Project description:Gene signature predictive of response to chemotherapy in mCRC [RT-PCR]
| PRJNA229147 | ENA
Project description:The objective is to generate a robust and validated predictor profile for chemotherapy response in patients with mCRC using microarray gene expression profiles of primary colorectal cancer tissue. To define a gene signature of response to chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer, samples were obtained from 40 patients from Marques de Valdecilla Hospital who underwent primary surgery. Gene expression was detected and quantified using the Human Whole Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array (Affymetrix), containing 54675 human gene probes. Adequate RNA and microarray analysis were obtained from only 37 patients.

Project description:KRAS mutation is a negative predictive factor for treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Novel predictive markers are required to further improve the selection of patients for this treatment. Here, we assessed the influence of modification of KRAS by gene copy number aberration (CNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in correlation to clinical outcome in mCRC patients treated with cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary tumour tissue was used from 34 mCRC patients in a phase III trial, who were selected based upon their good (n=17) or poor (n=17) progression-free survival (PFS) upon treatment with cetuximab in combination with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab. Gene copy number at the KRAS locus was assessed using high resolution genome-wide array CGH and the expression levels of 17 miRNAs targeting KRAS were determined by real-time PCR. Good response was associated with 12p12.1 copy number loss, even in patients with a KRAS mutation, while copy number gain in wild-type KRAS patients was correlated with a poor response. In KRAS mutated tumours increased miR-200b and decreased miR-143 expression were associated with a good response. In wild-type KRAS patients, miRNA expression did not predict response in a multivariate model. Thus, assessment of KRAS CNA and miRNAs targeting KRAS might further optimize the selection of patients eligible for anti-EGFR therapy. Copy number detection was performed using NimbleScan and Nexus software

Project description:Purpose:The identification of biomarkers predictive of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in breast cancer patients would be an important advancement in personalized cancer therapy. We hypothesized that due to similarities between radiation and chemotherapy induced cellular response mechanisms, radiation responsive genes may be useful in predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: Murine p53 null breast cancer cell lines representative of the luminal, basal-like and claudin-low human breast cancer subtypes were irradiated to identify radiation responsive genes. These murine radiation induced genes were then converted to their human orthologs. These genes were then used to develop a predictor of pathologic complete response (pCR) that was validated on two independent published neoadjuvant chemotherapy data sets of genomic data with response. Results: A radiation induced gene signature consisting of 30 genes was identified on a training set of 337 human primary breast cancer tumor samples that was prognostic for survival. Mean expression of this signature was calculated for individual samples in two independent published datasets and was found to be significantly predictive of pathologic complete response. Multivariate logistic regression analysis in both independent datasets showed that this 30 gene signature added significant predictive information independent of that provided by standard clinical predictors and other gene expression based predictors of pathologic complete response. Conclusion: This study provides new biologic information regarding response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and a means of possibly improving the prediction of pathologic complete response. reference x sample

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.
