Abstract Clinically, almost 50% of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) originates from the progression of Barrett’s esophagus (BE). EAC is often diagnosed at late stages and is related to dismal prognosis. However, there are still no effective strategies for stratification and therapy in BE derived EAC (BE-EAC). Two public datasets (GSE26886 and GSE37200) are analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between BE and EAC. A series of bioinformatics analyses are performed to explore potential biomarkers associated with BE-EAC. 27 up- and 104 down-regulated genes are identified between GSE26886 and GSE37200. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicate that the DEGs are highly involved in tumorigenesis. Subsequently, Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) is performed to explore the potential genes related to BE-EAC, which are further validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. 5 up-regulated genes (MYO1A, ACE2, COL1A1, LGALS4, and ADRA2A) and 3 down-regulated genes (AADAC, RAB27A, and P2RY14) were found in BE-EAC. Among them, the expression level of AADAC, ACE2 and ADRA2A show a significant correlation with patients’ survival probability. In conclusion, MYO1A, ACE2, COL1A1, LGALS4, ADRA2A, AADAC, RAB27A, and P2RY14 are potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in BE-EAC.

Abstract Despite efforts to gain a deeper understanding of its molecular architecture, glioblastoma (GBM) remains uniformly fatal. While genome-based molecular subtyping has revealed that GBMs may be parsed into several molecularly distinct categories, this insight has yielded little progress towards extending patient survival. In particular, the great phenotypic heterogeneity of GBM – both inter and intratumorally – has hindered therapeutic efforts. To this end, we interrogated tumor samples using a pathway-based approach to resolve tumoral heterogeneity. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was applied to gene expression data and used to provide an overview of each sample that can be compared to other samples by generating sample clusters based on overall patterns of enrichment. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) samples were clustered using the canonical and oncogenic signatures and in both cases the clustering was distinct from the molecular subtype previously reported and clusters were informative of patient survival. We also analyzed single cell RNA sequencing datasets and uniformly found two clusters of cells enriched for cell cycle regulation and survival pathways. We have validated our approach by generating gene lists from common elements found in the top contributing genesets for a particular cluster and testing the top targets in appropriate gliomasphere patient-derived lines. Samples enriched for cell cycle related genesets showed a decrease in sphere formation capacity when E2F1, out top target, was silenced and when treated with fulvestrant and calcitriol, which were identified as potential drugs targeting this genelist. Conversely, no changes were observed in samples not enriched for this gene list. Finally, we interrogated spatial heterogeneity and found higher enrichment of the proliferative signature in contrast enhancing compared with non-enhancing regions. Our studies relate inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity to critical cellular pathways dysregulated in GBM, with the ultimate goal of establishing a pipeline for patient- and tumor-specific precision medicine.

Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer diagnosed in American women and is also the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Research has focused heavily on BC metastasis. Multiple signaling pathways have been implicated in regulating BC metastasis. Our knowledge of regulation of BC metastasis is, however, far from complete. Identification of new factors during metastasis is an essential step towards future therapy. Our labs have focused on Semaphorin 6D (SEMA6D), which was implicated in immune responses, heart development, and neurogenesis. It will be interesting to know SEMA6D-related genomic expression profile and its implications in clinical outcome. In this study, we examined the public datasets of breast invasive carcinoma from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We analyzed the expression of SEMA6D along with its related genes, their functions, pathways, and potential as copredictors for BC patients’ survival. We found 6-gene expression profile that can be used as such predictors. Our study provides evidences for the first time that breast invasive carcinoma may contain a subtype based on SEMA6D expression. The expression of SEMA6D gene may play an important role in promoting patient survival, especially among triple negative breast cancer patients.
