Project description:A gene expression profiles of human oral squamous cell carcinoma lines, HSC-2 and Ca9-22, cultured under hypoxic conditions (1% pO2 for 24 or 48 hours) were compaired with those under normoxic conditions (21% pO2).
Project description:A gene expression profiles of human oral squamous cell carcinoma lines, HSC-2 and Ca9-22, cultured under hypoxic conditions (1% pO2 for 24 or 48 hours) were compaired with those under normoxic conditions (21% pO2). Six arrays for 2 cell lines in 3 conditions were analyzed.
Project description:The purpose of this analysis is to analyze the changes that occur in microRNAs contained in exosomes released from cancer cells in the tumor hypoxic environment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC). We used microarrays to perform a comprehensive analysis of microRNAs in exosomes released from human ESCC cell lines under normoxic or hypoxic conditions.
Project description:Hypoxic microenvironment plays important roles in the progression of solid tumors including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gained much attention in the past few years. However, it is not clear whether lncRNAs could regulate hypoxia-adaptation of OSCC, and which lncRNAs participate in this process. Using an lncRNA microarray, we analyzed the aberrant lncRNA expression profiles in OSCC tissues compared with paired normal oral mucosa as well as in hypoxic OSCC cells compared with normoxic OSCC cells. Our microarray also identified 942 lncRNAs that were up-regulated and 507 lncRNAs that were down-regulated in cells cultured under hypoxia compared with those cultured under normoxia (Fold Change >= 2.0, P-value <= 0.05). An OSCC cell line Cal-27 was cultured under either 20% O2 (normoxic) or 1% O2 (hypoxic) conditions. Three samples from each group were obtained for microarray study.
