Project description:This experiment was performed to compare and intend to acquire a genetic expression feature of signet ring cell carcinoma in colorectal cancer that is extremely rare histological type and also shows significantly worse prognosis compared with conventional histological type of the cancer.
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
Project description:Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of the stomach is a subtype of gastric cancer with poor prognosis. It is characterized with unique large vacuoles of mucin and compressed nucleus, which resemble signet rings, while the underlying molecular mechanisms driving SRCC remain elusive. Here, we studied whether and how human gastric SRCC-associated ARID1A deficiency drove the disease.
