Establishing arsenic-related carcinogenic mechanism of human
urothelium
We have finished the following works:
1. Gene expressions profiles of NTUB1 and NTUB1/As using cDNA microarray have been determined. Gene of 3-fold or higher difference in expression between NTUB1 and NTUB1/As (arsenic trioxide-resistant clone) have been picked up and are thought to play roles in arsenic-related carcinogenesis. (Table 1)

2. The above data will be linked to those from Component Project 2, which used immortalized human urothelial cells (SV-HUC-1 or CRL9520) that were also made resistant to arsenic trioxide by long-term incubation. The common genes responsible for resistance in NTUB1/As and SV-HUC-1/As should be the priority for validation and further in-depth study.
3. One of the up-regulated genes in resistant cell lines, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), had been done by real time PCR, but the data are not definitely compatible with those in cDNA microarray. We also used PA3-019 (polyclonal rabbit anti-HO1 antibody) (Affinity BioReagentTM) to detect HO-1 protein, which is expressed in all UC tissue samples, regardless of arsenic resisitance; but not in adjacent normal or normal urothelia. We observed that tumors with higher grade and stage or related to arsenic tended to express lower level of HO-1 protein. Whether there is real difference between high-level expression tumors and low-level expression tumors is currently under study.

It appears that normal urothelium is negative for HO-1 staining. Almost all tumors are positive for HO-1 staining. We are still working on the staining intensity to see if there is differential staining between As-related or unrelated UCs.
of low amount and suboptimal quality, which made microarray results questionable. Linear amplification will be used to amplify the amount of RNA. We will adopt laser capture microdissection and linear amplification to get enough cDNA representing benign urothelia.
6. In the coming grant period, we will continue the cDNA microarray experiment and subsequent data analysis to isolate genes specific for carcinogenesis of
arsenic–related UC.
Establishing a drug-selecting algorithm by correlating drug sensitivity
with expressed gene profiles in UC
We have finished the following works:
1. In vitro chemosensitivity testing: Six parental sensitive UC cell lines (NTUB1, T24, HTB5, TSGH8301, BFTCC905, and BFTCC909) and 5 daughter resistant UC cell lines (NTUB1/As resistant to arsenic trioxide, NTUB1/G resistant to gemcitabine, NTUB1/P resistant to cisplatin, NTUB1/T resistant to paclitaxel, and T24/A resistant to
doxorubicin) have been tested against 8 commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs (cisplatin, doxorubicin, 5-FU, gemcitabine, methotrexate, paclitaxel, vinblastine, and arsenic trioxide). A total of 88 IC50 values (11 X 8 = 88) had been obtained. (Table2)

2. Gene expression profiles of 11 UC cell lines determined by the cDNA microarray technology have been obtained. Genes of 3-fold or higher difference in expression between the 3 most sensitive (mean expression signals) and 3 most resistant UC cell lines have been picked up to be responsible for the chemoresistance. These genes are referred to as “resistance-related genes”. A total of 79 genes have been identified. (See B2b. Studies and Results (Cont.))
3. Tumor specimens from patients treated with chemotherapy were collected. Pre-chemotherapy tumor RNAs were extracted and cDNAs were made ready for real-time PCR to examine the expression status of the above “resistance-related genes”. These tumors had variable responses (complete response [n = 2], partial response [n = 8], stable disease [n = 8], and progressive disease [n = 8]) to
chemotherapy containing paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, methotrexate, vinblastine, gemcitabine, etc. So theoretically tumor responses can be correlated with the
expression status of the “resistance-related genes”.
4. A model of predicting the chemosensitivity of a given tumor for each chemotherapeutic agent will be formulated by inputting above data (gene expressions as the independent variables and clinical response as the dependent variable) of about 20 clinical tumor samples. Another set of 20 to 30 clinical tumors will be used to validate the model. However, the difficulty of the following analysis lies in that we use combination
human urothelial cells (SV-HUC-1 or CRL9520) that were made resistant to arsenic trioxide by long-term incubation. These 2 component projects pursue the topic from different aspects and are complementary to each other.
Comment III-2. Second, this component project intends to establish a drug-selecting algorithm by correlating drug sensitivity with expressed gene profiles of TCC. Can one equate, at least approximately, the notion of drug sensitivity with the desire to reduce toxicity and improve efficacy? How will the drug sensitivity be measured and have such measures been validated? It is felt that a strong rationale should be provided to assure that the approach for in vitro chemosensitivity testing, which is rather complicated with 23 cells subjected to test against 10 agents, will tailor future chemotherapy regimens.
Answer to Comment III-2. This study approach is a novel one which needs
verification and validation. If a given tumor is resistant to certain chemotherapeutic agents
and sensitive to others, a reasonable strategy to improve treatment efficacy and reduce toxicity is to utilize sensitive drugs but avoid resistant ones. Our strategy is to correlate resistance-related gene expressions of a given tumor and clinical responses to a certain agent. Hopefully, a model of predicting chemosensitivity can be formulated and will be validated by another set of tumors of whom the clinical treatment response and gene expressions by real-time PCR can be obtained.
Comment III-3. The detailed budget request is not provided. Every page after 16 is blank. Answer to Comment III-3. As requested, the budget request of the third year is attached in the report.
Comment III-4. A major concern raised in previous review was that the proposed
approaches for part II are purely exploratory and with the number of units considered (small indeed), it is unclear if meaningful results would be obtained. This concern was not
addressed in the progress report.
Answer to Comment III-4. The proposed approaches for part II are not entirely exploratory. For examples, Zajchoski DA, et al. (Cancer Res 2001;61:5168-78) identified gene
expression profiles that predict the aggressive behavior of breast cancer cells using 9 weakly invasive and 4 highly invasive breast cancer cell lines (13 cell lines in total). As compared with the 11 parental (presumably chemo-sensitive) cell lines and 12 daughter (presumably chemo-resistant) cell lines used in our study, the power of the study could be as strong as Zajchoski’s study. However, we admit that using gene expression profiles of certain cell lines to predict clinical chemosensitivity (or chemoresistance) is exploratory.
