ABSTRACT: The Urine RNA from 5 ovarian cancer and 5 healthy control were analyzed with the Human miRNA Microarray and then validated with a quantitative reverse-transcription PCR assay with 29 individual samples, 20 benign gynecological disease and 26 age/sex-matched healthy control. This study determines the clinical value of urine miRNAs as biomarker for epithelial ovarian cancer. Results: The miRNA microarray results demonstrate that the original 38 were identified that were significantly differentially expression in epithelial ovarian cancer compared with healthy control (P<0.01). A total of 1 miRNA was up-regulated in ovarian cancer, while 37 miRNA were down-regulated. the urine RNA from 5 ovarian cancer and 5 healthy women were analysised with Human mirRNA microarry
Project description:Mid-stream urine was collected from bladder cancer patients prior to surgery. Both tumor tissue and normal bladder mucosa that are located at >3cm away from the tumor edge were obtained by cystoscopy. For the normal controls with haematuria, urine samples were collected from patients who had normal cystoscopic finding and absence of malignancy with >6 months follow-up. All urine samples were centrifuged at 2500 r.c.f. for 20 minutes and the urine supernatant was collected. Total RNA of urine supernatant and frozen tissue was extracted using MirVanaTM PARISTM Kit (Ambion) in accordance with the manufacturerâs recommended protocols. AgilentTM Human miRNA Microarray Chip (Release 13.0, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used to determine the microRNA expression profiles of the samples.
Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease in children characterized by dermatitis and pruritus. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown as great potential biomarkers for disease fingerprints to predict prognostics. We aimed to identify miRNA signature from serum and urine for the prognosis of AD patient by genome-wide miRNA profiling analysis. Urine from 3 children with AD and 3 healthy children were collected
Project description:Objective was to identify urine cell-free microRNAs enabling early non-invasive detection of bladder cancer. Total RNA enriched for fraction of short RNAs was isolated using Urine microRNA purification kit (Norgen corp.). miRNA profiles were determined using the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 array and analyzed to identify differentially deregulated miRNA in bladder cancer patients compared with helathy controls.

Project description:Diagnosis of ovarian cancer at an early stage is the most important determinant of survival. Thus, there is a clear need for novel biomarkers to improve diagnostic and prognostics that may better inform on therapeutic strategies. We have conducted a discovery study using label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (LFQ) to identify potential biomarker candidates in urine from individual ovarian cancer patients. LFQ analyses identified 4394 proteins (16397 peptides) in urine samples (n=20), 23 of which were significantly elevated in the malignant patient group compared to patients with benign disease. To validate these changes, we used Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) to investigate their abundance in an independent cohort (n=20) of patient urine samples. Seven of the ten proteins were significantly enriched in the ovarian cancer patient samples; amongst these were established ovarian cancer markers WFDC2 (HE4) and Mesothelin (MSLN), validating our approach. This is the first application of a LFQ-PRM workflow to identify and validate ovarian cancer-specific biomarkers in urine samples.
Project description:Purpose : Identification of novel microRNA biomarkers in urine and plasma from rats with kidney or liver damage micoRNA-SEQ was used to analyze changes in miRNA profiles of tissue, plasma and urine samples of rats treated with either a nephrotoxicant (cisplatin) or one of two hepatotoxicants (Acetaminophen [APAP] or Carbon Tetrachloride [CCL4]).
Project description:Global microRNA expression profiling of serum were collected using Agilent miRNA microarrays (G4471A Human, Amadid 29297, Sanger 14) carrying 887 individual human miRNA probes. Two different sources of RNA were analyzed: serum from healthy controls (N=5) and patients with ovarian carcinoma (CA, n=5) Two conditions (CA, N), each condition is represented by 5 biological replicates

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in ovarian cancer cells with and without overexpression of the miRNA mir-124 which will provide data about genes possibly directly regulated by miR-124. Also, analysis of gene expression in ovarian cancer cells with and without knockdown of the homeodomain transcription factor SIX4 (a target of miR-124) which will provide data about genes possibly directly regulated by SIX4 Total RNA was isolated from PEO4 cells transfected with miRNA mimic negative control (miNC), miR-124 mimic, siRNA negative control (siNC) oligo, or siRNA targeting the SIX4 gene (siSIX4) 72 hours post-transfection
