Project description:We developed a model for acquired resistance to chemotherapy by treating mice carrying patient derived xenografts (PDX) of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with widely-used cytotoxic drugs for 18 consecutive weeks. Transcriptome and proteome showed shared dysregulations between replicate tumors providing putative targets to overcome resistance.
Project description:Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal human malignancies and a major health problem. Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) are appearing as a prime approach for preclinical studies despite being insufficiently characterized as a model of the human disease and its diversity. We generated subcutaneous PDX from PDAC samples obtained either surgically or using diagnostic biopsies (endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspirate). The extensive multiomics characterization of the xenografts demonstrated that PDX is a suitable model for preclinical studies, representing the diversity of the primary cancers. this dataset, describe the RNA sequencing data used in the multiomics study.
Project description:RNAseq was done on Breast cancer PDX samples uisng Library protocol =llumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold , HiSeq 50 Cycle Single-Read Sequencing v4
Project description:Cryopreserved AML PDX samples were collected with minimal harm to the sample by taking a biopsy punch from the vial of cell and transfering it into lysis buffer. 96 AML PDX samples collected in such manner were processed using prime-seq to generate high quality expression profiles.
Project description:mRNA expression profiling of pancreatic cancer, comparing adjacent normal tissue, patient tumour and first generation patient derived xenograft tumours Fresh tumour samples for human pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients were implanted in SCID mice. 70% of these pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients grew as PDX tumours, confirmed by histopathology. Frozen samples from F1 PDX tumours could be later successful passaged in SCID mice to F2 PDX tumours. The human origin of the PDX was confirmed using human specific antibodies; however, the stromal component was replaced by murine cells. Cell lines were successfully developed from three PDX tumours. RNA was extracted from 8 PDX tumours and where possible, corresponding primary tumour and adjacent normal tissues. mRNA profiles of tumour vs F1 PDX and normal vs tumour were compared by Affymetric microarray analysis
