Project description:The National Cancer Institute-60 (NCI-60) cell lines are among the most widely used models of human cancer. They provide a platform to integrate DNA sequence information, epigenetic data, RNA and protein expression, and pharmacologic susceptibilities in studies of cancer cell biology. Genome-wide studies of the NCI-60 have included exome sequencing, karyotyping, and copy number analyses but have not targeted repetitive sequences. Interspersed repeats are a significant source of heritable genetic variation, and insertions of active elements can occur somatically in malignancy. To approach a functional understanding of these sequences in transformed cells, we used transposon insertion profiling (TIP) to map Long INterspersed Element-1 (LINE-1, L1) and Alu Short INterspersed Element (SINE) insertions in cancer genes in NCI-60 cells. As expected, this identified known insertions, polymorphisms shared in unrelated tumor cell lines, as well as unique, potentially tumor-specific insertions. Here, we report a map of these insertion sites and conduct association analyses relating individual insertions to a variety of cellular phenotypes.
Project description:Advances in the understanding of cancer cell biology and response to drug treatment have benefited from new molecular technologies and methods for integrating information from multiple sources. The NCI-60, a panel of 60 diverse human cancer cell lines, has been used by the National Cancer Institute to screen >100,000 chemical compounds and natural product extracts for anticancer activity. The NCI-60 has also been profiled for mRNA and protein expression, mutational status, chromosomal aberrations, and DNA copy number, generating an unparalleled public resource for integrated chemogenomic studies. Recently, microRNAs have been shown to target particular sets of mRNAs, thereby preventing translation or accelerating mRNA turnover. To complement the existing NCI-60 datasets, we have measured expression levels of microRNAs in the NCI-60.

Project description:NCI60 proteome resource is a web application that facilitates comprehensive proteome analysis of the NCI-60 cell line panel. The NCI-60 is a set of 60 (now 59) human cancer cell lines from nine different tissues introduced in 1990 by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) to screen for new anticancer agents.
The current database comprises a very high proteome coverage (more than half of human genome) and serves as a reference expression profiles of NCI-60 cell line panel. As such it contains details about protein and peptide identifications together with the corresponding fragment spectra and quantitative information. It also contains chromosome-centric view to identify the abundance and distribution of proteins whose genes are co-located on the same chromosome. In addition, a simple interface allows to query for differential protein expression either by protein names or attributes such as ontology terms. The protein queries return the cell lines where protein expression has been reported.
