Project description:To identify aberrantly expressed long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) in bladder cancer tissues compared with normal adjacent tissues, we have employed microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify lincRNAs that may play important roles in bladder cancer origin and progression. Samples of fresh frozen cancer tissues, together with normal adjacent tissues (3 cm away from the tumor), were obtained during surgical resection, and total RNA was extracted for microarray analysis. Expression of six mRNAs and lincRNAs (E2F1, CCNE2, CCNB1, lincRNA:chr1:205404014-205407007, lincRNA:chr7:130723313-130727663, lincRNA:chr4:15669186-15683175) from this signature was quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR, confirming good quality of the microarray analysis. Data in the matrix are log2 transformed. Three pairs of fresh frozen bladder cancer tissues and corresponding normal adjacent tissues were used in the microarray analysis.
Project description:miRNAs are involved in cancer development and progression,acting as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Half of the human miRNAs are located in cancer-associated genomic regions and can function as tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes depending on their targets miRNA profiling was performed on paired bladder cancer tissues and differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in BC and adjacent noncancerous tissues of any disease stage/grade. Ten paired bladder cancer tissues (5 low-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer[NMIBC] and 5 high-grade muscle-invasive bladder cancer[MIBC]) were sent to CapitalBio Corp. (Beijing) for noncoding RNA microarray analysis. The microarray analysis was done as described on the Web site of CapitalBio. NMIBC samples include 07A, 19A, 23A, 24A and T63 while coresponding pairs include 07B, 19B, 23B, 24B and 63. MIBC samples include 10A, 20A, 21A, 34A and 49A while coresponding pairs include 10B, 20B, 21B, 34B and 49B.

Project description:In the development and progression of bladder cancer, there are many genetic changes. We established a SD rat orthotopic bladder cancer model through intravesical instillation of N-methyl-nitrosourea and pathologic diagnosis is bladder transtional cell carcinomal (BTCC). We used microarrays to analysis the gene expression changes among these rat bladder carcinoma, adjacent normal tissues and bladder tissues of normal rats.

We used microarrays to analysis the gene expression changes among these rat bladder carcinoma, adjacent normal tissues and bladder tissues of normal rats. Three paired tumor tissues (Group A) and adjacent normal tissues (Group B) were obtained from 3 SD rats with BTCC, and 3 normal tissues (Group C) obtained from 3 normal SD rats. Affymetrix microarrays analyzed the gene expression changes among above 3 groups of tissues.
Project description:In order to find out circular RNAs profiles in human bladder cancer tissues and normal bladder tissues, we characterized circuclar RNA transcripts by performing RNA-Seq on ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNA from three pairs of human bladder cancer tissues and paired normal bladder tissues.A computational pipeline based on the anchor alignment of unmapped reads was used to identify circular RNAs. Collectively, we identified16,535 distict circular RNAs, most of them origined from exons (88.96%), others from introns, linc RNA, intergenic region, 3’UTR and 5’UTR. Among all these circRNAs, 571 circRNAs were differentially expressed between bladder cancer tissues and normal bladder tissues, and 524 circRNAs were downregulated in bladder cancer tissues (91.2%), others were upreguluated. These significantly differential expressed circular RNA might have regulatory function in bladder cancer, and worth to be further explored.
