    Abstract Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an advanced variation of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE); protein samples are labeled with different fluorescent dyes, mixed and separated by 2D-PAGE. 2D-DIGE solves major inherent drawbacks of 2D-PAGE, demonstrating great utility in biomarker studies. Biomarker development requires quantitative, reproducible, highly sensitive and high-throughput experimental platforms, and 2D-DIGE meets these criteria. Here we demonstrate the advantages of 2D-DIGE and discuss the possibilities 2D-DIGE offers for further, more comprehensive proteome studies.

    Abstract Alterations of DNA methylation are one of the most consistent epigenetic changes in human cancers. Human cancers generally show global DNA hypomethylation accompanied by region-specific hypermethylation. Alterations of DNA methylation may result in chromosomal instability as a result of changes in chromatin structure. DNA hypermethylation of CpG islands silences various tumor-related genes. Alterations of DNA methylation are frequently observed in cancers associated with chronic inflammation and/or persistent infection with viruses or other pathogenic microorganisms, such as hepatitis B or C viruses, Epstein-Barr virus, human papillomavirus and Helicobacter pylori, or with cigarette smoking. Accumulating evidence suggests that alterations of DNA methylation are involved even in the early and precancerous stages. On the other hand, in patients with cancers, aberrant DNA methylation is significantly associated with poorer tumor differentiation, tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Precancerous conditions showing alterations of DNA methylation may progress rapidly and generate more malignant cancers. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 over-expression is not a secondary result of increased cell proliferative activity but is significantly correlated with the CpG island methylator phenotype, which is defined as frequent DNA hypermethylation of C-type CpG islands that are usually methylated in a cancer-specific (not age-dependent) manner. Splicing alteration of DNMT3b may result in chromosomal instability through DNA hypomethylation of pericentromeric satellite regions. Alteration of DNA methylation may become an indicator for carcinogenetic risk estimation and early diagnosis of cancers and a biological predictor of poor prognosis in patients with cancers. Correction of DNA methylation status may offer a new strategy for prevention and therapy of cancers.

    Abstract Proteome data combined with histopathological information provides important, novel clues for understanding cancer biology and reveals candidates for tumor markers and therapeutic targets. We have established an application of a highly sensitive fluorescent dye (CyDye DIGE Fluor saturation dye), developed for two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), to the labeling of proteins extracted from laser microdissected tissues. The use of the dye dramatically decreases the protein amount and, in turn, the number of cells required for 2D-DIGE; the cells obtained from a 1 mm2 area of an 8-12 microm thick tissue section generate up to 5,000 protein spots in a large-format 2D gel. This protocol allows the execution of large-scale proteomics in a more efficient, accurate and reproducible way. The protocol can be used to examine a single sample in 5 d or to examine hundreds of samples in large-scale proteomics.

    Abstract Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. This study focused on small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which has a poor clinical prognosis, and attempted to elucidate potential therapeutic molecular targets. A target-specific mutational search revealed mutation of the PIK3CA gene in three of 13 SCLC cell lines and two of 15 primary SCLCs. By introducing these mutant PIK3CA cDNAs, we established artificial "PIK3CA-addicted" cells and found that Tricribine, a small-molecule inhibitor of AKT signaling that is located downstream from PIK3CA, significantly inhibited the growth and colony formation activity of these cells. Using cancer cell lines, we further showed that PIK3CA-mutated SCLC cells are more sensitive to Tricribine than PIK3CA wild-type cells. Additionally, we found that a cisplatin-resistant subclone of PIK3CA-mutant SCLC cells was equally sensitive to Tricribine. This study for the first time uncovered PIK3CA alterations in SCLC, and our findings suggest that anti-AKT molecular therapy could be effective for a subgroup of SCLC, which shows activation of specific genes, such as PIK3CA mutation, and that genetic stratification of SCLC according to the activation status of individual therapeutic target pathways could be clinically beneficial, especially for chemotherapy-resistant/relapsing tumors.

    Abstract Accumulation of the beta-catenin protein and transactivation of a certain set of T-cell factor (TCF)-4 target genes by accumulated beta-catenin have been considered crucial in colorectal carcinogenesis. In the present review, we summarize nuclear proteins that interact with, and regulate, the beta-catenin and TCF and lymphoid enhancer factor (LEF) transcriptional complexes. Our recent series of proteomic studies has also revealed that various classes of nuclear proteins participate in the beta-catenin-TCF-4 complex and modulate its transcriptional activity. Furthermore, the protein composition of the TCF-4-containing nuclear complex is not fixed, but is regulated dynamically by endogenous programs associated with intestinal epithelial cell differentiation and exogenous stimuli. Restoration of the loss-of-function mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene in colorectal cancer cells does not seem to be a realistic approach with currently available medical technologies, and only signaling molecules downstream of the APC gene product can be considered as targets of pharmacological intervention. Nuclear proteins associated with the beta-catenin-TCF-4 complex may include feasible targets for molecular therapy against colorectal cancer. Recently, an inhibitor of the interaction between CREB-binding protein and beta-catenin was shown to efficiently shut down the transcriptional activity of TCF-4 and induce apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. We also summarize current strategies in the development of drugs against Wnt signaling.

    Abstract Dysadherin is a cancer-associated cell membrane glycoprotein that promotes experimental cancer metastasis. Here we review recent work that has provided insights into possible mechanisms of action of this newly recognized player in the cancer progression process. Dysadherin modulates cell phenotype in a number of ways, including down-regulation of E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion, and up-regulation of chemokine production. In this way, expression of dysadherin in a tumor can influence both the tumor cell itself and the stromal compartment, so as to create conditions that are more permissive for metastatic spread. Dysadherin expression is also an independent prognostic indicator of metastasis and survival for many different types of human cancer. Thus, dysadherin may represent a new molecular target for the visualization, prevention or treatment of advanced cancer.
