Project description:Tumor-adjacent noncancerous tissues often exhibited abnormalities on molecular levels, which is described as field effect of cancerization. Accumulated evidence demonstrated that filed effect may also play important role in cancer progression. In the present study, we found that the gene expression profile in noncancerous lung tissues adjacent to lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was significantly associated with regional lymph node status of patients. Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) showed that 121 genes were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (delta=0.75, FDR=0.069). Interestingly, all of the significant genes were up-regulated in the lymph node positive samples. For these genes, the most significant biological GO terms were extracellular structure organization, cell adhesion, regulation of cell motion/migration, and vessel development, etc, which were also involved in EMT process supported by another experiment in vitro. Tumor-adjacent histologically normal lung tissues were collected from 60 primary lung SCC patients, of whom 34 (56.7%) suffered regional lymph node metastasis. Gene expression profiling analysis of these samples was performed using Agilent 4x44K human whole genome gene expression microarray (G4112F).
Project description:We investigated whether the miRNA expression could distinguish lung cancers from normal tissues, examining 116 pairs of primary lung cancers with their corresponding adjacent normal lung tissues collected a minimum of 5 cm from the tumor. Our analysis identified a five microRNA classifier could distinguish malignant lung cancer lesions from adjacent normal tissues. SCLC could be distinguished from non small lung cancer by microRNAs profiling. Survival associations were examined with the SCC and adenocarcinoma subtypes. High hsa-miR-31 expression was associated with poor survival in SCC, and the association was confirmed in 20 independent SCC patients by qRT-PCR assays. Overall these findings may help advance the use of microRNA profiling in personalized diagnosis of lung cancers.

Project description:To further understand the expression pattern of long non-coding RNAs in early stage lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), we have employed the Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray V3.0 profiling as a discovery platform to identify lncRNAs which are differentially expressed in early stage lung SCC. Three pairs of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues of early stage lung SCC patients are used for microarray analysis.

Project description:To evaluate the molecular changes of lung malignancy in HIV infection, we analyzed the differential gene expression profiles and screened the early detection biomarkers of HIV-associated lung cancer using Affymetrix arrays. RNA was for transcriptomic profiles analysis in the HIV lung cancer tumor tissue samples from 3 patients with AC and 1 patient with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) including 3 pairs of tumor/adjacent normal tissue paraffin specimens and 1 pair of tumor/adjacent normal fresh tissue samples.
Project description:MS spectrum of lung tissue metabolic analysis in 131 patients with lung cancer or benign lung tumor. These include lung cancer tissues/benign tumor tissues, adjacent normal tissues and distal normal tissues.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human colorectal cancer tissues comparing control from histologically normal tissue samples adjacent to the tumors. High throughput bioluminescence imaging, and PET were performed. The overall goal was to determine the differential expression of lncRNA and mRNA between tumor and match normal samples.
Project description:Genome wide gene expression profiling of lung adenocarcinoma and non-tumor adjacent tissues. The Agilent microarray was used to obtain gene expression profiles. Samples included eight lung cancer and adjacent non-tumor tissues excised from a cohort of 8 patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
