Project description:To elucidate the mechanisms of rapid progression of serous ovarian cancer, gene expression profiles from forty-three ovarian cancer tissues comprising eight early stage and thirty-five advanced stage tissues were performed using oligonucleotide microarrays of 18,716 genes. By non-negative matrix factorization analysis using 178 genes, which were extracted as stage-specific genes, 35 advanced-stage cases were classified into two subclasses with superior (n = 17) and poor (n = 18) outcome evaluated by progression-free survival (logrank test, p = 0.03). Of the 178 stage-specific genes, 112 genes were identified as showing different expression between the two subclasses. Of the 48 genes selected for biological function by Gene Ontology analysis or Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, 5 genes (ZEB2, CDH1, LTBP2, COL16A1 and ACTA2) were extracted as candidates for prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival. The relationship between high ZEB2 or low CDH1 expression and shorter progression-free survival was validated by real-time RT-PCR experiments of 37 independent advanced-stage cancer samples. ZEB2 expression was negatively correlated with CDH1 expression in advanced-stage samples, whereas ZEB2 knockdown in ovarian adenocarcinoma SKOV3 cells resulted in an increase in CDH1 expression. Multivariate analysis showed that high ZEB2 expression was independently associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, the prognostic effect of E-cadherin encoded by CDH1 was verified using immunohistochemical analysis of an independent advanced-stage cancer samples set (n = 74). These findings suggest that the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related genes such as ZEB2 and CDH1 may play important roles in the invasion process of advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer. Forty-three serous ovarian cancer samples were analyzed. Ten normal peritoneum samples were used as controls.

Project description:Purpose: The majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is diagnosed at advanced stage and has a poor prognosis. A proportion of these patients though will fare well, with a prognosis similar to patients with early stage disease while others die very quickly. Clinicopathological prognostic factors do not allow precise identification of these subgroups. Thus we have validated a molecular subclassification as prognostic factor in EOC. Experimental Design: One hundred ninety-four patients with EOC stage II to IV were characterized by whole-genome expression profiling of tumor tissues and classified using a published 112 gene-set, derived from a FIGO stage directed supervised classification approach. Results: The 194 tumor samples were classified into two subclasses of 95 (subclass 1) and 99 (subclass 2) tumors, grouping all 9 FIGO II tumors in subclass 1 (p=0.001). Subclass 2 (54% of advanced stage tumors) correlated significantly with peritoneal carcinomatosis and non-optimal debulking. Patients with subclass 2 tumors had a worse progression free survival (HR 1.67, p=0.005) by univariate analysis, but it was not an independent factor in multiple analysis. However, overall survival was impaired both, univariate (HR 3.68, p<0.001) and in models corrected for relevant clinicopathologic parameters (HR 3.13, p<0.001). Significance analysis of microarrays revealed 2,115 genes differentially expressed in both subclasses (FDR 5%). Conclusion: In this validation study we showed that in advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer two approximately equally large molecular subtypes exist, independent from classical clinocopathological parameters presenting with highly different whole genome expression profiles and an impressively different overall survival.

Targeted therapies in second line treatment gain more and more importance in managing recurrent or progressive carcinomas, particularly in ovarian cancer, a cancer entity characterized by a very high recurrence rate. One step ahead, it is necessary to define new therapeutic targets and to select patients who might benefit from these therapies already in first line settings. A robust molecular subclassification could provide both, an adequate patient selection and potential new targets. Notably, the validation of such a subclassification is of outstanding importance to obtain a reliable basis for a specific clinical decision and a rational for the expensive development of new targeted therapies. This work provides a comprehensive basis for both. The expression values of 204 epithelial ovarian cancer tissues are determined and used for the validation of a subclassification approach (Cancer Sci. 2009 Aug;100(8):1421-8.)

