Project description:Epigenetic dysregulation is one of the molecular mechanisms contributing to retinoblastoma (RB) development. Consistent with this notion, human RB tumors show an aberrant expression of many chromatin regulators whereas normal retina or nontumoral retinal tissues do not have any detectable expression of such proteins. Among the chromatin regulators found to be misregulated in RB, this study focuses on a histone methyltransferase DOT1L to assess the therapeutic potential of its targeting for RB treatment. We found that pharmacological inhibition of DOT1L has growth-inhibitory effects on RB cells by itself and also can sensitize RB cells to standard chemotherapeutic drugs by inducing more robust apoptotic cell death when cells are subjected to combination treatments. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the growth inhibition and chemosensitization of RB cells upon DOT1L inhibition, we performed the gene expression profiling in Y79 cells treated with a DOT1L inhibitor EPZ5676 in comparison with a vehicle control by RNA-sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes. Our RNA-seq results revealed that DOT1L inhibition downregulates several genes which are known to be misregulated in cancers, including HMGA2.

Project description:Aggresome is a para nuclear inclusion body that functions as a storage compartment for misfolded proteins. Our previous work revealed the presence of aggresomes in pediatric choroid plexus tumors (CPT). CPTs are rare neoplasms comprised of three pathological subgroups; choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), a grade III tumor, atypical choroid plexus papilloma (ACPP), a grade II tumor, and choroid plexus papilloma (CPP), a grade I tumor. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of aggresomes-positivity and its correlation to the pathological and molecular subtypes. The proteomics profiling of 21 CPT pediatric samples was investigated using ABSciex Triple TOF 5600+ mass spectrometer.

Project description:Chemotherapy of retinoblastoma (RB), a malignant ocular childhood disease, is often limited by the development of resistances against commonly used drugs. We identified inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) as a differentially regulated gene in etoposide resistant RB cell lines, potentially involved in the development of RB resistances. INPP4B is controversially discussed as a tumor suppressor and an oncogenic driver in various cancers, but its role in retinoblastoma in general and chemoresistant RB in particular is yet unknown. In the study presented, we investigated the expression of INPP4B in RB cell lines and patients and analyzed the effect of INPP4B overexpression on etoposide resistant RB cell growth in vitro and in vivo. INPP4B mRNA levels were significantly downregulated in RB cells lines compared to the healthy human retina, with even lower expression levels in etoposide resistant compared to the sensitive cell lines. Besides, a significant increase in INPP4B expression was observed in chemotherapy treated RB tumor patient samples compared to untreated tumors. INPP4B overexpression in etoposide resistant RB cells resulted in a significant reduction in cell viability with reduced growth, proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and in ovo tumor formation. Caspase-3/7 mediated apoptosis was concomitantly increased, suggesting a tumor suppressive role of INPP4B in chemoresistant RB cells. No changes in AKT signalling were discernible, but p-SGK3 levels increased following INPP4B overexpression, indicating a potential regulation of SGK3 signalling in etoposide-resistant RB cells. RNAseq analysis of INPP4B overexpressing, etoposide resistant RB cell lines revealed differentially regulated genes involved in cancer progression, mirroring observed in vitro and in vivo effects of INPP4B overexpression and strengthening INPP4B`s importance for cell growth control and tumorigenicity.

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 (Rb) is the most common intraocular tumor in childhood and represent a very robust model about hereditary develop for cancer. We believe that miRNome expression may give clues to understanding Rb heterogeneity and to comprehend biological features in order to find new biomarkers for better treatments. We explore 12 Rb tumors from enucleated patients with no chemotherapy history from Children Hospital of Mexico Federico Gomez and Pediatric Hospital Medical Center XXI century by informed parental consent to collaborate with retrospective research. 5 bilateral and 7 unilateral, 4 female and 8 male samples were tailed and labeled with biotin to hybridize in GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Affymetrix array. Chips were washed and scanned 18hrs after hybridization.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is an intraocular childhood tumor which, if left untreated, leads to blindness and mortality. Nucleolin (NCL) protein which is differentially expressed on the tumor cell surface, binds ligands and regulates carcinogenesis and angiogenesis. We found that NCL is over expressed in RB tumor tissues and cell lines compared to normal retina. We studied the effect of nucleolin-aptamer (NCL-APT) to reduce proliferation in RB tumor cells. Aptamer treatment on the RB cell lines (Y79 and WERI-Rb1) led to significant inhibition of cell proliferation. Locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified NCL-APT administered subcutaneously (s.c.) near tumor or intraperitoneally (i.p.) in Y79 xenografted nude mice resulted in 26 and 65% of tumor growth inhibition, respectively. Downregulation of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, tumor miRNA-18a, altered serum cytokines, and serum miRNA-18a levels were observed upon NCL-APT treatment. Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI MS)-based imaging of cell lines and tumor tissues revealed changes in phosphatidylcholines levels upon treatment. Thus, our study provides proof of concept illustrating NCL-APT-based targeted therapeutic strategy and use of DESI MS-based lipid imaging in monitoring therapeutic responses in RB.
