STAT3 Expression, Activity and Functional Consequences of STAT3 Inhibition in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Barrett’S Adenocarcinomas Oncogene (2014) 33, 3256–3266 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/14 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE STAT3 expression, activity and functional consequences of STAT3 inhibition in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and Barrett’s adenocarcinomas S Timme1,11, S Ihde1,11, CD Fichter1,2,11, V Waehle1, L Bogatyreva3, K Atanasov1, I Kohler1, A Scho¨ pflin1, H Geddert4, G Faller4, D Klimstra5, L Tang5, T Reinheckel6,7,8, D Hauschke3, H Busch6,9,10, M Boerries6,9,10, M Werner1,8,9,10 and S Lassmann1,7,8,9,10 Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is altered in several epithelial cancers and represents a potential therapeutic target. Here, STAT3 expression, activity and cellular functions were examined in two main histotypes of esophageal carcinomas. In situ, immunohistochemistry for STAT3 and STAT3-Tyr705 phosphorylation (P-STAT3) in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC, n ¼ 49) and Barrett’s adenocarcinomas (BAC, n ¼ 61) revealed similar STAT3 expression in ESCCs and BACs (P ¼ 0.109), but preferentially activated P-STAT3 in ESCCs (P ¼ 0.013). In vitro, strong STAT3 activation was seen by epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation in OE21 (ESCC) cells, whereas OE33 (BAC) cells showed constitutive weak STAT3 activation. STAT3 knockdown significantly reduced cell proliferation of OE21 (P ¼ 0.0148) and OE33 (P ¼ 0.0243) cells. Importantly, STAT3 knockdown reduced cell migration of OE33 cells by 2.5-fold in two types of migration assays (P ¼ 0.073, P ¼ 0.015), but not in OE21 cells (P ¼ 0.1079, P ¼ 0.386). Investigation of transcriptome analysis of STAT3 knockdown revealed a reduced STAT3 level associated with significant downregulation of cell cycle genes in both OE21 (Po0.0001) and OE33 (P ¼ 0.01) cells. In contrast, genes promoting cell migration (CTHRC1) were markedly upregulated in OE21 cells, whereas a gene linked to tight-junction stabilization and restricted cell motility (SHROOM2) was downregulated in OE21 but upregulated in OE33 cells. This study shows frequent, but distinct, patterns of STAT3 expression and activation in ESCCs and BACs. STAT3 knockdown reduces cell proliferation in ESCC and BAC cells, inhibits migration of BAC cells and may support cell migration of ESCC cells. Thereby, novel STAT3-regulated genes involved in ESCC and BAC cell proliferation and cell migration were identified. Thus, STAT3 may be further exploited as a potential novel therapeutic target, however, by careful distinction between the two histotypes of esophageal cancers.

  • The Direction of Cross Affects Obesity After Puberty in Male but Not Female
    Kärst et al. BMC Genomics (2015) 16:904 DOI 10.1186/s12864-015-2164-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The direction of cross affects obesity after puberty in male but not female offspring Stefan Kärst1†, Danny Arends1†, Sebastian Heise1†, Jan Trost1, Marie-Laure Yaspo2, Vyacheslav Amstislavskiy2, Thomas Risch2, Hans Lehrach2 and Gudrun A. Brockmann1* Abstract Background: We investigated parent-of-origin and allele-specific expression effects on obesity and hepatic gene expression in reciprocal crosses between the Berlin Fat Mouse Inbred line (BFMI) and C57Bl/6NCrl (B6N). Results: We found that F1-males with a BFMI mother developed 1.8 times more fat mass on a high fat diet at 10 weeks than F1-males of a BFMI father. The phenotype was detectable from six weeks on and was preserved after cross-fostering. RNA-seq data of liver provided evidence for higher biosynthesis and elongation of fatty acids (p = 0.00635) in obese male offspring of a BFMI mother versus lean offspring of a BFMI father. Furthermore, fatty acid degradation (p = 0.00198) and the peroxisome pathway were impaired (p = 0.00094). The circadian rhythm was affected as well (p = 0.00087). Among the highest up-regulated protein coding genes in obese males were Acot4 (1.82 fold, p = 0.022), Cyp4a10 (1.35 fold, p = 0.026) and Cyp4a14 (1.32 fold, p = 0.012), which hydroxylize fatty acids and which are known to be increased in liver steatosis. Obese males showed lower expression of the genetically imprinted and paternally expressed 3 (Peg3) gene (0.31 fold, p = 0.046) and higher expression of the androgen receptor (Ar) gene (2.38 fold, p = 0.068).

  • Investigation of Candidate Genes and Mechanisms Underlying Obesity
    Prashanth et al. BMC Endocrine Disorders (2021) 21:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12902-021-00718-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Investigation of candidate genes and mechanisms underlying obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus using bioinformatics analysis and screening of small drug molecules G. Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between

  • Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Similarities and Differences
    Seifert et al. BMC Cancer (2015) 15:952 DOI 10.1186/s12885-015-1939-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Comparative transcriptomics reveals similarities and differences between astrocytoma grades Michael Seifert1,2,5*, Martin Garbe1, Betty Friedrich1,3, Michel Mittelbronn4 and Barbara Klink5,6,7 Abstract Background: Astrocytomas are the most common primary brain tumors distinguished into four histological grades. Molecular analyses of individual astrocytoma grades have revealed detailed insights into genetic, transcriptomic and epigenetic alterations. This provides an excellent basis to identify similarities and differences between astrocytoma grades. Methods: We utilized public omics data of all four astrocytoma grades focusing on pilocytic astrocytomas (PA I), diffuse astrocytomas (AS II), anaplastic astrocytomas (AS III) and glioblastomas (GBM IV) to identify similarities and differences using well-established bioinformatics and systems biology approaches. We further validated the expression and localization of Ang2 involved in angiogenesis using immunohistochemistry. Results: Our analyses show similarities and differences between astrocytoma grades at the level of individual genes, signaling pathways and regulatory networks. We identified many differentially expressed genes that were either exclusively observed in a specific astrocytoma grade or commonly affected in specific subsets of astrocytoma grades in comparison to normal brain. Further, the number of differentially expressed genes generally increased with the astrocytoma grade with one major exception. The cytokine receptor pathway showed nearly the same number of differentially expressed genes in PA I and GBM IV and was further characterized by a significant overlap of commonly altered genes and an exclusive enrichment of overexpressed cancer genes in GBM IV. Additional analyses revealed a strong exclusive overexpression of CX3CL1 (fractalkine) and its receptor CX3CR1 in PA I possibly contributing to the absence of invasive growth.

  • Differences in MWCNT- and SWCNT-Induced DNA Methylation
    Öner et al. Particle and Fibre Toxicology (2018) 15:11 DOI 10.1186/s12989-018-0244-6 RESEARCH Open Access Differences in MWCNT- and SWCNT- induced DNA methylation alterations in association with the nuclear deposition Deniz Öner1†, Manosij Ghosh1†, Hannelore Bové2,3, Matthieu Moisse4,5, Bram Boeckx4,5, Radu C. Duca6,KatrienPoels6, Katrien Luyts1, Eveline Putzeys1,7, Kirsten Van Landuydt7, Jeroen AJ Vanoirbeek1,6,MarcelAmeloot3, Diether Lambrechts4,5, Lode Godderis6,8 and Peter HM Hoet1* Abstract Background: Subtle DNA methylation alterations mediated by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exposure might contribute to pathogenesis and disease susceptibility. It is known that both multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) interact with nucleus. Such, nuclear-CNT interaction may affect the DNA methylation effects. In order to understand the epigenetic toxicity, in particular DNA methylation alterations, of SWCNTs and short MWCNTs, we performed global/genome-wide, gene-specific DNA methylation and RNA-expression analyses after exposing human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE14o- cell line). In addition, the presence of CNTs on/in the cell nucleus was evaluated in a label-free way using femtosecond pulsed laser microscopy. Results: Generally, a higher number of SWCNTs, compared to MWCNTs, was deposited at both the cellular and nuclear level after exposure. Nonetheless, both CNT types were in physical contact with the nuclei. While particle type dependency was noticed for the identified genome-wide and gene-specific alterations, no global DNA methylation alteration on 5- methylcytosine (5-mC) sites was observed for both CNTs. After exposure to MWCNTs, 2398 genes were hypomethylated (at gene promoters), and after exposure to SWCNTs, 589 CpG sites (located on 501 genes) were either hypo- (N = 493 CpG sites) or hypermethylated (N = 96 CpG sites).

  • Validation of Genes Sensitive to P23 Levels in a Different MCF-7 Cell Line Overexpressing P23 [Clone #8]
    Supplementary Figure 1 – Validation of genes sensitive to p23 levels in a different MCF-7 cell line overexpressing p23 [clone #8]. qRT-PCR experiments were performed to show the relative fold-change (RFC) in the expression of six genes from Figure 1c between MCF-7 control (white bars) and MCF-7+p23 (#8) cells (black bars). Data are means of three independent experiments, normalized to GAPDH, and presented as RFC from that of MCF-7 control cells, set to 1. Error bars represent standard deviation. Supplementary Figure 2 – Genes most upregulated or downregulated by p23 overexpression are also overexpressed or under- expressed in invasive breast cancers Differential analyses of microarray datasets from invasive breast cancer subgroups (listed in the Legend) were performed using the Oncomine database (www.oncomine.org) to determine if the ten genes most upregulated or the eighteen genes most downregulated ( > 5-fold, Tables S5-6) by p23 overexpression are also over- or under-expressed in invasive breast cancers. Shown are five of the 10 upregulated and 11 of the 18 downregulated genes that are significantly over- or under-expressed in at least one invasive breast cancer dataset (p-value < 0.05) (* designates those genes that are not considered significant using Oncomine differential analysis, but are associated with invasive cancers in referenced literature). Over-expressed genes ranked highest, based on significance, within a particular dataset are designated with red boxes (or dark blue boxes for under-expressed genes). Pink and light blue boxes indicate genes that are statistically significant, but with lower gene rank. White boxes designate genes that are not statistically significant within a given dataset.

In the present study, we used these data to determine the population allele frequency of common risk variants located in genes associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) and Lynch syndrome (LS). METHODS: Allele frequencies of identied variants were compared with six world populations to detect signicant differences between populations. Finally, we interpreted variants and searched for functional consequences and clinical signicance of variants using publicly available databases. RESULTS: Although we could not identify any pathogenic variants associated with CRC or LS in the Slovak population using NIPT data, we observed signicant differences in the allelic frequency of risk CRC variants previously reported in GWAS and common variants located in genes associated with LS.
