Project description:Punch biopsies from patients with cSCC (n=3) and non-lesional skin (n=3) were included in the study. Microarray based circRNA expression profiles were acquired using Arraystar circRNA Arrays V. 2.0 screening for 13.617 distinct human circRNA candidates. We identified circRNAs differentially expressed in cSCC compared to non-lesional skin (control).
Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently the third leading cause of death worldwide and the most common type of primary liver cancer, finding noninvasive biomarkers for HCC diagnostic and prognostic are very urging. Previous genomic studies mainly focus on finding miRNA biomarkers for HCC. In this study, we focus on finding circRNA fragments suitable for serving as hcc biomarkers with plasma exosomal RNA-seq..
Project description:Arraystar Human circRNA Microarray is designed for the global profiling of human circRNAs. In this study, we applied a circRNA microarray to screen the potential biomarker for HCC. 20 samples extracted from plasma samples including HCC group before operation, and after operation, CH group and control group. Each group contained five samples.
Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference of plasma circRNA between patients with atrial fibrillation and normal subjects by high-throughput sequencing results. Methods: Total RNA was extracted using a miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.Then, 200 ng RNA was sequenced with high throughput, and then pathway and go analysis were used for comprehensive analysis.Finally, RT-PCR method was used to validate in large sample population Results: High throughput sequencing results showed that there were significant differences in plasma circRNA expression between patients with atrial fibrillation and non-atrial fibrillation, and 2 optional circRNA in 12 randomly selected circRNA differences were found to be significant in the population Conclusions:It is the first time that we have used high-throughput sequencing to study the difference of plasma circrna between patients with atrial fibrillation and normal people. The results of sequencing show that the expression of circrna is quite different between the two groups of people. Therefore, we believe that circRNA may play an important role in the occurrence and development of atrial fibrillation.
Project description:Exosomes are small membrane vesicles of endocytic origin secreted by most cells, and contain a wealthy cargo of protein and RNA species that can modulate recipient cells’ behaviors and may be used as biomarkers for diagnosis of human diseases. They have been found in blood and are valuable sources for biomarkers due to selective cargo loading and resemblance to their parental cells. The goal of this study is to identify circRNA, lncRNA and mRNA profiles in human blood by high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). 1-4 ml plasma or serum were used to extract exosomal RNAs by exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Maxi kit (Qiagen). The exosomal RNAs were further treated with DNAse I and subjected to ribosome minus low-input RNAseq library preparation. The libraries were sequenced by Illumina Hiseq platform.

Project description:Aim: To study the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on circRNA expression of plasma Exosomes and signal pathway of type 2 diabetic mice (T2DM). Methods: 10 mice were randomly selected as normal group. 20 mice were for T2DM model preparation and then were randomly divided into model and model + EA group. Mice in model + EA group were given EA treatment. The changes of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and the Islet structure were evaluated. Plasma exosomes of mice were subjected to RNA sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis on differentially expressed circRNA was performed. 12 differentially expressed circRNA were confirmed for real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Results: EA treatment reduced the FBG, preserved islets structure and reduced the islet β cell apoptotic rate of T2DM mice. RNA-sequencing analysis showed EA treatment lead to significant change of 165 circRNA expressions. GO and KEGG revealed that the effects of EA on T2DM mainly focus on regulating the functions and pathways related to multi-link metabolism, cell growth and organ development. Especially, the thyroid hormone signaling pathway was actively regulated by EA. circRNA/miRNA interactions analysis revealed that that mmu-mir-7092-3p was closely combined with circINPP4B, suggesting phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway was affected by EA. 12 circRNAs were identified to have significant differences by qRT-PCR. Conclusion: EA intervention can significantly protect islet function and improve FBG in T2DM, which may be related to the regulation on thyroid hormone and Phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway.
