Project description:Here we report a large, training*testing, multi-site, blinded validation study to characterize the performance of several prognostic models based on gene expression for 442 lung adenocarcinomas. The hypotheses proposed examined whether microarray measurements of gene expression either alone or combined with basic clinical covariates (stage, age, sex) could be used to predict overall survival in lung cancer subjects. Several models examined produced risk scores that substantially correlated with actual subject outcome. Most methods performed better with clinical data, supporting the combined use of clinical and molecular information when building prognostic models for early-stage lung cancer. This study also provides the largest available set of microarray data with extensive pathological and clinical annotation for lung adenocarcinomas.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Affymetrix Human Genome U133A platform was used to obtain gene expression profiles of 28 pathologically and clinically well characterized adenocarcinomas of the lung. In addition, EGFR status was determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. The classification of the cases using a clustering algorithm applied to the expression data correlated significantly with the histopathological tumor grades. In contrast, no correlation of gene expression data and EGFR status could be detected. In this study we evaluated the gene expression of 28 clinico-pathological well characterized lung adenocarcinomas.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
