Dual role of GRHL3 in bladder carcinogenesis is associated with histological subtypes

ABSTRACT: Grainyhead-like transcription factor 3 (GRHL3) is known to affect cancer development depending on subtypes in various entities. Here, we analyzed the subtype-specific role of GRHL3 in bladder carcinogenesis comparing common urothelial carcinoma (UC) with squamous bladder cancers (sq-BLCA). We examined GRHL3 mRNA and protein expression in cohorts of patient samples, its prognostic role as well as its functional impact on tumorigeneses in different molecular and histopathological subtypes of bladder cancer. We showed for GRHL3 a reverse expression in squamous and urothelial bladder cancer subtypes. Stably GRHL3 overexpressing EJ28 and SCaBER in vitro models revealed a tumor suppressive function in squamous and a oncogenic role in the urothelial cancer cells affecting cell migratory and invasive capacities. Transcriptomic profiling demonstrated highly subtype specific GRHL3 regulated expression networks coined by enrichment of genes involved in integrin mediated pathways. In SCaBER loss of RhoA GTPase activity was demonstrated associated with co-regulation of EIF4E3, a potential tumor suppressor gene. Thus, our data provide for the first time a detailed insight into the role of the transcription factor GRHL3 in different histopathological subtypes of bladder cancer.

Project description:[original title] Combined gene expression and genomic profiling define two intrinsic molecular subtypes of urothelial carcinoma and gene signatures for molecular grading and outcome. In the present investigation we sought to refine the classification of urothelial carcinoma by combining information on gene expression, genomic, and gene mutation levels. For these purposes we performed gene expression analysis of 144 carcinomas, and whole genome array-CGH analysis and mutation analyses of FGFR3, PIK3CA, KRAS, HRAS, NRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, and TSC1, in 103 of these cases. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified two intrinsic molecular subtypes, MS1 and MS2, which were validated and defined by the same set of genes in three independent bladder cancer data sets. The two subtypes differed with respect to gene expression and mutation profiles, as well as with the level of genomic instability. The data shows that genomic instability was the most distinguishing genomic feature of MS2 tumors, and that this trait was not dependent on TP53/MDM2 alterations. By combining molecular and pathological data it was possible to distinguish two molecular subtypes of Ta and T1 tumors, respectively. In addition, we define gene signatures validated in two independent data sets that classify urothelial carcinoma into low (G1/G2) and high grade (G3) tumors as well as non-muscle and muscle-invasive tumors with high precisions and sensitivities, suggesting molecular grading as a relevant complement to standard pathological grading. We also present a gene expression signature with independent prognostic impact on metastasis and disease specific survival. We conclude that the combination of molecular and histopathological classification systems may provide a strong improvement for bladder cancer classification and produce new insights into the development of this tumor type. 144 bladder cancer tumor samples and 12 normal samples were analyzed on 2-color cDNA or oligo microarrays using the Stratagene Universal Human Reference RNA as the common reference sample. 24 samples are hybridized to both the cDNA and oligo platform and these were used for merging of data from the two different gene expression platforms into a single expression matrix and for subsequent evaluation steps. The merged gene expression matrix used for analyses is supplied as a supplementary file (at the foot of this record). 103 of the samples were also analyzed on a BAC array containing ~32 000 BAC clones. Arrays were produced at the Swegene Centre for Integrative Biology at Lund University (SCIBLU).
