Project description:Here we have used four enchondromas and two chondrosarcomas of Maffucci patients. We also had one normal sample available for paired analysis in one of the chondrosarcoma II. We did not find any LOH or coomon copy number variation in all Maffucci enchondromas while chondrosarcomas are genetically unstable. Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array was performed using 4 EC and 2CS of Maffucci patients. Illumina expression v3 array was possible to perform using only 1 EC and 2 CS due to rarity of the disease. For SNP array, we used 29 control samples submitted previously (GSE22965) to creat baseline.
Project description:Mutations in the PTH1R gene were reported but these mutations are limited to a small subgroup of patients. The etiology of Ollier disease is unknown. We therefore undertook genome-wide copy number and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays on 37 tumors of 28 Ollier patients in combination with expression array using Illumina Beadarray v3.0 for 7 tumors of 6 patients. We used Affymetrix SNP 6.0 to find out LOH and copy number alterations in Ollier tumors. To understand the genetic mechanism behind the development of enchondroma, we mainly focus on enchondromas and found alterations were validated. We used 14 enchondromas and 23 chondrosarcomas of 28 Ollier patients. We also used 30 controls (blood, saliva or frozen tissue). As controls, normal DNA derived from fresh frozen muscle tissue (n=3), peripheral blood lymphocytes (n=4) or saliva (n=4) was available for 11 Ollier patients and 3 patients with unrelated bone diseases. We used blood lymphocyte DNA from 12 healthy controls and 1 HapMap sample. We also isolated DNA from saliva for 3 of these controls to validate the use of saliva DNA in this study.

Project description:Development of a new carcinoma cell line (HC-AFW1) derived from a pediatric liver tumor The cell line HC-AFW1 was derived from a 4 year old boy suffering from HCC through culturing and passage into immuno-deficient mice. The cell line is stable now for over 8 months of culture with a doubling time of 40 h. The tumor cells show an epithelial histology and express hepatoma proteins such as Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Glypican 3, E-cadherin, CD10, CD326, HepPar1, Vimentin and Desmin. Catenin beta shows a deletion of 49 amino acids in the exon 3 involving the phosphorylation sites of GSK3 and is detectable in the cell nuclei. Cytogenetic analysis revealed large anomalies in the chromosomal map including chromosomal aberrations found in hepatoblastoma as well as in adult HCC. Copy number analysis of two different passages of HC-AFW1 cells Two tumor specimens were used for tissue culture and xenotransplantation into NSG mice. Tumor cells derived from xenografts were cultured and designated as HC-AFW1. DNA was analyzed from the passage 2 (2P2). HC-AFW2 was derived from tissue culture without transfer in to mice. Primary tissue samples were minced into pieces of 3x3 mm and cultured on 6 well plates (Becton Dickenson, Frankfurt, Germany) in DMEM (GIBCO BRL, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% FCS (growth medium). Cell cultures were maintained in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 at 37°C. For subculturing cells were detached from the culture surface using accutase in Dulbecco´s PBS containing 0.5mM EDTA (PAA Laboratories GmbH, Cölbe, Germany) for 2-3 minutes at 37°C. A sub-cultivation ratio of 1:4 and 1:6 was performed twice per week. Cells were stored in liquid nitrogen as a suspension in complete growth medium with 10% DMSO. DNA from patient blood and tumor samples was isolated with the QiaAmp DNA mini Kit according to manufacturer's instructions (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and copy number polymorphism (CNP) genotyping were performed using the Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 and Genotyping Console (GTC) software (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).
Project description:A subset of ovarian cancer are characterized by 19q12 amplification. To perform funtional studies of this amplicon the profile has been determined by SNP analysis. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on genomic DNA extracted from ovarian cancer cell lines OVCAR-3 and FU-OV-1
Project description:Alterations of the short arm of chromosome 12 (12p) occur in various hematological malignancies and ETV6 and CDKN1B, which are located on 12p, have been implicated as leukemogenic genes of interest. Design and Methods: We selected 7 patients with myeloid malignancies and small 12p deletions by FISH encompassing only the region centromeric of ETV6 and further evaluated them by SNP microarrays. Results: The minimal deleted region (MDR) contained nine genes only. These genes were subsequently analyzed by microarray expression profiling in an independent cohort of 781 cases mostly with different hematological malignancies or without any hematological malignancy: CREBL2, MANSC1, and CDKN1B were expressed in >25% of cases, while the other 6 genes were expressed in a minority of cases only. As CDKN1B is a cell cycle regulator and functions as a tumor suppressor gene, this gene was selected for further expression studies in 286 AML patients. In cases with low CDKN1B expression (expression level <1,160; 1st quartile), RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (11/83; 13.3%; vs. 5/203; 2.5%; p=0.001), PML-RARA rearrangements (11/83; 13.3%; vs. 4/203; 2.0%; p<0.001), 11q23/MLL rearrangements (6/83; 7.2%; vs. 4/203; 2.0%; p=0.038), and FLT3-TKD mutations (7/63; 11.1% vs. 6/167; 3.6%; p=0.047) were more frequently observed than in patients with intermediate/high expression (2nd-4th quartiles). Low CDKN1B expressers had longer median OS and EFS (not reached vs. 14.9 months; p=0.005 and 31.0 vs. 9.7 months; p=0.013, respectively) than intermediate/high expressers. Conclusions: CDKN1B is an interesting candidate gene as a potential biomarker for acute myeloid leukemia prognostication. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions using DNA extracted from mononuclear cells after Ficoll density centrifugation from bone marrow or peripheral blood samples.
