Description
[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent
application Ser. No. 13/299,000, filed Nov. 17, 2011, which claims
priority to provisional application 61/415,490, filed Nov. 19,
2010, which is herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention relates to compositions and methods
for cancer diagnosis, research and therapy, including but not
limited to, cancer markers. In particular, the present invention
relates to ncRNAs as diagnostic markers and clinical targets for
prostate, lung, breast and pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] A central aim in cancer research is to identify altered
genes that are causally implicated in oncogenesis. Several types of
somatic mutations have been identified including base
substitutions, insertions, deletions, translocations, and
chromosomal gains and losses, all of which result in altered
activity of an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene. First
hypothesized in the early 1900's, there is now compelling evidence
for a causal role for chromosomal rearrangements in cancer (Rowley,
Nat Rev Cancer 1: 245 (2001)). Recurrent chromosomal aberrations
were thought to be primarily characteristic of leukemias,
lymphomas, and sarcomas. Epithelial tumors (carcinomas), which are
much more common and contribute to a relatively large fraction of
the morbidity and mortality associated with human cancer, comprise
less than 1% of the known, disease-specific chromosomal
rearrangements (Mitelman, Mutat Res 462: 247 (2000)). While
hematological malignancies are often characterized by balanced,
disease-specific chromosomal rearrangements, most solid tumors have
a plethora of non-specific chromosomal aberrations. It is thought
that the karyotypic complexity of solid tumors is due to secondary
alterations acquired through cancer evolution or progression.
[0005] Two primary mechanisms of chromosomal rearrangements have
been described. In one mechanism, promoter/enhancer elements of one
gene are rearranged adjacent to a proto-oncogene, thus causing
altered expression of an oncogenic protein. This type of
translocation is exemplified by the apposition of immunoglobulin
(IG) and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes to MYC leading to activation
of this oncogene in B- and T-cell malignancies, respectively
(Rabbitts, Nature 372: 143 (1994)). In the second mechanism,
rearrangement results in the fusion of two genes, which produces a
fusion protein that may have a new function or altered activity.
The prototypic example of this translocation is the BCR-ABL gene
fusion in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) (Rowley, Nature 243:
290 (1973); de Klein et al., Nature 300: 765 (1982)). Importantly,
this finding led to the rational development of imatinib mesylate
(Gleevec), which successfully targets the BCR-ABL kinase (Deininger
et al., Blood 105: 2640 (2005)). Thus, diagnostic methods that
specifically identify epithelial tumors are needed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention relates to compositions and methods
for cancer diagnosis, research and therapy, including but not
limited to, cancer markers. In particular, the present invention
relates to ncRNAs as diagnostic markers and clinical targets for
prostate, lung, breast and pancreatic cancer.
[0007] Embodiments of the present invention provide compositions,
kits, and methods useful in the detection and screening of prostate
cancer. Experiments conducted during the course of development of
embodiments of the present invention identified upreguation of
non-coding RNAs in prostate cancer. Some embodiments of the present
invention provide compositions and methods for detecting expression
levels of such ncRNAs. Identification of ncRNAs finds use in
screening, diagnostic and research uses.
[0008] For example, in some embodiments, the present invention
provides a method of screening for the presence of prostate cancer
in a subject, comprising contacting a biological sample from a
subject with a reagent for detecting the level of expression of one
or more non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) (e.g., PCAT1, PCAT14, PCAT43 and
PCAT 109); and detecting the level of expression of the ncRNA in
the sample, for example, using an in vitro assay, wherein an
increased level of expression of the ncRNA in the sample (e.g.,
relative to the level in normal prostate cells, increase in level
relative to a prior time point, increase relative to a
pre-established threshold level, etc.) is indicative of prostate
cancer in the subject. In some embodiments, the ncRNAs are
described by SEQ ID NOs: 1-9. In some embodiments, the sample is
tissue, blood, plasma, serum, urine, urine supernatant, urine cell
pellet, semen, prostatic secretions or prostate cells. In some
embodiments, the detection is carried out utilizing a sequencing
technique, a nucleic acid hybridization technique, a nucleic acid
amplification technique, or an immunoassay. However, the invention
is not limited to the technique employed. In some embodiments, the
nucleic acid amplification technique is polymerase chain reaction,
reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction,
transcription-mediated amplification, ligase chain reaction, strand
displacement amplification or nucleic acid sequence based
amplification. In some embodiments, the prostate cancer is
localized prostate cancer or metastatic prostate cancer. In some
embodiments, the reagent is a pair of amplification
oligonucleotides or an oligonucleotide probe.
[0009] Additional embodiments provide a method of screening for the
presence of prostate cancer in a subject, comprising contacting a
biological sample from a subject with a reagent for detecting the
level of expression of two or more (e.g., 10 or more, 25 or more,
50 or more, 100 or more or all 121) non-coding RNAs (ncRNA)
selected from, for example, PCAT1, PCAT2, PCAT3, PCAT4, PCAT5,

detecting the level of expression of the ncRNA in the sample, for
example, using an in vitro assay, wherein an increased level of
expression of the ncRNA in the sample (e.g., relative to the level
in normal breast cells, increase in level relative to a prior time
point, increase relative to a pre-established threshold level,
etc.) is indicative of breast cancer in the subject.
[0013] In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method
for screening for the presence of pancreatic cancer in a subject,
comprising contacting a biological sample from a subject with a
reagent for detecting the level of expression of one or more
non-coding RNAs (e.g., TU0009141, TU0062051, or TU0021861); and
detecting the level of expression of the ncRNA in the sample, for
example, using an in vitro assay, wherein an increased level of
expression of the ncRNA in the sample (e.g., relative to the level
in normal pancreatic cells, increase in level relative to a prior
time point, increase relative to a pre-established threshold level,
etc.) is indicative of pancreatic cancer in the subject.
[0014] Additional embodiments are described herein.

cancer cells to treatment with PARP-1 inhibitors. (a-d) treatment
with the PARP1 inhibitor olaparib, (e-h) treatment with the PARP1
inhibitor ABT-888. Stable PCAT-1 knockdown in LNCAP prostate cells
reduces sensitivity to olaparib (a) and ABT-888 (e). Stable
overexpression in Du145 prostate cancer and RWPE benign prostate

nuclear in its localization. (d) Expression of SChLAP-1 in a cohort
of prostate cancer and benign tissues indicates that SChLAP-1 is a
prostate cancer outlier associated with cancers.
[0047] FIG. 32 shows that SChLAP-1 is required for prostate cancer
cell invasion and proliferation. (a) Prostate and non-prostate
cancer cell lines were treated with SChLAP-1 siRNAs. (b and c) As
in (a), prostate and non-prostate cell lines were assayed for cell

DEFINITIONS
[0055] To facilitate an understanding of the present invention, a
number of terms and phrases are defined below:
[0056] As used herein, the terms "detect", "detecting" or
"detection" may describe either the general act of discovering or
discerning or the specific observation of a detectably labeled
composition.
[0057] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to any organisms
that are screened using the diagnostic methods described herein.
Such organisms preferably include, but are not limited to, mammals
(e.g., murines, simians, equines, bovines, porcines, canines,
felines, and the like), and most preferably includes humans.
[0058] The term "diagnosed," as used herein, refers to the
recognition of a disease by its signs and symptoms, or genetic
analysis, pathological analysis, histological analysis, and the
like.
[0059] A "subject suspected of having cancer" encompasses an
individual who has received an initial diagnosis (e.g., a CT scan
showing a mass or increased PSA level) but for whom the stage of
cancer or presence or absence of ncRNAs indicative of cancer is not
known. The term further includes people who once had cancer (e.g.,
an individual in remission). In some embodiments, "subjects" are
control subjects that are suspected of having cancer or diagnosed
with cancer.
[0060] As used herein, the term "characterizing cancer in a
subject" refers to the identification of one or more properties of
a cancer sample in a subject, including but not limited to, the
presence of benign, pre-cancerous or cancerous tissue, the stage of
the cancer, and the subject's prognosis. Cancers may be
characterized by the identification of the expression of one or
more cancer marker genes, including but not limited to, the ncRNAs
disclosed herein.
[0061] As used herein, the term "characterizing prostate tissue in
a subject" refers to the identification of one or more properties
of a prostate tissue sample (e.g., including but not limited to,
the presence of cancerous tissue, the presence or absence of
ncRNAs, the presence of pre-cancerous tissue that is likely to
become cancerous, and the presence of cancerous tissue that is
likely to metastasize). In some embodiments, tissues are
characterized by the identification of the expression of one or
more cancer marker genes, including but not limited to, the cancer
markers disclosed herein.
[0062] As used herein, the term "stage of cancer" refers to a
qualitative or quantitative assessment of the level of advancement
of a cancer. Criteria used to determine the stage of a cancer
include, but are not limited to, the size of the tumor and the
extent of metastases (e.g., localized or distant).
[0063] As used herein, the term "nucleic acid molecule" refers to
any nucleic acid containing molecule, including but not limited to,
DNA or RNA. The term encompasses sequences that include any of the
known base analogs of DNA and RNA including, but not limited to,
4-acetylcytosine, 8-hydroxy-N6-methyladenosine, aziridinylcytosine,
pseudoisocytosine, 5-(carboxyhydroxylmethyl) uracil,
5-fluorouracil, 5-bromouracil,
5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2-thiouracil,

N-uracil-5-oxyacetic acid methylester, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid,
pseudouracil, queosine, 2-thiocytosine, and 2,6-diaminopurine.
[0064] The term "gene" refers to a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA)
sequence that comprises coding sequences necessary for the
production of a polypeptide, precursor, or RNA (e.g., rRNA, tRNA).
The polypeptide can be encoded by a full length coding sequence or
by any portion of the coding sequence so long as the desired
activity or functional properties (e.g., enzymatic activity, ligand
binding, signal transduction, immunogenicity, etc.) of the
full-length or fragments are retained. The term also encompasses
the coding region of a structural gene and the sequences located
adjacent to the coding region on both the 5' and 3' ends for a
distance of about 1 kb or more on either end such that the gene
corresponds to the length of the full-length mRNA. Sequences
located 5' of the coding region and present on the mRNA are
referred to as 5' non-translated sequences. Sequences located 3' or
downstream of the coding region and present on the mRNA are
referred to as 3' non-translated sequences. The term "gene"
encompasses both cDNA and genomic forms of a gene. A genomic form
or clone of a gene contains the coding region interrupted with
non-coding sequences termed "introns" or "intervening regions" or
"intervening sequences." Introns are segments of a gene that are
transcribed into nuclear RNA (hnRNA); introns may contain
regulatory elements such as enhancers. Introns are removed or
"spliced out" from the nuclear or primary transcript; introns
therefore are absent in the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript. The
mRNA functions during translation to specify the sequence or order
of amino acids in a nascent polypeptide.
[0065] As used herein, the term "oligonucleotide," refers to a
short length of single-stranded polynucleotide chain.
Oligonucleotides are typically less than 200 residues long (e.g.,
between 15 and 100), however, as used herein, the term is also
intended to encompass longer polynucleotide chains.
Oligonucleotides are often referred to by their length. For example
a 24 residue oligonucleotide is referred to as a "24-mer".
Oligonucleotides can form secondary and tertiary structures by
self-hybridizing or by hybridizing to other polynucleotides. Such
structures can include, but are not limited to, duplexes, hairpins,
cruciforms, bends, and triplexes.
[0066] As used herein, the terms "complementary" or
"complementarity" are used in reference to polynucleotides (i.e., a
sequence of nucleotides) related by the base-pairing rules. For
example, the sequence "5'-A-G-T-3'," is complementary to the
sequence "3'-T-C-A-5'." Complementarity may be "partial," in which
only some of the nucleic acids' bases are matched according to the
base pairing rules. Or, there may be "complete" or "total"
complementarity between the nucleic acids. The degree of
complementarity between nucleic acid strands has significant
effects on the efficiency and strength of hybridization between
nucleic acid strands. This is of particular importance in
amplification reactions, as well as detection methods that depend
upon binding between nucleic acids.
