Translation of novel genetic biomarkers of various malignancies into clinical practice
Shao Jian-Yong's Laboratory

Overview
Personalized Medicine is quickly becoming a mainstay in the medical development. However, Personalized Medicine in Oncology is still at a nearly stage. To improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tumor, we devote ourselves to the translation of novel genetic biomarkers of various malignancies into clinical practice. Our laboratory also maintains a specific interest in clinical and basic research about pathogenesis, molecular genotyping and personalized treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. We developed a eight-signature classifier for prediction of nasopharyngeal carcinoma prognosis from a series of candidate biomarkers by SVM algorithm, including sex and seven genes, Epstein-Barr virus latency membrane protein 1, CD147, caveolin-1, phospho-P70S6 kinase, MMP11, survivin,and SPARC (Journal of Clinical Oncology 2011, 29: 4516-1525). And we identified profiling plasma microRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma with deep sequencing and quantitative realtime-PCR (Clinical Chemistry 2014, 60: 773-782). The study of miRNAs in breast cancer led to discovery of up-regulated miR-21 and down-regulated miR-125b in breast cancer that correlated well with patient’s prognosis and metastasis, which in turn has served as the basis for the development of targeted therapy for breast cancer(RNA. 2008 14: 2348-2360.; Cancer Res.,2011, Breast Cancer Research,2011; Breast Cancer Research 2011;13(1):R2; Cancer Res. 2011;71(10):3552-62).  Through collaborative research studies combining basic, translational, and clinical approaches we are seeking to understand triggers of nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression and develop better tools to monitor responses to targeted therapy of various cancers especially for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer and colorectal cancer. Our research group started researching for miRNA in cancers in the early stage, and our studies are widely accepted and have high international influence.

Research

Research Interests

The post-genomic era has provided unprecedented opportunity to examine the complex role of aberrant gene expression and regulation in the development and progression of cancer. The goal of our work is to develop molecular classification and molecular target for cancers by using various molecular biological methods. We believe that a clearer understanding of these biomarkers will translate into advancements in personalized diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Chromosome 7 Disomy Predicts Resistance to Cetuximab inKRAS Wild-type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients

Li,Y.H., et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2011.17(2): p. 382-90.PMID: 20884623

FISH detection of EGFR copy and chromosome 7 disomy.A,EGFR gene focal amplification in tumor cells. B, increase in EGFR gene copy number and polysomy of chromosome 7. C, homogenous of EGFR gene copy number with a homogeneous chromosome 7 Trisomy. D, no EGFR gene copy number and chromosome 7 disomy alteration pattern.

Metastatic colorectal cancer patients with low epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)gene copy number are unlikely to respond to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb)treatment. Our results showed firstly that it may be feasible to consider EGFR FISH pattern of chromosome 7 disomy as a negative predictive factor for cetuximab response in KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. Together with KRAS mutation, chromosome 7 disomy predicts metastatic colorectal cancer patients will not respond to cetuximab.

Eight-Signature Classifier for Prediction of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Survival

miR-125bis Methylated and Functions as a Tumor Suppressor by Regulating the ETS1 Proto-oncogene in Human Invasive Breast Cancer

Zhang, Y.,et al., Cancer Res, 2011.71(10): p. 3552-62.

ETS1 is a direct target of miR-125b and knockdown of ETS1 suppresses cell growth, proliferation, and induces G1 cell-cycle arrest.

The miR-125b is dysregulated in various human cancers but its underlying mechanisms of action are poorly understood. We report that miR-125b is down regulated in invasive breast cancers where it predicts poor patient survival. Hypermethylation of the miR-125b promoter partially accounted for reduction of miR-125b expression in human breast cancer. Ectopic restoration of miR-125b expression in breast cancer cells suppressed proliferation, induced G1 cell-cycle arrest in vitro, and inhibited tumorigenesis in vivo. We identified the ETS1 gene as a novel direct target of miR-125b. siRNA-mediated ETS1 knockdown phenocopied the effect of miR-125b in breast cell lines and ETS1 overexpression in invasive breast cancer tissues also correlated with poor patient prognosis. Our findings point to an important role for miR-125b in the molecular etiology of invasive breast cancer, and they suggest miR-125b as a potential theranostic tool in this disease.
