背景情况:
- 结直肠病变中的免疫表达概况提供了对抗瘤免疫力和衰老的见解.
- 从异质病变中分析低质量的RNA需要优化方法.
- 一个基于NanoString nCounter的方法被开发用于质量控制,规范化和FFPE样本的差异表达分析.
研究的目的:
- 开发和评估一种基于NanoString nCounter的方法,用于在异质结直肠病变中分析免疫基因表达.
- 为优化FFPE样本的质量控制,规范化和差异表达分析.
- 为了比较不同规范化方法的性能.
主要方法:
- 一个结肠特异性的阳性控制基因组被纳入,以尽量减少样本排除.
- 在100个结直肠病变样本 (SSL,TV,TA) 上使用277基因免疫小组评估了三个正常化方法 (RUVg,NSDiff,nSolver).
- 使用FDR校正的q值评估了I型错误率,计算效率和基因显著性.
主要成果:
- 与标准方法相比,结肠特异性QC集减少了63%的样本排除.
- 所有方法都确定了在状状病变 (SSL) 和管状腺瘤 (TA) 之间差异表达的基因.
- RUVg和NanoStringDiff (NSDiff) 检测到管状/状腺瘤 (TVs) 和TA之间的显著差异性表达,表明免疫基因表达不足. 与RUVg相比,NSDiff显示出更高的灵敏度,但也显示出更高的I型错误率和更高的计算需求.
结论:

General Transcription Factors
5.6K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

Tissue Homogenization and Cell Lysis
8.0K
Tissue homogenization involves disintegrating tissue architecture and lysing cells, and is an early step in isolating and analyzing cellular components. The method used for homogenization depends on the sample type, the amount of sample available, the analyte to be obtained, and the sensitivity of the method. These methods are broadly classified as mechanical and non-mechanical methods.
