Project description:Next generation sequencing was used to identify Notch mutations in a large collection of diverse solid tumors. NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 rearrangements leading to constitutive receptor activation were confined to triple negative breast cancers (TNBC, 6 of 66 tumors). TNBC cell lines with NOTCH1 rearrangements associated with high levels of activated NOTCH1 (N1-ICD) were sensitive to the gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) MRK-003, both alone and in combination with pacitaxel, in vitro and in vivo, whereas cell lines with NOTCH2 rearrangements were resistant to GSI. Immunohistochemical staining of N1-ICD in TNBC xenografts correlated with responsiveness, and expression levels of the direct Notch target gene HES4 correlated with outcome in TNBC patients. Activating NOTCH1 point mutations were also identified in other solid tumors, including adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Notably, ACC primary tumor xenografts with activating NOTCH1 mutations and high N1-ICD levels were sensitive to GSI, whereas N1-ICD low tumors without NOTCH1 mutations were resistant. Gene expression profiling for Notch-sensitive cancer cell lines using RNA-seq, each sample with triplicates
Project description:tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma is one kind of non-small-cell lung cancer with limit treatment options. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the molecular characteristic of tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma, aiming to recognized this disease deeply and provide potential treatment plan in the future.

Project description:Gene expression array analysis on a series of ten different histological special types of invasive breast carcinomas (tubular, micropapillary, mucinous A, mucinous B, endocrine, apocrine, metaplastic, medullary, adenoid cystic, invasive ductal carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells) and invasive lobular carcinoma.<br><br>Note: this experiment was reloaded into ArrayExpress in August 2010 to include mappings between raw and processed data files. It now includes additional dye-swap combined normalized data files.
Project description:We performed spatial transcriptomics of a tumor section from a patient post-treatment with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
