Project description:Less than half of all patients with advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSC) survive more than five years post-diagnosis but those who have an exceptionally long survival could provide new insights into tumor biology and therapeutic approaches. We analyzed 60 patients with advanced-stage, HGSC who survived more than 10 years after diagnosis using whole-genome sequencing, transcriptome, and methylome profiling of their primary tumor samples, comparing this data to 66 short- or moderate-term survivors. Tumors of long-term survivors were more likely to have multiple alterations in genes associated with DNA repair, and more frequent somatic variants resulting in an increased predicted neoantigen load. Patients clustered into survival groups based on genomic and immune cell signatures, including three subsets of patients with BRCA1 alterations with distinctly different outcomes. Specific combinations of germline and somatic gene alterations, tumor cell phenotypes, and differential immune responses appear to contribute to long-term survival in HGSC. Methylation profiling was done on 58 high grade serous ovarian cancer samples, 53 of which were primary tumors and and 5 were relapse tumors. 73 primary tumors from GSE65820 were also used as part of the cohort.

Project description:Long-term toxicities caused by cancer treatments have recently gained increasing recognition due to a steadily growing population of cancer survivors. Radiotherapy (RT) is a common treatment known to unintentionally harm surrounding normal tissues including the skin, hindering wound healing even years after treatment. Our study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these late-onset adverse effects caused by RT. By comparing paired skin biopsies from previously irradiated (RT+) and non-irradiated (RT-) sites in breast cancer survivors who underwent RT years ago, we discovered compromised wound healing capacity and impaired fibroblast functions in the RT+ skin. By employing ATAC-seq, we identified altered chromatin landscapes in RT+ fibroblasts, pinpointing THBS1 as a crucial epigenetically primed wound repair-related gene. Further confirmation of THBS1's significance during wound repair came from single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomic analysis of human wounds. Remarkably, heightened and sustained THBS1 expression was observed in RT+ fibroblasts in both mouse and human radiation wound models, leading to impaired fibroblast motility and contractility. Encouragingly, our study found that treatment with anti-THBS1 antibodies promoted ex vivo wound closure in RT+ skin from breast cancer survivors. These findings indicate that dermal fibroblasts retain a long-term radiation memory recorded in the form of epigenetic changes. Targeting this maladaptive epigenetic memory shows promise for mitigating the late-onset adverse effects caused by RT, offering potential solutions to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors.

Project description:Millions of sepsis survivors annually face long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae of their illness. Corticosteroids are frequently administered in sepsis, and their use affects neuropsychiatric outcomes, but the mechanisms are unknown. We used the cecal ligation and puncture method to induce acute infection in mice and test the hypothesis that corticosteroid treatment during illness has long-term effects on hippocampal function. Functional phenotyping and hippocampal RNA-sequencing were performed in the same survivor mice to identify underlying mechanisms of behavioral and neuroendocrine outcomes. Long-term CLP survivors exhibited anxiety-like behavior, increased central hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, and persistent systemic and neuro-inflammation. The relationship between gene expression and behavior suggested a protective role for inflammation and oxidative metabolism after CLP. Corticosterone treatment during illness had distinct effects on hippocampal function in survivors, including object memory impairment. The long-term behavioral effects of corticosterone treatment were associated with persistent downregulation of activity-dependent gene expression in the hippocampus. The results suggest that corticosteroid treatment for sepsis influences hippocampal function in survivors via long-lasting changes to basal hippocampal activity. Neural activity, inflammation, and oxidative metabolism should be explored as future treatment targets to modify neuropsychiatric outcomes in sepsis survivors.

Project description:Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most frequent complaints among breast cancer survivors, with a major negative impact on general life. However, the etiology behind this syndrome is still unraveled. Gene expression analysis was performed on whole blood samples from breast cancer survivors classified as either fatigued or non-fatigued at two consecutive time points. The analysis identified several gene sets concerning plasma and B cell pathways as different between the fatigue and non-fatigue groups, suggesting that a deregulation in these pathways might underlie the fatigue syndrome. The fatigue group also showed a higher mean level of leucocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophiles compared with the non-fatigue group, thus further implicating the immune system in the biology behind the fatigue syndrome. Keywords: Blood RNA and late side effects Breast cancer survivors treated with adjuvant radiotherapy at The Norwegian Radium Hospital between 1998 and 2002 were invited to participate in a study assessing late treatment effects in breast cancer survivors. In the present study, gene expression analysis was performed on whole blood samples from breast cancer survivors with and without persistent fatigue, to look for different expression patterns that might shed light on the biology behind cancer-related fatigue.

