Project description:Intratumoral CD8+ T-cell infiltration in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) has previously been linked to the efficacy of chemoradiation (CRTX) and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy. Further detailed characterization of the tumor immune-micromilieu and its influence on outcome may suggest rational CRTX-ICI combinations. In this study, the complex interaction of the tumor immune microenvironment with the efficacy of CRTX in HNSCC was analyzed. Comprehensive immune transcriptome analysis of FFPE tumor samples from patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma was used for establishing differences in tumor immune profiles according to the overall survival status. Furthermore, a composite immune signature risk score for survival prediction was developed.
Project description:The DNA isolated from 44 either frozen or FFPE Neuroendocrine Neoplasm (NEN) was analysed by NGS, to identify genes more likely to be subject to sequence variations among 523 cancer-related ones.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