Project description:The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) project is a collaboration between the Broad Institute, the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research and the Genomics Novartis Foundation to conduct a detailed genetic and pharmacologic characterization of a large panel of human cancer models It consists of a compilation of gene expression, chromosomal copy number, and massively parallel sequencing data from nearly 1,000 human cancer cell lines. All raw and processed data are available through an integrated portal on www.broadinstitute.org/ccle The final cell line collection spans 36 cancer types. Representation of cell lines for each cancer type was mainly driven by cancer mortality in the United States, as a surrogate of unmet medical need, as well as availability.
Project description:The frequent occurrence of persistent or relapsed disease following induction chemotherapy in AML necessitates a better understanding of the clonal relationship of AML in various disease phases. In this study, we employed SNP 6.0 array-based genomic profiling of acquired copy number aberrations (aCNA) and copy neutral LOH (cnLOH) together with sequence analysis of recurrently mutated genes to characterize paired AML genomes. We analyzed 28 AML sample pairs from patients that achieved complete remission with chemotherapy and subsequently relapsed and 11 sample pairs from patients with persistent disease following induction chemotherapy. Through review of aCNA/cnLOH and gene mutation profiles in informative cases we demonstrate that relapsed AML invariably represents reemergence or evolution of a founder clone. Furthermore, all individual aCNA or cnLOH detected at presentation persisted at relapse indicating that this lesion type is proximally involved in AML evolution. Analysis of informative paired persistent AML disease samples uncovered cases with two coexisting dominant clones of which at least one was chemotherapy sensitive and one resistant, respectively. These data support the conclusion that incomplete eradication of AML founder clones rather than stochastic emergence of fully unrelated novel clones underlies AML relapse and persistence with direct implications for clinical AML research This study is based on 39 patients with AML for which either paired enrollment or relapse samples or persistent disease samples were available. The patients were enrolled into this study at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board (IRBMED #2004-1022) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment. Genomic DNA was extracted from purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells. DNA thus obtained was hybridized to Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays. Note: There is no normal sample available for MIAML015.
Project description:Analysis of DNA from fixed tissues specimens of 58 primary uveal melanomas, with known clinical outcome, to determine gene copy number variations that were associated with survival. Abstract: Uveal melanomas can be stratified into subgroups with high or low risk of metastatic death, according to the presence of gross chromosomal abnormalities. Where a monosomy 3 uveal melanoma is detected, patient survival at three years is reduced to 50%. However, approximately 5% of patients with a disomy 3 tumour ultimately develop metastasis, and a further 5% of monosomy 3 uveal melanoma patients’ exhibit disease-free survival for more than five years. Despite extensive knowledge of the chromosomal abnormalities occurring in uveal melanoma, the genes driving metastasis are not well defined. Gene copy number variations occurring in a well-characterised cohort of 58 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded uveal melanoma samples were identified using the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 whole genome microarray. Four genetic sub-groups of primary uveal melanoma were represented in the patient cohort: 1) disomy 3 with long-term survival; 2) metastasizing disomy 3; 3) metastasizing monosomy 3; and 4) monosomy 3 with long-term survival. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis identified three genes that were associated with differences in patient survival. Patients with an amplification of CNKSR3 (6q) or RIPK1 (6p) demonstrated longer survival than those with gene deletions or no copy number change (log rank, p=0.022 and p<0.001, respectively). Conversely, those patients with an amplification of PENK (8q) showed reduced survival (log rank p<0.001). CNKSR3, RIPK1 and PENK are novel candidate metastasis regulatory genes in uveal melanoma. This is the first report of amplification of a specific gene on 6p that is associated with improved uveal melanoma patient survival and suggests that the development of uveal melanomas with a propensity to metastasise may be limited by genes on 6p. 58 samples in total. Ten disomy 3 with long-term survival. Fifteen disomy 3 with metastasising. Seventeen monosomy 3 with long-term survival. Sixteen monosomy 3 metastasising.
