Recurrently deregulated lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma

Recurrently deregulated lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells often invade the portal venous system and subsequently develop into portal vein tumour thrombosis (PVTT). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been associated with HCC, but a comprehensive analysis of their specific association with HCC metastasis has not been conducted. Here, by analysing 60 clinical samples' RNA-seq data from 20 HCC patients, we have identif...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Sheep

Diagnosis, prognosis and bioinformatics analysis of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the diagnosis and prognosis of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). From the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we screened out and analyzed the differently expressed lncRNAs and related mRNAs using bioinformatics methods. The expressions of lncRNAs were validated in tumor tissues, cell lines and the Cancer Genome Atlas database. At the same time,...

Hepatocellular carcinoma in a sheep

At necropsy of a five-year-old sheep, a pear shaped, lobular yellow-brownish mass measuring about 12 ×15 × 20 cm was found to involve the right hepatic lobe. Microscopic examination revealed two trabecularand solid patterns of neoplastic hepatocytes. In solid pattern, there were numerous tumoral giant cells thatcontain one or more large hyperchromatic bizarre-shaped nuclei scattered among clust...

Deregulated lncRNAs in B Cells from Patients with Active Tuberculosis

Role of lncRNAs in human adaptive immune response to TB infection is largely unexplored. To address this issue, here we characterized lncRNA expression profile in primary human B cell response to TB infection using microarray assay. Several lncRNAs and mRNAs were chosen for RT-qPCR validation. Bioinformatics prediction was applied to delineate function of the deregulated mRNAs. We found that 84...
