Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer, and its incidence is increasing globally. In this study, Homeobox A9 (HOXA9), a direct target of onco-miR-365, was identified to be significantly down-regulated in CSCC tumors and cell lines. We conducted RNA sequencing to characterize gene expression changes in HOXA9-silenced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells（A431）.
Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer, and its incidence is increasing globally. In this study, metastasis-associated in lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), a long non-coding RNA, was identified to be significantly up-regulated in CSCC tumors and cell lines. We conducted RNA sequencing to characterize gene expression changes in MALAT1-silenced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells (A431).
Project description:Keratinocyte-derived cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer, and its incidence is increasing globally. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various biological processes, and their role in cancer progression is emerging. Whole transcriptome analysis of cSCC cells (n=8) and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs, n=4) revealed overexpression of long intergenic ncRNA (LINC00162) in cSCC cells (GSE66412). We wanted to futher study the RNA expression profile of LINC00162 knockdown cSCC cells. Based on our observations, LINC00162 was named PICSAR (P38 Inhibited Cutaneous Squamous cell carcinoma Associated lincRNA).
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. The Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChips 850K has been used to interrogate DNA methylation changes. The cohort included 23 patients in total, with precursors of squamous cell carcinoma (actinic keratosis group) and with cSCC at different stages.
Project description:The expression of lncRNAs in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) were determined with a commercially available microarray (Arraystar Inc.,Rockville, Maryland USA). The Arraystar human lncRNA Microarray V3.0 containing 30,586 LncRNAs and 26,109 coding transcripts (mRNAs) A total of three patients with cSCC were biopsied. A total of three control (non-lesional skin) were biopsied.
Project description:The incidence of keratinocyte-derived skin cancer, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is increasing worldwide making it the second most common metastatic skin cancer. We used microarrays to characterize gene expression profile in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and cSCC cell lines. Total RNAs from normal human epidermal keratinocytes (n=5) and cSCC cell lines (n=8) were extracted. The samples were processed for Affymetrix 3´ IVT Express Kit according to manufacture’s protocol.
Project description:The incidence of keratinocyte-derived skin cancer, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is increasing worldwide making it the second most common metastatic skin cancer. In this project we used SOLiD next generation sequencing to characterize gene expression profiles in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and cSCC cell lines. Total RNAs from normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) (n=4) and cSCC cell lines (n=8) were extracted. The samples were sequenced using SOLiD next generation sequencing.
Project description:This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label multicenter study evaluating NKTR-255 as a monotherapy and together with cetuximab in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colorectal carcinoma (CRC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), anal cell carcinoma (ASCC) and cervical cancer. The recommended phase 2 dose of NKTR-255, determined in the dose escalation phase (Phase 1b), will be used to treat patients in Phase 2 of this study.
