Project description:The spontaneous pulmonary metastasis model of human uterine sarcoma was established using GFP-expressed MES-SA cells. Several sublines with different metastatic potentials were generated by in vivo passaging. We used microarrays to identify the metastatic-related genes using the orthotopic tumors with different metastatic potentials. Orthotopic transplanted uterine sarcoma were observed after 3 weeks post-transplantation and the xenografted tumor reached about 2000 mm3 in additional 3 weeks. After 6 weeks post-transplantation, the animals were sacrificed under isoflurane anesthesia, and the tumors were resected. The GFP-positive regions were collected using Leica MZ10F fluorescent stereomicroscope. This study compared the gene expression profiling between the orthotopic tumors with high (H)- and low (L)-metastatic potentials.

Project description:Patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) typically succumb to their disease months after diagnosis despite aggressive therapy. A large percentage of ATCs have been shown to harbor the V600E B-Raf point mutation, leading to the constitutive activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. ATC invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis are in part dependent on the gelatinase class of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). The explicit targeting of these two tumor markers may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ATC. The MMP-activated anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx), a novel recombinant protein toxin combination, shows potent mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway inhibition in gelatinase-expressing V600E B-Raf tumor cells in vitro. However, preliminary in vivo studies showed that the MMP-activated LeTx also exhibited dramatic antitumor activity against xenografts that did not show significant antiproliferative responses to the LeTx in vitro. Here, we show that the MMP-activated LeTx inhibits orthotopic ATC xenograft progression in both toxin-sensitive and toxin-resistant ATC cells via reduced endothelial cell recruitment and subsequent tumor vascularization. This in turn translates to an improved long-term survival that is comparable with that produced by the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib. Our results also indicate that therapy with the MMP-activated LeTx is extremely effective against advanced tumors with well-established vascular networks. Taken together, these results suggest that the MMP-activated LeTx-mediated endothelial cell targeting is the primary in vivo antitumor mechanism of this novel toxin. Therefore, the MMP-activated LeTx could be used not only in the clinical management of V600E B-Raf ATC but potentially in any solid tumor.

Project description:The E3 SUMO ligase PIAS2 is expressed at high levels in differentiated papillary thyroid carcinomas but at low levels in anaplastic thyroid carcinomas (ATC), an undifferentiated cancer with very high mortality. Double-stranded RNA–directed RNA interference (dsRNAi) targeting the PIAS2 isoform beta (PIAS2b) inhibits growth of ATC cell lines and patient primary cultures in vitro and orthotopic patient-derived xenografts (oPDX) in vivo, but not of thyroid cell lines or non-anaplastic primary thyroid cultures (differentiated carcinoma, benign lesions, or normal). PIAS2b-dsRNAi also has an anti-cancer effect on other anaplastic human cancers (pancreas, lung, and gastric). Mechanistically, PIAS2b is required for proper mitotic spindle and centrosome assembly, and it is a dosage-sensitive protein in ATC. Strikingly, PIAS2b-dsRNAi induces mitotic catastrophe at prophase. High-throughput proteomics revealed the proteasome (PSMC5) and spindle cytoskeleton as direct targets of PIAS2b SUMOylation at mitotic initiation. PIAS2b-dsRNAi is a promising therapy for ATC and other aggressive anaplastic cancers.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an aggressive and highly lethal disease with poor outcomes and resistance to therapy. Despite multimodality treatment, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy, response rates remain <15%, with a median time to progression of less than three months. Recent advances in radiotherapy (RT) delivery and gene-expression profiling may help guide patient selection for personalized therapy. The purpose of this study was to characterize the response to radiation in a panel of ATC cell lines and to test alternative RT fractionation schedules for overcoming radioresistance. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The cellular response to radiation was characterized based on clonogenic assays. Radiation response was correlated with microarray gene-expression data. Hypofractionated and conventional RT was tested in an orthotopic ATC tumor model, and tumor growth was assayed locally and distantly with in vivo and ex vivo bioluminescence imaging. RESULTS:A spectrum of radiosensitivities was observed in ATC cell lines. Radioresistant cell lines had higher levels of CXCR4 compared to radiosensitive cell lines. Compared to conventionally fractionated RT, hypofractionated RT resulted in significantly improved tumor growth delay, decreased regional and distant metastases, and improved overall survival. CONCLUSIONS:The findings demonstrate the heterogeneity of response to radiation in ATC tumors and the superiority of hypofractionated RT in improving local control, metastatic spread, and survival in preclinical models. These data support the design of clinical trials targeting radioresistant pathways in combination with hypofractionated RT.

Project description:Congenital hypothyroidism from thyroid dysgenesis (CHTD) is a sporadic disease characterized by defects in the differentiation, migration or growth of thyroid tissue. Of these defects, incomplete migration resulting in ectopic thyroid tissue is the most common (up to 80%). We obtained flashfrozen samples of ectopic thyroid tissue removed from 3 girls aged 8, 10 and 15 yr, because it caused local symptoms. For comparison, we used orthotopic thyroid tissue from a Caucasian female, age 68 with gall bladder cancer. Analysis of transcriptome revealed up to 1011 genes more than twofold induced or repressed.

Microarray hybridization was performed on three independent pairs of ectopic thyroids (one pair performed in duplicate) compared to control thyroid tissue. After amplification and labelling, sample pairs were hybridized onto Human Exonic Evidence Based Oligonucleotide HEEBO slides (Stanford Functional Genomics Facility, CA). The oligonucleotide set consists of 44544 70-mer probes that were designed using a transcriptome-based annotation of exonic structure for genomic loci. Hybridizations were replicated with dye swap.

Project description:The thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRβ), a key regulator of cellular growth and differentiation, is frequently dysregulated in cancers. Diminished expression of TRb is noted in thyroid, breast, and other solid tumors and is correlated with more aggressive disease. Restoration of TRb levels decreased tumor growth supporting the concept that TRb could function as a tumor suppressor. Yet, the TRb tumor suppression transcriptome is not well delineated and the impact of TRb is unknown in aggressive anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). Here, we establish that restoration of TRb expression in the human ATC cell line SW1736 (SW-TRβ) reduces the aggressive phenotype, decreases cancer stem-cell populations and induces cell death in a T3-dependent manner. Transcriptomic analysis of SW-TRβ cells via RNA-sequencing revealed distinctive expression patterns induced by ligand-bound TRβ and revealed novel molecular signaling pathways. Of note, liganded TRβ repressed multiple nodes in the PI3K/AKT pathway, induced expression of thyroid differentiation markers, and promoted pro-apoptotic pathways. Our results further revealed the JAK1-STAT1 pathway as a novel, T3-mediated, anti-tumorigenic pathway that can be activated in additional ATC lines. These findings elucidate a TRb-driven tumor suppression transcriptomic signature, highlight unexplored therapeutic options for ATC, and support TRb activation as a promising therapeutic option in cancers.
