Project description:In cancer management, early and accurate diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is important for enhancing survival rate of patients. Currently, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the only one biomarker for detection of HCC. However, serum AFP is not satisfactory for diagnosis of HCC due to its low accuracy (about 60-70%). In this study, we collected 109 serum samples (discovery set) from healthy control (HC) and patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC) and HCC, and analyzed them with custom lncRNA microarray. Profiling analysis shows 181 differentially expressed lncRNAs between HCs and patients with CHB, LC and HCC. Then a 48-lncRNA diagnostic signature was identified with 100% predictive accuracy for all subjects in the discovery set. This diagnostic signature was verified with a cross-validation analysis in the discovery set. To further corroborate the signature, we gathered another 66 serum samples (validation set) and also analyzed them with microarray. The result indicates that the same signature has similar diagnostic accuracy for HC (100%), CHB (73%), LC (88%) and HCC (95%), implying a reproducible diagnostic biomarker for HCC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis exhibits that this signature has significantly higher diagnostic accuracy for HCC and non-cancerous subjects (area under curve [AUC]: 0.994) than AFP (AUC: 0.773) in the discovery set and this was also verified in the validation set (0.964 vs 0.792). More importantly, the signature detected small HCC (<3cm) with 100% (13/13) accuracy while AFP with only 61.5% (8/13). Altogether, this study demonstrates that the serum 48-lncRNA signature is not only a powerful and sensitive biomarker for diagnosis of HCC but also a potential biomarker for LC. ***************************************************************** Submitter declares these data are subject to patent number ZL 2016 1 0397094. *****************************************************************

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and is the one of the few cancers in which a continued increase in incidence has been observed over several years. HCC associated with chronic liver disease evolves from precancerous lesion and early HCC to overt cancer, and identifying key molecules contributing to early stage HCC is an urgent need. α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is the best serum biomarker for diagnosis of HCC, but sensitivity is low, particularly in detection of early-stage HCC. Therefore, novel and reliable diagnostic biomarkers to complement AFP are needed to improve HCC diagnosis. We aim to determine transcriptome-based molecular signature of multistep hepatocarcinogenesis, and to identify novel serum biomarkers to diagnose early stage HCC patient.

Project description:To develop diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, we compared methylation profiles of HCC tissues and normal blood by analyzing 485,000 CpG markers and identified a HCC enriched methylation marker panel compared to that of normal blood. We found there was a highly correlation of methylation profiles between DNA from HCC cancer tissue and matched plasma ctDNA within the same patient. We then selected 10 markers from this panel and created a combined diagnosis score (cd-score) which showed high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity in both a training cohort and an independent validation cohort. We also showed the cd-score correlate highly with tumor load, treatment response and stage and is superior to that by AFP. We also showed the cd-score correlate highly with tumor load, treatment response and stage and is superior to that by AFP. Additional, we generated 8 markers from unicox and LASSO-cox analysis and created a combined prognosis score (cp-score) which could predict prognosis and survival. Together, these findings demonstrated the utility of ctDNA methylation markers in the diagnosis, treatment evaluation and prognosis of HCC.

Project description:The routine study of human malaria liver-stage biology in vitro is hampered by low infection efficiency of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lines (<0.1%), poor understanding of steady-state HCC biology, and lack of appropriate tools for trace sample analysis. HC-04 is the only HCC that supports complete development of human malaria parasites. We hypothesized that HCCs are in various intermediate stages of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and HC-04s retain epithelial characteristics that permit infection. We developed an novel analytical approach to test this hypothesis viz. the HC-04 response to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). We used online two-dimensional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS/MS) to quantify protein expression profiles in HC-04 pre-/post-HGF treatment and validated these results by RT-qPCR and microscopy. We successfully increased protein identification efficiency over offline-2D methods by 12-fold using less sample material, allowing robust protein quantification. We observed expected up-regulation and down-regulation of EMT protein markers in response to HGF, but also unexpected cellular responses. HC-04 is thus susceptible to HGF-mediated signaling but to a lesser degree than what we observed for HepG2, a widely used, but poor malaria HCC model. Our analytical approach to understanding the basic biology of HC-04 helps us understand the factors that may influence its utility as a model for malaria liver-stage development. We observed that HC-04 treatment with HGF prior to the addition of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites did not facilitate cell invasion, arguing for unlinking the effect of HGF on malaria liver stage development from hepatocyte invasion. Finally, our 2D-LC-MS/MS approach and broadly applicable experimental strategy should prove useful in the analysis of various hepatocyte-pathogen interactions, tumor progression and early disease events.

