Project description:We identified GSK3 as a regulator of GBM cell survival using microarray analysis, small molecule and genetic inhibitors of GSK3 activity. Various molecular and genetic approaches were then employed to dissect out the molecular mechanisms responsible for GSK3 inhibition-induced cytotoxicity. Keywords: time course
Project description:HeLa cell extracts with or without GSK3 enzyme inhibition were assayed using protein microarrays in order to detect GSK3-dependent changes in protein polyubiquitination.
Project description:Here we used human cortical brain organoids to probe the longitudinal impact of GSK3 inhibition through multiple developmental stages. Chronic GSK3 inhibition increased the proliferation of neural progenitors and caused massive derangement of cortical tissue architecture. Cortical organoids were differentiated as previously described (Paşca et al., 2015, doi: 10.1038/nmeth.3415.).Chronic GSK3 inhibition was performed by adding CHIR99021 (Merck SML1046) to the medium at day 0 (1 microM) and kept throughout the differentiation process until reaching the respective collection timepoints (day 18, day 50, day 100).
Project description:HeLa cell extracts with or without GSK3 enzyme inhibition were assayed using protein microarrays in order to detect GSK3-dependent changes in protein polyubiquitination. HeLa lysates in triplicates were supplemented with ubiquitin and incubated on protein microarrays (ProtoArray 5.0; Invitrogen) in the presence or absence of the GSK3 inhibitor SB-216763. Polyubiquitination of the arrayed proteins was detected using specific antibodies. ProtoArray 5.0 contains over 9,000 full-length human proteins purified and arrayed in duplicate under native conditions to maximize functionality.
Project description:To compare transcriptional changes of germinal center B cells upon GSK3 inhibition, induced GC B cells were treated with GSK3 inhibitor, CHIR99021. 407 differentially expressing genes were identified

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how GSK3 inhibition/beta Catenin stabilisation affects the transcription profile of pre B cells
