Project description:Activation of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway due to Patched 1 (PTCH1) mutation is a key event in sporadic and familial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) development. To find out the specific pathway for therapeutic intervention, we developed a mouse BCC model by skin specific Ptch1 inactivation, and sought to identify novel Shh targets. We used microarrays to identify up-regulated genes in mouse BCC. We used microarrays to identify down-regulated genes in mouse BCC cell line by cyclopamine.
Project description:The goal of these ATAC-seq experiments was to determine changes in chromatin accesiblity caused by Il1a and Osm ligand treatment of mouse BCC cells at 48h timepoint versus PBS control
Project description:The goal of these RNA-seq experiments was to determine transcriptomic gene expression changes caused by Il1 or Osm (or both) treatments of mouse BCC cells at 24h and 48h timepoints versus PBS control
Project description:The goal of these RNA-seq experiments was to determine transcriptomic gene expression changes caused by 7 days of Il1a and Osm combination treatment of mouse primary BCC tumor-derived organoids compared to PBS control
Project description:The objective of this experiment was to determine the DNA binding sites of transcription factor NFKB1 in mouse BCC cells upon Il1a and Osm ligand treatment at 48h timepoint versus PBS control
Project description:In summary, we have validated differential expression of several miRs, namely two that are downregulated in all BCC subtypes compared to control skin (miR.383.5p, miR.145.5p), two that are downregulated in superficial BCC (miR.181c.5p, miR.181b.5p) relative to nodular and infiltrative BCC, and several that are upregulated in infiltrative BCC relative to superficial BCC (miR.22.5p, miR.18a.3p, miR.708.5p, miR.758.3p, miR.30c.5p), and two that are upregulated in infiltrative BCC relative to nodular BCC (miR.22.5p, miR.758.3p). To our knowledge, this study has investigated and validated the largest number of BCC tumors representing the different subtypes.
