Project description:Punch biopsies from patients with cSCC (n=3) and non-lesional skin (n=3) were included in the study. Microarray based circRNA expression profiles were acquired using Arraystar circRNA Arrays V. 2.0 screening for 13.617 distinct human circRNA candidates. We identified circRNAs differentially expressed in cSCC compared to non-lesional skin (control).

Project description:Although most cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) develop from actinic keratoses (AK), the key events for this evolution remain unclear. We have combined the results of different genomic and expression array platforms on matched samples of sun-exposed skin, AK and cSCC from ten immunocompetent patients, with the objective of better understanding the mechanisms involved in this progression. Gene expression analysis and copy number alterations were assessed using GeneChip Human Gene 2.0 ST Array® (Affymetrix ) and CytoScan HD Cytogenetics Solution® (Affymetrix) platforms, respectively. Integration of genome and transcriptome results was evaluated using the DR-Integrator tool. Additional studies (qPCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot) were performed for selected genes. Twenty-two genes showed a progressive expression spectrum from clinically normal sun-exposed skin samples to cSCC. FOSL1 and BNC1 encode transcription factors whose expression was increased in cSCC in the expression array and the qPCR. By immunohistochemistry, FOSL1 showed an intense staining at the invasive front of cSCC samples and BNC1 expression varied from a nuclear location (sun-exposed skin) to a cytoplasmic location (cSCC). Western blot analyses confirmed the enhancement of FOSL1 and BNC1 expression. Additionally, the smallest overlapping regions of genomic imbalance (SORIs) involving at least 3 of the samples of each group (sun-exposed skin, AK or cSCC) were selected. One of the SORIs was a deletion in the p24.1 band of chromosome 3, shared by 7 of the cSCC. A strong correlation in the integration analysis was found for NEK10, a gene contained in the previously mentioned SORI. Loss of NEK10 expression in cSCC was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and western blot analyses. In conclusion, our findings suggest that FOSL1 may play a role in promoting the cSCC invasion ability. We have also identified two additional genes, NEK10 and BNC1, which could also act as tumor drivers.

Project description:The incidence of keratinocyte-derived skin cancer, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is increasing worldwide making it the second most common metastatic skin cancer. In this project we used SOLiD next generation sequencing to characterize gene expression profiles in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and cSCC cell lines. Total RNAs from normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) (n=4) and cSCC cell lines (n=8) were extracted. The samples were sequenced using SOLiD next generation sequencing.

Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the leading cause of death in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) patients but remains poorly studied on a proteomic level. We aim to characterize the RDEB-SCC proteome by comparing it to the proteomes of UV-light induced cSCC of non-aggressive and aggressive behavior with which RDEB cSCC share either the well-differentiated morphology or the aggressive behavior, respectively. We applied a direct trypsinization protocol using an acid labile surfactant and label-free quantitation to study formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from patients with RDEB cSCC (n=6), low-risk cSCC (n=5) and metastasizing cSCC (n=13) by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry.

Project description:Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) are among the most common and highly mutated human malignancies, with rising incidence rates. There are limited treatment options for advanced and metastatic cSCC and particularly high-risk groups, such as organ transplant recipients, are in urgent need for strategies to treat aggressive cSCC. We have previously developed a preclinical murine model for cSCC, with remarkably similar histopathology and genetics to human cSCC. Understanding the impact of DNA methylation in cSCC may provide avenues to develop new treatment or prevention strategies. Here, we perform reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing based DNA methylation analysis of a murine cSCC model (6 tumors, 6 controls, 2 independent healthy skin samples) and compare results with publicly available human cSCC methylation data for two cSCC subtypes, stem-cell like and keratinocyte like tumors. Results: Contrasting most cancers, general DNA hypermethylation was previously reported for high-risk human cSCC. Similarly, we found significantly increased average methylation in mouse cSCC as well as in stem-cell like, but not keratinocyte like, human cSCC. Locus specific methylation changes in mouse cSCC often occurred in regions of potential regulatory function, including enhancers and promoters. One differentially methylated region was located in a potential enhancer of the tumor suppressor gene Filip1l and expression of this gene was significantly reduced in mouse tumors and human cSCC cell lines. Furthermore, comparison of differentially methylated genes revealed remarkable similarities between human and mouse cSCC. Conclusion: Our data suggest that, in addition to mutations, deregulation of DNA methylation is an important feature of murine and human cSCC. DNA methylation likely contributes to silencing of tumor suppressor genes, as shown for the Filip1l gene. The similarities between mouse and human cSCC, particularly stem-cell like, highlight the clinical relevance of our model and presents unique opportunities to identify new treatment strategies.

Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States each year. Despite a generally good prognosis, metastatic cSCC results in over 3500 deaths annually. There are no specifically targeted therapies or biomarkers for metastatic cSCC. To determine whether aberrant microRNA expression occurs in metastatic cSCC which could provide novel targets for therapy or biomarkers for earlier diagnosis or prognosis, microRNA expression profiling was performed in 48 samples including normal skin, primary tumors and metastases. Multiple microRNAs showed differential expression; miR-4286, miR-200a-3p and miR-148-3p showed increased expression and miR-1915-3p, miR-205-5p, miR-4516 and miR-150-5p showed reduced expression in metastatic samples. Several microRNAs previously showing aberrant expressionshown to be aberrantly expressed in primary cSCCs were also observed in this study including miR-100, miR-135b, miR-145, miR-21, and miR-214. In summary, several microRNAs show differential expression between primary and metastatic cSCCs; these may be useful as biomarkers for metastasis or as targets for therapytherapeutic targets.
