Project description:Primary mediastinal liposarcoma (MLPS) is an extremely rare tumor with unclear molecular biology. We conducted RNA sequencing in five cases of MLPS and compared gene expression between dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) and well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS). Enrichment analyses and immune cell deconvolution revealed that DDLPS showed features of dedifferentiation, cell cycle activation, Wnt signaling, and immune-cold status. This dataset provides the first transcriptomic landscape of primary MLPS and offers insight into potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Doxorubicin is considered one of the most potent established chemotherapeutics in the treatment of liposarcoma; however, the response rates usually below 30%, are still disappointing. This study was performed to identify gene expression changes in liposarcoma after doxorubicin treatment. Cells of 19 primary human liposarcoma were harvested intraoperatively and brought into cell culture. Cells were incubated with doxorubicin for 24 h, RNA was isolated and differential gene expression was analysed by the microarray technique. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression changes following doxorubicin treatment of primary liposarcoma cell cultures Experiment Overall Design: We compared untreated primary cell cultures obtained from liposarcoma treated with doxorubicin treated cultures to determine global gene expression changes by microarray analysis

Project description:In order to identify new key molecules in the pathogenesis of myxoid liposarcoma, we performed comparative gene expression profiling in myxoid liposarcoma and fat tissue samples. Whole genome microarray analysis was performed on eight primary myxoid liposarcoma samples and an RNA pool of eight healthy fat tissue samples.
Project description:Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma, accounting for about 20% of cases. Liposarcoma is classified into 5 histologic subtypes that fall into 3 biological groups characterized by specific genetic alterations. To identify genes that contribute to liposarcomagenesis and to better predict outcome for patients with the disease, we undertook expression profiling of liposarcoma. U133A expression profiling was performed on 140 primary liposarcoma samples, which were randomly split into training set (n=95) and test set (n=45). A multi-gene predictor for distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) was developed using the supervised principal component method. Expression levels of the 588 genes in the predictor were used to calculate a risk score for each patient. In validation of the predictor in the test set, patients with low risk score had a 3-year DRFS of 83% vs. 45% for high risk score patients (P=0.001). The hazard ratio for high vs. low score, adjusted for histologic subtype, was 4.42 (95% confidence interval 1.26-15.55; P=0.021). The concordance probability for risk score was 0.732. Genes related to adipogenesis, DNA replication, mitosis, and spindle assembly checkpoint control were all highly represented in the multi-gene predictor. Three genes from the predictor, TOP2A, PTK7, and CHEK1, were found to be overexpressed in liposarcoma samples of all five subtypes and in liposarcoma cell lines. Knockdown of these genes in liposarcoma cell lines reduced proliferation and invasiveness and increased apoptosis. Thus, genes identified from this predictor appear to have roles in liposarcomagenesis and have promise as therapeutic targets. In addition, the multi-gene predictor will improve risk stratification for individual patients with liposarcoma.

Project description:We recently reported a truncating deletion in the NFKBIE gene, which encodes IκBε, a negative feedback regulator of NF-κB, in clinically aggressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Preliminary data indicate enrichment of NFKBIE aberrations in other lymphoid malignancies, hence we screened a large patient cohort (n=1460) diagnosed with different lymphoid neoplasms. We observed a a remarkably high frequency of NFKBIE aberrations (46/203 cases, 22,7%) in primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL). The deletion was associated with a particular aggressive clinical course and reduced survival in multivariate analysis. With gene expression profiling (GEP) via the NanoString nCounter hybridization system and the NanoString GX Human PanCancer Pathway Panel including 30 additional custom genes, the aim of this analysis was to study the differential activation of various oncogenic pathways including NFKB-signaling in NFKBIE mutated vs. non-mutated PMBL.
Project description:Single-cell multiomic profiling were performed to characterize the cellular and regulatory heterogeneity of liposarcoma (LPS), including well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) and de-differentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS), which exhibit markedly different clinical behaviors. Integrated scRNA and scATAC were used to resolve tumor cell states, gene regulatory programs, and tumor microenvironment composition across LPS subtypes. The results reveal distinct differentiation landscapes, with DDLPS enriched for progenitor-like mesenchymal cells, sclerotic WDLPS displaying broader lineage plasticity, and adipocytic WDLPS dominated by terminally differentiated adipocytes. Analysis of the tumor microenvironment further demonstrates differences in immune composition, with DDLPS enriched for immunosuppressive macrophages. Sclerotic WDLPS exhibits intermediate cellular and molecular features between the two subtypes. Together, these datasets provide a comprehensive resource describing the transcriptional, epigenomic, and microenvironmental diversity of liposarcoma.
