Project description:Copy number analysis of human GBM samples were performed, and a high frequency of deletions of the PTPRD gene on chromosome 9p23-24.1 were identified. Keywords: SNP microarray, glioblastoma multiforme, copy number, amplification, deletion
Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme shows multiple chromosomal aberrations, the impact of which on gene expression remains unclear. To investigate this relationship and to identify putative initiating genomic events, we integrated a paired copy number and gene expression survey in glioblastoma using whole human genome arrays. Loci of recurrent copy number alterations were combined with gene expression profiles obtained on the same tumor samples. We identified a set of 406 ‘cis-acting DNA targeted genes’ corresponding to genomic aberrations with direct copy-number-driving changes in gene expression, defined as genes with either significantly concordant or correlated changes in DNA copy number and expression. Functional annotation revealed that these genes participate in key processes of cancer cell biology, providing insights into the genetic mechanisms driving glioblastoma. The robustness of the gene selection was validated on an external microarray data set including 81 glioblastomas and 23 non-neoplastic brain samples. The integration of array CGH and gene expression data highlights a robust ‘cis-acting DNA targeted genes’ signature that may be critical for glioblastoma progression, with two tumor suppressor genes PCDH9 and STARD13 that could be involved in tumor invasiveness and resistance to etoposide.

Project description:Copy number analysis of human GBM samples were performed, and a high frequency of deletions of the PTPRD gene on chromosome 9p23-24.1 were identified. Keywords: SNP microarray, glioblastoma multiforme, copy number, amplification, deletion Genomic DNA from 58 GBM tumor samples were hybridized to Affymetrix 250K NspI Gene Chip Arrays and analyzed by dChip using the hg17 genome assembly.
Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the French National League Against Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net ) 25 glioblastoma multiforme tumors hybridized on Illumina SNP and Affymetrix gene expression arrays. Project leader : François DUCRAY (francois.ducray@chu-lyon.fr). CIT Analysis : Julien LAFFAIRE (laffairej@ligue-cancer.net). Note: PFS : progression-free survival, OS: Overall Survival,BCNU : Carmustine (chemotherapy agent). RESPONDER: if the patient has shown or not shown a response to the treatment (Bevacizumab (Avastin) plus Irinotecan). Progression during : If the disease has progressed (cancer relapse or patient's death); otherwise (patient is alive without relapse).
Project description:Here we present genome-wide copy number variation data on two vehicle treated and two CC214-2 (an mTOR kinase inhibitor) resistant GlioBlastoma Multiforme 39 (GBM39) xenografts, showing the absence of significant differences between the two groups, demonstrating that resistance to CC214-2 is due to adaptation rather than gene mutations.
