Project description:Gene expression analysis of 5-aza-dC treated pancreatic cancer associated fibroblasts To identify genes silenced by methylation in pancreatic CAFs, we performed gene expression profiling on 5-aza-dC treated pancreatic cancer associated fibroblast cultures using Affymetrix Exon arrays. We analyzed 5 untreated and 5-aza-dC-treated pancreatic cancer associated fibroblast cultures using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Gene expression levels were compared using Partek (version 6.3beta).

Project description:The YAP pathway in regulating organ size by integrating external signals to control the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation. YAP is known to be involved in tumorigenesis in several tissues, yet its role in cholangiocarcinoma is not established We used microarrays to assess the role of YAP pathway in cholangiocarcinoma either by overexpressing a constitutively active YAP1 mutant, or by downregulating YAP1 expression using shRNA HuCCT1 cells where transfected with either a control scrambled shRNA or a shRNA targeting YAP1; cells were harvested, RNA was collected and analyzed using microarray

Project description:To assess changes in gene expression regulated by Yap1 or Angiomotin, either Yap1 or Angiomotin were knocked down in HEK293 cells using shRNA and expression was assessed by microarray analysis and compared to expression patterns of wildtype cells. Microarray analysis was performed to compare gene expression in Amot-KD, Yap-KD, and control HEK293 cells. Samples from three individual experiments for each of the three groups were analyzed.

Project description:Frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 11q22-23 in breast cancer strongly suggests that this region contains a tumor suppressor gene, yet to be identified. We and others have shown Yes-associated protein (YAP), which is located at 11q22.2, transactivates the p53 family member p73 upon DNA damage, suggesting a tumor suppressive function for YAP. Our analysis of breast tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed loss of YAP protein expression in great portion of breast cancers. We used microarray to look at the targte genes regulated by YAP in normal breast luminal cell and breast cancer cell lines. Experiment Overall Design: We generated stable cell lines by introducing control vector(pRS-IRES-GFP/pmig) or YAP shRNA(pRS-IRES-GFP-YAP/pmig-YAP) in a normal breast luminal cell line 1089 luminal and breast cancer cell lines MDA MB231. RAN was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.We looked for new target genes regulated by YAP in normal breast luminal cell and breast cancer cell lines.

Project description:Hippo signalling has been implicated as a key regulator of tissue regeneration. In the intestine, ex vivo organoid cultures model aspects of crypt epithelial regeneration. Therefore in order to uncover the Yap regulated transcriptional programs during crypt regeneration we performed RNA-sequencing of Yap wt and Yap deficient organoids, as well as organoids inducibly expressing Yap.

Project description:Primary human gastric cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) cultures (CAF14 and CAF32) were establised from 2 gastrectomy specimens. Silencing the expression (loss-of-function effect) of Twist1 in CAFs showed candidate target genes regulated by Twist1 and abrogated their tumor-promoting properties. Experiment design: two gastric CAFs (CAF14 adn CAF32, respectively) were establised from two gastric cancer patients and Twist1 knockdown studies were performed using shRNA.

Project description:To determine the biological mechanisms underlying the oncogenic properties of YAP in ccRCC the human ccRCC cell line MZ1774 was transduced with lentivirus containing a shRNA-cassette targeting YAP-mRNA. Expression profiles of MZ1774 YAP knockdown cells were compared to mock-transduced control cells. Total RNA from MZ1774 cells stably expressing shRNA directed against YAP compared to mock-transduced MZ1174 cells

Project description:Tumor microenvironment coevolves with and simultaneously sustains cancer progression. Reactive fibroblasts found in prostate cancer (PCa), known as cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF), have been indeed shown to fuel tumor development and metastasis by mutually interacting with PCa cells. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that lead to activation of CAFs from tissue-resident fibroblasts, circulating marrow-derived fibroblast progenitors or mesenchymal stem cells. Through integrated gene and microRNA expression profiling, here we showed that transcriptome of CAFs isolated from prostate tumors strictly resembles that of normal fibroblasts stimulated in vitro with interleukin-6 (IL6), thus confirming the capability of the cytokine to promote acquisition of an activated and cancer-promoting phenotype, and, for the first time, proving that IL6 is able per se to induce all the complex transcriptional changes characteristic of patient-derived CAFs. Comparison with publicly available datasets, however, suggested that prostate CAFs may be alternatively characterized by IL6 and TGF?-related signatures, indicating that either signal, depending on the context, tumor stage and etiology, may concur to fibroblast activation. Our analyses also highlighted pathways relevant for induction of reactive stroma, including genes the role of which in fibroblast activation is still to be explored. In addition, we revealed a role for muscle-specific miR-133b as a soluble factor secreted by activated fibroblasts to support paracrine activation of non-activated fibroblasts or promote tumor progression. Overall, in this study we provided insights on the molecular mechanisms driving fibroblast activation in prostate cancer, thus contributing to identify novel hits for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting the crucial interplay between tumor cells and their microenvironment.

In the present study, patient derived-CAFs and HPFs activated in vitro with either TGF? or IL6 were comparatively analyzed for gene and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles, with the aim to define transcriptional pathways responsible for fibroblast activation and establish whether different subpopulations of CAFs may exist in PCa.
