Tumor Signaling 360 Panel
Helping Your Research
As therapeutics that target tumor signaling evolve, a greater understanding of tumor signaling is required as well as a better understanding of the interactions of tumor cells with the tissue milieu. The Tumor Signaling 360 Panel is intended to play this exact role, enabling deeper profiling of the tumor that is complete, yet focused on signaling pathways of interest for targeted therapeutic development. Covering hundreds of genes involved in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and inflammation, the nCounter Tumor Signaling 360 Panel offers a holistic view of the biology of the tumor, microenvironment, and immune response with an emphasis on dysfunctional cell signaling in cancer. It offers a holistic view of the biology of the tumor, microenvironment, and immune response with an emphasis on dysfunctional cell signaling in cancer.
- Profile 40+ pathways involved in tumor biology, immune evasion, and remodeling of the microenvironment.
- Identify targets for novel therapeutics
- Understand the mechanism of action of targeted therapies
- Determine the extent of anti-tumor immune response with the Tumor Inflammation Signature
- Quantify the presence and relative abundance of 14 different immune cell types
Inspired by systems biology approaches to cancer research, NanoString’s 360 Series Panel Collection gives you a 360° view of gene expression by combining carefully-curated content involved in the biology of the tumor, microenvironment, and the immune response into a single holistic assay. Each panel contains the 18-gene Tumor Inflammation Signature (TIS) that measures a peripherally-suppressed, adaptive immune response and has been shown to correlate with response to checkpoint inhibitors.

Product Information
The Tumor Inflammation Signature includes 18 functional genes known to be associated with response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
Includes four areas of Immune Biology: IFN-ү-responsive genes related to antigen presentation, chemokine expression, cytotoxic activity, and adaptive immune resistance genes.
The tumor inflammation gene expression signature highlights the complex biology of the host immune microenvironment.

Spatially resolved transcriptomics and its applications in cancer
Spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) offers the promise of understanding cells and their modes of dysfunction in the context of intact tissues. Technologies for SRT have advanced rapidly with a large number being published in recent years.
NUPR1 is a critical repressor of ferroptosis.
Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent regulated cell death, representing an emerging disease-modulatory mechanism. Transcription factors play multiple roles in ferroptosis, although the key regulator for ferroptosis in iron metabolism remains elusive.
Predictive Value of Circulating miRNAs in Lymph Node Metastasis for Colon Cancer.
(1) Background: Lymph node (LN) status is an indubitable prognostic factor for survival among colon cancer patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the development and progression of many cancers and are potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
