Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of tumor and normal samples with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. The Illumina GolodenGate methylation cancer panel I was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 1,505 CpGs in esophageal squemous cell carcinoma samples. Samples included normal, tumors and plasma samples with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, also inculding the plasma samples with cancer-free individual.

Bisulfite converted DNA from the 288 samples were hybridised to the Illumina GolodenGate methylation cancer panel I
Project description:Both genetic and epigenetic aberrations are linked by intricate crosstalk, and can either individually or in synergy lead to the development of cancer. Accumulating evidence suggests that epigenetic changes such as alterations in DNA methylation play a crucial role in ESCC. We performed a Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip to examine the global methylation signature of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma of Chinese patients. DNA methylation profiles of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (4 samples), paired adjacent normal surrounding tissues (4 samples) and normal esophagus mucosa from healthy individuals (4 samples) were generated using Infinium methylation 450K BeadChips from Illumina (Illumina, San Diego, USA).
Project description:We have investigated expressed microRNA in cryo-preserved esophageal cancer tissues using advanced microRNA microarray techniques. Our microarray analyses reveal a unique microRNA expression signature composed of 40 genes which can distinguish normal from malignant esophageal tissue. Some microRNAs could be correlated with the different clinico-pathological classifications. For example, high hsa-miR-103, -107, -23b expression correlated with poor overall disease-free survival of esophageal cancer patients. These results indicate that microRNA expression profiles are important diagnostic and prognostic markers of esophageal cancer, which might be analyzed simply using economical approaches such as RT-PCR. Keywords: microRNA, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cancer vs adjacent normal tissues

Project description:The purpose of this study is to explore the circRNAs expression profiles in the plasma from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients.The purpose of this study is to explore the circRNAs expression profiles in the plasma from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients.
Project description:Analysis of peripheral circulating mRNA expression levels in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The hypothesis test was that chemoradiation alters the circulating mRNA expression profiles and the profiling is predictive of pathological response. Results provide information on the response of circulating mRNAs to chemoradiation and identify novel biomarkers or targets in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Total RNA obtained from peripheral whole blood before and after neoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. 21 patients with 42 samples were analyzed. The expression profiles from pathological complete responders were compared to non-complete responders.

Project description:We demonstrate that blood and esophageal tissues shared similar DNA methylation patterns within the same individual,suggesting an influence of genetic background on DNA methylation. Recent studies have shown a genetic influence on gene expression variation, chromatin, and DNA methylation. However, the effects of genetic background and tissue types on DNA methylation at the genome-wide level have not been characterized extensively. To study the effect of genetic background and tissue types on global DNA methylation, we performed DNA methylation analysis using the Affymetrix 500K SNP array on tumor, adjacent normal tissue, and blood DNA from 30 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The use of multiple tissues from 30 individuals allowed us to evaluate variation of DNA methylation states across tissues and individuals. Our results demonstrate that blood and esophageal tissues shared similar DNA methylation patterns within the same individual, suggesting an influence of genetic background on DNA methylation. Furthermore, we showed that tissue types are important contributors of DNA methylation states. Methylation and gDNA intensity data derived from Affymetrix 500k array. 30 individuals with blood, normal and tumor esophageal tissues.
