Project description:The primary objective of this prospective observational study is to characterize the gut and oral microbiome as well as the whole blood transcriptome in gastrointestinal cancer patients and correlate these findings with cancer type, treatment efficacy and toxicity. Participants will be recruited from existing clinical sites only, no additional clinical sites are needed.
Project description:This study intends to explore the clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis of locally recurrent colorectal cancer patients with different treatment modes by retrospectively analyzing the medical records of locally recurrent colorectal cancer patients who received hospitalization in our center. Transcriptome sequencing and public databases were used to screen for molecular markers related to locally recurrent colorectal cancer and to explore molecular markers’ regulatory role in the progression of locally recurrent colorectal cancer.
Project description:In order to more accurately discover the cause of drug resistance in tumor treatment, and to provide a new basis for precise treatment.
Therefore, based on the umbrella theory of precision medicine, we carried out this single-center, prospective, and observational study to include patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer. By combining genome, transcriptome, and proteomic sequencing data, we established a basis for colorectal cancer liver Transfer the multi-omics data of the sample, describe the reason for the resistance of the first-line treatment, and search for new therapeutic targets.
Project description:Few studies have investigated host-bacterial interactions at sites of infection in humans using transcriptomics and metabolomics. Haemophilus ducreyi causes cutaneous ulcers in children and the genital ulcer disease chancroid in adults. We developed a human challenge model in which healthy adult volunteers are infected with H. ducreyi on the upper arm until they develop pustules. Here, we characterized host-pathogen interactions in pustules using transcriptomics and metabolomics and examined interactions between the host transcriptome and metabolome using integrated omics. In a previous pilot study, we determined the human and H. ducreyi transcriptomes and the metabolome of pustule and wounded sites of 4 volunteers (B. Griesenauer, et al. mBio 10(3):e01193-19 https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01193-19). While we could form provisional transcriptional networks between the host and H. ducreyi, the study was underpowered to integrate the metabolome with the host transcriptome. To better define and integrate the transcriptomes and metabolome, we used samples from both the pilot study (n=4) and new volunteers (n=8) to identify 5,495 human differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 123 H. ducreyi DEGs, 205 differentially abundant positive ions, and 198 differentially abundant negative ions. We identified 42 positively correlated and 29 negatively correlated human-H. ducreyi transcriptome clusters. In addition, we defined human transcriptome-metabolome networks consisting of 9 total clusters, which highlighted changes in fatty acid metabolism and mitigation of oxidative damage. Taken together, the data suggest a mixed pro- and anti-inflammatory environment and rewired central metabolism in the host that provides a hostile, nutrient limited environment for H. ducreyi.
