Project description:Purpose Accumulating evidence indicates aberrant DNA methylation is closely related to oral carcinogenesis, and it has been shown that methylation changes might be used as prognostic biomarker in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Oral lichenoid disease (OLD) is the most common oral potentially malignant disorder in our region. In this study, we have performed a wide DNA methylation study of a series of oral lichenoid disease in order to assess the relevance of DNA methylation changes in this premalignant disorder. Experimental Design Discovery phase utilized HumanMethylation27 DNA Analysis BeadChip assay in 18 OLD and 5 control samples. The differently methylated loci and the global DNA methylation surrogate LINE-, were further validated in an independent sample set consisting in 158 OLD and 65 controls. Results DNA methylation profile of the OLD showed only minor significant differences when compared to controls. MGC40178, ADORA1 and LINE-1 were slightly hypomethylated in 23, 40 and 43 % of the OLD samples respectively, while only in 13, 18 and 15% of the controls. Conclusions In summary, our data indicates that the frequency of aberrant DNA alteration is very low in OLD, which support the low rate of malignization of this oral potentially malignant disorder. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 17 Oral lichenoid samples and 5 control samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.217

Oral lichenoid disease (OLD) is the most common oral potentially malignant disorder in our region. In this study, we have performed a wide DNA methylation study of a series of oral lichenoid disease in order to assess the relevance of DNA methylation changes in this premalignant disorder. Experimental Design: Discovery phase utilized the Illumina Golden Gate Cancer Panel I in 51 OLD and 6 control samples. The differently methylated loci and the global DNA methylation surrogate LINE-1, were further validated in an independent sample set consisting in 160 OLD and 65 controls. Results: DNA methylation profiles of the OLD showed only minor significant differences when compared to controls. Conclusions: In summary, our data indicates that the frequency of aberrant DNA alteration is very low in OLD, which support the low rate of malignization of this oral potentially malignant disorder. Bisulphite-converted DNA from the 51 oral lichenoid disease samples and 6 control samples were hybridised to the Illumina GoldenGate Methylation Cancer Panel I.

Project description:Cancer cell phenotypes are partially determined by epigenetic specifications such as DNA methylation. Metastasis development is a late event in cancerogenesis and might be associated with epigenetic alterations. Here, we analyzed genome wide DNA methylation changes that were associated with pro-metastatic phenotypes in non-small cell lung cancer using the Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip platform.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of gastric tumors and matched gastric non-malignant samples. The Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 27,578 CpGs in 203 gastric tumors and 94 matched non-malignant gastric samples.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of tumor samples with lung adenocarcinoma patients. The Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip array was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,578 CpGs in lung cancer samples. Samples included tumor samples with lung adenocarcinoma.
Project description:We performed a genome wide methylation scan using the Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip on DNAs extracted from the leukocytes of 8 hypertensive cases and 8 normotensive age-matched controls. All subjects were African American males aged 14-23 years.
