Vasculogenic mimicry has been generally accepted as a new form of tumor vascularization and regarded as an unfavorable prognostic factor in multiple aggressive malignancies. We previously reported the presence of vasculogenic mimicry in osteosarcoma patients. The mechanistic basis for osteosarcoma VM remains unclear.

View SamplesMetformin is effective for prevention or treatment of various tumors. There are a lot of studies on the underlying mechanisms of metformin as respect to its anti-tumor action.
Metformin suppressed the proliferation of LoVo cells and induced a time-dependent metabolic and transcriptional alteration.

View SamplesADMA is an endogenous metabolite, which is elevated in cancer patients. Previously, we observed that ADMA treatment attenuated serum starvation-induced apoptosis in LoVo cells. However, the biological functions of ADMA in tumor cells are largely unknown. In current study, we used microarray and untargeted metabolic profiling to investigate the global impacts of ADMA on LoVo cells.

View SamplesThere is still a big debate about the correlation between melanosis coli (MC) and carcinoma. We used HTA2.0 to investigate the expression changes of lncRNAs and mRNAs in human colonic mucosa with or without MC and try to investigate MC from gene aspect, eventually to demonstrate whether theres a certain correlation between MC and carcinoma.

View SamplesThe prognosis of pancreatic cancer is still very poor, how to detect pancreatic cancer from high-risk group in an early stage is essential for improving its long-time survival. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore specific biomarkers that can differentiate pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes from type-2 diabetes for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. In the current study, we used global gene transcription analysis with affymetrix gene chip to identify genes specifically expressed in pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus from peripheral blood samples in stead of from tissue samples.
