Project description:High-throughput proteomics profiling-derived signature associated with chemotherapy response and survival for stage II/III colorectal cancer
Project description:Newly diagnosed chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with a major cytogenetic response (MCyR) after 12 months of imatinib therapy have an excellent long-term outcome, while patients without MCyR have a high progression risk. Since patients with primary cytogenetic resistance may benefit from more intensive therapy up-front, we sought to identify biomarkers to predict MCyR. Keywords: Two group comparison to identify trasncriptomic signature that predicts response to therapy
Project description:The aim of our study was to evaluate the ability of miRNA expression patterns to predict chemotherapy response in a cohort of 39 patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma
Project description:Objective: We performed whole-blood transcriptomic profiling for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who received rituximab (RTX). We aimed to identify a molecular signature that could predict the clinical response to RTX and transcriptomic changes after RTX therapy.
Project description:The STOPAGO study enrolled adults with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and complete response to thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA). TPO-RA discontinuation was planned in the study and patients with sustained complete response off-treatment (SCROT, platelet count > 100 G/L and no bleeding) and non sustained response (NSR, platelet count < 30 G/L or bleeding) were identified at week 24. RNAseq of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was performed at baseline, before TPO-RA discontinuation. Samples originated from 8 patients (4 with SCROT and 4 with NSR). The objectif was to identify putative markers that would predict relapses after TPO-RA discontinuation by comparing SCROT and NSR patients.
Project description:The aim of our study was to evaluate the ability of miRNA expression patterns to predict chemotherapy response in a cohort of 39 patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma To define miRNA signature, samples were obtained from tumor tissue samples of 39 patients . Patients were divided into responders or non-responders according to tresponse treatment with a chemotherapy regimen that included fluoropyrimidines and either oxaliplatin or irinotecan .Tumor response was evaluated by conventional methods according to the standard RECIST 1.0 criteria: a complete response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all measurable and evaluable evidence of disease; a partial response (PR) was defined as a > 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions; stable disease (SD) was considered if the tumor burden decreased less than 30% or increased less than 20%; and progressive disease (PD) was indicated by a >20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions or the appearance of any new lesion. Patients were classified according to best response to chemotherapy in two groups: those that achieved an objective response (Responders [R]: CR + PR) and those that did not (Non-responders [NR]: SD + PD). Mature human miRNA expression was detected and quantified using the TaqMan® Low Density Arrays (TLDA). The Human MicroRNA Card Set v2.0 array is a two card set containing a total of 384 TaqMan® MicroRNA Assays per card to enable accurate quantification of 667 human microRNAs, all catalogued in the miRBase database. Expression of target miRNAs was normalized in relation to the expression of MammU6. Cycle threshold (Ct) values were calculated using the SDS software v.2.3 using automatic baseline settings and a threshold of 0.2. Relative quantification of miRNA expression was calculated by the 2−ΔCt method (Applied Biosystems user bulletin no. 2 (P/N 4303859)).
Project description:The aim of our study was to identify a microRNA signature to predict the recurrence in stage II & III CRC patients who were treated with FOLFOX-based adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection of tumors. We performed small RNA sequencing in 71 FFPE surgical specimens, and discovered differentially expressed microRNAs in patients who developed recurrence. Thereafter, selected microRNA biomarkers were validated in independent cohort using qRT-PCR assay.
