Project description:To understand the cellular diversity and alterations in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy (DPN), weenrolled 4 DPN patients, 3 traumatic limb amputation (TLA) patients at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma samples were obtained after patients provided written informed consent and with the approval of the institutional research ethics board at the Liver Cancer Institute of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Fresh tumor tissues were implanted in NOD/SCID mice. Tumor lines were successfully maintained through multiple rounds of serial transplantation. We used microarrays to evaluate the genotype similarity between patient tumor and patient-derived xenograft (PDX).
Project description:The purpose of this study is to analysis 41 RNA modification enzymes in 1659 HBM samples from 10 public datasets, and 100 HCC samples from Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University (Shanghai, China). we designed an RH score model to predict the clinical prognosis, response to molecular targeted drugs and immunotherapy and transcriptional and posttranscriptional events, thereby providing a novel panel of next-generation sequencing for clinical translation.

Project description:Purpose: To reveal the global regulatory genes of clinical strain, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses of the SC5314 and JL01.Methods: We isolated a clinical Candida albicans strain JL01 (Jinling Hospital in Nanjing, China) from a 21-year-old man who presented to our hospital with recurrent cervical lymphadenitis. Cells of the JL01 and SC5314 were inoculated from overnight cultures by 1% into liquid YPD plus 10% serum medium at 37°C for 3 h. Cells were collected and total RNA was extracted as described. RNA-Seq analysis was performed by the company Majorbio (Shanghai, China). mRNA was purified, fragmented and used to synthesize cDNA. The library products were sequenced on the HiSeq 4000 platform using the HisSeq 4000 PE Cluster Kit and HisSeq 4000 SBS Kit.Results: 421 genes were significantly differentially regulated (P≤0.05, |log2FC|≥1) in JL01 compared with SC5314. Of these 421 DEGs (differentially expressed genes), 216 were up-regulated, and 205 were down-regulated. Conclusions: Together the clinical, morphological and biological analyses, we suggest that azole drug resistance, invasive defect and hypo-virulence of the JL01 strain may correlate with its contribution in chronic fungal infection.
Project description:ARPE-19 RPE cells obtained from the Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China) were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA) at the incubator with 37 °C, 5% CO2 and 100% humidity. Final concentration of 15 μM curcumin (C7727, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) and 100 μM CoCl4 (10007216, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent, Shanghai, China) were added within serum-free medium for 24 h and 4 h respectively. RNA-seq was performed to investigate the transcriptome alteration.

Project description:We applied small RNA Solexa sequencing technology to identify microRNA expression in human liver samples from surgically removed liver tissues including three normal liver tissues (distal normal liver tissue of liver hemangioma), an hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected liver, a severe chronic hepatitis B liver, two HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), an hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC, and an HCC without HBV or HCV infection. All samples were collected with the informed consent of the patients and the experiments were approved by the ethics committee of Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China. We investigated the miRNome in human normal liver and suggested some deregulated abundantly expressed microRNAs in HCC. center_name: National Key Laboratory of Medical Immunology & Institute of Immunology, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China.
