Differential gene expression in murine lung cancer in vitro vs. in vivo
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The tumor microenvironment (TME) is incredibly important to the growth of tumors. To better understand the effect that the TME has on cancer cells, we assessed genes that were differentially expressed in murine lung tumors versus cells that were cultured in an incubator. We employed our orthotopic mouse model where murine lung cancer cells were implanted into the left lung of immunocompetent, syngeneic GFP-expressing mice of the C57BL/6 strain. After 3-4 weeks, tumors were harvested and a single cell suspension was prepared from the tumors. Using fluorescent-activated cell sorting, live (DAPI-negative), GFP-negative cells were isolated from the single cell suspensions. These GFP-negative cells constitute a pure population of tumor cells, excluding cells from the TME. RNA was isolated from these tumor cells, and submitted to RNA-seq. These are our “in vivo” samples. Concurrently, the cells from the same batch of cells that were initially injected into mice were cultured in vitro, and RNA was isolated from them and submitted to RNA-seq. These samples are our “in vitro” samples. Our study specifically utilizes 2 newly developed EML4-ALK fusion-driven murine lung cancer cell lines (EA1 and EA2 cells).
