Project description:As controversy remains as to the exact mechanisms by which the thymidine-analogue nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, zidovudine (AZT) and stavudine (d4T) induce subcutaneous adipose tissue toxicity, we used microarrays to dentify patterns of gene expression in human subcutaneous adipose tissue that change as a result of exposure to these drugs for 2 weeks. Paired RNA samples (baseline and week 2), isolated from the adipose tissue of HIV-uninfected healthy adults randomized to 6 weeks of either AZT/ lamivudine (3TC) or d4T/ 3TC were analysed by microarray.

Project description:Objective: to compare changes in gene expression by microarray from subcutaneous adipose tissue from HIV treatment naïve patients treated with efavirenz based regimens containing abacavir (ABC), tenofavir (TDF) or zidovidine (AZT). There were significant divergence between ABC and the other two groups 6 months after treatment in genes controlling cell adhesion and environmental information processin, with some convergence at 18 months. Compared to HIV negative controls the ABC group, but not AZT or TDF, showed enrichment of genes controlling adherence junction at six months and 184 months (adjusted p <0.05), and cell matrix adhesion (adjusted p<3.4E-0.5) at 6 months. Tight junction (p=0.03), gap junction (p<0.05) and leukocyte transendothelial migration (p=0.03) were over-expressed in ABC compared to TDF at 6 m. Enrichment pathways and individual genes controlling cell adhesion and environmental information processing were specifically dysregulated in the ABC group compared with the other treatments, There was little difference between AZT and TDF. Conclusion: After initiating treatment, there is divergence in the expression of genes controlling cell adhesion and environmental information processing between ABC and both TDF and AZT in subcutaneous adipose tissue. If similar changes are taking place in other tissues including the coronary vasculature, they may contribute to the observed increased risk of cardiovascular events reported in patients recently started on abacavir-containing regimens.

Both groups also received efavirenz. Patients were tested before treatment (AZT n=15, TDF n=16) and at 6 (AZT n=9, TDF n=12) and 18-24 (AZT n= 8, TDF n=9) months after starting therapy. Tests included extensive biochemical tests, tests of body fat distribution and subcutaneous fat biopsies. 15 HIV negative patients were similarly tested. Patients and controls were matched for age, ethnicity, gender, weight, BMI, pretreatment CD4 count, viral load, and family history of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In a second part of the study patients on their initial antiretroviral regimen containihg abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine plus efavirenz for 6 months (n=9) and 184 months (n=10) were similarly tested. the ABC-treated group were matched in all the listed characteristice with the other two groups. None of the patients had ever experienced an AIDS-defining disease or developed lipodystrophy over the study period. Fat biopsies were snap frozen until assayed. Microarray methods: RNA was extracted for microarray and array data generated using a Qiagen RNeasy Lipid Tissue Mini Kit. Total RNA was converted into labeled cDNA using the WT-Ovation Pico RNA Amplification System and samples were hybridized to an Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K (AMADID 014850, Agilent Technologies). The Agilent arrays were scanned with the Agilent Technologies DNA Microarray Scanner G2505C with default settings. Scanned images were extracted and initial quality control performed in Agilent Feature Extraction (AFE) software version 10.7.3.1. Additional quality assessment was performed using the R arrayQualityMetrics package. As no major experimental problems could be detected, all microarrays were included in subsequent analysis steps. The dataset was read into R and processed using the Agi4x44PreProcess package with options to use the AFE Processed Signal as foreground signal and BG Used signal as background adjusted signal. The data were then normalized by the quantile method using the limma function normalize Between Arrays. Probeset filtering was performed using the Agi4x44PreProcess filter method using AFE provided flags to identify features with quantification errors of the signal, reducing the 45,015 features on the Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K array by 38%, or 17,264 features. Residual technical batch effects were corrected using the ComBat method implemented in the SVA R package.Since patients were not randomised to the ABC treatment all samples were treated as unrelated. Gene expression differences between treatment arms were assessed using the linear modeling features implemented in the limma package in R. Multiple testing across contrasts was performed using the limma global method with Benjamini-Hochberg approach for control of false discovery rate (FDR). Gene set enrichment analysis of GO terms and KEGG pathways was performed using the conditional hypergeometric test implemented in the GOstats R package. Statistical significance of gene set enrichment was performed using the Benjamini-Hochberg correction method implemented in the EMA R package .

Project description:Activation of endogenous retrotransposons frequently occurs in cancer cells and contributes to tumor genomic instability. To test whether inhibition of retrotranspositions has an anticancer effect, we used treatment with the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) stavudine in mouse cancer models, MMTV-HER2/Neu and Th-MYCN, that spontaneously develop breast cancer and neuroblastoma, respectively. In both cases, stavudine in drinking water did not affect tumor incidence nor demonstrate any direct antitumor effects. However, stavudine dramatically extended progression-free survival in both models following an initial complete response to chemotherapy. To approach the mechanism underlying this phenomenon, we analyzed the effect of NRTI on the selection of treatment-resistant variants in tumor cells in culture. Cultivation of mouse breast carcinoma 4T1 in the presence of stavudine dramatically reduced the frequency of cells capable of surviving treatment with anticancer drugs. Global transcriptome analysis demonstrated that the acquisition of drug resistance by 4T1 cells was accompanied by an increase in the constitutive activity of interferon type I and NF-B pathways and an elevated expression of LINE-1 elements, which are known to induce inflammatory responses via their products of reverse transcription. Treatment with NRTI reduced NF-B activity and reverted drug resistance. Furthermore, the inducible expression of LINE-1 stimulated inflammatory response and increased the frequency of drug resistant variants in a tumor cell population. These results indicate a new mechanism by which retrotransposon desilencing can stimulate tumor cell survival during treatment and suggest reverse transcriptase inhibition as a potential new therapeutic approach for targeting the development of drug resistant cancers.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) are critical effectors of emerging cancer immunotherapies designed to activate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). A challenge in the clinical translation of these new immuno-modulatory agents is the lack of pharmacodynamic biomarkers indicative of increased intratumoral IFN signaling following PRR activation. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging enables the visualization of tissue metabolic activity but whether IFN signaling-induced alterations in tumor cell metabolism can be detected using PET has not been investigated. We found that IFN signaling augments pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell nucleotide metabolism via transcriptional induction of metabolism-associated genes including thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP). TYMP catalyzes the first step in the catabolism of thymidine which competitively inhibits intratumoral accumulation of the nucleoside analog PET probe [18F]-fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT). Accordingly, IFN treatment stimulates cancer cell [18F]FLT uptake in the presence of thymidine and this effect is dependent on TYMP expression. In vivo, genetic activation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING), a PRR widely expressed in PDAC, enhances the [18F]FLT avidity of xenograft tumors. Treatment with a small molecule STING agonist triggers IFN signaling-dependent TYMP expression in PDAC cells and enhances both subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor [18F]FLT uptake in vivo following systemic treatment. These findings indicate that [18F]FLT accumulation in tumors is sensitive to IFN signaling and that [18F]FLT PET may serve as a novel pharmacodynamic biomarker for PRR agonist-based immunotherapies in PDAC and possibly other malignancies characterized by elevated STING expression.
