Project description:Regulation of particular genes during the formation of neural crest (NC) cells is also described during progression of malignant melanoma. In this context it is of paramount importance to develop neural crest models allowing the identification of candidate genes, which could be used as biomarkers for melanoma prognosis. Here, we used a human iPSC-based approach to present novel NC-associated genes, expression of which was upregulated in melanoma. A list of 8 candidate genes, based on highest upregulation, was tested for prognostic value in a tissue microarray analysis containing samples from advanced melanoma (good versus bad prognosis) as well as from high-risk primary melanomas (early metastasizing versus non or late-metastasizing). CD271, GLDC and ERRFI1 showed significantly higher expression in metastatic patients who died early than the one who survived at least 30 months. In addition, GLDC and TWIST showed a significant higher IHC score in primary melanomas from patients who developed metastases within 12 months versus those who did not develop metastases in 30 months. In conclusion, our iPSC-based study reveals a significant association of NC marker GLDC protein expression with melanoma prognosis.

Project description:To develop diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, we compared methylation profiles of HCC tissues and normal blood by analyzing 485,000 CpG markers and identified a HCC enriched methylation marker panel compared to that of normal blood. We found there was a highly correlation of methylation profiles between DNA from HCC cancer tissue and matched plasma ctDNA within the same patient. We then selected 10 markers from this panel and created a combined diagnosis score (cd-score) which showed high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity in both a training cohort and an independent validation cohort. We also showed the cd-score correlate highly with tumor load, treatment response and stage and is superior to that by AFP. We also showed the cd-score correlate highly with tumor load, treatment response and stage and is superior to that by AFP. Additional, we generated 8 markers from unicox and LASSO-cox analysis and created a combined prognosis score (cp-score) which could predict prognosis and survival. Together, these findings demonstrated the utility of ctDNA methylation markers in the diagnosis, treatment evaluation and prognosis of HCC.

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanism of rectal cancer and develop markers for disease prognostication, we generated and explored a dataset from 243 rectal cancer patients by gene expression microarray analysis of cancer samples and matched controls, and SNP-arrays of germline DNA. We found that two of the loci most strongly linked with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, 8q24 (upstream of MYC) and 18q21 (in the intron of SMAD7), as well as 20q13 (in the intron of LAMA5), are tightly associated with the prognosis of rectal cancer patients. For SNPs on 18q21 (rs12953717 and rs4464148) and 20q13 (rs4925386), alleles that correlate with higher risk for the development of CRC are associated with shorter disease free survival (DFS). However, for rs6983267 on 8q24, the low risk allele is associated with a higher risk for recurrence and metastasis after surgery, and importantly, is strongly correlated with the resistance of CRC cell lines to chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We also found that although MYC expression is dramatically increased in cancer, patients with higher levels of MYC have a better prognosis. The expression of SMAD7 is weakly correlated with DFS. Notably, the presence of the 8q24 and 18q21 SNP alleles is not correlated with expression levels of MYC and SMAD7. rs4464148, and probably rs6983267 and rs4925386, are linked with overall survival time of patients. In conclusion, we show that several CRC risk SNPs detect subpopulations of rectal cancer patients with poor prognosis, and that rs6983267 probably affects prognosis through interfering with the resistance of cancer cells to CRT.

Project description:Neural cest cells are a transient stem cell-like population appearing during vertebrate embryonic development. Generation of the cranial neural crest is known to require a balanced combination of FGF and BMP levels. However, it is poorly understood how the functions of such growth factors are controlled in the extracellular spaces. Here we identifiy the extracelluar matrix protein anosmin (Gga.14976.1.S1_at, clone ChEST132d10) as a novel molecule synthesized locally in the cranial neural crest of chicken embryos. Cranial neural folds (NF) and ventral neural plates (NP) were dissected from Hamburger & Hamilton stage 8 (HH8) embryos (80 to 14 embryos, n=4), and total RNA was analyzed using a GeneChip chicken genome arrays (Affymetrix)

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a common childhood malignant tumor of neural crest origin with remarkable heterogeneity in outcomes. Amplification of the oncogene MYCN is strongly associated with highly malignant behaviour and poor prognosis. Here, we used human ESC-derived neural crest model to recapitulate the initiation of MYCN-driven neuroblastoma and to identify MYCN downstream effectors. Our results show that induced deregulation of MYCN in human neural crest progenitor cells is sufficient to induce tumors that recapitulate the pathological and molecular features of human MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma(MNA-NB). By using this platform, we are able to identify a group of 28 genes that are associated with MYCN expression level only in MNA-NB.

Project description:We utilized quantitative analyses of the proteome, transcriptome, and ubiquitinome to study how ubiquitination and NEDD4 control neural crest cell survival and stem-cell-like properties. We report 276 novel NEDD4 targets in neural crest cells and show that loss of NEDD4 leads to a striking global reduction in specific ubiquitin lysine linkages.
