Project description:Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an aggressive sarcoma. Comprehensive proteomic profiles of 23 MPNST tumor specimens were obtained using LC-MS/MS. Among 23 tumor specimens, 13 patients showed favorable prognosis and 10 did local recurrence/distant metastasis.
Project description:We performed a genome-wide CRISPRi screen to identify potential contributors to radioresistance in the JH02.2 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) cell line.
Project description:Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are benign nerve sheath Schwann cell tumors, common in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), that are characterized by biallelic mutations in the NF1 tumor suppressor gene. Atypical neurofibromas (ANF) show additional frequent loss of CDKN2A/Ink4a/Arf and may be precursor lesions of aggressive malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). We combined loss of Nf1 in developing
