Project description:This is a stage-matched case control study. Cases with clinical diagnosis of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) were selected after reviewing all medical records of the 440 FNA samples. IBC was defined as signs of erythema and edema (peau d’orange) involving at least one third of the skin and rapid clinical presentation. Presence of tumor emboli in the dermal lymphatics of the involved skin in the pathology report was not required for inclusion as IBC. Controls were selected to match for T stage, all T4a-c tumors in the data set were included as controls. IBC breast cancer are all T4d breast cancer. We examined if gene expression differences exist between IBC and stage-matched Non-IBC stratified according to hormone receptor and HER2 status.

Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying ethanol action we have developed an assay system to study sensitivity and fast and chronic tolerance to the sedative effects of ethanol. Flies developed fast ethanol tolerance after single exposure to 50% of ethanol vapor for 40 min. Flies can also develope chronic ethanol tolerance after 5x 40 min exposure to 50% ethanol vapor interspersed with 4x 80 min exposure to 10% ethanol vapor. We used microarray analysis to identify genes involved in the development of fast and chronic ethanol tolerance in Drosophila. More than 600 hundred genes were found to have changed their expression level in response to different ethanol treatment. Among these genes, Homer was picked for further study and is demonstrated that its expression in ellipsoid body is critical for the normal sensitivity and fast toleance to ethanol. Keywords: time course Whole heads of 3 groups of Drosophila were separated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. These 3 groups of flies were treated with different ethanol treatment. Naive group of flies (GSM101531, GSM101532, GSM101533, GSM101534, GSM101535, GSM101536) received only 50 min of humidified air. Fast group of flies (GSM101537, GSM101538, GSM101539, GSM101540, GSM101541, GSM101542) received humidified air for 50 min followed by a single exposure of 50% ethanol vapor for 40 min. Chronic group of flies (GSM101543, GSM101544, GSM101545, GSM101546, GSM101547, GSM101548) ) received humidified air for 50 min followed by 5 exposures of 50% ethanol vapor for 40 min.

Project description:Formation of the complex vertebrate nervous system begins when pluripotent cells of the early embryo are directed to acquire a neural fate. Although cell intrinsic controls play an important role in this process, the molecular nature of this regulation is not well defined. Here we assessed the role for Geminin, a nuclear protein expressed in embryonic cells, in neural fate acquisition from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. While Geminin knockdown does not affect the ability of ES cells to maintain or exit pluripotency, we found that it significantly impairs their ability to acquire a neural fate. Conversely, Geminin overexpression promotes neural gene expression, even in the presence of growth factor signaling that antagonizes neural transcriptional responses. These data demonstrate that Geminin’s activity contributes to mammalian neural cell fate acquisition. We investigated the mechanistic basis of this phenomenon and found that Geminin maintains a hyperacetylated and open chromatin conformation at neural genes. Interestingly, recombinant Geminin protein also rapidly alters chromatin acetylation and accessibility even when Geminin is combined with nuclear extract and chromatin in vitro. These findings define a novel activity for Geminin in regulation of chromatin structure. Together, these data support a role for Geminin as a cell intrinsic regulator of neural fate acquisition that promotes expression of neural genes by regulating chromatin accessibility and histone acetylation. Mouse embryonic stem cells were differentiated for two days in N2B27 medium, with or without Doxycycline-inducible shRNAmir knockdown of Geminin and compared by microarray. Three independent experiments were conducted, using two different mouse embryonic stem cell lines for Doxycycline-inducible knockdown of Geminin. The two ES lines express unique shRNAmir sequences targeting Geminin (shRNAmir #9 and #11) to control for off-target effects.

