Project description:Genomic and clinical analyses of major amplification events in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma Affymetrix SNP 50K XbaI chips were used to anaylyze 57 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma samples and selected cases were further analyzed using Affymetrix SNP 250K StyI chips
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.
Project description:A series of conditional mouse models of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and spindle cell sarcoma were generated and validated for relavence to corresponding human cancers. Conditional mouse models of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and spindle cell sarcoma were created by activation or deletion of Pax3:Fkhr, p53, Ptch1 or Rb1 genes.
