Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Forkhead BoxO (FoxO) transcription factors expressed in adult skeletal muscle promote muscle atrophy during various catabolic conditions. We have identified the genome wide target genes and biological networks regulated by FoxO in skeletal muscle during Colon-26 (C-26) cancer cachexia.

Description
Background: Cancer cachexia is a life-threatening metabolic syndrome that causes significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and significantly increases mortality in cancer patients. Currently, there is an urgent need for better understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of this disease, so that effective therapies can be developed. Almost all pre-clinical studies evaluating skeletal muscle’s response to cancer have focused on one or two pre-clinical models, and almost all have focused specifically on limb muscles. In the current study, we reveal key differences in the histology and transcriptomic signatures of a limb muscle and a respiratory muscle in orthotopic pancreatic cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice. Methods: To create the four cohorts of PDX mice evaluated in this study, tumors resected from four pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients were portioned and attached to the pancreas of immunodeficient NSG mice. Results: Body weight, muscle mass, and fat mass were significantly decreased in each PDX line. Histological assessment of cryosections taken from the tibialis anterior (TA) and diaphragm (DIA) revealed differential effects of tumor-burden on their morphology. Subsequent genome-wide microarray analysis on TA and DIA revealed key differences between their transcriptomes in response to cancer as well. Indeed, upregulated genes in the diaphragm were enriched for extracellular matrix (ECM) protein-encoding genes and genes related to the inflammatory response, and downregulated genes were enriched for mitochondria related protein-encoding genes. Conversely, the TA showed upregulation of canonical atrophy-associated pathways such as ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation and apoptosis and enrichment of downregulated genes encoding ECM proteins. Conclusions: These data suggest that distinct biological processes account for wasting in different skeletal muscles in response to the same tumor burden. Further investigation into these differences will be critical for the future development of effective clinical strategies to counter cancer cachexia.

Description
Serum levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) are increased in the serum of people with pancreatic cancer and associated with the loss of body weight and low muscle mass. We have identified that systemic (intraperitoneal) injection of IL-8 into mice induces significant skeletal muscle atrophy. Transcriptional profiling of muscle harvested from these same mice identified the genes and biological processes associated with this IL-8 induced atrophy including gene clusters related to chromatin modification, muscle cell differentiation, and ubiquitin ligase complex.

Description
Dicer, which is required for the processing of both microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), is essential for oocyte maturation. Oocytes express both miRNAs and endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs). To determine whether the abnormalities in Dicer knockout oocytes during meiotic maturation are secondary to the loss of endo-siRNAs and/or miRNAs, we deleted Dgcr8, which encodes a RNA binding protein specifically required for miRNA processing. In striking contrast to Dicer, Dgcr8 deficient oocytes matured normally and, when fertilized with wild-type sperm, produced healthy appearing offspring, even though miRNA levels were reduced to similar levels as Dicer deficient oocytes. Furthermore, the deletion of both maternal and zygotic Dgcr8 alleles did not impair preimplantation development including the determination of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm. Most surprisingly, the mRNA profiles of wild-type and Dgcr8 null oocytes were essentially identical while Dicer null oocytes showed hundreds of misregulated transcripts. These findings show that miRNA function is globally suppressed during oocyte maturation and preimplantation development and that endo-siRNAs, rather than miRNAs, underlie the Dicer knockout phenotype in oocytes.
