About
Jialei Gong has made foundational contributions to the molecular biology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), with a particular focus on identifying tissue-specific and differentially expressed genes in nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues. In their landmark 2003 study, which has garnered 71 citations, Gong employed suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) combined with cDNA microarray technology to isolate genes uniquely expressed in nasopharyngeal epithelium and to uncover those dysregulated in NPC. This work provided critical early insights into the molecular landscape of NPC, highlighting key genes that may serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. By comparing nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue against a panel of other human tissues—including esophagus, lung, liver, heart, stomach, spleen, skeletal muscle, and kidney—Gong’s research established a foundational resource for understanding tissue-specific gene expression in the nasopharynx. Their methodological approach remains influential in cancer genomics, demonstrating the power of subtractive hybridization for discovering disease-relevant transcripts. Gong’s work continues to inform studies on NPC pathogenesis and the search for early diagnostic markers.
