Transcriptome-wide maps of subcutaneous adipose tissues and visceral adipose tissues in cancer-associated cachexia patients

In order to identify differentially expressed RNAs among subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue of cachxtic patients, we recruited three colon cancer patients with remarkable weight lose. We harvested adipose tissue from abdomen of patients at time of surgery and completed transcriptome sequencing using Illumina platform. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues of 3 cancer-associated cachexia patients.
