Project description:A placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), characterized by mononuclear and multinuclear extravillous trophoblasts that penetrate the uterus and its vessels, is a rare gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Due to its rarity, the prognostic factors and ideal treatment are unclear. Recurrent PSTT is thought to be resistant to chemotherapy, but monoclonal antibodies, such as the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) agent pembrolizumab, have recently been reported to be clinically effective for several cancers. We present a recurrent and chemo-resistant PSTT case exhibiting complete response after administration of pembrolizumab. This case suggests a new approach for the management of drug-resistant PSTT.

Project description:Numerous case studies have reported spontaneous regression of metastases following tumor excision, but underlying mechanisms are elusive. Here we present a model of metastases regression and latency elicited by the removal of a primary tumor, and identify underlying mechanisms. Human breast cancer cells, expressing highly sensitive luciferase, were implanted into the mammary fat-pad of mice, and the progression of early stage micrometastases, was monitored. Upon establishment of micrometastases, the primary tumor was excised, inducing a robust regression of metastatic signal, resulting in latent foci. In vivo supplementation of tumor secretome immediately upon tumor excision diminished this regression, implicating primary tumor secreted factors in promotion of metastatic growth. In vitro, cancer cell conditioned medium reduced apoptosis and enhanced adhesion of non-confluent cancer cells, and induced angiogenesis in endothelial cells. Cytokine array and proteomic analysis of cancer cells secretome identified 359 extracellular secreted factors, with significant enrichment of angiogenic factors, growth factors activity, focal adhesion, apoptosis, and metalloprotease processes. In vivo blockade of four key potential mediators of these processes, IL-8, PDGFaa, Serpin E1 (PAI-1), and MIF, arrested development of micrometastases. Moreover, high protein levels of these four factors were correlated with poor patient outcome. These results demonstrate regression and latency of metastases following tumor excision and a crucial role for primary tumor secretome in promoting early metastatic stages, suggesting novel mechanisms to control minimal residual disease.

Project description:The human placenta is covered by a single multinucleated fetal cell, the syncytiotrophoblast, which is bathed in maternal blood. During all pregnancies, membrane enclosed extracellular vesicles derived from the syncytiotrophoblast are extruded into the maternal blood.The large size of these extracellular vesicles (diameter larger than 10µm) is referred to as trophoblastic debris in this study. We have shown in the past that endothleial cells are involved in clearence of this trophoblastic debris and induction of immune tolerence by trophoblastic debris.This study aimed to characterise the transcriptional changes that occur in human vascular endothelial cells following exposure to trophoblastic debris from normal first trimester placentae. Microarrays were used to probe transcriptomic changes 2 and 21 hours after exposure of endothelial cells (Human microvascular endothelial cell line,HMEC-1) to trophoblastic debris from normal first trimester placentae

The protein content in trophoblastic debris was measured by BCA assay. HMEC-1 was co-cultured with trophoblastic debris (60ug/ml total debris protein contents) for either 2 or 21 hours before RNA extraction. Untreated HMEC-1 at 2 and 21 hours were used as controls.In total, 12 samples were analyzed.

Project description:Gene expressions obtained from the total RNA sequencing of 2 choriocarcinomas, 4 epithelioid trophoblastic tumors, and 4 placental site trophoblastic tumors were evaluated for differential gene expression, pathway alteration, fusion gene, infiltrating immune cell type, and PD-L1 expression level, and mutation analysis was performed using the RNA sequencing data.

Project description:Gene expression changes were examined in transgenic MYC-driven liver cancers at different time points as tumors formed and upon early regression. Time points evaluated include: Control (non-tumor bearing), Pre-tumor (mice were removed from doxyclycine in their diet to induce MYC oncogene expression for 4-5 weeks), Tumor (tumor nodules from mice that had been off of doxycycline for 8-9 weeks) and Early tumor regression (tumor-bearing mice were placed back on doxycycline for 72 hrs to inhibit MYC oncogene expresion). MYC-Driven Mouse Tumor Models are described in Schahaf, et al., Nature, 2004 and Goga, et al., Nature Medicine, 2007. 11 Total Samples: 3 Control, 4 Pre-Tumor, 4 Tumor, 4 Early Tumor Regression. Control = LAP-tTA transgenic mice. Others = TRE-MYC x LAP-tTA double transgenic mice (doxy off).

Project description:The term gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) describes a range of pathologies derived from the villous trophoblasts of the placenta. These include benign entities such as partial and complete hydatidiform mole as well as invasive cancers such as gestational choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumors, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumors. Collectively, the malignant forms of GTD are known as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). The risk of GTN following a complete molar pregnancy ranges between 8-25%. Low risk patients are expected to have a high likelihood of response to single agent chemotherapy with methotrexate or actinomycin D, but the incidence of resistance to single agent chemotherapy among low risk patients remains 25-50%. We used gene expression microarrays to compare methotrexate sensitive trophoblastic cell lines to sublines that were conditioned to become methotrexate resistant.

Project description:To gain more insight in the expression and role of microRNAs in trophoblastic cells, we have assessed the miRNA expression pattern of four trophoblastic cell lines and have compared them with the miRNA signature of human isolated 3rd trimester cytotrophoblast cells. Total RNA was reverse-transcribed, pre-amplified with miRNA-specific primers, and loaded into TLDA cards. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed for 768 miRNAs. For each of two cards per sample (A and B), 9 ul of pre-amplified diluted sample was mixed with TaqMan reaction mix (Applied Biosystems) and loaded into miRNA TLDA cards (Applied Biosystems) by centrifugation. Cards were sealed, and qRT-PCR was performed at a real-time thermocycler (ABI-7900, Applied Biosystems) following the manufacturer's recommendations. MiRNA signatures of human primary 3rd trimester trophoblast cells were compared with those of four trophoblastic cell lines
