Project description:Copy number profiling of 27 gastric cancer cell lines and 105 gastric tumor tissues. we hypothesized that a detailed fine-scale survey of genomic CNAs might reveal potential genes disrupted by fusion events in gastric cancer. We inferred the locations of likely chromosomal breakpoints by identifying regions where closely-spaced microarray probes exhibited striking transitions in copy number. 27 gastric cancer cell lines and 105 gastric tumor tissues were profiled by Agilent 244K microarray.

Project description:To investigate whether microRNAs (miRNAs) were induced by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) in human gastric cancer cells, the miRNA-seq was used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs in two human gastric cancer cell lines (HGC-27 and AGS) treated with the HDACi vorinostat (SAHA) or vehicle (DMSO).
Project description:Regions of recurrent genomic amplification and deletion are frequently observed in primary gastric cancers (GC). However, identifying specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes within these regions can be challenging, as they often cover tens to hundreds of genes. Here, we combined high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) with gene expression profiling to target genes lying within focal high-level amplifications in GC cell lines, and identified RAB23 as an amplified and overexpressed Chr 6p11p12 gene in Hs746T cells. High RAB23 protein expression was also observed in some lines lacking RAB23 amplification, suggesting additional mechanisms besides gene amplification for up-regulating RAB23. siRNA silencing of RAB23 reduced the invasive potential of both amplified and nonamplified GC cell lines. RAB23 gene amplifications were observed in 13% of primary gastric carcinomas. In two independent patient cohorts, RAB23 transcript and protein expression was significantly associated with diffuse-type gastric cancer (dGC) compared to intestinal-type gastric cancer (iGC), providing further evidence that dGC and iGC likely represent two molecularly distinct tumor types. Our study demonstrates that investigating focal chromosomal amplifications by combining highresolution aCGH with expression profiling is a powerful general strategy for identifying novel cancer genes in recurrent regions of chromosomal aberration.
