Project description:We describe an 8 year old child who had disseminated anaplastic medulloblastoma and a deleterious heterozygous BRCA2 6174delT germline mutation. Molecular profiling was consistent with Group 4 medulloblastoma. The posterior fossa mass was resected and the patient received intensive chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation. Despite this, the patient succumbed to a second recurrence of his medulloblastoma, which presented eight months after diagnosis as malignant pleural and peritoneal effusions. Continuous medulloblastoma cell lines were isolated from the original tumor (CHLA-01-MED) and the malignant pleural effusion (CHLA-01R-MED). Here we provide their analyses, including in vitro and in vivo growth, drug sensitivity, comparative genomic hybridization and next generation sequencing analysis. In addition to the BRCA2 6174delT, the medulloblastoma cells had amplification of MYC, deletion at Xp11.2 and isochromosome 17, but no structural variations or overexpression of GFI1 or GFI1B. To our knowledge, this is the first pair of diagnosis/recurrence medulloblastoma cell lines, the only medulloblastoma cell lines with BRCA2 6174delT described to date, and the first reported case of a child with medulloblastoma associated with a germline BRCA2 6174delT who did not also have Fanconi anemia. Continuous medulloblastoma cell lines were isolated from the original tumor (CHLA-01-MED) and the malignant pleural effusion (CHLA-01R-MED). Here we provide their analyses, including in vitro and in vivo growth, drug sensitivity, comparative genomic hybridization with Agilent 400k CGH arrays and whole transcriptome RNASeq analysis.

Project description:To explore the expression pattern of circular RNAs (circRNAs) and their biological functions in malignant pleural effusion, we surveyed the circRNA expression profiles of 3 lung adenocarcinoma-associated malignant pleural effusion (LA-MPE) and 3 tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) from clinical patients using Clariom D human microarray.
Project description:We performed a cytoscanHD array to analyze copy number variations in the genome of 33 human pleural mesothelioma cell lines established from patient pleural effusion. We were particularly interested in the analysis of the p21.3 region of chromosome 9 which contains CDKN2A tumor suppressor genes and the gene encoding type I interferons that are often deleted and confer sensitivity to oncolytic Measles virus
Project description:we examined 24 pericardial effusion patients and obtained pericardial fluid. To identify novel biomarker for detection cancer, detected transcriptome-based molecualr signature of compare pathologic cancer patients and non-cancer patients.
