Project description:RECK, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein, inhibits the enzymatic activities of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), thereby suppressing tumor cell metastasis; however, the detailed mechanism is still obscure. In this study, we compared the gene expression profiles between mock- and RECK-transfected HT1080 cells. Three established cell lines were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays: (1) mock-transfected HT1080 cells, designated as HT1080-Zeo, (2) RECK-overexpressing HT1080 cells, designated as HT1080-RECK, and (3) RECK/4NQ-overexpressing HT1080 cells (in which four N-glycosylation asparagine residues of RECK (Asn86, Asn200, Asn297, and Asn352) were replaced with glutamine residues), designated as HT1080-RECK/4NQ.

Project description:HT1080 cells were grown on collagen I and treated with PI for 4 h (short term) and 24 h (long term) while RNA was extracted for Genome-wide Affymetrix Microarray gene expression analysis. The objective of this study was to identify whether collagen accumulation driven by blocking proteases induced transcriptional changes that correlated sustained amoeboid cell state.
Project description:Amoeboid and mesenchymal migration of cancer cells both contribute to metastatic spreading of tumors. To characterize proteome changes underlying the different migratory modes, we performed mass spectrometry profiling of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells undergoing mesenchymal-amoeboid transition induced by either doxycycline-inducible constitutively active RhoA or dasatinib treatment. Cells were kept in three-dimensional collagen gels with or without induction for 48 hours, lysed and processed for mass spectrometry analysis. In case of the inducible RhoA system, we also performed parallel two-dimensional experiments with cells on top of a dense layer of collagen (it was not feasible with dasatinib treatment).
Project description:The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is a cytosolic DNA sensing system. The pathway product interferon-β (IFNβ) can inhibit tumor cell growth, but it remains unclear whether ferroptosis is involved in IFNβ-induced cell death. We found that IFNβ can increase intracellular Fe2+ and lipid peroxidation levels while decreasing GSH levels in tumor cells. RNA sequencing data showed that IFNβ caused abnormal transcriptional expression of ferroptosis-related genes in HT1080 cells, with upregulation of multiple genes including TRIM21, PML, PARP9, PARP14, and PARP10. These results indicate that ferroptosis is involved in IFNβ-induced tumor cell ferroptosis.

To characterize gene expression profiles underlying the different migratory modes, we performed RNA sequencing of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells undergoing mesenchymal-amoeboid transition induced by either doxycycline-inducible constitutively active RhoA or dasatinib treatment. Cells were kept in three-dimensional collagen gels with or without induction for 48 hours. RNA was isolated with a modified Chomczynski protocol. RNA-seq libraries were constructed from DNase I treated, rRNA depleted total RNA and sequenced with Illumina 2000/2500 sequencers.
Project description:Antitumor nitrogen mustards, such as bis(2-chloroethyl)methylamine (mechlorethamine), are useful chemotherapeutic agents with a long history of clinical application. The antitumor effects of nitrogen mustards are attributed to their ability to induce DNA-DNA and DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) that block DNA replication. In the present work, a mass spectrometry-based methodology was employed to characterize in vivo DNA-protein cross-linking following treatment of human fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cells with cytotoxic concentrations of mechlorethamine. A combination of mass spectrometry-based proteomics and immunological detection was used to identify 38 nuclear proteins that were covalently cross-linked to chromosomal DNA following treatment with mechlorethamine. Isotope dilution HPLC-ESI(+)-MS/MS analysis of total proteolytic digests revealed a concentration-dependent formation of N-[2-(S-cysteinyl)ethyl]-N-[2-(guan-7-yl)ethyl]methylamine (Cys-N7G-EMA) conjugates, indicating that mechlorethamine cross-links cysteine thiols within proteins to N-7 positions of guanine in DNA.
Project description:To define the role of MT1-MMP in the tumor progression, we suppressed its expression in human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080, using RNAi technique. The gene expression pattern was then compared betweent the two experimental cell groups with contrasting MT1-MMP expression level. Keywords: other
