Project description:Gene Expression Analysis of Cancer-Associated Fibroblast (CAF) compared to Normal Fibroblast (NF)
| PRJNA241179 | ENA
Project description:Here, we performed proteomics on whole cell lysate of three high-grade serous ovarian cancer patient derived cancer associated fibroblast (CAF) lines, four commercially available high-grade serous ovarian epithelial cancer cell lines (Kuramochi, PEO4, OVCAR8, ES2) and two immortalized normal Fallopian tube secretory epithelial cell lines (FT237, FT194). N-glycoproteomics using hydrazide-based enrichment was performed on 8/9 models. Integration of data from in vitro models with publicly available primary tissue data identified multiple novel CAF proteins that are associated with poor clinical outcomes in HGSC.

Project description:Tumor microenvironment coevolves with and simultaneously sustains cancer progression. Reactive fibroblasts found in prostate cancer (PCa), known as cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF), have been indeed shown to fuel tumor development and metastasis by mutually interacting with PCa cells. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that lead to activation of CAFs from tissue-resident fibroblasts, circulating marrow-derived fibroblast progenitors or mesenchymal stem cells. Through integrated gene and microRNA expression profiling, here we showed that transcriptome of CAFs isolated from prostate tumors strictly resembles that of normal fibroblasts stimulated in vitro with interleukin-6 (IL6), thus confirming the capability of the cytokine to promote acquisition of an activated and cancer-promoting phenotype, and, for the first time, proving that IL6 is able per se to induce all the complex transcriptional changes characteristic of patient-derived CAFs. Comparison with publicly available datasets, however, suggested that prostate CAFs may be alternatively characterized by IL6 and TGF?-related signatures, indicating that either signal, depending on the context, tumor stage and etiology, may concur to fibroblast activation. Our analyses also highlighted pathways relevant for induction of reactive stroma, including genes the role of which in fibroblast activation is still to be explored. In addition, we revealed a role for muscle-specific miR-133b as a soluble factor secreted by activated fibroblasts to support paracrine activation of non-activated fibroblasts or promote tumor progression. Overall, in this study we provided insights on the molecular mechanisms driving fibroblast activation in prostate cancer, thus contributing to identify novel hits for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting the crucial interplay between tumor cells and their microenvironment.

Project description:Primary human gastric cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) cultures (CAF14 and CAF32) were establised from 2 gastrectomy specimens. Silencing the expression (loss-of-function effect) of Twist1 in CAFs showed candidate target genes regulated by Twist1 and abrogated their tumor-promoting properties. Experiment design: two gastric CAFs (CAF14 adn CAF32, respectively) were establised from two gastric cancer patients and Twist1 knockdown studies were performed using shRNA.

Project description:To identify the mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer, we performed the whole transcriptome sequencing. The whole transcriptome sequencing was performed with three breast cancer tissues with or without lymph node metastasis in each group, respectively. The results showed that 728 mRNAs, 131 lncRNAs, and 144 circRNAs were differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis group and no lymph node metastasis group (fold change≥2, p<0.05). These data indicate that dysregulation of mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs may contribute to breast cancer progression.
