Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
Alternative processing of pre-mRNA transcripts is a major source of protein diversity in eukaryotes and has been implicated in several disease processes including cancer. In this study we have performed a genome wide analysis of alternative splicing events with the GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Array from Affymetrix in lung adenocarcinoma. We found that ~13.3% of the 17800 core Refseq genes appear to have alternative transcripts that are differentially expressed in lung adenocarcinoma versus normal. According to their known functions the largest subset of these genes (30.8%) is believed to be cancer related. Detailed analysis was performed for several genes using PCR, quantitative RT-PCR and DNA sequencing. We found overexpression of ERG variant 2 but not variant 1 in lung tumors and overexpression of CEACAM1 variant 1 but not variant 2 in lung tumors but not in breast or colon tumors. We also identified a novel, overexpressed variant of CDH3 and verified the overexpression of a novel variant of P16. These findings demonstrate how analysis of alternative pre-mRNA processing can shed additional light on differences between tumors and normal tissues as well as between different tumor types. Such studies may lead to the development of additional tools for tumor diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.

Description
Regulatory T cells (T regs) maintain host self-tolerance but are a major barrier to effective cancer immunotherapy. T regs subvert beneficial anti-tumor immunity by modulating inhibitory receptor (IR) expression on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs); however, the underlying mediators and mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that interleukin-10 (IL10) and interleukin-35 (IL35; Ebi3/IL12a heterodimer) are divergently expressed by T reg subpopulations in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cooperatively promote intratumoral T cell exhaustion. T reg -restricted deletion of Il10 and/or Ebi3 resulted in delayed tumor growth, loss of multi-IR expression, and reduced intratumoral CD8 + T cell exhaustion signature. While Il10 or Ebi3 loss was associated with reduced expression of B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (BLIMP1; Prdm1), IL10 and IL35 differentially impacted effector versus memory T cell fates, respectively, highlighting their differential, partially overlapping but non-redundant regulation of anti-tumor immunity. Our results reveal previously unappreciated cooperative roles for IL10 and IL35, produced by limits effective anti-tumor immunity Overall design: TIL CD8 cells from Treg specific IL10, IL35 and double knockouts, sorted into populations based on exhaustion markers. TIL Tregs sorted based on IL10 and IL35 expression.

Description
Abstract: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain host self-tolerance but are a major barrier to effective cancer immunotherapy. Tregs subvert beneficial anti-tumor immunity by modulating inhibitory receptor (IR) expression on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs); however, the underlying mediators and mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that interleukin-10 (IL10) and interleukin-35 (IL35; a heterodimer of Ebi3 and IL12?) are reciprocally expressed by Treg-subpopulations in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cooperatively promote intratumoral T cell exhaustion. Treg-restricted deletion of either Il10/Ebi3 or dual deletion resulted in delayed tumor growth and significant reduction of transcriptomic exhaustion signature associated with reduced expression of B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (BLIMP1; Prdm1). While the two cytokines share the BLIMP1 axis to drive multi-IR expression; they differentially impact effector vs. memory fate, highlighting their overlapping and non-redundant regulation of anti-tumor immunity. Our results reveal previously unappreciated adaptive plasticity in inhibitory cytokine expression pattern by Tregs in TME for maximal immunosuppression. Data purpose: to understand the segregated cytokine expression pattern and the preferential generation of single cytokine positive Treg subpopulations, we performed single cell RNASeq (scRNAseq) contrasting Tregs isolated from naïve, unchallenged LNs or day 14 B16 tumor from Foxp3Cre-YFP WT mice Overall design: LNs or day 14 B16 tumor from Foxp3Cre-YFP WT mice

Description
Metastasis predictive gene signatures can result from either somatic mutation, inherited polyrmorphism or both. This experiment is designed to look at the gene expression differences due to differences in somatic mutations in the initiating oncogene, PyMT. Met1 is from a fully metastatic FVB mammary tumor cell line, DB7 contains a mutation that permits tumor formation, but suppresses metastatic ability.

Description
The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has risen 600% over the last 30 years. With an extremely poor five-year survival rate of only 15%, identification of new therapeutic targets for EAC is of great importance. Here, we analyze the mutation spectra from the whole exome sequencing of 149 EAC tumors/normal pairs, 15 of which have also been subjected to whole genome sequencing. We identify a novel mutational signature in EACs defined by a high prevalence of A to C transversions at Ap*A dinucleotides. Statistical analysis of the exome data identified 26 genes that are mutated at a significant frequency. Of these 26 genes, only four (TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4, and PIK3CA) have been previously implicated in EAC. The novel significantly mutated genes include several chromatin modifying factors and candidate contributors to EAC: SPG20, TLR4, ELMO1, and DOCK2. Notably, functional analyses of EAC-derived mutations in ELMO1 increase cellular invasion. Therefore, we suggest a new hypothesis about the potential activation of the RAC1 pathway to be a contributor to EAC tumorigenesis.
