Project description:Bulk RNA sequencing of sorted peri-pancreatic LN cDC1s from different stages of neoplastic development in the KPC mouse model of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Project description:Recently, Bailey et al (2016, Nature) defined four subtypes of pancreatic cancer that are associated with distinct histopathological characteristics and differential survival, namely, Squamous, Pancreatic Progenitor, Immunogenic, and ADEX (Aberrantly Differentiated Endocrine eXocrine). We set out to assess by RNASeq whether loss of CXCR2 was significantly associated with a specific PDAC subtype. Pancreatic tumors were harvested from KPC or KPC Cxcr2-/- mice at endpoint (n=5 v 5), RNA prepared, and RNASeq analysis carried out. Reads were analysed using the bcbio-nextgen framework (https://bcbio-nextgen.readthedocs.org/en/latest/). After quality control and adaptor trimming, reads were aligned to the mouse genome build (UCSC mouse mm10) using STAR. Counts for known genes were generated using the function featureCounts in the R/Bioconductor package \Rsubread\. The R/Bioconductor package edgeR was used to identify differentially expressed genes.
Project description:We report the application of bulk RNAseq of live cells from pancreas of KPC or KPC-OG genetic mice at 6 weeks of age. These sponteneous tumors were unperturbed otherwise until timepoint.
Project description:22 patients with IDC: 8 without LN metastases (IDC) and 14 with sentinel LN metastases (IDCM). Sampling was limited to 29 paraffin blocks which could be used up without interference with diagnostic procedures: 8 IDCs, 11 IDCMs and 10 ipsilateral LN metastases [5 to the sentinel LN (first in lymph drainage chain, MS) and 5 to more distal (MD)]. 7 IDCMs had samples of their LN metastases (IDCM9,13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19). 3 samples of metastases (MS20, 21, 22) did not have paired primary IDCM samples and 4 IDCMs (IDCM10, 11, 12, 16) did not have samples of their LN metastases. Keywords: Comparative clinical study
Project description:We applied Illumina massively parallel signature sequencing to identify miRNomes in CD11c+Ia high and CD11c+Ia low cells.The miRNomes of these DC subsets will contribute to investigate the significance of miRNAs in DC immunobiology.
