Project description:Genetic and epigenetic alterations are essential for the initiation and progression of human cancer. We previously reported that primary human medulloblastomas showed extensive cancer-specific CpG island DNA hypermethylation in critical developmental pathways. To determine whether genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of medulloblastoma have comparable epigenetic changes, we assessed genome-wide DNA methylation in three mouse models of medulloblastoma. In contrast to human samples, very few loci with cancer-specific DNA hypermethylation were detected, and in almost all cases the degree of methylation was relatively modest compared to the dense hypermethylation in the human cancers. To determine if this finding was common to other GEMMs, we examined a Burkitt lymphoma and breast cancer model and did not detect promoter CpG island DNA hypermethylation, suggesting that human cancers and at least some GEMMs are fundamentally different with respect to this epigenetic modification. These findings provide an opportunity to both better understand the mechanism of aberrant DNA methylation in human cancer and construct better GEMMs to serve as preclinical platforms for therapy development.

Project description:Dogs infected with the cardiopulmonary nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum may suffer respiratory distress and/or bleeding disorders. Descriptions of clinical signs in foxes are rare, despite high prevalence. To evaluate the impact of infection on coagulation and immune response, serum proteins from eight experimentally infected foxes before and after inoculation (day 0, 35, 84, 154) were subjected to quantitative proteomic analysis and compared to available data from dogs. The number of differentially expressed proteins compared to uninfected baseline increased with chronicity of the infection. Bone marrow proteoglycan, chitinase 3-like protein 1 and pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B were among strongly upregulated proteins. Several proteins involved in coagulation were downregulated. Enriched pathways obtained from both up- and downregulated proteins included among others ‘platelet degranulation‘ and ‘haemostasis’, and indicated both activation and suppression of coagulation. Qualitative comparison to dog data suggests some parallel serum proteomic alterations. The comparison, however, highlights that foxes have a more balanced immunopathological response to A. vasorum infection compared to dogs, facilitating parasite survival in foxes. Our findings imply that foxes may cope better with an A. vasorum infection and that A. vasorum is likely more adapted to foxes as compared to dogs, explaining the relevant role of foxes as wildlife reservoir.

Project description:Introduction: The prognosis for patients with breast tumor metastases to brain is extremely poor. Identification of prognostic molecular markers of the metastatic process is critical for designing therapeutic modalities for reducing the occurrence of metastasis. Although ubiquitously present in most human organs, calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel is significantly upregulated in breast cancer cells. In this study we investigated the role of KCNMA1 gene, which encodes α subunit of KCa channels (BK channels) in breast cancer metastasis and invasion. Methods: We performed Global exon array to study the expression of KCNMA1 in metastatic breast cancer in brain, compared its expression in primary breast cancer and breast cancers metastatic to other organs, and validated the findings by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was performed to study the expression and localization of α subunit of KCa channel protein in primary and metastatic breast cancer tissues and breast cancer cell lines. We performed matrigel invasion, transendothelial migration and membrane potential assays in established lines of normal breast cells (MCF-10A), non-metastatic breast cancer (MCF-7), non-brain metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), and brain-specific metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-361) to study whether KCa channel inhibition attenuates breast tumor invasion and metastasis using KCNMA1 knockdown with siRNA and biochemical inhibition with IBTX (Iberiotoxin). Results: The Global exon array and RT-PCR showed higher KCNMA1 expression in metastatic breast cancer in brain compared to metastatic breast cancers in other organs. Our results clearly show that metastatic breast cancer cells exhibit increased BK channel activity, leading to greater invasiveness and transendothelial migration, both of which could be attenuated by blocking KCNMA1. Conclusion: Determining the relative abundance of BK channel over expression in breast cancer metastatic to brain and the mechanism of its action in brain metastasis will provide a unique opportunity to identify and differentiate between low grade breast tumors that are at high risk for metastasis from those at low risk for metastasis. This distinction would in turn allow for the appropriate and efficient application of effective treatments while sparing patients with low risk for metastasis from the toxic side effects of chemotherapy.

Project description:Relapse and metastatic progression is a frequent event in colorectal cancer patients detected at early stages. The risk of recurrence requires the development of new biomarkers to correctly predict biological behavior of early stage II and stage III patients and their response to adjuvant chemotherapy. Here, we combined the proteomic quantification of secreted proteins involved in metastasis with a transcriptional analysis to develop a risk score algorithm based on the expression of six genes (SEC6). The SEC6 signature was predictive of survival and recurrence for stage II and III patients in four different datasets including a total of 1534 patients and was also associated with deficient mismatch repair, CpG-island methylator positive status and BRAF mutation. SEC6 was also predictive of beneficial or detrimental effects from 5-Fluorouracil-containing regimes and the improved response to more aggressive chemotherapies based on FOLFOX and FOLFIRI. In summary, the SEC6 risk-score algorithm may constitute a new tool for decision-making in colorectal cancer management.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 19 risk variants associated with colorectal cancer. As most of these risk variants reside outside the coding regions of genes, we conducted cis-expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL) analyses to investigate possible regulatory functions on the expression of neighboring genes. Forty microsatellite stable and CpG island methylator phenotype-negative colorectal tumors and paired adjacent-normal colon tissues were used for genome-wide SNP and gene expression profiling in our cis-eQTL analyses. This submission represents transcriptome component of study.

Project description:Although elevated KCNH2-3.1 potassium channel expression is associated with cognitive dysfunctions and with schizophrenia, little is known about the pathophysiology of synapses in patient neurons and how elevated levels of KCNH2-3.1 potassium channel could lead to synaptic deficits in humans. Here, we identified specific and delayed disruption of hippocampal-mPFC synaptic transmission and connection unexpectedly associated with age-dependent reduction of SERPING1, CFH and CD74 in the KCNH2-3.1 overexpression transgenic mice, and dysfunctional interactions between hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in the fMRI coupling signal during working memory encoding in healthy subjects carrying schizophrenia-associated risk alleles of KCNH2 potassium channel. These three genes are enriched in neurons or microglia, and reduced expression of these genes dysregulates the complement cascade activation underlying impaired synaptic connectivity of hippocampal-mPFC projections. Knockdown of these genes’ expression impairs synapse formation, and replenishing reduced CFH gene expression rescues KCNH2-3.1-induced impaired synaptogenesis. Our results uncover a previously unrecognized role of truncated KCNH2-3.1 potassium channel mediating reduced expression of three genes mentioned above, which enhances aberrant complement cascade activation during development. These results direct an important conceptual advance that truncated KCNH2-3.1 causes synapse loss mediated by abnormally activated complement system, rather than aberrant neuronal firing, may represent the therapeutic targets for a number of patients with schizophrenia.
