Project description:Comprehensive Analysis of Biliary Microbiota and Bile Acid Profiles in Biliary Obstruction Patients With Clonorchis sinensis Infection
Project description:We have completed the Arraystar Human circRNA Array V2 analysis of 10 bile exosome samples (5 cholangiocarcinoma-induced biliary obstruction vs. 5 benign biliary obstruction). Total RNA from each sample was quantified using the NanoDrop ND-1000. The sample preparation and microarray hybridization were performed based on the Arraystar’s standard protocols. Briefly, total RNAs were digested with Rnase R (Epicentre, Inc.) to remove linear RNAs and enrich circular RNAs. Then, the enriched circular RNAs were amplified and transcribed into fluorescent cRNA utilizing a random priming method (Arraystar Super RNA Labeling Kit; Arraystar). The labeled cRNAs were hybridized onto the Arraystar Human circRNA Array V2 (8x15K, Arraystar). After having washed the slides, the arrays were scanned by the Agilent Scanner G2505C. Agilent Feature Extraction software (version 11.0.1.1) was used to analyze acquired array images. Quantile normalization and subsequent data processing were performed using the R software limma package. Differentially expressed circRNAs with statistical significance between two groups were identified through Volcano Plot filtering. Differentially expressed circRNAs between two samples were identified through Fold Change filtering. Hierarchical Clustering was performed to show the distinguishable circRNAs expression pattern among samples.
Project description:Congenital biliary atresia, biliary atresia accounts for half of the cases of neonatal long-term obstructive jaundice, and its incidence is 1:8000-1:14000 live births, but there are big differences in region and ethnicity. Most cases have been reported in Asia. The incidence of Eastern peoples is 4-5 times higher, and the ratio of men to women is 1:2. Congenital biliary atresia is a kind of obstruction of the bile ducts inside and outside the liver, which can lead to cholestatic liver cirrhosis. Congenital biliary atresia and eventually liver failure. It is one of the most important digestive surgery diseases in the field of pediatric surgery, and it is also a pediatric liver transplant. The most common indication.
Project description:Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) is one of the most prevalent and costly digestive system diseases in the world and can lead to pancreatitis, severe biliary tract infection and malignant biliary tract tumors. Gallstones can induce biliary colic, and the pain radiates to the shoulder and back. Severe attacks cause nausea and vomiting, which seriously affect the patient's work and life. Exosomes are important extracellular vesicles, and exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) can be used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a variety of diseases. To the best of our knowledge, exosomal miRNA has not been well evaluated as a biomarker of the progression of cholelithiasis or the onset of biliary colic. Methods: Plasma samples from 10 patients with biliary colic attack were collected for exosome extraction, identification and miRNA sequencing. The exosome miRNA sequencing data of 10 healthy people in the GEO database were used as controls for data analysis. Results: Comparison of the plasma exosomal miRNAs of patients with biliary colic to those of healthy controls showed that 35 exosomal miRNAs were upregulated and 9 miRNAs were downregulated. GO and KEGG analyses showed that differential miRNAs are involved in the inflammatory response. The analysis of the subject operation characteristic curve shows that the expression of plasma exosomal miR-1268a can better reflect the attack characteristics of biliary colic than other miRNAs. miR-146a-3p participates in body inflammation and lipid metabolism processes and can be used as a potential therapeutic target. Conclusion: Plasma exosomal miRNAs can be used as biomarkers during the onset of biliary colic and can also be used as potential molecular targets to inhibit inflammation and analgesia.
