AIM:To analyze the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs)in hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor(NT)liver tissues were collected from 29 patients with HCC,immediately after liver resection,between March 2011 and July2013.The diagnosis of HCC was made based on histological examination.Differentially expressed lncRNAs between HCC and NT tissues were revealed through microarray-based lncRNAs expression profiling.Further,quantification of selected lncRNAs was performed using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).RESULTS:Six hundred and fifty-nine lncRNAs were differentially expressed between HCC and NT tissues,of which five[TCONS_00018278,AK093543,D16366,ENST00000501583,NR_002819(MALAT1)]were selected for validation.Four of them were significantly downregulated in HCC tissues compared with NT tissues(P=0.012,0.045,0.000 and 0.000,respectively),and the expression level of MALAT1 showed no significant difference(P=0.114).CONCLUSION:This study identified a set of lncRNAs differentially expressed in HCC tissues and provided useful information for exploring potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers of this cancer.
AIM: To analyze the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor (NT) liver tissues were collected from 29 patients with HCC, immediately after liver resection, between March 2011 and July 2013. The diagnosis of HCC was made based on histological examination. Differentially expressed lncRNAs between carried HCC and NT tissues were revealed through microarray-based lncRNAs expression profiling. Further, quantification of selected lncRNAs was performed using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) .RESULTS: Six hundred and fifty-nine lncRNAs were differentially expressed between HCC and NT tissues, of which five [TCONS_00018278, AK093543, D16366, ENST00000501583, NR_002819 (MALAT1)] were selected for validation. of them were significantly downregulated in HCC tissues compared with NT tissues (P = 0.012, 0.045, 0.000 and 0.000, respectively), and the expression level of M ALT1 showed no significant difference (P = 0.114). CONCLUSION: This study identified a set of lncRNAs differentially expressed in HCC tissues and provided useful information for exploring potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers of this cancer.
