Project description:This study is part of MD Anderson Cancer Center CRC Moon Shot. We used single cell RNAsequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the diversity of CRC.

Project description:To evaluate the differential potential affected by SMARCE1 -MD/MD(R42A) , we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of Smarce1-MD and control Smarce1-MD (R42A) embrynoic body.
Project description:<p>Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States. This is in large part due to the rapidly fatal course of this disease, as the vast majority of patients die within months of diagnosis and the five-year survival rate is less than 5. We have brought together over 8000 participants from 9 studies of pancreatic cancer, to conduct a GWAS of pancreatic cancer. The studies were drawn from the Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control consortium and include case-control studies from the United States, Europe and Australia. Sites include: Johns Hopkins National Familial Pancreas Tumor Registry, Mayo Clinic Biospecimen Resource for Pancreas Research, Ontario Pancreas Cancer Study (OPCS), Yale University, MD Anderson Case Control Study, Queensland Pancreatic Cancer Study, University of California San Francisco Molecular Epidemiology of Pancreatic Cancer Study, International Agency of Cancer Research and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center</p>
Project description:This CYCling Lynch patients for Exercise and Prevention (CYCLE-P) trial was a prospective, non-randomized controlled trial conducted at the Familial High-Risk Gastrointestinal and Cancer Prevention Clinic of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Twenty-one LS participants with a confirmed pathogenic mutation in one of four DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes were enrolled between April 2018 and January 2019. Follow-up was conducted 1-year from the start of the intervention. Statistical analysis by both per-protocol and intention-to-treat was performed from March to May 2021.
Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the third most common cancer in the US, with 15% of cases displaying Microsatellite Instability (MSI) secondary to Lynch Syndrome (LS) or somatic hypermethylation of the MLH1 promoter. A cohort of rhesus macaques from our institution developed spontaneous mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) CRC with a notable fraction harboring a pathogenic germline mutation in MLH1. DNA methylation and transcriptome analysis was performed to evaluate the rhesus macaque as a model organism to study carcinogenesis, develop immunotherapies and vaccines, and implement chemoprevention approaches pertinent to sporadic MSI-H and LS CRC in humans.
