Project description:Molecular signatures to improve diagnosis in PTCL and prognostication in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Gene expression profiling of PTCL patient samples was performed to investigate whether molecular signatures can be used to identify distinct entities of PTCL. Gene expression profiling was performed on PTCL and natural-killer cell lymphoma (NKCL) to define molecular classifiers for the more common entities of PTCL, to identify unique entities within PTCL-U, to elucidate unique tumor and microenvironmental interactions and oncogenic pathways in AITL, and to construct a molecular prognosticator for AITL.
Project description:We performed a comprehensive genome-wide miRNA expression profiling (MEP) of extranodal nasal-type Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) using formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) (n=30) and NK cell lines (n=6) in comparison with normal NK cells, with the objective of understanding the pathogenetic role of miRNA deregulation in NKTL.
Project description:NK-cell lymphoma shares strikingly similar molecular features with a distinct subset of gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma. Gene expression profiling of NK-cell lymphoma patient samples was performed to investigate whether molecular signatures can be used to identify entities of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with NK-cell-like features. Gene expression profiling was performed on NK-cell maligancies to examine extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) and aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKL) and well-characterized cell lines of NK- and T-cell lineages to define molecular classifiers that can distinguish ENKTL from other lymphomas.

Total RNA, including miRNA, were extracted using Ambion Recoverall Kit and profiled using Agilent human miRNA V2.
