Project description:Microarray data to accompany Gauger et al. (2009) Cancer Cell International paper A treated X untreated design was used whereby immortalized human mammary epithelial cell lines (TERT cells) were modified to stably express an siRNA that knocked down SFRP1 expression. These "treated" cells were labeled with Cy5 and four replicate harvests were hybridized to Agilent 4by44k whole genome microarrays, along with a Cy3 labeled untreated control. The untreated control consisted of 4 pooled harvests of the parent cell line in normal growth conditions at 60-80% confluence.
Project description:Streptococcus agalactiae (Lancefield’s group B Streptococcus, GBS) is a major bacterial species of genus Streptococcus and has medical and veterinary importance by affecting mainly humans (Maione et al., 2005; Johri et al., 2006), cattle (Keefe, 1997) and fish (Mian et al., 2009). The GBS is the most important pathogen for the Nile tilapia, a global commodity of the aquaculture sector, causing outbreaks of septicemia and meningoencephalitis (Hernández et al., 2009; Mian et al., 2009).
Project description:MaSC, Luminal progenitor enriched subpopulations were sorted based on CD24/CD29 expression from mammary epithelial cells of virgin female mice . (Tiede BJ et al., 2009, PLoS ONE 4(11): e8035. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0008035), and the transcirptome profiles were determined and compared.

Project description:MaSC, Luminal progenitor enriched subpopulations were isolated from virgin and pregnant mice based on using both surface marker or internal reporter transgene (GFP) expression. (Tiede BJ et al., 2009, PLoS ONE 4(11): e8035. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0008035), and the transcirptome profiles were determined and compared.
Project description:Hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) are rare benign tumors mainly developed in women after 2 years of oral contraceptive use (Rooks et al., 1979). HCA are also related to other risk factors (obesity, vascular diseases, androgen and alcohol intake) or to different genetic diseases (Mac Cune Albright syndrome, glycogen storage diseases type 1a and MODY3 diabetes caused by HNF1A germline mutation) (Calderaro et al., 2013; Nault et al., 2013a). Bleeding and malignant transformation to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can occur as severe complications observed respectively in 30-50% and 5% of the cases. In the past 10 years, we identified 4 major molecular subgroups of HCA defined by (1) mutations inactivating HNF1A (H-HCA, 35% of the HCA) (Bacq et al., 2003; Bluteau et al., 2002; Jeannot et al., 2010), (2) activation of ß-catenin by mutations in exon 3 (bHCA, 15%) (Chen et al., 2002), (3) inflammatory phenotype with STAT3 activation (IHCA, 50%) (Bioulac-Sage et al., 2009; Zucman-Rossi et al., 2006), (4) a tumor subgroup of HCA with Sonic Hedgehog pathway activation due to recurrent focal deletions (shHCA) (Nault et al. ,in preparation) and (5) the remaining unclassified tumors (UHCA, 10%) (Bioulac-Sage et al., 2009). Among bHCA, half displayed both inflammatory and ß-catenin activated phenotypes (bIHCA). Inflammatory adenomas (IHCA) are caused by IL6ST somatic mutation activating gp130 in 60% of the cases (Rebouissou et al., 2009) whereas other IHCA are mutated for STAT3 itself (Pilati et al., 2011) or GNAS (Nault et al., 2012) but in the remaining 30% cases no mutation (NM) were identified yet. This molecular classification is currently accepted in clinical practice using either immunohistochemical markers (Bioulac-Sage et al., 2009; Bioulac-Sage et al., 2007) or in radiology at MRI (Laumonier et al., 2008) and it has dramatically improved the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of HCA.

Project description:Streptococcus agalactiae (Lancefield’s group B Streptococcus, GBS) is a major bacterial species of genus Streptococcus and has medical and veterinary importance by affecting mainly humans (Maione et al., 2005; Johri et al., 2006), cattle (Keefe, 1997) and fish (Mian et al., 2009). The GBS is the most important pathogen for the Nile tilapia, a global commodity of the aquaculture sector, causing outbreaks of septicemia and meningoencephalitis (Hernández et al., 2009; Mian et al., 2009). This study aimed to evaluate the global abundancy of proteins among the main genotypes of GBS isolated from fish identified in Brazil using a label free shotgun liquid chromatography-ultra definition mass spectrometry (LC-UDMSE) approach and to compare the differential expression of proteins identified between isolates from fish and human.
