Project description:We investigated the gene expression changes in a library of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models.
Project description:Small cell lungcancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with dismal clinical outcomes, due inpart to the scarcity of post-relapse tissue samples. To understand more of transcriptional changes associated with treatment resistance, we performed RNAseq analysis of 61 SCLC cell lines.
Project description:The goal of this study was to understand how the LSD1 inhibitor RG6016/ORY1001 leads to selective efficacy in subsets of small cell lung cancer. SCLC cell lines, PDX models studied ex vivo and studied in vivo were employed in this analysis
Project description:Even though small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has entered the age of broad genomic analysis, platinum-based chemotherapy remains the standard care for SCLC. Topotecan is the only approved agent for recurrent or progressive SCLC (1). In the absence of well-defined genomic biomarkers, clinical efficacy signals in genomically distinct subsets of SCLC could have been missed. Serine/Arginine Splicing Factor 1 (SRSF1) is a member of SR protein family. The deleterious consequences of overexpression of the SRSF1 proto-oncogene in human cancers suggest that there are complex mechanisms and pathways underlying SRSF1-mediated transformation (2). Whole exome and transcriptome sequencing of primary tumor SCLC from 99 Chinese patients has identified SRSF1 DNA amplification and mRNA over-expression which predicts poor survival in Chinese SCLC patients. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that SRSF1 is essential for tumorigenecity of SCLC and plays a key role in DNA repair and chemo-sensitivity. We did RNAseq on 79 small cell lung cancer patients' tumor sample and 7 normal lung tissue. We normalized the RNAseq data and did differential expression analysis. The deleterious consequences of overexpression of the SRSF1 proto-oncogene in human cancers suggest that there are complex mechanisms and pathways underlying SRSF1-mediated transformation.
