| Correlation between epigenome and transcriptome in cancer | The complexity of the mammalian cells is largely driven by the heritable genome constrained by epigenetic mechanism to regulate the expression of genes in different cellular contexts. This enables the cells to acquire the necessary functions for differentiation and proliferation. Based on the casual relationship between methylation and gene expression it is generally accepted that hyper- and hypo-methylation of promoter regions should essentially be reflected in decreased and increased expression of corresponding genes respectively. Therefore in principle the reciprocal relationship between differential gene expression and epigenomic alterations can be investigated through the integration of ChIP-seq, methylomics and RNA-seq data. Whether a concordant or discordant relationship between methylation and gene-expression exist in cancer will be the focus of this sub-projetc. The sub-project will also focus on the mechanisms that underlie the relationship between epigenome and transcriptome in cancer cells/tissues. These fundamental features of cancer cells/tissues can only be solved by harnessing the power of multi-OMICS technology. | |
| Concordance and discordance of transcriptome-to-proteome correlation in cancer | Although this multi-OMICS strategy is already in use to decipher molecular intricacy and mechanistic views of cancer pathophysiology, there are some fundamental questions which remain unanswered till date. For example, it is now accepted that mRNA and protein levels are not correlated in mammalian systems. Whether this poor/moderate correlation is increased (or decreased) in a cancer context is unknown. Similarly whether a constant protein-to-mRNA ratio for a given gene within epithelial cells of different tissues changes upon cancerous transformation remains unresolved. In this sub-project these fundamental questions will be investigated to be able to harness the full potential of the integration of multi-OMICS studies. Besides this this sub-project will focus on, whether the protein-to-mRNA ratios change or remain constant over time in highly evolving cells such as tumor cells. | |
| Translational systems biology of cancer chemo and immunotherapy | Systems biology approach has the potential to develop effective strategies to administer personalized cancer therapy. The aim of this sub-project is to develop predictive models that will be particularly beneficial to select patients based on personalized multi-OMICS data who are most likely to benefit from targeted therapies. In summary with systems biology models driven by multi-OMICS data we seek to increase the onco-drug efficacy and overcome the chemo/immuno-therapy resistance phenotype of cancer cells rendering them vulnerable to targeted therapies and ultimately to improve quality of life of patients. | |
| Multi-OMICS data driven molecular onco-systems biology | With powerful computational tools one can identify the link between genomic and epigenomic signatures with differentially expressed mRNAs and proteins that are associated with a cellular perturbation. Integration of multi-OMICS data provides a platform to link the genomic/epigenomic alterations to interconnected transcriptome and proteome networks, which underlie the cellular response to a perturbation. The project will focus on models that can deal with thousands of mRNA and protein changes in a dynamic manner. |
