Project description:Although chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is one of the most distressing adverse effects of cancer treatment, there are still no pharmacological interventions available and there remains an urgent unmet need to identify novel targets for therapy. We hypothesized that selected compounds which enhance ABC transporter activity and thus drug efflux from CIA-affected hair follicle (HF) epithelium may award relative protection from chemotherapy-induced HF toxicity. We found that the LXR agonist T0901317 significantly increased cell survival, attenuated LDH release, caspase-3 activity and DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in doxorubicin (DOX)-treated outer root sheath keratinocytes (ORS-KCs) in vitro and protected human HFs from DOX-induced apoptosis ex vivo. RNA sequencing was performed to investigate the potential mechanism(s) by which T0901317 may protect against DOX-induced cell survival and apoptosis of ORS-KC.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common, lethal malignancy in men. Although androgen withdrawal therapies are used to treat advanced disease, progression to a castration-resistant, end-stage is the usual outcome. In this study, the tested hypothesis was that the androgen receptor remains essential for the growth and viability of castration-resistant disease. Knocking down the androgen receptor in well-established tumors grown in castrated mice caused growth arrest, decreased serum PSA, and frequently regression and total eradication of tumors. Growth control of castration-resistant tumors appeared to be linked to the extent of androgen receptor knockdown, which triggers upregulation of many genes involved in apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and inhibition of tumorigenesis and protein synthesis. Our findings provide proof of principle that in vivo knockdown of the androgen receptor is a viable therapeutic strategy to control and possibly eradicate prostate cancers that have progressed to the lethal castration-resistant state. C4-2 human prostate cancer cells stably expressing a tetracycline-inducible AR-targeted short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or scrambled shRNA were generated. These two cell lines were incubated in the absence of androgens with or without doxycycline hyclase (DOX). Comparison analysis of the gene expression profiles of C4-2 cells stably expressing AR shRNA + DOX and control cells (AR shRNA - DOX and scrambled shRNA ± DOX) was conducted to identify differentially regulated genes due to AR knockdown after normalization and data filtering. Genes were considered to be significantly different if the expression in the induced AR shRNA + DOX cells was at least 1.7-fold greater or 1.7-fold less than that seen in the control cells, with P< 0.05.

Project description:Human multipotent stromal cells readily form single-cell-derived colonies when plated at clonal densities. However, the colonies are heterogeneous because cells from a colony form new colonies that vary in size and differentiation potential when replated at clonal densities. The experiments here tested the hypothesis that cells in the inner regions of colonies are partially differentiated, but the differentiation is reversible. Cells were separately isolated from the dense inner (IN) regions and less-dense outer regions (OUT) of single-cell-derived colonies. Cells were then compared by assays of their transcriptomes and proteins, and for clonogenicity and differentiation. IN cells expressed fewer cell-cycle genes and higher levels of genes for extracellular matrix than the OUT cells. When transferred to differentiation medium, differentiation of the colonies occurred primarily in the IN regions. However, the IN cells were indistinguishable from OUT cells when replated at clonal densities and assayed for rates of propagation and clonogenicity. Also, colonies formed by IN cells were similar to colonies formed by OUT cells because they had distinct IN and OUT regions. Cultures of IN and OUT cells remained indistinguishable through multiple passages (30-75 population doublings), and both cells formed colonies that were looser and less dense as they were expanded. The results demonstrated that cells in the IN region of single-cell-derived colonies are partially differentiated, but the differentiation can be reversed by replating the cells at clonal densities. Experiment Overall Design: In this study heterogeneity of human multipotent stromal cells in single-cell-derived colonies was examined. Cells were grown as colonies on slides for 12 days and cells from inside (IN) and outside (OUT) of colonies were isolated with laser capture microdissection. Cells from two colonies were pooled for each sample. This study consists of 3 biological replicates for each colony region (3 for IN and 3 for OUT). All 6 samples were run on Affymetrix microarrays after amplification and labeling using Nugen Ovation technology.

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have the unique property of immortality, ability to infinitely self-renew and survive in vitro. In contrast to tumor-deribed cells, their immortality are free from any genomic abberations. Instead, they depend on the AKAP-Lbc/Rho signaling cascade. To understand the downstream way, we performed RNA-seq analyses between normal and AKAP-Lbc-depleted hESCs using the doxycyclin-inducible gene silensing strategy. We use the genetically modified hESCs in which AKAP-13-targeting shRNA is induced by doxycyclin(dox) treatment. To minimize cell loss during treatment, anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-XL is overexpressed. We collected RNA from dox-treated and untreated cells in biological triplicate. We measured gene expression in these 2 sample groups using RNA-seq (illumina HiSeq) .

