Project description:A quantitative label-free proteome analysis was performed using plasma samples from 22 hepatitis-C virus (HCV)-induced liver cirrhosis patients, 16 HCV-positive hepatocellular carcinoma patients with underlying cirrhosis and 18 healthy controls. Plasma microparticles (PMPS) were isolated using ultracentrifugation and analyzed via label-free LC-MS/MS.

Project description:Using CapitalBio Technology Human CircRNA Array v2 (4x180K) microarray, we compared the expression of circular RNAs in the plasma from five hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma patients and five chronic hepatitis B patients.
Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could cause hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV-mediated pathogenesis is only partially understood, but X protein (HBx) reportedly possesses oncogenic potential. Exosomes are small membrane vesicles with diverse functions released by various cells including hepatocytes, and HBV harnesses cellular exosome biogenesis and export machineries for virion morphogenesis and secretion. Therefore, HBV infection might cause changes in exosome contents with functional implications for both virus and host. In this project, exosome protein content changes induced by HBV and HBx were quantitatively analyzed by SILAC/LC-MS/MS. Exosomes prepared from SILAC-labeled hepatoma cell line Huh-7 transfected with HBx, wildtype or HBx-null HBV replicon plasmids were analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE9843: Gene expression profiling of 91 hepatocellular carcinomas with hepatitis C virus etiology, Samples with "vascular invasion: Yes/No" were included in the study. GSE20017: Gene Signature to Identify Vascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Refer to individual Series
Project description:We applied small RNA Solexa sequencing technology to identify microRNA expression in human liver samples from surgically removed liver tissues including three normal liver tissues (distal normal liver tissue of liver hemangioma), an hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected liver, a severe chronic hepatitis B liver, two HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), an hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC, and an HCC without HBV or HCV infection. All samples were collected with the informed consent of the patients and the experiments were approved by the ethics committee of Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China. We investigated the miRNome in human normal liver and suggested some deregulated abundantly expressed microRNAs in HCC. center_name: National Key Laboratory of Medical Immunology & Institute of Immunology, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China. Examination of miRNome in human liver samples from surgically removed liver tissues including three normal liver tissues (distal normal liver tissue of liver hemangioma), an hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected liver tissue, a severe chronic hepatitis B liver tissue, an HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue and adjacent liver tissues of different regions,an HBV-related HCC tissue and adjacent liver tissue, an hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC tissue and adjacent liver tissue, and an HCC without HBV or HCV infection and adjacent liver tissue. All 15 human liver tissue samples.

Project description:Small, non-coding RNAs control gene expression post-transcriptionally and play important roles in virus-host interactions. Within the liver, the microRNA (miRNA) miR-122 is essential for replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV), while repression of miR-148a by hepatitis B virus (HBV) may enhance tumorigenesis. Despite their importance to the outcome of these infections, few previous studies have described unbiased profiling of small RNAs in the liver during chronic viral hepatitis. Here, we sequenced small (14-40 nts) RNAs in liver from subjects with chronic hepatitis B and C. We found that small RNAs derived from tRNAs, specifically 5’ tRNA-halves (“5’ tRHs”, ~31-34 nts), are abundant in liver and significantly increased during chronic viral infection in humans and also chimpanzees. In most infected livers, 5’ tRH abundance exceeded that of miRNAs. In contrast, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue from these subjects, tRH abundance was reduced concomitant with decreased expression of the tRNA-cleaving ribonuclease, angiogenin. Although tRHs have been identified in mice, our results show they are abundantly expressed in human tissue, increased in chronic viral infection, and decreased in liver cancer. Our findings highlight the potential biological and clinical relevance of these small non-coding RNAs. Small RNA-seq of liver samples from control subjects (n=4), subjects with chronic hepatitis B (n=4) and hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma (n=4, 3 out of 4 matched with non-tumor tissue) and subjects with chronic hepatitis C (n=4) and tissue from hepatocellular carcinoma of the same patients. Also, small RNA-seq of AGO2 and IgG pulldown in FT3-7 cells. Sequenced AGO2 pulldown (n=3), IgG pulldown (n=2) and total small RNA from FT3-7 cells (n=3). This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Project description:Study goal is to disclose features of gene expressio profile of non-cancerous liver-infiltrating lymphocytes of type C hepatitis patients with hepatocellular carcinomas and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes of type C hepatitis patients with hepatocellular carcinomas. Keywords: gene expression profile, non-cancerous liver-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, type C hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma Non-cancerous liver-infiltrating lymphocytes were obtained by laser capture microdissection from surgically resected liver tissues of 12 type C hepatitis patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The mRNA was amplified and expression profile was comprehensively analyzed with reference RNA using oligo-DNA chip.
