The cancer stem cell (CSC) concept has been proposed as an attractive theory to explain development, and CSCs themselves have considered targets for the development of diagnostics therapeutics. However, many unanswered questions concerning existence slow cycling/quiescent, drug-resistant remain. Here we report establishment colon CSC lines, interconversion between a proliferating state, reconstitution tumor hierarchy from CSCs. Stable lines having properties were established human after...
Abstract Background : The precise mechanism governing the generation of haematopoietic stem cells still remains to be understood, partly because molecules required for early haematopoiesis have not fully been identified. Results We identified a novel gene expressed in embryonic tissues, designated ELYS (for large molecule derived from yolk sac), which has no significant homology with any other known molecules. Based on cDNA sequence, mouse protein is composed 2243 amino acid residues and...
Abstract Overcoming resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors is an important issue in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptome analysis shows that adenocarcinoma can be divided into three molecular subtypes: terminal respiratory unit (TRU), proximal proliferative (PP), and inflammatory (PI), squamous cell carcinoma (LUSQ) four. However, the immunological characteristics of these subtypes are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated landscape NSCLC tissues...
Resistance to immune checkpoint blockade remains challenging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tumor-infiltrating leukocyte (TIL) quantity, composition, and activation status profoundly influence responsiveness immunotherapy. This study examined the landscape NSCLC tumor microenvironment by analyzing TIL profiles of 281 fresh resected tissues. Unsupervised clustering based on numbers percentages 30 types classified adenocarcinoma (LUAD) squamous carcinoma (LUSQ) into cold,...
Tumor nests in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) have a hierarchical structure resembling epithelium. The consist of basal-like cells on the periphery and layers keratinocyte-like that differentiate towards center nest, forming keratin pearls. Reproducing this spatial heterogeneity vitro models would be useful for understanding biology LUSC. Here, we established three-dimensional (3D) culture model with epithelial using LUSC lines PLR327F-LD41 MCC001F, in-house. When were cultured mixture...
Assessing how gene expression analysis by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) correlates to a unique morphology is increasingly necessary, and laser capture microdissection (LCM) critical research tool for discovering the genes responsible in region of interest (ROI). Because RNA-Seq requires high-quality RNA, sample preparation procedure that can preserve give required quality essential. A PAXgene®-fixed paraffin-embedded (XFPE) block satisfy need but there are few reports on adapting method LCM, such...
