View SamplesReliable clinical tests for predicting cancer chemotherapy response are not available and individual markers failed to correctly predict resistance against anticancer agents. We hypothesized that gene expression patterns attributable to chemotherapy-resistant cells can be used as a classification tool for chemoresistance and provide novel candidate genes involved in anthracycline resistance mechanisms. We contrasted the expression profiles of 4 different human tumor cell lines of gastric, pancreatic, colon and breast origin and of their counterparts resistant to the topoisomerase inhibitors daunorubicin or doxorubicin. We also profiled the sensitive parental cells treated with doxorubicin for 24h. We interrogated Affymetrix HGU133A and U95A arrays independently. We applied two independent methods for data normalization and used Prediction Analysis of Microarrays (PAM) for feature selection. In addition, we established data sets related to drug resistance by using a virtual array composed of features represented on both types of oligonucleotide arrays. We identified 71 candidate genes associated with doxorubicine/daunorubicine resistance. To validate the microarray data, we also analyzed the expression of 12 selected genes by quantitative RT-PCR or immunocytochemistry, respectively. While the comparison of drug-sensitive versus drug-resistant cells yields candidates associated with drug resistance, the 24h treatment of sensitive parental cells produced a distinct transcriptional profile related to short-term drug effects.
PSMB7 is associated with anthracycline resistance and is a prognostic biomarker in breast cancer.

View SamplesWe recently identified pathogenic KIF1Bb mutations in sympathetic nervous system malignancies that are defective in developmental apoptosis. Here we deleted KIF1Bb in the mouse sympathetic nervous system based on a cre recombination system driven by the dopamine beta hydroxylase (DBH) promoter. We observed impaired sympathetic nervous function and misexpression of genes required for sympathoadrenal lineage differentiation in KIF1Bb deficient sympathetic ganglia. Overall design: We analyzed superior cervical ganglia from post-natal day 1 mice. We compared ganglia from four wild-type control animals (KIF1Bb fl/fl) with ganglia from four animals with conditional knockout of KIF1Bb (KIF1Bb fl/fl : DBHcre +/-).
Neuroblast differentiation during development and in neuroblastoma requires KIF1Bβ-mediated transport of TRKA.

Identification of distinct changes in gene expression after modulation of melanoma tumor antigen p97 (melanotransferrin) in multiple models in vitro and in vivo.

View SamplesMelanoma tumor antigen p97 or melanotransferrin (MTf) is an iron (Fe)-binding protein with high homology to serum transferrin. MTf is expressed at very low levels in normal tissues and in high amounts in melanoma cells. The over-expression of MTf in tumor cells was hypothesized to assist rapidly proliferating neoplastic cells with their increased Fe requirements. However, our recent characterization of the MTf knockout (MTf -/-) mouse demonstrated that MTf did not have an essential role in Fe metabolism. To understand the function of MTf, we utilized whole-genome microarray analysis to examine the gene expression profile of five models after modulating MTf expression. These models included two new stably transfected MTf hyper-expression models (SK-N-MC neuroepithelioma and LMTK- fibroblasts) and one cell type (SK-Mel-28 melanoma) where MTf was down-regulated by post-transcriptional gene silencing. These findings were compared to alterations in gene expression identified using the MTf -/- mouse. In addition, the changes identified from the gene array data were also assessed in a new model of MTf down-regulation in SK-Mel-2 melanoma cells. In the cell line models, MTf hyper-expression led to increased cellular proliferation, while MTf down-regulation resulted in decreased proliferation. Across all five models of MTf down- and up-regulation, we identified three genes modulated by MTf expression. These included ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 5 (Abcb5), whose change in expression mirrored MTf down- or up-regulation. In addition, thiamine triphosphatase (Thtpa) and transcription factor 4 (Tcf4) were inversely expressed relative to MTf levels across all five models. The products of these three genes are involved in membrane transport, thiamine phosphorylation and cell proliferation/survival, respectively. This study identifies novel molecular targets directly or indirectly regulated by MTf and potential pathways involved in its function. These molecular targets could be involved, at least in part, to the role of MTf in modulating proliferation.
