Project description:Gene expression profiling using oligonucleotide microarrays performed on tumor samples obtained before and after imatinib mesylate (IM) therapy. Rapid responding (to IM) samples were compared to non-responding/stable disease samples as measured by CT scan measurements to identify a gene signature that can predict rapid response to IM. Experiment Overall Design: 54 samples, 29 pre-treatment biopsy samples, 25 post-treatment/post-surgery tumor samples from Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Project description:To reveal mechanisms for acquired imatinib resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), we have analyzed several cell lines with resistance to imatinib.
Project description:To evaluate the antitumor activity of SU011248 in advanced, imatinib mesylate-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) when administered on a continuous daily dosing schedule
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE19396: ETV1 knockdown in GIST cell lines GSE22433: Imatinib Treatment of GIST882 GSE22441: Mapping of ETV1 genomic binding sites in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Refer to individual Series
Project description:RATIONALE: Surgery may remove residual disease in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor that is responding to imatinib mesylate. It is not yet known whether surgery is more effective than continued imatinib mesylate in treating patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving imatinib mesylate therapy together with surgery to see how well it works compared with imatinib mesylate alone in treating patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor that is responding to imatinib mesylate.
Project description:Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor frequently harbor mutations in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase and depend on its activity for growth. This underlies the efficacy of imatinib, a inhibitor of KIT activity, in GIST management. GIST882 is a patient derived GIST cell line that harbor a K640E exon 13 KIT mutation and is sensitive to imatinib treatment. To analyze the downstream effect of KIT inhibition, GIST882 cells were treated for 8 hours with 1μM Imatinib.

RNA was isolated and analyzed by Illumina Human HT-12 beadarray.
Project description:We performed miRNA expression profiling in a series of fresh-frozen neoadjuvantly imatinib treated gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), using a microarray approach. Significant differentially expressed miRNAs among imatinib-resistant and imatinib-sensitive groups were identified using SAM analysis.
