Laser ablation rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) was used to analyse human basal cell carcinoma (BCC) samples. 14 samples are presented here, along with H&E-stained histological images.
A total of 3 patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and 3 healthy individuals (control; non-lesional skin) were enrolled in the study. Punch biopsies (4 mm) were obtained under local anaesthesia and immediately put in RNAlater (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and stored at - 80 °C until RNA extraction. ...
Adult tissue stem cells are known to participate in cancer formation. Indeed, cells exhibiting markers of embryonic stem cells such as Oct-4 and Nanog were detected in some malignant tumors. In this study we demonstrated that stromal cells prepared from the basal cell carcinoma are able to induce ex...
Perturbations in the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported for a variety of different cancers. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin has not been systematically evaluated regarding differentially expressed miRNAs. Patients with BCC (n=7) were included in the study. Punch biop...
Xenobiotics are ubiquitous in the environment and modified abundantly in the human body by phase I and II metabolism. Liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry is a powerful tool to investigate these biotransformation products. Here, we present a workflow based on stable iso...
Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common cancers in the US. Histologic appearance distinguishes several subtypes, each of which can have a different biologic behavior. In this study global miRNA expression was quantified by high throughput sequencing in nodular BCCs, a subtype that is slow...
Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene PTCH1 are responsible for Gorlin syndrome, or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). NBCCS causes predisposition to basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the commonest cancer in adult human. In the general population BCC develop almost exclusively in sun-exposed a...
Dataset contains samples that are all fibroblast cells that have been cultured from fresh human tissue. Fibroblasts were derived either from tumor (basal cell carcinoma) or non-tumor (control) tissue. Samples were maintained in DMEM, 10% FBS, glutamine, pen/strep and passaged for 4 passages before...
Imiquimod is a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7 agonist capable of inducing complete clearance of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and other cutaneous malignancies. We hypothesized that the characterization of the early transcriptional events induced by imiquimod may provide insights about immunological events ...
Our understanding of how human skin cells differ according to anatomical site and tumour formation is limited. To address this we have created a multi-scale spatial atlas of healthy skin and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), incorporating in vivo optical coherence tomography, single cell RNA sequencing, s...
