Project description:Purpose: Core 3 derived glycans, a major type of O-glycan expressed by normal epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, are downregulated during malignancy, because of loss of expression of functional β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-6 (core 3 synthase). We investigated the expression of core 3 synthase in normal pancreas and pancreatic cancer and evaluated the biological effects of re-expressing core 3 synthase in pancreatic cancer cells that had lost expression. Experimental Design: We determined that pancreatic tumors and tumor cell lines have lost expression of core 3 synthase. We therefore re-expressed in human pancreatic cancer cells (Capan-2 and FG) to investigate the contribution of core 3 glycans to malignant progression. Results: Pancreatic cancer cells expressing core 3 synthase showed reduced in vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasion compared with vector control cells. Expression of core 3 O-glycans induced altered expression of β1 integrin, decreased activation of focal adhesion kinase, led to the down regulation of expression of several genes including REG1α and FGFR3, and altered lamellipodia formation. The addition of a GlcNAc residue by core 3 synthase leads to the extension of the tumor associated Tn structure on MUC1. Orthotopic injection of FG cells expressing core 3 synthase into the pancreas of nude mice produced significantly smaller tumors and decreased metastasis to the surrounding tissues compared to vector control FG cells. Conclusions: These findings indicate that expression of core 3 derived O-glycans in pancreatic cancer cells suppresses tumor growth and metastasis through modulation of glycosylation of mucins and other cell surface and extracellular matrix proteins. Two-condition experiment, Core 3 synthase stable expression (C3) vs. vector control (PLVX) cells. Biological replicates: 3 Core 3 synthase stable expression, 3 vector control, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.

Project description:To investigate effects on mRNA expression through treatment with FG-3019, irradiation and their combination to gain mechanistic hypotheses on the effects of these treatments on glioblastoma stem cell like cells which have been observed in vitro and in vivo. mRNA expression was measured 6 h after treatment with FG-3019, irradiation and their combination. 3 biological replicates were analyzed for each treatment condition (control, FG-3019, irratiation and FG-3019+irradiation)

Project description:Two pancreatic cancer cell lines with different metastatic and growth potential were compared under hypoxic conditions and under normal atmospheric oxygen pressure. The FG cell lines shows very few metastases and slow growth in mouse xenograft models. L3.6pl, derived from FG by cycles re-implantation of metastatic cells obtained after orthotopic tumor growth in nude mice, shows high motility, aggressive growth and very high metastatic potential By comparison of the two cell lines under different oxygen concentration we tried to simulate in vivo conditions of tumors at different growth stages. Differentially expressed genes and transcription factor regulating coexpressed genes identified by SOTA clustering were used to identify key genes that define metastatic potential of pancreatic cancer cells Keywords: 2+2 factorial design 12 samples, two cell lines * two culture conditions(oxygen pressure) * three replicates
