LncRNA expression profiles of 59 tumorous liver tissues derived from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs longer than 200 nt that function in endogenous gene regulation and tumorigenesis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous disease with different treatment outcome. It is a challenge to develop a prognostic marker to identify HCC patients who are at greatest risk for recurrence or death. In this study, we try to screen lncRNAs whose expression levels are associated with recurrence or death of HCC patients through an extensive lncRNA profiling study on a cohort of 59 HCC patients. For these experiments, we used RNA extracted from 59 HCC tissues and 20 normal livers. Total RNAs from the 20 normal livers were pooled and used as a reference for all microarray experiments. For each microarray experiment, Cy5-labeled probes de
