The immunosuppressive microenvironment in glioblastoma (GBM) prevents an efficient antitumoral immune response and enables tumor formation growth. Although understanding of the nature immunosuppression is still largely lacking, it important for successful cancer treatment through system modulation. To gain insight into GBM, we performed a computational analysis to model relative cell content type each GBM sample from Cancer Genome Atlas RNA-seq data set. We uncovered high variability...
Abstract The tumor immune microenvironment (TiME) of human central nervous system (CNS) tumors remains to be comprehensively deciphered. Here, we employed flow cytometry and RNA sequencing analysis for a deep data-driven dissection diverse TiME uncover noncanonical cell types in CNS by using seven from five patients. Myeloid subsets comprised classical microglia, monocyte-derived macrophages, neutrophils, two myeloid subsets: CD3 + myeloids CD19 myeloids. T lymphocyte included...
Background & Aims: Patients with colorectal cancer have heterogeneous clinical responses to chemotherapy, although guidelines advise little variability in treatment selection based on molecular tumor features. Precision oncology research typically utilizes patient-derived organoids (PDTO) predict outcomes, but such efforts are often not directed towards identification of factors underlying differential therapy. Methods: Bulk RNA-sequencing was performed treatment-naive PDTOs, and gene...
Abstract Prostate cancer treatment resistance is a significant challenge facing the field. Genomic and transcriptomic profiling have partially elucidated mechanisms through which cells escape treatment, but their relation toward tumor microenvironment (TME) remains elusive. Here we present comprehensive landscape of prostate TME at multiple points in standard timeline employing single-cell RNA-sequencing spatial transcriptomics data from 120 patients. We identify club-like as key epithelial...
The proprotein convertase enzyme FURIN promotes the proteolytic maturation of pro-proteins and thereby it serves as an important factor for maintaining cellular homeostasis. In T cells, is critical regulatory cell dependent peripheral immune tolerance intact helper polarization. enzymatic activity directly associated with its expression levels, but genetic determinants cell-type specific Furin gene regulation have remained elusive. By exploring histone acetyltransferase p300 binding patterns...

25 Background: The brain tumor immune microenvironment (TiME) is characterised by suppression of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes. lymphocyte niche activity particularly downregulated within this TiME milieu. Methods: Here, using data-driven approaches in flow cytometry and RNA sequencing analysis, we aimed at dissecting leukocyte cell types infiltrating human TiME. Results: Unsupervised clustering provided T subsets including double-negative (CD3 + CD4 - CD8 ) cells (DNT). Our DNT phenotype...
Abstract Purpose Extent of brain tumor resection continues to be one the central decisions taken during standard care in glioma patients. Here, we aimed evaluate most essential molecular factors, such as IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase) mutation gliomas classification with patient-derived organoids (PGOs) using differential mobility spectrometry (DMS). Methods prospectively recruited 12 patients, 6 IDH-mutated and wild-type tumors, from which PGOs were generated ex-vivo . Altogether, 320 DMS...
