At a Glance
¶ The purpose of the research was to assess the suitability of buccal cells as an epithelial source of tissue to examine the effects of smoking on the epigenome, and to test whether these effects are also seen in smoke-related epithelial cancers.
¶ Smoking is associated with widespread changes in the DNA methylation landscape of buccal cells.
¶ Some smoking-associated DNA methylation changes are common to buccal and blood tissue, but buccal cells exhibit significantly more changes than blood cells.
¶ Smoking-associated DNA methylation changes in buccal cells correlate with DNA methylation changes in epithelial cancers and do so most strongly in smoke-related epithelial cancer.

Reading Notes

Wiki  Biological action (2015/05/17)
In many Asian cultures, the areca nut is chewed along with betel leaf to obtain a stimulating effect. Arecoline is the primary active ingredient responsible for the central nervous system effects of the areca nut. Arecoline has been compared to nicotine; however, nicotine acts primarily on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Arecoline is known to be a partial agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine M1, M2, M3 receptors and M4 which is believed to be the primary cause of its parasympathetic effects (such as pupillary constriction, bronchial constriction, etc.).

OSCC Cell Line STR information 20150312 更新版
由 sufang 在 一, 03/30/2015 - 08:45 發表 Oral Cancer OSCC Cell Line STR analysis

Dear all,

更新oral cancer相關細胞株之STR資訊
共有16個細胞株, 其中DOK, FaDu, HOK, HSC-3, KB, OEC-M1, SCC-15, SCC-9, Tu-183(共9株)有送件STR的資訊(詳如附件)
須請大家注意的資訊如下:
1. HSC-3, 於Dr.郭靜娟's lab的新HSC-3為真, 請非此來源者把舊的細胞扔了吧! (p.s Dr. 李岳倫於2014年7月及9月分別定的STR結果同新HSC-3, 推測亦為可用細胞株)
2. KB, 於Dr.郭靜娟's lab定STR結果為HeLa細胞, ATCC/JCRB資料庫也證明KB為HeLa. 請勿使用此細胞株!
3. SCC-15, Dr.李岳倫's lab 於2014年9月及10月分別定的STR結果皆與SAS細胞株相符(90.9% match), 使用此細胞株請小心!
4. Tu-183, 於Dr.江士昇's lab於2014年12月所定STR結果未比對到現今資料庫中任何細胞株, 推測可能為可用細胞株. 但Dr. 江提供資訊:expression pattern與預期不同, 大家使用此細胞株請小心!

以上,
如有問題或錯誤的地方, 敬請不吝指正! 謝謝!

敬祝 研究順利

嬿如 敬上

ds-cDNA prep for gene fusion detection

3/6/2015 DR 提醒
1: Daw-Yang seems to use Clontech ds-cDNA prep for single cell Seq + Tagmentation
2: There is no way to add specific primer in this way...

According to Daw-Yang:  I will use Nexera XT for DNA prep.
Figure 1 AMP for targeted RNA and DNA sequencing (pdf 4231). 
Double-stranded cDNA (dscDNA) synthesis starts with total nucleic acid or RNA from fresh or FFPE material without ribosomal RNA or genomic DNA(gDNA) depletion. Solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI)-cleaned double-stranded cDNA or fragmented genomic DNA is processed with end repair and dA tailing, directly followed by ligation with a half-functional adapter. SPRI-cleaned, ligated fragments are amplified with 10–14 cycles of multiplex PCR1 using gene-specific primers (GSP1 pool) containing a PCR multiplexing tag (brown) and a primer complementary to a portion of the universal ligated adapter (short green). An unknown fusion partner or target sequence is indicated by a question mark. SPRI-cleaned PCR1 amplicons are amplified with a second round of 10-cycle multiplex PCR2 using a combination of GSP2 pool nested gene-specific primers (3' downstream of GSP1), which are tagged with the second adapter sequence specific for Ion Torrent (black-blue) or Illumina (black-red, subsequently tagged with an indexing primer (red-orange-purple)), and a second nested primer against the ligated universal adapter (long green). After a final SPRI cleanup, the target amplicon library is ready for quantitation, downstream clonal amplification and sequencing. 
 
 

Fluidigm 4-Primer Amplicon Tagging
The Access Array 4-primer amplicon tagging scheme is based on a step-out four primer PCR strategy where tagged target-specific (TS) primer pairs are combined with sample-specific primer pairs that contain a barcoding sequence and the adaptor sequences used by Illumina sequencing systems. By incorporating sample-specific barcodes, all 2,304 PCR products generated from a 48.48 Access Array Integrated Fluidic Circuit (IFC) are unique and can be pooled together to run in a single sequencing experiment.
