Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of nervous system in locust Locusta migratoria manilensis. By obtaining over 57,000,000 bases of sequence from central nervous system, we generated 101836 contigs and 69440 scaffolds. We finally get 41179 unigene with an average length of 570bp. There are 5519 unigenes beyond the length of 1000bp. Using BLAST searches of the NR, NT, Swiss-Prot, KEGG and COG databases we are able to identify 13552 unigene (E<0.0001). Comprehensive assessment of all the unigenes by comparing with the studied genes of other insects nervous system reveals that our unigene are broadly representative of the transcriptome of insect nervous system. Our data provides the most large-scale EST-project for locust nervous system, which greatly benefits the exploring of this insect. In addition, we identify a large number of novel nervous genes which can be used in systematic studies of locust and other insects. Examination of 1 sample
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE25297: Genome-wide gene expression comparison (primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) vs normal lymph node) GSE25298: Genomic aberrations in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) Refer to individual Series
Project description:RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal metastases.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 works in treating patients with central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal cancer.
Project description:Primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL) is a rare extra-nodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and accounts for 3%-4% of central nervous system tumors. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of cerebrospinal fluid derived extracellular vesicles in PCNSL. Extracellular vesicles(EVs) are nanoscale vesicles with bilayer lipid membrane released by almost all cell types. EVs are present in body fluids, including urine, blood and CSF. Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) is a colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord and acts as lymph in the central nervous system. CSF-derived EVs contain proteins from neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglias. Studies of CSF EVs are mainly limited by the amount of EVs isolated from per milliliter of CSF and the volume of CSF acquired from one patient. Here, we provide a label-free quantitative phospho-proteome profiling of EVs separated from PCNSL and non-PCNSL CSF samples by an earlier introduced functional magnetic beads called EVTRAP together with highly sensitive timsTOF Pro.
Project description:Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) is a diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) confined to the CNS. A genome-wide gene expression comparison between PCNSL and non-CNS DLBCL was performed, the latter consisting of both nodal and extranodal DLBCL (nDLBCL and enDLBCL), to identify a “CNS signature.” Keywords: disease state analysis
