Project description:Primary uveal melanomas show multiple genetic alterations. To determine mutational status of six human primary uveal melanomas, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and called Single Nucleotide Polimorphism (SNPs) to identify somatic mutations in these human primary uveal melanomas.
Project description:In recent years,Bap1 has been reported to be involved in the process of tumorigenesis. Bap1 gene mutations frequently occur in tumors such as uveal melanoma, mesothelioma, and kidney cancer. In our study,we found that Bap1 deletion in MC38 colon carcinoma cells can promote anti-tumor immune response. To investigate how the genetic mutational landscape,whole exome sequencing of MC38 colon carcinoma cells and MC38 Bap1-knockout cells were performed.
Project description:In this study, we conducted whole-transcriptome sequencing in five primary Uveal Melanoma and four adjacent tissues to uncover key dysregulated the gene-regulatory circuits in Uveal Melanoma.
Project description:G protein alpha q and 11 are mutated in 90% of uveal melanoma and they activate the MAPK pathway. Using expression microarray analysis, we identified a unique MEK dependent transcriptional signature with genes that are involved in proliferation and tumor cell invasion. Uveal melanoma cells were profiled on Illumina Human HT-12 arrays per manufacturer's instructions
Project description:G protein alpha q and 11 are mutated in 80% of uveal melanoma. We observed that treatment with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 resulted in different phenotypic responses in G-protein mutant uveal melanoma cell lines and wild type uveal melanoma cell lines. We used microarrarys to profile the gene expression changes occuring in wild type and mutant cell lines in response to treament with JQ1 Uveal melanoma cells were profiled in triplicate on Affymetrix Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array arrays per manufacturer's instructions
