Project description:To investigate circadian clocks in human breast tumors, 43 pairs of human samples (tumor and matched normal breast tissues from the same patient) were collected to run bulk-RNAseq, including 29 pairs of Luminal A, 3 pairs of Luminal B, 2 pairs of HER2 and 9 pairs of Triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Studies in shift workers and model organisms link circadian disruption to breast cancer. However, molecular circadian rhythms in noncancerous and cancerous human breast tissues and their clinical relevance are largely unknown. We reconstructed rhythms informatically, integrating locally collected, time-stamped biopsies with public datasets. For noncancerous breast tissue, inflammatory, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and estrogen responsiveness pathways show circadian modulation. Among tumors, clock correlation analysis demonstrates subtype-specific changes in circadian organization. Luminal A organoids and informatic ordering of luminal A samples exhibit continued, albeit dampened and reprogrammed rhythms. However, CYCLOPS magnitude, a measure of global rhythm strength, varied widely among luminal A samples. Cycling of EMT pathway genes was markedly increased in high-magnitude luminal A tumors. Surprisingly, patients with high-magnitude tumors had reduced 5-y survival. Correspondingly, 3D luminal A cultures show reduced invasion following molecular clock disruption. This study links subtype-specific circadian disruption in breast cancer to EMT, metastatic potential, and prognosis.

Project description:Luminal-like breast cancer (BC) constitutes the majority of BC subtypes, but, differently from highly aggressive triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), is poorly infiltrated by the immune system. The quality of the immune infiltrate in luminal-like BCs has been poorly studied, thus a biological basis for the further investigation of immunotherapeutic strategies is missing. By using high-dimensional single-cell technologies, we identified heterogeneous behavior within the tissue-resident memory CD8+ T (Trm) cells infiltrating luminal-like tumors. We defined that a subset of CD127- CD39hi Trm cells is preferentially present in the tumor compared to the adjacent normal breast tissue or peripheral blood, displayed enhanced effector functions compared to the CD127+ CD39lo Trm counterpart, and was specifically associated with positive prognosis. Nevertheless, the prognostic benefit was lost in the presence of highly-suppressive CCR8hi ICOShi IRF4+ effector Tregs. Our results suggest that combinatorial strategies aiming at boosting Trm function while relieving from Treg-mediated immunosuppression are needed to achieve proper tumor control in luminal-like BCs.

Project description:Background - Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are heterogeneous tumors with respect to etiology, cell of origin and biology. The course of the disease is unpredictable and is in part dependent on the tumor microenvironment. One of the microenvironmental factors is hypoxia, which is known to promote aggressiveness in other malignant tumors. We hypothesized that certain regions in HCC exist with chronic hypoxia and a characteristic gene expression pattern. Moreover, during the development of HCC there is an important contribution of this chronic hypoxia on prognosis via this gene expression. Until now, most research has been performed in acute hypoxic models (< 24 hours). Methods – Human hepatoblastoma cells HepG2 were cultured in either normoxic (20% O2) or hypoxic (2% O2) conditions for 72 hrs, the time it takes to adapt to chronic hypoxia. After 3 days the cells were harvested and analyzed by microarray technology. The highly significant differentially expressed genes were selected and used to assess the clinical value of our in vitro chronic hypoxia gene signature in four published patient studies. Three of these independent microarray studies on HCC patients were used as training sets to determine a minimal prognostic gene set and one study was used for validation. Gene expression analysis and correlation with clinical outcome was assessed with the bioinfomatic method of Goeman et al (). Results – In the HepG2 cells, 3592 genes were differentially expressed in cells cultured at 2% oxygen for 72 hrs. Out of these, 265 showed a high significant change (2-fold change and p=0.0001). The level of gene expression after 72 hrs was different from the acute hypoxic response (during the first 24 hours) and represented chronicity. Using computational methods we identified 7 out of the 265 highly significant genes that showed correlation with prognosis in all three different training sets and this was independently validated in a 4th dataset. With our approach we could include the largest number of HCC patients in one single study. Conclusion – We identified a 7-gene signature, which is associated with chronic hypoxia and predicts prognosis in patients with HCC. In the future this signature could be used as a diagnostic tool. In addition, chronic hypoxia gene expression information can be used in the search for new therapeutic targets. Two conditions were compared and each sample has a biological replicate. Samples are hybridized in dye-swap, resulting in 4 hybridizations.

Project description:Human subjects were randomized for treatment with a GnRH-analogue, Goserelin, which suppresses endogenous testosterone or placebo for 12 weeks. Strength training was performed during the last 8 weeks. The suppression of testosterone resulted in an attenuation of the normal muscle adaptation to strength training (increased muscle mass and strength). To identify molecular signals involved in the response to testosterone levels, biopsies were obtained 4 hours after the last training session and gene expression compared with Affymetrix 3' microarrays. This timepoint should capture goserelin effect on both constitutive expression, training induced changes as well as acute exercise induced (4 hours) differences in mRNA levels. Four subject from the placebo group and five subjects from the Goserelin group were compared. Total RNA from vastus lateralis mmuscle biopsies were purified and analyzed on Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays.

Project description:The transcription factor c-Myb has been well characterized as an oncogene in several human tumor types, and its expression in the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell population is essential for proper hematopoiesis. However, the role of c-Myb in mammopoeisis and breast tumorigenesis is poorly understood, despite its high expression in the majority of breast cancer cases (60-80%). We find that c-Myb high expression in human breast tumors correlates with the luminal/ER+ phenotype and a good prognosis. RNAi knock-down of endogenous c-Myb levels in the MCF7 luminal breast tumor cell line increases tumorigenesis both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a tumor suppressor role in luminal breast cancer. We created a mammary-derived c-Myb expression signature and found it to be highly correlated with a published mature luminal mammary cell signature and least correlated with a mammary stem/progenitor lineage gene signature. These data describe, for the first time, a tumor suppressor role for the c-Myb proto-oncogene in breast cancer that has implications for understanding luminal tumorigenesis and for guiding treatment. refXsample

Project description:Circadian clocks drive 24-h rhythms of physiology and behavior. The circadian clock of hepatocytes has been shown to regulate glucose metabolism, and we were interested if rescuing liver clock function can reverse metabolic impairments in hyperphagic/obese Clock-D19 mutant mice. We compared transcripomte regulation in livers (at Zeitgeber time ZT10) of wild-type (C57BL/6J) and Clock-D19 mice and Clock-D19 mice with genetic rescue of liver clock function using hydrodynamic tail vein injection of a WT-CLOCK expression plasmid
