Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Gene Expression Profiles Associated with Response to Chemotherapy in Epithelial Ovarian Cancers Amir A. Jazaeri,1Christopher S. Awtrey,4 Gadisetti V.R. Chandramouli,1 Ya o E r i c Chu a n g, 2 Javed Khan,3 Christos Sotiriou,1Olga Aprelikova,1Cindy J. Yee,4 Kristin K. Zorn,6 Michael J. Birrer,6 J. Carl Barrett,1andJeff Boyd4,5 Abstract Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine whether distinct gene expression profiles are associated with intrinsic and/or acquired chemoresistance in epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Experimental Design: Gene expression profiles were generated from 21primary chemosensi- tive tumors and 24 primary chemoresistant tumors usingcDNA-based microarrays. Gene expres- sion profiles of both groups of primary tumors were then compared with those of 15 ovarian carcinomas obtained followingplatinum-based chemotherapy (‘‘postchemotherapy’’ tumors). A theme discovery tool was used to identify functional categories of genes involved in drug resistance. Results: Comparison of primary chemosensitive and chemoresistant tumors revealed differential expression of 85 genes (P < 0.001). Comparison of gene expression profiles of primary chemo- sensitive tumors and postchemotherapy tumors revealed more robust differences with 760 genes differentiatingthe two groups ( P < 0.001). In contrast, only 230 genes were differentially expressed between primary chemoresistant and postchemotherapy groups (P < 0.001). Common to both gene lists were 178 genes representing transcripts differentially expressed between post- chemotherapy tumors and all primary tumors irrespective of intrinsic chemosensitivity.The gene expression profile of postchemotherapy tumors compared with that of primary tumors revealed statistically significant overrepresentation of genes encoding extracellular matrix ^ related proteins. Conclusions: These data show that gene expression profiling can discriminate primary chemo- resistant from primary chemosensitive ovarian cancers. Gene expression profiles were also identi- fied that correlate with states of intrinsic and acquired chemoresistance and that represent targets for future investigation and potential therapeutic interventions.

    Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Mammalian Forebrain Development

    Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Mammalian Forebrain Development By David Chun Cheong Tsui A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto © Copyright by David Chun Cheong Tsui (2013) Title: Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Mammalian Forebrain Development Name: David Chun Cheong Tsui Degree: Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Department: Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Toronto ABSTRACT While the extrinsic factors regulating neurogenesis in the developing forebrain have been widely studied, the mechanisms downstream of the various signaling pathways are relatively ill-defined. In particular, we focused on proteins that have been implicated in cognitive dysfunction. Here, we ask what role two cell intrinsic factors play in the development of two different neurogenic compartments in the forebrain. In the first part of the thesis, the transcription factor FoxP2, which is mutated in individuals who have specific language deficits, was identified to regulate neurogenesis in the developing cortex, in part by regulating the transition from the radial precursors to the transit amplifying intermediate progenitors. Moreover, we found that ectopic expression of the human homologue of the protein promotes neurogenesis in the murine cortex, thereby acting as a gain-of-function isoform. In the second part of the thesis, the histone acetyltransferase CREB-binding protein (CBP) was identified as regulating the generation of neurons from medial ganglionic eminence precursors, similar to its role in the developing cortex. But CBP also plays a more substantial role in the expression of late interneuron markers, suggesting that it is continuously required for the various stages of neurogenesis at least in the ventral neurogenic niche.

Although EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 2 (EFEMP2), an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein, is regarded as a candidate oncogene, little is known about the association of EFEMP2 and gliomas. Here, the expression of EFEMP2 was significantly increased in glioma tissues (n=60) compared to non-tumorous brain tissues (n=25). Silencing of EFEMP2 expression through RNA interference in two glioma cell lines (U87 and U373) remarkably inhibited cell proliferation and G1/S transition. More importantly, EFEMP2 silencing significantly induced cell apoptosis via increasing the ratio of Bax and Bcl-2. Additionally, knockdown of EFEMP2 significantly inhibited the invasive ability of both glioma cells, which was associated with the downregulated expression of metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9. In conclusion, expression of EFEMP2 was associated with the oncogenic potential of gliomas and silenc- ing of its expression can suppress cancer cell growth and metastasis. Inhibition of EFEMP2 may be a therapeutic strategy for gliomas. Keywords: Apoptosis, EFEMP2, G1/S transition, gliomas, metalloproteinase Introduction ing-EGF-like domains and a unique fibulin C-terminal domain [5].

    1.1.4.1. Tumour Suppressor Genes

    To my Mother and Father Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein Inhibition of Tumourigenicity of Small Cell Lung Cancer by Simultaneous Suppression of Id1 and Id3 Expression Danqing Chen ABSTRACT Inhibitor of DNA binding (Id) proteins are a group of transcription factors belonging to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family and play a wide range of roles in differentiation, proliferation and cell cycle progression. Id proteins act as negative dominant regulators of other bHLH factors by making dimers to these factors to prevent them from binding to E-box of DNA and, hence, to inhibit transcription of target genes. In this work, we first established SCLC cell line N417-derived sublines expressing reduced levels of Id1 and Id3 by transfection of a single vector constructed to co-express two shRNAs simultaneously. Then we investigated the effect of either singly or jointly suppressed Id1 or Id3 on tumourigenicity of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. The molecular mechanisms involved in the functional roles of Id1 and Id3 were also assessed. Id1-suppressed cells and Id1 and Id3 double knockdown cells produced significant reductions in proliferation rate by more than 1.4- and 3.9-fold respectively when compared with the control. Soft agar assay showed the number of colonies produced by Id1-suppressed cells and Id1 and Id3 double knockdown cells were reduced by more than 13.7- and 233-fold respectively compared with the control. The suppression effect was also observed in the invasion assay which showed that Id1-suppressed cells and Id1 and Id3 double knockdown cells produced more than 1.7- and 4.6- fold reduction respectively in relative invasiveness.

Methods: We performed global specific gene expression profiling and functional pathway analysis in purified Sca1+ cells of two MDS transgenic mouse models that mimic human high-risk MDS (HR-MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) post MDS, with NRASD12 and BCL2 transgenes under the control of different promoters MRP8NRASD12/tethBCL-2 or MRP8[NRASD12/hBCL-2], respectively. Results: Analysis of dysregulated genes that were unique to the diseased HR-MDS and AML post MDS mice and not their founder mice pointed first to pathways that had previously been reported in MDS patients, including DNA replication/damage/repair, cell cycle, apoptosis, immune responses, and canonical Wnt pathways, further validating these models at the gene expression level. Interestingly, pathways not previously reported in MDS were discovered.
