Project description:Comprehensive DNA methylation analysis using the clinical FFPE samples of the gastric cancer, gastric mucosa surrounding cancer, and biopsy gastric mucosa.
Project description:Because gastric cancer cells already had genetic and epigenetic alterations which can affect the gastric carcinogenesis, we tried to characterize genetic and epigenetic changes during gastric carcinogenesis. To do this, we performed MBD sequencing and RRBS sequencing. MBD and RRBS sequencing of gastric mucosa, intestinal metaplasia, and gastric cancer cells from one patient were generated by NGS using Illumina GAII.

Project description:In this study, we aimed to reveal whether gastric mucosa with AIG has a specific gene expression profile, involving in its histology and chronic inflammation. To approach this, we performed comprehensive analysis of gene expression using gastric mucosa with atuoimmune gastritis, that with H. pylori-associated gastritis and healthy mucosa without any inflammation. Potential mechanisms of the gene expression changes in gastric mucosa with AIG were also explored.
Project description:1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a neurotoxin that can cause gastrointestinal ulcers by affecting dopamine levels. Therefore, MPTP has been considered a toxic substance that causes gastric ulcer disease in experimental animals. In this study, tree shrews were used as the animal model of gastric mucosa injury, and MPTP was intraperitoneally injected for 13 weeks, while tree shrews were not injected as the control group. Under the light microscope, local congestion or diffuse bleeding points of gastric mucosa and multiple redness and swelling bleeding symptoms on the inner wall were observed in the treatment group, as well as immune cell infiltration was found in HE staining, but no such phenomenon was observed in the control group. In order to explore the molecular basis of changes in MPTP induced gastric mucosa injury, the transcriptome and proteome data of gastric mucosa were analyzed. We observed significant differences in mRNA and protein expression levels under the influence of MPTP. The changes in mRNA and proteins are related to increased immune infiltration, cellular processes and angiogenesis. More differentially expressed genes play a role in immune function, especially the candidate genes RPL4 and ANXA1 with significant signal and core role. There are also differentially expressed genes that play a role in mucosal injury and shedding, especially candidate genes GAST and DDC with certain signaling and corresponding functions. Understanding the factors and molecular basis that affect the expression of related genes is crucial for coping with Emotionality gastric mucosa injury disease and developing new treatment methods to establish the ability to resist disease.
