Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:Genomic sequences, as well as its covalent epigenetic modifications, are spatially organized into three-dimensional structures. Here, we developed Methyl-HiC by combining in situ Hi-C and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to simultaneously capture genome-wide chromosome conformation changes and DNA methylation within the same DNA molecule. Methyl-HiC generated consistent information compared with in situ Hi-C and WGBS from the same cell line. We detected long-range DNA methylation concordance in general but varied in different chromatin states. We extended Methyl-HiC to single cell level and applied it on 103 primed and 47 naïve mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We revealed the heterogeneity of chromosomal conformation changes by grouping cells in their DNA methylation level alone. We also observed increases of DNA methylation stochasticity and decreases of contact frequency together in late replication timing regions. Our method here paves the road to evaluate the direct long-range effect of epigenetic alterations in different pathological and healthy conditions at genome-wide and single cell level.

Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms and signal pathways induced by restoring tumor suppressor gene HIC-1 on breast cancer cells. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the differential genes induced by HIC-1 gene activation. Small activating RNA (saRNA) that targeted promoter region was used, and MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was selected as cell model. After 96h for saRNA transfection, the cells were collected and the whole genome expression profiles were analyzed. Three independent experiments were repeated for different groups. With the treshold of p<0.01 and fold change >=2 or <-2, there were 1375 differential expression genes, which are related to cell cycle, apoptosis, cell migration, cell invasion and cell proliferation. SaRNA induced gene expression in human breast cancer cell MCF-7 was measured at 96 hours after transfection by 50 nM saRNA. Three independent experiments were performed for experimental group and control group.
Project description:Genome organization influences transcriptional regulation by facilitating interactions between gene promoters and distal regulatory elements. To analyse distal promoter contacts we used Capture Hi-C (CHi-C) to enrich for promoter-interactions in a HiC lib

Project description:Multiomics of faecal samples collected from individuals in families with multiple cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) over 3 or 4 months. Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing and metaproteomics were carried out, as well as whole human genome sequencing. Phenotypic data is available.
Project description:Genome organization influences transcriptional regulation by facilitating interactions between gene promoters and distal regulatory elements. To analyse distal promoter contacts mediated by the PRC1 complex we used Capture Hi-C (CHi-C) to enrich for promoter-interactions in a HiC library in Ring1a KO and Ring1a/b dKO mouse ES cells.
Project description:Nude mice were allografted with medulloblastoma tumors derived from Ptch+/-HIC+/- transgenic mouse and treated with vehicle or NVP-LDE225. RNA was prepared from tumours from vehicle or NVP-LDE225 treated nude mice allografted with medulloblastoma tumors derived from Ptch+/-HIC+/- transgenic mouse and hybridized on the Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 RNA expression microarray.
