View SamplesThe role of Eph/ephrin signaling in numerous biological processes has been established. However, Eph/ephrin signaling has been shown to have complex role in tumor progression. The role of EphB2 receptor in the progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) has not been studied before.

View SamplesInhalation of toxic chemicals, including recent e-cigarettes, often cause life-threatening lung injury. Although exposure to polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG)-containing humidifier disinfectant (HD) has been identified as a cause of fatal lung injury, the mechanism underlying HD-associated lung injury (HDLI) is unknown. The present study evaluated global changes in gene expression in lung tissues from patients with PHMG-induced HDLI, and compared gene expression changes in PHMG-induced rat lung tissues. Significantly different expressions in lung tissues between patients with HDLI and unaffected controls were observed. Furthermore, several fibrosis-associated overlapping genes (such as MMP2 and COL1A2) shared between humans with HDLI and rats exposed to PHMG were identified. Interactome network analysis predicted different pathways between children and adults with HDLI: the TGFβ/SMAD signaling pathway was central in adults, whereas other pathways, including integrin signaling, were associated with HDLI in children. Further interactome network analysis revealed that Rap1 and CCKR signaling pathways were significantly enriched in HDLI compared with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as well as their recapitulation in the lung tissues of rats exposed to PHMG. Our results suggest that MMP2-mediated different mechanisms between children and adults may be associated with PHMG-induced HDLI development, and Rap1 and CCKR pathways appear to be crucial.

View SamplesDespite continual efforts to establish pre-operative prognostic model of gastric cancer by using clinical and pathological parameters, a staging system that reliably separates patients with early and advanced gastric cancer into homogeneous groups with respect to prognosis does not exist. With use of microarray and quantitative RT-PCR technologies, we exploited series of experiments in combination with complementary data analyses on tumor specimens from 161 gastric cancer patients. Various statistical analyses were applied to gene expression data to uncover subgroups of gastric cancer, to identify potential biomarkers associated with prognosis, and to construct molecular predictor of risk from identified prognostic biomarkers.Two subgroups of gastric cancer with strong association with prognosis were uncovered. The robustness of prognostic gene expression signature was validated in independent patient cohort with use of support vector machines prediction model. For easy translation of our finding to clinics, we develop scoring system based on expression of six genes that can predict the likelihood of recurrence after curative resection of tumors. In multivariate analysis, our novel risk score was an independent predictor of recurrence (P=0.004) in cohort of 96 patients, and its robustness was validated in two other independent cohorts. We identified novel prognostic subgroups of gastric cancer that are distinctive in gene expression patterns. Six-gene signature and risk score derived from them has been validated for predicting the likelihood of survival at diagnosis.

View SamplesUnder steady-state conditions, eosinophils are abundantly found in the small intestinal lamina propria, but their physiological function is largely unexplored. We performed a global gene expression analysis to examine which genes are highly expressed by small intestinal eosinophils (CD11b+CD11c(int)MHCII-SiglecF+) compared with dendritic cells (CD11c+MHCII+).

View SamplesBackground: Causative genes for autosomal dominantly inherited familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) have been well characterized. There is, however, another 10-15 % early onset colorectal cancer (CRC) whose genetic components are currently unknown. In this study, we used DNA chip technology to systematically search for genes differentially expressed in early onset CRC.
