Project description:To understanding the miRNA expression profiling of cancer stem cells of laryngeal squamous carcinoma, the total RNA of CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells (isolated from LSCC cell line TU-177, named TDP), CD133-CD44- cells (TDN) and parental TU-177 (unsorted TU-177 cells, named TPT) was extracted, followed by miRNA sequencing. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified.
Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms and gene expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) may explain its aggressive biological behavior and regional metastasis pathways. Better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying LSCC metastasis and the search for possible molecular targets seems promising. Interpreting the links between the differentially expressed genes in advanced stages can lead to a search for predictive markers that can also help determine the possible treatment routes. We designed this study to detect possible genetic alterations in a homogeneous group of patients with locoregionally advanced laryngeal cancer who underwent total laryngectomy and neck dissection. Patients with and without lymph node metastasis were selected to examine the differential gene expression in the normal mucosa, tumor, and lymph node tissues of each patient. Our main purpose was to identify the possible commonly expressed genes in this homogenous group of Turkish patients with locoregionally advanced laryngeal cancer. Second, we aimed to determine the predictive role of these genes in lymph node metastasis and overall prognosis.

Project description:Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the miRNAs basis of tumorigenesis in LSCC, and analyze the physiological processes of target genes predicted by the screened miRNAs that may be useful for the effective therapeutic strategies. Methods: A total number of 6 patients who underwent surgery for primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were recruited for miRNA array analysis. LSCC tissues compared with corresponding adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were analysed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array 3.0 to screen effective miRNAs, then TargetScan,PITA and microRNAorg were used for target gene prediction in GeneSpring 12.5 software.Moreover, pathway-based methods were adopted to analyse physiological processes of the target genes. The screened miRNAs and the significant target genes were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 36 patients diagnosed for LSCC. Results: Analysed by the miRNAs arrays, there were seven miRNAs (hsa-miR-224, hsa-miR-183, hsa-miR-23a, hsa-miR-675, hsa-miR-27a, hsa-miR-503 and hsa-miR-4800-3p) significantly related to tumorigenesis ,and all the screened miRNAs in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05). The expressions of these miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR. Then analysed by GeneSpring 12.5 software, there were 72 putative target genes corresponding to the seven significant miRNAs. Moreover,analysed by String database,the result indicated that most target genes could be composed of gene networks; Analysed by GO database, we observed that these target genes were involved in processes such as metabolic process, biological regulation,membrane,protein binding,ion binding and so on (P <0.05); Analysed by KEGG pathways database, MAPK signaling pathway, adherens junction and pathways in cancer played especially important role in tumorigenesis of LSCC (P<0.05). As the two important genes in MAPK signaling pathway which plays pivotal roles in tumorigenesis, FGF2 and MAP2K4 were validated by qRT-PCR, and they were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05). Conclusions: The research revealed seven miRNAs expression signature(hsa-miR-224, hsa-miR-183, hsa-miR-23a, hsa-miR-675, hsa-miR-27a, hsa-miR-503 and hsa-miR-4800-3p) of tumorigenesis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma,and analysed the physiological processes of the predicted target genes regulated by screened miRNAs in LSCC. The result will contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis of LSCC and help to improve the treatment.

Project description:Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common type in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and the development of LSCC are multistep processes accompanied by changes of molecular biology. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the miRNAs basis of tumorigenesis in LSCC, and analyze the microRNAs dysregulation related with the six targeted genes (CDK1,CDK2, CDK4, MCM2, MCM3, MCM4) which were related to tumorigenesis from the screened miRNAs. Methods: A total number of 5 patients who underwent surgery for primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were recruited for miRNA array analysis. LSCC tissues compared with corresponding adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were analysed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array 3.0 to screen effective miRNAs, then mirfocus 3.0 database (http://mirfocus.org/index.php) was adopted to select putative regulated miRNAs of the six targeted genes. Moreover, the selected putative regulated miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 36 patients diagnosed for LSCC. Results: Analysed by the miRNAs arrays, there were 127 miRNAs significantly related to tumorigenesis ,and 78 showed a higher expression in tumor than in non-tumor tissue while 49 presented the contrasting pattern(P<0.01).Then analyzed by mirfocus 3.0 database, there were 2 putative regulated miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p and hsa-miR-183-5p, corresponding to three of the six targeted genes. Among the 2 putative miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p regulated MCM4,CDK1 and CDK4,while hsa-miR-183-5p regulated MCM4 only. Another miRNA we should focus on is hsa-miR-30a-5p, a tumor-suppressive factor, which was down-expressed obviously analysed by the miRNAs arrays. The expression of the 3 putative regulated miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 36 patients (P<0.05). Conclusions: The research revealed 127 miRNAs expression signature of tumorigenesis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma,and analyzed 3 putative regulated miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-183-5p and hsa-miR-30a-5p, as potential diagnostic and therapeutic markers in LSCC. The result will contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis of LSCC and help to improve the treatment.

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.