Project description:Multiple-condition experiment was desinged to be any number of conditions in an experiment without replicate observations for microarray and used to identify genes differentially expressed between different pairs of conditions (treatments).<br> In this study we used breast cancer stable cell lines for overexpressing and silencing annexin A1 (ANXA1), which belongs to a family of -dependent phospholipid binding proteins and are preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. Cell lines overexpressing ANXA1 (MDA_MB-453/cDNA) were generated by introducing retroviral vectors containing ANXA1 cDNA (pBabe/ANXA1 cDNA) into breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-453 (a low expressor of ANXA1). Breast cancer cell line BT-474, a high expressor of ANXA1, was infected with ANXA1 siRNA-plasmid viruses to knockdown ANAXAI expressor (BT-474/siRNA) where nucleotides corresponding to siRNA were synthesized and ligated into the pLNCX retroviral vector [35,36]. We also used a pLNCX/U6 empty vector to infect BT-474 and obtained an empty vector expressor. Therefore, 5 breast cancer cell lines (MDA_MB-453, MDA_MB-453/cDNA, BT-474, BT-474/siRNA, and BT-474/U6) are attributed to two genotypes: MDA_MB-453 and BT-474. MCE was performed for microarray analysis with these 5 breast cancer cell lines, that is, only one sample was drawn from each breast cancer cell line.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived human hepatocyte-like cells (iHeps) could provide a powerful tool for studying the mechanisms underlying human liver development and disease, testing the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals across different patients (i.e. personalized medicine), and enabling cell-based therapies in the clinic. However, current in vitro protocols that rely upon growth factors and extracellular matrices (ECM) alone yield iHeps with low levels of liver functions relative to adult primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). Moreover, these low hepatic functions in iHeps are difficult to maintain for prolonged times (weeks to months) in culture. Here, we engineered a micropatterned co-culture (iMPCC) platform in a multi-well format that, in contrast to conventional confluent cultures, significantly enhanced the functional maturation and longevity of iHeps in culture for 4 weeks in vitro when benchmarked against multiple donors of PHHs. In particular, iHeps were micropatterned onto collagen-coated domains of empirically optimized dimensions, surrounded by 3T3-J2 murine embryonic fibroblasts, and then sandwiched with a thin layer of ECM gel (Matrigel™). We assessed iHep maturity via global gene expression profiles, hepatic polarity, secretion of albumin and urea, basal CYP450 activities, phase-II conjugation, drug-mediated CYP450 induction, and drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Conclusion: Controlling both homotypic interactions between iHeps and heterotypic interactions with stromal fibroblasts significantly matures iHep functions and maintains them for several weeks in culture. In the future, iMPCCs could prove useful for drug screening, studying molecular mechanisms underlying iHep differentiation, modeling liver diseases, and integration into human-on-a-chip systems being designed to assess multi-organ responses to compounds. We used Affymetrix microarrays to profile the global gene expression of co-culture stabilized iHeps (iMPCCs) relative to freshly isolated and co-culture stabilized primary human hepatocytes (2 donors). To assess the transcriptomic stability of iHeps in iMPCCs, RNA was extracted following 9 and 21 days of culture for hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. The hepatic maturation state of iHeps was assessed by comparing gene expression against microarrays containing data from two primary human hepatocyte donors, both following hepatocyte isolation (day 0) and after stabilization in the micropatterened co-culture platform (day 6 and day 42 MPCCs), as previously described.

Project description:Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer, but understanding of the unique aspects of IBC biology lags far behind that of other breast cancers. One of the key barriers in advancing understanding of the molecular determinants of IBC has been the lack of adequate models for this disease that presents with distinct clinical and histopathological features. We describe here a novel human triple-negative IBC cell line, A3250, that recapitulates key features of human IBC in a mouse orthotopic model including skin erythema, diffuse tumor growth, high stroma to tumor ratio, dermal lymphatic invasion, and extensive lymph node and distant metastases. Tumor-associated macrophages were particularly enriched, and A3250 cells expressed very high levels of CCL2, a macrophage recruiting chemokine in the absence of detectable levels of its cognate receptor. CCL2 knockdown led to a striking reduction in macrophage densities, tumor cell proliferation, and metastasis in vivo. These results identify tumor-derived CCL2 as a key factor driving macrophage expansion and indirectly, the growth of A3250 IBC cells in vivo. Comparison of the A3250 chemokine expression profile with human IBC expression data sets revealed sharing of this profile across different IBC subtypes as well as enrichment for macrophage expression. Thus, this human IBC model provides a unique opportunity to uncover novel aspects of IBC biology, and to test novel therapies for this deadly disease.
