Project description:Retinoblastoma is a rare pediatric tumor of the retina, caused by the homozygous loss of the Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) tumor suppressor gene. Previous microarray studies have identified changes in the expression profiles of coding genes; however, our understanding of how non-coding genes change in this tumor is absent. This is an important area of research, as in many adult malignancies, non-coding genes including LNC-RNAs are used as biomarkers to predict outcome and/or relapse. To establish a complete and in-depth RNA profile, of both coding and non-coding genes, in Retinoblastoma tumors, we conducted RNA-seq from a cohort of tumors and normal retina controls. This analysis identified widespread transcriptional changes in the levels of both coding and non-coding genes. Unexpectedly, we also found rare RNA fusion products resulting from genomic alterations, specific to Retinoblastoma tumor samples. We then determined whether these gene expression changes, of both coding and non-coding genes, were also found in a completely independent Retinoblastoma cohort. Using our dataset, we then profiled the potential effects of deregulated LNC-RNAs on the expression of neighboring genes, the entire genome, and on mRNAs that contain a putative area of homology. This analysis showed that most deregulated LNC-RNAs do not act locally to change the transcriptional environment, but potentially function to modulate genes at distant sites. From this analysis, we selected a strongly down-regulated LNC-RNA in Retinoblastoma, DRAIC, and found that restoring DRAIC RNA levels significantly slowed the growth of the Y79 Retinoblastoma cell line. Collectively, our work has generated the first non-coding RNA profile of Retinoblastoma tumors and has found that these tumors show widespread transcriptional deregulation.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of partially degraded and fragmented RNA samples from retinoblastoma primary tumors. Global gene expression profiling has shown great promise in high-throughput biomarker discovery for early disease detection in Retinoblastoma tumors. In this analysis we have used 3 retinoblastoma primary tumors in triplicates which was normalised against human healthy Retina. Here, we have used nanogram scale of retinoblastoma RNA, processed in HUMAN GENE 1.0 ST ARRAYS. We have analysed the gene expression in 2 normal healthy adult retina collected from cadaveric eyes and 3 retinoblastoma primary tumors

Project description:Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor of the retina which most often occurs in children below 5 years of age with an incident rate of about 1 in 15,000 to 18,000 live births. Retinoblastoma is the first ever cancer that was reported to have a genetic basis. It occurs widely due to inactivating mutations in RB1 gene. Gene expression studies, copy number variation analysis, epigenetic profiling including miRNA and methylation of retinoblastoma has been carried to understand the disease mechanism and key players in the disease. Our group has earlier performed differential proteomics of retinoblastoma to identify proteins of therapeutic importance. However, there are no studies to understand the signalling mechanisms associated with retinoblastoma. Hence, global phosphoproteomics of retinoblastoma was carried out to identify signalling events associated with this cancer. Our study identified stress response proteins to be hyper phosphorylated which included H2AFX and sirtuin 1. In particular, Ser140 of H2AFX also known as gamma-H2AX was found to be hyperphosphorylated in retinoblastoma that indicated activation of DNA damage response pathways. We also observed activation of anti-apoptotic proteins in retinoblastoma compared to control. These observations showed activation of survival pathways and signalling networks activated in tumors.

Project description:Gene expression profiles in retinoblastoma by whole Human Genome DNA microarrays in comparison to the normal retina gave an insight into several genes and pathways that were regulated in the tumor. The upregulated and the downregulated genes were further validated by quantitative real time PCR and tissue microarray (TMA) on retinoblastoma tumors. Theoverall goal is to determine the global gene expression profile in retinoblastoma tumors which is first of its kind on a whole genome microarray. Two coloured microarray:retinoblastoma tumor (4 samples) vs. normal retina (4 samples).

Project description:Retinoblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the developing retina. All retinoblastomas are believed to initiate with biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene. To identify subsequent genetic lesions in retinoblastoma, we performed whole genome sequencing of tumor and normal DNA of 4 children with retinoblastoma and one matched orthotopic xenograft. Both alleles of RB1 were inactivated in the tumor samples. 3 of the patients had sporadic retinoblastoma and one patient had inherited retinoblastoma. Overall, there were few single nucleotide changes in coding regions of the genome and some of the tumors had few chromosomal lesions. There were very few new genetic lesions in the xenograft compared to the primary tumor. These data suggest that the genome in retinoblastoma is more stable than previously believed and there are relatively few recurrent genetic lesions in known cancer pathways other than the RB1 pathway.
