Project description:There are significant differences in the expression of genes that regulate metabolic pathways in HCC as compared to Cirrhosis or non-tumor liver tissues. These charcteristic pathways can be exploited for metabolic imaging biomarkers of HCC. We used microarrays to perform genome-wide association study expression in human Grade III hepatocellular carcinoma and surrounding tissues.
Project description:We analyzed the proteome of tumor and matched non-tumor biopsies from 51 treatment-naive Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients by DIA (SWATH). Thereby we aim to find subgroups of patients characterized by specific pathway activation. Furthermore, we aim to find novel factors involved in HCC development and novel biomarkers.
Project description:Tumor samples and matching healthy tissue from 23 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and one hepatocellular adenoma patient were collected after surgical resection. Total RNA was harvested and sequenced with a strand-specific single-end RNA-seq protocol.
Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in metastatic foci of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. We identified metastasis-related miRNAs in recurrent cases after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methods: We performed a comprehensive analysis of primary HCC (T), noncancerous liver (N), and resected recurrent (metastatic) HCC (M) using microarray analyses to identify metastasis-related miRNAs in in three patients with post-transplant recurrence. The RNA samples from three cases that underwent resection of recurrences after LDLT were made available for miRNA microarray analysis. The three cases included a 57-year-old man (case 1) with peritoneal recurrence and infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV), and a 48-year-old woman (case 2) and a 51-year-old man (case 3) with lung recurrences and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Microarray analysis was performed for each RNA sample from the (T), (N) in the explanted liver, and (M). A sample containing equal amounts of RNAs from histologically normal livers of three living donors (NL: normal liver) was analyzed as a control.

Project description:We analyzed the phospho-proteome of tumor and matched non-tumor biopsies from 51 treatment-naive Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients by label-free DDA. Thereby we aim to find subgroups of patients characterized by specific pathway activation. Furthermore, we aim to find novel factors involved in HCC development and novel biomarkers.
