Project description:Elucidation of the impact of hypoxia in D283-Med (medulloblastoma Homo sapiens, human, ATCC® HTB-185™) cells to depict molecular mechanisms, which could explain drug resistance when cells are exposed to long-term hypoxia (5 days). Global gene expression study by microarray analysis to allow an efficient search for a range of genes. D283-MED cells were incubated for a varied hypoxic duration (0, 6, 64 and 96 hours in triplicate), cDNA samples were prepared and sent directly to NimbleGen.
Project description:We deep sequenced and analyzed miRNAs using small RNA sequencing in six medulloblastoma cell lines (SHH: DAOY and ONS-76, Group 3: D341 and D425, Group 4: CHLA-01-MED and CHLA-01R-MED).
Project description:Medulloblastoma is one of the most common malignant pediatric brain tumors. Group 3 is the most aggressive molecular subgroup, showing the highest rate of metastasis at diagnosis. To date, very few long noncoding RNAs have been implicated in Group 3 Medulloblastoma biology. Here, we identified the long noncoding RNAs dependent on the activity of the MYC oncogene, the major driver gene of Group 3 Medulloblastoma.
Project description:We describe an 8 year old child who had disseminated anaplastic medulloblastoma and a deleterious heterozygous BRCA2 6174delT germline mutation. Molecular profiling was consistent with Group 4 medulloblastoma. The posterior fossa mass was resected and the patient received intensive chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation. Despite this, the patient succumbed to a second recurrence of his medulloblastoma, which presented eight months after diagnosis as malignant pleural and peritoneal effusions. Continuous medulloblastoma cell lines were isolated from the original tumor (CHLA-01-MED) and the malignant pleural effusion (CHLA-01R-MED). Here we provide their analyses, including in vitro and in vivo growth, drug sensitivity, comparative genomic hybridization and next generation sequencing analysis. In addition to the BRCA2 6174delT, the medulloblastoma cells had amplification of MYC, deletion at Xp11.2 and isochromosome 17, but no structural variations or overexpression of GFI1 or GFI1B. To our knowledge, this is the first pair of diagnosis/recurrence medulloblastoma cell lines, the only medulloblastoma cell lines with BRCA2 6174delT described to date, and the first reported case of a child with medulloblastoma associated with a germline BRCA2 6174delT who did not also have Fanconi anemia. Continuous medulloblastoma cell lines were isolated from the original tumor (CHLA-01-MED) and the malignant pleural effusion (CHLA-01R-MED). Here we provide their analyses, including in vitro and in vivo growth, drug sensitivity, comparative genomic hybridization with Agilent 400k CGH arrays and whole transcriptome RNASeq analysis.

Project description:Our goal is the identification of more and more missing proteins from cancer cell lines. This project focuses on D283 med and U-118mg cell lines which contribute to 12 missing protein identification.
