This experiment was designed to study if there are differences in gene expression in the adipose tissue of women affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to non-hyperandrogenic women. PCOS is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, and is characterized by hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation. This disease is frequently associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and defects in insulin secretion, predisposing these women to type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease.

View SamplesThe goal of the study was to evaluate the influence of mutations in MLK4 on the protein function and the process of tumorigenesis in colorectal cancers. Biochemical data imply that a majority of MLK4 mutations in colon cancer are loss-of-function, including, E314K and Y330H mutations.

View SamplesThe TP53 transcription factor is frequently mutated at later stages of epithelial cancers, indicating a possible role in their invasion and metastasis. Importantly, in most cases rather than a simple loss of function p53 mutation, point mutations of p53 accumulate at the protein level and may have dominant negative functions. This study analyses gene expression differences between mice harbouring p53 mutation who do and do not develop metastasis.
Targeting the LOX/hypoxia axis reverses many of the features that make pancreatic cancer deadly: inhibition of LOX abrogates metastasis and enhances drug efficacy.

View SamplesAlcoholic hepatitis (AH) is the most severe form of alcoholic liver disease and occurs in patients with excessive alcohol intake It is characterized by marked hepatocellular damage, steatosis and pericellular fibrosis. Patients with severe AH have a poor short-term prognosis. Unfortunately, current therapies (i.e. corticosteroids and pentoxyphylline) are not effective in many patients and novel targeted therapies are urgently needed. The development of such therapies is hampered by a poor knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Based on studies from animal models, TNF alfa was proposed to play a pivotal role in the mechanisms of AH. Consequently, drugs interfering TNF alfa were tested in these patients. The results were disappointing due to an increased incidence of severe infections. Unluckily, there are not experimental models that mimic the main findings of AH in humans. To overcome this limitation, translational studies with human samples are required. We previously analyzed samples from patients with biopsy-proven AH. In these previous studies, we identified CXC chemokines as a potential therapeutic target for these patients. We expanded these previous observations by performing a high-throughout transcriptome analysis.
Transcriptome analysis identifies TNF superfamily receptors as potential therapeutic targets in alcoholic hepatitis.

View SamplesLarge-scale genomic studies have identified multiple somatic aberrations in breast cancer, including copy number alterations, translocations, and point mutations. Still, identifying causal variants and emergent vulnerabilities that arise as a consequence of genetic alterations remain major challenges. We performed whole genome shRNA “dropout screens” on 77 breast cancer cell lines. Using a new hierarchical linear regression algorithm to score our screen results and integrate them with accompanying detailed genetic and proteomic information, we identify novel vulnerabilities in breast cancer, including new candidate “drivers,” and reveal general functional genomic properties of cancer cells. Comparisons of gene essentiality with drug sensitivity data suggest potential resistance mechanisms, novel effects of existing anti-cancer drugs, and new opportunities for combination therapy. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of this large dataset by identifying BRD4 as a potential target in luminal breast cancer, and PIK3CA mutations as a resistance determinant for BET-inhibitors. Additional formatted data can be found at http://neellab.github.io/bfg/. Code and tutorials for the siMEM algorithm can be found at http://neellab.github.io/simem/.

View SamplesThis work was conducted to identify shared and specific target genes of different ETS transcription factor rearrangements in prostate cancer. Potential target genes were identified by differential gene expression analysis of primary tumor samples with ETS rearrangements, and validated by ETS silencing in prostate cancer cell lines.
