Background: circular RNAs are a class of endogenous RNAs with various functions in eukaryotic cells. Worthy of note, circular RNAs play a critical role in cancer. Currently, nothing is known about the role of circular RNAs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The identification of circular RNAs in HNSCC might become useful for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in HNSCC.
The oncogenic role of circPVT1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is mediated through the mutant p53/YAP/TEAD transcription-competent complex.

View SamplesThere is high need of novel diagnostic and prognostic tools for tumors of the digestive system, such as gastric cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.
MiR-204 down-regulation elicited perturbation of a gene target signature common to human cholangiocarcinoma and gastric cancer.

View SamplesChe-1 is a RNA Polymerase II binding protein involved in the regulation of gene transcription. We have observed that Che-1 depletion induces apoptosis in several cancer cells expressing mutated forms of p53. We used microarrays to investigate classes of genes regulated by Che-1 in one of these cell lines.
Che-1 promotes tumor cell survival by sustaining mutant p53 transcription and inhibiting DNA damage response activation.

View SamplesChe-1 is a RNA Polymerase II binding protein involved in the regulation of gene transcription. Che-1 emerges as an important adaptor that connects transcriptional regulation, cell-cycle progression, checkpoint control, and apoptosis.
Che-1-induced inhibition of mTOR pathway enables stress-induced autophagy.

View SamplesEarly-passage (<10 passages) cultures of melanoma cells from metastatic lymph node lesions and normal adult melanocytes explanted in parallel from the adjacent, non-involved skin of 5 patients were compared by cDNA arrays. Differences between normal and neoplastic counterparts were then assessed upon adjustment for individual factors.

View SamplesTreatment of leukemia cells with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 may overcome their differentiation block and lead to the transition from myeloblasts to monocytes. To identify microRNA-mRNA networks relevant for myeloid differentiation, we profiled the expression of mRNAs and microRNAs associated to the low- and high-density ribosomal fractions in leukemic cells and in their differentiated monocytic counterpart. Intersection between mRNAs shifted across the fractions after treatment with putative target genes of modulated microRNAs showed a series of molecular networks relevant for the monocyte cell fate determination

View SamplesThis work provides a comprehensive and global perspective of gene expression in human epidermal melanocytes using RNA-Seq. Our focus on cell signalling genes and differential expression between lightly and darkly pigmented melanocytes may help to identify novel pigmentation genes and potential pharmacological targets.
