Project description:This study examined the effect of mutant PIK3CAH1047R expression in mammary subsets of preneoplastic mammary glands from K8-creERT2/PIK3CA H1047R mice Mammary cell subpopulations were isolated from K8-creERT2/PIK3CAH1047R and K8-creERT2 control animals 4 weeks after activation of PIK3CA H1047R transgene expression by Tamoxifen injection. Pooled mammary glands of 2-3 estrus-synchronized mice per genotype were sorted in 3 independent sortings and used for microarray analysis (20 samples in total).
Project description:This study examined the effect of mutant PIK3CAH1047R expression in mammary subsets of preneoplastic mammary glands from Lgr5-creERT2/PIK3CA H1047R mice Mammary cell subpopulations were isolated from Lgr5-creERT2/PIK3CA H1047R and Lgr5-creERT2 control animals 4 weeks after activation of PIK3CA H1047R transgene expression by Tamoxifen injection. Pooled mammary glands of 2-3 estrus-synchronized mice per genotype were sorted in 3 independent sortings and used for microarray analysis (24 samples in total).
Project description:This study examined the gene expression profile of mammary tumors derived from Lgr5- and K8-positive cell-of-origins Mammary tumors and reference mammary glands from control mice were collected, cryo-homogenized, total RNA was isolated and analyzed by microarray (total 25 samples).
Project description:Tumor Associated Calcium Signal Transducer 2 (TACSTD2) is one of the cancer-related genes whose overexpression correlates with tumor progression and invasiveness in human colorectal cancer. TACSTD2 gene encodes for a transmembrane glycoprotein TROP2, which is implicated in altered expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and may play a role in metastasis formation. To determine how TROP2 affects aberrant tumor cell signaling, we isolated early adenoma cells from the mouse small intestine 6 weeks after disruption of the Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene, one of the first steps in the development of colorectal cancer in human. We performed expression profiling of Trop2+ and Trop2- tumor cells and, in addition, non-tumor cells of the intestinal epithelium, including predominantly differentiated cells.
Project description:The aim of the experiment was to produce a mammary stem cell gene signature based on very high purity isolation of mouse mammary stem cells. Gene expression in the stem cells would be compared to gene expression in other cell types from the mammary epithelium to identify genes which may be important for regulation of mammary stem cell function.
Project description:We investigated genome-wide analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) distribution in mouse intestinal stem and differentiated cells using hydroxyMethylated DNA immunoprecipitation (hMeDIP) followed by sequencing. Genomic DNA from mouse intestinal stem (Lgr5+) and villus differentiated cells were sonicated, immunoprecipitated by a 5hmC antibody, and sequenced in order to identify differential hydroxymethylated regions and genes.
Project description:The introduction of GFP into the Dll1 locus has made it possible to isolate and study primary intestinal Dll1 positive cells, which constitute the secretory cell precursors of the intestine. Applying DNA array technology, we profiled the RNA changes of FACS-sorted Dll1_high/CD24_low, Dll1_high/CD24_medium and Dll1_high/CD24_high cells . We used cell fractions of intestines from Dll1-EGFP-ires-CreERT2 mice, expressing GFP under the control of the Dll1 promoter. RNA was isolated from three FACS sorted cell populations: all are expressing Dll1-GFP at high levels, but are expressing different levels of Cd24 (low, medium and high). For this set two biological replicates were generated. One additional fraction was isolated from Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2 mice, expressing GFP under the control of the Lgr5 promoter. This cell fraction contains intestinal stem cells. Differentially labelled cRNA from these cell fractions was hybridized against a reference (RNA isolated from whole intestine) on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F).

Project description:Inactivating TP53 mutations lead to a loss of function of p53, but can also often result in oncogenic gain-of-function (GOF) of mutant p53 (mutp53) proteins which promote tumor development and progression. The GOF activities of TP53 mutations are well documented, but the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Here, we study the mutp53 interactome with IP-MS.
