A small number of tumor-derived cell lines have formed the mainstay of cancer therapeutic development, yielding drugs with impact typically measured as months to disease progression. To develop more effective breast cancer therapeutics, and more readily understand their potential clinical impact, we constructed a functional metabolic portrait of 46 independently-derived breast tumorigenic cell lines, contrasted with purified normal breast epithelial subsets, freshly isolated pleural effusion breast tumor samples and culture-adapted, non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial cell derivatives. We report our analysis of glutamine uptake, dependence, and identification of a significant subset of triple negative samples that are glutamine auxotrophs. This NCBI GEO submission comprises a small datasest generated to compare the expression profiles of the above nontumorigenic, purified normal and purified pleural effusion samples with 10 established breast cancer-derived cell lines. This dataset was subsequently merged with a previously published expression dataset derived from 45 independent breast cancer derived cell lines (Neve, et al 2006), and analyses contrasting various subsets of the merged dataset were published.
Glutamine sensitivity analysis identifies the xCT antiporter as a common triple-negative breast tumor therapeutic target.

View SamplesExpression profiles obtained from the villus and crypt layers of murine large intestine can elucidate the process of differentiation undergone by epithelial cells as they migrate from the undifferentiated bottom of the crypt to the villus tip before being shed into the intestinal lumen. This series includes profiles from wild type mice, as well as mice harboring mutations in genes (APC and p21) which play key roles in the differentiation process.

View SamplesExpression levels of retinoic acid receptor gamma (NR1B3/RARG, encodes RARG), are commonly reduced in prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore we sought to establish the cellular and gene regulatory consequences of reduced RARG expression, and determine RARG regulatory mechanisms. RARG shRNA approaches in non-malignant (RWPE-1 and HPr1-AR) and malignant (LNCaP) prostate models revealed that reducing RARG levels, rather than adding exogenous retinoid ligand, had the greatest impact on prostate cell viability and gene expression. ChIP-Seq defined the RARG cistrome which was significantly enriched at active enhancers associated with AR binding sites. Reflecting a significant genomic role for RARG to regulate androgen signaling, RARG knockdown in HPr1-AR cells significantly regulated the magnitude of the AR transcriptome. RARG down-regulation was explained by increased miR-96 in PCa cell and mouse models, and TCGA PCa cohorts. Biochemical approaches confirmed that miR-96 directly regulated RARG expression and function. Capture of the miR-96 targetome by biotin-miR96 identified that RARG and a number of RARG interacting co-factors including TACC1 were all targeted by miR-96, and expression of these genes were prominently altered, positively and negatively, in the TCGA-PRAD cohort. Differential gene expression analyses between tumors in the TCGA-PRAD cohort with lower quartile expression levels of RARG and TACC1 and upper quartile miR-96, compared to the reverse, identified a gene network including several RARG target genes (e.g. SOX15) that significantly associated with worse disease free survival (hazard ratio 2.23, 95% CI 1.58 to 2.88, p=0.015). In summary, miR-96 targets a RARG network to govern AR signaling, PCa progression and disease outcome.

View SamplesTumors express a wide variety of both mutated and non-mutated antigens. Whether these tumor antigens are broadly recognized as self or foreign by the immune system is currently unclear. Using an autochthonous prostate cancer model in which hemagglutinin (HA) is specifically expressed in the tumor (ProHA x TRAMP mice), as well as an analogous model wherein HA is expressed in normal tissues as a model self-antigen (C3HAHigh), we examined the transcriptional profile of CD4 T cells undergoing antigen-specific division. Consistent with our previous data, transfer of antigen-specific CD4 T cells into C3HAHigh resulted in a functionally inactivated CD4 T cell profile. Conversely, adoptive transfer of an identical CD4 T cell population into ProHA x TRAMP resulted in the induction of a regulatory phenotype (Treg) both at the transcriptional and functional level. Interestingly, this Treg skewing was a property of even early-stage tumors, suggesting Treg induction as an important tolerance mechanism during tumor development.
