Gene expression changes induced by K-ras oncogene in the human pancreatic duct epithelial cell line (H6c7)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: k-ras oncogene was transduced into the HPV16-E6E7 immortalized normal human pancreatic duct epithelial cell line (H6c7) to generate a stable K-ras oncogene-expressing cell line (H6c7-Kr). The gene expression profile of the H6c7-Kr cells was compared to that of H6c7 cells. We have excluded (subtracted) genes that were deregulated by transduction of the construct used for K-ras oncogene expression. Keywords: parallel sample

Project description:kRas (KR) tumors grow faster when expressing kRas and HPV E6E7 (KHR). The hypothesis was to test for differences in gene expression between KR and KHR oral tumors.
Project description:Paired-end sequencing of Vector and H-Ras expressing cell lines: p53-del and WT-p53 We found that activated forms of H-Ras and PIK3CA oncogene lead to repression of p63, a p53 family member. They also lead to induction of EMT, a cancer-related process. Our results suggest that, through Ras regulation of p63, this oncogene can drive mammary epithelial cells towards greater invasive ability.
Project description:Coinfections with pathogenic microbes continually confront cervical mucosa, yet their implications in pathogenesis remain unclear. Lack of in-vitro models recapitulating cervical epithelium has been a bottleneck to study coinfections. Using patient-derived ectocervical organoids, we systematically modelled individual and coinfection dynamics of Human papillomavirus (HPV)16 E6E7 and Chlamydia, associated with carcinogenesis. The ectocervical stem cells were genetically manipulated to introduce E6E7 oncogenes to mimic HPV16 integration. Organoids from these stem cells develop the characteristics of precancerous lesions while retaining the self-renew capacity and organize into mature stratified epithelium similar to healthy organoids. HPV16 E6E7 interferes with Chlamydia development and induces persistence. Unique transcriptional and post-translational responses induced by Chlamydia and HPV lead to distinct reprogramming of host cell processes. Strikingly, Chlamydia impedes HPV-induced mechanisms that maintain cellular and genome integrity, including mismatch repair in the stem cells. Together, our study employing organoids demonstrate the hazard of multiple infections and the unique cellular microenvironment they create, potentially contributing to neoplastic progression.
Project description:Based on the specificity with which the unique KH structural domains of hnRNP E1 bind with RNA/DNA, considering that HPV16 provides RNA/DNA binding sites, we hypothesized that hnRNP E1 may be crucial to HPV16 oncogenes expression and cervical carcinogenesis. Based on the main purpose of this study was to explore the role of hnRNP E1 on the regulation of HPV16 oncogene expression in cervical cancerization, we conducted ChIP-seq in the untreated SiHa cell line.
Project description:Comparison of gene expression of KR Primary and KR 1 cell lines KR Primary cells are established from lung tumors of Kras mice. This cell line was injected into B6 mice intratracheally and then KR 1 cell line was established.

Project description:The study aimed to identify genes essential for the maintenance of the transformed phenotype of the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116, which is dependent on the continued expression of the activated KRAS oncogene (KRASG13D). We generated HCT116 cell lines stably expressing an inducible shRNA-expressing retroviral vector targeting KRAS (Ngo et al., Nature, 2006). In cells engineered to express the bacterial tetracycline repressor, the shRNA is expressed specifically upon doxycycline addition. With this system, we showed that inducible down-regulation of KRAS is triggering cell death in the HCT116 cells, suggesting oncogene addiction in this cell line. In this study, we compared the gene expression profile of HCT116 cells where KRAS has been downregulated for different lengths of time, aiming at identifying RAS-target genes. We also compared the gene expression profile of the parental HCT116 cell line with two derived isogenic cell lines, Hke3 and Hkh-2, where the activated KRAS gene has been deleted by homologous recombination.
