Next-generation sequencing identified new oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in human hepatic tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic studies were performed in a French series of hepatocellular carcinomas. New oncogenes (NFE2L2) and tumor suppressor genes (IRF2, ARID1A and RPS6K3) were found to be recurrently altered. Moreover, a genotoxic signature was identified, raising the possible implication of a genotoxic exposure in the etiology of HCC, which remains to be characterized.

Understanding the Significance of Mutations in Tumor Suppressor Genes Identified Using Next-Generation Sequencing: A Case Report
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumors has been heralded as a promising tool to identify 'actionable' abnormalities susceptible to therapies targeting these mutated genes. Inhibiting the oncoprotein expressed from a single dominant mutated gene (oncogene) forms the basis for the success of most of the targeted gene therapies approved in the last several years. The well over 20 FDA-approved ...
متن کاملMolecular predictive markers in tumors of the gastrointestinal tract
Gastrointestinal malignancies are among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Like all human malignancies they are characterized by accumulation of mutations which lead to inactivation of tumor suppressor genes or activation of oncogenes. Advances in Molecular Biology techniques have allowed for more accurate analysis of tumors' genetic profiling using new breakthrough technolo...

The objective of the present study was to determine whether the alterations of cancer predisposition genes were different between radiosensitive and radioresistant patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). A total of 21 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were included in this study. All patients were treated with standardized radiotherapy. Sixteen of the tumors were clinically radiosens...
متن کاملDeep sequencing reveals differential expression of microRNAs in favorable versus unfavorable neuroblastoma
Small non-coding RNAs, in particular microRNAs(miRNAs), regulate fine-tuning of gene expression and can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Differential miRNA expression has been reported to be of functional relevance for tumor biology. Using next-generation sequencing, the unbiased and absolute quantification of the small RNA transcriptome is now feasible. Neuroblastoma(NB) is an embry...
متن کاملCandidate Luminal B Breast Cancer Genes Identified by Genome, Gene Expression and DNA Methylation Profiling
Breast cancers (BCs) of the luminal B subtype are estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), highly proliferative, resistant to standard therapies and have a poor prognosis. To better understand this subtype we compared DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs), DNA promoter methylation, gene expression profiles, and somatic mutations in nine selected genes, in 32 luminal B tumors with those observed in 156 BC...
