It is likely that targeting cancer cell self-renewal pathways will result in more effective cancer therapies. Microarray-based multigene-expression signatures derived from stem cells and progenitor cells hold promise, but they are difficult to use in clinical practice. Analysis of DNase I cutting of uniquely end-labeled complexes suggests that the fragment containing a single 72-bp element forms a positioned core particle. Dalerba, P., Sahoo, D., Paik, S., Guo, X., Yothers, G., Song, N., Wilcox-Fogel, N., Forg, E., Rajendran, P. S., Miranda, S.

A cell-intrinsic role for TLR2-MYD88 in intestinal and breast epithelia and oncogenesis. We report that Bcl-XL, which functions like Bcl-2 to inhibit apoptosis, is highly expressed in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells. More. Using 2 independent analyses, we identified multiple pathways that are aberrantly regulated in leukemic stem cells compared with normal HSC. Lower ROS levels in CSCs are associated with increased expression of free radical scavenging systems. Li, C., Heidt, D. G., Dalerba, P., Burant, C. F., Zhang, L., Adsay, V., Wicha, M., Clarke, M.

President Biden has reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and collective defense and has stated that a strong European Union is in the U.S. interest. These sequences, when compared with those previously reported for the human c-myb gene, reveal an alternative splicing process that generates at least four forms of the c-myb message. This effect is the same as that of Lys-305 mutation. This genetic signature of tumorigenic breast-cancer cells was even more strongly associated with clinical outcomes when combined with the WR signature in breast cancer. We investigated the existence of colonic Paneth-like cells that have a distinct transcriptional signature and support Lgr5(+) stem cells.We used multicolor fluorescence-activated cell sorting to isolate different subregions of colon crypts, based on known markers, from dissociated colonic epithelium of mice. These include the nuclear import and export signals of p53, inhibition of p53 nuclear import and export by oligomerization, MDM2-mediated p53 nuclear export, and possible roles of p53 phosphorylation in regulating p53 cellular localization. Bcl11b maintains the long-term mammary stem cell and is crucial for drug resistance in breast cancer. View details for Web of Science ID A1992HP64200009. A group of 87 of 2115 tumor samples (4.1%) lacked CDX2 expression. Parks, I. K., Klug, C. A., Li, K. J., Jerabek, L., Li, L. H., Nanamori, M., Neubig, R. R., Hood, L., Weissman, I. L., Clarke, M. F. A novel, conditionally replicative adenovirus for the treatment of breast cancer that allows controlled replication of E1a-deleted adenoviral vectors. Our metastatic cancer models, combined with noninvasive imaging techniques, constitute an integrated approach that could be applied to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the dissemination of metastatic CSCs (MCSCs) and to explore therapeutic strategies targeting MCSCs in general or to evaluate individual patient tumor cells and predict response to therapy. This article discusses the role of the Bcl-2 family of proteins in the light of these findings. We identify two distinct super-enhancers (SEs) associated with CD47 in certain cancer cell types. Professor Michael Clarke, Director of the Royal United Services Institute and a graduate of the Department of International Politics, was honoured as Fellow of Aberystwyth University on Tuesday 10 July. This system allows one round of viral replication. These latter cell lines do express HLA-DR alpha-mRNA, as well as HLA-DR surface antigens. His drumming was basic and, for the most part, appropriate for the Byrds' needs, although he was . A temperature-sensitive mutant of murine p53 (p53Val-135) was transfected by electroporation into murine erythroleukemia cells (DP16-1) lacking endogenous expression of p53. Stem cells persist throughout life by self-renewing in numerous tissues including the central and peripheral nervous systems. Kalani, M. A., Dalerba, P., Clarke, M. F., Leong, S. P.

