Project description:Canine osteosarcoma cells were observed to undergo extravasation through intrivital imaging. Then the extravasated cells were isolated and established as sublines and compared to control cells using RNA-seq.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE16087: Gene expression profiles of canine osteosarcoma GSE16088: Gene expression profiles of human osteosarcoma GSE16091: Gene expression profiles of human osteosarcoma, set2 Pulmonary metastasis continues to be the most common cause of death in osteosarcoma. Indeed, the 5-year survival for newly diagnosed osteosarcoma patients has not significantly changed in over 20 years. Further understanding of the mechanisms of metastasis and resistance for this aggressive pediatric cancer is necessary. Pet dogs naturally develop osteosarcoma providing a novel opportunity to model metastasis development and progression. Given the accelerated biology of canine osteosarcoma, we hypothesized that a direct comparison of canine and pediatric osteosarcoma expression profiles may help identify novel metastasis-associated tumor targets that have been missed through the study of the human cancer alone. Collectively, these data support the strong similarities between human and canine osteosarcoma and underline the opportunities provided by a comparative oncology approach as a means to improve our understanding of cancer biology and therapy. Two datasets consisting of canine osteosarcoma tumors, canine osteosarcoma cell lines, and three normal tissues and an analogous human dataset were used to define the similarity between human and canine osteosarcoma. A third dataset, human osteosarcoma with outcome data, was then used to suggest that some of the differences between the canine and human osteosarcoma were, perhaps, related to survival.

Project description:The recently developed COXEN method (PMID: 17666531) has been used to successfully extrapolate gene signatures of drug sensitivity across different tumor histotypes. We wanted to explore the utility of COXEN to predict chemosensitivity in canine cancer, specifically if we could extrapolate gene signatures identified in human datasets over to canine osteosarcoma tumors. This dataset of canine osteosarcoma tumor samples has available clinical outcome data after patients had infected limbs amputated and were treated with doxorubicin and/or carboplatin. We performed microarray analysis on this panel of tumor samples for validating our COXEN prediction models for doxorubicin or carboplatin sensitivity.
Project description:Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumours of dogs. Canine osteosarcoma contains a sub-population of cancer stem cells. Here we used canine-specific microarrays to compare the global gene expression profiles of osteosarcoma stem cells to adherent cancer cells and canine mesenchymal stem cells.
