Project description:To investigate the differences of transcriptional activities between oropharyngeal squamous cell caricnoma and small cell carcinoma, we performed a transcriptomic analysis using high throoughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
Project description:The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is increasing and effective treatment for targeting the subset of patients at high risk for recurrence remains a significant clinical challenge. In this study, pre-treatment tumour biopsies were used for proteomic analysis by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) to identify protein and peptide biomarker signatures able to stratify patients at low, intermediate, or high-risk of recurrence. For further details, refer to the publication that accompanies this data deposition.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and primary oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue samples, some infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in tissue samples. Samples included 46 oropharyngeal SCC primary tumors and 46 normal adjacent mucosal samples. For each tumor sample, HPV status (positivity based on both DNA and E6/E7 RNA) and p16 immunohistochemistry status is included. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 46 primary tumors and 46 matched adjacent normal samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip.

Project description:Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is diagnosed in 93,000 patients worldwide per year and 51,000 annual deaths can be attributed to this disease. OPSCCs are either human papillomavirus associated (HPV-positive) cancers or non-virally induced, primarily tobacco and alcohol associated (HPV-negative) cancers. MS analysis enabled the identification of naturally HLA-presented peptides in OPSCC tumor tissue. By comparative profiling against benign HLA ligandomic datasets, we demonstrated that tumor-associated peptides are HLA-presented on the cell surfaces of OPSCCs. The established warehouse of OPSCC-associated peptides can be used for downstream immunogenicity testing and peptide-based immunotherapy in (semi-) personalized strategies.
Project description:DNA methylation analysis in oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma (OPSCC) samples and oropharyngeal non-cancerous mucosa samples. Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 485,577 CpG sites. Total samples included 89 OPSCC samples and 5 non-cancerous mucosa samples.
