Project description:The goal of this study is to identify downstream pathways, diagnostic markers, and potential therapeutic targets for IFS/CMN. Global gene expression of 14 cellular mesoblastic nephromas/infantile fibrosarcoma was compared with 10 RT, 16 clear cell sarcomas of the kidney, and 15 Wilms tumors using Affymetrix U133A arrays to identify genetic pathways that clarify the pathogenesis of Rhabdoid Tumors and to discover new therapeutic targets for these tumors
Project description:This study uses microarray analysis to examine the fate of multiple C-ion-irradiated tumors in vivo to gain a comprehensive overview of the changes in gene expression induced by C-ion irradiation. Four murine tumors were irradiated in vivo with C-ions at a single dose, and gamma-rays were used as a reference beam. Keywords: mouse squamous cell carcinoma and fibrosarcoma, carbon ion-irradiation, gamma-irradiation, resected sample, transplanted tissues
Project description:We detected DNA methylation of a fibrosarcoma with ESCC sample and the corresponding normal sample to identify the aberrant DNA methylation status in this rare disease.
Project description:Amoeboid and mesenchymal migration of cancer cells both contribute to metastatic spreading of tumors. To characterize proteome changes underlying the different migratory modes, we performed mass spectrometry profiling of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells undergoing mesenchymal-amoeboid transition induced by either doxycycline-inducible constitutively active RhoA or dasatinib treatment. Cells were kept in three-dimensional collagen gels with or without induction for 48 hours, lysed and processed for mass spectrometry analysis. In case of the inducible RhoA system, we also performed parallel two-dimensional experiments with cells on top of a dense layer of collagen (it was not feasible with dasatinib treatment).
