To assess the validity of using serum miRNA signatures of PDAC as biomarkers for diagnosis. Methods. MiRNA microarray was used to detect the differences between PDAC samples and normal pancreatic tissues. MiR-192 and miR-194 were found in the tissues of human PDAC and in the explants in tumorbearing SCID mice by locked nucleic acid-based in situ hybridization (LNA-ISH). Serum levels of miR-192 and miR-194 in PDAC patients, duodenal adenocarcinoma patients and healthy controls, as well as six pancreatic cancer cell lines and their culture supernatants were determined by real-time PCR. Results. Eight miRNAs were found overexpressed and eight were lowly expressed in PDAC tissues compared with those in the normal pancreatic tissues. MiR-192 and miR-194 were found overexpressed in the tissues of human PDAC and in the explants in tumor-bearing SCID mice. The levels of miR-192 and miR-194 in the supernatants of six pancreatic cancer cell lines were positively correlated with their cellular expressions (r=0.849, p
Abstracts SG-140 Sialinomycin induces autophagic and apoptotic cell death in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines M . Vogt 1 , B . Verdoodt 1 , S .-T . Liffers 1 , A . Tannapfel 1 , A . Mirmohammadsadegh 1 1 Ruhr-University of Bochum, Institute of Pathology, Bochum Aims. Salinomycin a polyether antibiotic, is produced by a strain of streptomyces albus and has anti-microbial and anti-coccodial activities. Recently, a number of studies described anti-tumor properties of salinomycin, in particular its effect on chemoresistant tumor initiating cells. In the present study, we investigated the impact of salinomycin mediated activation of MEK/ERK signalling pathway on autophagy and apoptotic cell death in pancreatic cancer cell lines. Methods. Two pancreatic cell lines MIAPaCa-2 and PaTu8902 were used to analyze the effect of salinomycin on cell viability, autophagy and apoptosis. The effect of salinomycin on autophgay was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for detection of autophagic vesicles and processing of LC3B, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 isoform B (LC3B). Towards investigating the role of salinomycin on apoptotic cell death we used caspase3/7, FACS, Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining. Results. Salinomycin treatment inhibits cell viability and colony forming in MIA PaCa-2 and PaTu8902 in a time and concentration depending manner. In both cell lines salinomycin was able to induce autophagic cell death, detected by LC3 processing and formation of autophagic vacoules. Salinomycin was able to induce autophagic and apoptotic cell death in MIAPaCa-2 cell lines. In MIAPaCa-2 cells the salinomycin induced autophagic cell death was dependent on ERK1/2 pathway. In contrast, salinomycin induced autophagic cell death in PaTu8902 was independent of ERK1/2. Conclusions. Salinomycin, a novel anti-tumor drug is able to induce autophagic and apoptotic cell death depending on cellular background. Mammary Cancer SG-141 Kindlin2 up-regulation promotes tumor progression W . Fang1 , T . Zhao1 , H .-q . Zhang2 1Department of Pathology, Key Laboratory of Carcinogenesis and Translational Research, Beijing, China, 2Peking University Health Science Center, Beijing, China Aims. Kindlin-2 has been confirmed as an essential element of bidirectional integrin signaling. In recent years, the relationship between Kindlin-2 expression and cancers has been a focus of interest. Our previous studies have shown that Kindlin-2 expression was up-regulated in several types of human cancers, and a strong correlation between Kindlin-2 expression and clinical outcome of breast cancer patients was found. However, the functional role of Kindlin-2 in breast cancer has not been studied. This study was designed to investigate the role of Kindlin-2 in the progression of human breast cancer cells. Methods. Firstly, Kindlin-2 expression at protein level was detected by Western blot in several breast cancer cell lines. Two luminal-like breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and T47D, expressed low level of Kindlin-2. Two basal-like breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and HS578T, expressed mo<strong>der</strong>ate levels of the protein. Then, Kindlin-2 gene was overexpressed by transfected into MCF-7 cells. In comparison, short hairpin RNA (ShRNA)-mediated knockdown of Kindlin-2 was performed in HS578T cells. Vector controls were also done in the same cell lines. Ki67 Li, FCM cell cycle, anchorage-independent colony formation (in vitro tumorigenesis), and in vivo tumorigenesis in NOD/SCID mice were observed. Apoptotic cells were labeled by fluorescent annexin V assay and 86 | Der Pathologe · Supplement 1 · 2012 quantified by FACS. Array CGH analysis and spectral karyotyping were performed to detect the genomic instability of these cells. Results. The growth rate of Kindlin-2-transfected MCF-7 cells was much quicker than that of the controls. The proportion of G2-M phase cells, clone formation and tumorigenicity were significantly higher than these of the controls. The change of Kindlin-2-ShRNA transfected cells was just the reverse. Moreover, Up-regulation of Kindlin-2 can also reduce the rate of apoptosis induced by the chemotherapy drugs, and these cells showed much more genomic instability compared with the controls. Conclusions. These findings suggested that up-regulation of Kindlin-2 promotes the progression of human breast cancer cells by increasing their proliferation, drug resistance, genomic instability, and tumorigenesis. SG-142 ECRG4 is frequently downregulated by CpG island hypermethylation in human breast cancer W . Zhang1 1Zhejiang University, Institute of Pathology, Hangzhou, China Aims. Esophageal cancer related gene4 (ECRG4) is a recently reported candidate tumor suppressor gene frequently hypermethylated in several human tumor types, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, glioma and prostatic carcinoma. This study is to investigate if ECRG4 is transcriptionally silenced by promoter CpG island methylation in breast cancer. Methods. We analyzed several breast cell lines and 12 pairs of fresh samples from breast cancer patients for ECRG4 promoter CpG island methylation by COBRA and bisulfite sequencing. ECRG4 mRNA and protein expression analysis was carried out by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, realtime PCR, Western Blot and immunohistochemistry. Results. We found that all of three immortalized normal breast cell lines and three normal breast tissues expressed ECRG4 proteins, whereas ECRG4 expression were reduced or absent in most breast cancer cell lines and primary breast cancer samples. We also identified that ECRG4 promoter was frequently methylated in breast cancer samples. An inverse correlation between mRNA expression and methylation status of the ECRG4 promoter CpG island was observed in primary breast cancer samples. Conclusions. The expression of ECRG4 is frequently decreased due to promoter CpG island hypermethylation in breast cancer. SG-143 Novel biomarkers in breast carcinoma: DKK3, ITIH5, SFRP-1 V . Kloten1 , B . Becker1 , M .G . Schrau<strong>der</strong> 2 , P .A . Fasching 2 , A . Hartmann3 , J . Veeck1 , R . Knüchel1 , E . Dahl1 1University Hospital of the RWTH Aachen, Institute of Pathology, Aachen, 2University Hospital Erlangen, University Breast Center, Erlangen, 3University Hospital Erlangen, Erlangen Aims. For early detection of breast cancer the development of robust blood-based biomarkers that accurately reflect the host tumor is mandatory and thus a growing field of research. The most common alterations in human cancers including breast cancer are changes in the status of DNA methylation, which are therefore quickly emerging as a new pool of potential biomarkers. Thus, we investigated the feasibility of detecting aberrant tumor suppressor gene methylation in cancer cell-<strong>der</strong>ived free circulating DNA in the bloodstream of patients. Methods. Using qualitative MSP, we examined the methylation status of six biologically significant putative tumor suppressor genes, i.e. ITIH5, DKK3, WIF1, SFRP1, SFRP2 and SFRP5 in DNA extracted from serum. Clinical performance was determined in a large training study on 150 serum samples (120 breast cancers, 30 healthy controls). 20 benign di-
