Project description:Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common liver cancer in children, but few pre-treatment tumors have been molecularly profiled. Consequently, there are no validated prognostic or therapeutic biomarkers for HB patients. We report on molecular analysis of 88 clinically-annotated HB tumors. This analysis pointed to three risk-stratifying molecular subtypes—low, intermediate and high risk—that are characterized by differential activation of hepatic progenitor cell markers and metabolic pathways. High-risk tumors are characterized by high NFE2L2 activity and LIN28B, HMGA2, SALL4 and AFP expression, low let-7 expression and HNF1A activity, and high coordinated expression of oncofetal proteins and stem cell markers. Tests on a 35 HB validation set supported these genes as prognostic biomarkers.

Project description:We sought to identify circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) from blood plasma that could be used as biomarkers to detect breast cancer existing in high-risk benign breast tumors. Plasma samples were collected from patients with early-stage breast cancer (CA), high- (HB), moderate- (MB), and no-risk (Be) benign tumors. The miRNAs we have identified have the potential to develop into a crucial blood-based screening tool to help monitor the development of breast cancer in benign breast tumors.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still one of the malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality in China and worldwide. Although AFP have been widely used as important biomarkers for HCC diagnosis and evaluation, the AFP level has a huge variation among HCC patient populations. Understanding the intrinsic heterogeneities of HCC associated with AFP levels is essential for the molecular mechanism studies of HCC with different AFP levels as well as for the potential early diagnosis and personalized treatment of HCC with AFP negative. Here, an integrated glycoproteomic and proteomic analysis of low and high AFP level of HCC tumors was performed to investigate the intrinsic heterogeneities of site-specific glycosylation associated with different AFP levels of HCC. we identified many commonly altered site-specific glycans from HCC tumors regardless of AFP levels, including decreased modifications by oligo-mannose and sialylated bi-antennary glycans, and increased modifications by bisecting glycans. By relative quantifying the intact glycopeptides between low and high AFP tumor groups, the great heterogeneities of site-specific N-glycans between two groups of HCC tumors were also uncovered. We found that several sialylated but not core fucosylated tri-antennary glycans were uniquely high-regulated in low AFP level of HCC tumors, while many core fucosylated bi-antennary or hybrid glycans as well as bisecting glycans were uniquely increased in high AFP tumors. The data provide a valuable resource for future HCC studies regarding the mechanism, heterogeneities and new biomarker discovery.

Project description:To develop diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, we compared methylation profiles of HCC tissues and normal blood by analyzing 485,000 CpG markers and identified a HCC enriched methylation marker panel compared to that of normal blood. We found there was a highly correlation of methylation profiles between DNA from HCC cancer tissue and matched plasma ctDNA within the same patient. We then selected 10 markers from this panel and created a combined diagnosis score (cd-score) which showed high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity in both a training cohort and an independent validation cohort. We also showed the cd-score correlate highly with tumor load, treatment response and stage and is superior to that by AFP. We also showed the cd-score correlate highly with tumor load, treatment response and stage and is superior to that by AFP. Additional, we generated 8 markers from unicox and LASSO-cox analysis and created a combined prognosis score (cp-score) which could predict prognosis and survival. Together, these findings demonstrated the utility of ctDNA methylation markers in the diagnosis, treatment evaluation and prognosis of HCC.

Project description:Central nervous system (CNS) resident cells such as microglia, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes are gaining increasing attention in respect to their contribution to CNS pathologies including Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Several studies have demonstrated the involvement of pro- inflammatory glial subsets in the pathogenesis and propagation of inflammatory events in MS and its animal models. However, it has only recently become clear that the underlying heterogeneity of astrocytes and microglia can not only drive inflammation, but also lead to its resolution through direct and indirect mechanisms. Failure of these tissue-protective mechanisms may potentiate disease and increase the risk of conversion to progressive stages of MS, for which currently available therapies are limited. Using proteomic analyses of cerebrospinal fluid specimens from MS patients in combination with experimental studies, we here identify Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) as a central mediator of tissue-protective and anti-inflammatory effects important for the recovery from acute inflammatory lesions in CNS autoimmunity. Hypoxic conditions drive the rapid upregulation of HB-EGF by astrocytes during early CNS inflammation, while pro-inflammatory conditions suppress trophic HB-EGF signaling through epigenetic modifications. Finally, we demonstrate both anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective effects of HB-EGF in a broad variety of cell types in vitro and use intranasal administration of HB-EGF in acute and post-acute stages of neuroinflammation to attenuate disease in a preclinical mouse model of MS. Altogether, we identify astrocyte-derived HB-EGF and its epigenetic regulation as a novel modulator of autoimmune CNS inflammation and potential therapeutic target in MS.

Project description:Glycosylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM) mechanism of proteins, that modulates protein function. Measurement of clinically adopted cancer protein biomarkers is commonly performed using affinity-based techniques, which often suffer from poor specificity and inability to distinguish between closely related proteoforms. Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a circulating cancer biomarker implicated in multiple neoplastic malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). AFP glycoforms with core fucosylation structure (AFP-L3) are used clinically as a biomarker, to predict risk of developing HCC and to monitor its recurrence. Mature AFP has a single glycosylation site, while there is a high degree of structural variation in AFP-glycan modifications. Because AFP has single glycosylation site, masses of intact AFP proteoforms can be used to differentiate and identify PTM in their native states. We developed a method for intact AFP glycoform analysis that utilizes AFP-specific immune-enrichment, followed by LC-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis to differentiate and quantitate the relative abundance of AFP glycoforms and evaluated the method’s performance.