[0067] The term "homology" refers to a degree of complementarity.
There may be partial homology or complete homology (i.e.,
identity). A partially complementary sequence is a nucleic acid
molecule that at least partially inhibits a completely
complementary nucleic acid molecule from hybridizing to a target
nucleic acid is "substantially homologous." The inhibition of
hybridization of the completely complementary sequence to the
target sequence may be examined using a hybridization assay
(Southern or Northern blot, solution hybridization and the like)
under conditions of low stringency. A substantially homologous
sequence or probe will compete for and inhibit the binding (i.e.,
the hybridization) of a completely homologous nucleic acid molecule
to a target under conditions of low stringency. This is not to say
that conditions of low stringency are such that non-specific
binding is permitted; low stringency conditions require that the
binding of two sequences to one another be a specific (i.e.,
selective) interaction. The absence of non-specific binding may be
tested by the use of a second target that is substantially
non-complementary (e.g., less than about 30% identity); in the
absence of non-specific binding the probe will not hybridize to the
second non-complementary target.
[0068] As used herein, the term "hybridization" is used in
reference to the pairing of complementary nucleic acids.
Hybridization and the strength of hybridization (i.e., the strength
of the association between the nucleic acids) is impacted by such
factors as the degree of complementary between the nucleic acids,
stringency of the conditions involved, the T.sub.m of the formed
hybrid, and the G:C ratio within the nucleic acids. A single
molecule that contains pairing of complementary nucleic acids
within its structure is said to be "self-hybridized."
[0069] As used herein the term "stringency" is used in reference to
the conditions of temperature, ionic strength, and the presence of
other compounds such as organic solvents, under which nucleic acid
hybridizations are conducted. Under "low stringency conditions" a
nucleic acid sequence of interest will hybridize to its exact
complement, sequences with single base mismatches, closely related
sequences (e.g., sequences with 90% or greater homology), and
sequences having only partial homology (e.g., sequences with 50-90%
homology). Under `medium stringency conditions," a nucleic acid
sequence of interest will hybridize only to its exact complement,
sequences with single base mismatches, and closely relation
sequences (e.g., 90% or greater homology). Under "high stringency
conditions," a nucleic acid sequence of interest will hybridize
only to its exact complement, and (depending on conditions such a
temperature) sequences with single base mismatches. In other words,
under conditions of high stringency the temperature can be raised
so as to exclude hybridization to sequences with single base
mismatches.
[0070] The term "isolated" when used in relation to a nucleic acid,
as in "an isolated oligonucleotide" or "isolated polynucleotide"
refers to a nucleic acid sequence that is identified and separated
from at least one component or contaminant with which it is
ordinarily associated in its natural source. Isolated nucleic acid
is such present in a form or setting that is different from that in
which it is found in nature. In contrast, non-isolated nucleic
acids as nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA found in the state they
exist in nature. For example, a given DNA sequence (e.g., a gene)
is found on the host cell chromosome in proximity to neighboring
genes; RNA sequences, such as a specific mRNA sequence encoding a
specific protein, are found in the cell as a mixture with numerous
other mRNAs that encode a multitude of proteins. However, isolated
nucleic acid encoding a given protein includes, by way of example,
such nucleic acid in cells ordinarily expressing the given protein
where the nucleic acid is in a chromosomal location different from
that of natural cells, or is otherwise flanked by a different
nucleic acid sequence than that found in nature. The isolated
nucleic acid, oligonucleotide, or polynucleotide may be present in
single-stranded or double-stranded form. When an isolated nucleic
acid, oligonucleotide or polynucleotide is to be utilized to
express a protein, the oligonucleotide or polynucleotide will
contain at a minimum the sense or coding strand (i.e., the
oligonucleotide or polynucleotide may be single-stranded), but may
contain both the sense and anti-sense strands (i.e., the
oligonucleotide or polynucleotide may be double-stranded).
[0071] As used herein, the term "purified" or "to purify" refers to
the removal of components (e.g., contaminants) from a sample. For
example, antibodies are purified by removal of contaminating
non-immunoglobulin proteins; they are also purified by the removal
of immunoglobulin that does not bind to the target molecule. The
removal of non-immunoglobulin proteins and/or the removal of
immunoglobulins that do not bind to the target molecule results in
an increase in the percent of target-reactive immunoglobulins in
the sample. In another example, recombinant polypeptides are
expressed in bacterial host cells and the polypeptides are purified
by the removal of host cell proteins; the percent of recombinant
polypeptides is thereby increased in the sample.
[0072] As used herein, the term "sample" is used in its broadest
sense. In one sense, it is meant to include a specimen or culture
obtained from any source, as well as biological and environmental
samples. Biological samples may be obtained from animals (including
humans) and encompass fluids, solids, tissues, and gases.
Biological samples include blood products, such as plasma, serum
and the like. Such examples are not however to be construed as
limiting the sample types applicable to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0073] The present invention relates to compositions and methods
for cancer diagnosis, research and therapy, including but not
limited to, cancer markers. In particular, the present invention
relates to ncRNAs as diagnostic markers and clinical targets for
prostate, lung, breast and pancreatic cancer.
[0074] Experiments conducted during the development of embodiments
of the present invention utilized RNA-Seq analyses of tissue
samples and ab initio transcriptome assembly to predict the
complete polyA+ transcriptome of prostate cancer. 6,144 novel
ncRNAs found in prostate cancer were identified, including 121
ncRNAs that associated with disease progression (FIGS. 1, 2, 16 and
25). These data demonstrate the global utility of RNA-Seq in
defining functionally-important elements of the genome.
[0075] The present invention is not limited to a particular
mechanism. Indeed, an understanding of the mechanism is not
necessary to practice the present invention. Nonetheless, although
the biological role of these RNAs, especially the
differentially-expressed ones, is not yet known, these results
indicate a model in which specific intergenic loci are activated in
prostate cancer, enabling the transcription of numerous
disease-specific and tissue-specific ncRNAs (FIG. 5g). Clinically,
these ncRNA signatures are suitable for urine-based assays to
detect and diagnose prostate cancer in a non-invasive manner (See
e.g., Example 1). It is further contemplated that specific ncRNA
signatures occur universally in all disease states and applying
these methodologies to other diseases reveals clinically important
biomarkers, particularly for diseases that currently lack good
protein biomarkers.
[0076] While traditional approaches have focused on the annotated
reference genome, data generated during the course of development
of embodiments of the present invention implicate large swaths of
unannotated genomic loci in prostate cancer progression and
prostate-specific expression. One example of this is the SChLAP1
locus, which represents a >500 kb stretch of coordinately
regulated expression, and the chr8q24 locus, which contains a
prostate specific region with the prostate cancer biomarker PCAT-1.
The fact that the SChLAP1 locus is almost exclusively expressed in
prostate cancers harboring an ETS gene fusion further confirms the
capacity of ncRNAs to identify patient disease subtypes. In
addition, these analyses reveal novel cancer-specific drivers of
tumorigenesis. For example, the long ncRNA HOTAIR is known to
direct cancer-promoting roles for EZH2 in breast cancer (Gupta et
al., Nature 464 (7291), 1071 (2010)), while in the PC3 prostate
cancer cell line a similar role has been proposed for the ANRIL
ncRNA (Yap et al., Mol Cell 38 (5), 662 (2010)).
I. Diagnostic and Screening Methods
[0077] As described above, embodiments of the present invention
provide diagnostic and screening methods that utilize the detection
of ncRNAs (e.g., PCAT-1, PCAT-14, PCAT-43 and PCAT-109; SEQ ID NOs:
1-9). Exemplary, non-limiting methods are described below.
[0078] Any patient sample suspected of containing the ncRNAs may be
tested according to methods of embodiments of the present
invention. By way of non-limiting examples, the sample may be
tissue (e.g., a prostate biopsy sample or a tissue sample obtained
by prostatectomy), blood, urine, semen, prostatic secretions or a
fraction thereof (e.g., plasma, serum, urine supernatant, urine
cell pellet or prostate cells). A urine sample is preferably
collected immediately following an attentive digital rectal
examination (DRE), which causes prostate cells from the prostate
gland to shed into the urinary tract.
[0079] In some embodiments, the patient sample is subjected to
preliminary processing designed to isolate or enrich the sample for
the ncRNAs or cells that contain the ncRNAs. A variety of
techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art may be used
for this purpose, including but not limited to: centrifugation;
immunocapture; cell lysis; and, nucleic acid target capture (See,
e.g., EP Pat. No. 1 409 727, herein incorporated by reference in
its entirety).
[0080] The ncRNAs may be detected along with other markers in a
multiplex or panel format. Markers are selected for their
predictive value alone or in combination with the gene fusions.
Exemplary prostate cancer markers include, but are not limited to:
AMACR/P504S (U.S. Pat. No. 6,262,245); PCA3 (U.S. Pat. No.
7,008,765); PCGEM1 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,828,429); prostein/P501S,

No. 20030185830); RAS/KRAS (Bos, Cancer Res. 49:4682-89 (1989);
Kranenburg, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1756:81-82 (2005)); and,
those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,854,206 and 6,034,218,
7,229,774, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety. Markers for other cancers, diseases, infections, and
metabolic conditions are also contemplated for inclusion in a
multiplex or panel format.

to detected multiple markers in combination. For example, in some
embodiments, the level of expression of two or more (e.g., 10 or
more, 25 or more, 50 or more, 100 or more or all 121) non-coding
RNAs (ncRNA) selected from, for example, PCAT1, PCAT2, PCAT3,
PCAT4, PCAT5, PCAT6, PCAT7, PCAT8, PCAT9, PCAT10, PCAT11, PCAT12,
PCAT13, PCAT14, PCAT15, PCAT16, PCAT17, PCAT18, PCAT19, PCAT20,
PCAT21, PCAT22, PCAT23, PCAT24, PCAT25, PCAT26, PCAT27, PCAT28,
PCAT29, PCAT30, PCAT31, PCAT32, PCAT33, PCAT34, PCAT35, PCAT36,
PCAT37, PCAT38, PCAT39, PCAT40, PCAT41, PCAT42, PCAT43, PCAT44,

PCAT53, PCAT54, PCAT55, PCAT56, PCAT57, PCAT58, PCAT59, PCAT60,
PCAT61, PCAT62, PCAT63, PCAT64, PCAT65, PCAT66, PCAT67, PCAT68,
PCAT69, PCAT70, PCAT71, PCAT72, PCAT73, PCAT74, PCAT75, PCAT76,
PCAT77, PCAT78, PCAT79, PCAT80, PCAT81, PCAT82, PCAT83, PCAT84,
PCAT85, PCAT86, PCAT87, PCAT88, PCAT89, PCAT90, PCAT91, PCAT92,
PCAT93, PCAT94, PCAT95, PCAT96, PCAT97, PCAT98, PCAT99, PCAT100,
PCAT101, PCAT102, PCAT103, PCAT104, PCAT105, PCAT106, PCAT107,

utilized in the research, screening, diagnostic and prognositic
compositions and methods described herein.
[0082] i. DNA and RNA Detection
[0083] The ncRNAs of the present invention are detected using a
variety of nucleic acid techniques known to those of ordinary skill
in the art, including but not limited to: nucleic acid sequencing;
nucleic acid hybridization; and, nucleic acid amplification.
[0084] 1. Sequencing
[0085] Illustrative non-limiting examples of nucleic acid
sequencing techniques include, but are not limited to, chain
terminator (Sanger) sequencing and dye terminator sequencing. Those
of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that because RNA is
less stable in the cell and more prone to nuclease attack
experimentally RNA is usually reverse transcribed to DNA before
sequencing.
