Project description:Recently, long noncoding rnas (lncRNAs) have been shown to have key roles in the development and prgression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanism that contributes to the HCC biology is unknown, especially at the early and middle stages. In this study, we comprehensively investigaged lnRNAs and mRNAs expression in HCC. We found three significant lnRNAs for diagostic markers in HCC at early stage.
Project description:We conducted a quantitative assessment of drug-inducible cis-regulatory elements (CREs) based on transcription initiation profiling of mRNAs and noncoding RNAs, including enhancer RNAs, by using CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression). Candidate CREs were identified in a hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line with stable expression of drug-responsive transcription factor pregnane X receptor (PXR) .
Project description:To identifythe the functional roles and the pathophysiological contributions of coding genes and noncoding RNAs in human hepatic carcinogenesis, we analysed the differenial expression of genes and noncoding RNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and the corresponding non-cancerous tissues. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in human hepatocellular carcinomas and correponding non-cancerous tissues.
Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs can interact with microRNAs to regulate target mRNAs through competing interactions. However, this mechanism remains largely unexplored in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, transcriptome-wide RNA sequencing in 3 pairs of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues was performed to investigate the expression profiles of lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs.
