Project description:Endometrial cancer represents the most frequent gynecologic malignant disease. Although several genetic alterations have been associated with increased risk, to date diagnosis and prognosis still rely on morphological features of the tumor, such as histological type, grading and invasiveness. As molecular-based classification is desirable for optimal treatment and prognosis of these cancers, , we explored the potential of lncRNAs as molecular biomarkers. To this end, we first identified by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) a set of lncRNAs differentially expressed in cancer vs normal endometrial tissues, a result confirmed also by analysis of RNA-Seq data of normal and cancerous endometrium from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). A significant association of a subset of these differentially expressed lncRNAs with tumor grade was then determined in 405 TCGA endometrial cancer profiles. Integrating endometrial cancer-specific expression profiles of long and small non-coding RNAs a functional association network was then identified. These results described for the first time a functional ‘core’ network, comprising small and long RNAs, whose deregulation is associated with endometrial neoplastic transformation, representing a set of cancer biomarkers that can be monitored and targeted for diagnosis, follow-up and therapy of these tumors.

Project description:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) have been implicated in human pathology, however, their roles in colorectal carcinogenesis has not been fully elucidated. In the current study, whole-transcriptome was analyzed in 3 pairs of colorectal cancer (CRC) and matched normal mucosa (NM) by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Followed by confirmation using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, we identified 27 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated lncRNAs in CRC. Up-regulation of four lncRNAs, hereby named colorectal cancer associated lncRNA (CRCAL)-1 [AC021218.2], CRCAL-2 [LINC00858], CRCAL-3 [RP11-138J23.1] and CRCAL-4 [RP11-435O5.2], was further validated by real-time RT-PCR in 139 colorectal neoplasms and matched NM tissues. Knockdown of CRCAL-3 and CRCAL-4 in colon cancer cells reduced cell viability and colony formation ability, and induced cell cycle arrest. TCGA dataset supported the associations of CRCAL-3 and CRCAL-4 with cell cycle and revealed a co-expression network comprising dysregulated lncRNAs associated with protein-coding genes. In conclusion, RNA-seq identified numbers of novel lncRNAs dysregulated in CRC. In vitro experiments and GO term enrichment analysis indicated the functional relevance of CRCAL-3 and CRCAL-4 in association with cell cycle. Our data highlight the capability of RNA-seq to discover novel lncRNAs involved in human carcinogenesis, which may serve as alternative biomarkers and/or molecular treatment targets.

Project description:There are over 15,000 long (>200 nucleotides) noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) genes in the human genome, but only few of them has been functionally characterized. Emerging evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) modulate diverse biological processes and mediate tumor-promoting/suppressing effects and serve as independent diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers in cancer. However, the role and function mechanism of the lncRNA/RBP-mediated regulatory circuits in determining the functional characteristics of GSCs underlying GBM pathogenesis remains poorly understood. To fill this gap, we combined CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) interference (CRISPRi), with large-scale computational analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to systematically identify the functional lncRNAs with clinically relevant expression in GBM.

Project description:Introductioncolorectal cancer (CRC) continues to be difficult to diagnose due to the lack of reliable and predictive biomarkers.Objectiveto identify blood-based biomarkers that can be used to distinguish CRC cases from controls.Methodsa workflow for untargeted followed by targeted metabolic profiling was conducted on the plasma samples of 26 CRC cases and ten healthy volunteers (controls) using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS). The data acquired in the untargeted scan was processed and analyzed using MarkerView™ software. The significantly different ions that distinguish CRC cases from the controls were identified using a mass-based human metabolome search. The result was further used to inform the targeted scan workflow.Resultsthe untargeted scan yielded putative biomarkers some of which were related to the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism (FOCM). Analysis of the targeted scan found the plasma levels of nine FOCM metabolites to be significantly different between cases and controls. The classification models of the cases and controls, in both the targeted and untargeted approaches, each yielded a 97.2% success rate after cross-validation.Conclusionwe have identified plasma metabolites with screening potential to discriminate between CRC cases and controls.

