Project description:Expression profiles of 17 melanoma cell lines were analysed to identify genes differentially expressed between cell lines harbouring wild-type or mutant p16INK4A. Relevant paper: Pavey et al. (2007). Note: all of these cell lines contained wild-type p14ARF, so that the transcriptional effects of p16INk4A could be determined without interference from p14ARF. Experiment Overall Design: The aim of this study was to identify genes which are transcriptional targets of p16INK4A in melanoma.

Project description:BackgroundGrasshopper serves as important model system in neuroscience, development and evolution. Representatives of this primitive insect group are also highly relevant targets of pest control efforts. Unfortunately, the lack of genetics or gene specific molecular manipulation imposes major limitations to the study of grasshopper biology.ResultsWe investigated whether juvenile instars of the grasshopper species Schistocerca americana are conducive to gene silencing via the systemic RNAi pathway. Injection of dsRNA corresponding to the eye colour gene vermilion into first instar nymphs triggered suppression of ommochrome formation in the eye lasting through two instars equivalent to 10-14 days in absolute time. QRT-PCR analysis revealed a two fold decrease of target transcript levels in affected animals. Control injections of EGFP dsRNA did not result in detectable phenotypic changes. RT-PCR and in situ hybridization detected ubiquitous expression of the grasshopper homolog of the dsRNA channel protein gene sid-1 in embryos, nymphs and adults.ConclusionOur results demonstrate that systemic dsRNA application elicits specific and long-term gene silencing in juvenile grasshopper instars. The conservation of systemic RNAi in the grasshopper suggests that this pathway can be exploited for gene specific manipulation of juvenile and adult instars in a wide range of primitive insects.

Project description:siRNA-mediated inhibition compared to untreated cells and cells transfected with nonsense siRNA. Loss of contact inhibition and anchorage-independent growth are hallmarks of cancer cells. In this context, frequent inactivation of the Hippo pathway and subsequent nuclear enrichment of the transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein (YAP) uncouple cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis from contact inhibition, associated with uncontrolled tumor growth and tumor cell dissemination. However, general molecular mechanisms of tumor-supporting YAP activity remain unclear. In this study, we show that overexpression and nuclear accumulation of YAP in hepatocytes and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells leads to an induction of the Notch pathways through transcriptional activation of the Notch ligand jagged-1 (Jag-1). This induction of Jag-1 strictly depends on binding of YAP to TEAD4 and does not rely on WNT/β-catenin pathway activity. Co-activation of YAP, TEAD4, Jag-1, and the Notch target gene Hes-1 was significantly higher in HCC from patients with poor prognosis. High-level expression and nuclear accumulation of YAP correlates with Jag-1/Notch activation not only in human HCC tissues, but also in colon and pancreatic cancer tissues. Thus, our data demonstrate that YAP-driven co-activation of the Jag-1/Notch pathway in part facilitates oncogenic properties of the oncogene YAP not only in HCC but also in different gastrointestinal malignancies. Expression profiling of untreated HCC cell lines (control 1), cells transfected with scrambled/nonsense siRNA (control 2), and after siRNA-mediated YAP inhibition.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers among women and a major clinical obstacle. Although studies have reported the abnormal expression of SIRT7 in breast cancer, whether the function of SIRT7 regulates the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in breast cancer remains unknown. We aimed to determine the differential expressions of mRNAs and lncRNAs associated with SIRT7 and understand the regulatory mechanism of SIRT7 in breast cancer. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the transcriptome in MDA-MB-231 cells after SIRT7 depletion, and a total of 50,634 different transcripts were identified. In comparison with the negative control, siSIRT7 groups showed 240 differentially expressed mRNAs and 26 differentially expressed lncRNAs. Gene ontology analysis revealed that the differentially expressed mRNAs mainly regulated DNA replication, CXCR chemokine receptor binding, and maturation of large subunit rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript, nucleoplasm, mitochondrion, and NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the differentially expressed mRNAs were mainly involved in pathways associated with MAPK signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, hepatitis B, and cancer. Moreover, the target genes of the differentially expressed lncRNAs mainly regulated the carboxylic acid metabolic processes and were involved in glycolysis pathway. The mRNA-lncRNA coexpression network comprised 186 mRNAs and 23 lncRNAs. Our results provide essential data regarding differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs after the depletion of SIRT7 in breast cancer cells, which may be useful to elucidate the role of SIRT7 in breast cancer development.

Project description:T lymphoma invasion and metastasis protein (Tiam1) is up-regulated in variety of cancers and its expression level is related to metastatic potential of the type of cancer. Earlier, Tiam1 was shown to be overexpressed in retinoblastoma (RB) and we hypothesized that it was involved in invasiveness of RB. This was tested by silencing Tiam1 in RB cell lines (Y79 and Weri-Rb1) using siRNA pool, targeting different regions of Tiam1 mRNA. The cDNA microarray of Tiam1 silenced cells showed gene regulations altered by Tiam1 were predominantly on the actin cytoskeleton interacting proteins, apoptotic initiators and tumorogenic potential targets. The silenced phenotype resulted in decreased growth and increased apoptosis with non-invasive characteristics. Transfection of full length and N-terminal truncated construct (C1199) clearly revealed membrane localization of Tiam1 and not in the case of C580 construct. F-actin staining showed the interaction of Tiam1 with actin in the membrane edges that leads to ruffling, and also imparts varying invasive potential to the cell. The results obtained from our study show for the first time that Tiam1 modulates the cell invasion, mediated by actin cytoskeleton remodeling in RB.

Project description:From our previous data, we found that loss of ATAD3A gene expression in breast cancer cells results in loss of cell motility in vitro and metastasis in vivo. To obtain a better understanding of oncogenic pathway of ATAD3A, we have established the stable ATAD3A knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells using lentiviral strategy. We used the whole genome microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after depleting of ATAD3A and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated metastmir associated with breast cancer cells migration Total RNA was extracted from ATAD3A stable knockdown cells (shATAD3A) and the control cells (shGFP). The labeled RNA was hybridized on U133 plus 2.0 Array. To identify altered gene expression patterns with or without ATAD3A expression, we compared average mRNA expression levels between the ATAD3A knockdown and control MDA-MB-231 cells.

Project description:NAMPT is an enzyme in the mammalian NAD+ salvage pathway. Expression microarray analysis was used to study the effect of NAMPT knockdown on gene expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Experiment Overall Design: Stable knockdown of NAMPT was achieved using a retroviral shRNA construct. An shRNA directed against Luciferase was used to generate the Luc control cells. Three independent biological replicates with matching Luc controls were analyzed using Affymetrix U133 A2.0 microarrays.
