Project description:YB-1 controls epithelial-mesenchymal transitions by restricting translation of growth-related mRNAs and enabling expression of EMT-inducing transcription factors. We used microarrays to characterize the direct transcriptional and indirect translational regulation of mRNAs by exogenous YB-1 in breast cancer cell lines. Keywords: gene expression profiling
Project description:To assess the association of the nucleic acid binding protein yb-1 with mature microRNAs levels in breast cancer. To do this we performed YB-1 siRNA treatement in triplicates alongside an siRNA control Two breast cancer cell-lines, representative of Luminal A and Basal molecular subtypes were used, MCF7 and MDA-MB-435S.

To do this we performed YB-1 siRNA treatement in triplicates alongside an siRNA control Two breast cancer cell-lines, representative of Luminal A and Basal molecular subtypes were used, MCF7 and MDA-MB-435S. Two cell-lines, treated with either siYB-1 or si-Ctrl in triplicate samples.
Project description:YB-1 controls epithelial-mesenchymal transitions by restricting translation of growth-related mRNAs and enabling expression of EMT-inducing transcription factors. We used microarrays to characterize the direct transcriptional and indirect translational regulation of mRNAs by exogenous YB-1 in breast cancer cell lines. Keywords: gene expression profiling To evaluate this in a genome-wide manner we compared microarray expression profiles of total mRNA and mRNAs isolated from Ps (translationally active) or post-Ps (translationally inactive) fractions of MCF10AT-MSCV vs. MCF10AT-YB-1 cells
Project description:To assess the direct association of the nucleic acid binding protein yb-1 with mature microRNAs in breast cancer. To do this we performed immunoprecipitation (IP) of YB-1 protein to pull-down linked RNAs Two breast cancer cell-lines, representative of Luminal A and Basal molecular subtypes were used, MCF7 and MDA-MB-435S. An input control represents the RNA present in the lysate used for the IP, prior to treatment.