Project description:The effect of the GSK3 inhibitor Azakenpaullone (Azak) and the differentiation agent retinoic acid (RA) was studied in low and high MYCN levels in the MYCN inducible neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y/6TR(EU)/pTrex-Dest-30/MYCN (SY5Y-MYCN). Azak was dissolved in DMSO in order to apply it to the cells. Therefore a vehicle control consisting of SY5Y-MYCN cells treated with 24h 1 ul/ml DMSO only was used in duplicates. Doxycycline (Sigma) dissolved in water was used at a final concentration of 1ug/ml to induce MYCN expression in SY5Y-MYCN. A co-treatment study with Dox and Azak was conducted. SY5Y-MYCN cells were treated with 24h Azak, 24h Azak & 48h Dox and 48h Dox, with biological duplicates. 1 uM RA (dissolved in DMSO) and 1 ug/mL Doxycycline were given individually and in combination. SY5Y-MYCN cells were treated with 24h RA, 24h RA & 48h Dox, and 48h Dox and RNA was extracted in biological duplicates. For the 24h RA & 48h Dox co-treatment cells were treated with Dox for 24h and then with RA and fresh Dox for a further 24h.

Project description:A number of key regulators of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell identity, including the transcription factor Nanog, show strong expression fluctuations at the single cell level. The molecular basis for these fluctuations is unknown. Here we used a genetic complementation strategy to investigate expression changes during transient periods of Nanog downregulation. Employing an integrated approach, that includes high-throughput single cell transcriptional profiling and mathematical modelling, we found that early molecular changes subsequent to Nanog loss are stochastic and reversible. However, analysis also revealed that Nanog loss severely compromises the self-sustaining feedback structure of the ES cell regulatory network. Consequently, these nascent changes soon become consolidated to committed fate decisions in the prolonged absence of Nanog. Consistent with this, we found that exogenous regulation of Nanog-dependent feedback control mechanisms produced more a homogeneous ES cell population. Taken together our results indicate that Nanog-dependent feedback loops play a role in controlling both ES cell fate decisions and population variability. Total of 30 samples, 10 conditions in triplicates; Cell samples were harvested at day0 (Dox present, Nanog expressing, NgR day0 +Dox), and at days 1,3 and 5 days after dox withdrawal (NgR day1 -Dox, NgR day3 -Dox and NgR day5 -Dox respectively). Additionally, at each time-point a set of samples was further treated with a twelve-hour pulse of dox before being harvested (NgR day1+ 12h Dox, NgR day3+12h Dox and NgR day5+12h Dox) and compared with untreated control samples harvested at the same time (NgR day1- 12h Dox, NgR day3-12h Dox and NgR day5-12h Dox) . All time points were performed in triplicates. We performed Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays analyses of mouse embryonic stem cell gene expression profiles at each time point.

Project description:Aneuploidy, a state of having uneven numbers of chromosomes, is a form of large-effect mutation able to confer adaptive phenotypes under diverse stress conditions. Here we investigate whether pleiotropic stresses could in turn induce aneuploidy in budding yeast. Cells exposed to radicicol, an Hsp90 inhibitor, exhibit chromosomal instability. To assess the karyotype of cells with an acquired resistance to radicicol, array CGH was used to compare three stably resistant yeast colonies to a WT strain. Single replicates of DNA prepared from radicicol-resistant yeast colonies are compared to a control WT colony.

Project description:We performed bulk RNA-Seq to investigate global transcriptional changes upon overexpression of the centromeric H3 variant CenH3/CENP-A in p53 wild-type and defective cells, and after X-irradiation treatment. We established clonal MCF-10-2A TetOn-CENPA-FLAG-HA cell lines where CENP-A can be reversibly induced by Doxycycline (Dox) treatment. Upon CENP-A overexpression, these cells exhibit different radiosensitivity depending on p53 status. In order to profile global changes in expression, we compared MCF-10-2A TetOn-CENPA-FLAG-HA cells expressing either empty vector (p53-WT) or dominant-negative p53 (p53-DN) with 0X Dox (no Dox), 1X Dox (10 ng/ml), or 10X Dox (100 ng/ml) for 24h. At time 0, we irradiated one set of cells by X-ray generator (4gy) while a control set remained un-irradiated (0gy). 6h later, we extracted RNA for RNA-seq.

Project description:To understand the role of DPPA2 in epigenetic memory during X-Chromosome reactivation (XCR) we employed inducible Xist hybrid female embryonic stem cell line (TX1072, hybrid Bl6/Cast). Wild type or Dppa2 knockout TX1072 cells were cultured, in three or two independent biological replicates, respectively, in presence of DOX (1ug/ml) for 6 days to induce Xist overexpression and X-Chomosome inactivation (XCI) on the Bl6 allele. DOX was then washed out to silence Xist and XCR was followed in a time-series at 1, 3 or 7 days after DOX removal. Cell pellets were harvested at the following timepoints: -DOX, +DOX, 1d D-wo, 3d D-wo and 7d D-wo. RNA was extracted and 250 ng used for PolyA mRNA library preparation and Next generation sequencing.
