A Comprehensive Method for Detecting Fusion Genes in Paediatric Brain Tumours.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Fusion genes driving tumourigenesis have drawn the attention of researchers and oncologists. Despite the importance of such molecular alterations, there are no comprehensive reproducible methods for detecting fusion genes. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Nineteen paediatric brain tumours of five types, namely pilocytic astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma and, ganglioglioma, were examined to detect fusion genes using a pyrosequencing-based method following RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS:Our method successfully detected KIAA1549-v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) fusion in 14 out of 19 patients suffering from five types of paediatric brain tumours providing information on fusion breakpoints within 2 h. CONCLUSION:A comprehensive method for detecting fusion genes in paediatric brain tumours was evaluated. This method identified KIAA1549-BRAF fusion variants quickly. Our results may help researchers interested in the role of fusion genes in tumourigenesis.

  • Proteomic Analysis Reveals Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation of Extracellular Proteins from Breast Cancer Cell Secretion.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:O-GlcNAcylation is a unique intracellular protein modification; however, few extracellular O-GlcNAc-modified proteins have been discovered. We have previously demonstrated that many cellular proteins were aberrant in O-GlcNAcylation in breast cancer tissues. In the present study, therefore, we investigated w...