[0086] Chain terminator sequencing uses sequence-specific
termination of a DNA synthesis reaction using modified nucleotide
substrates. Extension is initiated at a specific site on the
template DNA by using a short radioactive, or other labeled,
oligonucleotide primer complementary to the template at that
region. The oligonucleotide primer is extended using a DNA
polymerase, standard four deoxynucleotide bases, and a low
concentration of one chain terminating nucleotide, most commonly a
di-deoxynucleotide. This reaction is repeated in four separate
tubes with each of the bases taking turns as the
di-deoxynucleotide. Limited incorporation of the chain terminating
nucleotide by the DNA polymerase results in a series of related DNA
fragments that are terminated only at positions where that
particular di-deoxynucleotide is used. For each reaction tube, the
fragments are size-separated by electrophoresis in a slab
polyacrylamide gel or a capillary tube filled with a viscous
polymer. The sequence is determined by reading which lane produces
a visualized mark from the labeled primer as you scan from the top
of the gel to the bottom.
[0087] Dye terminator sequencing alternatively labels the
terminators. Complete sequencing can be performed in a single
reaction by labeling each of the di-deoxynucleotide
chain-terminators with a separate fluorescent dye, which fluoresces
at a different wavelength.
[0088] A variety of nucleic acid sequencing methods are
contemplated for use in the methods of the present disclosure
including, for example, chain terminator (Sanger) sequencing, dye
terminator sequencing, and high-throughput sequencing methods. Many
of these sequencing methods are well known in the art. See, e.g.,
Sanger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:5463-5467 (1997);
Maxam et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:560-564 (1977);

of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0089] 2. Hybridization
[0090] Illustrative non-limiting examples of nucleic acid
hybridization techniques include, but are not limited to, in situ
hybridization (ISH), microarray, and Southern or Northern blot. In
situ hybridization (ISH) is a type of hybridization that uses a
labeled complementary DNA or RNA strand as a probe to localize a
specific DNA or RNA sequence in a portion or section of tissue (in
situ), or, if the tissue is small enough, the entire tissue (whole
mount ISH). DNA ISH can be used to determine the structure of
chromosomes. RNA ISH is used to measure and localize mRNAs and
other transcripts (e.g., ncRNAs) within tissue sections or whole
mounts. Sample cells and tissues are usually treated to fix the
target transcripts in place and to increase access of the probe.
The probe hybridizes to the target sequence at elevated
temperature, and then the excess probe is washed away. The probe
that was labeled with either radio-, fluorescent- or
antigen-labeled bases is localized and quantitated in the tissue
using either autoradiography, fluorescence microscopy or
immunohistochemistry, respectively. ISH can also use two or more
probes, labeled with radioactivity or the other non-radioactive
labels, to simultaneously detect two or more transcripts.
[0091] In some embodiments, ncRNAs are detected using fluorescence
in situ hybridization (FISH). In some embodiments, FISH assays
utilize bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs). These have been
used extensively in the human genome sequencing project (see Nature
409: 953-958 (2001)) and clones containing specific BACs are
available through distributors that can be located through many
sources, e.g., NCBI. Each BAC clone from the human genome has been
given a reference name that unambiguously identifies it. These
names can be used to find a corresponding GenBank sequence and to
order copies of the clone from a distributor.
[0092] The present invention further provides a method of
performing a FISH assay on human prostate cells, human prostate
tissue or on the fluid surrounding said human prostate cells or
human prostate tissue. Specific protocols are well known in the art
and can be readily adapted for the present invention. Guidance
regarding methodology may be obtained from many references
including: In situ Hybridization: Medical Applications (eds. G. R.
Coulton and J. de Belleroche), Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston
(1992); In situ Hybridization: In Neurobiology; Advances in
Methodology (eds. J. H. Eberwine, K. L. Valentino, and J. D.
Barchas), Oxford University Press Inc., England (1994); In situ
Hybridization: A Practical Approach (ed. D. G. Wilkinson), Oxford
University Press Inc., England (1992)); Kuo, et al., Am. J. Hum.
Genet. 49:112-119 (1991); Klinger, et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet.
51:55-65 (1992); and Ward, et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet. 52:854-865
(1993)). There are also kits that are commercially available and
that provide protocols for performing FISH assays (available from
e.g., Oncor, Inc., Gaithersburg, Md.). Patents providing guidance
on methodology include U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,326; 5,545,524;
6,121,489 and 6,573,043. All of these references are hereby
incorporated by reference in their entirety and may be used along
with similar references in the art and with the information
provided in the Examples section herein to establish procedural
steps convenient for a particular laboratory.
[0093] 3. Microarrays
[0094] Different kinds of biological assays are called microarrays
including, but not limited to: DNA microarrays (e.g., cDNA
microarrays and oligonucleotide microarrays); protein microarrays;
tissue microarrays; transfection or cell microarrays; chemical
compound microarrays; and, antibody microarrays. A DNA microarray,
commonly known as gene chip, DNA chip, or biochip, is a collection
of microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid surface (e.g., glass,
plastic or silicon chip) forming an array for the purpose of
expression profiling or monitoring expression levels for thousands
of genes simultaneously. The affixed DNA segments are known as
probes, thousands of which can be used in a single DNA microarray.
Microarrays can be used to identify disease genes or transcripts
(e.g., ncRNAs) by comparing gene expression in disease and normal
cells. Microarrays can be fabricated using a variety of
technologies, including but not limiting: printing with
fine-pointed pins onto glass slides; photolithography using
pre-made masks; photolithography using dynamic micromirror devices;
ink-jet printing; or, electrochemistry on microelectrode
arrays.
[0095] Southern and Northern blotting is used to detect specific
DNA or RNA sequences, respectively. DNA or RNA extracted from a
sample is fragmented, electrophoretically separated on a matrix
gel, and transferred to a membrane filter. The filter bound DNA or
RNA is subject to hybridization with a labeled probe complementary
to the sequence of interest. Hybridized probe bound to the filter
is detected. A variant of the procedure is the reverse Northern
blot, in which the substrate nucleic acid that is affixed to the
membrane is a collection of isolated DNA fragments and the probe is
RNA extracted from a tissue and labeled.
[0096] 3. Amplification
[0097] Nucleic acids (e.g., ncRNAs) may be amplified prior to or
simultaneous with detection. Illustrative non-limiting examples of
nucleic acid amplification techniques include, but are not limited
to, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcription
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), transcription-mediated
amplification (TMA), ligase chain reaction (LCR), strand
displacement amplification (SDA), and nucleic acid sequence based
amplification (NASBA). Those of ordinary skill in the art will
recognize that certain amplification techniques (e.g., PCR) require
that RNA be reversed transcribed to DNA prior to amplification
(e.g., RT-PCR), whereas other amplification techniques directly
amplify RNA (e.g., TMA and NASBA).
[0098] The polymerase chain reaction (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,195,
4,683,202, 4,800,159 and 4,965,188, each of which is herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety), commonly referred to as
PCR, uses multiple cycles of denaturation, annealing of primer
pairs to opposite strands, and primer extension to exponentially
increase copy numbers of a target nucleic acid sequence. In a
variation called RT-PCR, reverse transcriptase (RT) is used to make
a complementary DNA (cDNA) from mRNA, and the cDNA is then
amplified by PCR to produce multiple copies of DNA. For other
various permutations of PCR see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,195,
4,683,202 and 4,800,159; Mullis et al., Meth. Enzymol. 155: 335
(1987); and, Murakawa et al., DNA 7: 287 (1988), each of which is
herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0099] Transcription mediated amplification (U.S. Pat. Nos.
5,480,784 and 5,399,491, each of which is herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety), commonly referred to as TMA,
synthesizes multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence
autocatalytically under conditions of substantially constant
temperature, ionic strength, and pH in which multiple RNA copies of
the target sequence autocatalytically generate additional copies.
See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,399,491 and 5,824,518, each of which is
herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. In a variation
described in U.S. Publ. No. 20060046265 (herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety), TMA optionally incorporates the use of
blocking moieties, terminating moieties, and other modifying
moieties to improve TMA process sensitivity and accuracy.
[0100] The ligase chain reaction (Weiss, R., Science 254: 1292
(1991), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety), commonly
referred to as LCR, uses two sets of complementary DNA
oligonucleotides that hybridize to adjacent regions of the target
nucleic acid. The DNA oligonucleotides are covalently linked by a
DNA ligase in repeated cycles of thermal denaturation,
hybridization and ligation to produce a detectable double-stranded
ligated oligonucleotide product.
Strand displacement amplification (Walker, G. et al., Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 89: 392-396 (1992); U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,270,184 and
5,455,166, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety), commonly referred to as SDA, uses cycles of annealing
pairs of primer sequences to opposite strands of a target sequence,
primer extension in the presence of a dNTPaS to produce a duplex
hemiphosphorothioated primer extension product,
endonuclease-mediated nicking of a hemimodified restriction
endonuclease recognition site, and polymerase-mediated primer
extension from the 3' end of the nick to displace an existing
strand and produce a strand for the next round of primer annealing,
nicking and strand displacement, resulting in geometric
amplification of product. Thermophilic SDA (tSDA) uses thermophilic
endonucleases and polymerases at higher temperatures in essentially
the same method (EP Pat. No. 0 684 315).
[0101] Other amplification methods include, for example: nucleic
acid sequence based amplification (U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,238, herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety), commonly referred to as
NASBA; one that uses an RNA replicase to amplify the probe molecule
itself (Lizardi et al., BioTechnol. 6: 1197 (1988), herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety), commonly referred to as
Q.beta. replicase; a transcription based amplification method (Kwoh
et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:1173 (1989)); and,
self-sustained sequence replication (Guatelli et al., Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 87: 1874 (1990), each of which is herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety). For further discussion
of known amplification methods see Persing, David H., "In Vitro
Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques" in Diagnostic Medical
Microbiology: Principles and Applications (Persing et al., Eds.),
pp. 51-87 (American Society for Microbiology, Washington, D.C.
(1993)).
[0102] 4. Detection Methods
[0103] Non-amplified or amplified nucleic acids can be detected by
any conventional means. For example, the ncRNAs can be detected by
hybridization with a detectably labeled probe and measurement of
the resulting hybrids. Illustrative non-limiting examples of
detection methods are described below.
[0104] One illustrative detection method, the Hybridization
Protection Assay (HPA) involves hybridizing a chemiluminescent
oligonucleotide probe (e.g., an acridinium ester-labeled (AE)
probe) to the target sequence, selectively hydrolyzing the
chemiluminescent label present on unhybridized probe, and measuring
the chemiluminescence produced from the remaining probe in a
luminometer. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,283,174 and Norman C.
Nelson et al., Nonisotopic Probing, Blotting, and Sequencing, ch.
17 (Larry J. Kricka ed., 2d ed. 1995, each of which is herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0105] Another illustrative detection method provides for
quantitative evaluation of the amplification process in real-time.
Evaluation of an amplification process in "real-time" involves
determining the amount of amplicon in the reaction mixture either
continuously or periodically during the amplification reaction, and
using the determined values to calculate the amount of target
sequence initially present in the sample. A variety of methods for
determining the amount of initial target sequence present in a
sample based on real-time amplification are well known in the art.
These include methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,303,305 and
6,541,205, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety. Another method for determining the quantity of target
sequence initially present in a sample, but which is not based on a
real-time amplification, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,710,029,
herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0106] Amplification products may be detected in real-time through
the use of various self-hybridizing probes, most of which have a
stem-loop structure. Such self-hybridizing probes are labeled so
that they emit differently detectable signals, depending on whether
the probes are in a self-hybridized state or an altered state
through hybridization to a target sequence. By way of non-limiting
example, "molecular torches" are a type of self-hybridizing probe
that includes distinct regions of self-complementarity (referred to
as "the target binding domain" and "the target closing domain")
which are connected by a joining region (e.g., non-nucleotide
linker) and which hybridize to each other under predetermined
hybridization assay conditions. In a preferred embodiment,
molecular torches contain single-stranded base regions in the
target binding domain that are from 1 to about 20 bases in length
and are accessible for hybridization to a target sequence present
in an amplification reaction under strand displacement conditions.
