Project description:Genetic versus chemoprotective activation of Nrf2 signaling: overlapping yet distinct hepatic gene expression profiles between Keap1 knockout and triterpenoid treated mice; Loss of Nrf2 signaling increases susceptibility to acute toxicity, inflammation, and carcinogenesis in mice due to the inability to mount adaptive responses. By contrast, disruption of Keap1 (a cytoplasmic modifier of Nrf2 turnover) protects against these stresses in mice; although dominant negative mutations in Keap1 have been identified recently in some human cancers. Global characterization of Nrf2 activation is important to exploit this pathway for chemoprevention in healthy, yet at-risk individuals and also to elucidate the consequences of hijacking the pathway in Keap1-mutant human cancers. This analysis also enables a global characterization of the pharmacodynamic action of CDDO-Im at a low dose that is relevant to chemoprevention. Experiment Overall Design: Liver-targeted conditional Keap1-null (CKO) mice provide a model of genetic activation of Nrf2 signaling. By coupling global gene expression analysis of CKO mice with analysis of pharmacologic activation using the synthetic oleanane triterpenoid CDDO-Im, we are able to gain insight into pathways affected by Nrf2 activation. CDDO-Im is an extremely potent activator of Nrf2 signaling. CKO mice were used to identify genes modulated by genetic activation of Nrf2 signaling. The CKO response was compared to hepatic global gene expression changes in wild-type mice treated with CDDO-Im at a maximal Nrf2 activating dose. n=3/group, male 9 week old mice were used. Mice were treated with a single dose of vehicle (10% Cremophor-EL, 10% DMSO, and PBS) or 30 umol CDDO-Im/kg body weight by gavage and sacrificed 6 h later.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common etiology of dementia. The transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) induces the expression of genes encoding phase II detoxification and antioxidant genes. NRF2 is regulated by Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), and the KEAP1-NRF2 system is the key regulatory system involved in cytoprotection. To examine whether pharmacological induction of NRF2 expression alleviates AD phenotypes in vivo, we employed two AD mouse models, i.e., AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F (AppNLGF) and APPV717I::TAUP301L (APP/TAU) mice. As the synthetic oleanane triterpenoid 1-[2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11-dien-28-oyl)] (CDDO)-4(-pyridin-2-yl)-imidazole (CDDO-2P-Im) exhibits strong NRF2-inducing activity, in this study, we treated AD model mice with CDDO-2P-Im.

Project description:FUS-CHOP and EWS-CHOP balanced translocations characterize myxoid liposarcoma which encompasses myxoid (ML) and round cell (RC) variants initially believed to be distinct diseases. Currently, myxoid and RC liposarcoma are regarded to represent the well differentiated and the poorly differentiated ends, respectively, within spectrum of myxoid liposarcoma where the fusion proteins blocking lipogenic differentiation play a role in tumor initiation while molecular determinants associated to progression to RC remain poorly understood. Activation of AKT pathway sustained by PIK3CA and PTEN mutations and growth factor receptor signalling such as RET and IGF1R have been recently correlated with the increasing of aggressiveness and RC. Aim of the present study is to elucidate molecular events involved in driving round cell progression analyzing two small series of MLS selected to be representative of the two end of the gamut: the pure myxoid (0% of RC component) and RC with high cellular component (≥80%).

The validation series (INT-B) consisted of cryopreserved samples obtained from 12 patients. Six cases were pure myxoid and six were pure RC. The diagnoses were confirmed by means of FISH analysis, which revealed CHOP rearrangement, or by RT-PCR searching for the transcript type. Different molecular variants of the fusion transcript have been described by Powers MP et al. (Mod Pathol. 2010).

Project description:Soft tissue sarcomas are a diverse set of fatal human tumors where few agents have demonstrable clinical efficacy, with the standard therapeutic combination of doxorubicin and ifosfamide showing only a 25-30% response rate in large multi-institutional trials. Although liposarcomas are the most common histological form of adult soft tissue sarcomas, research in this area is severely hampered by the lack of experimentally tractable in vitro model systems. To this end, here we describe a novel in vitro model for human pleomorphic liposarcoma. The cell line (LS2) is derived from a pleomorphic liposarcoma that utilizes Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) mechanism of telomere maintenance, which may be particularly important in modulating the response of this tumor type to DNA damaging agents. We present detailed baseline molecular and genomic data, including genome wide copy number and transcriptome profiles, for this model compared to its parental tumor and a panel of liposarcomas covering multiple histologies. The model has retained essentially all of the detectable alterations in copy number that are seen in the parental tumor, and shows molecular karyotypic and expression profiles consistent with pleomorphic liposarcomas. We also demonstrate the utility of this model, together with two additional human liposarcoma cell lines, to investigate the relationship between topoisomerase 2A expression and the sensitivity of ALT-positive liposarcomas to doxorubicin. This model, together with its associated baseline data, provide a powerful new tool to develop treatments for this clinically poorly-tractable tumor, and to investigate the contribution that ALT makes to modulating sensitivity to DNA damaging chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin. Affymetrix U133 2.0 expression analyses were performed for 30 liposarcoma tumors, including 2 recurrences of 2 tumors. In addition, analyses were performed for three replicates of a tumor-derived cell line, LS2, as well as the tumor from which it was derived (5228). Finally, the Affymetrix Human Genome 50K DNA Mapping Array was used to determine copy number profiles for two Passages of LS2, as well as tumor 5228.
