Expression profiles of lncRNAs in bladder cancer. Homo sapiens

To explore non-coding and coding expression profiling and their biological functions in bladder cancer, we surveyed the lncRNA and mRNA expression signature of bladder cancer and para-cancer tissues using microarray for four patients. Thousands of significantly changed lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified. Our findings provide a novel perspective on transcriptional group and lay the foundation for future research of potential roles of lncRNAs in bladder carcinoma. Overall design: Total RNA from four pairs of human bladder carcinomas and matched para-carcinomas were used for microarray analysis.
