Optical Coherence Tomography of the Gastrointestinal Tract

ABSTRACT: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light to create pictures of living tissues and has been successfully used to generate high resolution cross-sectional images of tissue in the human eye and skin. OCT systems are now commercially available for eye and skin use, and several clinical reports on the use of OCT in the gastrointestinal tract have been published as well. The purpose of this study is to develop a high-speed noninvasive OCT probe which can be placed through an endoscope for the early diagnosis of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. This is a pilot clinical research study that is designed to advance OCT technology, which may in the future be able to replace or augment endoscopic biopsies.

Dynamic expression of smRNA from fecal exosome in disease progression of an inflammatory bowel disorder mouse model

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract affecting over 3 million adults in the United States. Despite being widespread, reliable early diagnostic tests are not available. In order to remedy this, we examined exosomal small RNA (smRNA), specifically targeting microRNA (miRNA) and piRNA from the stool samples of IBD model mice, interleukin 10 knockout mice (IL-10 KO), as a potential diagnostic marker. Stool samples were specifically chosen because they are readily available and collection is noninvasive.

An optimized workflow for transcriptomic analysis from archival paraformaldehyde-fixed retinal tissues collected by laser capture microdissection

Project description:RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) coupled with laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a powerful tool for transcriptomic analysis in unfixed fresh-frozen tissues. Fixation of ocular tissues for immunohistochemistry commonly involves the use of paraformaldehyde (PFA) followed by embedding in Optimal Cutting Temperature (OCT) medium for long-term cryopreservation. However, the quality of RNA derived from such archival PFA-fixed/OCT-embedded samples is often compromised, limiting its suitability for transcriptomic studies. In this study, we aimed to develop a methodology to extract high-quality RNA from PFA-fixed canine eyes by utilizing LCM to isolate retinal tissue. We demonstrate the efficacy of an optimized LCM and RNA purification protocol for transcriptomic profiling of PFA-fixed retinal specimens. We compared four pairs of canine retinal tissues, where one eye was subjected to PFA-fixation prior to OCT embedding, while the contralateral eye was embedded fresh frozen (FF) in OCT without fixation. Since the mRNA obtained from PFA-fixed retinas were contaminated with genomic DNA, we employed two rounds of DNase I treatment to obtain RNA suitable for RNA-seq. Notably, the quality of sequencing reads and gene sets identified from both PFA-fixed and FF tissues were nearly identical. In summary, our study introduces an optimized workflow for transcriptomic profiling from PFA-fixed archival retina. This refined methodology paves the way for improved transcriptomic analysis of preserved ocular tissue, bridging the gap between optimal sample preservation and high-quality RNA data acquisition.

Global gene expression analysis of gastric cancer by oligonucleotide microarrays

Project description:To gain molecular understanding of carcinogenesis, progression, and diversity of gastric cancer, 22 primary human advanced gastric cancer tissues and 8 noncancerous gastric tissues were analyzed by high-density oligonucleotide microarray in this study. Based on expression analysis of approximately 6800 genes, a two-way clustering algorithm successfully distinguished cancer tissues from noncancerous tissues. Subsequently, genes that were differentially expressed in cancer and noncancerous tissues were identified; 162 and 129 genes were highly expressed (P < 0.05) >2.5-fold in cancer tissues and noncancerous tissues, respectively. In cancer tissues, genes related to cell cycle, growth factor, cell motility, cell adhesion, and matrix remodeling were highly expressed. In noncancerous tissues, genes related to gastrointestinal-specific function and immune response were highly expressed. Furthermore, we identified several genes associated with lymph node metastasis including Oct-2 or histological types including Liver-Intestine Cadherin. These results provide not only a new molecular basis for understanding biological properties of gastric cancer, but also useful resources for future development of therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers for gastric cancer.

Expression data from mouse oral keratinocyte

Project description:Keratinocytes are the major constituent of epithelial cells at mucosal surfaces and skin, which cover organs, internal cavities and the body. Traditionally, keratinocytes have been considered as an inert component of the multilayered epithelium to protect the subepithelial compartments from the pathogenic microorganisms, toxic stimuli and physical trauma. However, accumulated researches of the airway, gastrointestinal tract and skin have demonstrated that keratinocytes function in the development of the immune system, promotion of pathologic inflammation and even impose diverse decisions on immune cells. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of oral keratinocyte during oral adaptive immune response. Oral keratinocyte were collected at three time points (control, 48h and 96h) in oral adaptive immune response for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays
