions of these sites with genetic risk variants identified by genome-wide association study of endometrial cancer. Histone modifications indicative of enhancers (H3K4Me1 and H3K27Ac) and promoters (H3K27Ac and H3K4Me3) were identified by ChIP-seq in Ishikawa and JHUEM-14 cells, pre- and post-stimulation by estrogen. Overall, 73% of endometrial cancer genetic risk variants overlapped at least histone modification site. This overlap was significantly greater than the overlap observed for these histone marks with genetic risk variants related to, for example, endometriosis (51%; Fisher’s Exact p = 8.7x10-8) or schizophrenia (40%; Fisher’s Exact p < 2.2x10-16). These findings indicate the relevance of the selected cell and tissue types for informing endometrial cancer biology. Overlaps between genetic risk variants and histone modification sites increased significantly after stimulation with estrogen (50% versus 38% for unstimulated features; Fisher’s Exact p = 5.6x10-3), emphasizing the importance of estrogen in endometrial cancer aetiology.

Conjunctival melanoma copy number alterations and correlation with mutation status, tumor features and clinical outcome

Project description:Relatively little is known about the genetic aberrations of conjunctival melanomas (CoM) and their correlation with clinical and histomorphological features as well as prognosis. The aim of this large collaborative multicentre study was to determine potential key biomarkers for metastatic risk and any druggable targets for high-risk metastatic CoM. Using Affymetrix Single Nucleotide Polymorphism genotyping arrays on 59 CoM, we detected frequent amplifications on chromosome (chr) 6p and deletions on 7q, and characterised mutation-specific copy number alterations. Deletions on chr 10q11.21-26.2, a region harbouring the tumor suppressor genes, PDCD4, SUFU, NEURL1, PTEN, RASSF4, DMBT1 and C10orf90 & 99 significantly correlated with metastases (Fisher’s Exact, p≤0.04), lymphatic invasion (Fisher’s Exact, p≤0.02), increasing tumor thickness (Mann-Whitney, p≤0.02) and BRAF mutation (Fisher’s Exact, p≤0.05). This enhanced insight into CoM biology is a step towards identifying patients at risk of metastasis and potential therapeutic targets for systemic disease.

Cross-cancer genome-wide association study of endometrial cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer identifies genetic risk regions associated with risk of both cancers

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests a relationship between endometrial cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer. For example, endometrial cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer share epidemiological risk factors and molecular features observed across histotypes are held in common (e.g. serous, endometrioid and clear cell). Independent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for endometrial cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer have identified 16 and 27 risk regions, respectively, four of which overlap between the two cancers. Using GWAS summary statistics, we explored the shared genetic etiology between endometrial cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer. Genetic correlation analysis using LD Score regression revealed significant genetic correlation between the two cancers (rG = 0.43, P = 2.66 × 10-5). To identify loci associated with the risk of both cancers, we implemented a pipeline of statistical genetic analyses (i.e. inverse-variance meta-analysis, co-localization, and M-values), and performed analyses by stratified by subtype. We found seven loci associated with risk for both cancers (PBonferroni < 2.4 × 10-9). In addition, four novel regions at 7p22.2, 7q22.1, 9p12 and 11q13.3 were identified at a sub-genome wide threshold (P < 5 × 10-7). Integration with promoter-associated HiChIP chromatin loops from immortalized endometrium and epithelial ovarian cell lines, and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data highlighted candidate target genes for further investigation.

Breast cancer risk factors are associated with DNA methylation in non-diseased breast tissue independent of cell type

Project description:The underlying biology through which established breast cancer risk factors contribute to disease risk is not well characterized. One key risk factor for breast cancer is age, and age-related DNA methylation alterations may contribute to increased risk of disease. Here we assessed normal breast tissues and tested the relation of DNA methylation with known breast cancer risk factors. Cancer-free women donated breast tissue biopsy specimens through the Susan G. Komen Foundation and provided detailed risk factor data (n=100). Bisulfite modified DNA was profiled for DNA methylation genome-wide using the Infinium 450K DNA methylation array. We tested the relation of known breast cancer risk factors such as age, BMI, parity, and family history of disease with DNA methylation adjusted for variation in cell type proportions using a novel cellular mixture deconvolution algorithm. We identified 787 CpGs that exhibited significant (FDR adjusted, q-value < 0.01) differential DNA methylation associated with subject age, but not with other breast cancer risk factors. We observed an enrichment among the risk factor-related CpGs for Polycomb group target genes (Fisher’s Exact test, P = 1.74E-06), and breast myoepithelial cell enhancer regions (H3K4me1; Fisher’s Exact test, P = 7.1E-20). We validated our risk factor-related findings in two independent populations of normal breast tissue (n=18 and n=97). In addition, age-related CpGs were further deregulated in both pre-invasive (DCIS, n=40) and invasive breast cancers (TCGA, n=731). Overall, our results suggest that the breast cancer risk factor age contributes to epigenetic dysregulation in normal breast tissue that exhibit progressive changes in cancer.

