Project description:Lung cancer in Chinese patients has distinct genomic features and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) has limited biomarkers for targeted therapy even though a lot of progress has been made in genomics research. Systematical research on LUSC at protein level will be beneficial to improve precision medicine. In this study, the large scale proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis on clinical Chinese LUSC patients were performed.
Project description:Our study is the first transcriptome profiling of Chinese NPC patients. These results provide both molecular basis and therapeutic opportunities for Chinese NPC patients. mRNA profiles of 42 Chinese Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma patients and 4 non-NPC tissues by Illumina Hiseq 2000.
Project description:Discovery of novel diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers of lung squamous cell carcinoma based on a whole transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Transcriptomic profiles of 12 available samples, out of 87 recruited patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were generated using Ion Proton system.
Project description:Purpose: To gain molecular insights of HBV integration that may contribute to HCC tumorigenesis, we performed whole transcriptome sequencing and whole genome copy number profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples from 50 Chinese patients. Conclusions: This is the first report on the molecular basis of the MLL4 integration driving MLL4 over-expression. HBV-MLL4 integration occurred frequently in Chinese HCC patients, representing a unique molecular segment for HCC with HBV infection. We profiled 50 Chinese Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients and 14 adjacent tissues using Agilent 244K array CGH technology. 50 Tumor samples also did RNASeq profiling.
Project description:To further understand the expression pattern of long non-coding RNAs in early stage lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), we have employed the Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray V3.0 profiling as a discovery platform to identify lncRNAs which are differentially expressed in early stage lung SCC. Three pairs of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues of early stage lung SCC patients are used for microarray analysis.
Project description:To identify gene expression biomarkers associate with asbestos-related lung squamous cell carcinoma, we analyzed gene expression profiles for a total of 56 lung squamous cell carcinomas using 44K Illumina Gene Expression microarrays. Twenty-six cases had lung asbestos body counts above levels associated with urban dwelling (ARLC-SCC: asbestos-related lung cancer-squamous cell carcinoma) and 30 cases had no lung asbestos bodies (NARLC-SCC: non-asbestos related lung cancer- squamous cell carcinoma). Genes differentially expressed between ARLC-SCC and NARLC-SCC were identified on fold change and P-value, and then prioritised using gene ontology. Total RNA was obtained from fresh frozen lung tumour tissue and stratified by asbestos phenotype. Gene expression profiling was performed to identify differences in the gene profiles of asbestos-related and non-asbestos related lung squamous cell carcinomas.
Project description:The tumor microenvironment strongly influences cancer development, progression and metastasis. The role of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in these processes and their clinical impact has not been studied systematically in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We established primary cultures of CAFs and matched normal fibroblasts (NFs) from 15 resected NSCLC. We demonstrate that CAFs have greater ability than NFs to enhance the tumorigenicity of lung cancer cell lines. Microarray gene expression analysis of the 15 matched CAF and NF cell lines identified 46 differentially expressed genes, encoding for proteins that are significantly enriched for extracellular proteins regulated by the TGF-beta signaling pathway. We have identified a subset of 11 genes that formed a prognostic gene expression signature, which was validated in multiple independent NSCLC microarray datasets. Functional annotation using protein-protein interaction analyses of these and published cancer stroma-associated gene expression changes revealed prominent involvement of the focal adhesion and MAPK signalling pathways. Fourteen (30%) of the 46 genes also were differentially expressed in laser-capture micro-dissected corresponding primary tumor stroma compared to the matched normal lung. Six of these 14 genes could be induced by TGF-beta1 in NF. The results establish the prognostic impact of CAF-associated gene expression changes in NSCLC patients.
