Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal lung tissue samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in nor mal lung tissue samples. Samples included 244 normal lung tissue samples from lung cancer patients.
Project description:Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), a serine/threonine kinase and important cell cycle regulator, is overexpressed in melanoma and its expression has been associated with poor disease prognosis. PLK1 has been shown to interact with NUMB, a NOTCH antagonist. However, the exact role of PLK1-NUMB-NOTCH axis in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and melanoma progression is unclear. In this study, Affymetrix microarray analysis was performed to determine differentially expressed genes following doxycyclin induced shRNA-mediated knockdown of PLK1 in human melanoma cells that showed significant modulations in EMT and metastasis related genes.
