View SamplesRNA microarray profiling of 45 tissue samples was carried out using the Affymetrix (U133) gene expression platform. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was employed to isolate cancer cells from the tumors of 18 serous ovarian cancer patients (Cepi). For 7 of these patients, a matched set of surrounding cancer stroma (CS) was also collected. For controls, surface ovarian epithelial cells (OSE) were isolated from the normal (non-cancerous) ovaries of 12 individuals including matched sets of samples of OSE and normal stroma (NS) from 8 of these patients. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the microarray data resulted in the expected separation between the OSE and Cepi samples. Consistent with models of stromal activation, we also observed significant separation between the NS and CS samples. Unexpectedly, the CS samples sub-divided into two distinct groups. Analysis of expression patterns of genes encoding signaling molecules and compatible receptors in the CS and Cepi samples are consistent with the hypothesis that the two CS sub-groups differ significantly in their relative propensities to support tumor growth.The results indicate the existence of distinct categories of ovarian cancer stroma and suggest that functionally significant variability exists among ovarian cancer patients in the ability of the microenvironment to modulate cancer development.
Molecular profiling predicts the existence of two functionally distinct classes of ovarian cancer stroma.

View SamplesWe report the application of RNA-Seq analysis to determine the transcriptional responses to Mn dose, ranging from physiological to toxicological levels in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. We find that Mn dose showed widespread effects in abundance of protein coding genes for metabolism of reactive oxygen species, energy sensing, glycolysis, protein homeostasis including the unfolded protein response and transcriptional regulation. Adaptive responses at physiological Mn concentration-10 µM Mn for 5 h, a concentration that did not result in cell death after 24 h increased abundance of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the protein secretion pathway that function in protein trafficking and cellular homeostasis.These include BET1 (Golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein), ADAM10 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 10) and ARFGAP3 (ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase activating protein 3). In contrast, 5 h exposure to 100 µM Mn, a concentration that caused cell death after 24 h, increased abundance of DEGs for components of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway. In conclusion, this study provides a framework for Mn dose dependent exposure in a human in vitro cell culture model and provides a testable hypothesis for in vivo studies. Importantly, the transcriptome responses at toxic Mn dose demonstrated patterns observed with neurological diseases and suggest that differential functions of the secretory pathway and mitochondria could provide a basis to improve detection and management of adverse environmental and occupational Mn exposures. Overall design: Examination of transcriptomic responses to Mn dose (0,1,5,10,50,100 µM MnCl2 for 5 h) in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells with three biological replicates per Mn treatment using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