Under strand displacement conditions, hybridization of the two
complementary regions, which may be fully or partially
complementary, of the molecular torch is favored, except in the
presence of the target sequence, which will bind to the
single-stranded region present in the target binding domain and
displace all or a portion of the target closing domain. The target
binding domain and the target closing domain of a molecular torch
include a detectable label or a pair of interacting labels (e.g.,
luminescent/quencher) positioned so that a different signal is
produced when the molecular torch is self-hybridized than when the
molecular torch is hybridized to the target sequence, thereby
permitting detection of probe:target duplexes in a test sample in
the presence of unhybridized molecular torches. Molecular torches
and a variety of types of interacting label pairs are disclosed in
U.S. Pat. No. 6,534,274, herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety.
[0107] Another example of a detection probe having
self-complementarity is a "molecular beacon." Molecular beacons
include nucleic acid molecules having a target complementary
sequence, an affinity pair (or nucleic acid arms) holding the probe
in a closed conformation in the absence of a target sequence
present in an amplification reaction, and a label pair that
interacts when the probe is in a closed conformation. Hybridization
of the target sequence and the target complementary sequence
separates the members of the affinity pair, thereby shifting the
probe to an open conformation. The shift to the open conformation
is detectable due to reduced interaction of the label pair, which
may be, for example, a fluorophore and a quencher (e.g., DABCYL and
EDANS). Molecular beacons are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,925,517
and 6,150,097, herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety.
[0108] Other self-hybridizing probes are well known to those of
ordinary skill in the art. By way of non-limiting example, probe
binding pairs having interacting labels, such as those disclosed in
U.S. Pat. No. 5,928,862 (herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety) might be adapted for use in the present invention. Probe
systems used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might
also be utilized in the present invention. Additional detection
systems include "molecular switches," as disclosed in U.S. Publ.
No. 20050042638, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Other probes, such as those comprising intercalating dyes and/or
fluorochromes, are also useful for detection of amplification
products in the present invention. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No.
5,814,447 (herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0109] ii. Data Analysis
[0110] In some embodiments, a computer-based analysis program is
used to translate the raw data generated by the detection assay
(e.g., the presence, absence, or amount of a given marker or
markers) into data of predictive value for a clinician. The
clinician can access the predictive data using any suitable means.
Thus, in some preferred embodiments, the present invention provides
the further benefit that the clinician, who is not likely to be
trained in genetics or molecular biology, need not understand the
raw data. The data is presented directly to the clinician in its
most useful form. The clinician is then able to immediately utilize
the information in order to optimize the care of the subject.
[0111] The present invention contemplates any method capable of
receiving, processing, and transmitting the information to and from
laboratories conducting the assays, information provides, medical
personal, and subjects. For example, in some embodiments of the
present invention, a sample (e.g., a biopsy or a serum or urine
sample) is obtained from a subject and submitted to a profiling
service (e.g., clinical lab at a medical facility, genomic
profiling business, etc.), located in any part of the world (e.g.,
in a country different than the country where the subject resides
or where the information is ultimately used) to generate raw data.
Where the sample comprises a tissue or other biological sample, the
subject may visit a medical center to have the sample obtained and
sent to the profiling center, or subjects may collect the sample
themselves (e.g., a urine sample) and directly send it to a
profiling center. Where the sample comprises previously determined
biological information, the information may be directly sent to the
profiling service by the subject (e.g., an information card
containing the information may be scanned by a computer and the
data transmitted to a computer of the profiling center using an
electronic communication systems). Once received by the profiling
service, the sample is processed and a profile is produced (i.e.,
expression data), specific for the diagnostic or prognostic
information desired for the subject.
[0112] The profile data is then prepared in a format suitable for
interpretation by a treating clinician. For example, rather than
providing raw expression data, the prepared format may represent a
diagnosis or risk assessment (e.g., presence or absence of a ncRNA)
for the subject, along with recommendations for particular
treatment options. The data may be displayed to the clinician by
any suitable method. For example, in some embodiments, the
profiling service generates a report that can be printed for the
clinician (e.g., at the point of care) or displayed to the
clinician on a computer monitor.
[0113] In some embodiments, the information is first analyzed at
the point of care or at a regional facility. The raw data is then
sent to a central processing facility for further analysis and/or
to convert the raw data to information useful for a clinician or
patient. The central processing facility provides the advantage of
privacy (all data is stored in a central facility with uniform
security protocols), speed, and uniformity of data analysis. The
central processing facility can then control the fate of the data
following treatment of the subject. For example, using an
electronic communication system, the central facility can provide
data to the clinician, the subject, or researchers.
[0114] In some embodiments, the subject is able to directly access
the data using the electronic communication system. The subject may
chose further intervention or counseling based on the results. In
some embodiments, the data is used for research use. For example,
the data may be used to further optimize the inclusion or
elimination of markers as useful indicators of a particular
condition or stage of disease or as a companion diagnostic to
determine a treatment course of action.
[0115] iiii. In Vivo Imaging
[0116] ncRNAs may also be detected using in vivo imaging
techniques, including but not limited to: radionuclide imaging;
positron emission tomography (PET); computerized axial tomography,
X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging method, fluorescence detection,
and chemiluminescent detection. In some embodiments, in vivo
imaging techniques are used to visualize the presence of or
expression of cancer markers in an animal (e.g., a human or
non-human mammal). For example, in some embodiments, cancer marker
mRNA or protein is labeled using a labeled antibody specific for
the cancer marker. A specifically bound and labeled antibody can be
detected in an individual using an in vivo imaging method,
including, but not limited to, radionuclide imaging, positron
emission tomography, computerized axial tomography, X-ray or
magnetic resonance imaging method, fluorescence detection, and
chemiluminescent detection. Methods for generating antibodies to
the cancer markers of the present invention are described
below.
[0117] The in vivo imaging methods of embodiments of the present
invention are useful in the identification of cancers that express
ncRNAs (e.g., prostate cancer). In vivo imaging is used to
visualize the presence or level of expression of a ncRNA. Such
techniques allow for diagnosis without the use of an unpleasant
biopsy. The in vivo imaging methods of embodiments of the present
invention can further be used to detect metastatic cancers in other
parts of the body.
[0118] In some embodiments, reagents (e.g., antibodies) specific
for the cancer markers of the present invention are fluorescently
labeled. The labeled antibodies are introduced into a subject
(e.g., orally or parenterally). Fluorescently labeled antibodies
are detected using any suitable method (e.g., using the apparatus
described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,198,107, herein incorporated by
reference).
[0119] In other embodiments, antibodies are radioactively labeled.
The use of antibodies for in vivo diagnosis is well known in the
art. Sumerdon et al., (Nucl. Med. Biol 17:247-254 [1990] have
described an optimized antibody-chelator for the
radioimmunoscintographic imaging of tumors using Indium-111 as the
label. Griffin et al., (J Clin Onc 9:631-640 [1991]) have described
the use of this agent in detecting tumors in patients suspected of
having recurrent colorectal cancer. The use of similar agents with
paramagnetic ions as labels for magnetic resonance imaging is known
in the art (Lauffer, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 22:339-342
[1991]). The label used will depend on the imaging modality chosen.
Radioactive labels such as Indium-111, Technetium-99m, or
Iodine-131 can be used for planar scans or single photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT). Positron emitting labels such as
Fluorine-19 can also be used for positron emission tomography
(PET). For MRI, paramagnetic ions such as Gadolinium (III) or
Manganese (II) can be used.
[0120] Radioactive metals with half-lives ranging from 1 hour to
3.5 days are available for conjugation to antibodies, such as
scandium-47 (3.5 days) gallium-67 (2.8 days), gallium-68 (68
minutes), technetiium-99m (6 hours), and indium-111 (3.2 days), of
which gallium-67, technetium-99m, and indium-111 are preferable for
gamma camera imaging, gallium-68 is preferable for positron
emission tomography.
[0121] A useful method of labeling antibodies with such radiometals
is by means of a bifunctional chelating agent, such as
diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), as described, for
example, by Khaw et al. (Science 209:295 [1980]) for In-111 and
Tc-99m, and by Scheinberg et al. (Science 215:1511 [1982]). Other
chelating agents may also be used, but the
1-(p-carboxymethoxybenzyl)EDTA and the carboxycarbonic anhydride of
DTPA are advantageous because their use permits conjugation without
affecting the antibody's immunoreactivity substantially.
[0122] Another method for coupling DPTA to proteins is by use of
the cyclic anhydride of DTPA, as described by Hnatowich et al.
(Int. J. Appl. Radiat. Isot. 33:327 [1982]) for labeling of albumin
with In-111, but which can be adapted for labeling of antibodies. A
suitable method of labeling antibodies with Tc-99m which does not
use chelation with DPTA is the pretinning method of Crockford et
al., (U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,546, herein incorporated by
reference).
[0123] A method of labeling immunoglobulins with Tc-99m is that
described by Wong et al. (Int. J. Appl. Radiat. Isot., 29:251
[1978]) for plasma protein, and recently applied successfully by
Wong et al. (J. Nucl. Med., 23:229 [1981]) for labeling
antibodies.
[0124] In the case of the radiometals conjugated to the specific
antibody, it is likewise desirable to introduce as high a
proportion of the radiolabel as possible into the antibody molecule
without destroying its immunospecificity. A further improvement may
be achieved by effecting radiolabeling in the presence of the
ncRNA, to insure that the antigen binding site on the antibody will
be protected. The antigen is separated after labeling.
[0125] In still further embodiments, in vivo biophotonic imaging
(Xenogen, Almeda, Calif.) is utilized for in vivo imaging. This
real-time in vivo imaging utilizes luciferase. The luciferase gene
is incorporated into cells, microorganisms, and animals (e.g., as a
fusion protein with a cancer marker of the present invention). When
active, it leads to a reaction that emits light. A CCD camera and
software is used to capture the image and analyze it.
[0126] iv. Compositions & Kits
[0127] Compositions for use in the diagnostic methods described
herein include, but are not limited to, probes, amplification
oligonucleotides, and the like.
[0128] The probe and antibody compositions of the present invention
may also be provided in the form of an array.
II. Drug Screening Applications
[0129] In some embodiments, the present invention provides drug
screening assays (e.g., to screen for anticancer drugs). The
screening methods of the present invention utilize ncRNAs. For
example, in some embodiments, the present invention provides
methods of screening for compounds that alter (e.g., decrease) the
expression or activity of ncRNAs. The compounds or agents may
interfere with transcription, by interacting, for example, with the
promoter region. The compounds or agents may interfere with mRNA
(e.g., by RNA interference, antisense technologies, etc.). The
compounds or agents may interfere with pathways that are upstream
or downstream of the biological activity of ncRNAs. In some
embodiments, candidate compounds are antisense or interfering RNA
agents (e.g., oligonucleotides) directed against ncRNAs. In other
embodiments, candidate compounds are antibodies or small molecules
that specifically bind to a ncRNAs regulator or expression products
inhibit its biological function.
[0130] In one screening method, candidate compounds are evaluated
for their ability to alter ncRNAs expression by contacting a
compound with a cell expressing a ncRNA and then assaying for the
effect of the candidate compounds on expression. In some
embodiments, the effect of candidate compounds on expression of
ncRNAs is assayed for by detecting the level ncRNA expressed by the
cell. mRNA expression can be detected by any suitable method.
EXPERIMENTAL
[0131] The following examples are provided in order to demonstrate
and further illustrate certain preferred embodiments and aspects of
the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the
scope thereof.
