Project description:We conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to evaluate global DNA methylation in EOC. In a retrospective cohort of 30 HGSOC subtype primary ovarian cancers, we observed that global DNA hypermethylation was preferentially associated with recurrent HGSOC. A total of 2,969 DMPs corresponding to 1,471 genes were involved in olfactory transduction, and calcium and cAMP signaling.

Project description:Most (70%) epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are diagnosed late. Non-invasive biomarkers that facilitate disease detection and predict outcome are needed. The microRNAs (miRNAs) represent a new class of biomarkers. This study was to identify and validate plasma miRNAs as biomarkers in EOC. We evaluated plasma samples of 360 EOC patients and 200 healthy controls from two institutions. All samples were grouped into screening, training and validation sets. We scanned the circulating plasma miRNAs by TaqMan low-density array in the screening set and identified/validated miRNA markers by real-time polymerase chain reaction assay in the training set. Receiver operating characteristic and logistic regression analyses established the diagnostic miRNA panel, which were confirmed in the validationsets. We found higher plasma miR-205 and lower let-7f expression in cases than in controls. MiR-205 and let-7f together provided high diagnostic accuracy for EOC, especially in patients with stage I disease. The combination of these two miRNAs and carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA-125) further improved the accuracy of detection. MiR-483-5p expression was elevated in stages III and IV compared with in stages I and II, which was consistent with its expression pattern in tumor tissues. Furthermore, lower levels of let-7f were predictive of poor prognosis in EOC patients. Our findings indicate that plasma miR-205 and let-7f are biomarkers for ovarian cancer detection that complement CA-125; let-7f may be predictive of ovarian cancer prognosis. We designed a multi-stage, retrospective, nested case-control study to determine whether serum miRNA profiles can be used to predict EOC development. All samples were grouped into screening, training, and validation sets. A total of 560 plasma samples (360 cases and 200 controls) were obtained from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital (TCIH) and Cancer Center of Nanjing Medical University. The cases and controls were well matched for age. The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system was used to stage cases. All patients and controls were genetically unrelated, ethnic Han Chinese women who were permanent residents of the urban area of Tianjin and Nanjing. Controls with cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine diseases were excluded. The study protocols were approved by the Tianjin and Nanjing Center review committees. In screening set, to detect generalizable miRNA signatures, we pooled serum samples of 10 early-stage cases (stage I), 10 late-stage cases (stage IIIc-IV), and 10 healthy controls, respectively, and analyzed these three pool samples using a TaqMan low-density array (TLDA set 2.0, Applied Biosystems) chip screening in the discovery stage. In training set, the miRNAs identified in the screening set were validated using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on individual plasma samples of 76 EOC patients and 30 normal controls. In validation set, the validation set comprised a two-phase process. Promising associations from the screening and training set were evaluated in the validation phase I set, comprising 134 cases and 70 controls from Tianjin Center. The validation phase II set included samples of 77 EOC cases and 50 normal controls were from Tianjin Center and 73 EOC cases and 50 normal controls were from Nanjing Center.

Project description:Early relapse after platinum chemotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) portends poor survival. A-priori identification of platinum-resistance is therefore crucial to improve on standard first-line carboplatin-paclitaxel treatment. The DNA repair pathway Homologous Recombination (HR) repairs platinum-induced damage, and the HR recombinase RAD51 is overexpressed in cancer. We therefore designed a REMARK-compliant study of pre-treatment RAD51 expression in EOC, using fluorescent quantitative immunohistochemistry (qIHC) to overcome challenges in quantitation of protein-expression in-situ. In a discovery cohort (n=284), RAD51-High tumours had shorter progression-free and overall survival compared to RAD51-Low cases in univariate and multivariate analyses. The association of RAD51 with relapse/survival was validated in a carboplatin-monotherapy SCOTROC4 clinical trial cohort (n=264), and was predominantly noted in HR-proficient cancers (Myriad HRDscore<42). Interestingly, overexpression of RAD51 modified expression of immune-regulatory pathways in-vitro, while high-RAD51 tumours showed exclusion of cytotoxic-T-cells in-situ. Our findings highlight RAD51 expression as a determinant of platinum resistance, and suggest possible roles for therapy to overcome immune exclusion in high-RAD51 EOC. The qIHC approach is generalizable to other proteins with a continuum instead of discrete/bimodal expression.

