Project description:We analyzed tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from 62 Taiwanese HCC cases using Illumina HumanMethylation 27 chips. After Bonferroni adjustment, a total of 2,324 CpG sites significantly differed in methylation level, with 684 CpG sites significantly hypermethylated and 1,640 hypomethylated in tumor compared to non-tumor tissues. Array data were validated with pyrosequencing in a subset of 5 of these genes; correlation coefficients ranged from 0.92 to 0.97. 62 tumor and 62 adjacent non tumor tissues

Project description:We examine genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in 66 pairs of HCC tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues. After Bonferroni adjustment, a total of 130,512 CpG sites significantly differed in methylation level in tumor compared to non-tumor tissues, with 28,017 CpG sites hypermethylated and 102,495 hypomethylated in tumor tissues. Most (60.1%) significantly hypermethylated CpG sites are located in CpG islands. These results demonstrate the significance of aberrant DNA methylation in HCC tumorigenesis. Bisulfite modification of 1µg DNA was conducted using an EZ DNA Methylation Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA) according to the manufacturer’s procedure. The Infinium Methylation 450K assay was performed according to Illumina’s standard protocol. Six HCC tumor/adjacent non-tumor tissue pairs were processed on the same chip to avoid chip-to-chip variation.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are aberrant expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue and play a central role in diverse biological processes. We conducted a genome-wide miRNAs screening in 10 pairs of HCC tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues to test the hypothesis that dysregulation of miRNAs in HCC tumor tissue are partially due to aberrant methylation in relevant miRNAs host genes. Taqman low density arrays were used to examine miRNA profiles in paired HCC tissues, and quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate candidate miRNAs for both discovery and validation sets. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 10 HCC tumor tissues and 10 adjacent non-tumor tissues in Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), which is approved by the Institutional Review Board.

Project description:DNA methylation profiling of tumor and adjacent non-tumorous tissues of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs. Samples included 59 tumors and 59 adjacent non-tumorous samples.
