The challenge of gene expression profiling in heterogeneous clinical samples.
Almost all samples used in tumor biology, such as tissues and bodily fluids, are heterogeneous, i.e., consist of different cell types. Evaluating the degree of heterogeneity in samples can increase our knowledge on processes such as clonal selection and metastasis. In addition, generating expression profiles from specific sub populations of cells can reveal their distinct functions. Tissue hete...
متن کاملMicroRNA profiling in hepatocellular tumors is associated to clinical features and oncogene/tumor suppressor gene mutations
Molecular classifications defining new tumor subtypes has been recently refined using genetic and transcriptomic analyses of benign and malignant hepatocellular tumors. Here, we performed microRNA (miRNA) profiling in two series of fully annotated liver tumors to uncover associations between oncogene/tumors suppressors’ mutations, clinical and pathological features. Expression levels of 250 miR...

متن کاملInferring the Temporal Order of Cancer Gene Mutations in Individual Tumor Samples
The temporal order of cancer gene mutations in tumors is essential for understanding and treating the disease. Existing methods are unable to infer the order of mutations that are identified at the same time in individual tumor samples, leaving the heterogeneity of the order unknown. Here, we show that through a complex network-based approach, which is based on the newly defined statistic -carc...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of circulating tumor cells in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Determining the transcriptional profile of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may allow the acquisition of clinically relevant information while overcoming tumor heterogeneity-related biases associated with use of tissue samples for biomarker assessment. However, such molecular characterization is challenging because CTCs are rare and outnumbered by blood cells. METHODS Here, we descri...
