Project description:P53 mutation is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of colon cancer. In this project, we did crotonylomics sequencing by using human colon cancer homologous cell line pair-HCT116+/+(with wild type p53) and HCT116-/- (with null p53). Crotonylomics sequencing results showed that p53 deficiency regulated crotonylation of non-histone proteins.
Project description:Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer worldwide. In this study, we obtained RNA-sequencing data from 61 lung cancer samples. We hope that this data can improve the understanding of this disease.
Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality and early detection is the key to improve survival. However, there are no reliable blood-based tests currently available for early-stage lung cancer diagnosis. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of early-stage lung cancer and found lipid metabolism was broadly dysregulated in different cell types and glycerophospholipid metabolism is the most significantly altered lipid metabolism-related pathway. Untargeted lipidomics were detected in an exploratory cohort of 311 participants. Through support vector machine algorithm-based and mass spectrum-based feature selection, we have identified nine lipids as the most important detection features and developed a LC-MS-based targeted assay utilizing multiple reaction monitoring. This target assay achieved 100.00% specificity on an independent validation cohort. In a hospital-based lung cancer screening cohort of 1036 participants examined by low dose CT and a prospective clinical cohort containing 109 participants, this assay reached over 90.00% sensitivity and 92.00% specificity. Accordingly, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging assay confirmed the selected lipids were differentially expressed in early-stage lung cancer tissues in situ. Thus, this method, designated as Lung Cancer Artificial Intelligence Detector (LCAID), may be used for early detection of lung cancer or large-scale screening of high-risk populations in cancer prevention.
Project description:RNA and miRNA sequencing of lung tumors induced by transgenic overexpression of the type-I insulin like growth factor receptor was carried out to examine the molecular changes associated with lung tumorigenesis and explore potential similarities with a collection of mouse lung cancer models and human non-small cell lung cancer.
Project description:To identify aberrant splicing isoforms and potential neoantigens, we performed full-length cDNA sequencing of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines using a long-read sequencer MinION. We constructed a comprehensive catalog of aberrant splicing isoforms and detected isoform-specific peptides using proteome analysis.
Project description:Crotonylation is a crotonyl-coenzyme A (CoA)-mediated post-translational modification best known for its roles in epigenetic regulation. Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) has been reported to be involved in tumor-related biological functions such as DNA damage repair and immune infiltration. Here we find that abnormal reduction of histone Kcr significantly correlates with a poor response to epithelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in in-house-established drug-resistant models of lung cancer cell lines, and in cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The crotonyl-CoA-producing enzyme ACSS2 is the key regulator of the resistance-related change of crotonylation. Quantitative crotonylomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses reveal that EGFR-TKI resistance is accompanied by reduced levels of histone 3 lysine 56 crotonylation (H3K56cr) on chromatin, which inhibits transcription of HNF1A and activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Studies of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and resistant lung cancer CDX and PDX models treated with a novel histone decrotonylase (HDCR) inhibitor, S67, demonstrate that up-regulation of H3K56cr sensitizes cells to the effect of EGFR-TKIs. These findings uncover the role of histone Kcr in resistance to EGFR-TKIs and suggest a new combination therapy in lung cancer.
