Project description:mRNA expression profiling of pancreatic cancer, comparing adjacent normal tissue, patient tumour and first generation patient derived xenograft tumours Fresh tumour samples for human pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients were implanted in SCID mice. 70% of these pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients grew as PDX tumours, confirmed by histopathology. Frozen samples from F1 PDX tumours could be later successful passaged in SCID mice to F2 PDX tumours. The human origin of the PDX was confirmed using human specific antibodies; however, the stromal component was replaced by murine cells. Cell lines were successfully developed from three PDX tumours. RNA was extracted from 8 PDX tumours and where possible, corresponding primary tumour and adjacent normal tissues. mRNA profiles of tumour vs F1 PDX and normal vs tumour were compared by Affymetric microarray analysis

Project description:Methylation profiles of pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines were compared with normal pancreatic ductal tissues Methylated CpG island amplification was followed by CpG island microarray
Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of cancer samples helps to identify the mechanism and molecular markers of cancer. However, transcriptomic analyses of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from the Japanese population are lacking. We performed RNA sequencing of flesh or frozen pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues and adjacent normal pancreatic tissue from 12 Japanese patients to identify genes critical for the clinical pathology of pancreatic cancer among the Japanese population.
Project description:To further development of our lncRNA and mRNA expression approach to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC), we have employed lncRNA and mRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify lncRNA and mRNA expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues and normal pancreatic tissues from PDAC donors and other duodenum diseases donors. analyze mRNA and lncRNA expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by microarray platform

Project description:Serous (cystic) neoplasm (SCN) of the pancreas is usually benign cystic neoplasm and has unique biological characteristics that are different from those found in the normal pancreatic tissue or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissue. In order to investigate molecular mechanisms involved in the unique biological phenotypes of, we compared gene expression profiles of SCN tissues with those of normal pancreatic tissues or those of PDAC tissues.
Project description:Gene expression analyses of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adjacent ductal epithelia from the same patient using bulk vs LCM dissected samples. Our results indicate that laser capture microdissection (LCM) is necessary to identify differentially expressed genes that discriminate between PDAC and healthy pancreatic ductal tissue. Pancreatic tissues were collected at time of surgery and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction and Affymetrix GeneChip Expression analyses.
