View SamplesMicroarrays were used to examine gene expression changes that may be present in the fallopian tube epithelium of morphologically normal BRCA1 mutation positive and negative subjects. Fallopian tube epithelia has been implicated as an early point of origin for serous carcninoma. By examining the early events present in the microenvironment of this tissue between BRCA1 mutation carriers and non-carriers, we hoped to elucidate mechanisms that may lead to the development of epithelial ovarian cancer.

View SamplesDue to heterogeneous multifocal nature of prostate cancer (PCa), there is currently a lack of biomarkers that stably distinguish it from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), predict clinical outcome and guide the choice of optimal treatment. In this study, RNA-seq analysis was applied to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor and matched normal tissue samples collected from Russian patients with PCa and BPH. We identified 3384 genes differentially expressed (DE) (FDR < 0.05) between tumor tissue of PCa patients and adjacent normal tissue as well as both tissue types from BPH patients. Overexpression of four of the genes previously not associated with PCa (ANKRD34B, NEK5, KCNG3, and PTPRT) was validated by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, the enrichment analysis of overrepresented microRNA and transcription factor (TF) recognition sites within DE genes revealed common regulatory elements of which 13 microRNAs and 53 TFs were thus linked to PCa for the first time. Moreover, 8 of these TFs (FOXJ2, GATA6, NFE2L1, NFIL3, PRRX2, TEF, EBF2 and ZBTB18) were found to be differentially expressed in this study, making them not only candidate biomarkers of prostate cancer but also potential therapeutic targets. Overall design: Whole transcriptome profiling of tumor tissue and matched adjacent normal tissue from 15 patients with PCa and 2 with BPH.

View SamplesWe compare the transcriptome of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), adult stem cells with apparent greater differentiation potential such as multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and neurospheres (NS). Mouse and rat MAPCs were used in this study and two different array platforms (Affymetrix and NIA) were used for mouse samples.

View SamplesLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to regulate the expression of mRNAs with which they share partial complementarity. We sought to identify the mechanism through which the lncRNA OIP5-AS1, which is abundant in the cytoplasm, suppressed cell proliferation. Silencing of OIP5-AS1 in human cervical carcinoma cells revealed the appearance of many aberrant (monopolar, multipolar, misaligned) mitotic spindles. By biotin-oligomer affinity pulldown, proteomic, and bioinformatic analyses, we identified a subset of human cell cycle regulatory proteins encoded by mRNAs that were capable of interacting with OIP5-AS1. Further investigation revealed that GAK mRNA, which encodes a cyclin G-associated kinase important for mitotic progression, was a prominent target of OIP5-AS1. The interaction between these two transcripts led to a reduction in GAK mRNA stability and GAK protein abundance, as determined in cells in which OIP5-AS1 levels were increased or decreased. Importantly, the aberrant mitotic cell division seen after silencing OIP5-AS1 was partly rescued if GAK was simultaneously silenced. These findings indicate that the abnormal mitoses seen after silencing OIP5-AS1 was caused by an untimely rise in GAK levels and suggest that OIP5-AS1 suppresses cell proliferation at least in part by reducing GAK levels

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to minimize the number of candidate genes responsible for salt tolerance between a pair of rice varieties (CSR27 and MI48) with contrasting level of salt tolerance by bulked segregant analysis of their recombinant inbred lines. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the tolerant and susceptible parents without and with stress showed 798 and 2407 differentially expressed genes, respectively. The number of differentially expressed genes was drastically reduced to 70 and 30, by pooling the RNAs from ten extreme tolerant and ten extreme susceptible RILs due to normalization of irrelevant differentially expressed genes between the parents.
