Project description:The similarity of preclinical models to human neuroblastoma tumors was evaluated with scRNAseq. The 13 NB cell lines represent a cross section of disease risk, clinical subtypes, genomic alterations, and disease phenotypes.
Project description:Assess the baseline expression of the genes in the Oncology Biomarker Panel across the panel of ovarian and cervical cancer cell lines. This data will then be compared to the sensitivity of the cell lines to DDR inhibitors. The expression data will be correlated with the sensitivity of the cell lines to see whether determinants of sensitivity described in the literature translate. A hierarchy of genes will be determined. It is expected that the cells that are more sensitive to DDR inhibitors will have decreased expression of the genes known to be determinants of sensitivity.
Project description:For many years, immortalized cell lines have been used as model systems for cancer research. Cell line panels were established for basic research and drug development, but did not cover the full spectrum of leukemia and lymphoma. Therefore, we now developed a novel panel (LL-100), 100 cell lines covering 22 entities of human leukemia and lymphoma including T-cell, B-cell and myeloid malignancies. Importantly, all cell lines are unequivocally authenticated and assigned to the correct tissue. Cell line samples were proven to be free of mycoplasma and virus contamination. Whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of the hundred authenticated leukemia-lymphoma cell lines were conducted with a uniform methodology to complement existing data on these publicly available cell lines. This part captures WES. This data set will be useful for understanding the function of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and to develop targeted therapies.
Project description:A panel of 17 human melanoma cell lines with known BRAF and NRAS mutation status was stimulated with TNF-alpha for 72 hours. The goal of the study was to correlate the transcriptional response in BRAF versus NRAS mutated melanoma cell lines.
Project description:A panel of 17 human melanoma cell lines with known BRAF and NRAS mutation status was stimulated with TNF-alpha for 72 hours. The goal of the study was to correlate the transcriptional response in BRAF versus NRAS mutated melanoma cell lines. Total RNA was obtained from a panel of 17 human melanoma cell lines treated for 72 hours with TNF-alpha or left untreated. Gene expression profiling was done using the Illumina Human HT12 v4 platform.
