View SamplesThe study outcome was to evaluate the effect of the time on normal colon mucosa samples and possibly select specific genes whose expression is time-related, that could be used as detectors of tissue degradation.

View SamplesFUS-CHOP and EWS-CHOP balanced translocations characterize myxoid liposarcoma which encompasses myxoid (ML) and round cell (RC) variants initially believed to be distinct diseases. Currently, myxoid and RC liposarcoma are regarded to represent the well differentiated and the poorly differentiated ends, respectively, within spectrum of myxoid liposarcoma where the fusion proteins blocking lipogenic differentiation play a role in tumor initiation while molecular determinants associated to progression to RC remain poorly understood. Activation of AKT pathway sustained by PIK3CA and PTEN mutations and growth factor receptor signalling such as RET and IGF1R have been recently correlated with the increasing of aggressiveness and RC. Aim of the present study is to elucidate molecular events involved in driving round cell progression analyzing two small series of MLS selected to be representative of the two end of the gamut: the pure myxoid (0% of RC component) and RC with high cellular component (80%).

View SamplesMass populations of thyrocytes stably expressing wild type RET/PTC1 oncogene or RET/PTC1 carrying Y451F mutation and parental thyrocytes were used for hybridization on Affymetrix HG-U133A and HG-U133B chips. For each cell condition were generated two different targets (indicated as two different samples in the database, i.e. "Parental Thyrocytes" and "Parental Thyrocytes bis")for a total number of six samples. For the data analysis the two samples from the same condition (i.e. Parental thyrocytes) were considered as duplicates.

View SamplesBackground: Estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers (BC) are heterogeneous with regard to their clinical behavior and response to therapies. The ER is currently the best predictor of response to the anti-estrogen agent tamoxifen, yet up to 30-40% of ER+BC will relapse despite tamoxifen treatment. New prognostic biomarkers and further biological understanding of tamoxifen resistance are required. We used gene expression profiling to develop an outcome-based predictor using a training set of 255 ER+ BC samples from women treated with adjuvant tamoxifen monotherapy. We used clusters of highly correlated genes to develop our predictor to facilitate both signature stability and biological interpretation. Independent validation was performed using 362 tamoxifen-treated ER+ BC samples obtained from multiple institutions and treated with tamoxifen only in the adjuvant and metastatic settings.

View SamplesHere we studied the effects of anticonvulsant drug exposure in a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) based neuro- developmental toxicity test (hESTn). During neural differentiation the cells were exposed, for either 1 or 7 days, to non-cytotoxic concentration ranges of valproic acid (VPA) or carbamazepine (CBZ), anti-epileptic drugs known to cause neurodevelopmental toxicity.

View SamplesAbout 10% of Down syndrome (DS) infants are born with a myeloproliferative disorder (DS-TMD) that spontaneously resolves within the first few months of life. About 20-30% of these infants subsequently develop acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (DS-AMKL). In order to understand differences that may exist between fetal and bone marrow megakaryocyte progenitor cell populations we flow sorted megakaryocyte progenitor cells and performed microarray expression analysis.