Example 1
A. Methods
[0132] Methods Summary
[0133] All prostate tissue samples were obtained from the
University of Michigan Specialized Program Of Research Excellence
(S.P.O.R.E.) using an IRB-approved informed consent protocol. Next
generation sequencing and library preparation was performed as
previously described (Maher et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106
(30), 12353 (2009)). Uniquely mapping sequencing reads were aligned
with TopHat and sequencing data for all samples was merged. Ab
initio transcriptome assembly was performed by aligning sequences
with TopHat and using uniquely mapped read positions to build
transcripts with Cufflinks. Informatics approaches were used to
refine the assembly and predict expressed transcriptional units.
Unannotated transcripts were nominated based upon their absence in
the UCSC, RefSeq, ENSEMBL, ENCODE, and Vega databases. Differential
expression was determined using the Significance Analysis of
Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (Tusher et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA
98 (9), 5116 (2001)) on log 2 mean expression in benign, cancer,
and metastatic samples. Cancer outlier profile analysis (COPA) was
performed as previously described (Tomlins et al., Science 310
(5748), 644 (2005)) with slight modifications. PCR experiments were
performed according to standard protocols, and RACE was performed
with the GeneRacer Kit (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's
instructions. ChIP-seq data was obtained from previously published
data (Yu et al., Cancer Cell 17 (5), 443). siRNA knockdown was
performed with custom siRNA oligos (Dharmacon) with Oligofectamine
(Invitrogen). Transmembrane invasion assays were performed with
Matrigel (BD Biosciences) and cell proliferation assays were
performed by cell count with a Coulter counter. Urine analyses were
performed as previously described (Laxman et al., Cancer Res 68
(3), 645 (2008)) with minor modifications.
[0134] Cell Lines and Tissues
[0135] The benign immortalized prostate cell line RWPE as well as
PC3, Du145, LNCaP, VCaP, 22Rv1, CWR22, C4-2B, NCI-660, MDA PCa 2b,
WPMY-1, and LAPC-4 prostate cell lines were obtained from the
American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, Va.). Benign
non-immortalized prostate epithelial cells (PrEC) and prostate
smooth muscle cells (PrSMC) were obtained from Lonza (Basel,
Switzerland). Cell lines were maintained using standard media and
conditions. For androgen treatment experiments, LNCaP and VCaP
cells were grown in androgen depleted media lacking phenol red and
supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped serum and 1%
penicillin-streptomycin. After 48 hours, cells were treated with 5
nM methyltrienolone (R1881, NEN Life Science Products) or an
equivalent volume of ethanol. Cells were harvested for RNA at 6,
24, and 48 hours post-treatment. Prostate tissues were obtained
from the radical prostatectomy series and Rapid Autopsy Program at
the University of Michigan tissue core. These programs are part of
the University of Michigan Prostate Cancer Specialized Program Of
Research Excellence (S.P.O.R.E.). All tissue samples were collected
with informed consent under an Institutional Review Board (IRB)
approved protocol at the University of Michigan.
[0136] PC3, Du145, LNCaP, 22Rv1, and CRW22 cells were grown in RPMI
1640 (Invitrogen) and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum
(FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. LNCaP CDS parent cells were
grown in RPMI 1640 lacking phenol red (Invitrogen) supplemented
with 10% charcoal-dextran stripped FBS (Invitrogen) and 1%
penicillin-streptomycin. LNCaP CDS 1, 2, and 3 are
androgen-independent subclones derived from extended cell culture
in androgendepleted media. VCaP and WPMY-1 cells were grown in DMEM
(Invitrogen) and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)
with 1% penicillin-streptomycin. NCI-H660 cells were grown in RPMI
1640 supplemented with 0.005 mg/ml insulin, 0.01 mg/ml
transferring, 30 nM sodium selenite, 10 nM hydrocortisone, 10 nM
beta-estradiol, 5% FBS and an extra 2 mM of L-glutamine (for a
final concentration of 4 mM). MDA PCa 2b cells were grown in F-12K
medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 20% FBS, 25 ng/ml cholera
toxin, 10 ng/ml EGF, 0.005 mM phosphoethanolamine, 100 pg/ml
hydrocortisone, 45 nM selenious acid, and 0.005 mg/ml insulin.
LAPC-4 cells were grown in Iscove's media (Invitrogen) supplemented
with 10% FBS and 1 nM R1881. C4-2B cells were grown in 80% DMEM
supplemented with 20% F12, 5% FBS, 3 g/L NaCo.sub.3, 5 .mu.g/ml
insulin, 13.6 pg/ml triiodothyonine, 5 .mu.g/ml transferrin, 0.25
.mu.g/ml biotin, and 25 .mu.g/ml adenine. PrEC cells were grown in
PrEGM supplemented with 2 ml BPE, 0.5 ml hydrocortisone, 0.5 ml
EGF, 0.5 ml epinephrine, 0.5 ml transferring, 0.5 ml insulin, 0.5
ml retinoic acid, and 0.5 ml triiodothyronine, as part of the PrEGM
BulletKit (Lonza). PrSMC cells were grown in SmGM-2 media
supplemented with 2 ml BPE, 0.5 ml hydrocortisone, 0.5 ml EGF, 0.5
ml epinephrine, 0.5 ml transferring, 0.5 ml insulin, 0.5 ml
retinoic acid, and 0.5 ml triiodothyronine, as part of the SmGM-2
BulletKit (Lonza).
[0137] RNA-Seq Library Preparation.
[0138] Next generation sequencing of RNA was performed on 21
prostate cell lines, 20 benign adjacent prostates, 47 localized
tumors, and 14 metastatic tumors according to Illumina's protocol
using 2 .mu.g of RNA. RNA integrity was measured using an Agilent
2100 Bioanalyzer, and only samples with a RIN score >7.0 were
advanced for library generation. RNA was poly-A+ selected using the
OligodT beads provided by Ilumina and fragmented with the Ambion
Fragmentation Reagents kit (Ambion, Austin, Tex.). cDNA synthesis,
end-repair, A-base addition, and ligation of the Illumina PCR
adaptors (single read or paired-end where appropriate) were
performed according to Illumina's protocol. Libraries were then
size-selected for 250-300 bp cDNA fragments on a 3.5% agarose gel
and PCR-amplified using Phusion DNA polymerase (Finnzymes) for
15-18 PCR cycles. PCR products were then purified on a 2% agarose
gel and gel-extracted. Library quality was credentialed by assaying
each library on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer of product size and
concentration. Libraries were sequenced as 36-45mers on an Illumina
Genome Analyzer I or Genome Analyzer II flowcell according to
Illumina's protocol. All single read samples were sequenced on a
Genome Analyzer I, and all paired-end samples were sequenced on a
Genome Analyzer II.
[0139] RNA Isolation and cDNA Synthesis
[0140] Total RNA was isolated using Trizol and an RNeasy Kit
(Invitrogen) with DNase I digestion according to the manufacturer's
instructions. RNA integrity was verified on an Agilent Bioanalyzer
2100 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, Calif.). cDNA was
synthesized from total RNA using Superscript III (Invitrogen) and
random primers (Invitrogen).
[0141] Quantitative Real-Time PCR
[0142] Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) was performed using Power
SYBR Green Mastermix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) on
an Applied Biosystems 7900HT Real-Time PCR System. All
oligonucleotide primers were obtained from Integrated DNA
Technologies (Coralville, Iowa) and are listed in Table 13. The
housekeeping gene, GAPDH, was used as a loading control. Fold
changes were calculated relative to GAPDH and normalized to the
median value of the benign samples.
[0143] Reverse-Transcription PCR
[0144] Reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was performed for primer
pairs using Platinum Taq High Fidelity polymerase (Invitrogen). PCR
products were resolved on a 2% agarose gel. PCR products were
either sequenced directly (if only a single product was observed)
or appropriate gel products were extracted using a Gel Extraction
kit (Qiagen) and cloned into pcr4-TOPO vectors (Invitrogen). PCR
products were bidirectionally sequenced at the University of
Michigan Sequencing Core using either gene-specific primers or M13
forward and reverse primers for cloned PCR products. All
oligonucleotide primers were obtained from Integrated DNA
Technologies (Coralville, Iowa) and are listed in Table 13.
[0145] RNA-Ligase-Mediated Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
(RACE)
[0146] 5' and 3' RACE was performed using the GeneRacer RLM-RACE
kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RACE
PCR products were obtained using Platinum Taq High Fidelity
polymerase (Invitrogen), the supplied GeneRacer primers, and
appropriate gene-specific primers indicated in Table 13. RACEPCR
products were separated on a 2% agarose gels. Gel products were
extracted with a Gel Extraction kit (Qiagen), cloned into pcr4-TOPO
vectors (Invitrogen), and sequenced bidirectionally using M13
forward and reverse primers at the University of Michigan
Sequencing Core. At least three colonies were sequenced for every
gel product that was purified.
[0147] Paired-End Next-Generation Sequencing of RNA
[0148] 2 .mu.g total RNA was selected for polyA+RNA using Sera-Mag
oligo(dT) beads (Thermo Scientific), and paired-end next-generation
sequencing libraries were prepared as previously described (Maher
et al., supra) using Illumina-supplied universal adaptor oligos and
PCR primers (Illumina). Samples were sequenced in a single lane on
an Illumina Genome Analyzer II flowcell using previously described
protocols (Maher et al., supra). 36-45 mer paired-end reads were
according to the protocol provided by Illumina.
[0149] siRNA Knockdown Studies
[0150] Cells were plated in 100 mM plates at a desired
concentration and transfected with 20 .mu.M experimental siRNA
oligos or non-targeting controls twice, at 12 hours and 36 hours
post-plating. Knockdowns were performed with Oligofectamine and
Optimem. Knockdown efficiency was determined by qPCR. 72 hours
post-transfection, cells were trypsinized, counted with a Coulter
counter, and diluted to 1 million cells/mL. For proliferation
assays, 200,000 cells were plated in 24-well plates and grown in
regular media. 48 and 96 hours post-plating, cells were harvested
and counted using a Coulter counter. For invasion assays, Matrigel
was diluted 1:4 in serum-free media and 100 .mu.L of the diluted
Matrigel was applied to a Boyden chamber transmembrane insert and
allowed to settle overnight at 37.degree. C. 200,000 cells
suspended in serum-free media were applied per insert and 500 .mu.L
of serum-containing media was placed in the bottom of the Boyden
(fetal bovine serum functioning as a chemoattractant). Cells were
allowed to invade for 48 hours, at which time inserts were removed
and noninvading cells and Matrigel were gently removed with a
cotton swab. Invading cells were stained with crystal violet for 15
minutes and air-dried. For colorimetric assays, the inserts were
treated with 200 .mu.l of 10% acetic acid and the absorbance at 560
nm was measured using a spectrophotometer. For WST-1 assays, 20,000
cells were plated into 96-well plates and grown in 100 .mu.L of
serum-containing media. 48 and 96 hours post-plating, cells were
measured for viability by adding 10 .mu.L of WST-1 reagent to the
cell media, incubating for 2 hours at 37.degree. C. and measuring
the absorbance at 450 nM using a spectrophotomer.
[0151] Urine qPCR
[0152] Urine samples were collected from 120 patients with informed
consent following a digital rectal exam before either needle biopsy
or radical prostatectomy at the University of Michigan with
Institutional Review Board approval as described previously (Laxman
et al., Cancer Res 68 (3), 645 (2008)). Isolation of RNA from urine
and TransPlex whole transcriptome amplification were performed as
described previously (Laxman et al., Neoplasia 8 (10), 885 (2006)).
qPCR on urine samples was performed for KLK3 (PSA), TMPRSS2-ERG,
GAPDH, PCA3, PCAT-1 and PCAT-14 using Power SYBR Mastermix (Applied
Biosystems) as described above. Raw Ct values were extracted and
normalized in the following manner. First, samples with GAPDH Ct
values >25 or KLK3 Ct values >30 were removed from analysis
to ensure sufficient prostate cell collection, leaving 10.sup.8
samples for analysis. The GAPDH and KLK3 raw Ct values were average
for each sample. .DELTA.Ct analysis was performed by measuring each
value against the average of CtGAPDH and CtKLK3, and .DELTA.Ct
values were normalized to the median .DELTA.Ct of the benign
samples. Fold change was then calculated at 2-.DELTA.Ct. Samples
were considered to be prostate cancer if histopathological analysis
observed cancer or if the TMPRSS2-ERG transcript achieved a Ct
value <37. Benign samples were defined as samples with normal
histology and TMPRSS2-ERG transcript Ct values >37.
