Description
AIRmax and AIRmin mouse lines show a differential lung inflammatory response and differential lung tumor susceptibility after urethane treatment, thus constituting a good genetic model to investigate differences in gene expression profiles related to inflammatory response and lung tumor susceptibility. The transcript profile of ~24,000 known genes was analyzed in normal lung tissue of untreated and urethane-treated AIRmax and AIRmin mice. In lungs of untreated mice, inflammation associated genes involved in pathways such as leukocyte transendothelial migration, cell adhesion and tight junctions were differentially expressed in AIRmax versus AIRmin mice. Moreover, gene expression levels differed significantly in urethane-treated mice even at 21 days after treatment. In AIRmin mice, modulation of expression of genes involved in pathways associated with inflammatory response paralleled the previously observed persistent infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung of these mice. In conclusion, a specific gene expression profile in normal lung tissue is associated with mouse line susceptibility or resistance to lung tumorigenesis and with different inflammatory response, and urethane treatment causes a long-lasting alteration of the lung gene expression profile that correlates with persistent inflammatory response of AIRmin mice.

Description
CCAR2 is a nuclear protein recently emerged as a pivotal player of the DNA damage response since it has been found involved in both apoptosis induction and DNA repair. Differently, its role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression is still elusive. In our studies we found that CCAR2 depletion impairs the proliferation of human cancer cell lines, but leaves unaffected the growth of normal immortalized cells. To better investigate this point we performed a genome wide gene expression analyses in U2OS and BJ-hTERT depleted of CCAR2 and we found that loss of this protein causes the deregulation of genes implicated in the AKT pathway specifically in U2OS cells, but not in BJ-hTERT. In accordance with these results we found a reduction in AKT activation in all the tested cancer cell lines depleted of CCAR2, but not in the normal ones. The defective activation of AKT is caused by the upregulation of TRB3 gene in cancer cells depleted of CCAR2 and finally results in the reduction of GSK3 phosphorylation, prevention of G1/S transition and inhibition of cancer cell growth.

Description
Resistance to platinum compounds represents a major obstacle to the cure of ovarian carcinoma. The molecular profiling of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cells may be helpful to clarify if altered gene expression can contribute to the drug-resistant phenotype. The expression pattern of three ovarian carcinoma cell lines was examined. The analysis revealed the modulation of several genes in the two platinum-resistant cell lines as compared to parental platinum-sensitive cells. The integration of the information obtained through gene expression analysis may be useful to clarify the specific molecular alterations of factors and pathway favouring survival of tumor cells.

Description
Inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins constitute a conserved family of molecules which regulate both apoptosis and receptor signaling. They are often deregulated in cancer cells and represent potential targets for therapy. In our work, we investigated the effect of IAP inhibition in vivo to identify novel downstream genes expressed in an IAP-dependent manner that could contribute to cancer aggressiveness. To this end, immunocompromised mice engrafted subcutaneously with the triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB231 cell line were treated with SM83, a pan-IAP inhibitor developed by us, and tumor nodules were profiled for gene expression. Our work suggests that IAP-targeted therapy could contribute to EGFR inhibition and the reduction of its downstream mediators. This approach could be particularly effective in cells characterized by high levels of EGFR and Snai2, such as triple negative breast cancer.
