Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

3.2K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

5.6K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.4K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Cell Lines01:16

Cell Lines

10.4K
A cell line is a population of cells grown in vitro that can be subcultured over several generations. Normal cells cease to divide after a certain number of cell divisions, a process known as replicative senescence. This number, called the Hayflick limit, was conceptualized by Leonard Hayflick in 1961 when he observed that fetal cells grown in culture could only divide 40-60 times. This limit is due to the shortening of the telomeres during each round of cell division, preventing cell division...

Genomics

40.7K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Cancer Biology
  • Translational Research

Background:

  • Cell lines are crucial for cancer research.
  • Understanding genomic alterations in cell lines is vital for preclinical studies.
  • Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) requires better models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare genomic and transcriptomic profiles of HNSCC cell lines with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) tumors.
  • To identify genomic alterations in HNSCC cell lines that recapitulate aggressive tumor landscapes.
  • To validate HNSCC cell lines as models for functional and therapeutic discoveries.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated analysis of genomic and transcriptomic profiles.
  • Comparison of 15 HPV-negative and 11 HPV-positive HNSCC cell lines with 279 TCGA HNSCC tumors.
  • Identification of recurrent genomic amplifications and their effect on gene expression.

Main Results:

  • Recurrent amplifications (e.g., 3q22-29, 5p15, 11q13/22, 8p11) were identified in HNSCC cell lines and tumors.
  • These amplifications drive increased expression of over 100 genes.
  • Concurrent 3q26.3 amplification and TP53 mutation in HPV-negative cell lines correlate with worse survival, mirroring aggressive tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Genomic alterations in HNSCC cell lines recapitulate the landscape of aggressive HNSCC tumors.
  • Established HNSCC cell lines provide valuable, validated models for future cancer research.
  • These findings accelerate functional and therapeutic discoveries in HNSCC.
