Project description:<p>Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) occurs as much as 20x more frequently in sub-Saharan Africa than Western countries. Through the UNC-Malawi project collaboration we obtained whole-exome matched tumor/normal and RNA sequencing of 59 ESCC from Malawi between 2011-2012. DNA analysis revealed similar mutations as other cohorts, while RNA analysis revealed three distinct subtypes. Mutational signature analysis revealed a pattern of mutation not previously reported in other cohorts or more broadly. Taken together this suggests the high prevalence of ESCC in the region is secondary to an as yet identified mutagen. </p>
Project description:We microdissected discrete sub-regions of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and analyzed the transcriptomes throughout three-dimensional (3D) tumor space.
Project description:Profiles of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and normal esophageal normal epithelium normal cell line. Analysis provides validation of novel microRNA targets prediction algorithms. esophageal squamous cell carcinoma:14, normal epithelium cell:2
Project description:We microdissected discrete sub-regions of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and analyzed the transcriptomes throughout three-dimensional (3D) tumor space. Nine cases were used for TP/TC comparison, five cases were used for 3D analysis, one normal case was set as a control.
Project description:SAGE libraries made of squamous esophagus tissue, primary cell culture or esophageal squamous cell carcinoma Keywords: SAGE analysis of different tissues squamous esophagus biopsy was taken from 1 male metaplastic Barrett's esophagus patient. primary cell culture was from 1 male Barrett's esophagus patient. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was from a patient known to have ESCC
Project description:This study was designed to identify genes aberrantly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. Three esophageal squamous cell carcinoma-derived cell lines and one normal human esophageal squamous cell line were analyzed.
Project description:The purpose of this analysis is to analyze the changes in gene expression that occur in cancer cells when CD63 is knocked down in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell lines. We performed a comprehensive analysis of mRNA in CD63 knockdown human ESCC cell lines (TE2, TE15) using microarrays.