Endometrial profile of low-dose estradiol and tamoxifen combination therapy

Project description:Combination therapy with estrogen and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) is a promising approach to safely alleviate important side effects related to estrogen deficiency in women at high risk for breast cancer. Data related to endometrial safety of estrogen+SERM co-therapies are limited, however. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the endometrial profile of low-dose E2 and Tam alone and in combination. In this study 16 postmenopausal female cynomolgus macaques were randomized to receive placebo, low-dose micronized estradiol (E2, 0.25 mg/1800 kcal), the SERM tamoxifen (Tam, 20 mg/1800 kcal), or E2+Tam in a parallel-arm design. Endometrial samples were collected after 4 months of treatment and used for microarray analysis.

ETV4 is necessary for estrogen signaling and growth in endometrial cancer cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Estrogen signaling through estrogen receptor alpha (ER) plays a major role in endometrial cancer risk and progression; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying ER’s regulatory role in endometrial cancer are poorly understood. In breast cancer cells, ER genomic binding is enabled by FOXA1 and GATA3, but the transcription factors that control ER genomic binding in endometrial cancer cells remain unknown. We previously identified ETV4 as a candidate factor controlling ER genomic binding in endometrial cancer cells and here we explore the functional importance of ETV4. Homozygous deletion of ETV4, using CRISPR/Cas9, led to greatly reduced ER binding at the majority of loci normally bound by ER. Consistent with the dramatic loss of ER binding, the gene expression response to estradiol was dampened for most genes. ETV4 contributes to estrogen signaling in two distinct ways; ETV4 loss impacts chromatin accessibility at some ER bound loci and impairs ER nuclear translocation. The diminished estrogen signaling upon ETV4 deletion led to decreased growth, particularly in 3D culture where hollow organoids were formed. Our results show that ETV4 plays a necessary role in estrogen signaling in endometrial cancer cells.

Mufudza2012 - Estrogen effect on the dynamics of breast cancer

Project description:Mufudza2012 - Estrogen effect on the dynamics of breast cancer This deterministic model shows the dynamics of breast cancer with immune response. The effects of estrogen are incorporated to study its effects as a risk factor for the disease. This model is described in the article: Assessing the effects of estrogen on the dynamics of breast cancer. Mufudza C, Sorofa W, Chiyaka ET. Comput Math Methods Med 2012; 2012: 473572 Abstract: Worldwide, breast cancer has become the second most common cancer in women. The disease has currently been named the most deadly cancer in women but little is known on what causes the disease. We present the effects of estrogen as a risk factor on the dynamics of breast cancer. We develop a deterministic mathematical model showing general dynamics of breast cancer with immune response. This is a four-population model that includes tumor cells, host cells, immune cells, and estrogen. The effects of estrogen are then incorporated in the model. The results show that the presence of extra estrogen increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: BIOMD0000000642.

Analysis of promoter-associated chromatin interactions reveals biologically relevant candidate target genes at endometrial cancer risk loci

Project description:The identification of target genes at genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci is a major obstacle for GWAS follow-up. To identify candidate target genes at the 16 known endometrial cancer GWAS risk loci, we performed HiChIP chromatin looping analysis of endometrial cell lines. To enrich for enhancer-promoter interactions, a mechanism through which GWAS variation may target genes, we captured loops associated with H3K27Ac histone, characteristic of promoters and enhancers. Analysis of HiChIP loops contacting promoters revealed enrichment for endometrial cancer GWAS heritability and intersection with endometrial cancer risk variation identified 103 HiChIP target genes at 13 risk loci. Expression of four HiChIP target genes (SNX11, SRP14, HOXB2 and BCL11A) was associated with risk variation, providing further evidence for their regulation. Network analysis functionally prioritized a set of proteins that interact with those encoded by HiChIP target genes, and this set was enriched for pan-cancer and endometrial cancer drivers. Lastly, HiChIP target genes and prioritized interacting proteins were over-represented in pathways related to endometrial cancer development. In summary, we have generated the first global chromatin looping data from endometrial cells, enabling analysis of all known endometrial cancer risk loci and identifying biologically relevant candidate target genes.
