Project description:The aim of our study was to identify gene expression profiles of ductal and lobular carcinomas in relation to normal ductal and lobular cells. We examined ten mastectomy specimens from postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Ductal and lobular tumor and normal cells were microdissected from cryosections. Fifty nanograms of total RNA were amplified and labeled by PCR and in vitro transcription. GCOS pairwise comparison algorithm and rank products have identified multiple genes that are differentially expressed in comparisons between ductal and lobular tumor and normal cell types. The results suggest that these genes are involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, TGFbeta and Wnt signaling. These changes are present in both tumor types but appear to be more prominent in lobular carcinomas. Ten surgical specimens obtained by mastectomy from postmenopausal patients with invasive ductal (IDC) and lobular breast (ILC) carcinomas were investigated. Of these, 5 were IDCs and 5 were ILCs. Tumor and normal tissues from the same mammary gland were identified by an experienced pathologist, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80ºC for further analysis. Microdissection, RNA isolation, amplification, labeling and microarray analysis are described in sample definitions. Samples from particular cell types (normal ductal, normal lobular, tumor ductal, tumor lobular - 10, 10, 5, 5 samples, respectively) were considered as biological replicates and were compared in between.
Project description:Gene expression array analysis on a series of ten different histological special types of invasive breast carcinomas (tubular, micropapillary, mucinous A, mucinous B, endocrine, apocrine, metaplastic, medullary, adenoid cystic, invasive ductal carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells) and invasive lobular carcinoma.<br><br>Note: this experiment was reloaded into ArrayExpress in August 2010 to include mappings between raw and processed data files. It now includes additional dye-swap combined normalized data files.

Project description:Expression profiling of papillary carcinoma of the breast and grade- and ER-matched cases of invasive ductal breast cancer To identify differential expression between papillary carcinomas of the breast and grade- and ER-matched invasive ductal breast cancers, we performed expression profiling of 16 cases of papillary carcinomas of the breast and 16 cases of grade- and ER-matched invasive ducatal carcinoma of no special subtype. We further reviewed the papillary carcinomas of the breast and classified them into 3 subtypes, namely, invasive papillary carcinoma, encapsulated papillary carcinoma and solid papillary carcinoma. We also performed a hypothesis-generating comparison of differential expression between the 3 subtypes of papillary carcinoma of the breast.

Project description:<p>This study comprises prospectively accrued, microdissected fresh frozen samples of multifocal lobular carcinoma <i>in situ</i> (LCIS), ductal carcinoma <i>in situ</i> (DCIS), invasive lobular carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma from patients undergoing prophylactic or therapeutic mastectomies after a diagnosis on LCIS diagnosed and managed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Microdissected samples were subjected to paired-end whole exome sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. The data generated were used to define the landscape of somatic genetic alterations of LCIS, DCIS, invasive lobular carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma, to define clonal relatedness of these lesions and to investigate the clonal shifts in the progression from <i>in situ</i> to invasive breast cancer.</p>
