RNAi knock down of AURKA in human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: IMR-32 cells were infected either with control-shRNA or one of two different AURKA-shRNA vectors to identify genes regulated after AURKA knockdown.
Project description:Genome-wide expression analysis was performed on RNA from whole neoplastic lymph nodes derived from individual Eµ-myc transgenic and Eµ-myc transgenic; Suv39h1-/- mice and from normal wildtype spleens as control.
Project description:To investigate the role of the dimerization interface for p53 function, we introduced modest charge-neutralizing (R181→L "EL") and more severe charge-inverting (R181→E "EE" and E180→R, R181→E "RE") mutations into the H1 helix of the full-length p53 molecule. To characterize the nuclear transcriptional function of p53 mutants in an unbiased manner we employed gene expression profiling using cDNA microarrays. Saos-2 cells were infected with adenoviruses expressing the p53 proteins EE, EL, WT and RE which span the entire spectrum of apoptotic activity. Total cellular RNA was isolated 18 hours after infection when apoptosis had not yet occurred.
Project description:Genome-wide expression analysis was performed on RNA from short-term cultured Eµ-myc transgenic vs. Eµ-myc transgenic; Suv39h1-/- lymphoma cells with and without exposure to 100 pM of human TGF-b1 for 24 hours, with wildtype B-cells as control
Project description:Signaling pathways specifically induced by the oncogenic receptor Xmrk can be elucidated by comparing gene expression in cells with the activated receptor to gene expression in cells with the non-activated receptor. Mouse melanocytes transfected with an inducible version of the oncogenic receptor Xmrk, were starved for 72 h and afterwards stimulated with EGF. We compared cells stimulated for 15 minutes, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h or 24 h, respectively, to unstimulated cells.
Project description:SH-EP cells were depleted for ZBTB4; Transfection of the cells were performed by oligofectamin RNAimax (Invitrogen) with siRNA smart pool (Dharmacon RNA Technologies); total RNA was isolated using RNAeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN), preamplified, labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridized to cDNA-microarrays
Project description:Induction of apoptosis by the tumor suppressor p53 is known to protect from Myc-driven lymphomagenesis. The p53 family member p73 is also a pro-apoptotic protein, which is activated in response to oncogenes like Myc. We therefore investigated whether p73 provides a similar protection from Myc-driven lymphomas as p53. To generate B-cell lymphomas with defined genetic alterations in p53 or p73, we crossed the Eµ-Myc transgenic to mice heterozygous for germ-line deletions in p53 (p53+/) or p73 (p73+/-). Lymphomas which have spontaneously developed in Eµ-Myc transgenic animals with the genotypes p53+/+, p53+/-, p73+/+, p73+/- or p73-/- were isolated when the animals were moribund and further processed for gene expression profiling with 22.5K cDNA microarrays.
Project description:21 Tissue samples of gastric MALT lymphoma were compared by cDNA microarray studies with chronic gastritis tissues from the same patient. From each patient, multiple mucosal biopsies of the stomach were taken both from i) the macroscopically infiltrated area and ii) distant from the lymphoma. For conventional histological examination, biopsies taken from the same areas were formalin fixed, embedded in paraffin and reviewed by a central pathologist. All lymphoma samples were tested by RT-PCR for t(11;18). None of them was t(11;18) positive.
Project description:Aim: identification of differentially expressed genes after LIN-9 depletion.<br> <br> hTERT immortalized human BJ fibroblasts were infected with pMSCV-Blasticidin based retroviruses encoding a shRNA which targets human LIN-9 and the empty vector respectively.<br> After 4 days of selection total RNA was isolated. Cy3 and Cy5 labelled cDNA probes were generated using the CyScribe Post-labelling Kit (Amersham Biosiences).
Project description:Expression analysis was performed in 77 Wilms tumors in order to select genes responsible for tumor development, metastasis and progression.