Project description:In this study, 4D data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomic sequencing was performed on exosomes obtained from 58 platinum-sensitive and 30 platinum-resistant patients with EOC. The analysis revealed a notable enrichment of differentially expressed proteins that were predominantly associated with immune-related pathways. Moreover, pivotal immune-related proteins (IRPs) were identified by LASSO regression. These factors, combined with clinical parameters selected through univariate logistic regression, were used for the construction of a model employing multivariate logistic regression.

Project description:In the last decades platinum-based neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been recognized as a reliable therapeutic strategy in patients with un-resectable advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, the molecular changes induced by NACT at miRNA level, and their prognostic role has not been clarified until now. In order to uncover miRNAs that are altered in EOC tumor which received NACT, we performed whole-miRNA analysis on 82 FIGO Stage IIIC-IV high-grade serous (HGS) tumors, whose samples had been collected at complete primary debulking (PDS) and at interval-debulking surgery (IDS) after fter 4 courses of NACT.

Project description:The development of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy remains the unsurmountable obstacle in cancer treatment and consequently leads to tumor relapse. This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which loss of RBMS3 induced chemoresistance in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Experimental design: Fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunochemistry were used to determine deletion frequency and expression of RBMS3 in 15 clinical EOC tissues and 150 clinicopathologically characterized EOC specimens. The effects of RBMS3 deletion and CBP/β-catenin antagonist PRI-724 in chemoresistance were examined by clone formation and Annexin V assays in vitro, and by intraperitoneal tumor model in vivo. The mechanism by which RBMS3 loss sustained activation of miR-126-5p/β-catenin/CBP signaling and the effects of RBMS3 and miR-126-5p competitively regulating DKK3, AXIN1, BACH1 and NFAT5 was explored using CLIP-seq (PRJNA484809), RIP, electrophoretic mobility shift and immunoblotting immunofluorescence assays. Results: Loss of RBMS3 in EOC was correlated with the overall and relapse-free survival. Genetic ablation of RBMS3 significantly enhanced, whereas restoration of RBMS3 reduced, the chemoresistance ability of EOC cells both in vitro and in vivo. RBMS3 inhibited β-catenin/CBP signaling through directly associating with and stabilizing multiple negative regulators, including DKK3, AXIN1, BACH1 and NFAT5, via competitively preventing the miR-126-5p-mediated repression of these transcripts. Importantly, co-therapy of CBP/β-catenin antagonist PRI-724 induced sensitization of RBMS3-deleted EOC to platinum therapy. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that genetic ablation of RBMS3 contributes to chemoresistance and PRI-724 may serve as a potential tailored treatment for patients with RBMS3-deleted EOC.

Project description:DNA methylation patterns in chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) might offer new insights into disease pathogenesis. To assess methylation profiles in the main COPD target organ, we performed an epigenome-wide association study on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells. Bronchoscopies were performed in 18 COPD subjects and 15 controls (ex- and current smokers). DNA methylation was measured with Illumina MethylationEPIC BeadChip covering >850,000 CpGs. Differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were examined for 1) enrichment in pathways and functional gene relationships using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology; 2) accelerated aging using Horvath’s epigenetic clock; 3) correlation with gene expression; and 4) colocalization with genetic variation. We found 1,155 Bonferroni significant (P < 6.74 × 10-8) DMPs associated with COPD, many with large effect sizes. Functional analysis identified biologically plausible pathways and gene relationships, including enrichment for transcription factor activity. Strong correlation was found between DNA methylation and chronological age, but not between COPD and accelerated aging. For 79 unique DMPs, DNA methylation correlated significantly with gene expression in BAL cells. Thirty-nine percent of DMPs were co-localized with COPD-associated SNPs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first EWAS of COPD on BAL cells, and our analyses revealed many differential methylation sites. Integration with mRNA data showed a strong functional readout for relevant genes, identifying sites where DNA methylation might directly impact expression. Almost half of DMPs were co-located with SNPs identified in previous GWAS of COPD, suggesting joint genetic and epigenetic pathways related to disease.
