Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most malignant cancers with high morbidity and mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that affect biological processes by binding to mRNAs and regulating their expression, and epigenetic alterations including miRNA dysregulation are significantly involved in CRC development. Here we report significantly up-regulated as well as down-regulated miRNAs in CRC tissues compared with their matched non-tumoral tissues.
Project description:To investigate the role of TGF-β1-regulated miRNAs in the progression of colorectal cancer,we performed comprehensive miRMA microarray analysis on RNA derived from typical human colorectal cancer cell lines and TGF-β1 knock-down human colorectal cancer cell lines. We identified a novel set of TGF-β1-related miRNAs.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in normal colon (CRN) and colorectal cancer (CRC) by using microarray system.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to identify miRNAs involved in the pathology of colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis and investigate their underlying mechanisms. A total of 39 miRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed between 16 primary CRC tissues with liver metastases and 16 CRC tissues without liver metastases from 32 patients by Affymetric miRNA microarrays. 16 coloretcal cancer tissues with liver metastasis and 16 colorectal cancer tissues without liver metastasis were included in this study for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs between colorectal cancer tissues with and without liver metastasis.
Project description:To investigate the role of TGF-β1-regulated miRNAs in the progression of colorectal cancer,we performed comprehensive miRMA microarray analysis on RNA derived from CT26 cell lines and TGF-β1 knock-down CT26 cell lines. We identified a novel set of TGF-β1-related miRNAs.
Project description:LncRNA plays an important role in gene regulation, but its impact on the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and the biological function of cancer cells is unclear. In this study, we will use the next generation sequencing technique to study the differences of the expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues, analyzing the differentially expressed genes by GO/KEGG enrichment, and predicting the new lncRNAs’ function. Our results revealed that Comparing with the nontumor colorectal tissues, 1019 lncRNAs (512 upregulated, 507 downregulated) and 3221 mRNAs (1606 upregulated, 1615 downregulated) were differentially expressed in tumor colorectal tissues (fold change>2 and P<0.05).