[0153] Statistical Analyses for Experimental Studies
[0154] All data are presented as means.+-.s.e.m. All experimental
assays were performed in duplicate or triplicate.
[0155] Bioinformatics Analyses
[0156] To achieve an ab initio prediction of the prostate cancer
transcriptome existing publicly tools for mapping, assembly, and
quantification of transcripts were supplemented with additional
informatics filtering steps to enrich the results for the most
robust transcript predictions (FIG. 6a). Transcripts were then
identified and classified by comparing them against gene annotation
databases (FIG. 6b). Details of the bioinformatics analyses are
provided below.
[0157] Mapping Reads with TopHat
[0158] Reads were aligned using TopHat v1.0.13 (Feb. 5, 2010)
(Trapnell et al., Bioinformatics 25, 1105-11 (2009)), a gapped
aligner capable of discovering splice junctions ab initio. Briefly,
TopHat aligns reads to the human genome using Bowtie (Langmead et
al., Genome Biol 10, R25 (2009)) to determine a set of "coverage
islands" that may represent putative exons. TopHat uses these exons
as well as the presence of GT-AG genomic splicing motifs to build a
second set of reference sequences spanning exon-exon junctions. The
unmapped reads from the initial genome alignment step are then
remapped against this splice junction reference to discover all the
junction-spanning reads in the sample. TopHat outputs the reads
that successfully map to either the genome or the splice junction
reference in SAM format for further analysis. For this study a
maximum intron size of 500 kb, corresponding to over 99.98% of
RefSeq (Wheeler et al. Nucleic Acids Res 28, 10-4 (2000)) introns
was used. For sequencing libraries the insert size was determined
using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer prior to data analysis, and it
was found that this insert size agreed closely with software
predictions. An insert size standard deviation of 20 bases was
chosen in order to match the most common band size cut from gels
during library preparation. In total, 1.723 billion fragments were
generated from 201 lanes of sequencing on the Illumina Genome
Analyzer and Illumina Genome Analyzer II. Reads were mapped to the
human genome (hg18) downloaded from the UCSC genome browser website
(Karolchik et al., Nucleic Acids Res 31, 51-4 (2003); Kent et al.,
Genome Res 12, 996-1006 (2002)). 1.418 billion unique alignments
were obtained, including 114.4 million splice junctions for use in
transcriptome assembly. Reads with multiple alignments with less
than two mismatches were discarded.
[0159] Ab Initio Assembly and Quantification with Cufflinks
[0160] Aligned reads from TopHat were assembled into
sample-specific transcriptomes with Cufflinks version 0.8.2 (Mar.
26, 2010) (Trapnell et al., Nat Biotechnol 28, 511-5). Cufflinks
assembles exonic and splice-junction reads into transcripts using
their alignment coordinates. To limit false positive assemblies a
maximum intronic length of 300 kb, corresponding to the 99.93%
percentile of known introns was used. After assembling transcripts,
Cufflinks computes isoform-level abundances by finding a
parsimonious allocation of reads to the transcripts within a locus.
Transcripts with abundance less than 15% of the major transcript in
the locus, and minor isoforms with abundance less than 5% of the
major isoform were filtered. Default settings were used for the
remaining parameters.
[0161] The Cufflinks assembly stage yielded a set of transcript
annotations for each of the sequenced libraries. The transcripts
were partitioned by chromosome and the Cuffcompare utility provided
by Cufflinks was used to merge the transcripts into a combined set
of annotations. The Cuffcompare program performs a union of all
transcripts by merging transcripts that share all introns and
exons. The 5' and 3' exons of transcripts were allowed to vary by
up to 100 nt during the comparison process.
[0162] Distinguishing Transcripts from Background Signal
[0163] Cuffcompare reported a total of 8.25 million distinct
transcripts. Manual inspection of these transcripts in known
protein coding gene regions indicated that most of the transcripts
were likely to be poor quality reconstructions of overlapping
larger transcripts. Also, many of the transcripts were unspliced
and had a total length smaller than the size selected fragment
length of approximately .about.250 nt. Furthermore, many of these
transcripts were only present in a single sample. A statistical
classifier to predict transcripts over background signal was
designed to identify highly recurrent transcripts that may be
altered in prostate cancer. AceView (Thierry-Mieg et al. Genome
Biol 7 Suppl 1, S12 1-14 (2006)) were used. For each transcript
predicted by Cufflinks the following statistics were collected:
length (bp), number of exons, recurrence (number of samples in
which the transcript was predicted), 95th percentile of abundance
(measured in Fragments per Kilobase per Million reads (FPKM))
across all samples, and uniqueness of genomic DNA harboring the
transcript transcript (measured using the Rosetta uniqueness track
from UCSC (Rhead et al. 2010. Nucleic Acids Res 38, D613-9). Using
this information, recursive partitioning and regression trees in R
(package rpart) were used to predict, for each transcript, whether
its expression patterns and structural properties resembled those
of annotated genes. Classification was performed independently for
each chromosome in order to incorporate the effect of gene density
variability on expression thresholds. Transcripts that were not
classified as annotated genes were discarded, and the remainder
were subjected to additional analysis and filtering steps. By
examining the decision tree results it was observed that the 95th
percentile of expression across all samples as well as the
recurrence of each transcript were most frequently the best
predictors of expressed versus background transcripts (FIG. 7).
[0164] Refinement of Transcript Fragments
[0165] The statistical classifier predicted a total 2.88 million
(34.9%) transcript fragments as "expressed" transcripts. A program
was developed to extend and merge intron-redundant transcripts to
produce a minimum set of transcripts that describes the assemblies
produced by Cufflinks. The merging step produced a total of 123,554
independent transcripts. Tanscript abundance levels were
re-computed for these revised transcripts in Reads per Kilobase per
Million (RPKM) units. These expression levels were used for the
remainder of the study. Several additional filtering steps were
used to isolate the most robust transcripts. First, transcripts
with a total length less than 200 nt were discarded. Single exon
transcripts with greater than 75% overlap to another longer
transcript were also discarded. Transcripts that lacked a
completely unambiguous genomic DNA stretch of at least 40 nt were
also removed. Genomic uniqueness was measured using the Rosetta
uniqueness track downloaded from the UCSC genome browser website.
Transcripts that were not present in at least 5% of the cohort
(>5 samples) at more than 5.0 RPKM were retained.
[0166] In certain instances transcripts were observed that were
interrupted by poorly mappable genomic regions. Additionally, for
low abundance genes fragmentation due to the lack of splice
junction or paired-end read evidence needed to connect nearby
fragments were observed. The difference in the Pearson correlation
between expression of randomly chosen exons on the same transcript
versus expression of spatially proximal exons on different
transcripts was measured and it was found that in the cohort, a
Pearson correlation >0.8 had a positive predictive value (PPV)
of >95% for distinct exons to be part of the same transcript.
Using this criteria, hierarchical agglomerative clustering to
extend transcript fragments into larger transcriptional units was
performed. Pairs of transcripts further than 100 kb apart,
transcripts on opposite strands, and overlapping transcripts were
not considered for clustering. Groups of correlated transcripts
were merged, and introns <40 nt in length were removed.
[0167] Comparison with Gene Annotation Databases
[0168] The 44,534 transcripts produced by the bioinformatics
pipeline were classified by comparison with a comprehensive list of
"annotated" transcripts from UCSC, RefSeq, ENCODE, Vega, and
Ensembl. First, transcripts corresponding to processed pseudogenes
were separated. This was done to circumvent a known source of bias
in the TopHat read aligner. TopHat maps reads to genomic DNA in its
first step, predisposing exon-exon junction reads to align to their
spliced retroposed pseudogene homologues. Next, transcripts with
>1 bp of overlap with at least one annotated gene on the correct
strand were designated "annotated", and the remainder were deemed
"unannotated". Transcripts with no overlap with protein coding
genes were subdivided into intronic, intergenic, or partially
intronic antisense categories based on their relative genomic
locations.
[0169] Informatics Filtering of Unspliced Pre-mRNA Isoforms
[0170] An increase in the percentage of intronic transcripts in the
assembly relative to known intronic ncRNAs was observed. This led
to the observation that in many cases unspliced pre mRNAs appear at
sufficient levels to escape the filtering steps employed by
Cufflinks during the assembly stage. Intronic and antisense
transcripts that were correlated (Pearson correlation >0.5) to
their overlapping protein coding genes were removed. This
effectively removed transcripts within genes such as PCA3 and HPN
that were obvious premRNA artifacts, while leaving truly novel
intronic transcripts--such as those within FBXL7 and CDH13--intact.
These steps produced a consensus set of 35,415 transcripts
supporting long polyadenylated RNA molecules in human prostate
tissues and cell lines. Per chromosome transcript counts closely
mirrored known transcript databases (Table 2), indicating that the
informatics procedures employed compensate well for gene density
variability across chromosomes. Overall a similar number of
transcripts as present in the either the RefSeq or UCSC databases
(Wheeler et al. Nucleic Acids Res 28, 10-4 (2000)) were
detected.
[0171] Coding Potential Analysis
[0172] To analyze coding potential, DNA sequences for each
transcript were extracted and searched for open reading frames
(ORFs) using the txCdsPredict program from the UCSC source tool set
(Kent et al. Genome Res 12, 996-1006 (2002)). This program produces
a score corresponding to the protein coding capacity of a given
sequence, and scores >800 are .about.90% predictive of protein
coding genes. This threshold was used to count transcripts with
coding potential, and found only 5 of 6,641 unannotated genes with
scores >800, compared with 1,669 of 25,414 protein coding
transcripts. Additionally, it was observed that protein coding
genes possess consistently longer ORFs than either unannotated or
annotated ncRNA transcripts, indicating that the vast majority of
the unannotated transcripts represent ncRNAs (FIG. 10).
[0173] Separation of Transcripts into Repetitive and Non-Repetitive
Categories
[0174] To separate transcripts into "repeat" and "non-repeat"
transcripts, the genomic DNA corresponding to the transcript exons
was extracted and the fraction of repeat-masked nucleotides in each
sequence were calculated. For the designation of repeat classes,
RepMask 3.2.7 UCSC Genome Browser track (Kent, supra) was used. It
was observed that transcripts enriched with repetitive DNA tended
to be poorly conserved and lacked ChIP-seq marks of active
chromatin (FIG. 12). Transcripts containing >25% repetitive DNA
(FIG. 11) were separated for the purposes of the ChIP-seq and
conservation analyses discussed below.
[0175] Conservation Analysis
[0176] The SiPhy package (Garber et al. Bioinformatics 25, i54-62
(2009)) was used to estimate the locate rate of variation (w) of
all non-repetitive transcript exons across 29 placental mammals.
The program was run as described on the SiPhy website.
[0177] ChIP-Seq Datasets
[0178] Published ChIP-Seq datasets for H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3,
Acetylated H3, Pan-H3, and H3K36me3 were used (Yu et al. Cancer
Cell 17, 443-54). These data are publically available through the
NCBI Geo Omnibus (GEO GSM353632). The raw ChIP-Seq data was
analyzed using MACS34 (H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, Acetylated H3,
and Pan-H3) or SICER35 (H3K36me3) peak finder programs using
default settings. These peak finders were used based upon their
preferential suitability to detect different types of histone
modifications (Pepke et al., Nat Methods 6, S22-32 (2009)). The
H3K4me3-H3K36me3 chromatin signature used to identify lincRNAs was
determined from the peak coordinates by associating each H3K4me3
peak with the closest H3K36me3-enriched region up to a maximum of
10 kb away. The enhancer signature (H3K4me1 but not H3K4me3) was
determined by subtracting the set of overlapping H3K4me3 peaks from
the entire set of H3K4me1 peaks. These analyses were performed with
the bx-python libraries distributed as part of the Galaxy
bioinformatics infrastructure.
