Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.1 ST Array (mogene11st)
Description
The polarization of macrophages into an anti-inflammatory or regulatory phenotype plays an important role in resolving inflammation. PGE2 regulates macrophage polarization via a PKA dependent pathway. PKA phosphorylates SIKs, inhibiting their ability to phosphorylate CRTC3 in cells. This in turn allows CRTC3 to translocate to the nucleus where it acts as a co-activator with the transcription factor CREB to induce IL-10 transcription. In line with this we find that either genetic or pharmacological inhibition of SIKs mimics the effect of PGE2 on IL-10 production.

Description
The present work aimed to identify reference genes for RT-qPCR studies of hypoxia in cervical cancer. From 422 candidate reference genes selected from the literature, we used Illumina array-based expression profiles to identify 182 genes not affected by hypoxia treatment in eight cervical cancer cell lines or correlated with the hypoxia-associated dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging parameter ABrix in 42 patients. Among these genes, we selected nine candidates (CHCHD1, GNB2L1, IPO8, LASP1, RPL27A, RPS12, SOD1, SRSF9, TMBIM6) that were not associated with tumor volume, stage, lymph node involvement or disease progression in array data of 150 patients, for further testing by RT-qPCR. geNorm and NormFinder analyses of RT-qPCR data of 74 patients identified CHCHD1, SRSF9 and TMBIM6 as the most suitable set of reference genes, with stable expression both overall and across patient subgroups with different hypoxia status (ABrix) and clinical parameters. The suitability of the three candidates as reference genes were validated in studies of the hypoxia-induced genes DDIT3, ERO1A, and STC2. After normalizing with CHCHD1, SRSF9 and TMBIM6, the RT-qPCR data of these genes showed a significant correlation with Illumina expression (P<0.001, n=74) and ABrix (P<0.05, n=32), and the STC2 data were associated with clinical outcome, in accordance with the Illumina data. Thus, CHCHD1, SRSF9 and TMBIM6 seem to be suitable reference genes for studying hypoxia-related gene expression in cervical cancer samples by RT-qPCR. STC2 might be a useful prognostic hypoxia biomarker in cervical cancer that warrants further investigation.

Description
Emerging biomarkers based on medical images and molecular characterization of tumor biopsies open up for combining the two disciplines and exploiting their synergy in treatment planning. We compared pretreatment classification of cervical cancer patients by two previously validated imaging- and gene-based hypoxia biomarkers, evaluated the influence of intratumor heterogeneity, and investigated the benefit of combining them in prediction of treatment failure. The imaging-based biomarker was hypoxic fraction, determined from diagnostic dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MR images. The gene-based biomarker was a hypoxia gene expression signature determined from tumor biopsies. Paired data were available for 118 patients. Intratumor heterogeneity was assessed by variance analysis of MR images and multiple biopsies from the same tumor. The two biomarkers were combined using a dimension-reduction procedure. The biomarkers classified 75% of the tumors with the same hypoxia status. Both intratumor heterogeneity and distribution pattern of hypoxia from imaging were unrelated to inconsistent classification by the two biomarkers, and the hypoxia status of the slice covering the biopsy region was representative of the whole tumor. Hypoxia by genes was independent on tumor cell fraction and showed minor heterogeneity across multiple biopsies in 9 tumors. This suggested that the two biomarkers could contain complementary biological information. Combination of the biomarkers into a composite score led to improved prediction of treatment failure (HR:7.3) compared to imaging (HR:3.8) and genes (HR:3.0) and prognostic impact in multivariate analysis with clinical variables. In conclusion, combining imaging- and gene-based biomarkers enables more precise and informative assessment of hypoxia-related treatment resistance in cervical cancer, independent of intratumor heterogeneity.

Description
We have previously identified a prognostic 31-gene expression signature in locally advanced cervical cancer that is associated with tumor hypoxia and reflected by the dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) image parameter ABrix. To bring the signature closer to clinical use, we here aimed to construct a classifier with key signature genes that retained an association to ABrix and separated the patients into groups with different hypoxia status and chemoradiotherapy outcome.
