Project description:HLA Class I immunopeptides were affinity purified by W6/32 antibody and analyzed by Orbitrap Fusion Lumos with FAIMS. Personalized database which includes patient-specific somatic mutations obtained from whole exome sequencing (WES) data was used for database search. Identification results were filtered at 1% FDR thresholds by searching against a randomized decoy database using Proteome Discoverer 2.4 (Sequest HT).

Project description:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common malignant disorder in childhood, is typically associated with numerical chromosomal aberrations, fusion genes or small focal deletions, thought to represent important pathogenetic events in the development of the leukemia. Mutations, such as single nucleotide changes, have also been reported in childhood ALL, but these have only been studied by sequencing a small number of candidate genes. Herein, we report the first unbiased sequencing of the whole exome of two cases of pediatric ALL carrying the ETV6/RUNX1 (TEL/AML1) fusion gene (the most common genetic subtype) and corresponding normal samples. A total of 14 somatic mutations were identified, including four and seven protein-altering nucleotide substitutions in each ALL. Twelve mutations (86%) occurred in genes previously described to be mutated in other types of cancer, but none was found to be recurrent in an extended series of 29 ETV6/RUNX1-positive ALLs. The number of single nucleotide mutations was similar to the number of copy number alterations as detected by single nucleotide polymorphism arrays. Although the true pathogenetic significance of the mutations must await future functional evaluations, this study provides a first estimate of the mutational burden at the genetic level of t(12;21)-positive childhood ALL. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from 2 leukemic bone marrow samples and two corresponding normal blood samples.

Illumina SNP-array genotyping was performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from 2 leukemic bone marrow samples and two corresponding normal blood samples. The genotype data from the arrays were used for quality assesment of genotype data from high throughput sequencing.
Project description:To explore the correlation between gene mutations of metastatic colorectal cancer and TCM syndrome types based on Second-generation sequencing technology.
Project description:Single cells from ML-DS sample 186-2 (bone marrow) were analysed to determine whether mutations in JAK2 and CSF2RB ocurred in the same or different cells in this patient. Single live, CD19neg, CD3neg, CD45mid and CD117 positive cells were sorted into 96-well plates on the BD Fusion with antibodies as described above. Cord blood single cells were sorted similarly to serve as a control for the single cell Sequencing.
Project description:Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a heterogeneous disease generally associated with poor prognosis. Gene expression profiles indicate the existence of distinct molecular subgroups, and several genetic alterations have been characterized in the past years, including the t(1;22)(p13;q13) and the trisomy 21 associated with GATA1 mutations. However, the majority of patients do not present known mutations, and the limited access to primary patient leukemic cells impedes the efficient development of novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, using a xenotransplantation approach, we have modeled human pediatric AMKL in immunodeficient mice. Analysis of high-throughput RNA sequencing identified recurrent fusion genes defining new molecular subgroups.
