Project description:The Ewing Sarcoma cell lines A673, SK-ES-1, and SK-N-MC were treated with without 5-AZA to identify upregulated genes A673, SK-ES-1, and SK-N-MC were treated with 5-AZA
Project description:We identified slow-cycling cells (SCCs) in Ewing sarcoma using a label retention assay with CFSE. We labeled cells of SK-ES-1, an Ewing sarcoma cell line, with CFSE. After 5 days culture, we isolated cells retaining strong fluorescence (upper, ~10%) as SCCs and other cells (lower, ~90%) as non-slow-cycling cells (non-SCCs) using FACS AriaTM Ⅲ cell sorter.
Project description:Primary pediatric Ewing sarcoma (ES), one uncharacterized sarcoma as well as primary and well established ES cell lines were compared to probes of different normal tissues 8 Ewing sarcoma patient samples (MuET-x), 3 primary ES cell lines (SB-KMS-y), 3 well established ES cell lines (A673, SK-N-MC, RD-ES) and 22 normal tissues (PBMC, spleen, thymus, stomach, ...., uterus, fetal brain, fetal liver) were analyzed.
Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed genes in wild type SK-ES1 Ewing Sarcoma cells when compared to SK-ES1 Ewing Sarcoma cells that received six 4 Gy fractions (cumulative dose of 24 Gy) of ionizing radiation (radiation-adapted cell line). The hypothesis tested being that repeated ionizing radiation exposure of modifies radiation therapy response in Ewing Sarcoma.

Project description:Mice lacking the p27Kip1 Cdk inhibitor (Cdkn1b) exhibit increased susceptibility to lymphomas from the Maloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV), and exhibit a high frequency of viral integrations at Xpcl1 (Kis2), a locus on the X-chromosome. Xpcl1 encodes miR-106a~363, a cluster of microRNAs that are expressed in response to adjacent retroviral integrations. We report the first large-scale profile of microRNA expression in MuLV-induced lymphomas, in combination with microarray gene expression analysis. The source material was T-cell lymphomas induced by M-MuLV in p27Kip1 knockout mice and normal thymus. Surprisingly, the overall levels of miRNA expression were equivalent in lymphomas and normal thymus. Nonetheless, the expression of specific microRNAs was altered in tumors. The miR-106a~363 miRNA were over-expressed in lymphomas, particularly those with viral integrations at the Xpcl1 locus. In contrast, p27Kip1 deletion itself was associated with a different pattern of microRNA expression. Gene expression was dramatically altered in lymphomas, yet paralleled data from T-cell lymphomas induced by other mechanisms. Genes with altered expression in association with the p27Kip1 null genotype were of similar functional classes to those associated with Xpcl1 integration, but with the opposite pattern of expression. Thus, the effect of p27Kip1 deletion may be to oppose an anti-oncogenic effect of Xpcl1 rather than enhancing its oncogenic functions. A subset of miR-106a~363 target genes was consistently reduced in lymphomas with Xpcl1 integrations, particularly genes with cell cycle and immune functions. We identify four predicted target genes of miR-106a~363 miRNA, including N-Myc (Mycn), and the TGF-beta receptor (Tgfbr2) using 3'UTR reporter assays. Still, bioinformatic miRNA target predictions were poor predictors of altered gene expression in lymphomas with Xpcl1 integration. Confirmation of miR- 106a~363 gene targeting relevant to the tumor phenotype requires in vivo validation, because only a subset of predicted targets are consistently reduced in tumors that overexpress miR- 106a~363.
Project description:We have generated a miR-17~92 fl/fl allele whose expression can be turned off conditionally by Cre recombinase in the miR-106a-363-/-;miR-106b-25-/- background. The mice were crossed to CD19-Cre mice to turn off the expression of miR-17~92 specifically in B cells. Follicular B(FoB) cells were purified from CD19-Cre;miR-17~92 fl/fl;miR-106a-363;miR-106b~25 mice (tKO1, tKO2, tKO3) and CD19-cre (Control1, Control2, Control3) by MACS depletion of cells positive for CD9, CD43, and CD93 (also known as AA4.1). The purity of follicular B cells was examined by flow cytometry and was greater than 95% for all samples. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy kit (QIAGEN).
