Project description:Bulk sequencing and copy number analysis of seven colon cancer patient primary tumors and their lymph node metastases were analyzed. Tumor heterogeneity and subclonality were profiled for each lymph sample and mapped to multiple, spacially distinct primary samples to explore lymph node tumor seeding models.
Project description:Recent studies have highlighted the role of sub-clones in tumors. Lymph nodes are generally the first location of metastasis for most solid epithelial tumors including Colorectal cancer (CRC). We sought to understand the genetic origin of lymph node metastasis in CRC by evaluating the relationship between CRC tumor sub-clones and lymph nodes.
Project description:Expression data from 4T1 subclones derived from mammary fat pad tumors (MFP), axillary lymph node tumors (AxLN), and axillary lymph node-derived lung metastases (AxLN-LuM). In parallel, expression data, in the same subclones, of tail vein-derived (TV) lung metastases. The mechanism of how lymph node metastases seed distant metastases is unknown. We used the 4T1 breast cancer cell line, which is an immune competent model of triple negative breast cancer and spontaneously metastasizes in balb/c mice. 4T1-GFP/fLuc cells were injected into MFP to form tumors and 4T1-mCherry/rLuc cells were injected into axillary lymph nodes to form tumors and then allowed to metastasize to lung. TV cells were allowed to metastasize in the lung. Cells were harvested at different time intervals after the injection. Tumors were extracted, dissociated, and then expanded in vitro to obtain MFP, AxLN, AxLN-LuM and TV-LuM subclones isolated after different time lags with respect to the injection.
Project description:To identify the lymph node (LN) metastasis-associated genes in primary ESCC tumors, gene expression profiling assay (GEP) was performed to identify the differences in gene expression profiles between primary ESCC tumors that were with LN metastases (N+) and those without LN metastases (N-).
Project description:We performed a quantitative proteome comparison on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue of metastasized and non-metastasized primary prostate cancer (PCa) and on recurrent lymph node metastases. Comparing these three sample groups, we aimed to identify proteins, that might potentially promote/supress tumor progression or metastasis formation. Proteins were quantified label-free. Proteins with interesting biological functions were followed-up by immunohistochemistry.
Project description:Lymph node metastases (LNM) and primary tumour samples were analysed using desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (DESI MSI). Current assessment of LNM depends on subjective histopathological assessment, whereas analysis by DESI MSI permits an entirely objective assessment. The mass spectral data revealed specific lipidomic patterns across samples, which were shown to correspond to the immunohistochemical image. Statistical prediction of LNM samples was performed using the esophageal adenocarcinoma samples with sensitivity and specificity of 89.5% and 100%, respectively.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE32488: Expression profiling of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast cancer metastases of the lymph node and autopsy tissues [DASL HT-12 samples] GSE32489: Expression profiling of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast cancer metastases of the lymph node and autopsy tissues [DASL HumanRef-v3 samples] Refer to individual Series
Project description:Samples were taken from colorectal cancers in surgically resected specimens in 89 colorectal cancer patients. The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Comparison between the sample groups allow to identify a set of discriminating genes that can be used for molecular markers for predicting lymph node metastases. Keywords: disease state analysis
