Project description:We compared the prediction powers for disease recurrence between gene set prognostic model and clinical prognostic model developed in a single large population to see whether genetic quantitative approach will have significant prognostic role in early cervical cancer patients who underwent radical hysterectomy with or without adjuvant therapies. Gene set model to predict disease free survival of early cervical cancer was developed using DASL assay dataset from the cohort of early cervical cancer patients who were treated with radical surgery with or without adjuvant therapies at the Samsung Medical Center of Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, between January 2002 and September 2008. Clinical prediction model was also developed in the same cohort and the ability of predicting recurrence from each model was compared.

Clinical prediction model was also developed in the same cohort and the ability of predicting recurrence from each model was compared. Adequate DASL assay profiles were obtained in 300 patients and we selected 12 genes for the gene set model. When the proportions of patients were categorized as having a low or high risk by the prognostic scores using these genes from LOOCV procedure, the Kaplan-Meier curve showed significant different recurrence rate between two groups. Clinical model was developed using FIGO stage as well as post-surgical pathological findings.
Project description:Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. Patients diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer have a good prognosis, however, 10-20% suffer from local or distant recurrent disease after primary treatment. Treatment options for recurrent cervical cancer are limited. Therefore, it is crucial to identify factors that can predict patients with an increased risk of recurrence to optimize treatment to prevent the recurrence of cervical cancer. We aimed to identify biomarkers in early-stage primary cervical cancer which recurred after surgery. Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded surgical specimens of 34 patients with early-stage cervical cancer (FIGO 2009 stage 1B1) and 7 healthy controls were analyzed. Targeted gene expression profiling using the PanCancer IO 360 panel of NanoString Technology was performed. The findings were confirmed by performing immunohistochemistry stainings. Various genes, namely GLS, CD36, WNT5a, HRAS, DDB2, PIK3R2, and CDH2 were found to be differentially highly expressed in primary cervical cancer samples of patients who developed distant recurrence. In addition, The relative infiltration score of CD8+ T cells, CD80+CD86+ macrophages, CD163+MRC1+ macrophages, and FOXP3+IL2RA+ regulatory T cells were significantly higher in this group of samples. In contrast, no significant differences in gene expression and relative immune infiltration were found in samples of patients who developed local recurrence. The infiltration of CD8 and FOXP3 cells were validated by immunohistochemistry using all samples included in the study. We identified molecular alterations in primary cervical cancer samples from patients who developed recurrent Q9 disease. These findings can be utilized towards developing a molecular signature for the early detection of patients with a high risk to develop metastasis.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of early stage cervical cancer tumours with and without lymph node metastasis, in order to predict lymph node metastasis before treatment. Subsequently, comparing gene expression profiles between healthy cervical tissue and early stage cervical cancer tissue. Keywords: Disease stage analysis
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: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.
