Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma samples were obtained after patients provided written informed consent and with the approval of the institutional research ethics board at the Liver Cancer Institute of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Fresh tumor tissues were implanted in NOD/SCID mice. Tumor lines were successfully maintained through multiple rounds of serial transplantation. We used microarrays to evaluate the genotype similarity between patient tumor and patient-derived xenograft (PDX).

Project description:To explore the miRNA expression profiles between HBV-related Hepatocellular carcinoma and no HBV-related Hepatocellular carcinoma To performe microarray analysis to detect the miRNA expression profiles between HBV-related Hepatocellular carcinoma and no HBV-related Hepatocellular carcinoma
Project description:Data interpreting of PDX proteome is still a problem because with the growth of human cancerous tissue in an immunodeficient mouse, the endothelial cells and fibroblasts from the host mouse replaced human stromal components, making PDX sample a mixture of human and mouse cells. In this study, we created four human and mouse protein mixtures with different human protein percentages as the standard testing sets. We established an easy algorithm to fit the known proportions and used this strategy on a pair of PDX samples. Our data suggested that our new algorithm is feasible and may help to offer more information on PDX proteome data analysis.
