Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs), non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression, are frequently aberrantly expressed in human cancers. Next-generation deep sequencing technology enables genome-wide expression profiling of known miRNAs and discovery of novel miRNAs at unprecedented quantitative and qualitative accuracy. Deep sequencing was performed on 22 fresh frozen clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), 11 non-tumoral renal cortex (NRC) samples and 2 ccRCC cell lines (n=35). The 22 ccRCCs patients belonged to 3 prognostic sub-groups, i.e. Those without disease recurrence, with recurrence and with metastatic disease at diagnosis Deep sequencing was performed on 22 fresh frozen clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), 11 non-tumoral renal cortex (NRC) samples and 2 ccRCC cell lines (n=35). The 22 ccRCCs patients belonged to 3 prognostic sub-groups, i.e. Those without disease recurrence, with recurrence and with metastatic disease at diagnosis.

Project description:Aberrant DNA methylation is common in cancer. To associate DNA methylation with gene function, we performed RNAseq upon tumor tissue and matched normal tissues of two ccRCC (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) patients. To quantify 5mC and 5hmC level in each CG site at genome-wide level, we performed BS-seq and TAB-seq upon tumor tissue and matched normal tissues of two ccRCC (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) patients, respectively. mRNA profiles of tumor and matched normal tissues from two ccRCC patients were generated by deep sequencing, using Hiseq 2000. Single-nucleotide-resolution, whole-genome, 5mC and 5hmC profiles of tumor and matched normal tissues from two ccRCC (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) patients were generated by deep sequencing, using Hiseq 2000.
Project description:We performed a microRNA (miRNA) microarray on 10 metastatic RCC tumors and compared differential miRNA expresison to 19 primary clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). We found there were 65 significantly dysregulated miRNAs; 9 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 56 miRNAs were significantly downregulated in metastatic RCC when compared to primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Project description:Despite numerous studies reporting deregulated microRNA (miRNA) and gene expression patterns in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), no direct comparisons have been made to its presumed normal counterpart; the renal proximal epithelial tubular cells (PTEC). The aim of this study was to determine the miRNA expression profiles of ten clear cell renal cell carcinoma-derived cell lines and short-term cultures of PTEC, and to correlate these with their gene expression, and copy-number profiles. Using microarray-based methods, a significantly altered expression level in ccRCC cell lines was observed for 23 miRNAs and 1630 genes. The set of miRNAs with significantly decreased expression levels include all members of the miR-200 family known to be involved in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Expression levels of 13 of the 47 validated target genes for the downregulated miRNAs were increased more than two-fold. Our data reinforce the importance of the EMT process in the development of ccRCC. For mRNA expression data of these cell lines see GEO Series accession number GSE20491. MicroRNA profiling was performed on two proximal tubular epithelial cell samples (both cell samples were hybridized twice (biological duplicates)) and ten clear cell renal cell carcinoma- derived cell lines (one of which; RCC-JF in duplicate)
Project description:We report the application of chromatin immunoprecipitation and next generation sequencing technology for HIF1a binding sites at genome wide level in a RCC (renal cell carcinoma) cell line under hypoxia conditions. We found HIF1a binding sites in Caki-2 cell line under hypoxia conditions. Especially, we found HIF1a bind to SPOP under hypoxia condition, which was further validated. Examination of HIF1a binding sites in Caki-2 cell line under hypoxia condition
