      Although microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to all hallmarks of cancer, miRNA dysregulation in metastasis remains poorly understood. The aim of this work was to reliably identify miRNAs associated with metastatic progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) using novel and previously published nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) datasets generated from 268 samples of primary (pCRC) and metastatic CRC (mCRC; ...
    • High number of kinome-mutations in non-small cell lung cancers associated with reduced immune response and poor relapse-free survival

      Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death, and the past years’ improved insight into underlying molecular events has significantly improved outcome for specific subsets of patients. In particular, several new therapies that target protein kinases have been implemented, and many more are becoming available. We have investigated lung cancer specimens for somatic mutations in a targeted ...
    • Novel GTF2I-PDGFRB and IKZF1-TYW1 fusions in pediatric leukemia with normal karyotype

      <i>Background</i> - Many cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) carry visible acquired chromosomal changes of pathogenetic, diagnostic, and prognostic importance. Nevertheless, from one-fourth to half of newly diagnosed ALL patients have no visible chromosomal changes detectable by G-banding analysis at diagnosis. The introduction of powerful molecular methodologies has shown that many ...
    • T cell receptor repertoire sequencing reveals chemotherapy-driven clonal expansion in colorectal liver metastases 

      Høye, Eirik; Dagenborg, Vegar Johansen; Kristensen, Annette Torgunrud; Lund-Andersen, Christin; Fretland, Åsmund Avdem; Lorenz, Susanne; Edwin, Bjørn von Gohren; Hovig, Eivind; Fromm, Bastian; Inderberg, Else Marit; Greiff, Victor; Ree, Anne Hansen; Flatmark, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)
      Background - Colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is a leading cause of colorectal cancer mortality, and the response to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in microsatellite-stable CRC has been disappointing. Administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy may cause increased density of tumor-infiltrating T cells, which has been associated with improved response to ICI. This study aimed to quantify and ...
