Project description:Transcriptional profiling of cancer stem cells (ALDH-high cells) comparing non-cancer stem cells (ALDH-low cells), sorted out using ALDEFLUOR assay. Goal was to identity cancer stem cell-specific genes. Two-condition experiment, sphere-cultured cells vs. adherent-cultured cells: 1 ALDH-high replicate and 1 ALDH-low replicate.
Project description:We developed an experimentally derived molecular signature from mouse tumor models that is closely associated with survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We isolated single cell-derived progenies (SCPs) from the SW480 CRC cell line and compared their metastatic potential in an orthotopic implantation model of murine CRC. We compared the differences in the gene expression profiles of a high metastatic variant SCP51, a low metastatic variant SCP58 and their parent SW480/EGFP.
Project description:DEAD-box RNA helicase 21 (DDX21), is a nucleolar protein harboring ATP-dependent double-stranded RNA unwinding activities, essential in rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. However, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression remains unclear. In this study, we performed RNAseq in colorectal cancer line HCT8 with or without DDX21 gene silencing, to reveal the role of DDX21 in transcriptional and epigenetic control of CRC cell proliferation.
Project description:We performed comprehensive genome-scale DNA methylation profiling by Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 of 18 DNA pools that represent 84 colorectal cancer (CRC) samples divided according to their high-, intermediate-, and low-methylation epigenotypes (HME, IME, and LME, respectively) and 3 pools representing 70 normal-adjacent colonic tissues. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 21 DNA pools were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2
Project description:To identify genes that are differentially expressed between ALDH-high and ALDH-low cells in endometrial cancer-derived spheroids, we performed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform. Human endometrial cancer stem spheroid cells from three patients were sorted into ALDH-high and ALDH-low cells using the FACS Aria II Cell Sorter. Total RNA extracted from the cells were labeled with Cy3 and used for microarray analyses with Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarrays.

Project description:Approximately two decades ago, Vogelstein and Fearon proposed the adenoma-carcinoma sequence of sporadic CRC development and illustrated the accumulation of genetic alterations during the stepwise progression, thereby providing a guideline for clinical practice. Although the detection and excision of precancerous lesions could prevent colorectal cancer and reduce mortality, 6% of adenomas will ultimately develop into colorectal cancer. Thus, this genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis may not completely reflect the complex essence of the disease and whether the mode of initiation of the events in the multistep progression affects the outcome of CRC is still unknown. In this study, mRNA and miRNA expression profiling was performed with human colorectal tissues, including normal mucosa, adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Then, an integrated approach was adopted to establish the regulatory interaction networks that were correlated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Finally, a 55-gene signature whose expression was down-regulated in precancerous lesions compared to normal tissue was identified as a potential early indicator of CRC survival. The results suggested that genes related to immunity and homeostasis played a critical role in protection against adenoma initiation and that the altered molecular events that influence colorectal cancer prognosis may be set in an early, precancerous stage. Four types of human colorectal tissues were selected by colonoscopic resection or colorectal surgery, including 12 normal mucosae, 21 low-grade adenomas (mild or moderate atypical hyperplasia), 30 high-grade adenomas (severe atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma in situ) and 25 adenocarcinomas. Gene expression profiling analysis of these samples was performed using Agilent 4x44K human whole genome gene expression microarray (G4112F).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: We developed a drug-disease simulation model to
predict antitumor response and overall survival in phase III
studies from longitudinal tumor size data in phase II trials.
METHODS: We developed a longitudinal exposure-response
tumor-growth inhibition (TGI) model of drug effect (and
resistance) using phase II data of capecitabine (n = 34) and
historical phase III data of fluorouracil (FU; n = 252) in
colorectal cancer (CRC); and we developed a parametric survival
model that related change in tumor size and patient
characteristics to survival time using historical phase III
data (n = 245). The models were validated in simulation of
antitumor response and survival in an independent phase III
study (n = 1,000 replicates) of capecitabine versus FU in CRC.
RESULTS: The TGI model provided a good fit of longitudinal
tumor size data. A lognormal distribution best described the
survival time, and baseline tumor size and change in tumor size
from baseline at week 7 were predictors (P < .00001).
Predicted change of tumor size and survival time distributions
in the phase III study for both capecitabine and FU were
consistent with observed values, for example, 431 days (90%
prediction interval, 362 to 514 days) versus 401 days observed
for survival in the capecitabine arm. A modest survival
improvement of 39 days (90% prediction interval, -21 to 110
days) versus 35 days observed was predicted for capecitabine.
CONCLUSION: The modeling framework successfully predicted
survival in a phase III trial on the basis of capecitabine
phase II data in CRC. It is a useful tool to support
end-of-phase II decisions and design of phase III studies.
