Project description:The autoantibodies in serum (IgG antibody labeled with Cy3 and IgM antibody labeled with Cy5) were quantified by serum incubation human protein microarray, and the data of normal people and lung cancer patients were compared to find the predictive markers of autoantibodies in lung cancer
Project description:microRNAs are small, non-coding, single-stranded RNAs between 18-22 nucleotides long that regulate gene expression. Expression of microRNAs is altered in tumor compared to normal tissue; there is some evidence that these changes may be reflected in the serum of cancer cases compared to healthy individuals. Several case-control studies have found evidence of differential levels of serum miRNAs in early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients but with little consensus on specific miRNAs. Similarly, it is unclear whether miRNAs that show differential levels in tumors are the same miRNAs that are found in serum, and whether surgical resection of tumors leads to normalization of serum miRNA levels in cases. We used Affymetrix arrays to examine serum miRNA expression profiles in a small series of surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer cases to investigate circulating levels of miRNAs.
Project description:Using the highly sensitive miRNA array, we determined the serum miRNAs profiles of 10 non-smokers, 10 smokers and 10 lung cancer patients by miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Arrays. Differential expressed miRNAs were further validated in a larger scale samples. We found that let-7i-3p and miR-154-5p were significantly downregulation in serum of smokers and lung cancer patients. The serum level of let-7i-3p and miR-154-5p is associated with smoking and smoking-related lung cancer. In this study, we mix 10 samples with equal volume of each group(non-smoking control group,smoking group and lung cancer group ) and run RNA extractions. And then miRCURYTM LNA Array (v.16.0) was applied in the studying of miRNA expression profile and its alteration to gain the miRNA expression profile to compare the variety between each two groups respectively.
