Project description:tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma is one kind of non-small-cell lung cancer with limit treatment options. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the molecular characteristic of tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma, aiming to recognized this disease deeply and provide potential treatment plan in the future.
Project description:We performed spatial transcriptomics of a tumor section from a patient post-treatment with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation was carried out using an anti-MYB antibody in PDX-derived ACCX11 adenoid cystic carcinoma cells. Input samples were extracted prior to the addition of antibody.
Project description:To identify the transcriptomic signature of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland (LGACC), we performed RNA sequencing on LGACC tumor samples and normal lacrimal gland samples.
Project description:We analyzed ten adenoid cystic carcinomas of head and neck by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) using DNA chips spotted 4,030 BAC clones. After data smoothing by the adaptive weights smoothing (AWS) procedure with the gain and loss analysis of DNA (GLAD) algorithm, a total of 89 DNA copy number aberrations (DSCNAs) were detected. The frequent (≥30%) DSCNAs were loss of 6q24, 6q25, 8p23, 6q25, and 6q23 and gains of 6q23, 8p23, 9p11-13, and 22q13. High-level gain was detected on 12q12-15 including MDM2 in two cases. These two cases showed immunohistochemically positive status of MDM2 and negative status of p53 and p21. Furthermore, the total number of DSCNAs was significantly greater in ACC with loss of 6q than in other ACC, in ACC without loss of 8p23 than in other ACC, and in ACC with 8p23 gain than in ACC with 8p23 loss, respectively. Though there is a limit in the evidence, a-CGH detected several candidate chromosomal imbalances associated with DSCNA accumulation in ACC. 6q loss, 12q gain aCGH DNA copy number aberrations screening in human cancer adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).
Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is one of the most common malignancies that arise in the salivary glands, with an incidence of 4.5 per 1,000,000. It can also arise in glandular tissue closely related to salivary glands in the lacrimal gland, nasal passages and tracheobronchial tree, as well as in glands of the breast and vulva. At all of these sites, it is characterized by a distinctive histology of basaloid epithelial cells arranged in cribriform or tubular patterns, usually demonstrating abundant hyaline extracellular matrix secretion and some degree of myoepithelial differentiation. ACC is generally a slow-growing tumor characterized by a protracted clinical course, usually well over 5 years in duration, marked by regional recurrence, distant metastasis and/or spread along peripheral nerves. A recurrent chromosomal translocation, t(6;9)(q23;p21), has been identified in ACC, and recently it has been discovered that in a majority of ACC the MYB gene on chromosome 6 is fused to the 3’ terminus of the NFIB gene on chromosome 9, creating a fusion gene product resulting in increased MYB-related transcriptional activation. Recently it has been determined that most cell lines with attribution of ACC derivation are either contaminants of other cell lines or do not have the characteristic MYB-NFIB translocation. Also, there are no animal models of this histologically and genetically defined tumor type. To address the paucity of experimental and pre-clinical models systems of ACC, we have for several years been establishing xenograft tumor lines from clinical samples of ACC. We describe our experience with these models and their characterization here. Analysis of 12 xenografts of human adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) along with 10 samples of ACC directly from humans. Note, that 12 of these samples are paired primary ACC & xenograft ACC from the same individual (6 pairs in total).
