Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of irradiated and non-irradiated breast tumor samples and normal control tissue. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip, Genome Build 36 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in breast tumor samples. Samples included 20 non-irradiated tumor samples, 19 irradiated tumor samples and 9 normal controls.

Bisulphite converted DNA from the 48 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2
Project description:Breast tissue normal. BC-N denotes non-tumor breast tissue samples from breast cancer patients, BC-NRm denotes normal breast tissue samples from reduction mammoplasties.
Project description:Analysis of whole transcriptome gene expression in 6 groups of liver samples in mice: HCC induced by high-LET radiation, HCC induced by low-LET radiation, spontaneous HCC, non-tumor liver irradiated with high-LET radiation, non-tumor liver irradiated with low-LET radiation, normal liver without radiation.
Project description:We used NCode Human Long Non-coding RNA microarray to study differential expression of noncoding RNAs in tumor samples from patients with ovarian cancer. Normal ovarian tissue samples were used as controls.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and tumoral tissues of the breast. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450 thousand CpGs in fresh frozen tissue samples (40 primary breast tumours and 17 normal breast tissues). Samples included morphologically normal samples of each tissue and tumor samples.
Project description:To screen candidate methylation markers for early detection of breast cancer, we performed methylated-CpG island recovery assay combined with CpG island array on 61982 CpG sites across 4162 genes in 10 breast tumor tissues and 10 non-tumor breast tissues. We detected 70 significantly hypermethylated genes in breast tumor tissues, including many novel hypermethylated genes such as ITGA4, NFIX, OTX2 and FGF12. Direct bisulfite sequencing showed widespread methylations occurred in intragenic regions of WT1, PAX6 and ITGA4 genes and promoter region of OTX2 in breast cancer tissue. COBRA assay in independent tumor and non-tumor samples confirmed that WT1, OTX2 and PAX6 genes were hypermethylated in breast cancer tissues. To explore the relationship between methylation and gene expression, gene expression profiling analysis was performed in 8 breast tumor tissues and 8 non-tumor breast tissues. We found that some hypermethylated genes in breast cancer were not expressed in breast tissues. RT-PCR assay showed that WT1 and PITX2 were only weakly expressed in the breast tumor tissues and weren’t expressed in most non-tumor breast tissues. OTX2 and PAX6 weren’t expressed in both breast tumor tissues and non-tumor tissues. Unpaired experiments, breast cancer tissue vs. normal cancer tissue. Biological replicates: 10 breast cancer tissue replicates, 10 normal breast tissue replicates.
