Description
We report a 29-gene diagnostic signature, which distinguishes individuals with NSCLC from controls with non-malignant lung disease with 91% Sensitivity, 79% Specificity and a ROC AUC of 92%. Accuracy on an independent set of 18 NSCLC samples from the same location was 79%. Samples from an independent location including 12 stage 1 NSCLC and 15 controls, achieved an accuracy of 74%. A study of 18 paired samples taken pre and post surgery shows that the PBMC associated cancer signature is significantly reduced after tumor removal, supporting the hypothesis that the signature detected in pre-surgery samples is a response to the presence of the tumor.

Description
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease for which prognosis and treatment strategies are largely governed by the receptor status (estrogen, progesterone and Her2-neu) of the tumor cells. Gene expression profiling of whole breast tumors further stratifies breast cancer into several molecular subtypes which also co-segregate with the receptor status of the tumor cells. We postulated that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor stroma may exhibit subtype specific gene expression profiles and thus contribute to the biology of the disease in a subtype specific manner. Several studies have reported gene expression profile differences between CAFs and normal breast fibroblasts but in none of these studies were the results stratified based on tumor subtypes. To address whether gene expression in breast cancer associated fibroblasts varies between breast cancer subtypes, we compared the gene expression profiles of early passage primary CAFs isolated from twenty human breast cancer samples representing three main subtypes; seven ER+, seven triple negative (TNBC) and six Her2+. We observed significant expression differences between CAFs derived from Her2+ breast cancer and CAFs from TNBC and ER+ cancers, particularly in pathways associated with cytoskeleton and integrin signaling. In the case of Her2+ breast cancer, the signaling pathways found to be selectively up regulated in CAFs may contribute to the more invasive properties and unfavorable prognosis of Her2+ breast cancer. These data demonstrate that in addition to the distinct molecular profiles that characterize the neoplastic cells, CAF gene expression is also differentially regulated in distinct subtypes of breast cancer.

Description
The role of myeloid cells in supporting cancer growth is well established. Most work has focused on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) that accumulate in tumor-bearing animals, but tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) are also known to be capable of augmenting tumor growth. However, little is known about their evolution, phenotype, and relationship to naive neutrophils (NN) and to the granulocytic fraction of MDSC (G-MDSC). In the current study, a transcriptomics approach was used in mice to compare these cell types. Our data show that the three populations of neutrophils are significantly different in their mRNA profiles with NN and G-MDSC being more closely related to each other than to TAN. Structural genes and genes related to cell-cytotoxicity (i.e. respiratory burst) were significantly down-regulated in TAN. In contrast, many immune-related genes and pathways, including genes related to the antigen presenting complex (e.g. all six MHC-II complex genes), and cytokines (e.g. TNF-a, IL-1-a/b), were up-regulated in G-MDSC, and further up-regulated in TAN. Thirteen of the 25 chemokines tested were markedly up-regulated in TAN compared to NN, including striking up-regulation of chemoattractants for T/B-cells, neutrophils and macrophages. This study characterizes different populations of neutrophils related to cancer, pointing out the major differences between TAN and the other neutrophil populations.

Description
Identifying the functions of proteins, which define specific subnuclear structures and territories, is important for understanding eukaryotic nuclear dynamics. Sp100 is a prototypical protein of ND10/PML bodies and co-localizes with the proto-oncogenic protein PML and Daxx, proteins with critical roles in oncogenic transformation, interferon-mediated viral resistance and response to PML-directed cancer therapeutics. Sp100 isoforms contain PHD, Bromo and HMG domains and are highly sumoylated at ND10/PML bodies, all characteristics suggestive of a role in chromatin mediated gene regulation. However, no clear role for the Sp100 component of PML bodies in oncogenesis has been defined. Using isoform-specific knockdown techniques, we show that most human diploid fibroblasts, which lack Sp100, rapidly senesce and discuss gene expression changes associated with this rapid senescence.

Description
Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) is a transcription factor implicated in neural crest specification. Ectopic expression of MSX1 reprograms mature melanocytes into a neural crest-like state as a single factor. MSX1-reprogrammed melanocytes lose pigmentation and become multipotent. To identify immediate targets of MSX1, we generated a tetracycline-inducible system (Tet-ON) in order to express MSX1 in primary melanocytes (iMSX1) in a clean and rapid way starting at defined time points and perform a global gene expression analysis.

Description
Mitochondria control bioenergetics and cell fate decisions, but whether they also participate in extra-organelle signaling is not understood. Here, we show that interference with cyclophilin D (CypD), a mitochondrial matrix protein and apoptosis regulator, causes accelerated cell proliferation and enhanced cell migration and invasion. These responses are associated with global transcriptional changes in CypD-/- cells, predominantly affecting chemokines and their receptors, and resulting in increased activating phosphorylation of Signal Transduction and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3). In turn, STAT3 signaling promotes increased proliferation of CypD-/- cells via accelerated S-phase entry and supports Cxcl12-directed paracrine cell motility. Therefore, mitochondria-to-nuclei transcriptional signaling globally affects cell division and motility. As immunosuppressive therapies often target CypD, this pathway may predispose the tissue microenvironment of these patients to oncogenic transformation.

Description
LPAR1 (lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1) is identified in targeted siRNA screens which is required for the survival and maintenance of nueral crest stem cells (NCSC) as well as the growth and invasion of melanoma cells. To gain mechanistic insights into how LPAR signaling modulates melanoma cell growth, We conducted an Illumina genome-wide gene expression microarray experiment to profile melanoma cells treated with the autotaxin inhibitor, HA130. Melanoma cells treated with vehicle control,DMSO is included as a control.
