View SamplesWe previously found that KLF4, a gene highly expressed in adult prostate stem cells, blocks the progression of indolent intraepithelial prostatic lesions into aggressive and rapidly growing tumors. To test whether this anti-cancer effect of KLF4 can also prevent prostate cancer-induced damage to the bone, we ablated KLF4 in human PC3 prostate cancer cells using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and compared their behavior to null cells transduced with a DOX inducible KLF4 expression system. KLF4 re-expression inhibited growth of PC3 null cells in monolayer and as colonies in soft agar in a dose-dependent manner. When injected into the mouse femurs, PC3 null cells proliferated rapidly, forming very large, invasive and osteolytic tumors. Induction of KLF4 expression in PC3 null cells immediately after their intra-femoral inoculation blocked the development of tumors while preserving the normal bone architecture. KLF4 re-expression in established PC3 bone tumors inhibited osteolytic effects of PC3 null cells, preventing bone fractures and inducing a significant osteogenic response with regions of new bone formation. Transcriptome analyses of PC3 cells with no or high KLF4 expression revealed KLF4-dependent osteolytic or osteogenic transcriptional programs, respectively. Importantly, these KLF4-dependent functions significantly overlapped with metastatic prostate cancers in patients. Overall design: Uninfected PC3 KLF4 wild-type cells and uninfected PC3 KLF4 null cells were grown for 48 hours and collected for RNA extraction. Another cohort of PC3 KLF4 null cells was infected with lentiviruses expressing a DOX inducible KLF4 expression construct (BFP-T2A-hKLF4) or the control empty vector (BFP-T2A). After 48 hours, DOX (10 ng/ml) was added to the culture medium to induce KLF4 expression. Control and KLF4-overexpressing cells were collected for RNA extraction after a 48-hour incubation with DOX. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, CA, USA). RNA-Seq libraries were prepared with the TruSeq sample preparation kit (Illumina, CA, USA).

View SamplesTranscriptome analysis of high-grade human ovarian adenocarcinomas. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that two reciprocal pathways, namely oxidative stress response and fibrosis, enable to build a hierarchical cluster of ovarian patients.
miR-141 and miR-200a act on ovarian tumorigenesis by controlling oxidative stress response.

View SamplesPolarity defects are a hallmark of most carcinomas. Cells from invasive micropapillary carcinomas (IMPCs) of the breast are characterized by a striking cell polarity inversion and represent a good model for the analysis of polarity abnormalities. We have performed an in-depth investigation of polarity alterations in 24 IMPCs, compared with invasive carcinomas of no special type (ICNST).
LIN7A is a major determinant of cell-polarity defects in breast carcinomas.

View SamplesPrecursor T-cell lymphoblastic neoplasms are aggressive haematological neoplasm that most often manifest with extensive marrow and blood affectation (T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or T-ALL) or less commonly as a thymic mass with limited bone marrow infiltration (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma or T-LBL). Here we show data from RNA-Seq in a sample series of T-LBL from Spanish patients.The goal was to determine the levels of expression of coding genes and microRNAs, and to identify all genetic variants including SNVs, indels, and fusion transcripts. Overall design: Expression data were determined by comparson of each tumour sample with two control thymuses (404 and 405). Genetic variants were determined by comparison of tumour sequences with canonical ENSEMBL normal-references of each gene.
RNA-Seq reveals the existence of a CDKN1C-E2F1-TP53 axis that is altered in human T-cell lymphoblastic lymphomas.

View SamplesWe compare the genetic profiles of the primary tumors of uveal melanoma or metastasis to their corresponding xenografts that have been passaged over time.
Patient-derived xenografts recapitulate molecular features of human uveal melanomas.

View SamplesA high percentage of uveal melanoma patients develop metastatic tumors that predominately occur in the liver. To identify genes associated with metastasis in this pathology, we studied 63 molecular profiles derived from gene expression microarrays performed from enuceated primary tumors.
High PTP4A3 phosphatase expression correlates with metastatic risk in uveal melanoma patients.

We showed that PAZ6 and SW872 cells exhibit classical molecular and phenotypic markers of brown and white adipocytes, respectively.
