Project description:We aimed to find gene signatures associated with different subgroups of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines defined by differences in detection of pro-apoptotic stress RNA from cultured cell lines was isolated the same day and used for subsequent expression profiling
Project description:A series of conditional mouse models of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and spindle cell sarcoma were generated and validated for relavence to corresponding human cancers. Conditional mouse models of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and spindle cell sarcoma were created by activation or deletion of Pax3:Fkhr, p53, Ptch1 or Rb1 genes.