These findings suggest that deregulated expression of Bcl-xS using an adenovirus may provide a novel mechanism for initiating cell death in tumors that express Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL. Raised by his single mother, Jean, a house cleaner, on Chicago's South Side, Duncan grew up resisting drugs and alcohol, instead concentrating on school. We developed northstar, a computational approach to classify thousands of cells based on published data within seconds while simultaneously identifying and highlighting new cell states such as malignancies. Dalerba, P., Kalisky, T., Sahoo, D., Rajendran, P. S., Rothenberg, M. E., Leyrat, A. We performed multiplexed single-cell gene expression analysis with quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction followed by hierarchical clustering analysis to characterize distinct cell types. Light chain negative cells reexpressed light chains after time in culture. The effect of these changes on protein function is currently unknown. Although cancer cell lines provide invaluable information, their biological properties often differ in crucial ways from de novo cancer cells. Pharmacological depletion of ROS scavengers in CSCs markedly decreases their clonogenicity and results in radiosensitization. Here we implement single-cell PCR gene-expression analysis to dissect the cellular composition of primary human normal colon and colon cancer epithelia. Recently, we have found that a recombinant adenovirus vector that contains a bcl-x, minigene (a dominant negative inhibitor of the bcl-2 family), called the bcl-x(s) adenovirus, is lethal to cancer cells derived from epithelial tissues, but not to normal human hematopoietic cells. In DNA from the T-cells not expressing DR alpha mRNA, all of the potential HpaII sites within the BglII fragment appeared to be methylated. In the validation data set, which included 314 patients, the rate of 5-year disease-free survival was lower among the 38 patients (12.1%) with CDX2 protein-negative colon cancers than among the 276 (87.9%) with CDX2 protein-positive colon cancers (hazard ratio, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.36 to 4.29; P=0.003). Since stromal cells in traditional human bone marrow cultures produce little HGFs, we have begun by asking whether local supplementation of hematopoietic growth factors via genetically engineered stromal cells might augment hematopoiesis in liquid cultures. Current page 1; Page 2; The mechanism of leukaemogenic transformation by human T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV), a retrovirus implicated in the aetiology of certain adult T-cell leukaemias and lymphomas, is unknown but is conceivably associated with the expression of the cellular analogues of retroviral oncogenes. Professor William Clarke. However, no indomethacin or ETYA inhibition of oxygen utilization was detected in the presence of 1 mM KCN, suggesting that the inhibitable portion of the respiratory burst observed with indomethacin or ETYA was dependent on mitochondrial respiration. Hisamori, S., Dalerba, P., Shimono, Y., Rothenberg, M. E., Zabara, M., Cai, S., Qian, D., Clarke, M. F. Stimulation of natural killer cells with a CD137-specific antibody enhances trastuzumab efficacy in xenotransplant models of breast cancer. In 2007, he became the Director of the Royal United Services Institute. An in vivo reconstitution assay revealed that the frequency of HSCs was 1/16 in Bmi-1high c-kit+ lin -Sca-1+ bone marrow (BM) cells and 1/49 in Bmi-1 high lin- BM cells, suggesting that Bmi-1 may serve as a marker for normal HSCs. HSCs maintain themselves for the lifetime of the organism because of their ability to self-renew. Anti-CD47 antibody therapy initiated on larger tumors inhibited tumor growth and prevented or treated metastasis, but initiation of the therapy on smaller tumors was potentially curative. Gain- and loss-of-function studies show that Bcl11b induces cells to enter the G0 phase of the cell cycle and become quiescent. Thus, Bmi-1 dependence distinguishes stem cell self-renewal from restricted progenitor proliferation in these tissues. Leukemic peripheral blood lymphocytes from individuals infected with the human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV) were found to express little or no viral RNA before being put into tissue culture. Mouse RGS18 is expressed from a single gene and shows tissue specific distribution. (2007) analyze the relationship between CSC and tumor metastasis. Ryan, J. J., Danish, R., Gottlieb, C. A., Clarke, M. F. C-MYB EFFECTS ON KINETIC EVENTS DURING MEL CELL-DIFFERENTIATION. Human T cell lymphoma proviral (HTLV) sequences were demonstrated in both cell lines. The Thy-1-CD24medCD49fhigh phenotype contains a rare progenitor population that is able to form primary mammary outgrowths with significantly decreased serial in vivo transplantation potential.CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, Thy-1 expression in the immature cell compartment is a useful tool to study the functional heterogeneity that drives mammary gland development and has implications for disease etiology. Increased levels of Bcl-XL were found in a subset of primary human breast carcinomas, as well as in the breast cancer line, T47D. Replication-deficient viral vectors are currently being used in gene transfer strategies to treat cancer cells. Olivieri, J., Dehghannasiri, R., Wang, P. L., Jang, S., de Morree, A., Tan, S.

