Project description:In addition to the generation and analysis of metabolomics data on cell lines, samples of normal lung tissue, adenocarcinoma lung tissue and small cell lung carcinoma tissue (seven samples/group) were processed and evaluated metabolite profile differences under the scope of the pilot and feasibility study. These data can be correlated to the metabolite profiles defined in the SCLC and NSCLC cell lines and integrated with the ABPP-determined metabolic kinases to identify distinct metabolic signatures or biomarkers (?oncometabolites?) that distinguish small cell lung cancer from non-small cell lung cancer.
Project description:Early detection of small cell lung cancer crucially demands highly reliable markers. Growing evidence suggests that extracellular vesicles carry tumor cell-specific cargo suitable as protein markers in cancer. Therefore, we isolated plasma-derived exosomes from newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer patients and investigated proteome dynamics of these exosomes aiming at improving the detection of small cell lung cancer. A total of 1,016 proteins were initially identified. After data processing and statistical analysis, several proteins were found to be differentially expressed in comparing small cell lung cancer patients and healthy individuals, indicating that circulating exosomes may encompass specific proteins with potential diagnostic attributes for small cell lung cancer. Furthermore, our data may indicate a novel tumor-suppressing role of blood coagulation and involvement of complement activation in small cell lung cancer pathogenesis.
Project description:We used CCK-8 experiment to determine the chemotherapy tolerance of small cell lung cancer cells, from which we found chemotherapy-sensitive cells (H446) and chemotherapy-tolerant cells (SHP77).By RNA-SEQ, we found 99 miRNAs with abnormal expression associated with chemotherapy tolerance, including 69 up-regulated miRNAs and 30 down-regulated miRNAs. Several miRNAs related to chemotherapy tolerance of small cell lung cancer were found through qRT-PCR verification, which helped us to further clarify the mechanism of chemotherapy tolerance of small cell lung cancer.
Project description:Early detection of small cell lung cancer crucially demands highly reliable markers. Growing evidence suggests that extracellular vesicles carry tumor cell-specific cargo suitable as protein markers in cancer. Therefore, we isolated plasma-derived microvesicles from newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer patients and investigated proteome dynamics of these microvesicles aiming at improving the detection of small cell lung cancer. A total of 1,223 proteins were initially identified. After data processing and statistical analysis, several proteins were found to be differentially expressed in comparing small cell lung cancer patients and healthy individuals. Furthermore, our data may indicate involvement of complement activation, integrin-mediated signaling, cell adhesion- and migration, and blood coagulation in small cell lung cancer pathogenesis.
Project description:We obtained small cell lung cancer specimens and normal lung specimens from patients who died of drug-resistant SCLC. The small lung cancer specimens include primary lesions and metastatic lesions. Next generation sequencing was performed to assess the expression of miRNA in drug-resistant small cell lung cancer.
