Project description:Foxc1 and Foxc2 are highly expressed in adult podocytes. To bypass embryonic lethality of Foxc1 and Foxc2 KO, mice ubiquitously expressing inducible-Cre (ROSA26-CreERT2) were mated with floxed-Foxc1 and floxed-Foxc2 mice. We used microarrays to detail effects of deletions of Foxc1 and Foxc2 on podocyte gene expression profiles in adult podocyte in vivo and in vitro.
Project description:Here we used laser cutting microdissection and RNA amplification to profile the gene expression in wildtype female germaria and male apex of the testes. These tissue contain germline stem cells and early dividing germ cells. Our goal was to identify genes expressed in these cell types. A direct microarray design of laser cut germaria vs laser cut apex of testes. Four biological replicates are included with two dye-swaps.
Project description:RNAs that are enriched in AGO2 Immunoprecipitated (IP) products or PIWIL1 IP products were identified from mouse(BALB/C) adult testes by examine the ratio of total RNA signal intensity to AGO2 IP RNA or PIWIL1 IP RNA signal intensity. Two-condition experiment,Total RNA extracted from mouse adult testes vs. AGO2 IP RNA extracted from mouse adult testes and total RNA extracted from mouse adult testes vs. PIWIL1 IP RNA extracted from mouse adult testes.
Project description:We report to investigate the changes in cellular composition and gene expression upon miR-202 KO. One testis from each of three adult WT mice and three adult KO mice was collected, and the KO and WT testes were pooled respectively for subsequent analysis. A total of 15,310 WT and 12,935 KO cells passed standard quality control and were used for subsequent analysis.
Project description:Transcript profiling to identify genes where the mRNA expression levels are differentially regulated in white adipose tissue of transgenic mice overexpressing the FOXC2 gene compared with adipose tissue of wild-type mice.
Project description:The FOXC2 transcription factor regulates a variety of developmental and biological processes in both embryonic and adult tissues. Importantly, overexpression or dysregulation of FOXC2 is also associated with oncogenic activity in numerous cancer types, though the function of FOXC2 in the context of melanoma has not been previously investigated. Therefore, the goal of this study was to assess FOXC2's regulation of gene expression in melanoma cells. To this end, we employed CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to disrupt the Foxc2 gene in B16-F1 melanoma, and we performed RNA-seq analysis to assess differential gene expression between the wild-type B16-F1 melanoma cell line and our novel FOXC2-deficient B16-F1ΔFOXC2 gene-edited variant cell line.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a colorectal cancer cell line SW480 expressing FOXC2, compared to the pBabe control cells. Genes associated with metastasis regulated by FOXC2 in colorectal cancer were analysed. The role of FOXC2 in breast cancer metastasis are further described in Mani SA, Yang J et al. Mesenchyme Forkhead 1 (FOXC2) plays a key role in metastasis and is associated with aggressive basal-like breast cancers. PNAS 2007; 104: 10069-10074 . A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of SW480/pBabe and three separate cultures of SW480/FOXC2. Each chip measures the expression level of 45033 genes from SW480/pBabe or SW480/FOXC2.
Project description:To determine gene expression changes in vasculogenic mimicry competent human breast cancer cells with loss of FOXC2 we performed RNA-seq of MDA-MB-231 cells with FOXC2 knockdown.
Project description:We used microarrays to investigate the transcription profile of FOXC2 expression in a human mammary epithelial cell line. HMLER cells were infected with either a control vector or a retroviral vector expressing FOXC2.
