Project description:We detected DNA methylation of a fibrosarcoma with ESCC sample and the corresponding normal sample to identify the aberrant DNA methylation status in this rare disease.
Project description:We detected the expression of miRNA in a fibrosarcoma with ESCC sample and the corresponding normal esophagus tissue. Then, we identified the differentially expressed miRNAs in this rare disease.
Project description:Fibrosarcoma cell lines were generated from wild-type and Tnfaip8 knockout mice. After stimulation with vehicle, LPA, or PDGF, RNAs were collected from the cells afterwards for RNA-Seq.
Project description:To understand the difference of protein expression between paired esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adjacent normal tissues, we collected 10 paired ESCC and normal tissues from surgical resected specimems for high-throughput proteomic experiments. From comparative analysis, the dysregulated signaling pathways in ESCC could be uncovered.
Project description:To discover ESCC related proteins, we used SWATH to quantify the protein abundance between ESCC and adjacent tissues. Briefly, we pooled 10 ESCCtissues and their corresponding adjacent tissues for SWATH acquisition with three replicates.Three DDA repeats were also acquired with the pooled 10-paired ESCC tissue.The trypsin digested peptide mixture was analyzed by AB SCIEX 5600 (AB SCIEX).The database searching procedure was achieved using ProteinPilot v4.5 (AB Sciex). The database is IPI_homo_sapiens_V3.87.
Project description:Mitochondrial homeostasis is important for cell metabolism, growth, proliferation, and immune responses. The critical regulator for mitochondrial homeostasis, Drp1 and TFAM are frequently abnormal expression in many cancers and is closely implicated in tumorigenesis. Here, we found that Drp1 high expression or TFAM low expression is correlated with poor overall survival of ESCC patients. However, the underling mechanism by Drp1 or TFAM influence tumor progression is largely unknown, especially in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). To investigate the underling mechanisms of Drp1 overexpression or TFAM deficiency-mediated ESCC progression, transcriptome profiling was performed by RNA sequencing analysis in ESCC cells with Drp1 overexpression or TFAM knockdown.
Project description:To define the role of MT1-MMP in the tumor progression, we suppressed its expression in human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080, using RNAi technique. The gene expression pattern was then compared betweent the two experimental cell groups with contrasting MT1-MMP expression level. Keywords: other
