In chronic kidney disease (CKD) state, various changes in gene expression in kidneys are occurring, reflecting accumulation of uremic toxins, local inflammation, increased oxidative stress, and up-regulation of pro-fibrotic signals. However, little studies have been conducted for comprehensive evaluation of transcriptomic changes in CKD kidneys. Identification of key signals in CKD may lead to the elucidation of the mechanism of CKD progression and the development of therapeutic methods.

View SamplesHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous disease with a variety of etiological factors, and ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide due to multifocal recurrence. Comprehensive molecular evaluation of HCC by multiplatform analysis defined three major subtypes: (1) mitogenic and stem cell-like tumors with chromosomal instability; (2) CTNNB1-mutated tumors displaying DNA hypermethylation; and (3) metabolic syndrome-associated tumors, which included an immunogenic subgroup characterized by macrophage infiltration and favorable prognosis. Although genomic and epigenomic analysis explicitly discriminated HCC with intrahepatic metastasis (IM) from multicentric HCC (MC), the phenotypic similarity between the primary and recurrent tumors was not linked to the IM/MC diagnosis, but rather the integrated classification. Thus, identification of these HCC subtypes provides insights into patient stratification and opportunities for therapeutic development.

View SamplesTongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) varies in characteristics even in early stages and is mainly classified into three subtypes, which are superficial, exophytic and endophytic types, based on a macroscopic appearance of tumor growth.Of these subtypes, endophytic tumor has a poorer prognosis because of its invasive feature and higher frequency to have metastasis. To understand a molecular mechanism of endophytic subtype and identify biomarkers, we performed comprehensive microarray analysis for mRNAs from clinical biopsy sampleswhich were classified into subtypes and found overexpression of parvin-beta (PARVB) gene significantly related to endophytic type. PARVB is known to play a critical role in actin reorganization and focal adhesions. Knocking down PARVB expression in vitrocaused apparent decreases in cell migration and wound healing, implying that PARVB has a crucial role in cellular motility. Moreover, metastasis-free survival was significantly lowered in patients with higher PARVB expression. Therefore overexpression of PARVB is a candidate biomarker for endophytic tumor and metastasis and may be clinically applicable for decision making of an adjuvant therapy in TSCC.
PARVB overexpression increases cell migration capability and defines high risk for endophytic growth and metastasis in tongue squamous cell carcinoma.
