Project description:Pseudogene INTS6P1 regulates its cognate gene INTS6 through competitive binding of miR-17-5p in hepatocellular carcinoma [mRNA, lncRNA]
Project description:To identify the novel tumor suppressors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform in HCC and paired normal liver tissues to identify genes which down-regulated in HCC. Among which, INTS6 and its pseudogene, namely INTS6P1, were found to be dramatically down-regulated in HCC. The down-regulated expression of INTS6 and INTS6P1 in HCC was further confirmed by real-time PCR. RNA was extracted from 3 pairs of HCC and normal liver tissue harvested from patients to undergo microarray study.

Project description:Background/Objective: Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is widely used in miRNA expression studies on cancer. To compensate for the analytical variability produced by the multiple steps of the method, relative quantification of the measured miRNAs is required, which is based on normalization to endogenous reference genes. A literature search in PubMed revealed that no study has been performed so far on reference miRNAs for normalization of miRNA expression in urothelial carcinoma. The aim of this study was to identify suitable reference genes for miRNA expression studies by RT-qPCR in urothelial carcinoma. Methods: Candidate reference miRNAs were selected from 24 papillary urothelial carcinoma and normal bladder tissue samples by miRNA microarrays. The usefulness of these candidate reference miRNAs together with the commonly for normalization purposes used small nuclear RNAs RNU6B, RNU48, and Z30 were thereafter validated by RT-qPCR in 58 tissue samples and analyzed by the algorithms geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper. Principal Findings: Based on the miRNA microarray data, a total of 16 miRNAs were identified as putative reference genes. After validation by RT-qPCR, miR-101, miR-125a-5p, miR-148b, miR-151-3p, miR-151-5p, miR-181a, miR-181b miR-29c, miR-324-3p, miR-424, miR-874, RNU6B, RNU48, and Z30 were used for geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper analyses that gave different combinations of recommended reference genes for normalization. Conclusions: The present study provided the first systematic analysis for identifying suitable reference miRNAs for miRNA expression studies of urothelial carcinoma by RT-qPCR. Different combinations of reference genes resulted in reliable expression data for both strongly and less strongly altered miRNAs. Notably, RNU6B, which is the most frequently used reference gene for miRNA studies, gave inaccurate normalization. The combination of four (miR-125a-5p, miR-148b, miR-151-3p, and miR-151-5p) or three (miR-148b, miR-874, miR-181b) miRNA reference genes is recommended for normalization. Candidate reference miRNAs (for RT-qPCR analysis) were selected from 24 papillary urothelial carcinoma and normal bladder tissue samples by miRNA microarrays.
Project description:Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an epidemiologically higher risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In mouse models, administration of streptozotocin (STZ) induces insulin-dependent DM by causing islet beta-cell dysfunction and also induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after 12 weeks. We attempted to elucidate the carcinogenic mechanism in the precancerous state by using hepatic miRNAs and create precancerous marker using exosomal miRNA. Serum and liver tissues were collected from STZ mice and non-treated mice (CTL mice) at 6, 10 and 12W. Total RNA in liver and exosome were extracted. Histological examination in liver in HE stain and hepatic and exosomal miRNA analysis were serially performed. miRNA and mRNA was analyzed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The raw data of NGS was analyzed by Principal Component analysis. No inflammation or fibrosis was found in the liver in CTL mice during the observation period. In STZ-treated mice, regeneration and inflammation of hepatocytes was found at 6W and then nodules of atypical hepatocytes were found at 10 and 12 W. Expression of let-7f-5p, miR-21a-5p, 22-3p, and 26a-5p in liver of STZ mice was significantly increased during 6-10W, and these miRNAs controlled several tumor suppressor genes as target genes. We also identified six novel miRNAs associated with precancerous status. Furthermore, miR-122-5p and miR-192-5p in exosome were significantly upregulated in STZ mice in precancerous state. The expression of miRNAs that regulate tumor suppressor genes was enhanced even before carcinogenesis, and the expression of these miRNAs was not affected by liver fibrosis. In addition, the expression pattern of miRNAs in exosome is expected to be a marker for predicting carcinogenesis.

Project description:This project completed the transcriptome analysis of 6 samples and obtained 12142010 reads Clean Data (after quality control sequencing data). The average clean data volume of each sample was 1833443535 bp , the Q30 base percentage was over 80%, and the GC content was 68.15. % To 46.53%. In this study, we used RNA sequencing and integrated bioinformatics approach to explore hub miRNA-mRNA interactions that are highly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma development. Our data indicated that miR-139-5p is closely related to the overall survival rate of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and directly combines with ITGB8 to regulate its expression.
