Project description:Analysis of expression changes of cultured HepG2 hepatoma, U87 glioma, and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells subjected to hypoxia (0.5% O2) for 0, 4, 8, 12 hours . Results provide insight to cell type-specific response to hypoxia.
Project description:Determination of the genes regulated by ERRalpha nuclear receptor in MDA-MB231 cells MDA-MB231 cells were inactivated for ERRalpha using siRNA. Three different siRNAs were used (siE1, siE2, siE3). Cells treated with a control siRNA (siC samples) were used for comparison. Duplicate samples were analyzed. Transcriptomic analysis was performed by RNA-Seq
Project description:Analysis of expression changes of cultured HepG2 hepatoma, U87 glioma, and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells subjected to hypoxia (0.5% O2) for 0, 4, 8, 12 hours . Results provide insight to cell type-specific response to hypoxia. HepG2 hepatoma, U87 glioma, and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells were collected under normoxic conditions (~19% O2, 0 hours) and after 4, 8 and 12 hours of hypoxia treatment (0.5% O2). For each cell line, three replicates of total RNA at each time point were prepared using Trizol and submitted to the DFCI Microarray Core for labeling, hybridization to Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2 oligonucleotide arrays and image scanning.
Project description:RNA-Seq profiling of triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cell line with know-down of non-canonical WNT signaling receptor Ror1. The MDA-MB231 cells were either transfected with a non-sense control shRNA (shCTL) or with a ROR1 shRNA (shROR1) construct. The objective was to find expression-responsive targets of these perturbations as potential drivers of MDA-MB231 cell invasiveness.
Project description:TDP43 and SRSF3 has been reported to be RNA-binding proteins; however their roles in breast cancer progression has not been examined previously. Here, we performed RNA-seq on MDA-MB231 cells stably expressed sh-control, shTDP43, shSRSF3 or sh-TDP43 and sh-SRSF3 using lentivirus in duplicates. In addition, MDA-MB231 cells with stable expression of flag-TDP43 or flag-SRSF3 were also generated by using lentivirus. RIP-seq was also applied to identify binding RNA against Flag antibodies.
Project description:RNA-seq data from human MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells expressing control or TRA2B-targeting shRNAs grown for 8 days in 3D culture in matrigel
Project description:To define and compare the interactomes of the RNA binding protein HNRNPC in poorly vs. efficiently metastatic breast adenocarcinoma cells, we carried out immunoprecipitation of endogenous HNRNPC from parental MDA-MB231 cells vs. its highly metastatic isogenic derivate, the MDA-MB231-LM2 cells. We used a non-specific MOUSE IgG IP from each line as control. Each IP was performed in triplicate, and analysed by LC-MS/MS, on a Thermo Q-Exactive-plus instrument.
Project description:The incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) is increasing worldwide, however, therapeutic options for EC are limited and novel therapeutic targets for EC are required. We reanalyzed RNA-seq data of EC registered in The Cancer Genome Atlas and found significant upregulation of transcription factor LIM homeobox1 (LIM1) in stages II-IV compared to stage I of EC patients. LIM1-knocked down (LIM1-KD) and Control sublines were established using HEC50B cell line and then RNA-sequence results were analyzed by Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). It revealed enrichment of CREB signaling-related genes among differentially expressed genes between Control and LIM1-KD sublines. Also, decreased levels of phosphorylated CREB were observed in LIM1-KD subline. In the Xenograft model used by HEC50B sublines, tumor growth was significantly suppressed in the LIM1-KD subline compared to Control subline. Immunofluorescent staining showed decreased phosphorylation of CREB in LIM1-KD-derived tumors. Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis indicated that the high LIM1 expression group had a significantly poorer prognosis. These results suggest that LIM1 in EC progresses tumor growth and malignancy via CREB signaling.
Project description:Experiments to test the effect of CtBP2 inhibition on metabolism of breast cell lines. In particular, experiment 1 involves comparison between a normal breast cell line (MCF102A) and a triple-negative breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB231). Experiment 2 is a study between MDA-MB231 silenced for CtBP2 by stable RNA interference (shCtBP2 cells) compared to scramble (shCTRL cells). Experiment 3 is a comparison between a normal breast cell line (MCF102A) and a triple-negative breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB231)in the presence of the absence of small-molecule CtBP inhibitors: HIPP (400 μM) or P4 (300 μM)for 48 hours.
