Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC), second leading cause of cancer worldwide, is associated with a poor prognosis, especially in patients with advanced disease. Therefore, there is still a need to develop new prognostic tools to replace or supplement those routinely used, with the aim to optimize treatment strategies.
Studies on gut microbiota composition provide new strategies to identify powerful biomarkers. Indeed, beyond its beneficial functions for the host, increasing evidences suggest that gut microbiota is a key factor involved in CRC carcinogenesis. Many clinical studies have described an imbalance in the gut microbiota (dysbiosis) in CRC patients, with the emergence of pathogenic bacterial species, Recent studies reported that pks-positive E. coli, a pathogenic bacterial producing toxin encoded by the pks genomic island, is more frequently detected in CRC patients, suggesting a possible role in tumor development. Therefore, this suggests the potential use of microbial signatures associated with CRC for prognostic assessment. Furthermore, influence of body composition profile (BMI, sarcopenia, metabolic syndrome) also appears to be a new relevant prognostic tool regarding surgical and oncological outcomes following CRC surgery.
The aim of this translational research project is to study the impact of these new prognostic tools on surgical and oncologic results in a prospective cohort of patients who underwent CRC surgery at the Digestive Surgery Department of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand (France). This could allow to optimize treatment strategies and provide new ways to identify news promising biomarkers associations in order to better define high risk patients. Investigators aim to identify specific microbial signatures associated with some metabolic profiles in order to improve surgical morbidity and/or response to cancer therapies.

Project description:Each infectious agent represents a unique combination of pathogen-associated molecular patterns that interact with specific pattern-recognition receptors expressed on immune cells. Therefore, we surmised that the blood immune cells of individuals with different infections might bear discriminative transcriptional signatures. Gene expression profiles were obtained for 131 peripheral blood samples from pediatric patients with acute infections caused by influenza A virus, Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) or Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria. Thirty-five genes were identified that best discriminate patients with influenza A virus infection from patients with either E coli or S pneumoniae infection. These genes classified with 95% accuracy (35 of 37 samples) an independent set of patients with either influenza A, E coli, or S pneumoniae infection. A different signature discriminated patients with E coli versus S aureus infections with 85% accuracy (34 of 40). Furthermore, distinctive gene expression patterns were observed in patients presenting with respiratory infections of different etiologies. Thus, microarray analyses of patient peripheral blood leukocytes might assist in the differential diagnosis of infectious diseases. Experiment Overall Design: Entire study included 144 samples. Only 143 are included in this series because the CHP/CEL file was not available for sample PBMC_Healthy_INF295.

Project description:The goal of the study was to further delineate the molecular signatures associated with high-grade serous ovarian cancer in order to develop validated clinically useful prognostic signatures with the potential to guide therapy decisions. Fresh frozen samples were prospectively collected from a series of 174 consecutive women with high-grade serous ovarian, primary peritonial, or fallopian tube cancer who underwent surgery by a gynecologic oncologist at Mayo Clinic betweern 1994 and 2005. All patients received postoperative chemotherapy with a platinum agent, and 75% received a taxane. All patients signed an Institutional Review Board approved consent for bio-banking, clinical data extraction and molecular analysis. Median follow-up time was 35 months (range, 1-202 months). Fourteen patients (8%) were included in the TCGA study.

Project description:Background: Synovial sarcoma (SS) occur in children as well as in adults, although metastatic events are much more common in the latter. Whereas the importance of the t(X;18) translocation in SS oncogenesis is well established, the genetic basis of SS metastasis is still poorly understood. We recently reported expression (CINSARC) and genomic (GI) prognostic signatures related to chromosome integrity in sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Here we investigate whether these signatures can also predict outcomes in SS. Methods: One hundred primary untreated SS were selected for expression and genomic profiling in a training/validation approach. Results: CINSARC and GI have strong, independent and validated prognostic values (p<0.0001). Comparing expression profiles of tumors with or without metastasis, 14 genes common with the CINSARC signature were identified and the two top-ranked genes, KIF14 and CDCA2, were validated as prognostic markers in an independent cohort. Comparing genomic profiles of adult vs. pediatric SS, we show that metastasis is associated with genome complexity in both situations and that the adult genome is more frequently rearranged. Accordingly, pediatric patients with an even genomic profile do not develop metastasis. Conclusions: Metastasis development in SS is strongly associated with chromosome complexity, and CINSARC and GI are validated independent prognostic factors. The differences in metastasis frequency between adults and children are associated with genome instability, which is much more frequent in adults. GI is potentially the best overall biomarker, and clearly the most clinically relevant, considering that genome profiling from formalin fixed samples is already used in pathology. 34 Synovial Sarcomas hybridized to Agilent-026652 Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K

Project description:Gene expression data from 100 human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) were generated and analyzed as part of effort for validating prognostic gene expression signatures from previous studies. Using four different classification algorithms and leave-one-out cross-validation approaches, four different prognostic signatures were applied to test the robustness and concordance of predicted outcome in individual patients. All four tumor-derived signatures were significantly associated with prognosis and had a high rate of concordance with predicted outcomes for individual patients.

Project description:Purpose Survival of patients with multiple myeloma is highly heterogeneous from periods of few weeks to more than ten years. We used gene-expression profiles of myeloma cells obtained at diagnosis to identify broadly applicable prognostic markers. Methods In a training set of 182 patients, we used supervised methods to identify individual genes associated with length of survival. A survival model was built from these genes. The validity of our model was assessed in our test set of 68 patients and in three independent cohorts comprising 853 multiple myeloma patients. Results The 15 strongest genes associated with the length of survival were used to calculate a risk score and to stratify patients in low-risk and high-risk. The survival-predictor score was significantly associated with survival in both the training and test sets and in the external validation cohorts. The Kaplan Meier estimates of rates of survival at 3 years were 90.5 percent (95 percent CI, 85.6 – 95.3), and 47.4 (95 percent CI, 33.5 - 60.1) respectively in our patients having a low-risk or high-risk, independently of traditional prognostic factors. High-risk patients constituted a homogeneous biological entity characterized by the overexpression of genes involved in cell cycle progression and its surveillance, while low-risk patients were heterogeneous and displayed hyperdiploid signatures. Conclusion Gene expression-based survival prediction and molecular features associated with high-risk patients may be useful for developing prognostic markers and may provide basis to treat these patients with new targeted anti-mitotics.

Project description:Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis) belongs to the class Mollicutes, characterized by a very small genome size, metabolic pathway reduction, including transcription factors, and the absence of a cell wall. Despite this, they adapt well not only to specific niches within the host organism but can also spread throughout the body, colonizing various organs and tissues. The mechanisms of adaptation in M. hominis, as well as the pathways regulating them, are poorly understood. It is known that when adapting to adverse conditions, mycoplasmas can undergo phenotypic switches that may persist for several generations. To investigate the adaptive properties of M. hominis associated with survival in the host organism, we conducted a comparative proteogenomic analysis of 8 clinical isolates of M. hominis obtained from patients with urogenital infections, along with the laboratory strain H-34.
