Project description:<p>We performed whole exome sequencing data of pre-treatment glioblastoma specimens, matched to post-treatment recurrent intracranial autopsy samples and metastatic extracranial post-treatment autopsy samples. We identified early genetic events common to the evolutionary ancestry of both pre-treatment glioblastoma and later recurrences. We demonstrated that there were no protein-coding mutations as recurrent truncal events across the majority of the cohort. In contrast, we identified four truncal non-coding genomic alterations that likely represent the precursor cell population of glioblastoma.</p>
Project description:1,322 morphologically unidentified fragmentary bone specimens were analyzed using MALDI-TOF and a subset of 341 bone specimens with LC-MS/MS in order to characterize their proteome for species identification and potential hominin specimens related to the LRJ transitional period derived from the site Ilsenhöhle Ranis, Germany (50°39.7563’N, 11°33.9139’E).
Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the French National League Against Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net ) 25 glioblastoma multiforme tumors hybridized on Illumina SNP and Affymetrix gene expression arrays. Project leader : François DUCRAY (francois.ducray@chu-lyon.fr). CIT Analysis : Julien LAFFAIRE (laffairej@ligue-cancer.net). Note: PFS : progression-free survival, OS: Overall Survival,BCNU : Carmustine (chemotherapy agent). RESPONDER: if the patient has shown or not shown a response to the treatment (Bevacizumab (Avastin) plus Irinotecan). Progression during : If the disease has progressed (cancer relapse or patient's death); otherwise (patient is alive without relapse).
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.
