Project description:Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is characterized by disruption of tissue development and homeostatic pathways. Here, using genetic fate mapping and murine ACC models, we have identified a population of adrenocortical stem cells that express Delta-like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 (DLK1). These cells are active during development, near dormant postnatally but are re-expressed in ACC. DLK1 expression is widespread in human ACC samples and independently influences recurrence-free survival. Spatial transcriptomic analysis has identified DLK1 positive ACC cells to have increased steroidogenic potential, a finding also observed in both human and murine ACC cell lines. Additionally, the cleavable DLK1 ectodomain is detectable in patients’ serum and effectively distinguishes ACC from other adrenal pathologies, offering potential diagnostic and follow-up utility for ACC patients. These data demonstrate a prognostic role for DLK1 in ACC, elucidate its hierarchical expression in homeostasis and cancer and suggest its utility as a biomarker in this malignancy.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapies have produced remarkable results in B-cell malignancies; however, optimal cell surface targets for many solid cancers remain elusive. Here, we present an integrative proteomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic analysis of tumor specimens along with normal tissues to identify biologically relevant cell surface proteins that can serve as immunotherapeutic targets for neuroblastoma, the often fatal childhood cancer of the developing nervous system. We apply this approach to human-derived cell lines (N=9) and cell/patient-derived xenograft (N=12) models of neuroblastoma. Plasma membrane-enriched mass spectrometry identified 1,461 cell surface proteins in cell lines and 1,401 in xenograft models, respectively. Additional proteogenomic analyses revealed 71 high-confidence candidate immunotherapeutic targets and we prioritized Delta-like canonical notch ligand 1 (DLK1) for further study. High expression of DLK1 directly correlated with the presence of a super-enhancer spanning the DLK1 locus. Robust cell surface expression of DLK1 was validated by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry. Short hairpin RNA mediated silencing of DLK1 in neuroblastoma cells resulted in increased cellular differentiation. ADCT-701, a DLK1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), showed potent and specific cytotoxicity in DLK1-expressing neuroblastoma xenograft models. Finally, we also found that DLK1 is highly expressed in several adult cancer types including adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PCPG) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) suggesting potential clinical benefit beyond neuroblastoma. A clinical trial has been developed for evaluating ADCT-701 in neuroendocrine tumors in adults (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06041516?term=adct-701&rank=1). Therefore, comprehensive characterization of cancer surfaceomes can provide biologically relevant immunotherapy targeting strategies.

Project description:Differential diagnosis of adrenocortical adenoma and carcinoma is of pivotal clinical relevance, as the prognosis and clinical management of benign and malignant adrenocortical tumours is entirely different. Circulating microRNAs are promising biomarker candidates of malignancy in several tumours. In the present study we investigate circulating microRNAs in adrenocortical tumours and to evaluate their potential applicability as biomarkers of malignancy.

For the miRNA profiling, 8 preoperative plasma samples obtained from patients with adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas and were studied by microarray.

Project description:Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive malignancy with high rates of recurrence following surgical resection. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in cancer development. Pathogenesis of adrenal tumours has been characterised by mRNA, microRNA and methylation expression signatures but it is unknown if this extends to lncRNAs. We sought to describe lncRNA expression signatures in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), adrenal cortical adenoma (ACA) and normal adrenal cortex (NAC). RNA was extracted from freshly frozen tissue with confirmation of diagnosis by histopathology. Focused lncRNA and mRNA transcriptome analysis was performed using the ArrayStar Human LncRNA V3.0 microarray. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were validated using qRT-PCR.

Project description:Livin/BIRC7 is a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins family, which are involved in tumor development through the inhibition of caspases. Aim was to investigate the expression of livin and other members of its pathway in adrenocortical tumors and in the adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) cell line NCI-H295R.The mRNA expression of livin, its isoforms α and β, XIAP, CASP3 and DIABLO was evaluated by qRT-PCR in 82 fresh-frozen adrenal tissues (34 ACC, 25 adenomas = ACA, 23 normal adrenal glands = NAG). Livin protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 270 paraffin-embedded tissues (192 ACC, 58 ACA, 20 NAG). Livin, CASP3 and cleaved caspase-3 were evaluated in NCI-H295R after induction of livin overexpression.Relative livin mRNA expression was significantly higher in ACC than in ACA and NAG (0.060 ± 0.116 vs 0.004 ± 0.014 and 0.002 ± 0.009, respectively, p < 0.01), being consistently higher in tumors than in adjacent NAG and isoform β more expressed than α. No significant differences in CASP3, XIAP and DIABLO levels were found among these groups. In immunohistochemistry, livin was localized in both cytoplasm and nuclei. The ratio between cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was significantly higher in ACC (1.51 ± 0.66) than in ACA (0.80 ± 0.35) and NAG (0.88 ± 0.27; p < 0.0001). No significant correlations were observed between livin expression and histopathological parameters or clinical outcome. In NCI-H295R cells, the livin overexpression slightly reduced the activation of CASP3, but did not correlate with cell viability.In conclusion, livin is specifically over-expressed in ACC, suggesting that it might be involved in adrenocortical tumorigenesis and represent a new molecular marker of malignancy.

Project description:We took advantage of ssRNA-seq technology to deeply sequence mRNAs of the model plant species Oryza sativa ssp.japonica cv Nipponbare with clear transcriptional orientations for assessing rice cis-NATs at the best possible resolution. We also deeply sequenced rice small RNAs from the same tissues as that for preparing mRNAs to investigate rice cis-NAT pairs that potentially give rise to endogenous short interfering RNAs from their overlapping regions under normal and stress conditions.
