ABSTRACT: To examined the genome-wide expression levels of lncRNAs in androgenic alopecia tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues by microarray analysis. We identified numerous lncRNAs that were differentially regulated between androgenic alopecia and paired normal tissues. Collected 3 pairs of male scalp androgenic alopecia tissues and adjacent normal tissues, then extracted mRNAs from the tissues and transcripted the mRNAs into cRNAs. Then, cRNAs were hybridized onto the Human LncRNA Expression Microarrays. And then analyzed the results.

Project description:In order to understand the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their interaction with coding RNAs in esophageal sqaumous cell cancer (ESCC), we performed genome-wide screening of the expression of lncRNAs and coding RNAs from primary ESCC tissue and adjacent normal tissue using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Microarray. By comparing ESCC tissues and matched normal tissues, differentially expressed lncRNAs and coding RNAs were identified and confirmed with PCR and other independent studies. We further identified a subset of co-located and co-expressed lncRNAs and coding RNAs using bioinformatic tools and the analysis suggested that a subset of lncRNAs may influence nearby genes involved in the genesis of ESCC. Four pairs of ESCC primary tumors and adjacent normal tissues were used for genome-scale microarray experiments, which included long noncoding RNAs and coding RNAs. Selected lncRNAs expressed in the experiment were validated on independent matched-pair samples with PCR method.
Project description:To identify which lncRNAs are differentially expressed in prostate cancer, the total RNA from prostate cancer cell lines (PC3, LNCaP), normal epithelial prostatic cells and the pool of 10 prostate tumor tissues and 10 adjacent normal prostate tissues were screened using SurePrint G3 human lncRNA microarrays (Agilent). The SurePrint G3 Human Gene array contains 16,472 lincRNAs and 34,127 mRNA genes. Gene expression in prostate cell lines and pooled tissue samples was measured. Three independent experiments (biological replicates) for cell lines (epithelial cells, PC3 and LNCap) and two independent experiments (technical replicates) for pooled prostate tissues (tumor and adjacent normal) samples were performed.
Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are an important class if pervasive genes involved in a variety of biological functions. LncRNAs have been recently implicated as having oncogenic and tumor suppressor roles. To further investigate the function of lncRNA in gastric cancer, we use lncRNA microarray to describe LncRNAs profiles in 6 pairs of human gastric adenocarcinoma and the corresponding adjacent nontumorous tissues. The experimental samples are divided into two groups(normal and tumor) to compare lncRNA expression profiling of those
Project description:To explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 3 pairs of human HCC and adjacent normal tissue (NT) by microarray. With abundant probes accounting for 33,045 lncRNAs and 30,215 coding transcripts in our microarray, the number of lncRNAs and coding transcripts that could be detected here is 10,149 and 14,944, respectively. From the data, thousands of lncRNAs and mRNAs were found to bedifferentially expressed (Fold Change≥2.0) in HCC tissues compared with NT and identified 624 lncRNAs and 1050 mRNAs were differentially expressed in all three HCC tissues.Bioinformatic analysis (gene ontology, pathway and network analysis) was performed for further study of these differentially expressed mRNAs.By qRT-PCR analysis in nineteen pairs HCC and adjacent normal tissues, we found that eightl ncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in HCC compared with corresponding NT, which is consistent with microarray data. Additionally, change trends of seven lncRNAs were basically identical to their nearby coding genes. In this study, to explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 3 pairs of human HCC and adjacent normal tissue (NT) by microarray.
Project description:In this report, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the expression of ~17000 lncRNAs on 60 colonic samplesin colon tissues from patients with IBD, irritable bowel syndrome, infectious colitis and healthy controls. We also explored the possibility of using cRNAs as biomarkers distinguish active UC from normal. To investigate the mechanism offunctional role these IBD-associated lncRNAs in the development of IBD, we then focused on a ncRNA highlyexpressed in the UC-associated lncRNAactive UC, BC012900. We , to characterized its cellular localization, expression regulation and biological function. We . We found that BC012900 and its adjacent gene, dual specificity phosphatase 4 (DUSP4) are functionally distinct, with BC012900 modulating. Overexpression of BC012900 resulted in usceptibility to apoptosis. Our study provides the first evidence that lncRNAs may play potential roles in development and persistence of active UC.
Project description:Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pervasively transcribed and play a key role in tumorigenesis. The aim of the present study was to determine the lncRNA expression profile in astrocytoma patients and to assess the potential clinical value of the findings. Methods: The global lncRNA expression profile in astrocytoma was measured by lncRNA microarray. Next, the differentially expressed lncRNAs were validated using a Taqman probe-based quantitative real time-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay in 130 astrocytoma and 60 normal adjacent tissue (NAT) samples, which were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. Finally, the correlation of the lncRNA levels with survival of the astrocytoma patients was estimated by performing a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and a univariate/multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Results: After a two-phase selection and validation process, 7 lncRNAs were found to have a significantly different expression profile in astrocytoma samples compared to the NAT samples. Unsupervised clustering analysis further revealed the potential of the 7-lncRNA profile to differentiate between tumors and NAT samples. Using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, we found that the low expression of XLOC_005285 and XLOC_010967 and the high expression of HIT000260843.11 were significantly associated with poor patient survival. Moreover, Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that this prognostic impact was independent of other clinicopathological factors. The lncRNA expression profiles of 3 astrocytoma tissues and 3 normal adjacent tissues were studied by microarray.
Project description:Recent large-scale transcriptome analyses have yielded large numbers of transcripts, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) which were found aberrant in various diseases, especially in cancers. But few lncRNAs that may be involved in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) haven't yet been reported.So we aimed to reveal the expression pattern of lncRNAs in 5 paired RCC tumor samples and the matched adjacent normal tissues by microarray.
