Exome sequencing identifies somatic point mutations associated with acquired endocrine resistance in breast cancer cell lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Endocrine therapy is an effective treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast tumors, significantly reducing mortality. However, approximately 30% of patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy will experience recurrence within a 15-year period. The mechanisms of endocrine resistance are poorly understood. Understanding the underlying genetic diversity of breast cancers responding differently to endocrine therapy is important for the development of more optimal and individualized treatments strategies.

Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Novel Somatic Mutations in Chinese Breast Cancer Patients
Most breast cancer genomes harbor complex mutational landscapes. Somatic alterations have been predominantly discovered in breast cancer patients of European ancestry; however, little is known about somatic aberration in patients of other ethnic groups including Asians. In the present study, whole-exome sequencing (WES) was conducted in DNA extracted from tumor and matched adjacent normal tissu...
متن کاملCharacterization of the mutational landscape of anaplastic thyroid cancer via whole-exome sequencing.
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a frequently lethal malignancy that is often unresponsive to available therapeutic strategies. The tumorigenesis of ATC and its relationship to the widely prevalent well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas are unclear. We have analyzed 22 cases of ATC as well as 4 established ATC cell lines using whole-exome sequencing. A total of 2674 somatic mutations (121/...

Next-generation sequencing technologies are now common for whole-genome, whole-exome and whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) of tumors to identify point mutations, structural or copy number alterations and changes in gene expression. A substantial number of studies have already been performed for melanoma. One study analysed eight melanoma cell lines with RNA-Seq technology and identified ...
متن کاملIntegrated analysis of somatic mutations and immune microenvironment of multiple regions in breast cancers
Next-generation sequencing technology enables us to analyze the complexity of intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity, which may influence to prognosis of cancer patients. In this study, we collected surgically-resected tumor tissues from five breast cancer patients and characterized three different portions of individual tumors through somatic mutation analysis by whole exome sequencing, T cell...
متن کاملNext-generation sequencing of paired tyrosine kinase inhibitor-sensitive and -resistant EGFR mutant lung cancer cell lines identifies spectrum of DNA changes associated with drug resistance.
Somatic mutations in kinase genes are associated with sensitivity of solid tumors to kinase inhibitors, but patients with metastatic cancer eventually develop disease progression. In EGFR mutant lung cancer, modeling of acquired resistance (AR) with drug-sensitive cell lines has identified clinically relevant EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance mechanisms such as the second-site mut...
