View SamplesBreast cancer is a heterogeneous disease described in well-recognized biological subtypes. Particularly, gene expression profiling has revealed 5 intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer characterized by different biological and clinical features. The diversity of the intrinsic subtypes across human population has been limited described, and there is few information about the genomic architecture of breast tumors in Mexican or Hispanic populations. In this study, we performed PAM50 assay, based in Affymetrix microarray profiling of 128 fresh frozen tumors from Mexican Latino Hispanic population, to describe the overall distribution of subtypes, and characterize the relation to clinicopathologic characteristics. As well, we correlated the mRNA expression patterns with specific copy number alterations (CPA), in order to analyze their role in breast tumors. A total of 100 blood-tumor samples were assayed using Affymetrix 6.0 SNP arrays; segmentation analysis and GISTIC were performed to identify focal amplifications or deletions. The distribution of PAM50 intrinsic subtypes in our cohort was computed to be 44% luminal A, 20% luminal B, 12.0% HER2-enriched, 12% basal-like, and 12% normal-like. Study comparison with the literature mainly TCGA and METABRIC (most of the patients came from Caucasian population), as well as LACE (which describe a population study) show a similar distribution of the intrinsic subtypes within Hispanic and Caucasian populations. Interestingly, basal-like subtype is less represented than in African-American race. The sum of sensitivity and specificity between the clinicopathologic and intrinsic subtype categories across 4 groups (excluding normal-like) was 50% and 87.5%, respectively. Differentially expression profiles within the subtypes reveal a set of genes altered in each group with biological relevance to stablish the phenotypical characteristics of each subtype. Our analyses confirmed the already reported copy number data. Importantly, many of the copy number profiles correlated with mRNA subtype. With this analysis we can conclude that breast cancer intrinsic subtypes have been reproduced in Mexican population contributing to the description of the PAM50 subtypes among multiple ethnic groups based on a gene expression assay. Our observation based in the integrative genomic analysis of mRNA expression and CPA allowed us to define gene circuits and phenotypic characteristics that can explain the heterogeneity of breast cancer subtypes.

View SamplesTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a challenging tumor type due to their poor prognosis and limited treatment options. It is well recognize that clinical and molecular heterogeneity of TNBC is driven in part by mRNA and lncRNAs. To stratify TNBCs, we profiled mRNAs and lncRNA in 158 adjuvant TNBC tumors using an Affymetrix microarray platform. Lehmann clustering analysis allowed us to identify TNBC subtypes featuring unique lncRNA expression patterns, disease free and overall survival rates and particular gene ontology enrichments (performed with GSEA algorithm).
Loss of function of miR-342-3p results in MCT1 over-expression and contributes to oncogenic metabolic reprogramming in triple negative breast cancer.

View SamplesWe analyzed the effects of the expression of HPV 16 E6 oncoprotein variants (AA-a, AA-c, E-A176/G350, E-C188/G350, E-G350), and the E- Prototype in global gene expression profiles in an in vitro model. E6 gene was cloned into an expression vector fused to GFP and was transfected in C33-A cells. Affymetrix GeneChip Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 platform was used to analyze the expression of over 245,000 coding transcripts. We found that HPV16 E6 variants altered the expression of 431 genes in comparison with EPrototype. The altered genes are involved in cellular processes related to the development of cervical carcinoma, such as adhesion, angiogenesis, apoptosis, differentiation, cell cycle, proliferation, transcription and protein translation. Our results show that polymorphic changes in HPV16 E6 natural variants are sufficient to alter the overall gene expression profile in C33-A cells, explaining in part the observed differences in oncogenic potential of HPV16 variants.

Cell line
View SamplesThe HPV16-E7 oncoprotein and 17-estradiol are import factors for the induction of premalignant lesions and cervical cancer. The study of these factors is crucial for a better understanding of cervical tumorigenesis. In this study, we performed a microarray analysis to obtain a global gene expression profile induced by both, HPV16-E7 and 17-estradiol in cervical tissue of K14E7 transgenic mice. We found that 17-estradiol is the main cause of the up-regulation of a large number of cellular genes involved in the immune response whereas E7 oncoprotein mainly affects the cellular metabolism. Our microarray data also shows some novel differentially expressed genes that were not previously reported in cervical cancer. The identification of these genes, regulated by E7 and 17-estradiol, provides the basis for further studies on their role in cervical carcinogenesis.

Treatment
View SamplesHPV16 E7 oncoprotein expression in K14E7 transgenic mice induces cervical cancer after 6 months of treatment with the co-carcinogen 17-estradiol. In untreated mice, E7 also induces skin tumors late in life, albeit at low penetrance. These findings indicate that E7 alters cellular functions in cervix and skin so as to predispose these organs to tumorigenesis. Using microarrays, we determined the global genes expression profile in cervical and skin tissue of young adult K14E7 transgenic mice without estrogen treatment. In these tissues, the E7 oncoprotein altered the transcriptional pattern of genes involved in several biological processes, including immune response, intracellular signaling cascades, cell adhesion, cell migration, development, cell cycle, growth, response to wounding and regulation of apoptosis. Among the E7-dysregulated genes were ones not previously known to be involved in cervical neoplasia, including DMBT1, GLI1 and 17HSD2 in cervix and MMP2, 12, 14, 19 and 27 in skin.

View SamplesThe K14E6 transgenic mice develop skin hyperplasia, benign tumors, and cancer in the dorsal skin spontaneously. The E6 oncoprotein own its tumorigenic potential to a region located near the C-Terminal domain, better known as the PDZ ligand-domain. The aim of this work was to describe early cellular processes affected by the E6s PDZ ligand-domain when is expressed in the skin of transgenic mice using microarray technology.

View SamplesInfection with pandemic A/H1N1 influenza virus induces high levels of circulating and lung pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in experimental models and humans. These inflammatory mediators contribute to poor clinical outcomes of this infection. To compare the regulation of inflammatory responses in seasonal versus pandemic influenza A virus infections, we analyzed the expression of mRNA by the human gene st 1.0 array (affymetrix). We identifed a number of differentially expressed genes by infection of the A/H1N1 compared to the seasonal virus. Gene ontology analysis of these genes found that most of them are involved in several aspects of immunity. These studies suggest that factors inherent in the pandemic A/H1N1 viral strain may augment the production of inflammatory mediators by inhibiting SOCS- 1 expression and that infection with this viral strain also modifies the expression of several immunity related genes and pathways .
