Project description:We identified differentially expressed microRNAs between MIF-high and MIF-low tumor groups. These microRNAs were then investigated for their potential downstream targets using an integrative strategy, which combines miR-Walk target prediction module and mRNA expression array data to identify key MIF-induced signalling pathways driving tumor progresion and disease aggressiveness. Genes that associated with prognostic significance was then subjected to mechanistic study. miRNA expression profiling of 69 pancreatic ductual adenocarcinoma was performed in two sets. The batch effect between the two sets of data was removed using Partek Genomic Suite

Project description:BackgroundDespite genomic simplicity, recent studies have reported at least 3 major atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) subgroups with distinct molecular and clinical features. Reliable ATRT subgrouping in clinical settings remains challenging due to a lack of suitable biological markers, sample rarity, and the relatively high cost of conventional subgrouping methods. This study aimed to develop a reliable ATRT molecular stratification method to implement in clinical settings.MethodsWe have developed an ATRT subgroup predictor assay using a custom genes panel for the NanoString nCounter System and a flexible machine learning classifier package. Seventy-one ATRT primary tumors with matching gene expression array and NanoString data were used to construct a multi-algorithms ensemble classifier. Additional validation was performed using an independent gene expression array against the independently generated dataset. We also analyzed 11 extra-cranial rhabdoid tumors with our classifier and compared our approach against DNA methylation classification to evaluate the result consistency with existing methods.ResultsWe have demonstrated that our novel ensemble classifier has an overall average of 93.6% accuracy in the validation dataset, and a striking 98.9% accuracy was achieved with the high-prediction score samples. Using our classifier, all analyzed extra-cranial rhabdoid tumors are classified as MYC subgroups. Compared with the DNA methylation classification, the results show high agreement, with 84.5% concordance and up to 95.8% concordance for high-confidence predictions.ConclusionsHere we present a rapid, cost-effective, and accurate ATRT subgrouping assay applicable for clinical use.

Project description:BackgroundBlood-based biomarkers for diagnosing active tuberculosis (TB), monitoring treatment response, and predicting risk of progression to TB disease have been reported. However, validation of the biomarkers across multiple independent cohorts is scarce. A robust platform to validate TB biomarkers in different populations with clinical end points is essential to the development of a point-of-care clinical test. NanoString nCounter technology is an amplification-free digital detection platform that directly measures mRNA transcripts with high specificity. Here, we determined whether NanoString could serve as a platform for extensive validation of candidate TB biomarkers.MethodsThe NanoString platform was used for performance evaluation of existing TB gene signatures in a cohort in which signatures were previously evaluated on an RNA-seq dataset. A NanoString codeset that probes 107 genes comprising 12 TB signatures and 6 housekeeping genes (NS-TB107) was developed and applied to total RNA derived from whole blood samples of TB patients and individuals with latent TB infection (LTBI) from South India. The TBSignatureProfiler tool was used to score samples for each signature. An ensemble of machine learning algorithms was used to derive a parsimonious biomarker.ResultsGene signatures present in NS-TB107 had statistically significant discriminative power for segregating TB from LTBI. Further analysis of the data yielded a NanoString 6-gene set (NANO6) that when tested on 10 published datasets was highly diagnostic for active TB.ConclusionsThe NanoString nCounter system provides a robust platform for validating existing TB biomarkers and deriving a parsimonious gene signature with enhanced diagnostic performance.

Project description:The Nanostring nCounter gene expression assay uses molecular barcodes and single molecule imaging to detect and count hundreds of unique transcripts in a single reaction. These counts need to be normalized to adjust for the amount of sample, variations in assay efficiency and other factors. Most users adopt the normalization approach described in the nSolver analysis software, which involves background correction based on the observed values of negative control probes, a within-sample normalization using the observed values of positive control probes and normalization across samples using reference (housekeeping) genes. Here we present a new normalization method, Removing Unwanted Variation-III (RUV-III), which makes vital use of technical replicates and suitable control genes. We also propose an approach using pseudo-replicates when technical replicates are not available. The effectiveness of RUV-III is illustrated on four different datasets. We also offer suggestions on the design and analysis of studies involving this technology.

Project description:The NanoString nCounter System has been widely used in basic science and translational science research for the past decade. The System consists of two instruments: the PrepStation and the Digital Analyzer, and both have been continuously improved with evolving technologies. A great amount of research data have been generated at multiple research laboratories with the employment of different generations of the System. With the need of integrating multiple datasets, researchers are interested to know whether signals are comparable between different generations of the System. Toward this end, we designed a profiling study to compare performance of two generations of the NanoString nCounter System using a common set of biological samples. Using graphical tools and statistical models, we found that two different generations of NanoString nCounter System produced equivalent signals and signal deviations are in the range of random background noises for the medium-high expression levels.

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to investigate the role of MIF during wound healing using BALB/C MIF null mice and in the context of reduced estrogen-associated impaired healing using ovariectomized mice (a mouse model of age-associated delayed healing). Ageing is associated with delayed cutaneous wound healing resulting from reduced estrogen levels. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF - NCBI RefSeq: NM_010798) is thought to mediate the effects of estrogen on wound healing. Gene expression was compared between wounds from ovariectomized MIF null mice and controls.

Project description:Diagnostic histopathology of soft tissue tumors can be troublesome as many entities are quite rare and have overlapping morphologic features. Many soft tissue tumors harbor tumor-defining gene translocations, which may provide an important ancillary tool for tumor diagnosis. The NanoString nCounter platform enables multiplex detection of pre-defined gene fusion transcripts in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue. A cohort of 104 soft tissue tumors representing 20 different histological types was analyzed for the expression of 174 unique gene fusion transcripts. A tumor-defining gene fusion transcript was detected in 60 cases (58%). Sensitivity and specificity of the NanoString assay calculated against the result of an alternative molecular method were 85% and 100%, respectively. Highest diagnostic coverage was obtained for Ewing sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, and desmoplastic small round cell tumor. For these tumor types, the NanoString assay is a rapid, cost-effective, sensitive, and specific ancillary screening tool for molecular diagnosis. For other sarcomas, additional molecular testing may be required when a translocation transcript is not identified with the current 174 gene fusion panel.
