Project description:To investigate the carcinogenesis function LEF1 or KDM4A in the regulation of oral squamous cell carcinoma, we used siRNA knockdown of LEF1 or KDM4A in CAL-27 cells.
Project description:The goal of this study was to determine genes affected by depletion of KDM4A in HEK293T cells This data was used in Van Rechem et. al. Cancer Discovery 2014 to demonstrate that depletion of KDM4A did not alter expression of genese associated with translation.

Cancer Discovery 2014 to demonstrate that depletion of KDM4A did not alter expression of genese associated with translation. The experiment uses two different shRNA constructs; shKDM4A.2 in a pSuper backbone and shKDM4A.6 in a pLKO backbone. A corresponding empty vector control was conducted for each backbone. Each shRNA was compared to its own control.
Project description:To establish a robust cellular model system for screening genes associated with cell invasion, we over-expressed the oncogenic translocated promoter region (Tpr)-MET proteins in SCC23 cells (SCC23/MET). Using a functional siRNA screen, we identified that the histone demethylase KDM4A played a critical role in the invasive growth and metastasis of SCC mediated by the Oncogenic MET. To investigate the molecular mechanism through which KDM4A inhibit the tumor cell invasion, we knock-down KDM4A in SCC23/MET cell and performed a gene microarray to examine which genes may be regulaged by kDM4A. We generated two stable cell lines. one was infected with virus containing scramble and another infected with virus infected with virus containing KDM4A shRNA. Total RNA were extracted from these two cell lines and subject to microarray.

Project description:Genomewide analysis of gene expression associated with Tcof1 in mouse neuroblastoma. NB N1E-115 cells with wildtype, overexpression, knockdown of Tcof1.
Project description:Histone lysine demethylase KDM4A is overexpressed in prostate cancer and plays a crucial role in tumor growth and survival. To understand the mechanisms underlying KDM4A-depedent cell growth and survival, microarray analysis was performed in LNCaP cells transduced with control or KDM4A specific-knockdown construct. The role of KDM4A in prostate carcinogenesis involves activation of E2F1 and androgen receptor transcriptional profiles. LNCaP cells were transduced by lentivirus carrying control pLKO.1 (empty vector) or shKDM4A construct (KDM4A-specific shRNA) for three days, followed by RNA extraction. Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays were used for microarray analysis.
