Project description:We used microarray CGH analysis with a tiling path BAC DNA microarray to profile DNA copy number alterations in 164 serous ovarian adenocarcinomas. Survival probabilities modelled by proportional hazards were used to stratify cases into good, intermediate or poor survival groups. Comparison of aCGH data from these groups was used to identify genomic alterations associated with patient survival. A total of 984 cases of serous ovarian adenocarcinoma from three different studies were combined and Cox proportional hazards used to model survival using patient age, tumour stage and residual disease status as covariates. Survival probabilities (Pr) were extracted for all cases and used to stratify 384 cases for which microarray CGH data was available. From these, we identified 70 cases with poor survival (Pr>0.784) and 70 cases with good survival (Pr<0.35). aCGH data from these cases was provided to an iterative Support Vector Machine (SVM) routine to detect copy number changes associated with survival. Candidate regions were then validated by survival analysis in all 384 cases for which aCGH data was available. This series contains aCGH data from 164 tumours from the MALOVA collection.

Project description:Our study presents the first genetic models of de novo high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) that originate in fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells and recapitulate the key genetic alterations and precursor lesions characteristic of human invasive ovarian cancer. Genomic copy number analysis, using array CGH, was performed on murine tumors in order to compare the overlap of copy number alterations between HGSC models and TCGA data.
Project description:Genome-wide copy number variation was measured in primary tumours of the ovary, Fallopian tube and peritoneum. A well-defined subset of advanced-stage serous tumors was then used to relate CNV to primary resistance to treatment. Analysis is described in "Integrated Genome-wide DNA Copy Number and Expression Analysis Identifies Distinct Mechanisms of Primary Chemo-resistance in Ovarian Carcinomas", Etemadmoghadam et al. In press, Clinical Cancer Research. Experiment Overall Design: 118 needle-dissected or whole tumours (>80% tumour content) were analysed.

Genomic copy number analysis, using array CGH, was performed on murine tumors in order to compare the overlap of copy number alterations between HGSC models and TCGA data. Array CGH was performed on genomic DNA isolated from murine HGSC tumors. Genomic DNA from three normal mouse fallopian tubes was pooled and used as the reference.
Project description:This study aimed to generate a new panel of comprehensively, genomically characterized high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) cell line and xenograft models. Multidimensional genomic data were generated and compared between cell lines/xenografts and the tumours they were derived from, indicating the cell lines/xenografts are highly similar to their patient-matched tumours. Cell line/xenograft data were also compared to TCGA ovarian tumours to show the cell lines are good models of clinical HGSOC. Affymetrix SNP 6 arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions on genomic DNA extracted from i) tumour cells purified from ovarian tumour ascites, ii) established cell lines, iii) patient derived xenografts, and iv) lymphoblast lines. Evaluation of the similarity in copy number/methylation/gene expression/mutational profiles of cell lines/tumours/xenografts was performed.
