Gene expression profiles of Head & Neck Squamous and Lung Squamous Cancers
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis between head & neck squamous cell carcinomas and lung squamous cell carcinomas is often unresolved because the histologic appearance of these two tumor types is similar. In the development of a gene expression profile test (GEP-HN-LS) that distinguishes these 2 cancer types, a collection of poorly differentiated primary and metastatic tumor specimens were used. Here we describe 76 such tumor specimens that were used for validation of GEP-HN-LS. The specimens are either head & neck squamous cell carcinomas or lung squamous cell carcinomas. All tissue specimens were formalin fixed paraffin embedded specimens. Gene expression was profiled using Affymetrix GeneChip platform.

Project description:Genome-wide expression array measurements for 9 head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) stratified by worst pattern of invasion (WPOI) Jayakar et al. (2016). Apolipoprotein E promotes invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Li et al. (2013). Validation of the risk model: high-risk classification and tumor pattern of invasion predict outcome for patients with low-stage oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
Project description:Sage performed on microdissection of Head and Neck tumor, and Head and Neck normal tissue comparative analysis of gene expression profiles of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and Head and Neck normal tissue
Project description:Gene expression patterns of 11 metastazised tumors of the head and neck region were compared to 11 non-metastasized tumors Experiment Overall Design: 11 metastazised head and neck squamous cell carcinomas from 3 regions (mouth, oropharynx, larynx) were compared to 11 non-metastazised tumors on affymetrix arrays
Project description:We show that head and neck squamous cell carcinomas models with deficient H3K36me, induced by H3K36M expression, lead to epigenetic dysregulation.

Comparison of transcription profiles between OSCC tumors with a more invasive (WPOI 5) versus a less invasive (WPOI 3) pattern of invasion using two independent Illumina platforms.
Project description:We used RNA-seq to evaluate the transcriptomic changes induced by permanent SMYD3 KO in the HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines HN-6.
Project description:An experiment was performed to investigate the perservation of gene expression upon metastasis of primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas to the cervical lymph node.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation BeadChip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in fresh-frozen tumor tissues. Samples included 91 tumors from the oralpharynx and larynx, reflecting all stages of disease, 18 normal head and neck National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI) samples, and 213 normal control blood samples. Bisulphite-converted DNA from the 91 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2.
Project description:Oral tongue squamous cell carcinomas (OTSCC) are a homogenous group of aggressive tumors in the head and neck region, with a rising incidence among younger population. The role of altered DNA methylation in OTSCC and its link with clinical parameters has not been fully assessed yet. We performed genome-wide methylation analysis of oral tongue primary tumors (n = 52) using 485, 512 probes and correlated altered methylation with differences in gene expression. We used an ensemble machine-learning algorithm to identify differentially methylated probes and regions predictive of survival, risk habits, nodal status, tumor stage, and HPV infection followed by validation using data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) project on oral tongue (n = 24) and tumors from all subsites of head and neck region (n = 50). Bisulphite converted DNA from the 52 tumor:matched control sample pairs were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip
