- 在瘤学瘤学.
背景情况:
- 乳腺癌 (BC) 有各种各样的亚型,影响免疫力,预后和治疗.
- 非侵入性血液检查提供了有关癌症期间系统免疫力的见解.
- 在外周血液中识别免疫生物标志物可以帮助检测BC.
研究的目的:
- 分析BC患者和健康妇女的外周血液单核细胞 (PBMC) 中的转录异形表达.
- 使用异型级生物信息学识别潜在的BC免疫生物标志物.
- 调查已识别的异型与临床病理特征的关联.
主要方法:
- 从BC患者和健康对照对PBMC进行RNA测序和异型水平生物信息学.
- 使用定量逆转录PCR (qRT-PCR) 验证异型表达.
- 在较大的队列中与临床病理学数据进行相关性分析.
主要成果:
- 在BC患者的PBMC中,与健康人群相比,观察到ENST00000374459RASGEF1A异型的显著减少 (p < 0.001).

The Ras Gene
6.2K
The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.

Ribosome Profiling
3.5K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
