Project description:Differentially expressed genes between T4 and T1 stage human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) 36 OSCC samples separated by tumor size T stage, in dual color microarray, using a pool of human cell lines as control. Screening for differentially expressed genes was performed in a cohort of 36 patients randomly selected. Transcriptional profiles were performed using Agilent one color hybridizations in a G4851A platform.
Project description:OSCC is associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. In this study, we built on our previous molecular work to identify and validate a prognostic 13-gene signature that showed a higher ability than tumor stage in predicting survival for patients with HPV-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Project description:OSCC is associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. In this study, we built on our previous molecular work to identify and validate a prognostic 13-gene signature that showed a higher ability than tumor stage in predicting survival for patients with HPV-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We previously reported 131 genes to be associated with survival in OSCC patients. In this study, we applied L1/L2-penalized Cox regression models to the Affymetrix array data from 97 HPV-negative OSCC patients on the 131 gene to identify a model for prediction of OSCC-specific survival. We then tested the model in an independent dataset and compared to tumor stage.
Project description:Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) profiling of Oral Leukoplakia (OPL) and early stage Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) was performed to delineate candidate non-random chromosomal loci associated with disease progression and clinico-pathological parameters. The array CGH hybridizations were performed for 24 OPL and 38 OSCC samples with pooled gender matched controls. All tissue samples were collected after obtaining written informed consent.
Project description:Gene Expression Profiling of Oral Leukoplakia (OPL) and Early Stage Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) was performed to delineate candidate gene/s clusters with potential to distinguish normal, OPL and tumor tissue from Gingivobuccal complex. All tissue samples were collected after obtaining written informed consent. The RNA profile of 15 OPL and 34 OSCC samples was compared with 1 independent controls Gingivobuccal complex tissue from healthy donors.
Project description:Hypoxic microenvironment plays important roles in the progression of solid tumors including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gained much attention in the past few years. However, it is not clear whether lncRNAs could regulate hypoxia-adaptation of OSCC, and which lncRNAs participate in this process. Using an lncRNA microarray, we analyzed the aberrant lncRNA expression profiles in OSCC tissues compared with paired normal oral mucosa as well as in hypoxic OSCC cells compared with normoxic OSCC cells. Our data revealed 2053 differentially expressed (Fold Change >= 2.0, P-value <= 0.05) lncRNAs, among which 934 lncRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 1119 lncRNAs were down-regulated in OSCC compared with paired normal mucosa. Six OSCC tissues and paired normal oral mucosa were obtained from 6 patients with OSCC. LncRNA expression profiles were evaluated by an Agilent Human LncRNA Array v3.0 (8 x 60K, Arraystar).
Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a lethal disease and early death usually occurs as a result of local invasion and regional lymph node metastases. We used microarrays to identify down or upregulated genes in OSCCs compared with non-malignant controls. To identify genes whose transcription is deregulated in OSCC, the gene expression profiles of eight OSCC cell lines (H-series and M9) and three primary cultures of normal oral keratinocytes (NKs) were examined using Affymetrix HG-U133A and HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays.
Project description:The elevation of guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha 12 (GM-NM-112) expression is highly associated with tumor invasiveness in several human cancers. We used an siRNA strategy to deplete GM-NM-112 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells and analyze the transcriptome profile by the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Transcriptome analysis of total RNA samples from OSCC cells. We analyzed OSCC cell samples using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by the Affymetrix Exon Array Computational Tool. No technical replicates were performed.
Project description:The elevation of guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha 12 (Gα12) expression is highly associated with tumor invasiveness in several human cancers. We used an siRNA strategy to deplete Gα12 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells and analyze the transcriptome profile by the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform.
