Project description:MicroRNAs play a vital role in the process of tumorigenesis. To identify and characterize miRNA Expression in renal cell cancer, we performed microarray based screening of miRNA expression profiles in clear cell, papillary type 1 and papillary type 2 renal cell cancer. We selected cases of confirmed clear cell, papillary type 1 and papillary type 2 renal cell carcinoma and generated pairs of tumor and corresponding normal tissue by manual microdissection.
Project description:Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) is a low-grade renal neoplasm with morphological characteristics mimicking both clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC). However, despite some overlapping features, their morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular profiles are distinct. To better understand the biology of this tumor, we analyze the miRNA expression profiles of a set of CCPRCC by microarrays.
Project description:We used RNA-SEQ technique to detect lncRNAs expression differences in 53 pairs of tumor and adjacent normal tissues of renal papillary cell carcinoma
Project description:Copy number variant (CNV) analysis was performed on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) specimens (chromophobe, clear cell, oncocytoma, papillary type 1, papillary type 2) using high resolution arrays (1.85 million probes). RCC samples exhibited diverse genomic changes within and across tumor types ranging from 106 CNV segments in a clear cell specimen to 2238 CNV segments in a papillary type 2 specimen. Despite the genomic heterogeneity, distinct CNV segments were common within each of 4 tumor classifications: chromophobe (7 segments), clear cell (3 segments), oncocytoma (9 segments), and papillary type 2 (2 segments). Shared segments ranged from a 6.1 Kb deletion among oncocytomas to a 208.3 Kb deletion common to chromophobes. Among common tumor type-specific variations, chromophobe, clear cell and oncocytomas comprised exclusively non-coding DNA. No CNV regions were common to papillary type 1 specimens although there were 12 amplifications and 12 deletions in 5 of 6 samples. Three microRNAs and 12 mRNA genes had M-bM-^IM-% 98% of their coding region contained within CNV regions including multiple gene families (chromophobe: amylase 1A, 1B, 1C; oncocytoma: general transcription factor 2H2, 2B, 2C, 2D). Gene deletions involved in histone modification and chromatin remodeling affected individual subtypes (clear cell: SFMBT, SETD2; papillary type 2: BAZ1A) as well as the collective RCC group (KDM4C). The genomic amplifications/deletions identified in each renal tumor type represent potential diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers. Tissue samples were obtained from the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Tissue Bank (HSTB) using an honest broker system and according to IRB approved protocol #970480. Samples were acquired as surgical specimens, flash-frozen in a 1.8 ml cryotube (NalgeNunc, Inc., Rochester, NY) followed by immediate storage at -80C. Each tumor sample (n=27) was classified into one of 5 renal cancer subtypes (chromophobe: n=5, clear cell: n=5, oncocytoma: n=5, papillary type 1: n=6, papillary type 2: n=6) by consensus evaluation of correlative hematoxylin and eosin stained slides performed independently by 3 anatomical pathologists. The three pathologists also confirmed the absence of pathological features in adjacent normal renal samples (n=9) and this normal reference group was expanded by inclusion of 14 normal thyroid samples and 8 normal lung specimens. DNA from each of these specimens was analyzed using genotyping microarrays (SNP 6.0, Affymetrix, Sunnyvale, CA).
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tissue versus matched normal kidney tissue. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in tumor and adjacent normal kidney tissue samples from ccRCC patients. Samples included 46 paired fresh frozen ccRCC tumor and adjacent normal kidney tissues.
Project description:The proteome of clinical tissue samples diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) were evaluated analyzed along with the dataset identifier PXD022018 to establish a potential discriminative biomarker panel of proteins for these tumors subtypes.
Project description:Each total RNA sample is hybridized to two different arrays: Affymetrix U133A (GPL96) and U133B (GPL97). For most of the normal tissue samples there is a renal clear cell carcinoma sample from the same patient. There is no matching tumor sample for normal sample N1. For most of the renal clear cell carcinoma samples there is a corresponding adjacent normal tissue sample from the same patient. There are no matching normal tissue samples for C011 or C032.
