Project description:We analyzed ten adenoid cystic carcinomas of head and neck by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) using DNA chips spotted 4,030 BAC clones. After data smoothing by the adaptive weights smoothing (AWS) procedure with the gain and loss analysis of DNA (GLAD) algorithm, a total of 89 DNA copy number aberrations (DSCNAs) were detected. The frequent (≥30%) DSCNAs were loss of 6q24, 6q25, 8p23, 6q25, and 6q23 and gains of 6q23, 8p23, 9p11-13, and 22q13. High-level gain was detected on 12q12-15 including MDM2 in two cases. These two cases showed immunohistochemically positive status of MDM2 and negative status of p53 and p21. Furthermore, the total number of DSCNAs was significantly greater in ACC with loss of 6q than in other ACC, in ACC without loss of 8p23 than in other ACC, and in ACC with 8p23 gain than in ACC with 8p23 loss, respectively. Though there is a limit in the evidence, a-CGH detected several candidate chromosomal imbalances associated with DSCNA accumulation in ACC. 6q loss, 12q gain aCGH DNA copy number aberrations screening in human cancer adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).
Project description:In a previous study of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast (see GEO accession #GSE7882) we identified six genes at chromosome 17q21.33 that were over-expressed in high grade cases, and showed a correlation between expression level and gene copy number. The aim of this study was to determine whether potential drivers of high grade breast cancer growth could be identified at 17q21.33. High resolution comparative genomic hybridisation was used to interrogate genomic aberrations in laser capture microdissected samples of ductal carcinoma in situ.
Project description:Gene expression array analysis on a series of ten different histological special types of invasive breast carcinomas (tubular, micropapillary, mucinous A, mucinous B, endocrine, apocrine, metaplastic, medullary, adenoid cystic, invasive ductal carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells) and invasive lobular carcinoma.<br><br>Note: this experiment was reloaded into ArrayExpress in August 2010 to include mappings between raw and processed data files. It now includes additional dye-swap combined normalized data files.
Project description:We performed spatial transcriptomics of a tumor section from a patient post-treatment with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
Project description:Lung metastasis is a major factor affecting long-term survival in adenoid cystic carcinoma patients. Here, we report the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MRPL23 antisense RNA 1 (MRPL23-AS1), which exhibited remarkably upregulated expression and was correlated with lung metastasis and overall survival in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) patients. To further study which biological process MRPL23-AS1 may be involved in, SACC-83 cells treated with the control vector or MRPL23-AS1-overexpressing vector were subjected to an mRNA microarray. GO analysis was used to identify the significant biological functions of differentially expressed mRNAs.

GO analysis was used to identify the significant biological functions of differentially expressed mRNAs.