Project description:Advanced ovarian cancer usually spreads to the omentum. However, the omental cell-derived molecular determinants modulating its progression have not been thoroughly characterized. Transcriptome profiling was performed on microdissected omental adipose tissue obtained from patients with benign gynecologic diseases and on cancer-associated omental tissue obtained from patients with advanced-stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Project description:Biomarkers that predict disease progression might assist the development of better therapeutic strategies for aggressive cancers, such as ovarian cancer. Here, we investigated the role of collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) in cell invasiveness and tumor formation and the prognostic impact of COL11A1 expression in ovarian cancer. Microarray analysis suggested that COL11A1 is a disease progression-associated gene that is linked to ovarian cancer recurrence and poor survival. Whole tumor gene expression profiling was conducted on tissue samples from 60 ovarian cancer patients, and characteristics and clinico-pathological features of the patients are provided. We used several steps to analyze the expression profiles of the samples to identify the genes whose expression values correlate with survival, recurrence and advanced disease stage. First, using hazard ratios from univariate Cox regression analysis, the top 200 survival-related genes were evaluated for intersection with the top 200 recurrence-related genes, and 44 genes were obtained. Second, we examined the 44 genes that met the criteria of fold-change values between advanced stage and early stage samples of greater than 2 or less than 0.5. Ultimately, 17 genes were identified. A heat map of the 17 genes is depicted in the associated publication. Gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses of the 17 genes were performed using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The major cellular component, biological process and molecular function of the 17 genes are associated with the extracellular region, intracellular signaling cascade, and protein binding and bridging, respectively. Two genes, COL11A1 and COL4A6, are involved in ECM-receptor interaction pathways. Notably, COL11A1 displayed the highest fold-change value in ovarian cancer disease progression; therefore, we selected COL11A1 for further experimental analysis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Because of the distinct clinical presentation of early and advanced stage ovarian cancer, we aim to clarify whether these disease entities are solely separated by time of diagnosis or whether they arise from distinct molecular events. METHODS: Sixteen early and sixteen advanced stage ovarian carcinomas, matched for histological subtype and differentiation grade, were included. Genomic aberrations were compared for each early and advanced stage ovarian cancer by array comparative genomic hybridization. To study how the aberrations correlate to the clinical characteristics of the tumors we clustered tumors based on the genomic aberrations. RESULTS: The genomic aberration patterns in advanced stage cancer equalled those in early stage, but were more frequent in advanced stage (p?=?0.012). Unsupervised clustering based on genomic aberrations yielded two clusters that significantly discriminated early from advanced stage (p?=?0.001), and that did differ significantly in survival (p?=?0.002). These clusters however did give a more accurate prognosis than histological subtype or differentiation grade. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that advanced stage ovarian cancer either progresses from early stage or from a common precursor lesion but that they do not arise from distinct carcinogenic molecular events. Furthermore, we show that array comparative genomic hybridization has the potential to identify clinically distinct patients. Sixteen early and sixteen advanced stage ovarian carcinomas

Project description:Prediction of progression-free survival in patients with advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer

Project description:To identify and evaluate the prognostic ability of progression-free survival-related profile for advanced-stage ovarian cancer, advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer tissues from 110 patients who received primary surgery and a platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy were profiled using oligonucleotide microarrays of more than 40,000 transcripts. We first selected 88 genes by a univariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (p<0.01) and next optimized regression coefficients by ridge regression model using 10-fold cross-validation. The prognostic index was independently associated with PFS time compared to other clinical factors in multivariate analysis [hazard ratio (HR), 3.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.66–5.43; p,0.0001]. In an external dataset, multivariate analysis revealed that this prognostic index was significantly correlated with PFS time (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.20–1.98; p = 0.0008). Furthermore, the correlation between the prognostic index and overall survival time was confirmed in the two independent external datasets (log rank test, p = 0.0010 and 0.0008). In multivariable analysis, our prognostic index was independently associated with progression-free survival times compared to other clinical factors (p<0.001). Furthermore, the prognostic ability of our prognostic index was validated in external, publicly available dataset (n = 87), and was proved in multivariate analysis (p = 0.0032). These results suggest that disease progression or recurrence of advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer can be predicted by gene expression profile. The prognostic ability of our index based on the 88-gene expression profile in ridge regression Cox hazard model was shown to be independent of other clinical factors in predicting cancer prognosis across two distinct datasets. Further study will be necessary to improve predictive accuracy of the prognostic index toward clinical application for evaluation of the risk of recurrence in patients with advanced-stage serous ovarian cancer.
