Definitions
- tumours Metastatic spread of tumours from the site of primary growth to distant organs, where seedling tumours are formed by disseminated cells, is the most clinically important property of malignant tumours. It endows the community of tumour cells with the ability to survive surgical excision of the primary growth. Also, because metastases can themselves act as foci for further shedding and dissemination of tumour cells, this process forms the basis for a geometric increase in the impact of the tumour on the host and increasing difficulty in clinical management, because of the wide dispersal of the tumour burden. The magnitude of the effect of this phenomenon on human health can be appreciated by reference to the mortality statistics published by the Registrar General of the United Kingdom.
- the fragment has been sequenced and c comparison of this information with entries in the
- GenBank/EMBL DataBank indicates that it contains human DNA which has not been previously recorded. Further analysis of the sequence by computer programmes to detect coding regions as well as by Northern blotting and by reverse transcription-poly erase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques, has provided converging lines of evidence that parts of it are vigorously transcribed (expressed) in malignant human tumours and their metastases, but not comparably so in non-neoplastic tissue. The significance of this finding is that the sequence has the potential to be a valuable probe for the accurate assessment of the prognosis of patients with malignant tumours, by examination of a tiny biopsy sample or even a few cells obtained by fine needle aspiration, and thus to influence therapy. 5
- the invention provides the 2858bp DNA whose sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) is shown in the Figure.
- the invention also provides a nucleic acid o which codes for a protein which is expressed in malignant human tumours and their metastases, which nucleic acid is selected from: the 2858bp DNA whose sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) is shown in the figure, degenerated and allele variations thereof, fragments 5 thereof, longer DNA chains comprising any of these, and DNA which hybridises to any of these.
- the nucleic acid can be incorporated into an expression vector, and the vector into a microorganism.
- the expression vector and the transformed microorganism Q constitute further aspects of the invention.
- the invention provides use of the defined nucleic acids or derivatives or fragments thereof for the identification, preparation or isolation of the nucleotide sequence or portions thereof coding for a protein which is expressed in malignant human tumours and their metastasis.
- the inventor intends to proceed with blotting, PCR and library screening techniques, to search for related flanking sequences and cDNA clones. In this way, it is hoped to recover stretches of human DNA which are worth testing in functional assays to evaluate their metastatic inductive capability.
- These experiments may include reintroduction of the defined expression vectors into non-metastatic tumour cell lines.
- the invention also provides a method of investigating metastasis which method comprises obtaining a sample of cells, and analysing the sample for the nucleic acid of the 2858bp nucleic acid fragment or for a complementary RNA sequence.
- This analysis may preferably involve the use of reverse transcriptase to form cDNA corresponding to RNA of the sample; amplifying the cDNA, e.g. by the polymerase chain reaction; and performing a hybridisation assay of the amplified DNA using as a hybridisation probe a fragment or the whole of the defined DNA.
- Tne sample of cells may be a clinical sample of body fluid (e.g. blood, urine, sputum or stool) or body tissue (e.g. tumour tissue) of a patient.
- the sample may be a histological section which is probed using a fluorescent or other labelled probe for mRNA corresponding to the 2858bp nucleic acid fragment.
- GCG Computer Group
- the GCG program CodonPreference was used to display potential open reading frames (i.e. stretches of sequence without a frame stop codon) ; and to predict the likely coding regions, based on the degree of codon bias shown towards a reference codon usage set of highly expressed human genes.
- the level of GC bias and codon usage bias were seen that corresponded to possible open reading frames (ORFs). Among the most notable is the region from approximately bases 1650 to 1800 in the 2nd reading frame of the reverse strand.
- Grail predicted three possible exons, one in the forward strand in frame 2 (between bases 536 and 942) and two in the reverse strand, in frames 1 (between bases 2143 and 2398) and 2 (between bases 1625 and 1907). These three regions all corresponded to exons predicted by GenelD and also to donor and acceptor sites found by NetGene (see Table 2) . All three exons fell within regions of higher than expected codon preference and GC bias as predicted by CodonPreference analysis. The region around the possible exon in the second frame of the reverse strand was therefore the first one chosen for further study, being the one with the highest probability of being a coding region.
- the whole DNA sequence was also examined for potential transcription factor coding domains and binding sites by searching against the release 6.3 of the Ghosh database using GCG FindPatterns. Although some tentative matches were found a detailed study of the compositions of these and their locations in the three reading frames indicated that these were all very unlikely to be true transcription factor coding regions.
- the translated sequence was also searched against release 10.1 of the Prosite database to search for potential DNA binding regions using the GCG program Motifs, but no homology to previously recorded regions could be identified.
- RNA extracted from cell lines and solid tissue samples was reverse transcribed with viral reverse transcriptase and the cDNA so obtained specifically amplified with primers P1 and P4 designed to anneal to the outer ends of the putative coding region identified by computer analysis between base 951 and 1233 on the reverse strand of the 2858 base pair complete sequence. Samples were also amplified using primers P2 and P4. The PCR products were separated by gel electrophoresis in 1.6% agarose and stained with ethidium bromide for viewing in a U-V transilluminator.
- PCR cycle parameters were as follows: 1 period at 94'C for 4 minutes, followed by 1 period at 82'C for 2 minutes, during which time the Taq enzyme was added, followed by 30 cycles of 92'C for 30 seconds, 60°C for 30 seconds and 70°C for 2 minutes.
- Control studies to monitor the quality of mRNA and the success of cDNA synthesis in the RT-PCR techniques were conducted using 2 ⁇ l aliquots from the same samples amplified with primers to the human ⁇ - actin gene (Clontech Laboratorie Inc., Palo Alto, CA) .
- Footnote ⁇ -actin expression was determined in an aliquot from each sample as a control to evaluate quality of mRNA obtained from the sample TABLE 2
