Project description:miRNA expression profiling between GIST and leiomyoma specimens taken by Tunneling Bloc Biopsy Nine GIST patients and seven gastric leiomyoma patients underwent endoscopic biopsy called Tunnel Block Biopsy. MiRNAs were extracted from the tissues, then.
Project description:Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are phenotypically and clinically heterogeneous mesenchymal tumors. Using the cDNA array technique, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of 22 GIST and 7 non-neoplastic gastrointestinal smooth muscle specimens, in order to detect molecular differences between GIST and non-neoplastic tissue, and to detect differences between GIST of various phenotypic and clinical subgroups. As a result, we found 796 differentially expressed genes and ESTs between GIST and smooth muscle tissue, including promising new candidate genes for the pathogenesis of GIST. Furthermore, we identified differences in gene expression between GIST of different site, size, and immunohistochemical expression of CD34 and SMA. Our data show that alterations in gene expression are associated with morphologically and clinically detectable features of GIST and provide new aspects for the understanding of these tumors.

Project description:In this work, we undertake a comparative mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of intravenous leiomyoma (IVLM) and other smooth muscle tumours (uterine leiomyoma (uLM), soft tissue leiomyoma (stLM) and benign metastatic keiomyoma (BML). By utilising sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS), we quantified >2,400 proteins from FFPE samples and demonstrate that at the protein level, IVLM is characterised by the unique co-regulated expression of splicing factors that comprise the spliceosome.
Project description:Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have an impaired gene expression. As microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression we performed the first high-throughput miRNA profiling of 15 paired GIST formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples (tumor and adjacent normal tissue) using small RNA sequencing approach.
