Project description:In this study, we investigated CNAs of 59 tumor samples from 27 patients with submucosal-invasive gastric cancers (SMGC) by 44k oligonucleotide-based array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH).
Project description:In this study, we investigated CNAs of 59 tumor samples from 27 patients with submucosal-invasive gastric cancers (SMGC) by 44k oligonucleotide-based array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH). 23 mucosal portion of SMGC vs 23 paired submucosal (SM) portion of SMGC, 9 SM portion vs 9 paired lymph node (LN) metastasis, 12 SMGC with LN metastasis vs 15 SMGC without LN metastasis
Project description:Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a nonobligate precursor of invasive breast cancer. Its biological features, particularly its intratumoral heterogeneity, remain obscure. Moreover, mechanism of lymph node metastasis is unclear. To address this deficiency, we performed single-cell transcriptome profiling of DCIS, invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and lymph node metastasis. Single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed that breast cancer exhibits intratumoral heterogeneity at the transcriptional level, defining specific functions, and that DCIS has similar heterogeneity to IDC.
Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-induced mortality with poor prognosis with metastasis. However, the mechanism of gastric carcinoma lymph node metastasis remains unknown due to traditional bulk-leveled approaches mask roles of subpopulations. To answer questions from the gastric carcinoma intratumoral perspective in the metastasis, we performed single-cell level analysis on three gastric cancer patients with primary cancer and paired metastatic lymph node cancer tissues using scRNA-seq. Results showed distinct carcinoma profiles from each patient, and diverse microenvironmental subsets were shared by a different patient. Clustering data showed significant intratumoral heterogeneity. Results also revealed a subgroup of cells bridging the metastatic group and primary group, implying the transition state of cancer during the metastatic process. In the present study we obtained a more comprehensive picture over gastric cancer lymph node metastasis, and we discovered some GC lymph node metastasis marker genes (ERBB2, CLDN11 and CDK12), as well as potential gastric cancer evolutionary driving genes (FOS and JUN), which provide a basis for the treatment of heterogeneity.
