Description:
Genotypic differences greatly influence susceptibility and resistance to disease. Understanding genotype-phenotype relationships requires that phenotypes be viewed as manifestations of network properties, rather than simply as the result of individual genomic variations. Genome sequencing efforts have identified numerous germline mutations, and large numbers of somatic genomic alterations, associated with a predisposition to cancer. However, it remains difficult to distinguish background, or 'passenger', cancer mutations from causal, or 'driver', mutations in these data sets. Human viruses intrinsically depend on their host cell during the course of infection and can elicit pathological phenotypes similar to those arising from mutations. Here we test the hypothesis that genomic variations and tumour viruses may cause cancer through related mechanisms, by systematically examining host interactome and transcriptome network perturbations caused by DNA tumour virus proteins. The resulting integrated viral perturbation data reflects rewiring of the host cell networks, and highlights pathways, such as Notch signalling and apoptosis, that go awry in cancer. We show that systematic analyses of host targets of viral proteins can identify cancer genes with a success rate on a par with their identification through functional genomics and large-scale cataloguing of tumour mutations. Together, these complementary approaches increase the specificity of cancer gene identification. Combining systems-level studies of pathogen-encoded gene products with genomic approaches will facilitate the prioritization of cancer-causing driver genes to advance the understanding of the genetic basis of human cancer.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3408847/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3408847/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rozenblatt-Rosen, Orit -- Deo, Rahul C -- Padi, Megha -- Adelmant, Guillaume -- Calderwood, Michael A -- Rolland, Thomas -- Grace, Miranda -- Dricot, Amelie -- Askenazi, Manor -- Tavares, Maria -- Pevzner, Samuel J -- Abderazzaq, Fieda -- Byrdsong, Danielle -- Carvunis, Anne-Ruxandra -- Chen, Alyce A -- Cheng, Jingwei -- Correll, Mick -- Duarte, Melissa -- Fan, Changyu -- Feltkamp, Mariet C -- Ficarro, Scott B -- Franchi, Rachel -- Garg, Brijesh K -- Gulbahce, Natali -- Hao, Tong -- Holthaus, Amy M -- James, Robert -- Korkhin, Anna -- Litovchick, Larisa -- Mar, Jessica C -- Pak, Theodore R -- Rabello, Sabrina -- Rubio, Renee -- Shen, Yun -- Singh, Saurav -- Spangle, Jennifer M -- Tasan, Murat -- Wanamaker, Shelly -- Webber, James T -- Roecklein-Canfield, Jennifer -- Johannsen, Eric -- Barabasi, Albert-Laszlo -- Beroukhim, Rameen -- Kieff, Elliott -- Cusick, Michael E -- Hill, David E -- Munger, Karl -- Marto, Jarrod A -- Quackenbush, John -- Roth, Frederick P -- DeCaprio, James A -- Vidal, Marc -- F32 GM095284/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- F32GM095284/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- K08 CA122833/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K08 HL098361/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K08HL098361/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K25 HG006031/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- K25HG006031/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA050661/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01CA050661/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 HG004233/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P50HG004233/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA047006/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA063113/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA066980/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA081135/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA085180/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA093804/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA131354/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG001715/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA047006/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA063113/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA066980/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA081135/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA085180/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA093804/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA131354/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01HG001715/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL007208/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- T32HL007208/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA141583/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01CA141583/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Jul 26;487(7408):491-5. doi: 10.1038/nature11288.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Genomic Analysis of Network Perturbations Center of Excellence in Genomic Science, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22810586" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