Project description:A total of 164 ccRCC patient’s specimens were used for microarray (n=12, tumor and corresponding normal tissue) or pyrosequencing (PSQ) analyses (n=152). From The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) portal, microarray methylation profiles composed of 312 subjects with ccRCC were utilized (159 for gene selection and 153 for prognostic relevance). Using the methylation profiles from our and TCGA, tumor-specific hypermethylated genes were selected, and prognostic relevance of candidate markers were examined with TCGA data set and pyrosequencing analysis data from our ccRCC patients samples.

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare malignancy, with the unique geographical and ethnically characteristics of distribution. Gene chip and bioinformatics have been employed to reveal regulatory mechanisms in current functional genomics. However, a practical solution addressing the unresolved aspects of microarray data processing and analysis have been long pursuit. This study developed a new method to improve the accuracy of identifying key biomarkers, namely Unit Gamma Measurement (UGM), accounting for multiple hypotheses test statistics distribution, which could reduce the dependency problem. Three mRNA expression profile of NPC were selected to feed UGM. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with UGM and hub genes were derived from them to explore their association with NPC using functional enrichment and pathway analysis. 47 potential DEGs were identified by UGM from the 3 selected datasets, and affluent in cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity, cilium movement, extracellular exosome etc. also participate in ECM-receptor interaction, chemical carcinogenesis, TNF signaling pathway, small cell lung cancer and mismatch repair pathway. Down-regulation of CAPS and WFDC2 can prolongation of the overall survival periods in the patients. ARMC4, SERPINB3, MUC4 etc. have a close relationship with NPC. The UGM is a practical method to identify NPC-associated genes and biomarkers.

Project description:The clinical course of prostate cancer (PCa) is highly variable, demanding an individualized approach to therapy and robust prognostic markers for treatment decisions. We here present a random forest-based classification model to predict aggressive behaviour of PCa. DNA methylation changes between PCa cases with good or poor prognosis (discovery cohort with n=78) were used as input. The model was validated with data from two independent PCa cohorts from ICGC and TCGA. Ranking of cancer progression-related DNA methylation changes allowed selection of candidate genes for additional validation by immunohistochemistry. We identified loss of ZIC2 protein expression as a promising novel prognostic biomarker for PCa in >12,000 tissue micro-array tumors. The prognostic value of ZIC2 proved to be independent from established clinico-pathological variables including Gleason, stage, nodal stage and PSA. In summary, we have developed a PCa classification model which either directly or via expression analyses of the identified top ranked candidate genes might help in decision making related to the treatment of prostate cancer patients.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the eighth cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. To screen potential biomarkers associated with early recurrence/metastasis (R/M) of ESCC patients after radical resection, ESCC patients were analyzed by a comparative proteomics analysis using iTRAQ with RPLC-MS to screen differential proteins among R/M groups and adjacent normal tissues. The proteins were identified by qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and tissue microarray. The protein and mRNA expression difference of PHB2 between tumor tissues of ESCC patients and adjacent normal tissues, ESCC patients with and without metastasis, four ESCC cell lines and normal esophageal epithelial cells were inspected using immunohistochemical staining, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting. The EC109 and TE1 cells were used to establish PHB2 knockdown cell models, and their cell proliferation and invasion ability were determined by cell counting method, Transwell® assay. Thirteen proteins were selected by cutoff value of 0.67 fold for underexpression and 1.5-fold for overexpression. Seven proteins were confirmed to be associated with R/M among the 13 proteins. The potential biomarker PHB2 for early recurrence/metastasis of ESCC was identified. PHB2 expression was related to the OS of ESCC patients (P = 0.032) and had high levels in the tumor tissues and human cell lines of ESCC (P = 0.0002). Also, the high PHB2 expression promoted the metastasis of ESCC (P = 0.0075), suggesting high PHB2 expression was a potential prognostic biomarker. Experiments showed that PHB2 could significantly promote the proliferation and cell invasion ability of human ESCC cell lines and the knockdown of PHB2 suppressed the phosphorylation level of AKT, as well as the expression of MMP9 and RAC1. PHB2 could predict the early metastasis of ESCC patients.
