Carcinosarcoma

Carcinosarcoma is a rare, aggressive form of cancer that contains both carcinomatous (epithelial) and sarcomatous (mesenchymal) elements.
It can arise in various organ systems, including the uterus, ovaries, lungs, and other sites.
Carcinosarcomas exhibit a biphasic histology with malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components, and their pathogenesis is not fully understood.
Treatment typically involves a combinaion of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, but the prognosis for patients with carcinosarcome is generally poor.
Continued research is needed to better understand the underlying biology of this complex neoplasm and develop more effective therapeutic strategiies.

TCGA ccRCC-specific analyses were performed with the KIRC datasets downloaded from Firebrowse (http://firebrowse.org). RSEM-normalized gene level data and reverse phase protein array (RPPA) data were used for gene and protein expression analyses, respectively. Samples that had RNA-Seq, mutation and clinical data (n = 415) were included in the discovery phase of the immune infiltration clusters.
The Sato et al. [29 (link)] Agilent microarray gene expression dataset was downloaded from ArrayExpress (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1980/) and all samples (n = 101) were included in the analysis. The probe identifiers in the Agilent platform were mapped to HGNC gene symbols and the arithmetic mean across identifiers was used for cases where multiple Agilent identifiers mapped to a single HGNC symbol.
The Gerlinger et al. [57 (link)] Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarray gene expression dataset was obtained via personal communication with the authors on 10 November 2014. This dataset includes 56 tumor and six normal samples from nine ccRCC patients. All samples were included in our analysis. The probe sets in this Affymetrix platform were mapped to HGNC gene symbols and the geometric mean across probe sets was used for cases where multiple probe sets mapped to a single HGNC symbol.

The 2695 cases and 2777 controls from the E2C2 consortium were genotyped using the Illumina Human OmniExpress array (2271 cases, 2219 controls from the United States) or the Illumina Human 660W array (424 cases, 558 controls from Poland)33 (link) and both sets were separately imputed to the 1000 Genomes Project v3 reference panel using “minimac2” software, following standard quality control steps38 (link),39 (link).
The 288 cases from six population-based case–control studies within the Women’s Health Initiative were genotyped using five different arrays (Supplementary Data 1) and were each separately imputed using the combined 1000 Genome Project v3 and UK10K reference panels using “minimac2” software39 (link), following standard quality measures and the exclusion of SNPs with a MAF <1%. Five controls for each case were selected randomly, matched on study.
Data were also included from the first phase of UK Biobank genotyping, comprising 636 Cancer Registry-confirmed endometrial cancer cases (as of October 2016) and 62,853 cancer-free female controls. Samples were genotyped using Affymetrix UK BiLEVE Axiom array and Affymetrix UK Biobank Axiom® array and imputed to the combined 1000 Genome Project v3 and UK10K reference panels using SHAPEIT340 (link) and IMPUTE341 .
No analyses to identify duplicates or relatives between samples from the E2C2, WHI, or UK Biobank studies, and any other study were carried out. However, given the sampling frame of these studies, it is very unlikely that there would have been any meaningful sample overlap.
After QC exclusions, the analysis included 12,906 endometrial cancer cases (3613 of which have not been included in any previous publication) and 108,979 controls. Analyses were also carried out specifically for endometrial cancer of endometrioid histology (8758 cases) and endometrial cancer with non-endometrioid histology (1230 cases). Exploratory analyses for specific non-endometrioid histologies (serous carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, clear cell carcinoma, and mucinous carcinoma) included a small number of cases of mixed histotype, where the major component was non-endometrioid. The UK Biobank data did not include information about histology.
All participating studies were approved by research ethics committees from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, University-Clinic Erlangen, Karolinska Institutet, UZ Leuven, The Mayo Clinic, The Hunter New England Health District, The Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics Norway, and the UK National Research Ethics Service (04/Q0803/148 and 05/MRE05/1). All participants provided written, informed consent.

The OCI cell lines and OCMI medium are available from the Live Tumor Culture Core (LTCC) at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC), Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami http://sylvester.org/shared-resources/Live-Tumor-Culture-Core In order to establish the cell lines, fresh tumor tissue fragments are minced and plated on Primaria (BD Biosciences) plates before and after digestion with 1 mg/ml collagenase (Roche). The tumor cells are cultured in nutrient medium described previously 16 (link), supplemented with insulin, hydrocortisone, EGF, cholera toxin, and serum as described in Supplementary Methods. We refer to this version of the medium as Ovarian Carcinoma Modified Ince medium (OCMI). This formulation is supplemented with 17β-estradiol for endometrioid and mucinous tumors (OCMIe). The papillary serous, clear cell, dysgerminoma, and carcinosarcoma tumors are initially cultured in 5% CO2 and regular O2 at 37 C as monolayers attached to Primaria culture plates. The endometrioid and mucinous tumors are initially cultured in 5% CO2 and low O2 (5%) at 37 C as monolayers attached to Primaria culture plates. Adjustments in O2 and plates are made for individual cell lines as necessary (Supplementary Table 3). The tumor cells are passaged at a ~ 1:3 ratio once a week and plated into a new flask at approximately 1×104 cells/cm2. During the initial weeks of culture, (~1–5) the plates are treated with diluted trypsin first, in order to deplete stromal cells. The remaining cells that are still attached to the culture plate are treated with 0.25% trypsin for sub-culturing. In general, tumor cultures are free of stromal and normal cell types within 4–6 passages. The SOC cell lines were STR validated and cultured as per the instructions of the vendor. OCI lines will be available from the Ince laboratory upon publication. All study procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the University of Miami, Brigham & Women’s and Massachusetts General Hospitals to collect discarded tissues with written consent from all patients. See Supplementary Note 1 for further details of culture methods.

More about "Carcinosarcoma"

Carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that contains both carcinoma (epithelial) and sarcoma (mesenchymal) components.
This biphasic neoplasm can arise in various organs, including the uterus, ovaries, lungs, and other sites.
The pathogenesis of carcinosarcoma is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve complex genetic and molecular alterations.
Researchers studying carcinosarcoma may utilize a variety of tools and techniques to enhance their research.
For example, the PubCompare.ai platform can help locate the best protocols from literature, preprints, and patents, providing AI-driven comparisons to maximize reproducibility and accuracy.
Additionally, techniques like FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) culture, CellQuest software analysis, JetPRIME transfection, HM450 array methylation profiling, Cell Line 96-well Nucleofector Kit SF and Cell Line Nucleofector Kit V for cell line manipulation, Glutamine supplementation, MethylationEPIC BeadChip microarray, AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit for nucleic acid extraction, and Penicillin/streptomycin for cell culture can be employed to support carcinosarcoma research.
Despite advances in treatment, which typically involves a combinatioin of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, the prognosis for patients with carcinosarcoma remains generally poor.
Continued research is needed to better understand the underlying biology of this complex neoplasm and develop more effective therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.
