Molecular Changes of Lung Malignancy in HIV Infection

To evaluate the molecular changes of lung malignancy in HIV infection, we analyzed the differential gene expression profiles and screened the early detection biomarkers of HIV-associated lung cancer using Affymetrix arrays. RNA was for transcriptomic profiles analysis in the HIV lung cancer tumor tissue samples from 3 patients with AC and 1 patient with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) including 3 pairs of tumor/adjacent normal tissue paraffin specimens and 1 pair of tumor/adjacent normal fresh tissue samples. Identification of genes expressed in HIV associated lung cancer in two groups (tumor/adjacent normal tissue) with four replications per group.
