Project description:Mammary gland cells were isolated from 5-8 week old FVB mice and allowed to proliferate as undifferentiated mammospheres in the presence of growth factors (bFGF and EGF). Comparison of the gene expression profiles of undifferentiated mammospheres vs. mammospheres that were allowed to differentiate for 6 days by the removal of growth factors will help to identify genes that are implicated in the maintenance of the mammary gland stem cell compartment. Experiment Overall Design: this experiment include 2 samples and 12 replicates

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of TSU68, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRβ) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), on colon cancer liver metastasis and to test the hypothesis that TSU68 modulates the microenvironment in the liver before the formation of metastasis. Experiment Overall Design: The human colon cancer TK-4 was implanted orthotopically into cecal walls of 6-week-old male BALB/c nu/nu mice (Clea Japan, Tokyo, Japan). The animals were treated with TSU68 (400 mg/kg/day, twice-daily, p.o.) or vehicle from 7 days after orthotopic implantation. After one week of drug administration, livers were removed and total RNA was extracted. Experiment Overall Design: We established four different groups of mice; non-tumor-bearing and treated with vehicle alone (NT-Co), non-tumor-bearing and treated with TSU68 (NT-TSU), tumor-bearing and treated with vehicle (T-Co), and tumor-bearing and treated with TSU68 (T-TSU). NT-Co, T-Co and T-TSU group were applied to microarray analysis.

Project description:Neurotrophins are growth factors that are known to have a role in promoting cell survival and differentiation. The focus of the current study is to examine the role of neurotrophins in regulating ovarian primordial follicle development. Ovaries from 4-day old rats were placed into organ culture and cultured for 10 days in the absence or presence of neurotrophin-3 (NT3), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or nerve growth factor (NGF). Treatment of ovaries with NT3 resulted in a significant (P<0.01) increase in primordial follicle development (i.e. primordial to primary follicle transition). Treatment with BDNF at high doses of 100â250 ng/ml also significantly (P<0.01) increased primordial follicle development, but NGF had no effect. Immunohistochemical studies determined that NT3 was present in granulosa cells, interstitial tissue, and in the oocytes of primordial and primary follicles. The NT3 receptor NTRK3 was present in oocytes at all stages of development. Analysis of ovaries that contain predominantly primordial follicles demonstrated the transcripts for NT3, NTRK3, NGF, and the BDNF/neurotrophin-4 (NT4) receptor NTRK2 are expressed, while BDNF, NT4, and the NGF receptor NTRK1 are not detectable. Inhibition of the NTRK3 receptor with the tyrophostin AG 879 resulted in oocyte death and a significant (P<0.01) reduction in follicle pool size. Inhibition of the NTRK receptors with K252a slowed primordial to primary follicle transition. A microarray analysis demonstrated that a small number of genes were differentially expressed after NT3 treatment. Observations indicate that the neurotrophin NT3, acting through the NTRK3 receptor in oocytes, promotes the primordial to primary follicle transition. Reproduction (2009) 138, pp. 697-707 We used microarrays to determine genes expressed differentially between control and NT3 (neurotrophin-3) treated P4 ovary. RNA samples from 3 control groups are compared to 3 NT3 treated ovary groups.

Project description:The process of angiogenesis is under complex regulation in adult organisms, particularly as it often occurs in an inflammatory post-wound environment. As such, there are many impacting factors that will regulate the generation of new blood vessels which include not only pro-angiogenic growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, but also angiostatic factors. During initial post-wound hemostasis, a large initial bolus of platelet factor 4 is released into localized areas of damage prior to progression of wound healing toward tissue homeostasis. Due to its early presence and high concentration, the angiostatic chemokine platelet factor 4, which can induce endothelial anoikis, can strongly affect angiogenesis. In our work, we explored signaling crosstalk interactions between vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet factor 4 using phosphotyrosine-enriched mass spectrometry methods on human dermal microvascular endothelial cells cultured under conditions facilitating migratory sprouting into collagen gel matrices. We developed new methods to enable mass spectrometry-based phosphorylation analysis of primary cells cultured on collagen gels, and quantified signaling pathways over the first 48 hours of treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor in the presence or absence of platelet factor 4. By observing early and late signaling dynamics in tandem with correlation network modeling, we found that platelet factor 4 has significant crosstalk with vascular endothelial growth factor by modulating cell migration and polarization pathways, centered around P38α MAPK, Src family kinases Fyn and Lyn, along with FAK. Interestingly, we found EphA2 correlational topology to strongly involve key migration-related signaling nodes after introduction of platelet factor 4, indicating an influence of the angiostatic factor on this ambiguous but generally angiogenic signal in this complex environment.

Project description:This study sought to provide a novel ex vivo model for analyzing healing kinetics and gene expression of primary human gingival fibroblasts (hGF) within collagen scaffolds. Sponge type and gel type scaffolds with and without platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF) were assessed in an hGF containing matrix. Four samples were analyzed; gel w/ and w/o PDGF and scaffold w/ and w/o PDGF
