Project description:we report a novel nanomedicine (Gd@C82(OH)22 ) effectively inhibit human breast tumor growth by antiangiogenesis in vivo. To further identify which angiogenic factor(s) were affected on mRNA level, the "RT² Profiler™ PCR Array Mouse Angiogenesis (APMM-024, SuperArray Bioscience Corporation)" was used. Keywords: nanomedicine, Gd@C82(OH)22, angiogenesis, MCF-7, breast cancer In the experimental group, the tumor bearing mice were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) [Gd@C82(OH)22]n saline solution once a day at the dose of 2.5mM/kg, after the tumor tissue implantation into the animal for 7 days, continuing until the mice were sacrificed. The 0.9% saline soultion was used as control. At the end of the experiment, parts of the tumor tissue was collected, and further be analyzed by PCR-array.

Project description:Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a critical transcription factor in cancer. However, while the protein-coding target genes of STAT3 have been extensively studied, the microRNA target genes of STAT3 are less understood. MicroRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs that regulate messenger RNAs through translational inhibition and transcript degradation. They have been found to be involved in all aspects of cancer biology. Given the roles of both STAT3 and miRNAs in cancer, the function of STAT3 as a transcription factor, and the dearth of known STAT3 miRNA targets, our goal was to identify novel STAT3 miRNA targets relevant to cancer. To do so, we engineered MCF-10A cells with doxycycline-inducible expression of STAT3C. STAT3C is a constitutively-active mutant version of STAT3. Although STAT3 can be activated by various growth factors and kinases, other pathways can be activated as well, which would confound analysis of the results. Thus, the advantage of STAT3C is that it allowed specific and focused activation of STAT3 alone, and this screen represents the first genome-wide survey of miRNA expression changes associated specifically with STAT3 activity. MCF-10A, a non-transformed breast epithelial cell line, was chosen because STAT3C has been reported to be sufficient to cause their neoplastic transformation. Therefore, we reasoned that analysis of STAT3C’s effects in MCF-10A cells would be especially informative for STAT3-regulated miRNAs relevant to cancer. As a result of our study, we identified previously-known as well as novel miRNA targets of STAT3. Doxycycline-inducible MCF-10A cells were seeded, and then untreated (grown in standard growth media alone) or treated with 2?g/ml doxycycline for 48hr. Each condition was performed in biological triplicate (labeled A, B, and C), for a total of 6 samples. Total RNA was harvested and submitted to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory. MicroRNA expression profiling was performed using TaqMan Low-Density Arrays (TLDA), human miRNA version 2.0A and version 3.0B cards (Applied Biosystems).

Project description:Circulating microRNAs (miRNA) are relatively stable in plasma and are a new class of disease biomarkers. Here we present evidence that human high-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports endogenous miRNAs and delivers them to recipient cells with functional targeting capabilities. Highly-purified fractions of human HDL contain small RNAs, and the HDL-miRNA profile from normal subjects is significantly different than familial hypercholesterolemia subjects. miRNAs were demonstrated to associate with both native and reconstituted HDL particles, and reconstituted HDL injected into mice retrieved distinct miRNA profiles from normal and atherogenic models. Cellular export of miRNAs to HDL was demonstrated to be regulated by neutral sphingomyelinase. HDL-mediated delivery of miRNAs to recipient cells was demonstrated to be scavenger receptor BI-dependent. Furthermore, HDL delivery of both exogenous and endogenous miRNAs resulted in the direct targeting of mRNA reporters. Notably, HDL-miRNA from atherosclerotic subjects induced differential gene expression, with significant loss of conserved mRNA targets in cultured hepatocytes. Collectively, these observations suggest that HDL participates in a novel mechanism of intercellular communication involving the transport and delivery of miRNAs.

Project description:The Cancer associated Sm-like (CaSm) oncogene is overexpressed in 87% of human pancreatic tumor samples and CaSm knockdown has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in murine models of pancreatic cancer. Evidence indicates that CaSm modulates mRNA degradation; however, its target genes and the mechanisms by which CaSm promotes pancreatic cancer remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the CaSm overexpression alters several hallmarks of cancer â including transformation, proliferation, chemoresistance, and metastasis. Doxycycline-induced CaSm expression enhanced proliferation and both anchorage-dependent and -independent growth of the human Panc-1 cells in vitro. CaSm induction decreased gemcitabine-induced cytotoxicity and altered the expression of apoptotic regulation genes, including Bad, E2F1, and Bcl-XL. CaSm-overexpressing Panc-1 cells were 2-fold more migratory and 4-fold more invasive than the driver controls and demonstrated characteristics of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition such as morphological changes and decreased E-cadherin expression. CaSm induction resulted in changes in RNA expression of metastasis-associated genes such as MMP1, SerpinB5, uPAR, and Slug. Using a murine model of metastatic pancreatic cancer, injection of CaSm-induced Panc-1 cells resulted in a higher abundance of hepatic metastatic lesions. Overall, CaSm overexpression contributed to a more aggressive cancer phenotype in Panc-1 cells, further supporting the use of CaSm as a therapeutic target against pancreatic cancer. Tet-on driver and tet-on CaSm Panc-1 cells were grown with and without doxycycline (1 μg/mL) for 4 weeks. Levels of CaSm expression were confirmed using RT-PCR (Supplementary Figure 2a). RNA isolation was performed using RNeasy Plus kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) following the manufacturerâs protocols. The Hollings Cancer Center Tissue Biorepository core facility confirmed RNA quality using the 18S/28S Ratio Integrity Number using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA); RNA with a RIN of 10 was used for further analysis (Supplementary Figure 2b). Complement DNA synthesis was performed using RT2 First Strand kit and RT2 SYBR Green qPCR master mix was used for the microarray master mix reagent according to the manufacturerâs manual (SABiosciences). The Cancer PathwayFinder PCR array (SABiosciences) was run on the Roche 480 Lightcycler (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) with 2 plates run for each tet-on driver + doxycycline, tet-on CaSm, and tet-on CaSm + doxycycline. The plates included controls for genomic DNA contamination, reverse transcription, and positive controls. Analysis was performed using SABioscienceâs Free PCR Array Data Analysis Software (ÎÎCt method) with B2M, HPRT1, and GAPDH as pooled housekeeping genes.
