Project description:To investigate the mechanisms of ccRCC progression and metastasis, we performed expression profiling of human kidney cancer and benign tissues. mRNA microarray expression analysis was performed by using 28 matched malignant and non-malignant kidney tissue samples from 14 ccRCC patients without diagnosed metastasis. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Project description:Genome-wide methylation analysis was performed by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation-CGI microarray analysis. A pool of four cancer samples without lymph node metastasis, two pools of four cancer samples with lymph node metastasis, and three metastatic lymph nodes were prepared from the patients, and analyzed by MeDIP-CGI microarray.
Project description:This study aims to investigate differentially expressed proteins in tumor pericytes derived from colorectal cancer patients with or without liver metastasis. Tumor pericytes were isolated from tumor of colorectal cancer patients with or without liver metastasis. Then, tumor pericytes were cultured and subjected to proteomic analysis. TCAF2 was significantly increased in tumor pericytes from liver metastasis patients.
Project description:Identifying the exact molecules associated with CRC metastasis may be crucial to understand the process, which might also be translated to the diagnosis and treatment of CRC. In this study, we investigate the association of microRNA expression patterns with the lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer. To investigate the association of microRNA expression patterns with the lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer, eight primary colorectal cancer tissues derived from stage II–III colorectal cancer patients with (n = 4) or without (n = 4) lymph node metastasis were collected and the miRNA expression profiles of them were determined using Agilent miRNA microarray. Different miRNA expression profiles were identified in CRC tissues between lymph node metastasis positive and negative group.
