Genome-wide expression analysis of the highly metastatic lung cancer cell line NCI-H460-LNM35

ABSTRACT: Widespread metastasis is the major cause of human lung cancer-related deaths, but there is much to be elucidated about underlying mechanism. Based on the genome-wide expression analysis of the highly metastatic lung cancer cell line NCI-H460-LNM35 (LNM35), we identified a cancer metastasis signature composed of 45 genes with previously uncharacterized features but well-known associations with human cancers including CXCL1, IER3, PTTG1, DAD1, METAP2, E-cadherin and galectin 3. In addition, the 45-gene metastasis signature gene set was significantly associated with a subset of primary tumors with poor prognosis not only in the lung but also the breast.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cancer stem-like cells were isolated from human H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells by limiting dilution assays and by their holoclone morphology, followed by assessment of their self-renewal capacity, tumor growth, vascularity, and tumor blood perfusion. H460 holoclones were used to implant H460 holoclone-derived tumors, which grew slower than parental H460 tumors, but displayed significant increases in microvessel density and tumor blood perfusion. Microarray analysis identified differentially regulated genes in the holoclone-derived tumors, of which many were associated with angiogenesis. The differentially regulated genes include several small leucine-rich proteoglycans that may modulate angiogenesis and serve as novel therapeutic targets for inhibiting cancer stem cell-driven angiogenesis.(Cancer Letters Vol 346, Issue 1, 28 April 2014, Pages 63M-bM-^@M-^S73; PMID: 24334139; PMCID: PMC3947657). Implanted tumors derived from H460 parental cells, or from each of four independent H460 holoclones, were implanted subcutaneously in scid immunodeficient mice. Tumors derived from the 4 holoclones (designated H460/2E1, H460/2H3, H460/3F1, and H460/2E7) were used for global transcriptome/microarray analysis in direct comparison to H460 tumors grown from parental H460 cells. For each H460 holoclone-derived tumor line or H460 parental cell-derived tumor, total RNA was prepared from n=7 to n=10 individual tumors and used to prepare two independent pools of tumor RNA (each pool comprised of RNA isolated n=3-5 tumors) for use in a two color microarray analysis. Tumor RNA pools were prepared by combining equal amounts of RNA from each individual tumor to minimize the impasct of inter-tumoral variation on gene expression profiles. All RNAs had an RNA integrity number >8.0, determined using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 instrument. cDNAs transcribed from pools of RNA for each holoclone-derived tumor line and for each parental H460 cell-derived tumor pool, were labeled with Alexa 647 or Alexa 555 dyes in a fluorescent reverse pair (dye swap) design for competitive hybridization to Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays.

Project description:Background; Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common cause of early casualty from malignant disease in western countries. The heterogeneous nature of these cells has been identified by histochemical and microarray biomarker analyses. Unfortunately, the morphological, molecular and biological variation within cell lines used as models for invasion and metastasis are not well understood. In this study, we test the hypothesis that heterogeneous cancer cells exhibit variable motility responses such as chemokinesis and chemotaxis that can be characterized molecularly. Methods; A subpopulation of H460 lung cancer cells called KINE that migrated under chemokinetic (no gradient) conditions was harvested from Boyden chambers and cultured. Time-lapsed microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy and microarray analyses were then carried out comparing chemokinetic KINE cells with the unselected CON cell population. Results; Time-lapsed microscopy and analysis showed that KINE cells moved faster but less directionally than the unselected control population (CON), confirming their chemokinetic character. Of note was that chemokinetic KINE cells also chemotaxed efficiently. KINE cells were less adhesive to substrate than CON cells and demonstrated loss of mature focal adhesions at the leading edge and the presence of non-focalized cortical actin. These characteristics are common in highly motile amoeboid cells that may favour faster motility speeds. KINE cells were also significantly more invasive compared to CON. Gene array studies and real-time PCR showed the downregulation of a gene called, ROM, in highly chemokinetic KINE compared to mainly chemotactic CON cells. ROM was also reduced in expression in a panel of lung cancer cell lines compared normal lung cells. Conclusions; This study shows that cancer cells that are efficient in both chemokinesis and chemotaxis demonstrate high invasion levels. These cells possess different morphological, cytoskeletal and adhesive properties from another population that are only efficient at chemotaxis, indicating a loss in polarity. Understanding the regulation of polarity in the context of cell motility is important in order to improve control and inhibition of invasion and metastasis.
