Clinical metabolomics studies often have to cope with limited sample amounts, thus miniaturized liquid chromatography (LC) systems are a promising alternative. Their applicability has already been demonstrated in various fields, including a few metabolomics studies that mainly used reversed-phase chromatography. However, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), which is widely used in metabolomics due to its particular suitability for the analysis of polar molecules, has rarely been tested for miniaturized LC-MS analysis of small molecules.

In order to differentiate prognostic subgroups of patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, we analyzed the expression of 800 miRNAs with the NanoString nCounter human miRNA assay on a cohort of 228 FFPE samples of patients enrolled in the RICOVER-60 and MegaCHOEP trials. We identified significant miRNA signatures for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) by LASSO-penalized linear Cox-regression. High expression levels of miR-130a-3p and miR-423-5p indicate a better prognosis, whereas high levels of miR-374b-5p, miR-590-5p, miR-186-5p, and miR-106b-5p increase patients' risk levels for OS.

Metabolic Drug Response Phenotyping in Colorectal Cancer Organoids by LC-QTOF-MS.

Metabolites

December 2020

Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch-Institute of Clinical Pharmacology, Stuttgart, Germany and University of Tuebingen, 70376 Tuebingen, Germany.

As metabolic rewiring is crucial for cancer cell proliferation, metabolic phenotyping of patient-derived organoids is desirable to identify drug-induced changes and trace metabolic vulnerabilities of tumor subtypes. We established a novel protocol for metabolomic and lipidomic profiling of colorectal cancer organoids by liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) facing the challenge of capturing metabolic information from a minimal sample amount (<500 cells/injection) in the presence of an extracellular matrix (ECM). The best procedure of the tested protocols included ultrasonic metabolite extraction with acetonitrile/methanol/water (2:2:1, ) without ECM removal.

Multidrug resistance due to facilitated drug efflux mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is a main cause for failure of cancer therapy. Genetic polymorphisms in ABC genes affect the disposition of chemotherapeutics and constitute important biomarkers for therapeutic response and toxicity. Here we correlated germline variability in ABC transporters with disease-specific survival (DSS) in 960 breast cancer (BRCA), 314 clear cell renal cell carcinoma and 325 hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Background: Ixazomib-revlimid-dexamethason showed significant activity in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Here, we evaluate ixazomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone for induction treatment followed by ixazomib maintenance therapy in RRMM patients.

Methods: Ninety patients have been included.

In the current study we compared the molecular signature of expanded mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from selected CD271+ bone marrow mononuclear cells (CD271-MSCs) and MSCs derived from non-selected bone marrow mononuclear cells by plastic adherence (PA-MSCs). Transcriptome analysis demonstrated for the first time the upregulation of 115 and downregulation of 131 genes in CD271-MSCs. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the upregulated genes in CD271-MSCs are significantly enriched for extracellular matrix (tenascin XB, elastin, ABI family, member 3 (NESH) binding protein, carboxypeptidase Z, laminin alpha 2 and nephroblastoma overexpressed) and cell adhesion (CXCR7, GPNMB, MYBPH, SVEP1, ARHGAP6, TSPEAR, PIK3CG, ABL2 and NCAM1).

Methylomes of renal cell lines and tumors or metastases differ significantly with impact on pharmacogenes.

Sci Rep

July 2016

Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch Institute of Clinical Pharmacology, Stuttgart, Germany and University of Tuebingen, Auerbachstr. 112, 70376 Stuttgart, Germany.

Current therapies for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) show limited efficacy. Drug efficacy, typically investigated in preclinical cell line models during drug development, is influenced by pharmacogenes involved in targeting and disposition of drugs. Here we show through genome-wide DNA methylation profiling, that methylation patterns are concordant between primary ccRCC and macro-metastases irrespective of metastatic sites (rs ≥ 0.

Antimicrobial peptides and gut microbiota in homeostasis and pathology.

EMBO Mol Med

October 2013

Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch-Institute of Clinical Pharmacology, Stuttgart, Germany and University of Tuebingen, Germany.

We survive because we adapted to a world of microorganisms. All our epithelial surfaces participate in keeping up an effective barrier against microbes while not initiating ongoing inflammatory processes and risking collateral damage to the host. Major players in this scenario are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).
