Project description:Estradiol Timecourse of MDA-MB-231ER+ cells containing a WT-ER and DBDmut-ER Cells were treated with 10 nM estradiol in a timecouse ranging from 1 hour to 24 hour treatments.
Project description:In order to identify the microRNAs differentially expressed according to the estrogen receptor status, total RNAs in triplicate from six breast cancer cell lines with different ERalpha status (ER+: T47D, BT-474, MDA-MB-483; ER-: MDA-MD-436, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468) was extracted by using Trizol reagent and used for microarray experiments.
Project description:MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells expressing either wild-type estrogen receptor or the mutant estrogen recepor L540Q were treated with estradiol for 1 or 2 hours Keywords: time-course
Project description:Goal: study the impact of estrogen receptor ligands on gene expression in HR+ breast cancer cells Methods: RNA sequencing Results: Ligand 4-OH tamoxifen, a selective ER modulator (SERM), promotes transcriptional activation of ER and mimics the transcriptional effect of natural ligand E2 for a subset of ER target genes, consistently across the seven breast cell lines (MDA-MB-134 VI, MDA-MB-330, EFM-19, T-47D, and BT-474). Selective ER degraders (SERD) fulvestrant and GDC-0927 on the other hand do not induce, or induce very weakly the expression of ER target genes. The effect of GDC-0810 depends on the cellular context.
Project description:We used untargeted metabolomic profiling to distinguish this form of BCa from estrogen receptor positive (ER+) subtypes (+/- HER2/neu) and determine that may explain why a commonly used chemotherapeutic, paclitaxel, is generally ineffective at eliciting long-term cytotoxic and/or cytostatic responses in cell line models of TNBC. This metabolomics study used broad spectrum 1H NMR to compare Luminal A (BT474, MCF-7) and triple-negative (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468) BCa cell lines, to determine differences in the two subtypes as well as distinguish therapeutic treatment responses for identifying new targets for drug discovery.
Project description:Gene expression changes caused by estrogen treatment of breast cancer cells that re-express ERalpha was investigated by infecting ER-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells for 24 h with recombinant adenovirus encoding full-length human ERalpha (Ad-ERalpha) or control vector (Ad-LacZ), and treating them with 0·01% ethanol (vehicle control) or 10-8 M 17beta-estradiol (E2). After 48 h of treatment, total RNA was isolated and used for transcript profiling on Affymetrix GeneChips. Three independent biological replicates of this experiment were carried out.
Project description:RNA-Seq profiling of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. We profiled RNA expression in the estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+) MCF-7 and the triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The objective was to find genes differentially expressed between these cell lines as potential drivers of invasiveness of the triple-negative MDA-MB-231. We further utilized the identified differential genes to validate expression-responsive module of non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway.
Project description:We cultured the ER negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and the ER positive breast cancer cell line MCF7 in serine-free media for 24h. RNA was extracted from the cells and submitted for RNA sequencing.
Project description:Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a natural anti-carcinogenic compound found at high concentrations in Brassica vegetables. ER-positive cell lines demonstrated the greatest sensitivity to the anti-tumor effects of I3C compared to ER-negative breast cancer cell lines. Gene expression analysis was performed to identify genes and pathways that accounted for sensitivity to I3C. Microarray analysis performed using Illumina HT-12 v4 expression arrays A total of 36 samples were analyzed with six breast cancer cell lines treated with either the vehicle control or the drug Indole-3-carbinol in triplicate. The cell lines were: MCF-7, T47D, ZR751(sensitive to the drug, apoptosis/growth arrest) and MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-157, and MDA-MB-436 (insensitive to the drug). Sensitive cell lines are of the luminal subtype and insensitive cell lines are of the basal subtype.
