ABSTRACT: We present the first computational approach to reconstruct the sequence of copy number alterations driving carcinogenesis from the analysis of several tumor samples of a same patient. Applied to BAC array-CGH and SNP array data from bladder and breast cancers, this method proved highly valuable to establish the clonal relationships between primary tumors and recurrences and to identify the chromosome aberrations at the initiation of tumorigenesis.

Applied to BAC array-CGH and SNP array data from bladder and breast cancers, this method proved highly valuable to establish the clonal relationships between primary tumors and recurrences and to identify the chromosome aberrations at the initiation of tumorigenesis. An algorithm was developed to reconstruct tumors lineage and the sequence of copy number alterations along tumorigenesis from the analysis of several samples from a same patient. The data here consist in Illumina SNP data from 20 bladder tumors. 15 of these tumors (REF1 to REF15) come from independent samples and were used to compute the frequencies of breakpoints at each location. The 5 other samples (S4_A, S4_B, S5_A, S5_B, and S5_C) are multiple tumors from 2 patients. They were used to reconstruct the sequence of chromosome aberrations along cancer development in these 2 patients.

Keywords: Comparative Genomic Hybridization An algorithm was developed to reconstruct tumors lineage and the sequence of copy number alterations along tumorigenesis from the analysis of several samples from a same patient. The data here consist in CGH data from 58 bladder tumors. 50 of these tumors come from independent samples and were used to compute the frequencies of breakpoints at each location. The 8 other samples (S1_A, S1_B, S2_A, S2_B, S3_A, S3_B, S3_C and S3_D) are multiple tumors from 3 patients. They were used to reconstruct the sequence of chromosome aberrations along cancer development in these 3 patients.

Project description:We demonstrate that, in human bladder cancer, amplification of the E2F3 gene, located at 6p22, is associated with overexpression of its encoded mRNA transcripts and high levels of expression of E2F3 protein. Immunohistochemical analyses of E2F3 protein levels have established that around one-third (33/101) of primary transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder overexpress nuclear E2F3 protein, with the proportion of tumours containing overexpressed nuclear E2F3 increasing with tumour stage and grade. When considered together with the established role of E2F3 in cell cycle progression, these results suggest that the E2F3 gene represents a candidate bladder cancer oncogene that is activated by DNA amplification and overexpression.