In addition to his clinical duties in the division of Oncology, Dr. Clarke maintains a laboratory focused on two areas of research: i) the control of self-renewal of normal stem cells and their malignant counterparts; and ii) the identification and characterization of cancer stem . The biotinylated proteins migrated with the same molecular weight as the native, unmodified protein as determined by SDS-PAGE and could be detected by Western blotting with alkaline phosphatase conjugated streptavidin, thus demonstrating the biotin linkage. Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors have advanced colon cancer treatment. "Bulk" measurements of antiviral innate immune responses from pooled cells yield averaged signals and do not reveal underlying signaling heterogeneity in infected and bystander single cells. G418-resistant clones, which expressed the c-sis cDNA, were selected and characterized. View details for DOI 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-06-2030, View details for Web of Science ID 000244137300026. Poorly regulated tissue remodeling results in increased breast cancer risk, yet how breast cancer stem cells (CSC) participate in remodeling is unknown. His best known works are the script he wrote with American film director Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and the novel of that film. These results indicate that the CSD can regulate p53 nuclear import by controlling access of the NLS to importin alpha binding. While cell lines expressing p53 alone rapidly died, those cells co-expressing Bcl-XL survived. Here we show that the gene encoding alpha-catenin (CTNNA1) is expressed at a much lower level in leukemia-initiating stem cells from individuals with AML or MDS with a 5q deletion than in individuals with MDS or AML lacking a 5q deletion or in normal hematopoietic stem cells. These data support a model in which low levels of sis gene expression in tumors contribute to the acquisition of some features of transformation but require complementation by other genes or factors to produce a fully malignant phenotype. Rothenberg, M. E., Nusse, Y., Kalisky, T., Lee, J. J., Dalerba, P., Scheeren, F., Lobo, N., Kulkarni, S., Sim, S., Qian, D., Beachy, P. A., Pasricha, P. J., Quake, S. R., Clarke, M. F.

Street. Constitutive expression of mbm2, in contrast to c-myb, here resulted in enhanced differentiation of F-MEL cells. This promoter induces transcriptional activation of the E1a and E4 units in response to estrogens in cells that express the ERs. School of Civil Engineering +61 7 336 56464. william.clarke@uq.edu.au. If this difference in tumorigenicity of cancer cells also occurs in patients, then the ability to enrich for cancer stem cells lays an important groundwork for future studies where mechanisms involved in cancer stem cells can now be investigated. Loss of Bcl11b leads to a Cdkn2a-dependent exhaustion of ductal epithelium and loss of epithelial cell regenerative capacity. The tumors in these tissues consist of heterogeneous populations of cancer cells that differ markedly in their ability to proliferate and form new tumors. Here, we report that genetic or pharmacologic Hedgehog pathway inhibition intensifies colon inflammation (colitis) in mice. - Associate Professor: Business Management Disease status (no. Treatment of these T-cells with 5-azacytidine resulted in the induction of DR surface antigen expression, the appearance of DR alpha mRNA, and the partial demethylation of the DR alpha DNA sequences.

