Project description:Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is a tumour type with rather low five year survival, around 60%. The poor survival rate has been ascribed to late detection, a high frequency of locoregional recurrence, the occurrence of secondary primary tumours and death due to comorbidity. One reason for development of recurrence is thought to be the existence of transformed cells in areas adjacent to the primary tumour, cancerization field effect. The aim of this study was to map the changes in the tumour free tongue tissue adjacent to tongue tumours compared with healthy control tongue tissue to better understand the cancerization field effect. Tissue biopsies were collected from tumour (T) and tumour free tissue adjacent to the tumour (TF) from patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Control tissue was collected from latter border of the tongue of tumour free healthy volunteers (C). All samples were homogenized and RNA was extracted. The RNA was biotin labelled and run on Illumina HT-12 bead chip array.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34105: Gene expression profiling of archival tongue carcinoma and normal tongue tissue (all samples) GSE34106: Gene expression profiling of archival tongue carcinoma and normal tongue tissue (subset) Refer to individual Series
Project description:Nine groups of rat tongue tissue RNA samples, including three from normal control, three from 4NQO induced tongue tissue, and three from 4NQO induced and IL-1Ra interference tongue tissue (3 rats per group) were collected for gene microarray hybridization.
Project description:We aimed to understand the molecular basis of muscular development in tongue. We focused on the critical stages of tongue myogenesis, namely, E10.5 (settlement of myogenic progenitors in tongue primordium), E11.5 (initiation of myoblast differentiation with the development of lateral lingual swellings).
Project description:The tongue is a heavily innervated and vascularized striated muscle that plays an important role in vocalization and swallowing. The surface of the tongue is lined with papillae which contain gustatory cells expressing various taste receptors. There is growing evidence to suggest our perceptions of taste and food preference are remodelled following chronic consumption of western diets rich in carbohydrate and fats. Our sensitivity to taste and also metabolism western diets may be a key factor in the rising prevalence of obesity but a systems-wide analysis is lacking. Here, we defined the proteomic landscape of the mouse tongue and quantified changes following chronic consumption of a chow or western diet for 7 months. We observed a dramatic remodelling of the tongue proteome including changes in fatty acid and mitochondrial metabolism. The expression of several receptors, and metabolic enzymes and hormones were also differentially regulated which is exciting as these may serve as novel therapeutic targets to potentially alter taste perception and food preference to combat obesity.
