Project description:Long noncoding RNA profile in the heart, whole blood, and plasma before and heart failure (HF). In the study presented here, we mixed the five pairs of mouse hearts, whole blood, and plasma before and after HF and identified the genome-wide expression level of lncRNAs.
Project description:Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) during adolescence significantly jeopardizes both mental and physical well-being. However, the etiology underlying MDD in adolescents remains unclear. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) played significant roles in regulating various biological processes. 10 drug-naïve adolescents with MDD patients and 10 age, sex matched healthy control were enrolled. Draw whole blood from the cubital vein from participants, plasma was centrifuged at 3500rpm 10min. An exoRNeasy Midi and Maxi Kits were used to isolate the plasma exosome and extract exosomal RNA per the manufacturer’s instruction. Microarray technology was used to detect lncRNAs and mRNAs. Bioinformatics analysis was applied to explore function of differential expression genes and screen candidate genes.
Project description:The stability of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in human plasma was identified through expression profiling of genes across different time points (0, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours).
Project description:Atm+/+ and Atm-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts were treated with or without DNA damaging agent neocarzinostatin (NCS), and cells were harvested after 4 hours and 8 hours for the microarray analyses of whole-genome long noncoding RNAs. To examine how long noncoding RNAs are regulated in the DNA damage response, we assessed the genome-wide long noncoding RNA expression in Atm+/+ and Atm-/- littermate mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) treated with or without DNA damage
Project description:We sequenced plasma exosomal RNA obtained from 24 blood samples from 12 cervical cancer patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by intracavitary brachytherapy. The patients with 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] stage IB-3C2 at diagnosis were included. The 12 cervical cancer patients had two blood samples for each patient drawn before and after CCRT. Next generation sequencing data from plasma exosome included small RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and mRNAs, of which miRNAs and mRNAs were used for analysis. The log2 fold change values were calculated between the two samples from each patient to detect mRNAs as predictors of slope of function estimated from ALCs and survival. We selected several potential exosomal mRNAs associated with clinical results.
