Project description:24 SAGE libraries comprising of 8 current smokers, 12 former smokers and 4 never smokers. Keywords: SAGE, gene expression, current, former, never, smokers
Project description:RNA was obtained from histologically normal bronchial epithelium of never, former, and current smokers undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Statistical analysis of the gene expression data identified gene differentially expressed between current and never smokers and classified these genes as irreversible, slowly reversible, or rapidly reversible based on their behavior in former smokers Experiment Overall Design: Microarrays run on total RNA obtained from Bronchial Epithelium of Never Smokers (n=21), Former Smokers (n=31), and Current Smokers (n=52)
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE14633: Gene expression from bronchial epithelial cell samples of current and never smokers. GSE14634: MicroRNA expression from bronchial epithelial cell samples of current and never smokers. Refer to individual Series
Project description:Healthy ex vivo biopsies from masticatory mucosa from 17 current and 21 never smokers were analysed using whole transcriptome RNA sequencing (16 mio reads/sample), showing significantly increased expression of CYP1B1 in smokers compared to non-smokers (p = 2.2 × 10−14), together with 13 significantly upregulated transcripts. Six transcripts were significantly downregulated.

Project description:40 current smokers and 40 age- and gender- matched never smokers underwent buccal biopsies.The study had four objectives: (a) to define the effects of smoking on the transcriptome of oral epithelial cells; (b) to determine if any of the effects of tobacco smoke on the transcriptome are gender-dependent; (c) to compare the effects of tobacco smoke exposure on the transcriptome in oral v. bronchial epithelium and (d) to identify agents with the potential to suppress the effects of tobacco smoke on the transcriptome. We used microarrays to provide new insights into the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke and offer insights that may prove useful in developing preventive strategies.
Project description:Current smokers develop metastatic prostate cancer more frequently than nonsmokers, suggesting that a tobacco-derived factor induces metastasis. To identify smoking-induced alterations in human prostate tumors, we analyzed gene and protein expression of tumors from current, past, and never smokers and observed distinct molecular alterations in current smokers. Specifically, an immune and inflammation signature was identified in prostate tumors of current smokers that was either attenuated or absent in past and never smokers. Key characteristics of this signature included augmented immunoglobulin expression by tumor-infiltrating B cells, NF-kB activation, and increased interleukin-8 in tumor and blood. In an alternate approach to characterize smoking-induced oncogenic alterations, we explored the effects of nicotine in prostate cancer cells and prostate cancer-prone TRAMP mice. These experiments showed that nicotine increases both invasiveness of human prostate cancer cells and metastasis in tumor-bearing TRAMP mice, indicating that nicotine can induce a phenotype that resembles the epidemiology of smoking-associated prostate cancer progression. In summary, we describe distinct oncogenic alterations in prostate tumors from current smokers and show that nicotine can enhance prostate cancer metastasis. Prostate tissues of cancer patients were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Gene expression profiles of current, past and never smokers were compared.
Project description:mRNA expression was profiled from pooled bronchial airway epithelial cell brushings (n=3 patients/pool) obtained during bronchoscopy from healthy never (NS) and current smokers (S) and smokers with (C) and without (NC) lung cancer
Project description:RNA was obtained from histologically normal bronchial epithelium of never, former, and current smokers undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Statistical analysis of the gene expression data identified gene differentially expressed between current and never smokers and classified these genes as irreversible, slowly reversible, or rapidly reversible based on their behavior in former smokers Keywords: Disease state analysis
