Project description:Merlin has been implicated in contact-dependent inhibition of proliferation To define genes regulated by Merlin and study their relationship to cell density-dependent gene expression, microarray experiments were performed after Merlin depletion in HMLE cells at both high and low cell densities. HMLE are non-transformed immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (Elenbaas et al., Genes Dev 15, 2001)

HMLE are non-transformed immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (Elenbaas et al., Genes Dev 15, 2001) HMLE cells were transfected with NF2 or scramble (control) siRNAs. 2 days later medium was changed (dense) or cells seeded in sparse conditions and RNA isolated the day after (3 days after siRNA transfection)
Project description:Recent studies suggest that PDEF is required for secretory cell differentiation in several epithelial tissues. To investigate PDEF in the mammary gland, we examined the effect of this transcription factor on gene expression using microarray based profiling of MCF-10A cells. These cells are non-transformed mammary epithelial cells that express protein and gene expression programs of basal epithelial cells and undetectable levels of endogenous PDEF. Bioinformatics analysis of the genes induced or repressed by PDEF overexpression in MCF10A cells revealed a striking effect on expression of luminal and myoepithelial cell markers.
Project description:To clarify transcriptional target genes of GLI1 in human mammary epithelial cells and breast cancer cells, primary culture cells of human mammary epithelium HMEC and breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were lentivirally transduced by either GLI1 or its control LacZ. Their RNA samples were served for expression analysis using AGILENT human 8x60K cDNA microarray.

Bioinformatics analysis of the genes induced or repressed by PDEF overexpression in MCF10A cells revealed a striking effect on expression of luminal and myoepithelial cell markers. Six samples were harvested 26 hours after retroviral infection with either vector control or PDEF. Each condition was performed in triplicate.
Project description:Molecular profiling of mammary epithelial cell subpopulations from premenopausal BRCA2 mutation carriers and premenopausal non-carriers was performed to identify early transcriptional perturbations in preneoplastic BRCA2-mutant breast.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA of G. biloba leaves from different planting densities using the Illumina HiSeq4000 platform. We identified the transcriptome changes in leaves , which provided valuable information for uncovering the molecular mechanisms of flavonoid accumulation in G. biloba under different densities.
Project description:We investigated how varying the composition of cell culture formulations and growing cancer cells at different densities might affect tumor cells genotype. Specifically, we compared gene expression profiles generated by human MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells cultured in different media (MEM, DMEM, or RPMI 1640) containing different concentrations of fetal bovine serum (FBS) or different sera (equine or bovine) that were grown at different cell densities.
