Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
Mouse lung cancers were generated using the KrasLA model, in which a latent mutated Kras2 allele (resulting in the amino acid substitution G12D) is sporadically activated through spontaneous homologous recombination. These mice develop lung adenomas with full penetrance; over time, the tumors acquire morphologic characteristics reminiscent of those of human adenocarcinoma, such as nuclear atypia and a high mitotic index.

Description
Studies of the Xenopus organizer have laid the foundation for our understanding of the conserved signaling pathways that pattern vertebrate embryos during gastrulation. Here, we use this wealth of knowledge as leverage in the design and analysis of a genomic visualization of organizer-related gene transcription. Using ectopic expression of the two major activities of the organizer, BMP and Wnt inhibition, as well as endogenous tissues, we generate a focused set of samples that represent different aspects of organizer signaling. The genomic expression values of each sample are then measured with oligonucleotide arrays. From this data, genes regulated by organizer signaling are selected and then clustered by their patterns of regulation. A new GO biological process annotation of the Xenopus genome allows us to rapidly identify clusters that are highly enriched for known gastrula patterning genes. Within these clusters, we can predict the expression patterns of unknown genes with remarkable accuracy, leading to the discovery of new organizer-related gastrula stage expression patterns for 19 genes. Moreover, the patterns of gene response observed within these clusters allow us to parse apart the contributions of BMP and Wnt inhibition in organizer function. We find that the majority of gastrula patterning genes respond transcriptionally to these activities according to only a few stereotyped patterns, allowing us to describe suites of genes that are likely to share similar regulatory mechanisms. These suites of genes demonstrate a mechanism where BMP inhibition initiates the organizer program before gastrulation, and Wnt inhibition maintains and drives the organizer program during gastrulation.

Description
The retinoblastoma cell cycle regulator pRb and the two related proteins p107 and p130 are thought to suppress cancer development both by inhibiting the G1/S transition of the cell cycle in response to growth-arrest signals and by promoting cellular differentiation. Here, we investigated the phenotype of Rb family triple knock-out (TKO) embryonic stem cells as they differentiate in vivo and in culture. Confirming the central role of the Rb gene family in cell cycle progression, TKO mouse embryos did not survive past mid-gestation and differentiating TKO cells displayed increased proliferation and cell death. However, patterning and cell fate determination were largely unaffected in these TKO embryos. Furthermore, a number of TKO cells, including in the neural lineage, were able to exit the cell cycle in G1 and terminally differentiate. This ability of Rb family TKO cells to undergo cell cycle arrest was associated with the repression of target genes for the E2F6 transcription factor, uncovering a pRb-independent control of the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. These results show that the Rb gene family is required for proper embryonic development but is not absolutely essential to induce G1 arrest and differentiation in certain lineages.
Publication Title
G1 arrest and differentiation can occur independently of Rb family function.

Description
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been reported to support tumor progression by a variety of mechanisms. However, their role in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poorly defined. In addition, the extent to which specific proteins secreted by CAFs contribute directly to tumor growth is unclear. To study the role of CAFs in NSCLC, a cross-species functional characterization of mouse and human lung CAFs was performed, including gene expression analysis comparing normal mouse lung fibroblasts (NFs) and mouse lung CAFs to seek for differentially-expressed secreted proteins.

Cross-species functional analysis of cancer-associated fibroblasts identifies a critical role for CLCF1 and IL-6 in non-small cell lung cancer in vivo.

Description
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), despite efficacy as anti-cancer therapies, are associated with cardiovascular side effects ranging from induced arrhythmias to heart failure. We have utilized patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), generated from 11 healthy individuals and 2 patients receiving cancer treatment, to screen FDA-approved TKIs for cardiotoxicities by measuring alterations in cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, electrophysiology, calcium handling, and signaling. With these data, we generated a cardiac safety index to assess cardiotoxicities of existing TKIs. Many TKIs with a low cardiac safety index exhibit cardiotoxicity in patients. We also derived endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs) and cardiac fibroblasts (hiPSC-CFs) to examine cell type-specific cardiotoxicities. Using high-throughput screening, we determined that VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs caused cardiotoxicity in hiPSC-CMs, hiPSC-ECs, and hiPSC-CFs. Using phosphoprotein analysis, we determined that VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs led to a compensatory increase in cardioprotective insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling in hiPSC-CMs. Activating cardioprotective signaling with exogenous insulin or IGF1 improved hiPSC-CM viability during co-treatment with cardiotoxic VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs. Thus, hiPSC-CMs can be used to screen for cardiovascular toxicities associated with anti-cancer TKIs, correlating with clinical phenotypes. This approach provides unexpected insights, as illustrated by our finding that toxicity can be alleviated via cardioprotective insulin/IGF signaling.

Description
PTK7 was identified from a meta-analysis of 1905 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples across 12 datasets to be one of seven genes commonly up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). Using ADC cell lines NCI-H1299 and NCI-H2009, disruption of PTK7 resulted in decreased cell viability and induction of apoptosis. A xenotransplantation model of the cell lines with PTK7 knock-down also resulted in decreased tumor burden. We assayed gene expression in these cell lines after PTK7 knock-down by shRNA to uncover deregulated pathways and genes.

A meta-analysis of lung cancer gene expression identifies PTK7 as a survival gene in lung adenocarcinoma.
