Project description:Stem-like cells of nasopharyngeal cancer were enriched by 3 different methods: 1) Side population (SP) assay, 2) LMP2A over-expression and 3) spheroid culture. SP cells and LMP2A over-expressed cells were inoculated into immunocompromised mice for xenograft tumors. Transcriptomes of all 5 of these in vitro and in vivo generated NPC stem-like cells were then analyzed and compared to their counterparts by microarray. All samples were analyzed in the Agilent platform except the SP cells and their counterpart (analyzed in the Affymetrix platform). Three RNA sample replicates were prepared from each type of the NPC stem-like cells and their counterpart.

Project description:In order to investigate the genome-wide binding profile of the forkhead transcription factor FOXK2 in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and downstream cell types, we generated the ChIP-seq data of FOXK2 in H1 ESC cells and two differentiated types of cells, mesendoderm cells and NPC cells.
Project description:To investigate the function of KRAS activation in the regulation of neoplastic features, we established NPC-KRASG13D cell lines in which KRAS has been overexpressed. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4 different cells (NPC cells, NPC-KRASG13D, U251-GSC, and U118MG-GSC).
Project description:Analysis of differential expression between NPC and non-NPC tissues at miRNA expression level. We used a miRNA microarray platform to investigate the profile between NPC tissues and normal nasopharyngeal tissues to evaluate the relationship between miRNA expression and NPC. Recognition of the aberrant miRNAs and enrichment pathway analysis of predicted target gene may provide some clues to estimate the mechanism of miRNA effects on NPC carcinogenesis mediated by miRNA-mRNA regulation.
