Project description:Human breast tumours are diverse in their natural history and in their responsiveness to treatments. Variation in transcriptional programs accounts for much of the biological diversity of human cells and tumours. In each cell, signal transduction and regulatory systems transduce information from the cell's identity to its environmental status, thereby controlling the level of expression of every gene in the genome. Here we have characterized variation in gene expression patterns in a set of 65 surgical specimens of human breast tumours from 42 different individuals, using complementary DNA microarrays representing 8,102 human genes. These patterns provided a distinctive molecular portrait of each tumour. Twenty of the tumours were sampled twice, before and after a 16-week course of doxorubicin chemotherapy, and two tumours were paired with a lymph node metastasis from the same patient. Gene expression patterns in two tumour samples from the same individual were almost always more similar to each other than either was to any other sample. Sets of co-expressed genes were identified for which variation in messenger RNA levels could be related to specific features of physiological variation. The tumours could be classified into subtypes distinguished by pervasive differences in their gene expression patterns.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of the canine mammary malignancy. RNA isolated from canine mammary tumours of the 3rd grade of malignancy was pooled and hybrydized on the same microarray as RNA isolated from canine mammary tumours of the 1st grade of malignancy. Based on the results the "malignancy portrait" was assessed.

Project description:Using HiRIEF LC-MS/MS, we analysed 10 GBM tumour tissue samples ran in one TMT10 set. The set consisted of 7 primary tumours and 3 non-matched recurrent tumours. One primary tumour was highly necrotic.

Project description:Set of 65 surgical specimens of human breast tumors from 42 different individuals, using complementary DNA microarrays representing 8,102 human genes. Gene expression variation patterns within this set provided a distinctive molecular portrait of each tumor. Twenty of the tumors were sampled twice, before and after a 16-week course of doxorubicin chemotherapy, and two tumors were paired with a lymph node metastasis from the same patient. Gene expression patterns in two tumor samples from the same individual were almost always more similar to each other than either was to any other sample.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of the canine mammary malignancy. RNA isolated from canine mammary tumours of the 3rd grade of malignancy was pooled and hybrydized on the same microarray as RNA isolated from canine mammary tumours of the 1st grade of malignancy. Based on the results the "malignancy portrait" was assessed. Dye-swap experiment, gene expression in the most malignant canine mammary tumours (the 3rd grade of malignancy) was compared to the less malignant tumours (1st grade of malignancy).

Project description:Abstract Background: Several studies on the use of erythropoietin (Epo) to treat anaemia in patients undergoing cancer treatment have shown adverse effects on tumour control and survival. Experimental studies indicate that this could be linked to an interaction with wound healing processes and not an effect on tumour cells per se. We have previously shown that erythropoietin in combination with surgical trauma stimulates tumour growth. In the present study, we investigated the effect of surgery and Epo on gene expression. Methods: Human tumours from oral squamous cell cancer were xenotransplanted to nude mice treated with Epo. The tumours were then transected in a standardised procedure to mimic surgical trauma and the change in gene expression of the tumours was investigated by microarray analysis. qRT-PCR was used to measure the levels of mRNAs of pro-apoptotic genes. The frequency of apoptosis in the tumours was assessed using immunohistochemistry for caspase-3. Results: There was little change in the expression of genes involved in tumour growth and angiogenesis but a significant down-regulation of the expression of genes involved in apoptosis. This effect on apoptosis was confirmed by a general decrease in the expression of mRNA for selected pro-apoptotic genes. Epo-treated tumours had a significantly lower frequency of apoptosis as measured by immunohistochemistry for caspase 3. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the increased tumour growth during erythropoietin treatment might be due to inhibition of apoptosis, an effect that becomes significant during tissue damage such as surgery. This further suggests that the decreased tumour survival during erythropoietin treatment might be due to inhibition of apoptosis.

Key words: Erythropoietin, Head and neck cancer, surgery, apoptosis, wound healing, xenograft. We wanted to study the effect of wound healing mechanisms on remaining tumour tissue efter incomplete surgery or biopsy. We xenografted human Head and Neck squamous Cell Cancer (HNSCC) tumours on Balb/c nude mice. The mice were divided in six groups. Three of the groups received intrapertoneal doses of erythropoietin (Epo) and the other three groups were given NaCl as placebo. One treated and one non-treated group were harvested without surgical transection. In the other four groups, the tumours were transected mimicking subtotal surgery. One Epo-treated and one non-treated group was analysed after 24 hours after transection and the remaining two groups 48 hours after surgery. Groups C and D were not analyzed due to harvesting at an unsuitable time interval. Group A No surgery (=FALSE) + Epo Group B No surgery (=FALSE) + NaCl Group E Surgery (=TRUE) + Epo 24 hours after surgical transection Group F Surgery (=TRUE) + NaCl 24 hours after surgical resection Group G Surgery (=TRUE) + Epo 48 hours after surgical transection Group H Surgery (=TRUE) + Nacl 48 hours after surgical transection

Project description:DNA methylation is increasingly used for tumour classification and has expanded upon the > 100 currently known brain tumour entities. A correct diagnosis is the basis for suitable treatment for patients with brain tumours, which is the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. DNA methylation profiling is required for diagnosis of certain tumours, and used clinically for paediatric brain tumours in several countries. We therefore evaluated if the methylation-based classification is robust in different locations of the same tumour, and determined how the methylation pattern changed over time to relapse.

Project description:Surgical resection is the first choice of the standardized treatment scheme for glioblastoma and is performed under general anesthesia. Previous researches have shown that propofol and sevoflurane have different effects on the biological process of glioma cells from the molecular level. Some of them, for instance, control the glioma cell proliferation, invasion and migration In vitro or In vivo. We used mRNA microarray to discuss the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on gene expression in patients with glioblastoma. The correlation between DEGs and patients’ prognosis was further analyzed.
