We integrated these data with DNA methylation profiles of the same samples to identify potential DNA methylation regulated genes.

View SamplesWe have developed cdk4/hTERT-immortalized normal human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) to study lung cancer pathogenesis. By studying the oncogenic effect of common lung cancer alterations (p53, KRAS, and c-MYC) we demonstrate the ability of this model to characterize the stepwise transformation of bronchial epithelial cells to full malignancy. Using HBECs derived from multiple individuals we found: 1) the combination of five genetic alterations (p53, KRASV12, c-MYC, CDK4 and hTERT) is sufficient for full tumorigenic conversion of HBECs; 2) high levels of KRASV12 are required for full malignant transformation of HBECs, however these levels also stimulate oncogene-induced senescence; 3) RAS-induced senescence is largely bypassed with loss of p53 function; 4) over-expression of c-MYC greatly enhances malignancy but only in the context of sh-p53+KRASV12; 5) HBECs from different individuals vary in their sensitivity to transformation by these oncogenic manipulations; 6) serum-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) increases in vivo tumorigenicity; 7) genetically-identical clones of transformed HBECs exhibit pronounced differences in tumor growth, histology, and differentiation as well as sensitivity to standard platinum-based chemotherapies; and 8) an mRNA signature derived from tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic clones is predictive of outcome in lung cancer patients. Collectively, we demonstrate this HBEC model system can be used to study the effect of oncogenic mutations on malignant progression, oncogene-induced senescence, and EMT along with clinically translatable applications such as development of prognostic signatures and drug response phenotypes.

View SamplesDiamond Blackfan anemia is a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by hypoproliferative anemia, often with associated physical abnormalities. Perturbations of the ribosome appear critically important to the development of DBA, as alterations in 9 different ribosomal protein genes have been identified in multiple unrelated families, along with rarer abnormalities of additional ribosomal proteins. However, presently only 50-60% of patients have an identifiable genetic lesion by ribosomal protein gene sequencing. Using genome-wide SNP array to evaluate for regions of recurrent copy variation, we identified 2 patients with mosaic loss in the region of the the chromosome 5-deleted region involved in somatically-acquired 5q- myelodysplastic syndrome.
Diminutive somatic deletions in the 5q region lead to a phenotype atypical of classical 5q- syndrome.

View SamplesUsing an in vitro model for malignant transformation of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) we have found epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and expression of the EMT-transcription factor ZEB1 are early and critical events. Specifically, we found preexisting oncogenic mutations in TP53 and KRAS were required for HBECs to engage EMT machinery in response to microenvironmental (serum/TGF) or specific oncogenetic (MYC) EMT-inducing factors, which induce EMT through distinct TGF-dependent and vitamin D receptor (VDR)-dependent pathways, respectively, with both requiring ZEB1. Functional studies demonstrated ZEB1 causally promotes the malignant progression of HBECs and tumorigenicity of NSCLC and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) lines. Mechanistically ZEB1 directly represses ESRP1 leading to increased mesenchymal splicing of CD44, which drives a switch to CD44hi status and defines a highly transformed subpopulation. This was supported by finding ZEB1 is expressed in early-stage primary non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), as early as stage IB tumors, and its expression correlates with TNM stage. We conclude that: ZEB1-induced EMT and associated ESRP1 and CD44 molecular changes are important biomarkers for lung cancer pathogenesis; TGF and VDR are EMT chemoprevention targets; and as such, ZEB1 represents an important therapeutic target in NSCLC and SCLC.
