metavectum Recklinghausen Modern Moleculare Diagnostic in Oncology
Aims of Molecular Oncology • Early Diagnosis of Tumors • Detection of disseminated Tumor-Cells and Micrometastasis • Deciding of therapeutic Aims und Therapy Resistance • Monitoring of Therapy • Individualisised Therapy
Tumorprogression by genetic Alterations
Cancer is caused by genetic Alteration cancer cells obtain unnormal features Unkontrolled Growth Signal Unresponsive against growth inhibitors Loss of Apoptosis Angiogenesis Metastasis creation Unlimited Replication
Genetic Changes in Tumor-Cells Genes for Growth Factors Erb-b2, EGFR, c-Kit, PDGFR, K-ras Replications facilitating Genes Telomerase, c-myc Angiogenesis facilitating Genes VEGF Apoptosis facilitating Genes Bcl-2, p53
Circulating Tumor-cells (CTC) • Risk-Factor for recurrance and metastasis. • indicate risk for micro-metastasis. • Easier indentification of patients profiting from adjuvant therapy. Suggested further reading: Cristofanilli M. et al. Circulating tumor cells, disease progression, and survival in metastatic breast cancer. N Engl J Med. 2004 Aug 19;351(8):781-91. Allard WJ et al.: Tumor cells circulate in the peripheral blood of all major carcinomas but not in healthy subjects or patients with nonmalignant diseases Clin Cancer Res. 2004 Oct 15;10(20):6897-904.
Molekular Charakterisation of CTCs • Isolation of mRNA from CTCs • Measuring different Gene-Expression • Quantitative real-time PCR of molekular Tumor-Marker (e.g.): • Cytokeratine • PSA (Prostata), G250 (kidney), AFP (liver) • Growth / Cell-cycle-Regulating Gene (c-myc, erbb2, • Telomerase)
Effect of Soy on Gene-Expression disseminated Tumor-Cells • Five Patients per group suffering from metastastastic Prostate-, Ovary- and Breast -Ca received Chemo + fermented soy • Clinical response in all patients • Question: Can molecular factors predict clinical outcome of Ca-Therapy by fermented Soy ? • Clincial : Bestimmung der modulierende Wirkung von Soja auf die Gen-Expression vor und nach 100 Tagen Einnahme des Soja-Extraktes

Schlussfolgerungen • Alle Patienten zeigten auf die Gabe fermentierten Soja-Extraktes klinischen Response • Fermentiertes Soja-Extrakt fördert den pro-apoptotischen Zustand der Prostata-Karzinomzellen durch Herunterregulation von Bcl2. Dies dürfte die Zellen sensitiver machen für eine Chemotherapie und somit für eine Kombinationstherapie mit konventionellen Chemotherapeutika sprechen. • Zugabe von fermentiertem Soja induziert die Expression des antiproliferativen ER-beta bei Prostata- und Ovar-Ca Patienten. • Fermentiertes Soja-Extrakt induziert die Transkription des p21, welches zu einem Stillstand des Zellzyklus führt und damit das Krebswachstum unterdrückt, sowohl bei Prostata-, Ovar- als auch bei Mamma-Ca Patienten.
metavectum Interaction The classical view of biological organization is to consider the flow of information from the genome to the transcriptome, to the proteome and then the metabolome. The metabolome can be used to monitor changes in the genome or to measure the effects of downregulation or upregulation of a specific gene transcript.