He was, from 1990 to 2001, the founding Director of the Centre for Defence Studies (CDS) at King's. He was appointed as Professor of Defence Studies in 1995. Furthermore, the tumorigenic CD44(+) cells differentially express the BMI1 gene, at both the RNA and protein levels. Bockhorn, J., Yee, K., Chang, Y., Prat, A., Huo, D., Nwachukwu, C., Dalton, R., Huang, S., Swanson, K. E., Perou, C. M., Olopade, O. I., Clarke, M. F., Greene, G. L., Liu, H. Innate immune response to homologous rotavirus infection in the small intestinal villous epithelium at single-cell resolution. Michael Clarke, MD is a Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. Solid tumors such as breast cancers contain heterogeneous populations of neoplastic cells. The expression of the E1A gene in both viruses is controlled by a minimal dual-specificity promoter that responds to estrogens and hypoxia. Stem cells in many tissues sustain themselves by entering a quiescent state to avoid genomic insults and to prevent exhaustion caused by excessive proliferation. The height of Michael Clarke is in centimeters- 165 cm in meters- 1.65 m in Feet Inches- 5' 5". Here we show that bone marrow cells from mice deficient in three genes genetically downstream of Bmi1--p16Ink4a, p19Arf and Trp53 (triple mutant mice; p16Ink4a and p19Arf are alternative reading frames of the same gene (also called Cdkn2a) that encode different proteins)--have an approximately 10-fold increase in cells able to reconstitute the blood long term. Il neo-ateismo ritiene che la superstizione, la religione e l'irrazionalismo non dovrebbero essere tollerati, e si propone di contrastarli . Park, I., Qian, D., Kiel, M., Becker, M., Prohaska, S., Weissman, I., Morrison, S., Clarke, M. Bmi-1 is required for maintenance of adult self-renewing haematopoietic stem cells. Together, these data lay the groundwork for a systemic understanding of the interplay between blood-borne factors and cellular integrity. However, DNA from HTLV-infected lymphocytes cultured for 48 hr (by which time increases in viral RNA expression are evident) did not differ detectably with respect to proviral DNA methylation from uncultured cells, suggesting that the increase in viral RNA expression after short-term culture is mediated by mechanisms independent of changes in DNA methylation. Individually and in combinations, IL-3, GM-CSF, and Epo were added to the culture medium of LTBMCs that were maintained with 50% medium volume exchange per day. These data, taken together with similar findings with other human neoplasms, show that CD47 is a commonly expressed molecule on all cancers, its function to block phagocytosis is known, and blockade of its function leads to tumor cell phagocytosis and elimination. Bockhorn, J., Dalton, R., Nwachukwu, C., Huang, S., Prat, A., Yee, K., Chang, Y., Huo, D., Wen, Y., Swanson, K. E., Qiu, T., Lu, J., Park, S. Y., Dolan, M. E., Perou, C. M., Olopade, O. I., Clarke, M. F., Greene, G. L., Liu, H. MicroRNA-30c targets cytoskeleton genes involved in breast cancer cell invasion. Using in vivo lineage tracing and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patient derived xenografts we demonstrate that the repopulating capacity in normal mammary epithelial cells and tumorigenic capacity in TNBC is independent of expression of EMT-associated genes.

The complexity and inefficiency of chromatin immunoprecipitation strategies restrict their sensitivity and application when examining rare cell populations. Faculty. Coexpression of bcl-2 and c-myc can totally overcome p53-induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by altering the subcellular trafficking of p53 during the cell cycle: the p53 remains in the cytoplasm of the cotransfected cells during a critical period in G1.

When isolated from mouse colon, cKit(+) cells promoted formation of organoids from Lgr5(+) stem cells, which expressed Kitl/stem cell factor, the ligand for cKit. He was Director General of the Royal United Services Institute from 2017-2015 and is now a Distinguished Fellow at RUSI. When a promoter containing these elements is used to control the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene harakiri, the induction of cell death can be activated by estrogens and hypoxia, and inhibited by antiestrogens such as tamoxifen. This model, first developed in human myeloid leukemias, is today being extended to solid tumors, such as breast and brain cancer. View details for Web of Science ID A1993KD78500072. Furthermore, because these cells drive tumor development, strategies designed to target this population may lead to more effective therapies. The main battle tanks have a maximum speed of around 43.5mph and a range of . To determine the role of these proteins in maintaining cancer cell viability, an adenovirus vector that expresses bcl-xs, a functional inhibitor of these proteins, was constructed. Molofsky, A.

Email: charlotte.clarke@ed.ac.uk. The metabolism of oxygen, although central to life, produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have been implicated in processes as diverse as cancer, cardiovascular disease and ageing. Despite this central role, the mechanism of action of Bcl-2 is not yet clear. To enrich mRNAs predominantly expressed in uncommitted cell lineages, 54 000 cDNA clones generated from a highly enriched population of HSCs and a mixed population of stem and early multipotent progenitor (MPP) cells were arrayed on nylon membranes (macroarray or high-density array), and subtracted with cDNA probes derived from mature lineage cells including spleen, thymus, and bone marrow. p16Ink4a deficiency partially reverses the self-renewal defect in Bmi-1-/- neural stem cells. Human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV), first isolated in the United States from a patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is a unique horizontally transmitted retrovirus which is highly associated with certain adult T-cell malignancies. Data on sequence comparisons with mouse and chicken homologues of c-myb coupled with oligonucleotide hybridization to genomic clones of the human c-myb gene indicate that this alternative splicing process utilizes three closely spaced splice donor sites and two unique exons present between viral defined exons 5 and 6. However, at later times X-ray irradiated parental DP16-1 cells also had decreased survival compared to the unirradiated control. Fundamentally, the system is the paradigm of a complex interactive tissue, in which the proliferation and regulated differentiation of one parenchymal cell type (the hematopoietic stem cell) is governed by the surrounding stromal cells. Evidence from studies in murine and human embryonic stem cells indicates that Polycomb group proteins play a dynamic role in concert with master transcriptional regulators in actively maintaining an undifferentiated state, suggesting that this mechanism applies to multiple types of stem cell. The metabolic and secretory characteristics of NIH-3T3 fibroblasts transfected with a cDNA encoding human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were examined as a function of the culture medium exchange schedule. Although monoclonal in origin, most tumors appear to contain a heterogeneous population of cancer cells. These experiments demonstrate the feasibility of using bcl-xs gene therapy to induce apoptosis in human breast tumors. At present, neither the role that the stromal cell extra-cellular matrix (ECM) plays in influencing stroma behavior is well understood nor are the effects of stroma aging.

