Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the function of TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A) in the tumorigenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC). Methods RNA-seq gene expression and clinical information for GC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between GC tissue samples and normal controls were screened with the edgeR package. Identification of gene co-expression and functional enrichment analyses were performed with Pearson’s correlation analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), respectively. Lastly, survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log rank test. Results TL1A expression in GC tissue samples were significantly higher than that in normal controls (LogFC=1.07 and P=8.90E-07). Moreover, 215 genes, co-expressed with TL1A, and 21 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were obtained. Next, the miRNA-lncRNA/mRNA network, comprising 7 miRNAs, 27 lncRNAs, and 21 mRNAs, was constructed based on key genes from intersections between co-expression analysis and GSEA. In addition, survival analysis results demonstrated that TL1A (P=2.6e−07) was significantly associated with the overall survival (OS) of GC patients. Conclusion TL1A was involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of GC, and was significantly associated with the OS of GC patients.

[PMID: 29695913 PMCID: PMC5905521 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s162503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives 1) Analyze the correlation of SIRT1 and Src with human breast cancer (BC) prognosis; 2) explore the roles of SIRT1 and Src in BC cell proliferation, tumor invasion, and metastasis; and 3) analyze the correlation and interaction between SIRT1 and Src. Materials and methods 1) Tissue microarray was used to analyze the expression of SIRT1 and Src in human BC tissues and the correlation between protein expression and cancer prognosis; 2) CCK8 assay was used to determine the influence of SIRT1 and Src inhibitors on BC cell proliferation; 3) Transwell migration assay and wound healing assay were used to determine the effect of SIRT1 and Src inhibitors on BC cell migration and invasion; and 4) Western blotting was used to analyze the correlation and interaction between SIRT1 and Src. Results 1) Combination of SIRT1 and/or Src positivity is a prognosis factor in BC, especially in luminal type; 2) MCF-7 cell proliferation is suppressed by SIRT1 inhibitor Ex527, and cell migration and invasion were inhibited by Src inhibitor bosutinib; 3) combined with Ex527, bosutinib has a significantly increased effect on MCF-7 cell migration suppression; and 4) there is a positive association between SIRT1 and Src both in BC tissues and in MCF-7 cells. Conclusion 1) SIRT1 and Src overexpression are both correlated with poor prognosis in human BC; 2) SIRT1 + Src (SIRT1 and/or Src positivity) is a fine prognosis model for luminal-type BC; 3) SIRT1 is a copromotor of Src in BC migration and invasion, but not in cell proliferation; and 4) our results suggest a potential interaction or a common regulation pathway between SIRT1 and Src expression and activity.

Elias D, Vever H, Lænkholm AV, Gjerstorff MF, Yde CW, Lykkesfeldt AE, Ditzel HJ. Gene expression profiling identifies FYN as an important molecule in tamoxifen resistance and a predictor of early recurrence in patients treated with endocrine therapy. Oncogene 2014; 34:1919-27. [PMID: 24882577 DOI: 10.1038/onc.2014.138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2013] [Revised: 03/13/2014] [Accepted: 03/26/2014] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer, we performed gene array analyses and identified 366 genes with altered expression in four unique tamoxifen-resistant (TamR) cell lines vs the parental tamoxifen-sensitive MCF-7/S0.5 cell line. Most of these genes were functionally linked to cell proliferation, death and control of gene expression, and include FYN, PRKCA, ITPR1, DPYD, DACH1, LYN, GBP1 and PRLR. Treatment with FYN-specific small interfering RNA or a SRC family kinase inhibitor reduced cell growth of TamR cell lines while exerting no significant effect on MCF-7/S0.5 cells. Moreover, overexpression of FYN in parental tamoxifen-sensitive MCF-7/S0.5 cells resulted in reduced sensitivity to tamoxifen treatment, whereas knockdown of FYN in the FYN-overexpressing MCF-7/S0.5 cells restored sensitivity to tamoxifen, demonstrating growth- and survival-promoting function of FYN in MCF-7 cells. FYN knockdown in TamR cells led to reduced phosphorylation of 14-3-3 and Cdc25A, suggesting that FYN, by activation of important cell cycle-associated proteins, may overcome the anti-proliferative effects of tamoxifen. Evaluation of the subcellular localization of FYN in primary breast tumors from two cohorts of endocrine-treated ER+ breast cancer patients, one with advanced disease (N=47) and the other with early disease (N=76), showed that in the former, plasma membrane-associated FYN expression strongly correlated with longer progression-free survival (P<0.0002). Similarly, in early breast cancer patients, membrane-associated expression of FYN in the primary breast tumor was significantly associated with increased metastasis-free (P<0.04) and overall (P<0.004) survival independent of tumor size, grade or lymph node status. Our results indicate that FYN has an important role in tamoxifen resistance, and its subcellular localization in breast tumor cells may be an important novel biomarker of response to endocrine therapy in breast cancer.

Critical research gaps and translational priorities for the successful prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res 2013; 15:R92. [PMID: 24286369 PMCID: PMC3907091 DOI: 10.1186/bcr3493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 275] [Impact Index Per Article: 25.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2013] [Accepted: 09/12/2013] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer remains a significant scientific, clinical and societal challenge. This gap analysis has reviewed and critically assessed enduring issues and new challenges emerging from recent research, and proposes strategies for translating solutions into practice. METHODS More than 100 internationally recognised specialist breast cancer scientists, clinicians and healthcare professionals collaborated to address nine thematic areas: genetics, epigenetics and epidemiology; molecular pathology and cell biology; hormonal influences and endocrine therapy; imaging, detection and screening; current/novel therapies and biomarkers; drug resistance; metastasis, angiogenesis, circulating tumour cells, cancer 'stem' cells; risk and prevention; living with and managing breast cancer and its treatment. The groups developed summary papers through an iterative process which, following further appraisal from experts and patients, were melded into this summary account. RESULTS The 10 major gaps identified were: (1) understanding the functions and contextual interactions of genetic and epigenetic changes in normal breast development and during malignant transformation; (2) how to implement sustainable lifestyle changes (diet, exercise and weight) and chemopreventive strategies; (3) the need for tailored screening approaches including clinically actionable tests; (4) enhancing knowledge of molecular drivers behind breast cancer subtypes, progression and metastasis; (5) understanding the molecular mechanisms of tumour heterogeneity, dormancy, de novo or acquired resistance and how to target key nodes in these dynamic processes; (6) developing validated markers for chemosensitivity and radiosensitivity; (7) understanding the optimal duration, sequencing and rational combinations of treatment for improved personalised therapy; (8) validating multimodality imaging biomarkers for minimally invasive diagnosis and monitoring of responses in primary and metastatic disease; (9) developing interventions and support to improve the survivorship experience; (10) a continuing need for clinical material for translational research derived from normal breast, blood, primary, relapsed, metastatic and drug-resistant cancers with expert bioinformatics support to maximise its utility. The proposed infrastructural enablers include enhanced resources to support clinically relevant in vitro and in vivo tumour models; improved access to appropriate, fully annotated clinical samples; extended biomarker discovery, validation and standardisation; and facilitated cross-discipline working. CONCLUSIONS With resources to conduct further high-quality targeted research focusing on the gaps identified, increased knowledge translating into improved clinical care should be achievable within five years.
