Description
Anti-angiogenic therapy is commonly used for the treatment of CRC. Although patients derive some clinical benefit, treatment resistance inevitably occurs. The MET signaling pathway has been proposed to be a major contributor of resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy. MET is upregulated in response to VEGF pathway inhibition and plays an essential role in tumorigenesis and progression of tumors. In this study we set out to determine the efficacy of cabozantinib in a preclinical CRC PDTX model. We demonstrate potent inhibitory effects on tumor growth in 80% of tumors treated. The greatest antitumor effects were observed in tumors that possess a mutation in the PIK3CA gene. The underlying antitumor mechanisms of cabozantinib consisted of inhibition of angiogenesis and Akt activation and significantly decreased expression of genes involved in the PI3K pathway. These findings support further evaluation of cabozantinib in patients with CRC. PIK3CA mutation as a predictive biomarker of sensitivity is intriguing and warrants further elucidation. A clinical trial of cabozantinib in refractory metastatic CRC is being activated. Overall design: CRC PDTX Model treated with cabozantinib

Description
Purpose: Black/African American (AA) women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) compared to whites, an aggressive breast cancer subtype associated with poor prognosis. There are no routinely used targeted clinical therapies for TNBC; thus there is a clear need to identify prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets. Methods: We evaluated expression of 27,016 genes in 155 treatment-naïve TN tumors from AA women in Detroit. Associations with survival were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for stage and age at diagnosis, and p-values were corrected using a false discovery rate. Our validation sample consisted of 158 TN tumors (54 AA) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Meta-analyses were performed to obtain summary estimates by combining TCGA and Detroit AA cohort results. Results: In the Detroit AA cohort, CLCA2 [Hazard ratio (HR)=1.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31-1.86, nominal p=5.1x10-7, FDR p=0.014], SPIC [HR=1.47, 95%CI 1.26-1.73, nominal p=1.8x10-6, FDR p=0.022], and MIR4311 [HR=1.57, 95% CI 1.31-1.92, nominal p=2.5x10-5, FDR p=0.022] expression were associated with overall survival. Further adjustment for treatment and breast cancer specific survival analysis did not substantially alter effect estimates. Meta-analysis with TCGA data showed that CLCA2 and SPIC were associated with overall survival for TNBC among AA women. Conclusions: We identified three potential prognostic markers for TNBC in AA women, for which SPIC may be an AA-specific prognostic marker.

CD138+ B220- plasma cells were sorted from bone marrow and B220+ CD23+ mature follicular B cells were sorted from the spleens. Plasma cells were sorted from C57BL/6 mice 7 days after boosting with antigen, with mice first primed with an i.p. injection of KLH/IFA followed by boost at day 21 with KLH/PBS i.p. Mature B cells were sorted from antigen-nave C57BL/6 mice.

Description
Estrogen receptor a (ERa) is an important biomarker of breast cancer severity and a common therapeutic target. Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to its role in promoting proliferation, ERa also protects tumors against metastatic transformation. Current therapeutics antagonize ERa and interfere with both beneficial and detrimental signaling pathways stimulated by ERa. The goal of this study is to uncover the dynamics of coding and non-coding RNA (microRNA) expression in response to estrogen stimulation and identify potential therapeutic targets that more specifically inhibit ERa-stimulated growth and survival pathways without interfering with its protective features. To achieve this, we exposed MCF7 cells (an estrogen receptor positive model cell line for breast cancer) to estrogen and prepared a time course of paired mRNA and miRNA sequencing libraries at ten time points throughout the first 24 hours of the response to estrogen. From these data, we identified three primary expression trends—transient, induced, and repressed—that were each enriched for genes with distinct cellular functions. Integrative analysis of paired mRNA and microRNA temporal expression profiles identified miR-503 as the strongest candidate master regulator of the estrogen response, in part through suppression of ZNF217—an oncogene that is frequently amplified in cancer. We confirmed experimentally that miR-503 directly targets ZNF217 and that over-expression of miR-503 suppresses breast cancer cell proliferation. Overall, these data indicate that miR-503 acts as a potent estrogen-induced tumor suppressor microRNA that opposes cellular proliferation and has promise as a therapeutic for breast cancer. More generally, our work provides a systems-level framework for identifying functional interactions that shape the temporal dynamics of gene expression. Overall design: Quantification of mRNAs in MCF7 cells responding to estrogen following a period of estrogen starvation. Three independent biological replicates (30 samples: 3 replicates x 10 time points) of MCF7 cells were exposed to 10nM Estradiol for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 , or 24 hours, and total RNA was extracted from the samples. Total RNA was used to generate paired RNA and miRNA sequencing. RNA libraries were prepared using an Illumina TruSeq stranded mRNA library preparation kit.

Global gene experssion study of the HAEC transcriptional response to artificial chlyomicron remnant-like particles (A-CRLPs) prepared with triglycerides extracted from four natural dietary oils: fish, DHASCO, corn and palm oils. We hypothesised that A-CRLPs could differentially regulate HAEC gene expression according to thier triglyceride content. These data provide an important starting point for investigations into the effects of A-CRLPs on endothelial cells, particulary genes involved in redox balance and inflammatory processes.
