Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme(GBM) is the most common and lethal malignant primary brain tumor. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in many cancers and are involved in their cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and invasion. To systematically study the role of lncRNAs in GBM, we built gene expression profiles of GBM and non-tumor tissues using lncRNA and mRNA gene expression microarrays.
Project description:The expression profiling of a total of 26109 mRNAs and 30586 lncRNAs in 5 glioblastoma and 5 normal brain cases, which had been consecutively operated on within a defined short period of time.
Project description:We used microarrays to investigate the whole genome gene expression level changes of LncRNAs in human Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and normal brain tissues, and try to find out some LncRNA associated with the tumorigenesis of GBM. The human LncRNA microarray analysis of 9 samples (5 GBM and 4 normal brain tissues) were completed. Total RNA from each sample was quantified and RNA integrity was assessed using standard denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis. Total RNA of each sample was used for labeling and array hybridization. Array scanning using the Agilent Scanner G250C. Scanned images were then imported into NimbleScan software (version 2.5) for expression data analysis. Differentially expressed LncRNAs were filtered out for further study.

Project description:Cellular quiescence is coupled with cellular development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression. Both quiescence and cell cycle re-entry are controlled by active and precise regulation of gene expression. However, the roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) during these processes remain to be elucidated. By performing a genome-wide transcriptome analyses, we identify thousands of differentially expressed lncRNAs, including ~30 of the less-characterized class of microRNA-host-gene lncRNAs (lnc-MIRHGs), during cellular quiescence and during serum-stimulation in human diploid cells. We observe that the mature MIR222HG display serum-stimulated induction due to enhanced pre-RNA splicing. Serum-stimulated binding of the pre-mRNA splicing factor SRSF1 to a micro-exon, which partially overlaps with the primary miR-222 precursor, facilitates enhanced MIR222HG splicing. In serum-stimulated cells, SRSF1 negatively regulates the Drosha/DGCR8-catalyzed cleavage of pri-miR-222, thereby increasing the cellular pool of the mature MIR222HG. Further, loss-of-function studies indicate that the mature MIR222HG facilitates the serum-stimulated cell cycle re-entry in a microRNA-independent manner. Mechanistically, MIR222HG, along with ILF3/2 complex, forms RNA:RNA duplex with DNM3OS lncRNA, thereby promoting DNM3OS stability. The current study identifies a mechanism in which the interplay between splicing versus microprocessor complex dictates the serum-induced expression of lnc-MIRHG MIR222HG for efficient cell cycle re-entry.
Project description:MicroRNA has a great potential in predicting survival of cancer patient. We used a genome-wide microRNA expression profiling to identify a miRNA signature for the prediction of clinical outcome of primary GBM patients. Total RNA obtained from 82 surgical specimens of primary glioblastoma multiform and 5 normal brain tissues from areas surrounding arteriovenous malformations (AVM) as control.