With noninvasive imaging approaches, as few as 10 cells of stably labeled BCSCs could be tracked in vivo, enabling studies of early tumor growth and spontaneous metastasis. In SAOS-2 cells, the mutant p53 was a less efficient inducer of p21/CIP1/WAF1 expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful assay used to probe DNA-protein interactions.

Isolation and molecular characterization of cancer stem cells in MMTV-Wnt-1 murine breast tumors. Murine CD18 can be expressed on the cell surface of up to 20% of the mature cells generated by the culture system, suggesting that clinically significant levels of gene transfer may be occurring. Enforced expression of miR-142 or miR-150 in normal mouse mammary stem cells resulted in the regeneration of hyperproliferative mammary glands in vivo. However, multipotent progenitors lack the ability to self-renew, therefore their mitotic capacity and expansion potential are limited and they are destined to eventually stop proliferating after a finite number of cell divisions. The plasmid vector contains simian virus 40-derived promotor, splice, and polyadenylation sequences as well as a transcription unit for a dihydrofolate reductase cDNA. Emerging evidence has suggested that the capability of a tumor to grow and propagate is dependent on a small subset of cells within a tumor, termed cancer stem cells.

Implications of Cancer Stem Cells for Tumor Metastasis. We demonstrate that radiation-induced cell death occurs by both p53-dependent and -independent pathways and overexpression of bcl-2 modulates both pathways. Best response after ABMT included: two CR, one CR surgically NED, five PR, three PR surgically NED, seven SD, and eight PD. Orthologs of these differentially expressed genes predicted survival of human breast cancer patients from two different study groups. 29 Oxford St, Pierce 229. jaiz@seas.harvard.edu (617) 495-3558. A panel of NB cell lines (CHP-382, GOTO, SHEP-1, SHSY-5Y, and GI-CA-N) were infected with either a bcl-xS adenovirus (pAdRSV-bcl-xS) or a control virus (pAdRSV-lac-z). Using mammary epithelial-specific mouse models targeting Trp53 and Cdkn2a, the gene coding for p16INK4a and p19ARF, we demonstrate that p53, p16INK4a, and p19ARF do not play a significant role in the limitation of normal mammary epithelium self-renewal and proliferation, whereas in the presence of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-, Trp53-/-Cdkn2a-/- mammary basal cells exhibit amplified proliferation. Subsequently, the majority of tumors adapt to the withdrawal of KrasG12D expression and return. Bcl-2 prevented radiation-induced cell death in DP16-1 cells expressing wtp53 and delayed radiation-induced cell death in DP16-1 cells without wtp53. Unfortunately, although chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy can sometimes shrink tumors, metastatic cancers of epithelial origin are essentially incurable. Recently, there have been exciting developments in identifying high-risk patient cohorts, refinements in the understanding of systemic vs localized drug delivery to metastatic niches, liquid biomarker development, and dramatic advances in tumor immune therapy, all of which promise new and innovative approaches to tackling the problem ofdetecting and treating the metastatic spread of CRC to the liver. Identification of pancreatic cancer stem cells and further elucidation of the signaling pathways that regulate their growth and survival may provide novel therapeutic approaches to treat pancreatic cancer, which is notoriously resistant to standard chemotherapy and radiation. Furthermore, in several other nonhematopoietic tissues, cells could be separated into distinct subpopulations with differential Bmi-1 expression. By immunohistochemical analysis, the CD44(+) cells in the tumor express high levels of nuclear BMI1, and are arrayed in characteristic tumor microdomains.
