Project description:We performed the scRNA-seq analysis of 2 primary osteosarcoma tissues ,2 osteosarcoma lymphoid tissues, 4 adjacent tissues of osteosarcoma based on the 10X Genomics platform.
Project description:We utilized murine osteosarcoma cell lines F420 and K7M2. F420 was originally derived from a female C57BL/6 mouse transgenic for a mutant p53 under control of a bone-selective promoter (PMID: 25579177). K7M2 was derived from a spontaneous metastatic lesion in a female Balb/C background (PMID: 16837208). F420 osteosarcoma tumors were established by subcutaneously injecting 5 x 10^6 osteosarcoma cells into the flanks of 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice (Envigo, Frederick, MD). K7M2 tumors were established by transplanting small pieces of sectioned tumor (~2mm3) into the flanks of 6-week-old Balb/C mice (Envigo). We found K7M2 to be more immunogenic than F420 as it demonstrated higher immune cell infiltrates, higher expression of immune-related genes, and slower growth in syngeneic versus nude models.
Project description:Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children, adolescents and young adults. It is a rare cancer type. To obtain a comprehensive view of protein expression in osteosarcoma, quantitative TMT–MS was performed with six pairs of osteosarcoma specimens and adjacent normal tissue.
Project description:To identify OS-specific gene alterations, 38 tumor samples were collected from 29 unique patients with osteosarcoma. We performed RNA-sequencing on 28 primary osteosarcoma tumors and 10 metastatic osteosarcoma tumors. We compared the primary and metastatic genomic signatures of all 38 samples to discover differentially expressed genes.
Project description:The recently developed COXEN method (PMID: 17666531) has been used to successfully extrapolate gene signatures of drug sensitivity across different tumor histotypes. We wanted to explore the utility of COXEN to predict chemosensitivity in canine cancer, specifically if we could extrapolate gene signatures identified in human datasets over to canine osteosarcoma tumors. This dataset of canine osteosarcoma tumor samples has available clinical outcome data after patients had infected limbs amputated and were treated with doxorubicin and/or carboplatin. We performed microarray analysis on this panel of tumor samples for validating our COXEN prediction models for doxorubicin or carboplatin sensitivity.
