Project description:Pancreatic tumors with small size can cause type3C Diabetes Mellitus (PCA-DM) but the mechanism is unknown. In this study we aimed at revealing the mRNA and long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) expression patterns of pancreatic tumors that triggered PCA-DM. Four pancreatic tumors from patients with PCA-DM (A1-A4), four pancreatic tumors from patients without PCA-DM (B1-B4), and four pancreatic tissues from patients with pancreatitis were individually profiled with Agilent microarrays(Arraystar Human LncRNA Array v3.0). Pancreatic tumors with PCA-DM or without PCA-DM, and pancreatic tissues of pancreatitis were individually profiled.

Project description:Genomic aberrations were determined by array-based comparative genomic hybridization in 131 diffuse astrocytic gliomas, including 87 primary glioblastomas (pGBIV), 13 secondary glioblastomas (sGBIV), 19 anaplastic astrocytomas (AAIII), and 12 diffuse astrocytomas (AII). Expression profiling was performed for 74 tumors (42 pGBIV, 11 sGBIV, 13 AAIII, 8 AII). 131 aCGH experiments. 87 EP experiments (x2 dye swap). DNA and RNA extracted from the same patients.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) comprise a diverse class of gene expression regulators with emerging roles in many biological processes including cancer. Here we show that the expression of the lncRNA Hedgehog Interacting Protein Antisense 1 (HHIP-AS1) is a hallmark feature of human SHH-driven tumors. Importantly, loss of HHIP-AS1 leads to reduced tumor growth in SHH-driven tumors in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate the power of cross-entity transcriptome-wide comparisons to identify novel epigenetic–regulatory lncRNA circuitries underlying human cancers.
Project description:Copy number assessment of chromosome 1 in astrocytic tumors using a chromosome 1 tile path array. Goal was to determine the patterns of chromosome 1 copy number alterations in astrocytic tumors. Keywords: Comparative Genomic Hybridization
