Project description:We have examined the both miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in 155 lung adenocarcinoma samples with known EGFR mutation status (52 mutated and 103 wild-type cases). An integrative analysis was performed to identify the unique miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:We have examined the microRNA expression in 154 lung adenocarcinoma samples and 20 paired normal lung tissue samples and investigated the microRNA expression to clinical variables, EGFR- and KRAS- mutational status and time to progression. 174 samples are analyzed. 154 from lung adenocarcinoma tumor tissue and 20 from paired normal lung tissue samples. No replicates or control samples included.

Project description:KRAS mutations are the ost abundand driver mutations found in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Unfortunately, there are no clinical approved inhibitors available, to directly target mutant forms of KRAS. The aim of the study was to unravel the impact of upstream Egfr activation in signaling of mutated K-ras. We found that upregulation of G12D mutant Kras induced genes was significantly impaired when Egfr was knocked out. Our data suggests that signaling of mutant Kras depends on upstream activation. This finding may be exploited therapeutically by targeting EGFR in KRAS mutant patients.
Project description:Human EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma cell lines HCC4006, HCC827 and PC9 were treated with trametinib or DMSO to assess the impact on transcription.
