Project description:We used NGS on a cohort of complex genetics sarcomas to study their transcriptomes (RNA-seq technology), looking for recurrent and specific gene fusions. We identified multiple TRIO fusions with different partners in our cohort. No TRIO fusions were reported in negative-control cells (normal tissues) and in simple genetics sarcomas.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.
Project description:Post-radiation sarcomas are rare secondary cancers arising from radiation therapies. To date, few genetic specificities have been described for such malignancies and the oncogenesis of sarcomas with complex genetics (both sporadic and post-radiation) remains largely misunderstood. We performed genomic analyses on both sporadic and post-radiation sarcomas to study their copy-number alterations. This analysis is described in Lesluyes et al. 2019 (PMID: 31243333).
