Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To explore differentially expressed genes between nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) primary tumors and non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues, 18 NPC tissue samples versus 18 control samples were utilized to perform genome-wide expressing profiling. Consequently, 2992 genes were found to be differentially expressed in NPC tissues relative to the control (FC>2, P<0.05). Among these 2992 genes, uPA was ranked as the top one in all upregulated genes sorted by ascending order of P-value. Moreover, expression of uPAR was also upregulated in NPC tissues with FC=3.34 and P=7.52×105.

Moreover, expression of uPAR was also upregulated in NPC tissues with FC=3.34 and P=7.52M-CM-^W105. 18 nasopharyngeal carcinoma primary tumors and 18 non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues were used to perform genome-wide expressing profiling. The median ages of patients were 46 (range, 19-77) for NPC patients and 45 (range, 18-78) for the non-cancerous cohort. Almost one third of patients were female. All samples were collected before any anti-cancer treatment.
Project description:MicroRNAs are biomarkers of prognosis and survival for many types of cancer. We evaluated whether microRNAs can predict the survival and efficacy of concurrent chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. We retrospectively analyzed microRNA expression in 312 paraffin-embedded NPC specimens and 18 normal nasopharyngeal tissues using microarray. We found Forty-one microRNAs are differentially expressed between NPC and normal tissues, and a five-microRNA signature can predict survival independent of stage. NPC patients with the low-risk microRNA signature have a favorable response to concurrent chemotherapy. microRNA profiling of nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues vs. normal nasopharyngeal tissues 312 paraffin-embedded nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and 18 paraffin-embedded normal nasopharyngeal tissues

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains a majoy health problem worldwide, specially in Southeast China. In order to find the new candidate genes and molecular markers that are associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), this study focused on the screening NPC relative genes by gene expression profile. Keywords: disease state analysis 23 NPC biopsies and 15 nasopharynx chronic phlogistic biopsies were used to screen NPC relative genes by BioStarH-141s (2004) profile gene chips which contained 14112 points of full length human genes. The tumor samples were labeled with Cy5-dUTP.The nasopharyngeal phlogistic tissues were labeled with Cy3-dUTP. Biostatistics and bioinformatics were also used to analyse the differently expressed genes.
Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rare malignancy in most parts around the world but common in Southern China and Southeast Asia, Annually, approximately 80,000 new NPC cases and 50,000 deaths are reported worldwide. In NPC, recent advances have shown that many genes that are predominantly or even exclusively silenced by DNA methylation in epithelial cells during pathogenesis of NPC. However, the causal relationship between DNA methylation status and outcome in NPC remains not well understood. To investigate this problem, we used Illumina 450K BeadChips to examined methylation patterns and survival in NPC. and ultimately provided insight into prognostic value of DNA methylation in NPC clinical management. We employed Illumina Human Methylation450K Beadchip to analyze a genome-wide of DNA methylation in a cohort of 48 samples (between 24 nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and 24 normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues) to identify aberrant methylation genes.

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has extremely skewed ethnic and geographic distributions, is poorly understood at the genetic level and is in need of effective therapeutic approaches. We determined the genomic landscape of 52 NPC cases with SNP-array analysis. This approach identified multiple recurrent SCNVs, with the most frequent deletion peak spanning the CDKN2A gene on 9p21. Additional SCNVs involving established cancer genes including CCND1, AKT2, MYC and TP53 were observed. Notably, we identified that one component of the SWI/SNF complex, ARID1A, was frequently deleted in NPC. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from fresh frozen nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsy tissues Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 250K SNP arrays was performed for 52 nasopharyngeal carcinoma samples. Please note that the sample characteristics 'primary tumor size, metastasis, and regional lymph node' represents T, M and N in WHO TNM staging of nasopharyngeal cancer (according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)), respectively.

Project description:To uncover the oncogenic pathways of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gene expression profiles of primary NPC cell strains and NPC-derived cell lines were conducted and analyzed in depth. Keywords: Oncogenesis Gene expression profiles of 9 primary NPC cell strains and 5 NPC-derived cell lines were analyzed. Forty μg total RNA from one NPC sample was needed for a dye-swap experiment. Total RNA from 32 normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell strains was pooled to serve as a universal reference.
Project description:To evaluate whether serum microRNAs can predict survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients, we analyzed the serum microRNA expression profiles in 8 NPC patients with shorter-survival time and 8 age- and gender-matched NPC patients with longer-survival time using microarray. We identified a four-microRNA signature can predict survival of NPC patients. 8 serum samples from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with shorter-survival time and 8 serum samples from nasopharyngeal carinoma patients with longer-survival time
