Effects of DKK1 on gene expression on melanocytes

ABSTRACT: Dickkopf 1 (DKK1), which is expressed at high mRNA levels by fibroblasts in the dermis of human skin on the palms and soles, inhibits the function and proliferation of melanocytes in the epidermis of those areas via the suppression of beta-catenin and microphthalmia-associated transcriptor factor (MITF). In this study, we investigated the effects of DKK1 on melanocyte gene expression profiles and on Wnt signaling pathways using DNA microarray technology. Paired cDNA samples, labeled by cyanine 3- and cyanine 5-dUTP incorporation (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) during reverse transcription (Qiagen), were hybridized simultaneously with one oligo-DNA chip (HS-Operon V2vB2.2p13) as per NCI in-house protocol (available at http://mach1.nci.nih.gov/). Two fluorescent intensities of the oligo-DNA chip were scanned using a microarray scanner (GenePix 4000A, Axon Instruments, Inc., Molecular Device Corp., Sunnyvale, CA).

Met Expression Signature in Hepatocytes

Project description:To identify HGF/Met regulated genes, we performed expression microarray analysis after inducible activation of Met receptor in primary cultures of hepatocytes established from wild-type control (Alb-Cre +/-) and Met conditional knockout mice (Alb-Cre +/-; Met Fl/Fl). Total RNA was isolated from untreated hepatocyte cultures as well as from cultures treated with 50 ng/ml of HGF for 0.5, 2, 12 or 24 hours. RNA collected from these experiments was converted to fluorescently labeled cDNA and used for hybridizations of oligonucleotide microarrays. All experiments were repeated in triplicates. Total RNA from pooled wild-type mouse hepatocytes was used as universal reference and all hybridizations were repeated following a reverse flourescing.

Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma study

Project description:Global gene expression patterns of 91 human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) were analyzed to define the molecular characteristics of the tumors and to test the prognostic value of the expression profiles. Total RNAs were isolated from frozen liver tissue using CsCl density gradient centrifugation methods. Total RNA from 18 normal livers were pooled and used as reference in entire microarray experiments. To obtain gene expression profile data from human HCC, 20 Î¼g of total RNAs from tissues were used to drive fluorescently (Cy-5 or Cy-3) labeled cDNA. At least two hybridizations were carried out for each tissue using dye-swap strategy to eliminate dye labeling bias. Unsupervised classification methods revealed two distinctive subclasses of HCC that are highly associated with survival of the patients. This association was validated by five independent supervised learning methods. Genes most strongly associated with survival were identified by using the Cox proportional hazards survival analysis. This approach identified a limited number of genes that accurately predicted the length of survival and provides new molecular insight into the pathogenesis of HCC. Tumors from the low survival subclass have strong cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis gene expression signatures. In addition, the low survival subclass displayed higher expression of genes involved in ubiquitination and histone modification suggesting an etiological involvement of these processes in accelerating the progression of HCC. The biological differences identified in the HCC subclasses should provide an attractive source for the development of therapeutic targets (e.g. HIF1a) for selective treatment(s) of HCC patients.

A distinct and unique M2 transcriptional program expressed by tumor-associated macrophages

Project description:Description This series contains microarrays for tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) purified from 8 week old male C57/BL6N mice, 3 weeks after tumor implantation into the left hind limb. Peritoneal exudates cells (PECs) were also harvested from control C57/BL6N mice. The resulting adherent populations were maintained in culture and resting TAMs and PECs were treated for 4 hours with 100 ng/mL of LPS to promote macrophage activation. RNA isolation and cDNA microarrays: Total RNA was isolated from approximately 20x10e6 PEC and TAM cells using standard Trizol purification protocols (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Microarrays were manufactured at the NCI, Laboratory of Molecular Technology (Frederick MD). The 10,368 Mm UniGem2 set was printed on poly-lysine coated glass slides and hybridized according to NCI facility protocols. All slides were scanned using as Axon GenePix 4000 scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster city, CA) and resulting data was uploaded for analysis to the mAdb microarray database (http://madb.nci.nih.gov/). Keywords = tumor associated macrophage

Intrathymic T-cell selection

Project description:Comparisons between untreated primary cells T-cell precursors from the thymus. CD69- thymocytes are from Zap70-deficent mice and are >95% CD4+CD8+. These cells fail to generate intrathymic TCR signals as a result of their lacking Zap70 molecules, and are thus representative of "preselection" CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. The CD69hi population comes from wildtype mice and is heterogeneous for CD4 and CD8 expression. These cells have been intrathymically TCR-signaled and are undergoing selection.

Plasmodium falciparum W2/Dd2 Day 8 gametocytes

Project description:The sexual stages are vital phases in malaria parasite transmission and are the targets of various interventions such as transmission blocking vaccines. The molecular mechanisms underlying sexual development, however, remain poorly understood. We report mappping of a determinant previously linked to a male gametocyte development defect in the P. falciparum Dd2 parasite to an 82 kb region on chromosome 12. In order to find a critical gene in this region, we compared gene expression pattern in sexual stage of the parasite between Dd2 and its normal gametocyte-producing ancestor W2 clones. The region contains a sexual stage specific gene (pfmdv 1) that is expressed substantially at a lower level in the Dd2 than in W2 parasite. Disruption of pfmdv 1 results in a dramatic reduction in mature gametocytes, especially male gametocytes, with the majority of sexually committed parasites arrested at stage-I. The pfmdv-1 knockout parasites show an enlarged nucleus, often with separation of the inner and outer nuclear membranes and presence of multi-membrane vesicles in red blood cell cytoplasm. Mosquito infectivity of the knockout parasites is also greatly reduced, but not completely lost, suggesting presence of compensatory mechanisms in the sexual development pathways. Data include Day 8 gametocytes of male defective Dd2 and parental W2 clones of Plasmodium falciparum. The series includes three biological repeats. Keywords: repeat sample

Mouse Hepatocellular Carcinoma Study

Project description:Genetically modified mice have been extensively used for analyzing the molecular events that occur during the tumor development. However, in many cases, if not all, it is uncertain to what extent the mouse models reproduce features observed in the corresponding human conditions. This is due largely to lack of precise methods for direct and comprehensive comparison at the molecular level of the mouse and human tumors. We used global gene expression patterns of 68 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from 7 different mouse models and 91 human HCC from pre-defined subclasses to obtain direct comparison of the molecular features of mouse and human HCC. Total RNAs were isolated from frozen liver tissue using CsCl density gradient centrifugation methods. Total RNA from the livers of 10 wild type mice were pooled and used as reference in entire microarray experiments. To obtain gene expression profile data from four transgenic HCC mouse models, 20 Î¼g of total RNAs from tissues were used to drive fluorescently (Cy-5 or Cy-3) labeled cDNA. At least two hybridizations were carried out for each tissue using dye-swap strategy to eliminate dye labeling bias.
