Project description:Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer that often arises in children, adolescents and young adults. At the pathological level, FLC display pure morphology or can present with mixed morphology involving a conventional HCC component. Owing to the rarity of the disease, its genetic landscape is fully unknown. Pure FLC showed less chromosomic aberrations than mixed FLC and hepatocellular carcinoma arising in non-cirrhotic liverﾵ. Nevertheless; they displayed more gains in 16q23 and more LOH in 21q22. We also analyzed the mutational landscape of 8 FLC by whole-exome sequencing and showed mutations in the coagulation pathway.
Project description:To uncover hypoxia-induced miRNA-mRNA interactions landscape in colorectal cancer cell lines we performed integrated miRNA/mRNA sequencing of Caco-2 and HT-29 cells. Hypoxia was chemically induced via 24 h cobalt(II) chloride and oxyquinoline treatments.
Project description:We aimed to decipher human APOBEC3A driven mutational differences in pancreatic tumor in vivo using a genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic cancer. Murine pancreatic tumor formation was driven by p53fl/+;KrasLSL-G12D/+;Pdx1-Cre;Rosa26LSL-YFP (PKCY) and p53fl/+;KrasLSL-G12D/+;Pdx1-Cre; Rosa26LSL-YFP; A3A+/- (A3A PKCY).
Project description:The HASTER promoter region is a cis-regulatory element that stabilizes the transcription of HNF1A, preventing silencing or overexpression. We have generated a mouse model where the promoter of Haster has been specifically deleted in liver (Haster loxP/loxP; AlbCre). In liver the prevailing consequence is upregulation of HNF1A. We performed HNF1A, H3K4me3 and H3K27ac ChIP-seq to assess the impact of HNF1A upregulation on the chromatin landscape of Haster KO liver.
Project description:Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer. Here we characterized the small RNA expression landscape of primary FLC, a FLC patient-derived xenograft model, and normal maturational liver lineage stages
