    Abstract: Large intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNA) have been less studied than miRNAs in cancer, although both offer considerable theranostic potential. In this study, we identified frequent upregulation of miR-196a and lincRNA HOTAIR in high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Overexpression of miR-196a was associated with high-risk grade, metastasis and poor survival among GIST specimens. miR-196a genes are located within the HOX gene clusters and microarray expression analysis revealed that the HOXC and HOTAIR gene were also coordinately upregulated in GISTs which overexpress miR-196a. In like manner, overexpression of HOTAIR was also strongly associated with high-risk grade and metastasis among GIST specimens. RNA interference–mediated knockdown of HOTAIR altered the expression of reported HOTAIR target genes and suppressed GIST cell invasiveness. These findings reveal concurrent overexpression of HOX genes with noncoding RNAs in human cancer in this setting, revealing miR-196a and HOTAIR as potentially useful biomarkers and therapeutic targets in malignant GISTs.

    Abstract: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I receptor (IGF-IR) signaling is required for tumorigenicity and cancer development of many malignancies, however this pathway has not been well studied in human esophageal carcinomas. Esophageal cancer is one of worst prognostic disease, main types of which are squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) and adenocarcinoma (EAC). Previously we have reported that the IGF axis may play a key role in tumor progression of ESCC and its detection may be useful for the prediction of recurrence and poor prognosis and possibly for selecting patients for targeting therapy for IGF-IR. We have previously shown successful therapy for several gastrointestinal cancers using recombinant adenoviruses expressing dominant negative forms of IGF-IR (Ad-IGF-IR/dn). In this study, we wanted to develop potential targeted therapeutics to IGF-1R; therefore, we assessed the effect of IGF-IR blockade in both types of esophageal cancer. We analyzed immunohistochemical expression of IGF-IR in a tissue array. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor, BMS-536924, and Ad-IGF-IR/dn were used to treat several ESCC lines, such as TE1, TE8, TT, TTn, and EAC lines, including OE19 and OE33. We assessed the effect of both IGF-IR blockade on signal transduction, growth, and apoptosis. IGF-IR is expressed frequently in esophageal tumors, but not in normal mucosa. IGF-IR was produced in ESCC more than EAC, and is detected in metastasized similar to the primary site. IGF-IR inhibition suppressed proliferation and colony formation in both types of cancer. Blockade of IGF-IR up-regulated both stress- and chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in both esophageal tumor type. Although IGF-IR/dn blocked ligand-induced activation of Akt-1 mainly, BMS-536924 effectively blocked both activation of Akt and MAPK. Thus, the IGF axis may play a key role in tumor progression of human esophageal carcinomas. The IGF-IR targeting strategies might be useful anticancer therapeutics which can be used widely for human esophageal malignancies.

    Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this work was to explore the role of epigenetic inactivation of apoptotic pathways in ovarian cancer by examining the DNA methylation and expression status of four proapoptotic genes in primary ovarian cancers and cancer cell lines and to correlate those findings with the clinicopathological features of ovarian cancer patients. Experimental Design: Genomic DNA was isolated from 15 ovarian cancer cell lines, 80 primary ovarian cancer specimens, and 4 normal ovary specimens using phenol-chloroform extraction. The methylation status of the DNA was evaluated using combined bisulfite restriction analysis, gene expression was evaluated using reverse transcription-PCR, and histone acetylation was evaluated using chromatin immunoprecipitation. Results: Of the four proapoptotic genes studied, expression of TMS1/ASC was absent in six ovarian cancer cell lines. Dense methylation of the 5′ region of TMS1/ASC was detected in cells not expressing TMS1/ASC. Treating methylated cells with 5-aza-deoxycytidine restored gene expression, confirming the role of methylation in silencing the gene. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed histone to be deacetylated in cells not expressing TMS1/ASC, indicating that histone deacetylation is also involved in silencing TMS1/ASC. Aberrant methylation of TMS1/ASC was detected in 15 of 80 ovarian cancer tissues (19%) but in none of the normal ovary specimens. Aberrant methylation of TMS1/ASC was observed significantly more often in clear cell-type ovarian cancers than in other tumor types (P & lt; 0.0001). Conclusions: Methylation-mediated silencing of TMS1/ASC confers a survival advantage to tumor cells by enabling them to escape apoptosis. The role for aberrant methylation in human ovarian tumorigenesis may be particularly important for ovarian cancers with the clear cell phenotype.

    Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize the relationship of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II expression with IGF-I, IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 in early colorectal carcinogenesis. Experimental Design: With the semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR, 90 human colorectal tumor tissues (63 adenomas and 27 submucosal pT1 cancers) were analyzed for IGF-II, IGF-IR, IGF-I, COX-2, and MMP-7 expression. Ninety-nine adenoma tissues and 60 pT1 cancer tissues were also analyzed immunohistochemically for IGF-II expression. Loss of imprinting of the IGF-II gene was analyzed. Paired carcinoma and adenoma tissues obtained from a carcinoma in adenoma lesion was analyzed by a cDNA array. Results: IGF-II mRNA expression was detected in 37.8% of the 90 colorectal tumor tissues. The frequency of IGF-II mRNA expression was significantly higher in pT1 cancer (70.4%) than in adenoma (23.8%). Immunohistochemical IGF-II expression was also more frequently detected in pT1 cancer (58.3%) than in adenoma (25.3%). Loss of imprinting of the IGF-II gene was observed in 15 (44.1%) of the 34 colorectal tumors in which IGF-II was overexpressed. IGF-II expression was positively correlated with the expression of IGF-IR and IGF-I. COX-2 and MMP-7 mRNA expression was detected in 42.2% and 77.8% of the tumor tissues, respectively, and both were positively correlated with IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF-IR expression. IGF-II was the most differentially expressed gene between carcinoma and adenoma lesions. Conclusions: IGF-II, in conjunction with IGF-IR, IGF-I, COX-2, and MMP-7, seems to play a key role in the early stage of colorectal carcinogenesis.

    Abstract: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I receptor (IGF-IR) signaling is required for carcinogenicity and progression of several cancers but the function of this pathway and its utility as a therapeutic target has not been well studied in biliary tract carcinomas. We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of elements of the IGF axis, matrilysin, overexpression of p53, and the methylation status of the IGFBP-3 promoter in 80 surgically resected biliary tract carcinomas. We also assessed the effect of IGF-IR blockade on signal transduction, proliferation, and survival in 3 biliary tract cancer cell lines using a new tyrosine kinase inhibitor, BMS-536924, and dominant negative IGF-IR (IGF-IR/dn). The effects of IGF-IR blockade was also studied in nude mouse xenografts models. IGF-I was expressed in 60% and IGF-II in 50% of tumors and high expression was associated with tumor size. IGF-IR was expressed in 69% of the cases and was associated to advanced stage and matrilysin expression. Hypermethylation of the IGFBP-3 promoter was detected in 41% and was inversely correlated with p53 expression. BMS-536924 blocked autophosphorylation of IGF-IR and both Akt and ERK activation by both IGF-I and insulin. BMS-536924 suppressed proliferation and tumorigenicity in vitro in a dose-dependent fashion. This inhibitor up-regulated chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in a dose dependent fashion. Moreover, IGF-IR blockade was effective against tumors in mice. IGF-IR might identify a subset of biliary tract cancers with a particularly aggressive phenotype and is a candidate therapeutic target in this disease. BMS-536924 may have significant therapeutic utility. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].
