  • Comprehensive Molecular Characterization Identifies Distinct Genomic and Immune Hallmarks of Renal Medullary Carcinoma

    Description

    Summary from BioProject: "Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a highly lethal malignancy that mainly afflicts young individuals of African descent and is resistant to all targeted agents used to treat other renal cell carcinomas. Comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic profiling of untreated primary RMC tissues was performed to elucidate the molecular landscape of these tumors. We found that RMC was...

    Melnick, Ari M.
    Description

    Summary from the GEO: "Epigenetic heterogeneity is emerging as a significant phenotypic feature of tumors. In diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs), increased cytosine methylation heterogeneity is associated with poor clinical outcome, yet the biological mechanisms driving epigenetic heterogeneity remain unclear. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA), an enzyme that deaminates and facilitates...

    Description

    Summary from the GEO: "Annotation of small RNAs from 11 Drosophila species for the purpose of non-coding RNA annotation and comparative genomics assessment." Overall design from the GEO: "Small RNA samples from 11 Drosophila species." Abstract Summary: "To assess miRNA evolution across the Drosophila genus, we analyzed several billion small RNA reads across 12 fruit fly species. These data permit...

  • DNA Methylation Dynamics of Germinal Center B Cells Are Mediated by AID

    Authors
    Teater, Matt
    Elemento, Olivier
    Description

    Summary from the GEO: "Changes in DNA methylation are required for the formation of germinal centers (GC), but the mechanisms of such changes are poorly understood. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) has been recently implicated recently in DNA demethylation through its deaminase activity coupled with DNA repair. We investigated the epigenetic function of AID in vivo in germinal center B...

  • SETD2 Loss Creates A Permissive Epigenetic Landscape that Promotes Kidney Cancer Metastasis and Engenders Therapeutic Vulnerabilities

    Cheng, Emily H.
    Description

    Summary from GEO: "SETD2, a H3K36 trimethyltransferase, is frequently mutated in human cancers with the highest prevalence (13%) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Genomic profiling of primary ccRCC tumors reveals a positive correlation between SETD2 mutations and metastasis. However, whether and how SETD2-loss promotes metastasis remains unclear. Here, we detected SETD2 mutations in 24...

    Parada, Luis F.
    Description

    Summary from GEO: "We performed single cell RNA sequencing with eight patient derived xenograft samples to identify quiescent cancer stem cells in glioblastoma. Additionally two samples treated with temozolomide was sequenced to examine the evolution of the cancer stem cells upon chemotherapeutics." Overall design from GEO: "Whole transcriptome single cell RNA sequencing with 10X method."

  • Determinants of Response to Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab in a Phase II Trial of Advanced Salivary Gland Cancer Patients

    Description

    Description from BioProject: "Salivary gland cancers (SGCs) are rare, aggressive cancers that lack effective treatments in the metastatic setting. We report the clinical results and immunogenomic correlates of response from a phase II trial evaluating nivolumab (anti-PD1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA4) in metastatic SGC patients."
