Project description:Lung tumors, as well as normal tumor-adjacent (NTA) tissue of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, were collected and subjected label-free quantitation shotgun proteomics in data-independent mode to identify differences between the tumors and adjacent tissue. By employing in-depth proteomics, we identified several pathways that are up- or downregulated in the tumors of non-small cell lung cancer patients.
Project description:Lung cancer, majorly divided into non-small cell lung cancer (80-85%) and small cell lung cancer (15-20%), is the leading cause of cancer death in USA. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is one of major subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer. Although genomic analysis of tumors from SSC patients have identified frequently mutated genes in these tumors, it’s still largely unknown which genes determine SCC development. Now we found that ablation of alone Lkb1 could induce SCC around 12 months of age. Therefore, transcriptome analysis of lung SCC of CCSPiCreLkb1f/f mice will help us understand how Lkb1 regulates the development of lung SCC.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is one of major subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer. Although genomic analysis of tumors from SSC patients have identified frequently mutated genes in these tumors, it’s still largely unknown which genes determine SCC development. Now we found that ablation of Lkb1 and Pten could induce SCC and ASC around 3 months of age. Therefore, transcriptome analysis of lung SCC and ASC of CCSPiCreLkb1f/f mice will help us understand how Lkb1 and Pten regulate the development of lung SCC and ASC.

Project description:Lung cancer remains the leading cause of mortality from malignant tumors, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases, and individualized diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an effective trend. In this study, a proteomics research with DIA mode and a non-targeted lipidomics research were developed in NSCLC patients with Qi deficiency and Yin deficiency (QDYD) and Qi deficiency of lung-spleen (QDLS) syndromes.
Project description:Gene expression was measured on the Affymetrix platform in primary xenografts, xenograft-derived cell lines, secondary xenografts, normal lung, and primary tumors obtained from chemotherapy naive Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). The SCLC primary xenografts were serially propagated in vivo in immunodeficient mice. Cell lines were derived from each xenograft and grown for 6 months using conventional tissue culture conditions. Secondary xenografts were obtained from cell cultures by re-implantation in immunodeficient mice. Such SCLC laboratory models were analyzed along with conventional SCLC cell lines and the derivative secondary xenografts, with normal lung and primary tumors, to assess irreversible gene expression changes induced by culturing conditions. Experiment Overall Design: SCLC primary xenografts were compared to the corresponding xenograft-derived cell lines, and to the secondary xenografts established from the cell lines using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. Gene expression from SCLC primary tumors was measured using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array. 3 datasets: GSM380476-GSM380512, GSM380513-GSM380516, and GSM380517-GSM380520
