View SamplesLong recognized as an evolutionarily ancient cell type involved in tissue homeostasis and immune defense against pathogens, macrophages are being rediscovered as regulators of several diseases including cancer. Here we show that in mice, mammary tumor growth induces the accumulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that are phenotypically and functionally distinct from mammary tissue macrophages (MTMs). TAMs express the adhesion molecule Vcam1 and proliferate upon their differentiation from inflammatory monocytes, but do not exhibit an alternatively activated phenotype. TAM differentiation depends on the transcriptional regulator of Notch signaling, RBPJ; and TAM, but not MTM, depletion restores tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T cell responses and suppresses tumor growth. These findings reveal the ontogeny of TAMs and a discrete tumor-elicited inflammatory response, which may provide new opportunities for cancer immunotherapy.

View SamplesIdentification of critical survival determinants of PDGF-driven proneural glioma. Results provided information about the genes and pathways that are regulated by PDGF signaling in PDGF-driven proneural glioma and led to the assessment of the importance of the USP1-ID2 axis in proneural glioma.

View SamplesThrough development of an in vivo orthotopic lung cancer model, we reveal an unanticipated pathway driving spontaneous metastasis that is orchestrated by the developmentally-regulated transcriptional repressor, Capicua (CIC). Overall design: RNAseq and DNA copy number analysis of H1975 (EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma) cells in the context of drug resistance to rociletinib
Inactivation of Capicua drives cancer metastasis.

View SamplesPhosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-a inhibitors are clinically active in squamous carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck (H&N) bearing mutations or amplification of PIK3CA. We aimed to identify potential mechanism of resistance and have observed that SCCs cells overcome the antitumor effects of the PI3Ka inhibitor BYL719 by maintaining PI3K-independent activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The persistent mTOR activation is mediated by the tyrosine kinase receptor AXL. We found that AXL is overexpressed in resistant tumors, dimerizes with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphorylates EGFR tyrosine 1173, resulting in activation of phospholipase C? (PLC?)- protein kinase C (PKC) that, in turn, activates mTOR. Finally, simultaneous treatment with PI3Ka and either EGFR, AXL or PKC inhibitors reverts this resistance. Overall design: RNAseq from acquired resistant cells CAL33B, K180B were compared to their parental counterpart CAL33 and K180, respectively. K180 is a shortcut of KYSE180, and B stands for BYL719. Duplicate of parental sensitive cells and K180B, and triplicate for CAL33B.

View SamplesHuman cytomegalovirus induces a pro-inflammatory monocyte following infection and we have evidence that NF-B and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [PI(3)K] are key mediators in this early activation. To begin to address how these signalling pathways are responsible for the rapid activation of infected monocytes, we examined the role these pathways played in the transcriptome of infected monocytes. Global transcriptional profiling using cDNA microarrays revealed a significant number of genes, including inflammatory genes, were regulated in a NF-B- and/or PI(3)K-dependent manner, identifying these pathways as key cellular control points in the conversion of monocytes to an activated pro-inflammatory state following HCMV infection.
