EWING tumor Poorly differentiated cells of unknown origin Adolescent patients Age
EWS/FLI1 expressed shRNA +DOX -DOX EWS/FLI1 silenced 6 5 -DOX 4 Nb of cells (X106) 3 2 1 0 D10 D13 D17 D21 EWING as a model system for cancer collaboration with Olivier Delattre UMR830 INSERM/Curie “Simple” situation: one genetic event leads to cancer Silencing and reactivation of EWS/FLI1 by inducible shRNA
Available Data collected for EWING Microarrays: Experiments on EWS/FLI1 inhibition, time series Patients transcriptomes and CGH Transcriptome public data CHiP-Chip: High-density promoter arrays for EWS/FLI-1 TF Tiling arrays for EWS/FLI-1 TF miRNA: Experiments on the inducible system Data normalization and integration is essential BioStat and BioIT groups (Philippe Hupé, Philippe La Rosa)
IGF pathway … EWS/FLI1 CELL PROLIFERATION direct targets secondary targets TGFb pathway APOPTOSIS Nfkb pathway Ewing network How EWS/FLI-1 gene regulates proliferation and apoptosis? Data collection and generation Network modeling Biological network reconstruction Prediction and experiment design
Response time Response speed Model-based analysis: switch-type response Switch score
First steps made Mode analysis of time series of EWS/FLI1 inhibition (with use of PCA) Characterizing response time for every gene Statistical analysis of EWING patients data (ICA, clustering, classification) CHiP-chip analysis (several candidate targets are discovered) Current research Reconstruction of genetic network around EWS/FLI1 using promoter sequence analysis mining literature reverse network engineering from data Analysis of microRNA time series
SMAD targets Good switches Bad switches Pathway scoring by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis TGF-b pathway
