The vast majority of supratentorial ependymomas (ST-EPNs) have few mutations other than chromosomal rearrangements on chromosome 11, most generating a fusion between C11orf95 and RELA (CR). This CR fusion can transform stem cells ex vivo rendering them oncogenic and may possess NF-?B activity, which has been proposed to be a mechanism of oncogenesis. However, it is not known whether CR is sufficient for EPN formation in vivo, and from what cell type and location. We found that CR is sufficient to form tumors from cells in the ependymal zone in mice that show many molecular and histologic similarities to human ST-EPN. Furthermore, the activation of NF-?B by this fusion protein appears minimal and not related to its oncogenic activity Overall design: C11orf95-RELA is a potent oncogene for supratentorial ependymoma

View SamplesThe goals of this study were to determine global differences in transcript expression and regulation between MM cells that are sensitive or insensitive to lovastatin-induced apoptosis. To this end, two sensitive (KMS11 and H929) and two insensitive (LP1 and SKMM1) MM cell lines treated with 20uM lovastatin or an ethanol vehicle control for 16 hours. mRNA was extracted and prepared for mRNA expression microarrays (HG-U133 Plus 2) in triplicate.

A 15-gene prognostic classifier for NSCLC was identified from mRNA expression profiling of tumor samples from the NCIC CTG JBR.10 trial. Here, we assessed its value in an independent set of cases.

View SamplesAn important question for the use of the mouse as a model for studying human disease is the degree of functional conservation of genetic control pathways from human to mouse. The human placenta and mouse placenta show structural similarities but there has been no systematic attempt to assess their molecular similarities or differences. We built a comprehensive database of protein and microarray data for the highly vascular exchange region micro-dissected from the human and mouse placenta near-term. Abnormalities in this region are associated with two of the most common and serious complications of human pregnancy, maternal preeclampsia (PE) and fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), each disorder affecting ~5% of all pregnancies.
