Project description:We have utilized our custom array GPL11054 to screen a set of sarcoma patient samples for fusion genes One negative control was included in the study. We wanted to investigate the power of our fusion-gene array GPL11054 as a means for fusion gene detection in a series of sarcoma patient samples from two diagnostic laboratories with expertise in fusion gene detection.

Project description:We have utilized a version 2.0 of our Fusion gene microarray (version 1.0 described by PMID: 19152679 and GEO, GPL8078) to screen cancer cell lines for known fusion genes We assembled a comprehensive database of published fusion genes, including those which have been reported only in individual studies and samples, and fusion genes resulting from deep sequencing of cancer genomes and transcriptomes. From the total set of 548 fusion genes, we designed 197,846 unique oligonucleotides, targeting both chimeric transcript junctions as well as sequences internal to each of the fusion gene partners. We investigated the presence of fusion genes in a series of 67 cell lines originating from 15 different cancer types. Data from ten leukaemia cell lines with known fusion gene status were used to evaluate and calibrate an automated scoring algorithm. In five out of ten cell lines the correct fusion gene was the top most scoring hit, and one came second, all six passing a cut-off of 50 percent of theoretical maximum-score. Two additional fusion genes, BCAS4-BCAS3 from the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and CCDC6-RET from the TPC-1 thyroid cancer cell line were validated as true positive fusion transcripts from the remaining 57 cell lines. A total of 67 cell lines from various cancer types were analysed for presence of known fusion genes

Project description:This study has examined the molecular mechanisms underlying sensitivity of sarcomas to Nutlin-3a, a non-genotoxic activator of the p53 pathway. Human patient material was collected immediately following surgical resection, dissected into small pieces and ex planted onto gelatin sponges immersed in media containing either vehicle control or Nutlin-3a (10uM and/or 50uM) for 48 hours. Nutlin-3a represents a novel targeted therapy for the treatment of sarcomas. We have examined expression profiles of genes upregulated in sarcoma patient derived tissues following nutlin-3a treatment ex vivo 16 samples ((Vehicle control and Nutlin-3a (10uM and 50uM) treated samples)) from 6 sarcoma patients

Project description:The identification of subtype-specific translocations has revolutionized diagnostics of sarcoma and provided new insight into oncogenesis. We used RNA-Seq to investigate samples diagnosed as small round cell tumors of bone, possibly Ewing sarcoma, but lacking the canonical EWSR1-ETS translocation. A new fusion was observed between the BCL6 co-repressor (BCOR) and the testis specific cyclin B3 (CCNB3) genes on chromosome X. RNA-Seq results were confirmed by RT-PCR and cloning the tumor-specific genomic translocation breakpoints. 24 BCOR-CCNB3-positive tumors were identified among a series of 594 sarcomas. Gene profiling experiments indicate that BCOR-CCNB3-positive cases are biologically distinct from other sarcomas, particularly EwingM-bM-^@M-^Ys sarcoma. Finally, we show that CCNB3 immunohistochemistry is a powerful diagnostic marker for this group of sarcoma and that over-expression of BCOR-CCNB3 or of a truncated CCNB3 activates S-phase in NIH3T3 cells. Thus the intrachromosomal X fusion described here represents a new subtype of bone sarcoma caused by a novel gene fusion mechanism. Comparison of expression profiles of 10 BCOR-CCNB3 samples (plus 4 EWS-FLI1 Ewing sarcomas samples as control) with publicly available profiles of other tumor types.

Project description:Expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma samples in the frame of the CIT program from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net). STAG2 loss-of-function mutation is the most frequent secondary genetic alteration in Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive bone tumor driven by the chimeric EWSR1-FLI1 transcription factor. STAG2 encodes an integral member of the cohesin complex, a ring-shaped multi-protein structure, which is essential to shape the architecture and expression of the genome with CTCF. Combining this cohort with our previously published series (GSE34620), we show that a signature of commonly downregulated genes upon STAG2 mutation in A673 and TC71 and linked to at least one EWSR1-FLI1 bound GGAA microsatellite enhancer chain element inferred form H3K27ac HiChIP predict poor overall survival in Ewing sarcoma patients.
