Project description:LncRNAs are key regulatory molecules involved in a variety of biological process and human diseases. However, the pathological effects of lncRNAs on primary varicose great saphenous veins (GSVs) remain unclear. In this study, we aimed at identifying aberrantly expressed lncRNAs involved in the prevalence of GSV varicosities and exploring their potential regulating effects. 6 paired tissues of the varicose great saphenous vein patient were used to compare the expression differences between varicose veins (VVs) and adjacent normal segments of saphenous veins (NVs) in the study. The lncRNA and mRNA expression profile of 6 paired vein tissues were studied using the microarry.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of psoriatic disease skin tissue and adjacent Normal skin samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in tissue samples. Total 48 samples were taken including 24 paired tissues.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and normal peripheral blood samples. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip v1.1 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 482,421 CpGs in peripheral blood samples. Samples came from 17 Crohn's disease affected, 11 ulcerative colitis affected, and 20 normal individuals. Within these samples were three twin sets discordant for Crohn's disease and three twin sets discordant for ulcerative colitis.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and gastric cardia cancer samples. The Illumina Infinium 850k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs in normal and gastric cardia cancer samples. Samples included 8 normal -gastrica cardia cancer paired tissues.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and lung adenocarcinoma fresh tissue samples. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (850K) was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 860,000 CpGs in fresh tissue of lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent histological normal lung tissue samples. Samples included 30 paired tumor-normal driver gene-negative lung adenocarcinoma tissues and 35 paired tumor-normal EGFR-mutation positive lung adenocarcinoma tissues.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal skin and common warts samples infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs. DNA was extracted from 24 paired wart and normal skin samples.
