Project description:1. Evaluate the diagnostic value of long noncoding RNA (CCAT1) expression by RT-PCR in peripheral blood in colorectal cancer patients versus normal healthy control personal.
2. Evaluate the clinical utility of detecting long noncoding RNA (CCAT1) expression in diagnosis of colorectal cancer patients & its relation to tumor staging.
3. Evaluate the clinical utility of detecting long noncoding RNA (CCAT1) expression in precancerous colorectal diseases.
4. Compare long noncoding RNA (CCAT1) expression with traditional marker; carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proved to play important roles in cancer biology. To understand their expression profile and potential functions in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), we investigated the lncRNA and mRNA expression in PTC and paired adjacent noncancerous thyroid tissues using microarray analysis.
Project description:We used NCode Human Long Non-coding RNA microarray to study differential expression of noncoding RNAs in tumor samples from patients with ovarian cancer. Normal ovarian tissue samples were used as controls.
Project description:Noncoding RNAs play important roles in various biological processes and diseases, including cancer. Expression profile of circular RNAs (circRNA) is largely unknown in lung adenocarcinoma. This study is designed to explore mRNA, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and circRNA in lung adenocarcinoma.
