Project description:We observed the effects of TDAG8-overexpression in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells on the gene expression pattern. TDAG8-overexpressing or vector-transfected control LLC cells (5 × e5 in 200 µL of HBSS) were injected into the lateral tail veins of 6–8-week-old C57BL/6 mice. Lungs were removed on day 19 post-injection, and total RNA was extracted.
Project description:Exercise has been correlated with prevention of weight loss (cachexia) attributed to tumor initiation and progression. However, it is unclear what are the molecular mechanisms behind this beneficial effect of exercise to prevent cachexia. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from biopsies of muscle in 24 mice with Lewis lung carcinoma that reached 1 cm3 volume, 14 with access to running wheel and 10 without (controls).
Project description:The tumor microenvironment holds significant importance in cancer development and progression. Research conducted using mouse models of tumor cell transplantation can enhance our comprehension of the tissue microenvironment that allows tumor growth at an early stage. Among these models, those featuring the Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) cell line are noteworthy due to their low immunogenic features. Since numerous cancer patients do not respond effectively to current immunotherapy, it is imperative to investigate models with low immunogenic features. Consequently, this study employed single-cell RNA sequencing on an orthotopic lung cancer mouse model utilizing the LLC cell line to profile the characteristics of diverse cell types that emerge in the lung during tumor engraftment. The lung microenvironment exhibited discernible transformations, including fibrogenic gene expression, increased cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix adhesion, and reduced infiltration of T cells compared to lungs without tumor engraftment. In conclusion, these findings reveal cellular and molecular alterations that can be targeted for tumor prevention and treatment for low-immunogenic tumors.
Project description:Exercise has been correlated with retardation of tumor initiation and progression. However, it is unclear what are the molecular mechanisms behind this beneficial effect of exercise. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from biopsies of Lewis lung carcinoma tumors in a total of 16 mice, 8 with access to running wheel and 8 without (controls).
Project description:Purpose: To study the alteration of whole transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells after the decreasing of malignant properties of tumor by treatment of tumor-bearing mice with RNase A. Methods: Whole transcriptome profile of Lewis lung carcinoma before and after RNase A treatment were generated by deep sequencing using SOLiD 5.5. The sequence reads were mapped by Bioscope 1.3 software, differential expression was evaluated by Cufflinks v.2.0.1 package. Results: Difference in expression was found for 966 genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of alteration of transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma after the decrease of malignant prtoperties of the tumor (proliferation and invasion) by RNase A.
