Project description:Purpose: Digital spatial profiling was used to elucidate the interplay between the tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment FFPE tissues. Methods: Two tissue microarrays (TMA) were generated from each FFPE block using the ISNET Galileo CK4500 computer-driven tissue microarray. Images of H&E-stained cores were demarcated by a pathologist and were utilized alongside NanoString immunofluorescent staining for morphology markers S100, CD45, CD3, and DAPI to draw region of interest.
Project description:The Neurofibromin 1 (NF1) tumor suppressor gene is mutated in 15-27% of melanoma patients. The overall prognosis of these patients is worse than that of patients with other genetic melanoma subtypes due to a paucity in targeted therapy options for this melanoma subtype, and its limited response to immunotherapy. Here, we compare NF1 mutant to NF1 wild melanoma using a combined multi-omics approaches of patient-derived short-term cultures (STCs) to identify potential therapeutic targets
