Project description:HCC cell lines with different metastatic potential (HepG2, Huh7, MHCC97 and PVTT cells) were treated with TGFbeta1 for 8 h We used microarrays to discover the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) expression underlying Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) TGFbeta1 treated and non-treated control cells to identify distinct lncRNAs during this process.
Project description:We evaluated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (Hep3B, SNU449, and PLC/PRF/5) treated with ATAD2 siRNA or control using Affymetrix array data whether ATAD2 could be potential target in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Project description:<p>There is a clear need to develop biomarkers for Parkinson disease (PD) diagnosis and monitoring disease progression. In this study we evaluated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins, which are known to be critically involved in PD or identified in our preliminary profiling studies, aptamers, and RNAs as potential PD biomarkers. Access to subjects for this study was via the Pacific Northwest Udall Center (PANUC) and the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) at the University of Washington and Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU). Using CSF samples from 30 well-characterized patients with PD and 30 age-, sex-matched healthy controls, we prepared RNA seq libraries and performed deep sequencing of all RNA species, including small and long RNA, mRNAs, noncoding RNAs and differentially spliced transcripts. We then tried several methods for RNAseq data analysis to optimize our analysis pipeline. We identified a total of 3381 transcripts corresponding to 182 long intergenic RNAs (LincRNAs), 11 microRNAs (miRNAs), 2861 protein-coding transcripts, 200 pseudogenes and 127 antisense RNAs; some of them were differentially expressed between PD and control groups. Selected differentially expressed RNAs have been validated in the same set of CSF samples using real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Further validations in independent, larger cohorts of samples are still ongoing. Our results obtained so far suggested that CSF proteins and RNAs could be used as good indexes for PD diagnosis and disease severity/progression. This study is a part of the NIDDS-funded Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP).</p>
Project description:To understand the role of long non-coding RNAs and interaction with coding RNAs in bladder urothelial cell carcinoma (BUCC), we performed genome-wide screening long non-coding RNAs and coding RNAs expression on primary BUCC tissues and normal tissues using long non-coding RNA array (Agilent plateform (GPL13825). By comparing these two groups, significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs and coding RNAs were identified. We further identifed a subset of long noncoding RNAs and their correlation with neighboring coding genes using bioinformatic tools. This analysis provides foundamental understaning of transcriptomic landscape changing during bladder carcinogenesis.

The differential expression of subset of long noncoding RNAs and their interaction with coding RNAs in BUCC compared with normal tissue will be identified with comtational analysis.
Project description:The expression of long non-coding RNAs - lncRNAs - was profiled in the liver cancer Hepatocellular Carcinoma - HCC - and in normal liver tissues using the Invitrogen NCode Human lncRNA Array Platform.
Project description:Keratinocyte-derived cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer, and its incidence is increasing globally. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various biological processes, and their role in cancer progression is emerging. Whole transcriptome analysis of cSCC cell lines (n=8) and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs, n=4) revealed overexpression of long intergenic ncRNA (LINC00346) in cSCC cells (GSE66412). We wanted to futher study the RNA expression profile of LINC00346 knockdown cSCC cells. Based on our observations, LINC00346 was named PRECSIT (p53 regulated carcinoma-associated STAT3-activating long intergenic non-protein coding transcript).
Project description:To explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 3 pairs of human HCC and adjacent normal tissue (NT) by microarray. With abundant probes accounting for 33,045 lncRNAs and 30,215 coding transcripts in our microarray, the number of lncRNAs and coding transcripts that could be detected here is 10,149 and 14,944, respectively. From the data, thousands of lncRNAs and mRNAs were found to bedifferentially expressed (Fold Change≥2.0) in HCC tissues compared with NT and identified 624 lncRNAs and 1050 mRNAs were differentially expressed in all three HCC tissues.Bioinformatic analysis (gene ontology, pathway and network analysis) was performed for further study of these differentially expressed mRNAs.By qRT-PCR analysis in nineteen pairs HCC and adjacent normal tissues, we found that eightl ncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in HCC compared with corresponding NT, which is consistent with microarray data. Additionally, change trends of seven lncRNAs were basically identical to their nearby coding genes. In this study, to explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 3 pairs of human HCC and adjacent normal tissue (NT) by microarray.
Project description:Long non-coding RNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is involved in human tumorigenesis and dysregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HOTAIR functions in HCC are not well understood. Here, an integrated RNA sequencing transcriptomic and quantitative proteomic analysis were employed to systematically explore the regulatory role of HOTAIR in HCC. A total of 673 transcripts and 298 proteins were identified to be dysregulated after HOTAIR inhibition. Bioinformatics studies indicated that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and proteins (DEPs) are involved in many biological processes, especially cancer-related signalling pathways.
