Increased BRAF copy number in lung adenocarcinoma
Point mutation of the BRAF gene is a genetic event that occurs in a subset of lung adenocarcinoma cases. For example, BRAF V600E is a driver mutation that can be effectively targeted using selective BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors. The present study hypothesized that an increase in BRAF copy number may be correlated with certain clinicopathological features of lung adenocarcinoma in Japanese patient...
متن کاملIncreased FGFR1 copy number in lung squamous cell carcinomas.
The basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), via activation of its receptor, FGFR1, has been postulated to be an important inducer of host stromal response and angiogenesis. More recently, FGFR1 amplifications were investigated using large-scale single nucleotide polymorphism arrays in lung cancer. We hypothesized that FGFR1 overexpression may be co...
متن کاملDNA copy number changes in cervical adenocarcinoma.
PURPOSE There is evidence that specific genetic events are involved in the initiation and progression of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The genotype-phenotype correlations in cervical adenocarcinoma (AC) are unclear. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Comparative genomic hybridization was applied to screen for DNA copy number gains and losses in 22 cervical ACs of clinical stage IB. IHC was ...
متن کاملEGFR-activating mutations, DNA copy number abundance of ErbB family, and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma
In this study, EGFR-activating mutation status and DNA copy number abundances of members of ErbB family were measured in 261 lung adenocarcinomas. The associations between DNA copy number abundances of ErbB family, EGFR-activating mutation status, and prognosis were explored. Results showed that DNA copy number abundances of EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB3, and ERBB4 had associations with overall survival i...
متن کاملDifferentially expressed microRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma invert effects of copy number aberrations of prognostic genes
In many cancers, significantly down- or upregulated genes are found within chromosomal regions with DNA copy number alteration opposite to the expression changes. Generally, this paradox has been overlooked as noise, but can potentially be a consequence of interference of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, including microRNA-mediated control of mRNA levels. To explore potential associations betw...