Project description:We are doing this study to learn more about colon and rectal cancer survivors. We want to know if survivors want more information about life after cancer. Do cancer survivors want to know more about their own cancer? Do cancer survivors want to know about their treatment? Do cancer survivors want to know what health care they should get in the future? We want to know what information to give to cancer survivors when they finish treatment.

Project description:We aimed to characterize the long-term health outcomes of survivors of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and determine their recovery status and possible immunological basis. Although health outcomes continued to improve, SARS survivors still suffered from physical fatigue, osteoporosis, and necrosis of the femoral head 18 years after discharge, possibly related to plasma metabolic disorders and immunological alterations.

Project description:Background and aim: Only 10% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients survive longer than five years. Factors underlining long-term survivorship in PDAC are not well understood. Therefore, we aimed to identify the key players in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) associated with long-term survivorship in PDAC patients. Methods: The immune-related gene expression profiles of resected PDAC tumors of patients who survived and remained recurrence-free of disease for ≥36 months (long-term survivors, n=10) were compared to patients who had survived ≤6 months (short-term survivors, n=10) due to tumor recurrence. Validation was performed by the spatial protein expression profile of immune cells using the GeoMx™ Digital Spatial Profiler. An independent cohort of samples consisting of 12 long-term survivors and 10 short-term survivors, was used for additional validation. The independent validation was performed by combining qualitative immunohistochemistry and quantitative proteinexpression profiling. Results: B cells were found to be significantly increased in the TIME of longterm survivors by gene expression profiling (p=0.018). The high tumor infiltration of B cells was confirmed by spatial protein profiling in the discovery and the validation cohorts (p=0.002 and p=0.01, respectively). The higher number of infiltrated B cells was found mainly in the stromal compartments of PDAC samples and was exclusively found within tumor cells in long-term survivors. Conclusion: This is the first comprehensive study that connects the immune landscape of gene expression profiles and protein spatial infiltration with the survivorship of PDAC patients. We found a higher number and a specific location of B cells in TIME of long-term survivors which emphasizes the importance of B cells and B cell-based therapy for future personalized immunotherapy in PDAC patients.

Project description:Sepsis is the most common cause of hospitalization worldwide. Millions of people survive sepsis each year and are at risk for rehospitalization and death. Pulmonary complications such as respiratory failure due to pneumonia and exacerbation of chronic respiratory disease are among the most common reasons for rehospitalization in sepsis survivors. In order to prevent additional morbidity and death in patients surviving sepsis, we must establish biomarkers to identify patients at risk for pulmonary complications and develop treatments. Late complications in sepsis survivors, particularly nosocomial infections, are proposed to occur through persistent immune reprogramming after sepsis known as immunoparalysis. However, pro-inflammatory immune reprogramming in the form of primed or enhanced responses to secondary stimuli has also been described and could directly contribute to tissue injury and death. Primed immune responses and their contribution to long-term sepsis complications remains understudied. We hypothesize that primed immune responses to inflammatory stimuli in the lung after sepsis are associated with pulmonary complications in survivors of sepsis. To this end, we developed a model of antibiotic treated sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture followed three weeks later by secondary challenge with intranasal lipopolysaccharide to induce inflammatory lung injury. We find that mice surviving sepsis have enhanced lung injury responses in the setting of an exaggerated proinflammatory immune response, including primed Ly6Chi monocyte Tnf expression. Using RNA sequencing, we identified derangements in lung gene expression after CLP prior to LPS administration which may mediate enhanced lung injury in this model. One potential mediator, S100A8/A9, was also found to be elevated in the circulation of human sepsis survivors for up to 180 days after sepsis. These findings validate our model and identify S100A8/A9 as one of many potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for patients at risk for long-term pulmonary complications after sepsis. The role of S100A8/A9, monocyte priming, and other factors predisposing to enhanced lung injury responses and pulmonary complications after sepsis warrant further investigation in humans and mice.
