Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs), non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression, are frequently aberrantly expressed in human cancers. Next-generation deep sequencing technology enables genome-wide expression profiling of known miRNAs and discovery of novel miRNAs at unprecedented quantitative and qualitative accuracy. Deep sequencing was performed on 22 fresh frozen clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), 11 non-tumoral renal cortex (NRC) samples and 2 ccRCC cell lines (n=35). The 22 ccRCCs patients belonged to 3 prognostic sub-groups, i.e. Those without disease recurrence, with recurrence and with metastatic disease at diagnosis Deep sequencing was performed on 22 fresh frozen clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), 11 non-tumoral renal cortex (NRC) samples and 2 ccRCC cell lines (n=35).

Project description:We performed a microRNA (miRNA) microarray on 10 metastatic RCC tumors and compared differential miRNA expresison to 19 primary clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). We found there were 65 significantly dysregulated miRNAs; 9 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 56 miRNAs were significantly downregulated in metastatic RCC when compared to primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma. miRNA microarray was performed on 10 metastatic RCC tumors

Project description:This study investigates the genes that promote clear cell renal cell carcimoma (ccRCC) metastasis using 4 primary metastatic and 5 non-metastatic tumor samples. U133 plus 2.0 array was used to identify the diffrently expressed genes between the primary metastatic and non metastatic ccRCC samples To identify differences in gene expression assoctiated with ccRCC metastasis, 4 primary metastatic and 5 non-metastatic ccRCC samples were used to perform expression profiling.

Project description:Background/Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in cancerogenesis and cancer progression, but their specific role in metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) as so-called metastamirs is still limited. Based on microRNA microarray analyses from normal (n=12) and cancerous (n=12) samples of ccRCC specimens and from bone metastases (n=9) of ccRCC patients, we identified a set of 57 differentially expressed microRNAs between those three sample groups of ccRCC. A selected panel of 33 miRNAs, including miRNAs reported in the literature as differentially expressed in non-metastatic RCC, was validated by RT-qPCR on 57 clinical samples. 30 of the 33 examined miRNAs were confirmed to be deregulated. A stepwise down-regulated miRNA expression from normal over primary tumor to metastatic tissue samples was found to be typical. 23 miRNAs (miR-10b/-19a/-19b/-20a/-29a/-29b/-29c/-100/-101/-126/-127/-130/-141/-143/-145/-148a/-192/-194/-200c/-210/-215/-370/-514) were down-regulated in metastatic tissue samples in comparison to normal tissue. This down-regulated expression in metastatic tissue was also present in 21 miRNAs except for miR-127 and miR-370. The altered miRNA profiles including the newly identified metastasis-associated miRNAs, the compiled predicted miRNA-target interactions, and the significant correlations of miRNAs which were either lost or newly appeared in the studied sample groups afford a solid basis for further functional analyses of individual miRNAs. In this study, microarray-based profiling was performed from 9 bone metastatic tissue samples from 9 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). For controls, 2 bone metastatic samples from two patients with prostate carcinoma and 5 total RNA pools (2 different pools of total RNAs isolated from malignant renal tissue samples derived from different ccRCC patients; 1 pool from non-malignant renal tissue of ccRCC patients; 2 pools of total RNA both from malignant and non-malignant prostate cancer tissue) were used. In addition, matched malignant (e.g., malignant NC2) and non-malignant (e.g., non-malignant NN1) samples from two independent 12 ccRCC sets were profiled (these samples were previously analyzed on a different Platform in GSE12105). The 2002 TNM System and the 2004 WHO classification was used for staging and grading.
