Project description:Effect of fumarase point mutation or knock-out on transcriptional profile in yeast to model hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC).
Project description:Fumarate hydratase (FH) mutations cause hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). We have conditionally inactivated the murine ortholog (Fh1) in renal tubular epithelial cells in order to generate an in vivo model of HLRCC. Fh1 knockout mice recapitulates important aspects of HLRCC including the development of renal cysts that overexpress hypoxia inducible factor alpha (Hifa) and Hif-target genes. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cyst development in Fh1 knockout mice and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Keywords: gene expression, comparison (wild-type n=3 vs knockout n=3)
Project description:Gene expression profiles of normal kidney (3 technical replicates) and a renal tumor (3 technical replicates) from a hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) patient carrying a germline mutation in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene.

Keywords: gene expression, comparison (wild-type n=3 vs knockout n=3) Renal epithelial tissue was macro-dissected from Fh1 knockout mice and sex-matched litter mate control disease-free animals for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Gene expression profiles of normal kidney (3 technical replicates) and a renal tumor (3 technical replicates) from a hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) patient carrying a germline mutation in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. Tumor and normal tissue from one patient, both in 3 techincal replicates.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Fumarate hydratase (FH) is the enzyme in the Krebs cycle, which transforms fumarate to malate. Loss of fumarate hyrdragase leads to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). The biallelic inactivation has been highly accumulated in FH-deficient cells and is considered a major pro-oncogenic factor for HLRCC tumorigenesis. We used microarrays to understand the global readaptation of cell metabolism of gene expression underlying the truncated Krebs cycle by loss of function of fumarate hydratase.

Project description:Pathogenic mutations in fumarate hydratase (FH) drive hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and increase the risk of developing uterine leiomyomas (ULMs). An integrated proteogenomic analysis of ULMs from HLRCC (n=16; FH-mutation confirmed) and non-syndromic (NS) patients (n=12) identified a significantly higher protein:transcript correlation in HLRCC (R=0.35) vs. NS ULMs (R=0.242, MWU p=0.0015). Co-altered proteins and transcripts (228) included antioxidant response element (ARE) target genes, such as thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1), and correlated with activation of NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response signaling in HLRCC ULMs. We confirm 185 transcripts previously described as altered between HLRCC and NS ULMs, 51 co-altered at the protein level and several elevated in HLRCC ULMs are involved in regulating cellular metabolism and glycolysis signaling. Furthermore, 367 S-(2-succino)cysteine peptides were identified in HLRCC ULMs, of which sixty were significantly elevated in HLRCC vs. NS ULMs (LogFC=1.86, MWU p<0.0001). These results confirm and define novel proteogenomic alterations in uterine leiomyoma tissues collected from HLRCC patients and underscore conserved molecular alterations correlating with inactivation of the FH tumor suppressor gene.
