Project description:Cigarette smoke is associated with the majority of lung cancers: however, 25% of lung cancer patients are non-smokers, and half of all newly diagnosed lung cancer patients are former smokers. Lung tumors exhibit distinct epidemiological, clinical, pathological, and molecular features depending on smoking status, suggesting divergent mechanisms underlie tumorigenesis in smokers and non-smokers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are integral contributors to tumorigenesis and mediate biological responses to smoking. Based on the hypothesis that smoking-specific miRNA differences in lung adenocarcinomas reflect distinct tumorigenic processes selected by different smoking and non-smoking environments, we investigated the contribution of miRNA disruption to lung tumor biology and patient outcome in the context of smoking status. Results: We discovered novel and distinct smoking-status-specific patterns of miRNA and miRNA-mediated gene networks, and identified miRNAs that were prognostically significant in a smoking-dependent manner. Conclusions: We conclude that miRNAs disrupted in a smoking-status-dependent manner affect distinct cellular pathways and differentially influence lung cancer patient prognosis in current, former and never smokers. Our findings may represent promising biologically relevant markers for lung cancer prognosis or therapeutic intervention. We applied a whole transcriptome sequencing based approach to interrogate miRNA levels in 94 patient-matched lung adenocarcinoma and non-malignant lung parenchymal tissue pairs from current [CS], former [FS] and never smokers [NS].

Project description:Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement is a standard treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite all medical advances, restenosis remains a challenging clinical problem. However, the molecular and biochemical pathways of restenotic process are not fully understood yet. Furthermore, as restenosis is assumed to be a multigenetic process and genetic predisposition is considered an important risk factor, analysis of the genome-wide gene expression is recommended for better insight of the phenomenon. We used microarray technology to monitor thousands of genes expression simultaneously. The whole genome expression will be analyzed with this technique to identify cluster of up-regulated and down-regulated genes which may be involved in this complex pathological condition. Coronary restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention remains a challenging problem, despite all medical advances. Molecular and biochemical pathways of restenotic process are not fully understood yet. Furthermore, as restenosis is assumed to be a multigenetic process. We used microarray technology to monitor thousands of genes expression simultaneously in restenosis postive group with reference restenosis negative group, which will unravel potentially modifiable pathways, possible targets and biomarkers for coronary restenosis.

Project description:Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Emerging evidence suggests that messengerRNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could serve as biomarkers for various diseases.

Project description:Antiplatelet therapy is the most important treatment to reduce the risk of developing recurrent thrombosis, and to prevent progression to a complete occlusion of coronary arterial disease (CAD) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention Aim of study was to investigate the relationship between response to antiplatelet drugs and global mRNA gene expression in peripheral blood cells (PBC) in patients with coronary arterial disease (CAD)

Project description:Cannabis use has been controversial, largely having been designated a controlled substance over the last century. The link between cannabis smoking and disease pathogenesis may best be explored through DNA methylation, an epigentic mechanism. We investigated the relationship between epigenetic age and cannabis smoking in participants within the Canadian Cohort of Obstructive Lung Disease (CanCOLD) cohort (n=93) (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00920348). Blood samples were profiled for DNA methylation using the Illumina MethylationEPIC BeadChipv1 at two separate laboratories and the blood epigenetic age of each sample was calculated using the Clock Foundation tool (https://dnamage.clockfoundation.org). An ANOVA was used to identify differences in the age acceleration residuals associated with cannabis smoking status (never, former, and current), adjusted for chronological age, sex, body mass index (BMI), batch, cigarette smoking status, and the first two principal components of blood cell proportions. Our observations indicated that current cannabis smoking and higher joint-years exposure are associated with epigenetic age acceleration; cessation, however, may help to normalize in part this age acceleration.

Project description:We aim to determine blood transcriptome-based molecular signature of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to identify novel serum biomarkers for early stage ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) We obtained peripheral blood from the patients with ACS who visited emergency department within 4 hours after the onset of chest pain: a set of blood samples of patients with STEMI (n=7) before and 7 days after the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (n=7) and normal control (n=10)

Project description:We studied new microRNAs involved in the left ventricular adverse remodeling (LVAR) process after the ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We analyzed the expression of miRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a group of non-LVAR (n = 5) and LVAR STEMI patients (n = 5), before (0 hour) and after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI; 6 hours).

Project description:DNA methylation is an epigenetic event whose pattern is altered frequently in a wide variety of human diseases. Smoking affects DNA methylation possibly leading to abnormal expression of a broad spectrum of genes which in turn may result to the various side effects and diseases associated with smoking. The long term effects of smoking have been widely studied but the mechanism(s) by which those effects may be reversible by smoking cessation are not clearly understood. Here, we conducted an epigenome-wide association study in peripheral-blood DNA in 464 individuals who were current, former and never-smokers. We identified 15 distinct loci (10 of which were novel) where DNA methylation was reduced in smokers and was reversed (but did not reach non-smoking levels) upon smoking cessation within 12 weeks. Although the functional impact of this reversal of DNA methylation is still not understood, this study illustrates the potential of epigenomics to provide insights into mechanisms of environmental and lifestyle exposures, and to suggest new avenues for clinical intervention Bisulfite converted DNA from the 464 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip

Blood samples were drown before PCI to evaluate platelet reactivity by VerifyNow® ASA and P2Y12 assays and mRNA expression was measured by Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST array.
