ABSTRACT: Genome-wide analysis of mRNA expression alterations in Stage III-IV high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients exhibiting clinically defined differences in ascites volume (high volume ascites versus low volume ascites)
Project description:Microarrays were used to examine gene expression changes in the surgical resections of high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients exhibiting clinically distinct levels of ascites volume. The present studies primary aim was to determine if there is a molecular gene expression difference between the patients presenting at time of surgery when high volumes ascites cases were compared to those with low volume ascites. The secondary aim was to determine what relevance this difference, if found, has to previously discovered molecular sub-types of high grade serous ovarian cancer. Total RNA obtained from snap-frozen stage III-IV high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients presenting with low volume (<=200 cc) or high volume (>=1000 cc) ascites volume.

Project description:To identify the potential ovarian cancer stem cell gene expression profile from isolated side population of fresh ascites obtained from women with high-grade advanced stage papillary serous ovarian adenocarcinoma Microarrays were used to interrogate the differentially expressed genes between side population (SP) and main population (MP) isolated from fresh ascites obtained from women with high-grade advanced stage papillary serous ovarian adenocarcinoma, and the results were analyzed by paired T-test using BRB-ArrayTools
Project description:770 genes as well as pathways and deconvoluted immune cell types were determined pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a cohort of 31 stage III-IV high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients, and associations were made with the duration of their platinum-free interval n/a

Project description:This study aimed to generate a new panel of comprehensively, genomically characterized high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) cell line and xenograft models. Multidimensional genomic data were generated and compared between cell lines/xenografts and the tumours they were derived from, indicating the cell lines/xenografts are highly similar to their patient-matched tumours. Cell line/xenograft data were also compared to TCGA ovarian tumours to show the cell lines are good models of clinical HGSOC. Affymetrix SNP 6 arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions on genomic DNA extracted from i) tumour cells purified from ovarian tumour ascites, ii) established cell lines, iii) patient derived xenografts, and iv) lymphoblast lines. Evaluation of the similarity in copy number/methylation/gene expression/mutational profiles of cell lines/tumours/xenografts was performed.
Project description:Primary cells from high grade serous ovarian carcinoma patients, derived from ascites and omentum were sequenced to study signaling networks.
Project description:Glioma tumors arise from normal glial cells (astrocytes). Gliomas are morphologically and clinically classified into four malignancy grades as Grade I, II, III and IV. Grade I and II comprise low grade gliomas that grow slowly, are well differentiated and have a better prognosis and survival compared to grades III and IV. In contrast, grade III-IV lack endothelial proliferation and are highly vascular with a tendency to infiltrate and have areas of extensive necrosis and hypoxia. In the present study, we used iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) - based quantitative proteomic approach followed by online liquid chromatography and high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify differential nuclear proteins enriched with transcriptional regulatory function from three different grades of astrocytoma tumors (WHO Grade II, III and IV) compared to control.