Project description:Purpose: Exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) are potential diagnostic biomarkers. However, little is known about their effectiveness as diagnostic biomarkers of fulminant myocarditis (FM). This study aimed to explore miRNA levels in serum exosomes of patients with FM as potential biomarkers for FM diagnosis. Methods: 10 samples were screened with a exosomal small RNA sequencing platform (RiboBio). A Mann-Whitney test was performed to discover differentially expressed miRNAs in the two pairwise comparisons: FM versus HC. Results: From the differentially expressed miRNAs, fourteen candidate miRNAs discovered via small RNA sequencing with P＜0.05 and fold expression change ＞2 were selected for further testing Conclusions: These data suggested that the miRNA panel in serum-derived exosomes provided excellent diagnostic capability for FM.

Project description:Background: The pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-caused hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is complex and not fully understood. In clinical, the effective prevention and treatment of HCC rely on the accurate diagnosis. We developed a biology network approach to investigate the potential mechanisms and biomarkers of each stages from HBV infection to HCC. Methods Global gene profiling of healthy individuals (HC), HBV carriers (HBVC), chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC) and HCC was analyzed by gene array. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) were found by RVM (Random variance model) corrective ANOVA and STC (Series Test of Cluster) analysis.

Project description:The diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) is often difficult to distinguish from adenovirus (HAdV) and Group A streptococcal disease (GAS). We sought to: 1) to define the KD transcriptional signature that can aid in the diagnosis of complete and incomplete KD in children; 2) to identify specific biomarkers that objectively discriminate between KD and other mimicking conditions, including HAdV and 3) to test the prognostic utility of GEP to determine response to IVIG therapy and development of coronary artery lesions (CAL). Methods: Blood RNA samples were analyzed from 76 pediatric patients with complete KD, 13 with incomplete KD, 19 patients with HAdV, 17 patients with GAS disease, and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). We used class comparisons (MW p< 0.01, Benjamini-Hochberg, and 1.25 fold change filter), class prediction, modular analysis and MDTH analyses to define the specificity of the KD profiles and identify markers of severity. Results: Statistical group comparisons identified 7,899 genes differentially expressed in 39 complete KD patients versus HC (KD biosignature). This signature was validated in another 37 patients with complete KD and in 13 patients with incomplete KD. Modular analysis in children with complete KD demonstrated overexpression of inflammation, neutrophils, myeloid cell, coagulation cascade, and cell cycle genes. The KNN class prediction algorithm identified 25-classifier genes that differentiated children with KD vs HAdV infection in two independent cohorts of patients with 96% (95% CI [80%-99%]) sensitivity and 95% [74%-99%] specificity. MDTH scores in KD patients significantly correlated with the baseline c-reactive protein (R=0.29, p=0.008) and was four fold higher than in children with HAdV (p<0.01). In addition, KD patients that remained febrile 36 hours after treatment with IVIG (non-responders) demonstrated higher baseline, pre-treatment MDTH values compared with responders [12,290 vs. 5,572 respectively; p=0.009]. Conclusion: Transcriptional signatures can be used as a tool to discriminate between KD and HAdV infection, and may also provide prognostic information. 113 samples, no replicates, 9 HAdV, 57 cKD, 12 FUO, 13 GAS, 3 GAS/SF, 5 inKD, 14 healthy control

Project description:Tears are a biological fluid that has diagnostic potential for ocular diseases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), wildly detected in various biofluids including tears, are nanoparticles released by living cells and considered as promising detection sources for non-invasive liquid biopsy. Understanding the roles of tears and tear-EVs in ocular diseases such as dry eye can facilitate the studies of clinical diagnosis, which usually entails detecting such liquid objects with a rapid and effective method. In this study, we utilized a mass spectrometry based strategy to analyze peptidome/proteome profiles of tear and EVs for rapid dry eye diagnosis. Nano-sized EVs were isolated from tears of either healthy control (HC) individuals or dry eye syndrome (DES) patients, and the tear compositions were further analyzed by tracking their fingerprints with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The fingerprints of tear-EVs could be observed in a dose-dependent manner as well as tears, allowing comparing their discriminant peaks between tears and EVs. By analyzing these peaks, the fingerprints of both tear and tear-EVs were showed to have a capability of distinguishing DES patients from HC donors, and providing an efficient way for screening potential DES biomarkers. The proposed tear and EV fingerprinting approach is expected to be a potential tool in rapid diagnosis of ocular disease and in-depth researches of pathogenesis.
