Project description:The nasopharyngeal microbiota of healthy cattle vs. cattle diagnosed with BRD in a commercial feedlot setting was compared using a high-density 16S rRNA microarray (Phylochip). Nasopharyngeal samples were taken from both groups of animals (n=5) at feedlot entry (day 0) and >60 days later.
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:To analyze impact of co-culture presence and type of feeder cell lines, we compared the transcriptome of bovine blastocyst (192 hpi) using a new custom bovine microarray.
