Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to characterize the transcriptional profile of cholangiocarcinoma cell line HuCCT1 after transfection with a plasmid encodind the long isoform of CASC15 (Gene ID: 401237 ; RNA sequence: NR_015410.1).
Project description:The YAP pathway in regulating organ size by integrating external signals to control the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation. YAP is known to be involved in tumorigenesis in several tissues, yet its role in cholangiocarcinoma is not established We used microarrays to assess the role of YAP pathway in cholangiocarcinoma either by overexpressing a constitutively active YAP1 mutant, or by downregulating YAP1 expression using shRNA HuCCT1 cells where transfected with either an empty vector or a vector overexpressing the constitutively active YAP1 S127A; cells were harvested, RNA was collected and analyzed using microarray

Project description:Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a difficult type of cancer to diagnose, extremely aggressive and resistant to therapeutic options with an increased incidence and mortality over time. The overexpression of Notch pathway is implicated in iCCA to create an ecosystem that drives the tumor aggressiveness. Specifically, Notch1 is overexpressed in iCCA tissue of patients, playing an important role on tumor growth. Our purpose was to investigate the effectiveness of Crenigacestat in in vivo experiments, using Hucct1 injected in CD1 mice to generate an iCCA xenograft mouse model. In the present study, in order to explore modulated factors and genes by treatment we performed a transcriptomic analysis validated by Western Blotting and qRT-PCR on iCCA tumor masses of xenograft mice. Our results indicate that the treatment significantly inhibited Notch1 and HES1 genes and proteins triggering a strong immune response. Nevertheless, moderate fibrosis was shown in this model which may have hindered response to therapy to promote tumor progression. We used microarray technology to understand the molecular mechanisms affected by Crenigacestat in HUCCT1 xenograft model of intraepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
