Project description:To investigate the role of miRNAs in the progression of colon cancer, we performed comprehensive miRMA microarray analysis on RNA derived from colon cancer tissues and normal colon tissues. We identified a novel set of colon cancer-related miRNAs. Total RNA was isolated from colon cancer tissues and normal colon tissues. Six-condition experiment: H normal tiss vs. H tumor tissue, S normal tiss vs. S tumor tissue, W1 normal tiss vs. W1 tumor tissue, M normal tiss vs. M tumor tissue, W2 normal tiss vs. W2 tumor tissue, and Y normal tiss vs. Y tumor tissue. Biological replicates: 1H normal tiss, 1H tumor tissue, 1S normal tissM-oM-<M-^L1S tumor tissue, 1W1 normal tissM-oM-<M-^L1W1 tumor tissue, 1M normal tissM-oM-<M-^L1M tumor tissue, 1W2 normal tissM-oM-<M-^L1W2 tumor tissue, 1Y normal tiss and 1Y tumor tissue, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