[0179] Differential Expression Analysis
[0180] To predict differentially expressed transcripts a matrix of
log-transformed, normalized RPKM expression values was prepared by
using the base 2 logarithm after adding 0.1 to all RPKM values. The
data were first centered by subtracting the median expression of
the benign samples for each transcript. The Significance Analysis
of Microarrays (SAM) method (Tusher et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA
98, 5116-21 (2001)) with 250 permutations of the Tusher et al. S0
selection method was used to predict differentially expressed
genes. A delta value corresponding to the 90th percentile FDR
desired for individual analyses was used. The MultiExperiment
Viewer application (Chu et al., Genome Biol 9, R118 (2008)) was
used to run SAM and generate heatmaps. It was confirmed that the
results matched expected results through comparison with
microarrays and known prostate cancer biomarkers.
[0181] Outlier Analysis
[0182] A modified COPA analysis was performed on the 81 tissue
samples in the cohort. RPKM expression values were used and shifted
by 1.0 in order to avoid division by zero. The COPA analysis had
the following steps (MacDonald & Ghosh, Bioinformatics 22,
2950-1 (2006); Tomlins et al. Science 310, 644-8 (2005)): 1) gene
expression values were median centered, using the median expression
value for the gene across the all samples in the cohort. This sets
the gene's median to zero. 2) The median absolute deviation (MAD)
was calculated for each gene, and then each gene expression value
was scaled by its MAD. 3) The 80, 85, 90, 98 percentiles of the
transformed expression values were calculated for each gene and the
average of those four values was taken. Then, genes were rank
ordered according to this "average percentile", which generated a
list of outliers genes arranged by importance. 4) Finally, genes
showing an outlier profile in the benign samples were discarded.
Six novel transcripts ranked as both outliers and
differentially-expressed genes in the analyses. These six were
manually classified either as differentially-expressed or outlier
status based on what each individual's distribution across samples
indicated.
[0183] Repeat Enrichment Analysis
[0184] To assess the enrichment of repetitive elements in the
assembly, 100 random permutations of the transcript positions on
the same chromosome and strand were generated. To mirror the
original constraints used to nominate transcripts it was ensured
that permuted transcript positions contained a uniquely mappable
stretch of genomic DNA at least 50 nt long. To account for the
effects of mappability difficulties, each exon was padded by .+-.0
bp, 50 bp, 100 bp, or 500 bp of additional genomic sequence before
intersecting the exons with repeat elements in the RepeatMasker
3.2.7 database. It was observed that padding by more than 50 bp did
not improve enrichment results and padded exons by .+-.50 bp in
subsequent analyses and tests (Table 9). Finally, the Shapiro-Wilk
test for normality was performed and it was verified that the
number of matches to highly abundant repetitive element types was
approximately normally distributed.
B. Results
[0185] Prostate Cancer Transcriptome Sequencing
[0186] Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed on 21
prostate cell lines, 20 benign adjacent prostates (benign), 47
localized tumors (PCA), and 14 metastatic tumors (MET). A total of
201 RNA-Seq libraries from this cohort were sequenced yielding a
total of 1.41 billion mapped reads, with a median 4.70 million
mapped reads per sample (Table 1 for sample information).
[0187] To analyze these data a method for ab initio transcriptome
assembly to reconstruct transcripts and transcript abundance levels
was used (FIG. 6 and Table 2) (Trapnell et al., Nat Biotechnol 28
(5), 511; Trapnell et al., Bioinformatics 25 (9), 1105 (2009)).
Sample-specific transcriptomes were predicted and individual
predication were merged into a consensus transcriptome and the most
robust transcripts were retained (FIG. 7). The ab initio
transcriptome assembly and subsequent refinement steps yielded
35,415 distinct transcriptional loci (see FIG. 8 for examples).
[0188] The assembled transcriptome was compared to the UCSC,
Ensembl, Refseq, Vega, and ENCODE gene databases to identify and
categorize transcripts. While the majority of the transcripts
(77.3%) corresponded to annotated protein coding genes (72.1%) and
noncoding RNAs (5.2%), a significant percentage (19.8%) lacked any
overlap and were designated "unannotated" (FIG. 1a). These included
partially intronic antisense (2.44%), totally intronic (12.1%), and
intergenic transcripts (5.25%). These results agree with previous
data indicating that large fractions of the transcriptome represent
unannotated transcription (Birney et al., Nature 447 (7146), 799
(2007); Carninci et al., Science 309 (5740), 1559 (2005) and that
significant percentages of genes may harbor related antisense
transcripts (He et al., Science 322 (5909), 1855 (2008); Yelin et
al., Nat Biotechnol 21 (4), 379 (2003)). Due to the added
complexity of characterizing antisense or partially intronic
transcripts without strand-specific RNA-Seq libraries, studies
focused on totally intronic and intergenic transcripts.
[0189] Characterization of Novel Transcripts
[0190] Global characterization of novel transcripts corroborated
previous reports that they are relatively poorly conserved and more
lowly expressed than protein coding genes (Guttman et al., Nat
Biotechnol 28 (5), 503; Guttman et al., Nature 458 (7235), 223
(2009)). Expression levels of unannotated prostate cancer
transcripts were consistently higher than randomly permuted
controls, but lower than annotated ncRNAs or protein coding genes
(FIG. 1b). Unannotated transcripts also showed less overlap with
known expressed sequence tags (ESTs) than protein-coding genes but
more than randomly permuted controls (FIG. 5). Unannotated
transcripts showed a clear but subtle increase in conservation over
control genomic intervals (novel intergenic transcripts
p=2.7.times.10-4.+-.0.0002 for 0.4<.omega.<0.8; novel
intronic transcripts p=2.6.times.10-5.+-.0.0017 for
0<.omega.<0.4, FIG. 1c). Only a small subset of novel
intronic transcripts showed increased conservation (FIG. 1c
insert), but this conservation was quite profound. By contrast, a
larger number of novel intergenic transcripts showed more mild
increases in conservation. Finally, analysis of coding potential
revealed that only 5 of 6,144 transcripts harbored a high quality
open reading frame (ORF), indicating that the overwhelming majority
of these transcripts represent ncRNAs (FIG. 10).
[0191] Next, published prostate cancer ChIP-Seq data for two
prostate cell lines (Yu et al., Cancer Cell 17 (5), 443; VCaP and
LNCaP was used in order to interrogate the overlap of unannotated
transcripts with histone modifications supporting active
transcription (H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, Acetyl-H3 and
RNA polymerase II, see Table 3). Because unannotated ncRNAs showed
two clear subtypes, repeat-associated and non-repeats (FIG. 11 and
discussed below), it was contemplated that these two subtypes may
display distinct histone modifications as noted in previous
research (Day et al., Genome Biol 11 (6), R69). Whereas non-repeat
transcripts showed strong enrichment for hi stone marks of active
transcription at their putative transcriptional start sites (TSSs),
repeat-associated transcripts showed virtually no enrichment (FIG.
12), and for the remaining ChIP-Seq analyses non-repeat transcripts
only were considered. In this set of unannotated transcripts,
strong enrichment for histone modifications characterizing TSSs and
active transcription, including H3K4me2, H3K4me3, Acetyl-H3 and RNA
Polymerase II (FIG. 1d-g) but not H3K4me1 was observed, which
characterizes enhancer regions (FIGS. 13 and 14). Intergenic ncRNAs
performed much better in these analyses than intronic ncRNAs (FIG.
1d-g). To elucidate global changes in transcript abundance between
prostate cancer and benign tissues, differential expression was
performed analysis for all transcripts. 836 genes
differentially-expressed between benign and PCA samples
(FDR<0.01) were found, with protein-coding genes constituting
82.8% of all differentially-expressed genes (FIG. 1h and Table 4).
This category contained the most significant transcripts, including
numerous known prostate cancer genes such as AMACR32 and Hepsin
(Dhanasekaran et al., Nature 412 (6849), 822 (2001)). Annotated
ncRNAs represented 7.4% of differentially-expressed genes,
including the ncRNA PCA334, which resides within an intron of the
PRUNE2 gene and ranked #4 overall (12.2 fold change; adj.
p<2.times.10-4, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Benjamini-Hochberg
correction) (FIG. 8). Finally, 9.8% of differentially-expressed
genes corresponded to unannotated ncRNAs, including 3.2% within
gene introns and 6.6% in intergenic regions, indicating that these
species contribute significantly to the complexity of the prostate
cancer transcriptome.
[0192] Dysregulation of Unannotated Non-Coding RNAs
[0193] Recent reports of functional long intervening non-coding
RNAs (Dhanasekaran et al., Nature 412 (6849), 822 (2001); Gupta et
al., Nature 464 (7291), 1071; Rinn et al., Cell 129 (7), 1311
(2007); Guttman et al., Nature 458 (7235), 223 (2009)) (lincRNAs)
in intergenic regions led to an exploration of intergenic ncRNAs
further. A total of 1859 unannotated intergenic RNAs were found
throughout the human genome. The present invention is not limited
to a particular mechanism. Indeed, an understanding of the
mechanism is not necessary to practice the present invention.
Nonetheless it is contemplated that this is an underestimate due to
the inability to detect small RNAs eliminated by the .about.250 bp
size selection performed during RNA-Seq library generation
(Methods). Overall, novel intergenic RNAs resided closer to
protein-coding genes than protein-coding genes do to each other
(the median distance to the nearest protein-coding gene is 4292 kb
for novel genes and 8559 kb for protein-coding genes, FIG. 2a). For
instance, if two protein-coding genes, Gene A and Gene B, are
separated by the distance AB, then the furthest an unannotated
ncRNA can be from both of them is 0.5*AB, which is exactly what was
observed (4292/8559=0.501). Supporting this observation, 34.1% of
unannotated transcripts are located .gtoreq.10 kb from the nearest
protein-coding gene. As an example, the Chr15q arm was visualized
using the Circos program. Eighty-nine novel intergenic transcripts
were nominated across this chromosomal region, including several
differentially-expressed loci centromeric to TLE3 (FIG. 2b) which
were validated by PCR in prostate cancer cell lines (FIG. 15). A
focused analysis of the 1859 novel intergenic RNAs yielded 106 that
were differentially expressed in localized tumors (FDR<0.05;
FIG. 2c). These Prostate Cancer Associated Transcripts (PCATs) were
ranked according to their fold change in localized tumor versus
benign tissue (Tables 5 and 6).
[0194] Similarly, performing a modified cancer outlier profile
analysis (COPA) on the RNA-Seq dataset re-discovered numerous known
prostate cancer outliers, such as ERG7, ETV17, SPINK135, and
CRISP336,37, and nominated numerous unannotated ncRNAs as outliers
(FIG. 2d and Tables 6 and 7). Merging the results from the
differential expression and COPA analyses resulted in a set of 121
unannotated transcripts that accurately discriminated benign,
localized tumor, and metastatic prostate samples by unsupervised
clustering (FIG. 2c). These data provide evidence that PCATs serve
as biomarkers for prostate cancer and novel prostate cancer
subtypes. Clustering analyses using novel ncRNA outliers also
provide disease subtypes (FIG. 16).
