Expression data from glioblastoma derived xenograft and original glioblastoma tumors

Amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, A0 for non-amplified and A1 for amplified) gene is one of the most common oncogenic alterations in glioblastoma (45%) making it a prime target for therapy. However, small molecule inhibitors of the EGFR tyrosine kinase showed disappointing efficacy in clinical trials for glioblastoma. Here we report expression data for 33 samples including 6 GBM derived xenografts (3 controls and 3 treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib) and 27 glioblastoma tumors (11 controls and 16 treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib). Note that T0, T1 and T2 treatment types mean that control, Gefitinib treatment and Gefitinib treatment (but not according to protocol schedule), respectively. 33 samples including 6 (3 controls and 3 treated by gefitinib) GBM derived xenografts and 27 (11 controls and 16 treated by gefitinib) glioblastoma tumors
