Project description:No residual disease after debulking Surgery (R0 resection) is the most critical independent prognostic factor for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). Therefore, it is of paramount importance to preoperative estimate the likelihood of R0 resection for choosing the best therapeutic strategy. Our study aimed to develop a non-invasive and reliable detection method for AOC patients with a high risk of residual disease. An integrated plasma small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) microRNA profiling was generated by RNA sequencing in AOC patients with no residual disease patients (R0) and residual disease(non-R0). We identified and validated a logistic model based on plasma sEVs miRNAs to predict residual disease in AOC patients.

Project description:Comparison of various ovarian tumors and ovarian cell lines. Keywords: Various ovarian tumors and cell lines. Samples from ovarian tumors and ovarian cell lines were examined for their microRNA expression patterns.
Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Low-dose computed tomography screening (LDCT) was recently shown to anticipate the time of diagnosis, thus reducing lung cancer mortality. We identifed a serum microRNA signature (the miR-Test) that could identify the optimal target population for LDCT screening. Here, we performed a large-scale validation study of the miR-Test in high-risk individuals enrolled in the Continuous Observation of Smoking Subjects (COSMOS) lung cancer screening program. RT-qPCR of circulating microRNA purified from serum samples. Trizol-LS and miRNEASY Mini kit (Qiagen) were used for miRNA purification. Custom TaqMan® Low Density Array microRNA Custom Panel (Life Technologies) was used to screen serum circulating microRNA.
Project description:To determine microRNA expression in chemoresistant ovarian cancer, we have employed whole microRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish recurrent ovarian cancer. 8 recurrent ovarian cancer tissue and 8 primary ovarian cancer tissue and 4 normal ovarian tissue was used to identify miRNA profiling.
Project description:To validate prediction marker of ovarian cancer patients, comprehensive analysis of serum microRNA of ovarian cancer patients were performed.
