Project description:Whole-transcript and exon-level expression data for human primary and metastatic prostate cancer samples and control normal adjacent benign prostate
Project description:In order to examine the impact our probe filtering efforts might have on the analysis of real-world primary data, we analyzed clinical prostate cancer specimens. This included profiling of four prostate tumour tissue samples and four benign prostate tissues using the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation450 (HM450K bead array) BeadChip. These samples were used to explore the effects on analysis with and without a probe filtering. Four tumour samples containing Gleason 6 cancer and four benign samples from other prostate glands containing Gleason 6 cancer were selected for study. Tissue samples were cryosectioned for histopathological assessment. Genomic DNA was extracted from the homogenized samples using the Allprep Micro Kit (Qiagen, CA, USA) following manufacturer’s instructions and bisulfite converted using the Zymo EZ DNA Methylation kit (Zymo Research Corporation, CA, USA). The resulting libraries were hybridized onto the Illumina HumanMethylation450 (HM450K bead array) BeadChip. Raw intensity data was generated using an iScan microarray reader (Illumina).
Project description:Samples of benign prostate tissue, localized prostate cancer tissue, and metastatic prostate cancer tissue are profiled to study expression changes in diagnosis and progression of prostate cancer. Each tissue sample is also profiled for metabolomics data Keywords: Cancer Progression 41 samples were analyzed (16 benign prostate tissue, 12 local prostate cancer tissue, 13 metastatic prostate cancer tissue)
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
