We analyzed Purkinje cell transcriptome dynamics in the developing mouse cerebellum during the first three postnatal weeks, a key developmental period equivalent to the third trimester in human cerebellar development. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of developmental Purkinje cell transcriptomes and provides a valuable dataset for gene network analyses and biological questions on genes implicated in cerebellar and Purkinje cell development. Overall design: Laser capture microdissection was employed to obtain a highly enriched population of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Deep sequencing was performed on RNA isolated from 1000 Purkinje cells at five developmental timepoints (postnatal days P0, P4, P8, P14 and P21) in triplicate.

View SamplesEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Understanding molecular changes in ESCC should improve identification of risk factors in molecular subtypes and provide potential targets for early detection and therapy. To better characterize molecular changes in ESCC, we followed up a previous cDNA array study with additional discovery and confirmatory studies in new ESCC cases using alternative methods. We profiled global gene expression (Affymetrix U133A/B chip) for discovery and confirmation, and validated selected dysregulated genes with additional RNA (qRT-PCR, N=51) or protein studies (immunohistochemistry [IHC] of tumor tissue microarray [TMA], N=275).We also found genes associated with survival.

View SamplesWe have identified genes that are differentially expressed between the bladders of UPII-SV40Tag mice and their age-matched wild-type littermates at 3, 6, 20, and 30 weeks of age. These are ages that correspond to premalignant, carcinoma in situ, and early-stage and later stage invasive UCC, respectively

View SamplesIn the current study we focused on biallelic loss and its relation to expression of mRNA and miRNA in ESCC using arrays of 500K SNP, mRNA, and miRNA in 30 cases from a high-risk region of China. Our main results are the followings: 1) 77 genes had biallelic loss in at least 10% of ESCC samples, and most of them are located on chromosome 3p (gene number, n=42), 9p (n=14), 5q (n=10) and 4p (n=7); 2) 52 of 77 genes had signals in both tumor and matched normal on Affymetrix Hu 133 array whereas 79% of them (n=41) showed lower expression levels in patients with biallelic loss (group 1) than that without biallelic loss (group 2) and 19% (n=10) of genes showed higher expression levels in group1 than in group2; 3) 70 miRNAs targeting 35 genes were analyzed, and expression levels of 50 miRNAs (71%) were high while expression levels of their targets were low, and 20 miRNA (29%) showed low expression while their target genes showed high expression; 4) 60 miRNAs target 32 affected genes showed that 43% of (n=26) miRNA expression level were low in group 1 than in group 2 and 57% (n=34) miRNA showed higher expression levels in group 1 than in group 2; and the expression patterns of miRNA and genes affected are complex when comparison the two groups of patients.

View SamplesRecent genomic approaches have suggested the existence of multiple distinct subtypes of medulloblastoma. We studied a large cohort of medulloblastomas to determine how many subgroups of the disease exist, how they differ, and the extent of overlap between subgroups. We determined gene expression profiles and DNA copy number aberrations for 103 primary medulloblastomas. Bioinformatic tools were used for class discovery of medulloblastoma subgroups based on the most informative genes in the dataset. Immunohistochemistry for subgroup-specific signature genes was used to determine subgroup affiliation for 294 non-overlapping medulloblastomas on two independent tissue microarrays (TMAs). Multiple unsupervised analyses of transcriptional profiles identified four distinct, non-overlapping molecular variants: WNT, SHH, Group C, and Group D. Supervised analysis of these four subgroups revealed significant subgroup-specific demographics, histology, metastatic status, and DNA copy number aberrations. Immunohistochemistry for DKK1 (WNT), SFRP1 (SHH), NPR3 (Group C), and KCNA1 (Group D) could reliably and uniquely classify formalin fixed medulloblastomas in ~98% of cases. Group C patients (NPR3 +ve tumors) exhibited a significantly diminished progression free and overall survival irrespective of their metastatic status. Our integrative genomics approach to a large cohort of medulloblastomas has identified four disparate subgroups with distinct demographics, clinical presentation, transcriptional profiles, genetic abnormalities, and clinical outcome. Medulloblastomas can be reliably assigned to subgroups through immunohistochemistry, thereby making medulloblastoma sub-classification widely available. Future research on medulloblastoma and the development of clinical trials should take into consideration these four distinct types of medulloblastoma.

View SamplesTGF-betas have complex roles in tumorigenesis, with context-dependent effects that can either suppress or promote tumor progression. Our goal was to use integrated genomic approaches in a model of human breast cancer progression to identify core TGF-beta-regulated genes that specifically reflect the tumor suppressor activity of TGF-beta. The model consisted of the non-tumorigenic MCF10A (M1), the premalignant MCF10AT1k.cl2 (M2), the early malignant MCF10Ca1h (M3) and the highly malignant, metastatic MCF10Ca1a.cl1 (M4) cell lines. We have previously shown that tumor suppressor activity of TGF-beta is lost in the highly malignant M4 cells.
