U87MG is a commonly studied grade IV glioma cell line that has been analyzed in at least 1,700 publications over four decades. In order to comprehensively characterize the genome of this cell line and to serve as a model of broad cancer genome sequencing, we have generated greater than 30x genomic s...
EGFRvA is a novel and widely-expressed EGFR isoform, whose upregulation is positively related to glioma grades. Intriguingly, it is the upregulation of EGFRvA but not EGFR that significantly correlates with a poor prognosis in glioma patients. Cancer cells expressing EGFRvA (relative to EGFR) displa...
To investigate the effects of PTEN activity on gene expression in 3D cultured glioblastoma cells and the contributions of PTEN's lipid and protein phosphatase activities to these effects. We expressed wild type PTEN, a catalytically dead mutant (C124S) or mutants selectively lacking protein or lipid...
Differential transcriptome analysis between control cells (U87MG), TMZ-resistant cells with continuous TMZ treatment (U87MG R50) and TMZ-resistant cells with interrupted treatment (U87MG OFF R50).
