Project description:Genome-wide copy number variation was measured in TP53 mutation negative ovarian tumours. Analysis described in "Driver mutations in TP53 are ubiquitous in high grade serous carcinoma of the ovary" (Ahmed et al., 2010)
Project description:Low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas are typically Ras-pathway mutated, TP53 wild-type, have limited chromosomal aberration, and are frequently associated with borderline tumors. By contrast, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma lack Ras-pathway mutations, are invariably TP53 mutated, show widespread genomic change, and are commonly BRCA-pathway disrupted. We sought to identify differences in genomic copy number changes in borderline and invasive components of serous carcinoma.

By contrast, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma lack Ras-pathway mutations, are invariably TP53 mutated, show widespread genomic change, and are commonly BRCA-pathway disrupted. We sought to identify differences in genomic copy number changes between co-existing borderline and invasive components of serous carcinoma.

We sought to identify differences in genomic copy number changes between co-existing borderline and invasive components of serous carcinoma. Paired co-existing borderline and invasive tumor components of ovarian serous carcinoma were sampled and profiled from tumors from 7 patients

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer is the most aggressive histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer, which is characterized by a high frequency of somatic TP53 mutations. To provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these cancers and to develop a risk classification system, we conducted profiling of the copy number alterations present in these tumors. Thirty patients who were diagnosed as high-grade serous ovarian cancer were recruited in this study. Affymetrix SNP array were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from high-grade serous ovarian cancer tissues or peripheral blood samples.

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. Illumina HT-12 v4 arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on total RNA extracted from i) tumour cells purified from ovarian tumour ascites, and ii) established cell lines. Evaluation of the similarity in copy number/methylation/gene expression/mutational profiles of cell lines/tumours/xenografts was performed.
