Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a prevalent malignancyt disease in Southeast Asia among the Chinese population. Aberrant regulation of transcripts has been implicated in many types of cancers including NPC. Herein, we characterized mRNA and miRNA transcriptomes by RNA sequencing (RNASeq) of NPC model systems. Overall design: Matched total mRNA and small RNA of undifferentiated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive NPC xenograft X666 and its derived cell line C666, well-differentiated NPC cell line HK1, and the immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP460 have been sequenced by Solexa technology.
Integrated mRNA and microRNA transcriptome sequencing characterizes sequence variants and mRNA-microRNA regulatory network in nasopharyngeal carcinoma model systems.

View SamplesType I low-grade gliomas (LGGs), characterized by 1p/19q co-deletions and IDH1/2 mutations, show superior overall survival compared to other gliomas. Approximately 70% of cases harbour mutations in the Capicua (CIC) gene, whose product is a transcriptional repressor whose transcriptional network has yet to be extensively studied in human cells. To address this, we developed CIC knockout cell lines and used transcriptome analyses to study the consequences of CIC loss. Results were further compared to data for Type I LGGs and stomach adenocarcinomas from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We find that CIC appears to regulate the expression of genes involved in cell-cell adhesion and nervous system development. CIC deficiency is also found to be associated with a MEK activation transcriptional signature and to act as an effector of MEK signalling. Loss of CIC may thus present a novel mechanism for the dysregulation of this and other oncogenic pathways.
Comparative transcriptome analysis of isogenic cell line models and primary cancers links capicua (CIC) loss to activation of the MAPK signalling cascade.

View SamplesHere, we characterized the transcriptome of MCs under steady state, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized and anti-IgE-treated conditions. Overall design: MCs were left untreated or sensitized overnight with myeloma-IgE (0.5 µg/ml) and treated with anti-IgE (1 µg/ml) for 2h. RNA was isolated with Trizol and RNeasy columns and RNA-seq was performed.

View SamplesOvarian cancer is the fifth most common form of cancer in women in the United States. Among different types of ovarian cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common and is highly lethal, however, prognostic and predictive markers, which can be used to predict chemoresponse and patient survival, have not been thoroughly explored. One critically important yet often overlooked component to the tumor progression process is the tumor microenvironment. Primarily composed of fibroblasts and extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) as well as endothelial cells and lymphocytic infiltrate, the tumor microenvironment has been shown to directly affect cell growth, migration, and differentiation through secreted proteins, cell-cell interactions and matrix remodeling (Tlsty and Coussens, 2006). The tumor microenvironment has the potential to promote tumor initiation of normal epithelial cells and facilitate progression of malignant cells, thereby, presenting a unique approach to diagnosing, understanding and treating cancer. Using a whole-genome oligonucleotide array platform to perform transcriptome profiling on the fibroblastic stromal component microdissected from a series of advanced stage high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinomas, we identified a transcriptome signature for the ovarian cancer associated fibroblast (CAF). We further functionally characterized one of the identified genes, MFAP5, and we showed that stromal MFAP5 is a prognostic marker associated with poor patient survival. In addition to that, to investigate the signaling machanism and the effect of MFAP5 treatment on ovarian cancer cells, transcriptome profiling of MFAP5 treated OVCA432 high-grade serous ovarian cancer cells was performed. Further functional studies showed that stromal MFAP5 modulated ovarian cancer cell motility and invasion potential.

Overall design: RNAseq was performed on individual CFU-GM with shRNA-mediated PRR14L knockdown and scramble control to study the effects of PRR14L knockdown on the transcriptome of hematopoietic cells differentiated towards the granulomonocytic lineage.
PRR14L mutations are associated with chromosome 22 acquired uniparental disomy, age-related clonal hematopoiesis and myeloid neoplasia.

View SamplesWe have analyzed gene expression microarray datasets from four different clinical trials to assess accuracy of gene expression based signature in predicting treatment complete response in patients with multiple myeloma. Two of four datasets were made available via The Intergroupe Francophone du Mylome (IFM) group, and remaining two datasets were downloaded from NCBI GEO portal with accession IDs: GSE19784 (HOVON65/GMMG-HD4 trial) and GSE9782 (APEX/SUMMIT trial). Analysis UUID: datasets_archive--2afcd42a-7e12-11e3-9145-5fcc1e060548--15-Jan-2014-12-23-44-CST.
Gene expression profile alone is inadequate in predicting complete response in multiple myeloma.
