Project description:Estrogen signals play an important role in the phenotype of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. However, comprehensive analyses of the effect of estrogen signals on the tumor microenvironment and sur-vival in large cohorts of primary breast cancer patients have been lacking. We aimed to test the hypothesis that estrogen reactivity affects gene expression and immune cell infiltration profiles in the tumor microenvi-ronment and survival.

Project description:PurposeEstrogen signals play an important role in the phenotype of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. However, comprehensive analyses of the effect of responsiveness to estrogen signals on the tumor microenvironment and survival in large cohorts of primary breast cancer patients have been lacking. We aimed to test the hypothesis that estrogen reactivity affects gene expression and immune cell infiltration profiles in the tumor microenvironment and survival.MethodsA total of 3,098 breast cancer cases were analyzed: 1,904 from the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer (METABRIC) cohort, 1,082 from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort, and 112 from the Hokkaido University Hospital cohort. We divided the group into estrogen reactivity-high and estrogen reactivity-low groups utilizing the scores of ESTROGEN_RESPONSE_EARLY and ESTROGEN_RESPONSE_LATE in Gene Set Variation Analysis.ResultsBreast cancer with high estrogen reactivity was related to Myc targets, metabolism-related signaling, cell stress response, TGF-beta signaling, androgen response, and MTORC1 signaling gene sets in the tumor microenvironment. Low estrogen reactivity was related to immune-related proteins, IL2-STAT5 signaling, IL6-JAK-STAT3 signaling, KRAS signaling, cell cycle-related gene sets, and EMT. In addition, breast cancer with high levels of estrogen reactivity had low immune cytolytic activity and low levels of immunostimulatory cells. It also had low levels of stimulatory and inhibitory factors of the cancer immunity cycle. Patients with high estrogen reactivity were also associated with a better prognosis.ConclusionWe demonstrated the relationship between estrogen reactivity and the profiles of immune cells and gene expression, as well as survival.

Project description:Introduction: A gene expression signature indicative of active wound responses is common to more than 90% of non-neoplastic tissues adjacent to breast cancer, but these tissues also show substantial heterogeneity, suggesting different microenvironmental subtypes. Genomic variation in the extratumoral microenvironment has received limited study. Methods: Gene expression analysis from 72 patient-derived samples adjacent to invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ was evaluated. Unsupervised clustering identified two distinct gene expression subgroups that differed substantially in expression of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We evaluated the prognostic and biological relevance of this extratumoral EMT-like signature using clinical and experimental approaches. Results: We found that the extratumoral EMT-like signature was not significantly associated with overall survival among all patients [Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.4, 95% CI 0.6 - 2.8, p=0.337], but there was a strong association with overall survival among estrogen receptor (ER)-positive patients [HR = 2.5, 95% CI 0.9 – 6.7, p=0.062] or hormone-treated patients [HR=2.6, 95% CI 1.0 – 7.0, p=0.045]. In addition, co-culturing of ER-positive MCF-7 cells with cells undergoing EMT increased migration of MCF7 cells in a TGF-β1 dependent manner. Conclusion: Together, these results suggest that the presence of an EMT-like signature in the cancer-adjacent extratumoral microenvironment may influence the aggressiveness of the ER-positive tumors and that ER-positive patients with these extratumoral signatures may require additional treatments or more aggressive surgeries. Reference vs. test sample. 74 test samples (12 breast tumors, 62 normal tissue adjacent to breast tumor) from 72 patients.

Project description:Homologous-recombination deficiency (HRD) is closely related to PARPi benefit in ovarian cancer (OC). The capacity of BRCA1 promoter methylation to predict prognosis and HRD status remains unclear. We aimed to correlate BRCA1 promoter methylation levels in patients with high-grade OC to HRD status and clinical behavior to assess its clinical relevance.

Project description:Epidemiological studies highlight a strong association between obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC). This association appears stronger in men and a role for sex hormones is indicated by epidemiological studies. Especially estrogen is protective against CRC and correlated to several aspects of the metabolic syndrome. Anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic effects of estrogen in colon have been demonstrated to act via estrogen receptor beta (ERβ). This led us to hypothesize that estrogenic signaling, through both systemic and local effects might modulate the colon microenvironment during HFD-induced obesity. In order to test our hypothesis mice were fed a control diet or a high fat diet (HFD) for 3 weeks and treated with different estrogenic ligands. In the present study, we demonstrate that there are sex-differences in the response to HFD-induced obesity and in the colon transcriptome. Both sexes develop obesity with an impaired circadian rhythm but the male metabolic profile is more sensitive to HFD and increased the colon epithelial cell proliferation. Females were resistant to impaired glucose metabolism, but HFD-feeding increased the infiltration of macrophages. Estrogen signaling in males, via ERα, presented anti-obesogenic effects. However, systemic and/or local activation of both ERα and ERβ restored the circadian rhythm in the males. In females, systemic activation of ERα restored the circadian rhythm, however, systemic and/or local activation of ERβ down-regulated the expression of macrophage markers. These results suggest that estrogen signaling through systemic and/or local activation of ERβ can regulate the colon microenvironment during HFD-induced obesity.

Project description:Platelet reactivity (PR) in cardiovascular (CV) patients is variable between individuals and modulates clinical outcome. However, the determinants of platelet reactivity are largely unknown. Integration of data derived from high-throughput omics technologies may yield novel insights into the molecular mechanisms that govern platelet reactivity. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes modulating platelet reactivity in aspirin-treated cardiovascular patients PR was assessed in 110 CV patients treated with aspirin 100mg/d by aggregometry using several agonists. 12 CV patients with extreme high or low PR were selected for transcriptomics, proteomics and miRNA analysis. 2 extreme patient groups, 6 samples per group
