Abstract
Objective
To explore underlying mechanisms that regulate hMSH2 expression and drug
susceptibility in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
Methods
Using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) we used bioinformatical
analysis to predict transcription factors (TFs) that potentially regulate
hMSH2. RT-qPCR, Western blot, and luciferase assays were undertaken using
ovarian cancer cell lines to verify the identified TF. Expressions of the TF
were modulated using overexpression or knockdown, and the corresponding
cellular responses to cisplatin were examined.
Results
The TF, E2F1, was found to regulate the hMSH2 gene. The expression level of
E2F1 correlated with cisplatin susceptibility
in vitro.
Kaplan-Meier analysis of 77 patients with EOC showed that low E2F1
expression was associated with worse survival.
Conclusions
To our knowledge, this is the first report of E2F1 regulated MSH2 expression
playing a role in drug resistance of platinum-based treatments for patients
with EOC. Further work is need to confirm our results.
Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population-based cancer occurrence. Incidence data (through 2016) were collected by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program; the National Program of Cancer Registries; and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. Mortality data (through 2017) were collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2020, 1,806,590 new cancer cases and 606,520 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. The cancer death rate rose until 1991, then fell continuously through 2017, resulting in an overall decline of 29% that translates into an estimated 2.9 million fewer cancer deaths than would have occurred if peak rates had persisted. This progress is driven by long-term declines in death rates for the 4 leading cancers (lung, colorectal, breast, prostate); however, over the past decade (2008-2017), reductions slowed for female breast and colorectal cancers, and halted for prostate cancer. In contrast, declines accelerated for lung cancer, from 3% annually during 2008 through 2013 to 5% during 2013 through 2017 in men and from 2% to almost 4% in women, spurring the largest ever single-year drop in overall cancer mortality of 2.2% from 2016 to 2017. Yet lung cancer still caused more deaths in 2017 than breast, prostate, colorectal, and brain cancers combined. Recent mortality declines were also dramatic for melanoma of the skin in the wake of US Food and Drug Administration approval of new therapies for metastatic disease, escalating to 7% annually during 2013 through 2017 from 1% during 2006 through 2010 in men and women aged 50 to 64 years and from 2% to 3% in those aged 20 to 49 years; annual declines of 5% to 6% in individuals aged 65 years and older are particularly striking because rates in this age group were increasing prior to 2013. It is also notable that long-term rapid increases in liver cancer mortality have attenuated in women and stabilized in men. In summary, slowing momentum for some cancers amenable to early detection is juxtaposed with notable gains for other common cancers.
Abstract Introduced in 2017, the GEPIA (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis) web server has been a valuable and highly cited resource for gene expression analysis based on tumor and normal samples from the TCGA and the GTEx databases. Here, we present GEPIA2, an updated and enhanced version to provide insights with higher resolution and more functionalities. Featuring 198 619 isoforms and 84 cancer subtypes, GEPIA2 has extended gene expression quantification from the gene level to the transcript level, and supports analysis of a specific cancer subtype, and comparison between subtypes. In addition, GEPIA2 has adopted new analysis techniques of gene signature quantification inspired by single-cell sequencing studies, and provides customized analysis where users can upload their own RNA-seq data and compare them with TCGA and GTEx samples. We also offer an API for batch process and easy retrieval of the analysis results. The updated web server is publicly accessible at http://gepia2.cancer-pku.cn/.
