Project description:Here, we report a case with cerebral tumor with unclassifiable morphological/methylation-based features, well-defined border with the surrounding cerebral tissue, and a novel gene fusion detected by mRNA sequencing
Project description:Intracranial pediatric germ cell tumors (GCTs) have different histological differentiations, prognosis and clinical behaviors. Prognosis of patients with germinoma and mature teratoma is good, while patients with other types of GCTs, termed as nongerminomatous malignant germ cell tumors (NGMGCTs), require more extensive drug and irradiation treatment regimen. The mechanisms underlying different prognosis of various GCT subgroups remain elusive. We presented the first miRNA profile of pediatric primary intracranial GCTs. 12 central nervous system GCT cases with different histological subtypes are subjected to miRNA expression analysis. The histological subtypes are germinoma, mixed GCT of germinoma and mature teratoma , immature teratoma , mixed GCTs of NGMGCTs category, yolk sac tumor, immature teratoma, and embryonal carcinoma.

Project description:The primary aim of the present study was to identify differences on the transcription level between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms as well as normal intracranial arteries in human. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Global gene expression profiling was performed in human intracranial aneurysms both ruptured (n=8) and unruptured (n=6) as well as in control intracranial arteries (middle meningeal artery, MMA; n=5) using oligonucleotide microarrays.
Project description:Gene expression information is useful in prioritizing candidate genes in linkage intervals. The data can also identify pathways involved in the pathophysiology of disease. We used microarrays to identify which genes are expressed in either intracranial arteries (control) or in intracranial aneurysms (case), and can therefore contribute to the disease phenotypes. We used microarrays to identify the pathway membership of expressed genes and the overrepresentation of pathways with expressed genes in the known linkage intervals for intracranial aneurysms. Keywords: Characterization of expression in both diseased and non-diseased intracranial arteries.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of 20 intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET-CREB fusions encompassing both intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumors and intracranial angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma-like neoplasms. The Illumina Infinium EPIC 850k Human DNA Methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpG sites of genomic DNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue of 20 intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET-CREB fusions.

The mechanisms underlying different prognosis of various GCT subgroups remain elusive. We presented a distinct mRNA profile correlating with GCT histological differentiation and prognosis. 13 central nervous system GCT cases with different histological subtypes are subjected to transcriptome analysis. The histological subtypes are germinoma, mixed GCT of germinoma and mature teratoma , immature teratoma , mixed GCTs of NGMGCTs category, yolk sac tumor, immature teratoma, and embryonal carcinoma.
Project description:Based on sequencing technology to evaluate the differential lncRNA and mRNA expression of intracranial aneurysms. Provide ideas for the study of epigenetic regulation of intracranial aneurysms
Project description:Affymetrix OncoScan data from primary and metastatic intracranial lesions collected for the validation of our intraoperative brain tumor classification with nanopore sequencing. All samples were processed from FFPE by our clinical lab using the standard protocol for clinical samples.
