Project description:In epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), acquisition of invasiveness is accompanied by the loss of the epithelial features and the gain of a mesenchymal phenotype, a process known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Understanding the regulation of cell behavior during EMT is crucial for identifying the molecular mechanisms of EOC dissemination. Previously we identified the mannose receptor LY75 as the cellular phenotype modulator. LY75 suppression induces the mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET) in EOC cell lines with mesenchymal phenotype. In this study, we used the Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) technology for a comprehensive analysis of DNA methylation alterations during LY75-mediated EMT in EOC cells. Three different comparison (M vs E) combinations were used for RRBS analysis, as further analysis of the sequencing data based on differentially methylated regions (DMRs) covering genes’ exons and promoter regions was indicative for about 10,000 genes displaying DMRs for each of the three experimental combinations. Consecutive Venn diagram analysis of the DMRs data from the of the three experimental combinations revealed 6666 genes, displaying common altered DMRs in their exons/promoter regions, following LY75-mediated EMT alterations in EOC cells. Based on the 6666 gene list, we further proceeded with a more stringent selection of genes displaying rather high degree (>70%) of methylation in their promoter regions and previously shown to be implicated in cancer-related EMT signaling. Our stringent selection retained 45 genes (see Supplemental Table 1E), as the DNA methylation status of the promoter regions of most of these genes was further validated by an alternative approach (BSP sequencing). Ten genes were finally selected, whose promoter DNA methylation pattern coincided with their mRNA and protein expression levels. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are warranted to more completely elucidate the functional implications of these 10 genes in ovarian tumorigenesis.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. On the basis of its histopathology and molecular-genomic changes ovarian cancer has been divided into subtypes, each with distinct biology and outcome. The aim of this study was to develop a panel of patient-derived EOC-xenografts that recapitulate the molecular and biological heterogeneity of human ovarian cancer. Thirty-four EOC-xenografts were successfully established, either subcutaneously or intraperitoneally, in nude mice. The xenografts were histologically similar to the corresponding patient tumor and comprised all the major ovarian cancer subtypes. After orthotopic transplantation in the bursa of the mouse ovary, they disseminate into the organs of the peritoneal cavity and produce ascites, typical of ovarian cancer. Gene expression analysis and mutation status indicated a high degree of similarity with the original patient and discriminate different subsets of xenografts. They were very responsive, responsive and resistant to cisplatin, resembling the clinical situation in ovarian cancer. This panel of patient-derived EOC-xenografts that recapitulate the recently type I and type II classification serves to study the biology of ovarian cancer, identify tumor-specific molecular markers and develop novel treatment modalities.

EOC-xenografts collected from subcutis, abdominal masses and ascitic fluid of mice engrafted with tumors at different passages (from 1 to 6) and from patient specimens, underwent one-color microarray-based gene expression profiling. To assess the amount of human- and mouse-derived cells in the xenograft tumors, total RNA was evaluated by species specific qPCR assays for beta actin. Only samples with a human RNA content > 75% were analyzed. Nine patient specimens and 62 xenograft samples (representing 29 EOC-xenograft models) underwent gene expression analysis with SurePrint G3 Human GE V2 8x60K microarrays.

Project description:Low-grade ovarian serous carcinomas are believed to arise via an adenoma-serous borderline tumor-serous carcinoma sequence. In this study, we found that advanced-stage, low-grade ovarian serous carcinomas both with and without adjacent serous borderline tumor shared similar regions of loss of heterozygosity. We then analyzed 91 ovarian tumor samples for mutations in TP53, BRAF, and KRAS. TP53 mutations were not detected in any serous borderline tumors (n = 30) or low-grade serous carcinomas (n = 43) but were found in 73% of high-grade serous carcinomas (n = 18). BRAF (n = 9) or KRAS (n = 5) mutation was detected in 47% of serous borderline tumors, but among the low-grade serous carcinomas (39 stage III, 2 stage II, and 2 stage I), only one (2%) had a BRAF mutation and eight (19%) had a KRAS mutation. The low frequency of BRAF mutations in advanced-stage, low-grade serous carcinomas, which contrasts with previous findings, suggests that aggressive, low-grade serous carcinomas are more likely derived from serous borderline tumors without BRAF mutation. In addition, advanced-stage, low-grade carcinoma patients with BRAF or KRAS mutation have a better apparent clinical outcome. However, further investigation is needed.

Gene expression analysis was performed on five serous borderline tumors with BRAF mutation and five serous borderline tumors without BRAF mutation randomly. RNA was extracted from microdissected tumor cells. Expression profiling was carried out with Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays

Project description:Purpose: The majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is diagnosed at advanced stage and has a poor prognosis. A proportion of these patients though will fare well, with a prognosis similar to patients with early stage disease while others die very quickly. Clinicopathological prognostic factors do not allow precise identification of these subgroups. Thus we have validated a molecular subclassification as prognostic factor in EOC. Experimental Design: One hundred ninety-four patients with EOC stage II to IV were characterized by whole-genome expression profiling of tumor tissues and classified using a published 112 gene-set, derived from a FIGO stage directed supervised classification approach. Results: The 194 tumor samples were classified into two subclasses of 95 (subclass 1) and 99 (subclass 2) tumors, grouping all 9 FIGO II tumors in subclass 1 (p=0.001). Subclass 2 (54% of advanced stage tumors) correlated significantly with peritoneal carcinomatosis and non-optimal debulking. Patients with subclass 2 tumors had a worse progression free survival (HR 1.67, p=0.005) by univariate analysis, but it was not an independent factor in multiple analysis. However, overall survival was impaired both, univariate (HR 3.68, p<0.001) and in models corrected for relevant clinicopathologic parameters (HR 3.13, p<0.001). Significance analysis of microarrays revealed 2,115 genes differentially expressed in both subclasses (FDR 5%). Conclusion: In this validation study we showed that in advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer two approximately equally large molecular subtypes exist, independent from classical clinocopathological parameters presenting with highly different whole genome expression profiles and an impressively different overall survival.

Targeted therapies in second line treatment gain more and more importance in managing recurrent or progressive carcinomas, particularly in ovarian cancer, a cancer entity characterized by a very high recurrence rate. One step ahead, it is necessary to define new therapeutic targets and to select patients who might benefit from these therapies already in first line settings. A robust molecular subclassification could provide both, an adequate patient selection and potential new targets. Notably, the validation of such a subclassification is of outstanding importance to obtain a reliable basis for a specific clinical decision and a rational for the expensive development of new targeted therapies. This work provides a comprehensive basis for both. The expression values of 204 epithelial ovarian cancer tissues are determined and used for the validation of a subclassification approach (Cancer Sci. 2009 Aug;100(8):1421-8.)