[0195] Confirmation and Tissue-Specificity of ncRNAs
[0196] Validation studies were performed on 14 unannotated
expressed regions, including ones both included and not present in
the list of differentially expressed transcripts. Reverse
transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)
experiments demonstrated a .about.78% (11/14) validation rate in
predicted cell line models for both transcript identity and
expression level (FIG. 17). Next, three transcripts (PCAT-109,
PCAT-14, and PCAT-43) selectively upregulated in prostate cancer
compared to normal prostate were examined. From the sequencing
data, each genomic loci shows significantly increased expression in
prostate cancer and metastases, except for PCAT-14, which appears
absent in metastases (FIG. 3a-c). PCAT-109 also ranks as the #5
best outlier in prostate cancer, just ahead of ERG (FIG. 2d and
Table 6). qPCR on a cohort of 14 benign prostates, 47 tumors, and
10 metastases confirmed expression of these transcripts (FIG.
3a-c). All three appear to be prostate-specific, with no expression
seen in breast or lung cancer cell lines or in 19 normal tissue
types (Table 8). This tissue specificity was not necessarily due to
regulation by androgen signaling, as only PCAT-14 expression was
induced by treatment of androgen responsive VCaP and LNCaP cells
with the synthetic androgen R1881, consistent with previous data
from this genomic locus (FIG. 18) (Tomlins et al., Nature 448
(7153), 595 (2007); Stavenhagen et al., Cell 55 (2), 247 (1988)).
PCAT-14, but not PCAT-109 or PCAT-43, also showed differential
expression when tested on a panel of matched tumor-normal samples,
indicating that this transcript, which is comprised of an
endogenous retrovirus in the HERV-K family (Bannert and Kurth, Proc
Natl Acad Sci USA 101 Suppl 2, 14572 (2004)), can be used as a
somatic marker for prostate cancer (FIG. 19). 5' and 3' rapid
amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) at this locus revealed the
presence of individual viral protein open reading frames (ORFs) and
a transcript splicing together individual ORF 5' untranslated
region (UTR) sequences (FIG. 20). It was observed that the
top-ranked intergenic ncRNA resided in the chromosome 8q24 gene
desert nearby to the c-Myc oncogene. This ncRNA, termed PCAT-1, is
located on the edge of the prostate cancer susceptibility region
240-43 (FIG. 4a) and is about 0.5 Mb away from c-Myc. This
transcript is supported by clear peaks in H3K4me3, Acetyl-H3, and
RNA polymerase II ChIP-Seq data (FIG. 4b). The exon-exon junction
in cell lines was validated by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing of the
junction (FIG. 4c), and 5' and 3' RACE was performed to elucidate
transcript structure (FIG. 4d). By this analysis, PCAT-1 is a
mariner family transposase (Oosumi et al., Nature 378 (6558), 672
(1995); Robertson et al., Nat Genet 12 (4), 360 (1996)) interrupted
by an Alu retrotransposon and regulated by a viral long terminal
repeat (LTR) promoter region (FIG. 4d and FIG. 21). By qPCR, PCAT-1
expression is specific to prostate tissue, with striking
upregulation in prostate cancers and metastases compared to benign
prostate tissue (FIG. 4e). PCAT-1 ranks as the second best overall
prostate cancer biomarker, just behind AMACR (Table 3), indicating
that this transcript is a powerful discriminator of this disease.
Matched tumor normal pairs similarly showed marked upregulation in
the matched tumor samples (FIG. 4f). RNA interference (RNAi) was
performed in VCaP cells using custom siRNAs targeting PCAT-1
sequences and no change in the cell proliferation or invasion upon
PCAT-1 knockdown was observed (FIG. 22)
[0197] Selective Re-Expression of Repetitive Elements in Cancer
[0198] The presence of repetitive elements in PCAT-1 led to an
exploration of repetitive elements. Repetitive elements, such as
Alu and LINE-1 retrotransposons, are broadly known to be degenerate
in humans (Oosumi et al, supra; Robertson et al., supra; Cordaux et
al., Nat Rev Genet 10 (10), 691 (2009), with only .about.100 LINE-1
elements (out of 12 500,000) showing possible retrotransposon
activity (Brouha et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100 (9), 5280
(2003)). While transcription of these elements is frequently
repressed through DNA methylation and repressive chromatin
modifications (Slotkin and Martienssen, Nat Rev Genet 8 (4), 272
(2007)), in cancer widespread hypomethylation has been reported
(Cho et al., J Pathol 211 (3), 269 (2007); Chalitchagorn et al.,
Oncogene 23 (54), 8841 (2004); Yegnasubramanian et al., Cancer Res
68 (21), 8954 (2008)). Moreover, recent evidence indicates that
these elements have functional roles in both normal biology
(Kunarso et al., Nat Genet.) and cancer (Lin et al., Cell 139 (6),
1069 (2009)), even if their sequences have mutated away from their
evolutionary ancestral sequence (Chow et al., Cell 141 (6), 956).
To date, only RNA-Seq platforms enable discovery and quantification
of specific transposable elements expressed in cancer. As described
above, it was observed that >50% of unannotated exons in the
assembly overlap with at least one repetitive element (FIG. 11).
Since these elements pose mappability challenges when performing
transcriptome assembly with unique reads, these loci typically
appear as "mountain ranges" of expression, with uniquely mappable
regions forming peaks of expression separated by unmappable
"ravines" (FIGS. 23 and 24). PCR and Sanger sequencing experiments
were performed to confirm that these transposable elements of low
mappability are expressed as part of these loci (FIGS. 23 and 24).
To probe this observation further, the exons from unannotated
transcripts in the assembly, with the addition of the flanking 50,
100, or 500 bp of additional genomic sequence to the 5' and 3' end
of the exons were generated, the overlap of these intervals with
repetitive elements to randomly permuted genomic intervals of
similar sizes was performed. A highly significant enrichment for
repetitive elements in the dataset was observed (OR 2.82 (95% CI
2.68-2.97), p<10-100, Table 9). Examination of the individual
repetitive element classes revealed a specific enrichment for SINE
elements, particularly Alus (p.ltoreq.2.times.10-16, Tables 10 and
11). A subset of LINE-1 and Alu transposable elements demonstrate
marked differential expression in a subset of prostate cancer
tumors (FIG. 25). One locus on chromosome 2 (also highlighted in
FIG. 3b) is a 500+kb region with numerous expressed transposable
elements (FIG. 26). This locus, termed Second Chromosome Locus
Associated with Prostate-1 (SChLAP1), harbors transcripts that
perform extremely well in outlier analyses for prostate cancer
(Tables 6 and 7). PCAT-109, discussed above, is one outlier
transcript in this region. Moreover, the SChLAP1 locus is highly
associated with patients positive for ETS gene fusions
(p<0.0001, Fisher's exact test, FIG. 27), whereas this
association was not observed with other expressed repeats. A direct
regulatory role for ERG on this region was not identified using
siRNA-mediated knockdown of ERG in the VCaP cell line. These data
indicate that the dysregulation of repeats in cancer is highly
specific, and that this phenomenon associates with only a subset of
tumors and metastases. Thus, the broad hypomethylation of repeat
elements observed in cancer (Cho et al., J Pathol 211 (3), 269
(2007); Chalitchagorn et al., Oncogene 23 (54), 8841 (2004);
Yegnasubramanian et al., Cancer Res 68 (21), 8954 (2008)) does not
account for the high specificity of repeat expression.
[0199] Non-Invasive Detection of ncRNAs in Urine
[0200] Taken together, these data show an abundance of novel ncRNA
biomarkers for prostate cancer, many of which appear to have tissue
specificity. 77 urine sediments obtained from patients with
prostate cancer and 31 control patients without known disease
(Table 12 for sample details) were analyzed (Laxman et al., Cancer
Res 68 (3), 645 (2008)). The control patients are defined as those
lacking cancer histology upon prostate biopsy and lacking the
TMPRSS2-ERG fusion transcript in urine sediment RNA (Laxman et al.,
supra). PCAT-1 and PCAT-14, as well as the known ncRNA biomarker
PCA3, were selected for evaluation on this urine panel due to their
biomarker status in patient tissue samples. qPCR analysis led to an
observation of specificity in their ability to detect prostate
cancer patients and not patients with normal prostates (FIG. 5a-c).
In several cases, patients with ETS-negative prostate cancer that
were misclassified as "benign" are clearly evident (FIGS. 5a and
5c). Moreover, PCAT-14 appears to perform almost as well as PCA3 as
a urine biomarker, nearly achieving statistical significance
(p=0.055, Fisher's exact test) despite the small number of patients
used for this panel. It was next evaluated whether these
unannotated ncRNAs identified a redundant set of patients that
would also be identified by other urine tests, such as PCA3 or
TMPRSS2-ERG transcripts. Comparing PCAT-1 and PCAT-14 expression in
urine samples to PCA3 or to each other revealed that these ncRNAs
identified distinct patient sets, indicating that a patient's urine
typically harbors PCAT-1 or PCAT-14 transcripts but not both (FIG.
5d). Using the cut-offs displayed in FIG. 5a-c, a binary heatmap
comparing these three ncRNAs with patients' TMPRSS2-ERG status was
generated (FIG. 5e). The ncRNAs were able to detect additional
ETS-negative patients with prostate cancer through this urine test,
indicating that they have clinical utility as highly specific
markers for prostate cancer using a multiplexed urine test.
Combining PCAT-1, PCAT-14 and PCA3 into a single "non-coding RNA
signature" generated a highly specific urine signature (p=0.0062,
Fisher's exact test, FIG. 5f) that identifies a number of prostate
cancer patients that is broadly comparable to the TMPRSS2-ERG
fusion (33% vs. 45%).
[0201] FIG. 34 shows detection of prostate cancer RNAs in patient
urine samples using qPCR. All RNA species were detectable in urine.
FIG. 35 shows that multiplexing urine SChLAP-1 measurements with
serum PSA improves prostate cancer risk stratification.
Individually, SChLAP-1 is a predictor for prostate cancers with
intermediate or high clinical risk of aggressiveness. Multiplexing
this measurement with serum PSA improves upon serum PSA's ability
to predict for more aggressive disease.
Additional Characterization
[0202] Additional experiments were conducted related to PCAT-1 and
SChLAP-1 region in prostate cancer. FIG. 29 demonstrates that
PCAT-1 expression sensitizes prostate cancer cells to treatment
with PARP-1 inhibitors. FIG. 30 demonstrates that PCAT-1 expression
sensitizes prostate cells to radiation treatment.
[0203] FIG. 31 demonstrates that unannotated intergenic transcripts
in SChLAP-1 differentiate prostate cancer and benign samples. FIG.
32 demonstrates that SChLAP-1 is required for prostate cancer cell
invasion and proliferation. Prostate cell lines, but not
non-prostate cells, showed a reduction in invasion by Boyden
chamber assays. EZH2 and non-targeting siRNAs served as positive
and negative controls, respectively. Deletion analysis of SChLAP-1
was performed. FIG. 33 shows that a regionessential for its
function was identified.
ncRNAs in Lung, Breast, and Pancreatic Cancers
[0204] Analysis of the lung cancer transcriptome (FIG. 36) was
performed. 38 lung cell lines were analyzed by RNA-Seq and then
lncRNA transcripts were reconstructed. Unannotated transcripts
accounted for 27% of all transcripts. Novel transcripts well more
highly expressed than annotated ncRNAs but not protein-coding
transcripts. An outlier analyses of 13 unannotated transcripts
shows novel lncRNAs in subtypes of lung cancer cell lines. FIG. 37
shows discovery of M41 and ENST-75 ncRNAs in lung cancer. FIG. 38
shows that lncRNAs are drivers and biomarkers in lung cancer. FIG.
39 shows identification of cancer-associated lncRNAs in breast and
pancreatic cancer. Three novel breast cancer lncRNAs were nominated
from RNA-Seq data (TU0011194, TU0019356, and TU0024146. All show
outlier expression patterns in breast cancer samples but not benign
samples. Three novel pancreatic cancer lncRNAs were nominated from
RNA-Seq data (TU0009141, TU0062051, and TU0021861). All show
outlier expression patterns in pancreatic cancer samples but not
benign samples.
