Project description:Specimens were collected from esophageal adenocarcinoma patients undergoing esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma at the University of Michigan Health System between 1991 and 2012. Written consent was obtained from each patient according to the approval and guidelines of the University of Michigan institutional review board. Patients receiving treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy prior to surgery were excluded. Tissue samples were fresh-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C until use.

Project description:Innate immune activation upon surgery serves as a protective mechanism, its orchestration and timely resolution is essential for patient recovery. We investigated the determinants associated with recovery after orthopedic surgery including monocyte and cytokine signature. Blood samples from orthopedic surgery (ORT) patients were collected before (T0), and 24 h (T1) and 3-5 days (T2) after surgery. Bulk RNAseq of peripheral blood monocyte samples was performed in order to delinate the profile of monocytes in each of the time points. The bulk RNAseq data evealed upregulated genes controlling immune cell migration and differentiation, but not of pro-inflammatory genes in T2.
Project description:Fifty patient urine samples diagnosed as high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) or benign were evaluated for bladder cancer via urine cytology. RNA was isolated and analyzed by microarray to identify a panel of biomarkers differentially expressed in HGUC and benign.
Project description:To investigate circadian clocks in human breast tumors, 43 pairs of human samples (tumor and matched normal breast tissues from the same patient) were collected to run bulk-RNAseq, including 29 pairs of Luminal A, 3 pairs of Luminal B, 2 pairs of HER2 and 9 pairs of Triple-negative breast cancer

Written consent was obtained from each patient according to the approval and guidelines of the University of Michigan institutional review board. Patients receiving treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy prior to surgery were excluded. Tissue samples were fresh-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until use. Cellularity of metaplastic, dysplastic, and tumor samples were assured to be greater than 70% before sample RNA was isolated. RNA from 31 Barrett’s and 15 adenocarcinoma samples was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix HG-U133A microarrays.
