Project description:Mouse models of ovarian cancer commonly involve tumor cell transfer into the peritoneal cavity to establish metastatic disease. However, once disease has become established and disseminated through the abdomen, surgical cytoreduction in mice is not feasible. We set out to develop an ovarian cancer model amenable to surgical cytoreduction to mimic clinical treatment paradigms.

Project description:ObjectivesMouse models of ovarian cancer commonly transfer large numbers of tumor cells into the peritoneal cavity to establish experimental metastatic disease, which may not adequately model early metastatic spread from a primary tumor site. We hypothesized we could develop an ovarian cancer model that predictably represents micro-metastatic disease.MethodsMurine ID8VEGF ovarian cancer cells were transduced to express enhanced luciferase (eLuc) to enable intravital detection of microscopic disease burden and injected beneath the ovarian bursa of C57Bl/6 mice. At 6 or 10 weeks after orthotopic injection, when mice had detectable metastases, hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed to remove all macroscopic disease, and survival monitored. Immunohistochemistry and gene expression profiling were performed on primary and metastatic tumors.ResultseLuc-transduced ID8VEGF cells were brighter than cells transduced with standard luciferase, enabling in vivo visualization of microscopic intra-abdominal metastases developing after orthotopic injection. Primary surgical cytoreduction removed the primary tumor mass but left minimal residual disease in all mice. Metastatic sites that developed following orthotopic injection were similar to metastatic human ovarian cancer sites. Gene expression and immune infiltration were similar between primary and metastatic mouse tumors. Surgical cytoreduction prolonged survival compared to no surgery, with earlier cytoreduction more beneficial than delayed, despite micro-metastatic disease in both settings.ConclusionsMice with primary ovarian tumors established through orthotopic injection develop progressively fatal metastatic ovarian cancer, and benefit from surgical cytoreduction to remove bulky disease. This model enables the analysis of therapeutic regimens designed to target and potentially eradicate established minimal residual disease.

Project description:Breast cancer brain metastasis remains largely incurable. While several mouse models have been developed to investigate the genes and mechanisms regulating breast cancer brain metastasis, these models often lack clinical relevance since they require the use of immune-compromised mice and/or are poorly metastatic to brain from the mammary gland. We describe the development and characterization of an aggressive brain metastatic variant of the 4T1 syngeneic model (4T1Br4) that spontaneously metastasises to lung, bone and brain but is selectively more metastatic to the brain from the mammary gland than parental 4T1 tumors. The 4T1Br4 model will provide a clinically relevant tool to evaluate novel therapies against brain metastasis.

Project description:Cerebral palsy (CP) represents a group of non-progressive clinically heterogeneous disorders that are characterized by motor impairment and early age-of-onset, frequently accompanied by co-morbidities. The cause of CP has historically been attributed to environmental stressors resulting in brain damage. While genetic risk factors are also implicated, guidelines for diagnostic assessment of CP do not recommend for routine genetic testing. Given numerous reports of etiologic copy number variations (CNVs) in other neurodevelopmental disorders, we used microarrays to genotype a population-based prospective cohort of children with CP and their parents. Here we identify de novo CNVs in 8/115 (7.0%) CP patients (~1% rate in controls). In four children, large chromosomal abnormalities deemed pathogenic were found, and they were significantly more likely to have severe neuro-motor impairments than those CP subjects without such alterations. Overall the CNV data would have impacted our diagnosis or classification of CP in 11/115 (9.6%) families.

Clinically Relevant Copy Number Variations Detected in Cerebral Palsy. Nature Communications, 2015. Following our rigorous quality control procedure, we successfully genotyped 147 proband samples from individuals with cerebral palsy (81 males and 66 females) and 282 samples obtained from parents (134 males and 148 females). This facilitated the identification of de novo and rare inherited copy number variations of clinical interest.

Project description:Research in transplant immunology using non-human primate (NHP) species to evaluate immunologic strategies to prevent rejection and prolong allograft survival has yielded results that have translated successfully into human organ transplant patient management. Other therapies have not proceeded to human translation due to failure in NHP testing, arguably sparing humans the futility and risk of such testing. The NHP transplant models are ethically necessary for drug development in this field and provide the closest analogue to human transplant patients available. The refinement of this resource with respect to colony MHC typing, reagent and assay development, and availability to the research community has greatly enhanced knowledge about transplant immunology and drug development.
