Aneuploidy, whole chromosome or arm imbalance, is a near-universal characteristic of human cancers. In 10,522 cancer genomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas, aneuploidy was correlated with TP53 mutation, somatic mutation rate, and expression proliferation genes. Aneuploidy anti-correlated immune signaling genes, due to decreased leukocyte infiltrates in high-aneuploidy samples. Chromosome arm-level alterations show cancer-specific patterns, including loss 3p squamous We applied genome...
<h2>Summary</h2> DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways modulate cancer risk, progression, and therapeutic response. We systematically analyzed somatic alterations to provide a comprehensive view of DDR deficiency across 33 types. Mutations with accompanying loss heterozygosity were observed in over 1/3 genes, including <i>TP53</i> <i>BRCA1/2</i>. Other prevalent included epigenetic silencing the direct genes <i>EXO5</i>, <i>MGMT</i>, <i>ALKBH3</i> ∼20% samples. Homologous recombination (HRD) was...
Highlights•871 predisposition variants/CNVs discovered in 8% of 10,389 cases 33 cancers•Pan-cancer approach identified shared variants and genes across cancers•33 affecting activating domains oncogenes showed high expression•47 VUSs prioritized using cancer enrichment, LOH, expression other evidenceSummaryWe conducted the largest investigation to date, discovering 853 pathogenic or likely from types. Twenty-one single cross-cancer associations, including novel associations SDHA melanoma...
We analyzed molecular data on 2,579 tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) of four gynecological types plus breast. Our aims were to identify shared and unique features, clinically significant subtypes, potential therapeutic targets. found 61 somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) 46 significantly mutated genes (SMGs). Eleven SCNAs 11 SMGs had not been identified in previous TCGA studies the individual tumor types. functionally estrogen receptor-regulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)...
Abstract Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS), conducted by our group and others, have identified loci that harbor risk variants for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Human are enriched polymorphisms affect gene expression, some known to associate with expression changes in the brain. Postulating many confer via transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, we analyzed levels brain tissue of subjects AD related diseases. Herein, describe collective datasets...
Molecular classification of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) using transcriptional profiling has proven to be complex and difficult validate across studies. We determined gene expression profiles 174 well-annotated HGSOCs demonstrate prognostic significance the prespecified TCGA Network signatures. Furthermore, we confirm presence four HGSOC subtypes a de novo classification. Survival differed statistically significantly between (log rank, P = .006) was best for immunoreactive-like...
Summary Downregulation of the transcription factor AtMYB103 using transgenic technology results in early tapetal degeneration and pollen aberration during anther development Arabidopsis thaliana . This paper describes functional analysis gene three knock‐out mutants. Two male sterile mutants, ms188‐1 ms188‐2 , were generated by ethyl‐methane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis. A map‐based cloning approach was used, ms188 mapped to a 95.8‐kb region on chromosome 5 containing an factor. Sequence...
Cytotoxic CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) participate in immune control of epithelial ovarian cancer; however, little is known about prognostic patterns TILs by histotype and relation to other clinical factors.
Highlights•SCCs show chromosome or methylation alterations affecting multiple related genes•These regulate squamous stemness, differentiation, growth, survival, and inflammation•Copy-quiet SCCs have hypermethylated (FANCF, TET1) mutated (CASP8, MAPK-RAS) genes•Potential targets include ΔNp63, WEE1, IAPs, PI3K-mTOR/MAPK, immune responsesSummaryThis integrated, multiplatform PanCancer Atlas study co-mapped identified distinguishing molecular features of cell carcinomas (SCCs) from five sites...
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer therapeutics. Desmoplastic malignancies, such as cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), have an abundant tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). However, to date, ICB monotherapy in malignancies been ineffective. Herein, we identify tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) the primary source of programmed death–ligand 1 (PD-L1) human and murine CCA. In a model CCA, recruited PD-L1+ TAMs facilitated CCA progression. TAM failed decrease progression due...
Abstract DNA polymorphism is the basis to develop molecular markers that are widely used in genetic mapping today. A genome-wide rice (Oryza sativa) database has been constructed this work using genomes of Nipponbare, a cultivar japonica, and 93-11, indica. This contains 1,703,176 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 479,406 Insertion/Deletions (InDels), approximately one SNP every 268 bp InDel 953 genome. Both SNPs InDels were experimentally validated. Of 109 randomly selected SNPs, 107...
During mitosis, chromosomes are highly condensed and transcription is silenced globally. One explanation for transcriptional repression the reduced accessibility of factors. To directly test this hypothesis to investigate dynamics mitotic chromatin, we evaluate exchange kinetics several RNA polymerase I factors nucleosome components on chromatin in living cells. We demonstrate that these rapidly off ribosomal DNA clusters varies at different phases mitosis. In addition, component H1c-GFP...
miR-182 is one of the most significantly up-regulated miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Metastasis suppressor 1 (MTSS1), target gene miR-182, plays an important role metastasis cancers. However, it remains unclear what does function and mechanism MTSS1play HCC. expression was tested 86 cases paired HCC normal tissues by real-time PCR relationships between clinicopathological parameters were analyzed. The MTSS1 evaluated immunohistochemistry western blot above its correlation with...

Deleterious were identified 32 (3.6%) 28 (3.1%) 26 (2.9%) RAD51C. Ten somatically sequenced had alterations, six (2.1%) BRCA1 four (1.4%) BRCA2. Fifty two (10.8%)...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a major form of chronic inflammation that can frequently progress to colon cancer. Several studies have demonstrated massive infiltration neutrophils and macrophages into the lamina propria submucosa in progression UC-associated carcinogenesis. Macrophages contribute development colitis-associated cancer (CAC). However, role not well understood. To better understand involvement tumor-associated (TANs) regulation CAC, we used mouse CAC model produced by...
