Project description:In order to identify new key molecules in the pathogenesis of myxoid liposarcoma, we performed comparative gene expression profiling in myxoid liposarcoma and fat tissue samples. Whole genome microarray analysis was performed on eight primary myxoid liposarcoma samples and an RNA pool of eight healthy fat tissue samples.
Project description:miR-135b expression is higher in myxoid liposarcoma cell lines than in adipose-derived mesenchymal cell line, as well as in myxoid liposarcoma tumors than in adjacent normal prostate tissues.To further investigate the molecular mechanisms regulated by miR-135b, we performed mRNA microarray analysis of cell cultures from myxoid liposarcoma cell line after transfections with miR-135b mimic or negative control.
Project description:Round cell component is a resk factor associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in myxoid liposarcoma. To identify microRNAs which play a role in the malignancy of round cell component, we performed microRNA microarray analysis and compared the miRNA expression profilings between myxoid and round cell component.
Project description:In order to identify new key molecules in the pathogenesis of myxoid liposarcoma, we performed comparative gene expression profiling in myxoid liposarcoma and fat tissue samples.
Project description:Some specific sarcomas and leukemias are defined by characteristic FET (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15) fusion oncogenes. Myxoid liposarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the most common entities characterized by FUS-DDIT3 and EWSR1-FLI1, respectively. Here, we performed whole transcriptome analysis of HT1080 cells with either ectopic FUS-DDIT3 or ectopic EWSR1-FLI1 expression.
