Microarray screening of differentially expressed genes after up-regulating miR-205 or down-regulating miR-141 in cervical cancer cells

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. However,studies on the expression and molecular mechanism of miR-205 and miR-141 in CC are insufficient recently. Expression profile microarray with 21329 Oligo DNA were used to detect the expression of mRNAs in miR-205 up-regulated or miR-141 down-regulated HeLa and SiHa cells and mRNAs in normal HeLa and SiHa cells. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway were performed to assess the potential pathways of miR-205 in SiHa cell.Compared with normal HeLa cell, there were 38 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in miR-205 up-regulated HeLa cell. Nine were up-regulation genes and 29 were down-regulation genes. There were 23 DEGs in miR-141 down-regulated HeLa cell. One was up-regulated and 22 were down-regulated. Compared with normal SiHa cell, there were 128 DEGs in miR-205 up-regulated SiHa cell. One hundred and three were up-regulation genes and 25 were down-regulation genes. There were 80 DEGs in miR-141 down-regulated SiHa cell. Forty two were up-regulation genes and 28 were down-regulation genes. For miR-205 up-regulated SiHa cell, GO outcome showed that \"ubiquitin-protein ligase activity\", \"MAP kinase phosphatase activity\", were the most enriched terms (P < 0.05). And in KEGG analysis, \"Cell cycle\" was notably enriched, and Smad4 in this pathway was up-regulated (P < 0.05). Expression profile microarray technology can effectively screen out DEGs in cervical cancer cells after up-regulating miR-205 or down-regulating miR-141. Which may enable us to understand the pathogenesis and lay an important foundation for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

Ex vivo human tumor slices more accurately predict patient responses to an oncolytic virus than in vivo mouse models

Immunotherapies, including oncolytic viruses (OV), are promising therapies that can enhance anti-tumor immune responses. However, preclinical success of immunotherapies in mouse models has not always translated to clinical benefit in cancer patients. This study compared preclinical efficacy and mechanism of action for ASP9801, a vaccinia virus expressing IL-7 and IL-12, using mouse models of colorectal cancer (CRC) in vivo and in human organotypic tumor slice models ex vivo. The murine surrogate for ASP9801 significantly reduced tumor volumes in treated and abscopal tumors in two different CRC models in vivo (MC38 and RO100). Treatment efficacy was accentuated when combined with anti-PD1 treatment, and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed depletion of tumor cells and increased T cell infiltration and activation in both treated and abscopal tumors. However, human tissue analysis ex vivo (E-slices) using PDX models and patient samples showed that ASP9801 is not effective in CRC, consistent with clinical trial results. On the other hand, ASP9801 was highly effective in GBM, indicating indication-specific efficacy of ASP9801, and how E-slice assays can be used to identify treatment-sensitive indications. This study demonstrates the superiority of E-slices over mouse models for predicting clinical response and its utility in planning clinical trials.

Immune-cell depleted diffuse large B-cell lymphomas have reduced expression of MHC class I

Immunotherapy has transformed treatment for many cancers. In the aggressive and genetically heterogeneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is highly effective, whereas immune checkpoint blockade has shown limited benefit. Loss of MHC expression is a common mechanism to escape T-cell cytotoxicity, and loss of MHC class I (MHC-I) and II are frequent in DLBCL. We applied imaging mass cytometry to diagnostic biopsies from younger, high-risk DLBCL patients to map the tumor microenvironment (TME) spatial architecture in relation to tumor cell MHC expression, mutational status, transcriptomic and proteomic profiles. Neighborhood analyses identified four TME subtypes: immune-cell depleted and three immune-infiltrated types (mixed, CD4 T cell-rich, CD8 T-cell/macrophage-rich). Depleted cases had shorter overall survival (p = 0.033) and increased expression of proteins involved in DNA replication and proliferation markers compared to infiltrated cases. Tumor cell MHC-I expression was heterogeneous. Cases with low frequency of MHC-I-pos tumor cells were enriched for the depleted TME type. MHC-I-pos tumor cells were surrounded by CD4 and CD8 T cells and M1 macrophages, whereas MHC-I-neg tumor cells were closer to other MHC-I-neg tumor cells. These findings suggest that TME-based classification incorporating tumor cell MHC-I status may improve individualized immunotherapy selection.

Cross-species analysis links cell-cell communication rewiring to NOTCH2 during serous endometrial carcinogenesis

Cell-cell interactions shape the fate of mutant cells during cancer initiation but how these interactions evolve during progression to pathologically recognizable lesions remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated cell-cell communication during serous endometrial carcinoma (SEC; also known as uterine serous carcinoma) development using a lineage-traceable mouse model and cross-species analyses of the mouse and human neoplastic endometrium. In mice, the early, pre-dysplastic stage was marked by a global decrease in inferred cell-cell interactions, followed by extensive communication network rewiring during neoplastic progression. Pathway-specific analysis revealed a similar pattern for NOTCH signaling, with NOTCH2 emerging as the dominant NOTCH receptor in Trp53/Rb1-mutant immature epithelial cells. Functionally, NOTCH2 promoted the outgrowth of more proliferative mutant organoids. Cross-species transcriptomic analysis identified conserved immature epithelial states in mouse and human neoplastic endometrial epithelium. In human tissues, NOTCH2 was overexpressed in serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma, a precursor of SEC, and in overt SEC. Furthermore, elevated NOTCH2 expression was associated with poor patient survival. These findings link cell-cell communication rewiring during experimental SEC development to conserved neoplastic epithelial states and identify NOTCH2 as an early marker and a potential target of disease interception.
